…and makes and mars ! O thou thrice noble for the deadly scars That answered vainly thy victorious sword ! Wagner ! creator of a world of light As beautiful as God’s, bend down to me, And whisper me the secrets of thy heart, That I may follow and dispel the night, And fight life through, a comrade unto thee, Under Love’s banner with the sword of Art ! O
…s at harlot glances litten I sought that solace I shall never find. Fool ! not to tell her. Triple fool to fly The sunny glance, the moonlight meditation, For even the light of heaven. How much worse The dark antithesis, the coarser curse Of Eden ! Pass, O shadows of creation, Into the daybreak of Eternity ! 31
… a fool. He has lost ! He 1s lost ! Take the staff ! Trace the rule Of the circle crossed ! [She makes a circle and a cross therein.| No light therein ! Mother of sin, Thou hast won ! Death to the sun ! Hail to the glow Of the corpse decayed ! Hail to the maid ! Ho! Ho! [She rambles about the stage, muttering savage runes with dismal laughter. Her words are inarticulate, when with a last Ho! Ho! the curtain falls.| [The scene rises, and we again see the stage as in Scene I. Maurya and Criospa as in the opening. Criospa is, however, absolutely c…
…w little use the poet had ‘Byen in Maytime for a maid? Why! all's a whirl; but I, be sure, ‘Am axle, if at all I be, So you, if yet your light endure, ‘Are model, and no more, to me So well you sit, though, you shall earn Beyond your hourly increment A knowledge. Are you fit to learn, Or will you rather be content With muddled mighty talk of Teutons Evolving from the tangled Skein, ues 16 h compared to Newton's
…rough the vines re-born, And wherever the water-lilies grew, And the green, green willows swung. XVI And still the lady of my dream As a light before me goes ; I see her in the sun’s last gleam, In the moonlight on the snows. Ah! chiefly then her song is sung, When the moon o’er the dark green woods is hung; She is born at midnight on the stream, A starry, full-blown rose. Victor B. Neusure.

…ne, the languor rare ! For oh ! my lover, I never did see So goodly a company. HERACLITUS Wait but a moment — stand apart, Revolving the light in thine innermost heart ! Content not the soul with the skin of the grape ! — But the truer sense than the eye and the ear Make to appear ! CHRYSIPPUS Verily, master, I obey. I travel the exalted way. I pierce the sense ; I gain the goal, Distill the essence of the soul — HERACLEITUS I shroud thee in the web of wool. I lift the burden of the bull. Lion and eagle ! dart ye forth Into the cold clime of th…
Marjory Mines. Evening .

THE SWAN . THE other lights , the other trees , 1 The other houses hung in the pool Are his : he is the lord of these . It is a kingdom deep and cool .

… and fall, 1 If there be God behind the stars and sullen blue, If all our dreams that we would proudly hold as true Are shadows from the light of God who is the All ; If we who looked adoringly in Nature 's eyes , And we who find in Love the highest truth we know And bear the blazing torch of song aloft to show Divinity indwells the lovely forms we prize ; If we , then , poets , dare believe as we dare see The God above , among us , who is God indeed , O Thou , who gave us voice and vision to our need , Take to Thyself the songs that had their …
EPILOGUE In happiness of heart I mount these heights Where I can watch my city hour by hour; Her hells and hospitals and bawdy light, Where every evil opens like a flower. You know, o Satan, lord of my grief unsung, I go not down to weep against your power, But like an old tramp in rotting dung Rather would I get drunk with this great whore Whose rank infernal charm preserves me young. And if in sheets obscure she still must snore, A bleary bitch, or like a young girl go Tripping in veils of evening, gold once more, I love you, o my city, in yo…
LIBER TERTIUS VEL LABORIS 183 Minos, A passionate being ! No weal to the light of his head In the place of the seeing ! sHACUS. Awake, wild justice of dread ! Lest shadows be fleeing In fear of the portent to lurk In a deeper-detested Cave, ere we wake to the work. RHADAMANTHUS, Black snakes many-crested, Arise ! lest the calm of the murk From our places be wrested. MINOS. Who art thou ? AL ACUS, “Vhat ails thee to irk From earth tender-breasted To the milkless dugs of the grave And the iron breasts of the pit? RHADAMANTHUS, Can a bodily presen…
…In the sphere I am everywhere the centre, as she, the circumference, is nowhere found. Commentary: This is again interesting as throwing light on the thesis: “Every man and every woman is a star.” There is no place soever that is not a Centre of Light. This Truth is to be realized by direct perception, not merely by intellection. It is axiomatic; it cannot be demonstrated. It is to be assimilated by experience of the Vision of the “Star-Sponge.” 4. Yet she shall be known & I never. Commentary: See later, verse 13, “thou” (i.e. the Beast, who is…
…a-wise Large, full, and moist, within them lies the silver rampart, whence there slips That rosy flame of love, the fount of blood at my light bidding spilt ; And my desires, if aught thou wilt, are with thy mind, and thy account With God shall bear my name the more ; give me the knowledge, me the power For some new sin one little hour, and bankrupt God the creditor : Steal from his stock of suffering ; his tender mercies rob at will ; Destroy his graciousness, until he must avenge the name of king. Strange fascinations whirl and wind about my …
… than this delirious fight! For all the glowing fragrance of a dream And all the sudden ecstasy of words Deluge my spirit with a lake of light.
… Feel the breath of your freedom burn in my veins, and Freedom! Freedom ! echoes adown cliff and precipitous ghyll ; Fire and desire and light and youth and passion and freedom Race in my blood untamed, laugh in my face for love. Down by the cold gray lake the sun descends from his hunting, Shadow and silence steal over the frozen fells. Oh, to be there, my heart !_ And the vesper bells awaken, Colleges call their children, Lakeland fades from the sight. Only the sad slow Cam like a sire with age grown heavy Wearily moves to the sea, to quicken…

…eeing I linger Here on the beach— Let God’s own finger Here to me reach, Making me singer Each unto each— Nature and Man made one In the light and fire of the sun, And the sobbing tune Of the moon, Wedded in cyclic bonds, Where fall the zon-fronds, Whose large bed bears a child (In its due period) Not merciful and not severe, Knowing nor love nor fear, But majesty most mild, Being indeed a God. Yea, let the very ray-hand of Apollo Lead me where none may follow 97
…yet sly, as if ever ready to laugh at the intricacies of his own intellect, sat next to him, his deep and wondrous eyes lit with strange light, while with words like burning flames of steel he shore asunder the sophistries of one, the complacencies of another. They were feared, these two ! There also did he meet the well known ethicist, I . . . , fair as a boy, with boys golden locks curling about his Grecian head ; I . . . , the pure and subtle-minded student, whose lively hu- mour and sparkling sarcasm were as froth upon the deep and terribl…

There is the dissolution, and eternal ecstasy in the kisses of Nu. 45. There is death for the dogs. 46. Dost thou fail? Art thou sorry? Is fear in thine heart? 47. Where I am these are not. 48. Pity not the fallen! I never knew them. I am not for them. I console not: I hate the consoled & the consoler. 49. I am unique 8c conqueror. I am not of the sl…
