… an idle dream I have slipped from the yellow-gray; On the wings of song I have crossed the stream To the dawn of immortal youth— To the long-lost love-lit day When the gods in glamour and ruth Passed as a dream away, In a dream that was known for the truth. III AMOR INTELLECTUALIS THE soft, gray autumn’s radiant stars Bend down, like pallid nenuphars Over a woodland pool, and I See night, blind night, beyond the sky: Autumn in London, gray and gold. Autumn in London, chaste and cold. By woodland ways, with silent tread, Pass, dusty dreams! dre…

…sition of your life. “Recall to memory the ceremony of your initiation; learn to bridle your tongue and to govern your passions: and ere long you will have occasion to say: ‘In becoming a M., I truly became the man; and while I breathe will never disgrace a jewel that kings may prize.’ “Tf I live, my son, to reap the fruits of this day’s labour, my happiness will be complete. I will meet death without terror, close my eyes in peace, and expire without a groan, in the arms of a virtuous and worthy M.” XV

I hate that foolish counterfoil of grief That one pain to its friend may give relief— Eurydice replace Eurydice Long hence—no separation sharp and brief But dwelling in the intermediate Halls between Hades and the house of Fate : Atropos cut, and pass to Clotho, and she Respin the shuttle in some other state. What shall it boot me now to gather flowers From this young hope to wile the angry hours ? That many thousand years shall pass, and show Eurydice again amid her bowers, Forgetting, and myself again be born, Clasp her grave beauty in the mi…

…ow knowest thou, then, That it is ever or hath been, Sir Palamede the Saracen?” Sir Palamede was well awake. “Nay! I deliberate deep and long, Yet find no answer fit to make To thee. The weak beats down the strong; The fool’s cap shames the helm. But thou! I know thee for the shade that haunts My way, sets shame upon my brow, My purpose dims, my courage daunts. Then, since the thinker must be dumb, At least the knight may knightly act: The wisest monk in Christendom May have his skull broke by a fact.” With that, as a snake strikes, his sword L…

Harold Monro . Go to the heart of all, and watch the seed Strive godward and at last become the flower. Once , long before the birth of time, a storm Of white desire , by its own ardour hurled , Flashed out of infinite Desire , took form , Strove , won , survived : and God became the world . Next , some internal force began to move Within the bosom of that latest earth : The spirit of an elemental love Stirred outward from itself , and God was birth . Then outward , upward , with heroic thew , Savage from young and bursting blood of life , Desi…

…Science comes to say to you:—‘ Understand and you will believe.’ “ At that moment the whole of science will change front; the spirit, so long de- throned and forgotten, will take its ancient place; it will be demonstrated that the old traditions are all true, that the whole of paganism is only a system of corrupted and misplaced truths, that it is sufficient to cleanse them, so to say, and to put them back again in their place, to see them shine with all their rays. In a word, all ideas will change, and since on all sides a multitude of the ele…

XIV THE OLD MOUNTEBANK EVERYWHERE spread and moved and frol- icked the holiday folk. It was one of those fes- tivals on which, since long, mountebanks, trick performers, menagerie proprietors, and ped- lars count to make up for the slack seasons of the year. On such days it seems to me that the peo- ple forgets everything, both sorrow and toil; it becomes as children are; for the children it is a holiday, for the frown-ups it is an armistice concluded with the maleficent powers of life, a respite in the universal strife and struggle. The man of…

… used by one who is still an imperfect being. Our definition is surely confirmed by this phrase rather than denied, or even modified. To long for death is to aspire to the complete fulfilment of all one’s potentialities. And it would evidently be an error to insist upon passing on to one’s next life while there were hawsers unhitched from this one. The mere inexplicability of the various jerks would make for bewilderment, irritation, and clumsiness. For this reason, alone, it is all-important to ascertain one’s true Will, and to work out every …

…h death, compact of night ? Begin — the bitter tears of impotence. The sad permuted sense Of this despair—what would you ? and renew The long soft warfare—the enchanted arms. The silken body's charms. The lips that murmur and the breasts that sting ; The eyes that sink so deep Beyond the steeps and avenues of sleep, And of their wonder bring No ultimation from the halls of night, The slippery staircase, and the Fatal Throne, The Evil House, the Fugitive of Light, The great Unluminous, the Formless One! Stoop not ! Beneath, a precipice is set. T…

ALEXANDRA 7 We kiss Kathleen, we knock up Katherina, Like Bonapartes success at Beresina, We leer at Lilian, we long for Lottie, This is admittedly extremely dotty : We maunder of Marie, we miaul of Molly, (As in text) We nuzzle up to Norah, we nudge Nancy, All this is but the play of idle fancy : We ogle Olive, we oblate to Olga, This dodge is vain as dreams upon the Volga : We quiz Querida, quarrel over Queenie, (As for I) We rave of Rowena, we rant of Rachel, Alls a mirage like sailors see in Seychelles : We sing of Sue, we serenade Selina…
