… an hour the golden rim of light Tinges the southward bergs; for scarce an hour The sun puts forth his seasonable flower, And only for a little while the wind Wakes at his coming, and beats cold and blind On the wild sea that struggles to release The hard grip from its throat, and lie at ease Lapped in the eternal summer. But its waves Roam through the solitude of empty caves In vain, no faster wheels the moon above, And still reluctant fly the hours of love. It is so peaceful in the castle: here The night of winter never froze a tear On my lov…

…tomist, old Time, dissect Me, nerve from flesh, and bone from bone, And raise me spiritual, changed In all but love for you, my own; The little matter rearranged, The little mind refigured. This Alone I hope or think to keep :— The love I bear you, and the kiss Too soft to call the breath of sleep. And, if you are woman, even there I do decline : we stand above. I ask not, and will take no share With you in what mankind call love. We know each other: you and I Have nought to do with lesser things. With them—'tis chance or destiny : With us, we …

…on the prow We stand and watch the moon . A star is lustred on your brow ; Your lips begin a tune, A long , low tune of love that swells Little by little , and lights The overarching miracles Of Love's desire , and Night's. It swells, it rolls to triumph -song Through luminous black skies : Thrills into silence sharp and strong , Assumes its peace , and dies . There is the night : it covers close The lilies folded fair Of all your beauty , and the rose Half hidden in your hair . There is the night : unseen I stand And look to seaward still : We…

…d me at the first glance more than did that of anyone else. He had posed more than once for me, and I have turned him at one time into a little gipsy, at another into an angel, at an- other into a Cupid; I have made him carry the strollers violin, the Crown of Thorns and the Nails of Christs Passion, and the torch of Eros. I took finally so lively a pleasure in all the droll ways of the gutter snipe that one day I asked his parentspoor folk enoughto give him to me altogether, promising to clothe him well, to give him some money, and not to …

Said Frédéric in his ear: “Monsieur lives on the Boulevard St. Germain, and loves to paint the streets.” The old man rose with alacrity, smiled, bowed, was en- chanted to meet one of the gallant allies whose courage had— he spoke glibly of the Alma, Inkerman, Sebastopol.

THE EQUINOX “ That’s my little Muriel—«I call her the Spirit of Salt— ha! ha! ho!” ”A damn nice little bit of fluff—damn lucky boy! ” growled the Colonel, winking at a chorus girl (in two thousand pounds worth of furs) whose salary was thirty shillings a week. Suddenly the Professor paled. A last glance over his shoulder showed him that a bearded man had risen and was handing a flower to Muriel. And Muriel was blushing and trembling with some emotion too profound to estimate, but clear enough to the analyst. When a man has detected a thousandth o…

The outer circle ‘“B” is the world Maya or the Samasdra Chak- kra, the inner “A” the Bodhi Satva, the Buddha, the Christ.

…to the boulevard, where, hailing a fiacre, they jumped in and clattered down towards the Seine. Roderic sat well back in the carriage, a little lost in thought. But the old man sat upright, and peered eagerly about him. Once he stopped the cab suddenly at a house with a low railing in front of it, well set back from the street, jumped out, examined it minutely, and then, with a sigh and a shake of the head, came back, a little wearier, a little older. They crossed the Seine, rattled up the Rue Bonaparte, and stopped at the door of Roderic’s stu…
