The Winged Beetle

ROSA DECIDUA 139 I am warned—that’s the word. Let my own back feel the lash ! All power of live is burnt right through to ash. Bray it in a mortar, mix with gall and ink, And give it to the children for a drink ! I’ll wait till she is dead, to bring those tears. I doubt not in the garden of my heart Whence she is torn that flowers will bloom again. May those be flowers of weeping, flowers of art. Flowers of great tenderness and pain, Broad lilied meers Lying in a lonely leafless forest Silent and motionless beneath the moon. I feel my weakness,…

…t death but all is intensified and de- sires become actions and have effect in friends and loved ones. No one has been able to prove the power of thought and we are not able to prove that we do some things but when we find that the things we think and wish for are taking place then we realize that our thought has had some power even though we did not speak or act. I have no interest whatever that the things said do not match with what I believed in the past. One must tell things as they find them and not as they wish they were.” O tempora, o mo…

The Mother’s Tragedy

…teway of the golden East To rule my fate; but I have conquered Fate Thus far, that I am perfect in myself, The absolute unity and triple power Engrafted. For the foolish people see An old grey woman, wicked, not divine, Who shall this hour assume the royal self And the old godhead, and the lithe strong limbs And supple loins and splendid bosom bare Full of bright milk, the breast of all the world. This lesser mastery I have made mine own By strange devices, by unheard-of ways Of wisdom, by strong sins, and magical Rituals made righteous of thei…

Little Poems in Prose

…ompensate you for the irremediable loss of your soul, I will give you the stake which you would have won had you been lucky, namely, the power to sustain and conquer during your whole life the strange malady called boredom, which is the source alike of all your diseases and of your wretched progress. Never shall you form a desire but I will help you to realize it; you shall reign over your vulgar fellows; at your service shall be all flatteries, even all ado- rations; silver and gold and precious stones, and fairy palaces shall come to seek you…

…l Stands—see his thin lips writhe and curl ! ‘‘ Because thou hast loosed the kingly man, To uttermost destruction’s dread In my almighty power and plan Appointed, I will have thy head For his, thy life for his make mine, And for his folk thou hast spared, slay thine.” But surely I was just and wise! Mercy is God’s own attribute ! Mercy to noble enemies Marks man from baser mould of brute. To fight their swordsmen—who would shirk ¢ To slay a captive—coward’s work ! ‘¢T have loved mercy,” that He said ; Nor bade me slay the Syrian Chief. Yet my h…

Jephthah

…racious spirits thronged the happy air; When God was very gracious to all folk, And lifted from us the Philistian yoke, And all the iron power of Edom broke, And all the Earth was fair! Now, seeing that we are sinners, wilt not thou Relent thy hateful brow, And bend on us a forehead full of peace, And bid thine anger cease, And speak sweet words most comfortable, and lose The bitter memory of the wrong long dead And be the lord and prince we gladly choose And crown the mercy of thy royal head, And be the chief, and rule upon thy kin, And be not…
