…imself with the epithet divine. The whole manœuvre is described as Religion. 78. Lift up thyself! for there is none like unto thee among men or among Gods! Lift up thyself, o my prophet, thy stature shall surpass the stars. They shall worship thy name, foursquare, mystic, wonderful, the number of the man; and the name of thy house 418. 79. The end of the hiding of Hadit; and blessing & worship to the prophet of the lovely Star! Commentary: So mote it be!
Even to the confines of wide space ; Comets their tails in fury lash To look on our irradiate face. And we will heal them. Dragon men And serpent women, worm and clod, Shall rise and look upon us then, And know us to be very God, Finding a saviour in the sight Of power attaining unto peace, And meditation’s virgin might Pregnant with twins—love and release. Are you not ready? Let us leave This little Paris to its fate! Our friends a little while may grieve, And then forget : but we, elate, Live in a larger air : awake, Compassion in the Halls o…
…mark at last, If I only became master of a College; My mighty mind was bound to have dispelled the dark at last, That covers all the rudiments of knowledge. I should not have been expected in that station to produce a thought, Or do anything but drawa little salary; And I would one day eventually most graciously let loose a thought On some subject such as Maeterlinck or Malory. But good-bye to thoughts of greatness amid men of Major Schol. degree! It’s the first step that regards me with defiance; They’ll allow me, p’raps, the General, or possi…
…e of our feet, The night of our terrible tresses! Is it a wonder, then, If the people are mad with blindness, And nothing is stranger to men Than silence, and wisdom, and kindness? Nay ! let him fashion an arrow Whose heart is sober and stout! Let him pierce his God to the marrow! Let the soul of his God flow out! Whether a snake or a sun In his horoscope Heaven hath cast, It is nothing; every one Shall win to the moon at last.

XLII PORTRAITS OF MISTRESSES IN a mans boudoir, that is to say, in the smoking-room of a fashionable gambling hell, four men were smoking and drinking. They were not precisely old or young, they bore that unmistakable distinction which belongs to the veterans of Marshal Joy, that indescribableI know not what to call itthat cold and banter- ing sadness which clearly says, We have lived strongly, and we seek something to admire and to respect. One of them turned the conversation to the subject of women. It would have been more philosophical …
…er ivory throne. What folly is it they will now be at, Gray beards, and goatish manners? Hearken them! CHORUS. In the brave old days ere men began To bind young hearts with an iron tether, Ere love was brief as life, a span, Ere love was light as life, a feather, Earth was free as the glad wild weather, God was father and friend to man. AHINOAM. Then when with mildness and much joy our judge Draw hither, let us send to meet his steps
…u wretch ? PERCY [fo Vaughan}. I will go, my true new father. Kiss Esmé for me a hundred times ! BRANDON [suddenly breaking from the Footmen]. Damn you; that’s your game, is it? No, you go with me, Sir Poet. [Rushing at his son, strikes. Percy, warding off the unexpected blow, staggers. Brandon, maddened by the zdea offighting, snatches up a knife and drives tt into his heart. He falls wth a low cry. Vaughan dashes forward and strikes Brandon heavily. He falls; Joot- men drag him off insensible. I
…dly shade Lowered oer their top, nor any light betrayed The horror of their core. Despairing then Of natures prophets, and of gods and men, She cast her arms wide open to the sky, Cried loud, and wept, and girt herself to die. It was a pinnacle of ivory Whereon she stood, the loftiest of three fangs
…le chain Of too great passion, and a mortal pain Beyond belief, and so in sudden waves Tears welled impatient from their crystal caves. (Men say those barren pinnacles are set Since then with jewels ; the white violet Was born of those pure tears ; the snowdrop grew Where waking hope her agony shot through, And where the Queen of Love had touched her tears, The new-born lily evermore appears.)
…eluctance sits Doggéd against the will to speak. Dear friend, Let us sit close and whisper. GORA. Listen, then! You are grown man: young men seek happiness. Is there one joy your soul hath never felt ? One pure sweet passion ? ULRIC. Sweet! you speak of love! You must have guessed I meant to question you, And smoothed the passage to my modesty. CORA, with bitter sorrow at her heart. You make me very glad. Yes, yes, indeed, , Love is my meaning. Does it shame me much To talk so openly of love to you ? But I am old enough to be—to be ULRIC. My wi…
…a youth still blindly groping for Romance, beneath the skirts of tawdry and painted Vice. Perhaps I may have hoped to save him from what men call the graver and angels the lesser consequences of his folly. This for the others. As to the character of the mansion at which we arrived, after a journey no less dubious than winding, I will say that, despite its outward seem- ing, it was, in reality, a most respectable place ; the main occupation of its inhabitants seemed to be the sale of as much “ champagne ” as possible ; in which inspiring preface…

THE haunted image - bearing minds of men 1 Born in these northern spheres , Are blinded by the crowding of things dreamed Upon things seen . To us Thought sinks not mistless on the shapes of things , Clear as the day ; but harsh And driven to boldness in the city - night , Straining beyond herself She makes strange dreams of her bewilderment . Of such race are you not ; For you , untripped by unseen snares , in light Can see the simple truth As i…

…al magic that toyed.” Granted. Astronomy’s no myth, But it produced Piazzi Smyth. What crazes actors ? Why do surgeons Go mad and cut up men like sturgeons? (These questions are the late Chas.

There is hardly a scientific discovery in history which was not decried as quackery by the very men whose own achievements were scarce vet recognized by the world at large. Within the memory of the présent génération, the possibility of aéroplanes was derisively denied by those very engineers accounted most expert to give their opinions. The method of divination, the ratio of it, is as obscure to-day as was that of spectrum analysis a génération ago. That the Chemical composition of the fixed stars should become known to man seemed an insane im…
190 MYSTERIES: LOVE. | Kjobnhavn, January, ’97. FEEL thee shudder, clinging to my arm, Before the battlements of the salt sea,_: Black billows tipped with phosphorescent light, Towering from where we stand to yonder shore That is no earthly shore, but guards the coast Of that which is from that which is to be; Wherefore it kindles no evasive fire Nor blazes through the night, but lies forgotten Gray in the twilight; never a star is out To light the broad horizon ; only here Behind us cluster lamps, and busy sounds Of men proclaim a city; but to…
… ? The oriflamme, the golden fleur-de-lys ? The eagle, or the tricolour ? Thy sons Choose their own flag, contented to be free, With freemen’s orisons. The mist is gathering on the seer’s sight— I cannot see the future of thy state. Or, am I dazzled by resounding light ? I know this thing—thy future shall be great ! Come war, come revolution ! In their spite Thou mayst compel thy Fate. O German Empire ! Let thy sons beware, Not crowding sordid towns for lust of gold, Not all forgetful of the herdsman’s care, Not arming all men in an iron mould.…
