…elody; the forest Treasures in its glades the sighs I utter. Yet may I be happy, storing honey Lover’s lips hold, gathering the sunlight Eyes and hair have kept for me, delighting In the bells far-off, in yonder thrushes, In the tawny songster of the forest, In the stream’s song, all the words of passion, Echoes of the deeper words unspoken In thy breast and mine, O heart of silence ! Will they pierce one day to other nations Clear and strong and triumphing? It may be. Then we shall not envy you, my Horace !

XIV I‘or me therein shall you erect a statue Even as you know me with the mystic eyes Hungrily, hungrily a-gazing at you, Afeast upon our strange sad ecstasies. Make me the aching mouth parched-up with blisses The lips curled back, the breath desiring you, The whole face fragrant with your full free kisses, The soul thereof exhaling scented dew Born in the utmost world where we in truth Abide like Bacchus with a Bassarid Drunk with our art, love, beauty, force and youth ; But place that head upon a pyramid Of snaky lightnings, lest — but that s…

Till the Eye that was blind Be a lamp to my mind! Coil fast all thy coils on me, dying, Absorbed in the sense of the Snake! Stir! leave the flower-throne, and up-flying!

… There is no end save the song, and song is the end ; And here with a sheaf of songs bareheaded I stand, And the light is fled from mine eyes, and the sword from my hand Is fallen ; the years have left me a fool, and the gleam Is vanished from life, and the swift years sear me and rend . There is no end save the song , and the joy in the singing , And song alone may relieve the shadowy pain . I am weary even of song , and the lyre is cold , And my heart is lead , and the world seems very old . Dusk falls on the earth , and Apollo no more comes …

A true country of Cockaigne, I tell you, where all is rich, clean, glittering like a beauti- ful conception, like magnificent plate, like splendid gold-work, like a mosaic of jewels.

…then is that which is done well done. Thus spoke FRA TER PERDURABO as he leapt from rock to rock of the moraine without ever casting his eyes upon the ground. Or in The Book of the Law. You know the passage well enough. Conclusion : this discussion has for ever abolished the use of the word faith to imply conscious belief of any sort. At least, if there should ever be an element of awareness, it is of the nature of a sudden leap into daylight of the quintessence of a mass of subconsciously selected and ordered experience. Then what , if you ple…

…ate to solve the problem. Here followeth a certain’ passage from Ezekiel. “Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shalt thy tears run down. Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men. So I spake unto the people in the morning; and at even my wife died: and I did in the morning as I was commanded. And the people said unto me: W…

Then there was "The Eyes of Pharaoh", a terrific presentation of the mystery of Egypt, and "Benzai", a poem in praise of Japan, then at was with Russia. There was a new note in my work: that of humour. "The Beauty and the Bikkhu" is a versification of a Buddhist legend. The original is unconsciously funny, and I brought this out, while preserving the sublimity of the story. Again "Immortality" develops an idea in the Gorgias of P…

… close because of night Whose heavy breath infects the air ; The dog-star gleams, a devilish light : I thought I saw behind me glare The eyes of fiends. I thought I heard An evil laugh, a mocking word. The gates swing open at the Name, Without a warder roused from sleep ; I pass, with face of burning flame, That is not quenched, although I weep. (For even my tears are tears of fire, For loathing, madness, and desire.)

Her voice was softer than a virgin’s eyes : “ Go ! my true knight : for thither, thither lies The only road for thee ; thou hast a prayer Wafted each hour—my spirit will be there ! ” Too late I knew what subtle Paradise Her dreams and prayers portend : too fresh, too fair ! I turned more wretched than myself knew yet. I told my nameless pain I should forget Its shadow as it passed. The king did start, Gripped my strong hands, and held me to his h…

ROSA IGNOTA (x1) I gaze into the calm, cool eyes of death ; I seize him gladly by his strong, calm hand; I hear him murmur, underneath his breath, Thou knowest me; dost thou not understand ? Thou hast sought Love; he hath eluded thee In the shadows; life hath worn thy soul away; Wilt thou not dwell in endless rest with me, No more deceived by hope, nor burned by day? Wherefore delay? My love is calm and sure, Not passionate, but certain of its end ; Wilt thou not come—and gladly? I can cure Alone the weariness of time, O friend. I shall not wea…
