…ed the murmurous song of thee, that blows Over their heads, my Rose: But in cool paths and shady Of the old secret woods, ah! they might find thee still! Rose! Rose! the driving rain, the shadows growing Over the pathway of the doubtful land, Obscure thee from me, and no foot-fall now I hear; if it be thou, So silent, that art going, I shall not know, nor in thy darkness understand.

…o idle a strife? The love of knowledge is the hate of life. DIOGENES. ‘* ALL things are good” exclaimed the boy. Who taste the sweetmeat find it cloy. ‘* All things are ill’ the dotard sang. Who stir the serpent feel the fang. ‘* Allis a dream!” the wise man spake. Who grasp the bubble find it break. Aye, to all three the saga saith : There is no joy in life but death. There is this limit set to lust : Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. O fools and blind that sickly strive To amass, to glut yourselves, to swive, To drink, to acquire respect and prai…

…ts pangs abate No whit: the knife replaces the arm bare. Fear grows, and torment; and distracted pain Must from sheer agony some respite find; When some half-maddened miserable brain Projects a God in his detesting mind. God who made him—to the core all evil, In his own image—and a God of Terror ; A vast foul nightmare, an impending devil; Compact of darkness, infamy, and error. Some bestial woman, beaten by her mates, In utter fear broke down the bar of reason; Shrieked, crawled to die; delirium abates By some good chance her terror in its sea…

THE EARL’S QUEST I53 Began to gather flesh, to breathe, to stir. Such was the path, yet hard should find the work Glamour, to weave her web of gossamer Over such eyesight as the Earl’s for murk. He had watched for larvæ by the midnight roads, The stake-transpiercèd corpse, the caves where lurk The demon spiders, and the shapeless toads Fed by their lovers duly on the draught That bloats and blisters, blackens and corrodes. These had he seed of old ; so now he laughed, Not without bitterness deep-lying, that erst He had esteemed such foolish dev…

…at too much salmon we get indigestion and perhaps nightmare. It is silly to suppose that a time will come when a salmon will eat us, and find us disagree. On the other hand we are always being terribly punished for actions that are not faults at all. Even our virtues rouse insulted nature to revenge. Karma only grows by what it feeds on: and if Karma is to be properly brought up, it requires a very careful diet. With the majority of people their actions cancel each other out; no sooner is effort made than it is counterbalanced by idleness. Eros…

…thine retire : I probe the scar Of self, the goddess keen and real Supreme within the naked wheel Of sun and moon and star and star, And find her but the ambient coil, Imagination’s avatar, A Buddha on his nenuphar Elaborate of Indian toil ; A mockery of a self; outrun Its days and dreams, its strength and spoil, As runs the conquering counterfoil. Thou art not ; thou the moon and sun, Thou the sole star in trackless night, The unguessed spaces one by one That mask their Sphinx, the horizon: Thou, these ; and one above them, light, Light of the…

…nt a man With deadliest delight, the self-same hour That he unveils the Isis of desire. These litde lovers strip their maidens bare, And find them—naked ! Poor and pitiful ! Look at our love instead ! I raised Thy veil, Nay, tore Thy vesture from Thee, and behold ! Then only did I see what mystery, What ninefold forest, shade impassible, Surrounds Thy heart, as with a core of light Shut in the mystery of a dead world. Thou formless sense of gloom and terror ! Thou Upas, new tree of life—by sinister 38

…d of fire, that swings Gates of adamant below Lofty minarets of snow. Thence the towering flames arise, Where the flashes white and wise Find their mortal foe. Let us thither, caring not Anything, or any more, Since the sorrow of our lot Craves to pass the abysmal door. Never more for us shall twine Rosy fingers on the vine. Never maiden lips shall cull Myriad blossoms beautiful.

…distant gloom Heaven springs, a fountain, out of Change’s womb! Time would all men within the grave inter— For Time himself shall no god find a tomb? Glory and love and work precipitate The end of man’s desire—so sayeth Fate. Man answers: Love is stronger, work more sure, Glory more fadeless than his shafts abate. Though «all worlds fail, the pulse of Life be still, God fall, all darken, he hath not his will Of deeds beyond recall, that shall endure : For us, these three divinest glasses fill,

…as dictated in answer to a casual remark by Soror Virakam. Fra. P. said jokingly that everything contained the Truth, if you knew how to find it; and, being challenged, proceeded to make good. It is here inserted, not for any value that it may have, but to test the reader. If it is thought to be a joke, the reader is one useless kind of fool ; if it is thought that Fra. P. believes that the makers of the rimes had any occult intention, he is another useless kind of fool. Soror Virakam chose the rimes at hazard.

…that darkened, I sat and listened, if God’s voice should break And pierce the hollow of my ear that hearkened, Lest God should speak and find me not awake— For his own sake. No voice, no song might pierce or penetrate That enviable universal state. The sun and moon beheld, stood still. Only the spirit’s axis, will, Considered its own soul and sought a deadlier deep, And in its monotone mood Of supreme solitude Was neither glad nor sad because it did not sleep ; But with calm eyes abode Patient, its leisure that galactic load, Abode alone, nor e…

…a on May 26th, arriving in Liverpool on June 2nd after a pleasant voyage, during the latter part of which I wrote most of Rosa Coeli, to find letters awaiting me to tell me of the tragedy of which I have given an account elsewhere. {503} From the moment of landing I struck a sequence of physical shocks. As I struggled to my feet after the blasting bolt of my bereavement, I found myself with an infected gland in the groin which required excision. The first day I left the nursing home I got a chill in the right eye which obstructed a nasal duct a…
