18 THE STAR AND THE GARTER Ay ! God of scissors ! barber God ! My earlier mystery did you learn? Unshoe the aching pseudopod ! Mysterious donkey, chew or churn Your human-kindness-milk to butter ! I gave you gratis God's advice (Since God's responsible) to—mutter In gutter, pav your tithe to vice Since virtue kicks you down its stairs. So thus I clothed it in strange word To catch you thinking unawares. Think ? do you think ? Then, thinks a bird. Read your Descartes ! Nietzsche demurred? To you, who give yourself such airs, This riddle cannot o…

…yet Given me not to forget The foaming cloud that shaped itself a rose, Whose steady passion glows Within the secretest fortress of my heart, Because, my God, Thou Art, And I am chosen of Thee for this folk, To break the foreign yoke, Therefore, Existence of Existence, hear! Bend low Thine holy ear, And make Thyself, unseen, most terrible To these fierce fiends of hell That torture holiest ears with false complaint: Bend down, and bid me faint Into the arms of night, to see Thine hosts March past the holy coasts, A wall of golden weapons for th…

Now in this Book LEMEGEToN is contained the whole Art of King Solo- mon. And although there be many other Books that are said to be his, yet none is to be compared hereunto, for this containeth them all. Though there be titles with several other Names of the Book, as THE Boox HELIsoL, which is the very same with this last Book of Lemegeton called Ars Nova or Ars Nortarlia, etc. These Books were first found in the Chaldee and Hebrew Tongues at Jerusalem by a Jewish Rabbi; and by him put into the Greek language and thence into the Latin, as it is…

And again: Let there be no Creature upon her or within her the same. All here Members let them differ in their Qualities, and let there be no Creature equal with another. Here also is the Voice of true Science, crying aloud: Variation is the Key of Evolution. Thereunto Art cometh the third, perceiving Beauty in the Harmony of the Diverse.

419 His daughter is attending art classes; for a colonel and his wife have taken pity on her and tried to extricate her from her surroundings. One day she shows him some sketches one of which is the Venus of Milo herself. Her father abuses her furiously. She is "As bad as Cousin Jenny". She snatches the drawing, telling him not to touch sacred things. His secret sin has been visited on his child. She is perfectly shameless in her iniquity! And then it strikes him that no decent art class would use such a model. He blurts out, "How did you get t…

…rd. A series of sonnets for a series of thoughts indeed is right. Rossetti’s “ House of Life ” is the best example of perfection in this art. He knows this well indeed, and achieves superb results now and then. The title sonnet, the 3rd, 4th, 11th, and some others are fine examples of this, though even here is a reference to the facts, a fatal fault in such jewel-work as a sonnet should be, and approaching the abyss of didacticism. Again, he is fatally obscure in many places. Often the sonnet-metre is at fault, and his un- doubtedly great gift …

88 BATHYLLUS Comest thou not, O my master, My God, my desirable one ? Each breath is a death, a disaster, Till thou art arisen, O sun ! Why should I wait in the wild, Who am thine, as a dove undefiled In the arms of an ivory child ? My body is oiled and anointed With dews of Thessalian bud ; My nails are all polished and pointed And gilded, wherethrough is the blood Like to a roseate stream In the hills of the west set agleam That flows in its channel of cream. Let us drink, O my Lord, let us fill us With purple Falernian wine ! Thy lips on the…

Thy bitter ban, Zeus, shall most utterly be made to cease. We must fight Fate and conquer it. Our peace, Our passion, is the silent answer given To the importunate questioning of heaven. Thou art supreme, my king, and I in thee ; We have life hard by its chill throat, to choke Its petty gasping pleasures, and to see The ancient altars with new incense smoke…

Our tent a little, bring us news Of the great world we have lost for—this! What fool exclaims—‘ to lose!” ? To lose? Ay! earth and heaven for one small kiss ! But he shall sing beside our fire The epic of the world’s desire; How Freedom fares, how Art yet revels Sane in the dance of dogs and devils. His thunder voice shall climb and crash, Scourge liars with tongue’s lightning lash, Through ranks of smitten tyrants drive, Till bosoms heave, and eyes outflash, And it is good to be alive. He shall ride off at dawn, and we Shall look upon our life…

When night was silence and my bed| No kiss be such a night as this !— the gloom. Unless my Alice be the kiss.

Seeing I linger Here on the beach— Let God’s own finger Here to me reach, Making me singer Each unto each— Nature and Man made one In the light and fire of the sun, And the sobbing tune Of the moon, Wedded in cyclic bonds, Where fall the zeon-fron…

But raise no head ; I know thee, breast and thigh, Lips, hair and eyes and mouth : I will not die But thou come with me o’er the gate of death. So, blood and body furious with breath That pants through foaming kisses, let us stay Gripped hard together to keep life away, Mouths drowned in murder, never satiate, Kissing away the hard decrees of Fate, Kissing insatiable in mad desire Kisses whose agony…
