…of Life indeed departed? Hath-the augur indeed found bloodless-hearted Firstling lamb, and the dove without entrails? Is the hope of the world for ever sunken? Was the dream of us dark, demented, drunken? All in vain are we vowed before the veils? Were we false to the faith? Did hope desert us? Was not leonine love the grace that girt us? Why then bore we the shrine across the sea? Wait! the moment of midmost murk discloses Dawn, deep laden the winds of March with roses. Groans of travail announce the babe to be. Now the waves of the pool are s…

…l lie on my love’s breast for ever, For we, being dead, shall lose each other never! (111) I turn to mortal love ; imagining Hath made a world that I may wander in; Where Love sits crowned, a blind and wingéd thing, Winged for delight of roving, blind to sin. This temple of Desire is pure and white, Transparent to the sunlight and the day! Most deeply calm under the star-lit night: Love's lamp guides lonely pilgrims on their way. My staff hath flowered with love’s immortal Rose; And I, that long be excommunicate, At early noon wait till the gat…

…rue artist, he knew no enemy so dangerous as boredom, and the bizarre efforts that he made to flee from or to conquer that tyrant of the world would certainly have endowed him (on the page of a severe historian) with the epithet of monster; if in his dominions it had been permitted to write anything at all whose sole tendency was not towards pleasure, or towards wonder, which is one of the most delicate forms of pleasure. The great misfortune of this Prince was that he had never possessed a theatre vast enough for his genius. These are young Ne…

The foolish father never thought of the hypothesis which commends itself most readily to a man of the world, not to say a man of science, and adopted that of a second Messiah ! He took the utmost pains to conceal the birth of the child, treated everybody who came to the house as an emis- sary of Herod, and finally made up his mind to flee into Egypt ! Like most religious maniacs, he never

…self And the old godhead, and the lithe strong limbs And supple loins and splendid bosom bare Full of bright milk, the breast of all the world. This lesser mastery I have made mine own By strange devices, by unheard-of ways Of wisdom, by strong sins, and magical Rituals made righteous of their own excess Of horror; but I have not made myself So absolute as I shall do to-day In this new infamy. For I must pass Desolate into the dusk of things again, Having risen so far to fall to the abyss, Deeper for exaltation; I must go Wailing and naked into…

…g, cry aloud and sacrifice the stone Mnizourin.”—ZOROASTER. As a boy at school I enjoyed a reputation for unparalleled cowardice; in the world I am equally accused of foolhardiness. The judgment of the boys was the better. The truth is that I have always been excessively cautious, have never willingly undertaken even the smallest risk. The paradoxical result is that I have walked hundreds of miles unroped over snow-covered glaciers, and that nobody (so far as I know) has even attempted to repeat my major climbs on Beachy Head. One may add a lit…

…gdon is tied up with theosophical dog- mas. He talks about the ‘new freedom,’ and bases his whole argument on the idea that the material world is a shadow show. Yet he seems to think that the real (that is, the ideal) world is more easy of apprehension, if we bind ourselves hand and foot by the senseless and cruel taboos of the most primitive tribes. He also errs, as it seems to us, in placing the yogi whose attainment is wholly selfish above the man of genius. Blavatsky made no such error. She placed the poet above the adept. In spite of his p…
