…omplex more , Constructed with such artifice , So full of wonder and device , Surrounded with such happy store Of miracle to celebrate , New visions sprung with each new date , Of fields unknown , and paths untrod , What sounds should I then resonate Beneath the urgent hand of God ?
…tars bend down to take From its fresh fragrance for the sake Of their own cloud-compelling peace. On earth there lies a silver fleece Of new-fallen snow, secure from sun In alleys, leafy every one This year already with the spring. The breeze blows freshly, thrushes sing, And all the woods are burgeoning With quick new buds; across the snow The scent of violets to and fro Wafts at the hour of dawn. Alone I wait, a figure turned to stone (Or salt for pain). A week ago Thine arms had held me, now I know Far off they clasp the empty air: Note.—The…

XX THE FAIRY GIFTS THE Fairies had met in solemn session to distribute their gifts among all the new-born, children who had come into life in the last twenty-four hours. All these old-fashioned and capricious sis- ters of Fate, all these bizarre mothers of joy and sorrow, were of many different kinds; some had a gloomy and sombre expression, others, a mischievous and clever one; some were young, who had always been young; oth- ers old, who had always been old. Every father who believed in fairies had come, each one carrying his new-born child i…

…H ANXIETY MUST HAVE BEEN FELT EARLY in January Cyril Grey received a letter from Lord Antony Bowling. "My good Grey," it began, "may the New Year bring you courage to break your resolutions early! My own plan is to swear off every kind of virtue, so that I triumph even when I fall! "Morningside is off to America with his New Discovery in Science. It is that all crime is due to breathing. Statistics show (a) that all convicts are guilty of this disgusting habit; (b) it is characteristic of all the inmates of our insane asylums. "On the other han…
…, the Formula of the Tetra- grammaton. Firstly, the Effect of the Operation of Yod and Hé is not Vau only, but with Vau appeareth also a new Hé, as a By-Product, and She is mysterious, being at once the Flower of the three others, and their Poison. Now by the Operation of Vau upon that Hé is no new Creation, but the Daughter is set upon the Throne of Her Mother, and by this is rekindled the Fire of Yod, which, consuming that Virgin, doth not add a Fifth Person, but balanceth and perfecteth all. For his Shin, that is the Holy Spirit, pervadeth t…
…dfold deeper. The sense of consecution itself was destroyed; things se- quent appeared as things superposed or concurrent spa- tially; a new dimension unfolded; a new destruction of all limitation exposed a new and unfathomable abyss. To all the rest was added the bewilderment and fear which earthly agoraphobia faintly shadows forth; and at the same time the close immurement weighed upon him, since from infinitude there can be no escape. Add to this the hopelessness of the monotony of the

…th the wand upratsed. Wonder and worship! Sing to me the song Of the extreme spring! Rejoice in my great strength And infinite youth and new fertility, And lave your foreheads in this holy milk That springs, the fountain of humanity, Luminous in the temple! Raise the hymn. CHORUS. Through fields of foam ungarnered sweeps The fury of the wind of dawn ; Through fiery desolation creeps The water of the wind withdrawn. With fire and water consecrate The foam and fire are recreate. With air uniting fire and water, The springtide’s unbegotten daughte…
IN A LESBIAN MEADOW 25 Calm after strain and stress Now to our weariness Brings love anew. Peace brings her balm to us, Lying as amorous Still, and as true, Linked by new mystery, Lovers confessed. A sigh Sobs to the happy sky, “ Sorrow, go to ! ”
…be that, imagines by all men, it has been realized by none. In the evening you were a little tired, and wanted to sit down in front of a new café at the corner of a new boulevard; still full of rub- bish, and already proudly displaying its unfin- ished splendours. The café sparkled; the gas itself flamed with all the enthusiasm of a first night, and lighted up with all its power the walls blinding with whiteness, the glittering

…re Though years decay ! With them my blood decays, My bones rot inwardly, the venomed days Sink shaft on shaft of agony, the years Bring new distortions, miseries, and fears ; New torture to my spirit, and forgot Of God, and health, and loveliness, I rot.
IV A JESTER THE New Year broke in a chaos of mud and snow, crossed by a thousand carriages, spar- kling with joys and sweetmeats, swarming with greeds and with despairs; the official delirium of a great city in conspiracy to disturb the brain of even the strongest solitary. In the midst of this topsy-turvyness and hubbub an ass was trotting smartly, tormented by a knave with a whip. As the ass was about to turn the corner of a pavement, a fine gentleman gloved and groomed, in a glossy suit, uncomfortably fash- ionable, bowed ceremoniously befor…
…particular group , or one part of the world , and to keep this in as good shape as possible until the time has come for Nature to grow a new set. They will be grown on a new Formula, to meet the new needs , just as when our "permanent" (Alas, not much!) set replace our milk-teeth. You ask me if I think this change can be made without bloodshed. No. The obscure autocrats of Diplomacy and Big Business are infinitely stupid and short-sighted; they cannot see an inch beyond their too often stigmatically shapen probosces , except where the profit of…
…eased with my solution of the mystery of the alleged signals, and agreed that the incident of the boat looked bad. On his part, he had a new yarn. An old boatman, as steady and sober as one could wish, swore to having seen an object of the size and shape of a football surmounting a stick about two feet out of the water, and moving against the current at a regular rate. The word "submarine" was whispered by the pallid lips of patriots. Every day the new type of submarine chaser might be seen steaming downstream, to be fitted with its armament, f…
