150 THE EQUINOX For that whereof He was wrought Was bound up with the curse Of love. So let him lie with earth above, And earth below. He hath forgotten who was fulfilled of woe. He is buried deep, oh! deep: Leave him alone to sleep. Leave him to sleep alone under the sky; He had one mighty vision, and did die. Now he is dead that dream shall be fulfilled While he doth sleep. For, whilst his song is utterly stilled, His dream doth wake again, And laugh and weep. But he is free, and knoweth no more pain. VII THE SONG Yea! I who have lain dead am…

…shake thee and smite, While the stars hide their lustre affrighted In measureless night. I will neither delay nor dissemble But utter my love in thine ear Though my voice and my countenance tremble With a passion past pity and fear ; I will speak from my heart till thou listen With the soft sound of wings of a dove, Till thine eyes answer back till they glisten O Lucius, love !

Thus also in mankind do we behold the spiritual…

…e. For what is pleasant is assimilated easily and without ecstacy: it is in the transfiguration of the loathsome and abhorred into The Beloved that the Self is shaken to the root in Love. Thus in human love also we see that mediocrities among men mate with null women: but History teacheth us that the supreme masters of the world seek ever the vilest and most horrible creatures for their concubines, overstepping even the limiting laws of sex and species in their necessity to transcend normality. It is not enough in such natures to excite lust or…

This love , to use a good old English word , was a “ lusty ” love , that is a healthy love , and not a lustful or perverted desire . The beauty of nature , the beauty of living , and above all the bright beauty of Archais ; intoxicated him ; before him whirled visions of loveli ness , and as her eyes reflected the passion of his own , as they smiled back on …
