…edom forbids their tyrannous reign here, Flee to their prison must they, nor deceive ; Love has a lightning that shall strip them clear, Truth through the curtain of the dark shall reave. Ye love, O happy ones andl chaste, Ye love, and light indwells your eyes ; Truth is the girdle of your waist, Ye play before the gates of pearl of Paradise. Happy lovers, dwell together In the isles of golden weather, Free of tyranny and tether, Roam the world, linked hand in hand, Moonlight for your sleep, and breezes Fresh from where the Ocean freezes, And t…

For me unveils the veile’d sky, The self-slain Ankh-af-na-khonsu Whose words are truth. I invoke, I greet Thy presence, Ο Ra-Hoor-Khuit! Unity uttermost showed! I adore the might of Thy breath, Supreme and terrible God, Who makest the gods and death To tremble before Thee :— I, I adore thee! Appear on the throne of Ra! Open the ways of the Khu! Lighten the ways of the Ka! The ways of the Khabs run through To stir me or to still me! Aum! let it fill me! 38. So that thy light is in me; and its red flame is as a sword in my hand to push thy order. T…

W E served him with the sweat of many years , W Squandered our youth in labour in his fields , Our backs were bowed beneath the heavy yields That swelled his coffers , and our wage was tears .

… Life may ope , And call me upwards to unite (Even my soul within the scope ) With That Unutterable Light. Steady of purpose , girt with Truth , I pass, in my eternal youth , And watch the centuries wax and wane ; Untouched by Time's corroding tooth , Silent , immortal , unprofane ! My empire changes not with time. Men 's kingdoms cadent as a rime Move me as waves that rise and fall. They are the parts , that crash or climb ; I only comprehend the All.

Helena, still we hold Flesh firmer, still we mix Black hair with hair as gold. Life has but served to fix Our hearts; love lingers on the tongue, And who loves once is always young.

Life is a string of pearls, And you the fir…

…uil ; the pair withdrew. The old woman lay sprawled along the divan sunk in a drunken torpor. I unrolled the manuscript and read. Brutal truth-telling humour, at times perhaps too Rabelaisian ; lyrics, some of enchanting beauty, others painfully imitative ; sonnets of exceedingly unequal power, a perfectly heartless introduction (some fools would call it pathetic), and, as a synthesis of the whole, an impression of profound sadness and, perhaps, still deeper joy, were my reward. Together with a feeling that the writer must have been a philosoph…

The oracle is suddenly grown still. Only, mine eyes, unweary of the sight, Pierce through the dawn-mist of the sacred hill And yearn toward the rose of love and light. My lips, that drank the Heliconian rill, Murmur with slow delight. I see the faces of the lyric Nine ! The Rose of God its petals will unfold ! I madden with the ecstasy divine ! My soul leaps…
