This is Lust . Peopled with all the horrors of inversion , we pass from the simple realms of prostitution , to the dismal Kingdoms of Sodom and Lesbos . Paederasts and Tribades flock round us , yet we break …
…ear. Be silent, cowards, leave him here Dead in the Morgue, so waxen pale ! He failed: shall ye not also fail? Ah! love! the strings are little ; The cords are over strong ; The chain of life ts brittle ; And keen the sword of song. Will you not seize in one firm grip Now, as I hold you, lip to lip, The serpent of Event, hold hard Its slipping coils, its writhe retard, And snap its spine? Delicate hands You have: the work is difficult ; Effort that holds and understands May do it: shall our foes exult, The daughters of Philistia laugh, The girl…

The little worm which is issuing from her mouth begins: “Tam her mouth, her beautiful mouth, that sweet frail chalice where her soul delighted to dissolve itself and to lie. That mouth of hers, so nervous, so intimately sensible, that it is pleasant to think of it as the fragile rim of the holy and wonderful amphora of her strange exultant being. “TI am—since I was fed on them—all that litany of kisses which passi…

We pass, We poets, see you grovel at our feet, Despise our love, and tender flesh, and wheat, Clamour for lust, and carrion, and grass. 61
…the proud collector of ocular jewels made present to the Lady of a pair of magnificent ear-rings— which were none other than the eyes of little Ljubov set in gold. When the Lady came to stay at the country house on the outskirts of the village, she wore her jewels. The simple peasants fell to gossip. The eyes they took for two weird precious stones resembling lapis lazuli. One of them spoke of his meeting with the Lady before poor blind little Piotr, who listened intently. I will now, my friends, give you—nay, lend you—a piece of information of…

It is here admitted that there are many ways of reaching the same end. In order to assist a pupil, the Teacher should know…
…ST Conceive, I charge thee! Brace thy spirit up To drink at that imagination’s cup ! Then, shriek, and pass! For thou shalt understand A little of the pressure of the hand That crushed me now. Yes, yes! let fancy sup That grislier banquet than old Atreus 4 planned ! wasind cannot fathom, nor the brain conceive, Nor soul assimilate, nor heart believe The horror of that Thing without a Name. Full on me, boasting, like Death’s hand it came, And struck me headlong. I weave The web of mine old agony and shame. Linger, while A little shadow of that h…

A little pain and pleasure, a little touch of time, _And you shall blindly reach to the subtle and sublime ; You shall gather up your girdles to make ceady for the way, “And by the Cross of Suffering climb seeing to the Day. _ Then we shall meet again in the Presence of the Throne, Not knowing ; yetin Him!

Her carven hand Is lifted, and the little space is spanned, And I am plucked from out her maw, and set Down on the pedestal, whose polished jet Shone like a mirror out of hell-—I stand Free, where the blood of other men is wet. So slowly, while the mob stood back, I went Out of the city, with no life content, And certain I should meet no death least. Soon, riding ever to the stubborn east, I came upon a shore whose ocean bent In one long curve,…

There was a little boat thereon; and in it under pur ple sails was a golden woman, an image of Asi wrought in finest gold. Also the river was of blood, and the boat of shining steel.
