The Equinox (Volume I, Number III)

… coagulated in the minds of barbarians for thousands and tens of thousands of years we shall have destroyed utterly, utterly, in as many days and nights. Civilization has driven her plough over Stellar and Solar mythology, wantonly, and at haphazard, and in their place she has cultivated the Unknowable and Andrew Lang! If the Utilitarian progress in the next few years as he has in the last, soon we shall have some socialistic fellah depriving the world of its last great monu- ments, and building labourers’ cottages out of the stones and bricks …

Alice: An Adultery

…e is enough genuine detail somewhere in the poem to enable the wronged husband to discover his wife’s infidelity, as he says in the 40th day. Our opinion of such humour is, of course, damning.—ED.

The Winged Beetle

…od, be Thou my Neighbour ; And if that God have pity, have Thou pity ! For never man was smitten as I am smitten ; Nor from Time’s yesterday to Time’s to-morrow Was there a sorrow like unto this sorrow ! How many hours was Christ upon the cross ? How many days in hell ? But I have hung From the day of infinite loss Watching her degradation into dung Three years. Three years ! And now who asks me to shed tears ?

The Vision and the Voice

…th to judge the World. One Light, let it become a thousand, and one sword ten thousand, that no man hide him from my Father’s eye in the Day of Judgment of my God. Let the Gods hide themselves: let the Angels be troubled and flee away: for the Eye of My Father is open, and the Book of the Aeons is fallen. Arise! Arise! Arise! Let the Light of the Sight of Time be extinguished: let the Darkness cover all things: for my Father goeth forth to seek a spouse to replace her who is fallen and defiled. Seal the book with the seals of the Stars Conceale…

…or me, the silence and the night 3 Life, peace ; and death, a welcome wight. SAID. THE spears of the night at her onset Are lords of the day for a while, The magical green of the sunset, The magical blue of the Nile. Afloat are the gales In our slumberous sails On the beautiful breast of the Nile. We have swooned through the midday, ex- hausted By the lips—they are whips—of the sun, The horizon befogged and befrosted By the haze and the greys and the dun Of the whirlings of sand Let loose on the land By the wind that is born of the sun.

The Mother’s Tragedy

76 MADONNA OF THE GOLDEN EYES Did a breath of wind disturb the lazy day ? Did a soul of fear flit phantom-wise across ? Suddenly we clasped and clave as spirit unto clay; Suddenly love swooped to us as swoops the albatross. O Madonna of the Golden Eyes! Did thy husband’s venom breathe on the trembling scale ? Did that voice corrupting cry across the midnight air ? What decided? Gabriel may spin the foolish tale. What decided ? We were lovers—who should care ? O Madonna of the Golden Eyes! How we clave together! How we strained caresses! How the…

The Star in the West

…he humble manger bed of the Son of Man . Dark seas of blood have long since lapped that star of the morning into the crimson oblivion of day , whose empurpled strife has also rumbled into the distance as the droning of some drowsy fire - finger on the sleeping parchment of life , murmuring and moaning as the wind - kissed mouth of a dreamy drum . Yet why should we still listen for those subtle sounds which have wearily danced out their slow saraband of sorrow . Once Orphic they arose emparadising the cavernous

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

…dark: there came unto mine ears A sound of laughter and a sound of tears, And then an utter silence. That was all; Until it happened one day to befall, Theve came to me the spivits of the years That I had wasted; Lose, they said, thy fears ; Thou art before Love's throne imperial! So then I bent mine eyes unto the earth, Andfell upon my knees, and cried for grace, Fearing to gaze upon the royal face. But suddenly there came the sound of mirth Mingled with tears, from that imperial throne, And then a voice: Come, Lord, unto thine own.

The steam of many exhalations fair Sweetens the midday air ; Echo and tree and bud chant and give birth and bear. The broad Pacific brightens into blue, And coral isles are white with beating flame Of living water on their strand, live through With million flames candescent as the dew, Red flowers too queenly for a mortal name ! The sea is pregnant with green stars; the land, The sky, like lovers stand With kiss half-consciously exchanged, hand fast in hand. O…
