…Give me a master! not some learned priest Who by long toil and anguish has devised A train of mysteries, but some despised Young king of men, whose spirit is released From all the weariness, whose lips are prized By men not much— Ah! let them only once grow warm, my lips to touch.

Ah! under his protection, in his love, With my abasements emulating his, We surely should attain to That which Is, 1 A name contracted from Dives, sometimes given to Pluto and hence also to the lower world.

216 CARMEN SAECULARE The temple of their God is broken down ; Yea, Mammon’s shrine is cleansed! The house of her That ‘cowed the world with her malignant frown, And drove the Celt to exile and despair, Is battered now—God’s fire destroys the town ; London admits God’s air. They scorned the God that made them; yea, they said : ‘‘Lords of this globe, the Saxon race, are we. ‘* Europe before us lies, as men lied .; “ Britannia—ho! Britannia rules the sea!” This night thy kingdom shall be finished, Thy soul required of thee. Hail! France ! rebelled…

Tale of Archais

…ighteous in anger, doomed, for fiery sin Kindled by hell-flames, cherishéd within Her lustful heart, for sin most damnable, To suffer torment in remotest hell, Where the grim fiend grinds down with fiery stones The unrepentant marrow of men’s bones, Or chills their blood with poisonous vials of death, Or dooms them to the tooth and venomous breath Of foul black worms ; and on the earth to dwell For a long space, and there (most terrible !) To change her shape at times, and on her take The fierce presentment of a loathly snake

The Mother’s Tragedy

… see this grey unnatural mother of mine Now, as she is, disrobed of deity, And like some reeling procuress grown wolf By infamous bewitchment, haunt the stairs, And pluck the young men by the robe, and take The maidens for her sacrifice, and burn With great unquenchable dead lustrous eyes Toward impossible things grown possible In Egypt. I will cleanse the land of this. Let me remember I am yet a god! Re-enter LEPER. THE LEPER. Thou must be brought before her presently Borne in a coffin. See thou fill it not, But take the lion’s mask and play h…

Orpheus

Melpomene shone in the pyre Of terrors that burned in her lyre; But all of their passion divine I lost in the life and the stress of the world ere ever the soul of me wist. But, Orpheus, thy splendider light Was the veil of thyself the more splendid. Thou leapedst as a fountain in flight, As a bird in the rainbow descended ! From the sweet single womb risen higher Did Calliope string thee her lyre, Thy mother: and veiled her in night :-— For thyself to Herself art a veil till the veils of the Heaven be rended and ended. Now, single myself as th…

The Star in the West

…As the earth's before the sunset , and the God and I are One. I who entered in a Fool , gain the God by clean endeavour ; I am shaped as men and women, fair for ever and for ever. Such is the living poetry that abides and ever lives on , knowing no youth or age, alone an eternal man hood . Lavishly scattered , we find it throughout the works before us ; in “ Aceldama ,” “ Mysteries : Lyrical and Dramatic ,” “ The Temple of the Holy Ghost, ” “ Tannhäuser , “ Rosa Mundi,” and “ Alice .” Ec stasy is the keynote here , as it is of all poetry , all …

Jezebel

… kiss of hell, The hatred of my Jezebel. I waited many days. At last The rushing of a chariot grew Frightful through all the city vast : Men were afraid. But I—I knew Jehu was here, whose sword should dip Deep in my love’s adulterous lip. The spirit filled me. And behold ! I saw her dead stare to the skies. I came to her ; she was not cold, But burning with old infamies. On her incestuous mouth I fell, And lost my soul for Jezebel. I followed him afoot, afire ; Beneath her window he drew rein ; She looked forth, clad in glad attire, Haggard and…

An Appeal to the American Republic

The petty partisans of party war, The hireling quillmen, and the jingo crowd, The well-paid patriots, scenting from afar Silence, their doom—shall they eclipse the star Now crescent in the sky, whose music loud Rejoices humble hearts and true men all, And sounds the funeral Dirge of slave, tyrant, priest, that snarl, and snarling fall ? These we forget—remembering only this : Ye are blood-brothers, and our tongues are one ; Our hopes and conquests in one splendid kiss Unite and struggle not for empire. Is Our land and yours too little for the s…

…to impale thee On the spear of my song; my song Is thine, and thou dost not remain for long: Thou tarriest not at all, Thou guardest all men’s bale Within the web of the Mystery called Time. And so no rime Of beauty or of truth shall serve Thee, until thou shalt swerve And fall. Who shall undo the wrong? What hand shall set thee free? And who shall lend his light that it may bring An end to the light I sing? My song, my song Is blasphemy to thee, Who knowest naught, I know, of thee and me; But only the wild grace, Abandoned, but in silent harmo…
