…f old, running —ready to run until you achieve the goal or your heart burst; but you are among a crowd. I join you. Eight years ago this day you, Hermes, led me blindfold to awake a chosen runner of the course. ‘In all my wanderings in darkness your light shone before me though I knew it not.’ To-day (one may almost hope, turning into the straight) you and I are alone. Terrible and joyous! We shall find companions at the End, at the banquet, lissome and cool and garlanded; companions with a Silver Star or maybe a Jewelled Eye mobile and uncerta…

…ncense and turning to the East repeat some simple orison such as: “May the light of Adonai arise within me, may it guide me through this day and be as a lamp to lighten my darkness.” Then make a general confession, as shortly as possible, of your last day’s work and enter it in your diary, after which sit down in a comfortable position and do the following. With your hands upon your knees and your head straight, take in a breath in measured time inwards and concentrate the whole of your thought on that breath as it flows into your lungs, cuttin…

…ripples break, and rapids gleam and shiver, And calm rebuilds her empire bye-and-bye. For joy of this alliance all the earth Forgets her day of dearth, In her new birth forgets, and maddens into mirth. The stars swing censers of pale gold to God, Whose incense is the love-song of the free ; Angels with mercy and with beauty shod Move in the mazes of an Eden, trod Not by the seemly spirits of the sea, But by brave men built wholly of desire And freedom’s mystic fire, To clothe its habitants with glorious attire. 6

… rise, and he, beginning vexed, Would end by sundry oaths in German, Whose tendency to edification Was not clear to his congregation. By day, by night, eternal stands ! One long continuous emission He left his cure in other hands And sought his cure of a physician, Who marvelled at his tale of tooling As at a pretty piece of fooling. But, soon convinced, he diagnosed This case as clearly as could be ; You suffer, sir (no, be composed !) From a mistaken chastity. Indulge your natural desires And quench those fires ! [94]

…reast and her knee. So night and so sunrise discover No light and no darkness to heed. Night is above her, and brings her no lover ; And day, but no deed. Such a sense is up and within me, A tongue as of mystical fire ! Love, beauty, and holiness win me To the end of the great desire, Where I cease from the thirst and the labour, As the land that no ploughman tills Lest the robber his neighbour unloosen the sabre From holds in the hills. From love of my life and its burden Set free in the silence remote, Grows a sorrow divine for my guerdon, A …

Come, Gretchen, in the dusk of day, Where nymphs and dryads creep away Beneath the oaks, to laugh and play And sink in lovers swoon. Well sing them sister songs, and show What secrets mortal lovers know.

AMBERGRIS 57 FROM THE MOTHERS TRAGEDY A Death in Thessaly Μόνος Θεών γάρ Θάνατος οϋ δώρων έρά ÆSCH., Fr. Niobe. Farewell ! O Light of day, O torch Althæan ! The strange fruits lure me of Persephone ; I raise the last, the memorable pæan, Storm-throated, mouthed as cave-rolling sea ; I lift the cup : deep draughts of blue Lethean ! My wine to me. O lamentable season of Apollo, When swoops his glory to the golden wave ! As all his children, so their lord shall follow ! The flower he slew, the maiden he would save, As Itylus, light woven, tuned …

THE SEVENTEENTH DAY 71 Might shelter love in some wave-carven tomb.| Of man and maid in all the world But Maytime shone in us; with words Is stilled the swift caress, of art Because my lover has me curled I drew her down reluctant to my heart, In her own loveliness. When night was silence and my bed| No kiss be such a night as this !— the gloom. Unless my Alice be the kiss. So without sin we took strange sacrament, No blade of grass awaiting takes Whose wine was kisses, and whose bread The dew, fresh-fallen above, the flower Because my lover sw…

…home from the theatre, slipped and saved himself by putting his hands to the ground. He scratched himself slightly and died within three days. There are also terrible thorns. My head tracker came to me one day with one in his foot. The end was protruding and I imagined that I should have no difficulty in pulling it out with forceps. But the thorn was soft as pith. I had to cut open the man's sole along the whole length of the thorn, seven and three quarter inches. His skin was a tough as rawhide, the epidermis a quarter of an inch thick. The th…

But Earth for love of him, for spite Of the young girl’s delight, And shame of her own age, brought forth that hour The fatal flower, Narcissus—which what soul of man shall smell Goes down to hell, Caught in the scent of sin—for such a doom Demeter’s flying loom Hath woven …

…fevered head and cool the aching eyes ; Sleep for a space, to fall upon the breast Of the dear God, that He may sympathize. Long has the day drawn out ; a bitter frost Sparkles along the streets ; the shipping heaves With the slow murmur of the sea, half lost In the last rustle of forgotten leaves. Over the bridges pass the throngs ; the sound, Deep and insistent, penetrates the mist— I hear it not, I contemplate the wound Stabbed in the flanks of my dear silver Christ. He hangs in anguish there ; the crown of thorns Pierces that palest brow ; …

…ituations on purpose, provided that they were new. This small French boat offered an adventure. A storm was raging; the Dupleix was some days late, and when she arrived, it was too rough for her to come into the harbour. I had to row out to her in an open boat. I had dismissed my servant and was the only passenger from shore. I note the fact as showing that I had in a sense broken with the past; the point will appear in a few paragraphs. The voyage was atrocious; the ship stank of oil, partly from the engines, partly from the cooking and partly…

JEPHTHATII 73 But God had pity upon us, Our evil and fallen way; Ilis mercy was mighty on us ; Ilis lips are as rosy as day Broken out of the sea at the sunrise, as fragrant as flowers in May. Our sin was great in His sight: We chased from our gates our brother, We shamed his father’s might, We spat on the grave of his mother, We laughed in his face and mocked, look- ing slyly one to another. But God beheld, and His hand Was heavy to bring us grief; He brought down fire on the land, And withered us root and Icaf Until we were utterly broken, lo…
