ALL NIGHT 55 Kissing the gates of hell, the sword of God, Each unto each a serpent or a rod, A well of wine and fire, each unto each, Whose lips are fain convulsively to reach A higher heaven, a deeper hell. Ah ! Day So soon to dawn, delight to snatch away ! Damned day, whose sunlight finds us as with wine Drunken, with lust made manifest divine Devils of darkness, servants unto hell— Yea, king and queen of Sheol, terrible Above all fiends and furies, hating more The high Jehovah, loving Baal Peor, Our father and our lover and our god ! Yea, th…

White slaves shall look up and behold a light Grow in the islands of the sacred sea, And on the land whose forehead kisses night And has the dawn upon its wings, whose might Is mightier for the lips of Liberty Pressed on its new-born cheek, when Church and State Drove forth to baffle Fate Our sires and yours, whose fame is grown this year so great. 3

192 THE EQUINOX Of ever deeper silences, Eons and zons and zeons Of lampless empyréans Darker and deeper and holier, caves Of night unstirred by wind, great graves Of all that is or could ever be In Time or Eternity. Drawn, drawn, inevitably spanned, Tirelessly drawn by some strange hand, Drawn inward in some sense unkenned Beyond all to an appointed end, No end foreseen or hoped, drawn still Beyond word or will Into Itself, drawn subtly, deep Through the dreamless deaths whose shadow is sleep, Drawn, as dawn shows, to the inmost divine, To the…
the universe, a vast and silent sea, crowned with the stars of night. Yet in the very midst thereof is the arrow. Little images of things that were, are the foam upon the waves. And there is a contest between the Vision and the memories. I prayed unto the Lords of Vision, saying: O my Lords,, take not away this wonder from my sight. And they said: It must needs be. Rejoice therefore if thou hast been permitted to be‐ hold, even for a moment, this Arrow, the austere, the august. But the vision is accomplished, and we have sent forth a great wind…
…urn to the heart of the roses, And curl in the new blossom now, As the holiest fire that encloses Gray flame? on the holiest brow. So midnight with magic reposes, And slumbers to visions bow. For the soul of man, being free, shall pass the gates of God, | And_ the spirit find the Sea by the feet of clim ? untrod, And the flesh, a lifeless ember, in ashen fear vrow cold, As the lives before remember the perished hours of gold.

…above, Because one flower is folded. Thus they floated Most deathlessly devoted Beyond the trees, and where the hills divide To take the nighted tide Into a darker, deeper, greener breast, Maybe to find—what rest ? Now to those girdling mountains moon-exalted Came through the hills deep-vaulted That pearly shallop : there the rocks were rent, And the pale element Flowed idly in their gorges : there the night Admits no beam of light ; Nor can the poet’s eye One ray espy. Therefore I saw not how the voyage ended, Only wherethrough those cliffs we…

… into an obscure side valley hoping to reach the comparative safety of the main road from Tengyueh to Yunnanfu by means of a detour. The nightfall of the second day showed him the camp fires of the lamas on the hills to the south and he recognized that he was cut off. In the light of the fires he could see the gigantic silhouettes of their hounds. He suddenly realized that his European boots made it easy to track him, so he discarded them. During the day, the slightest movement might easily be observed, or the hounds might be on his track, so h…
…priest Bade me good cheer, an eager acolyte, Poured the high wine, unveiled the mystic feast ;— Swooped the plumed anguish of inveterate night ; Devouring torture of insight shot. Night hovered; Dawn smote. I bowed—O God declared, discovered ! SYRINX AND PAN. SYRINX is caught upon the Arcadian field. The god’s grip huddles her girl breasts: his grim And gnarléd lips grin forth the soul of him. The imprint of his bestial heart is sealed And stamped armorial on her virgin shield, Fame’s argent heraldry despoiled. Grows dim For her the universe: s…
… and jobber sit and gloom, grown grey For hating of each other ; the hours hang. But where cliffs tremble, and the wind and sea Clamour, night thunders from the roaring West ; I worship in the storm, and fires flee From my gripped lightnings and my burn- ing crest ; And when my voice rolls, master of the weather, A thousand mighty angels cry together ! BRIGHTON, January 1899. CERBERUS. I stoop within Death’s gate, And blew the horn of Hell: Mad laughters echoing against Fate, Harsh groans less terrible, Ifowled from beneath the vault ; in night…

Sir HERPES Z. How so? SIR GRABSON J, It was her bath-night. Sir HERPES Z. Ah! enamel! But why did it hurt her? SIR GRABSON J. (Jmpressively.) It is the finger of God ! The Poet concludes. Now I have written four-and-twenty hours Without a decent rest by Kandy Lake. VOL. Ill. I invoke the urgent elemental powers To bring all to an end for Buddha’s sake. …
54 THE TALE OF ARCHAIS O dear Uranian night ! O happy hours ! Will they be long returning on their track ? Will my gold mane grow grey and know them not ? Will my hearts fibers long endure the rack That tears them nowthe fear I am forgot ? Nay, but I fear not : I well know your lips Yearn over moor and marsh for me, your hand Misses no moment but its marble slips In your bright tunic, as the little ships That seek a harbour by some rocky strand, To take your pipe, and play at loves demand Some tender song I sung you long ago To lume again so…
8 So thine eternal petals shall enclose Me, O most wonderful lady of delight, Immaculate, indivisible circle of night, Inviolate, invulnerable Rose ! The sound of my own voice carries me on. I am as a ship whose anchors are all gone, Whose rudder is held by Love the indomitable Purposeful helmsman ! Were his port high Hell, Who should be fool enough to care ? Suppose Hells waters wash the memory of this rose Out of my mind, what misery matters then ? Or, if they leave it, all the woes of men Are as pale shadows in the glory of That passi…

Yet I who am thus prisoned and exiled Am the right heir of glory, the crowned child. I match my might against my Fate’s, I gird myself to reach the ultimate shores, I arm myself the war to win :— Lift up your heads, O mighty gates | Be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors ! The King of Glory shall come in. Tau I pass from the citrine; deep indigo Is this tall column. Snakes and vu…
