I have borne me as a god, Avenging on my nearest blood the sin That brought me shameful to the shameless light. I have not faltered nor turned back at all, Nor moved my purpose for a moment’s thought. Nor will I now. The god is gone from me, And as a man I feel the living shame Of my existence, and the biting brand Of murder set upon me, and the sting Of my discrownéd forehead. I shall…

…sound, And, being in one tune securely bound, Even as a star became the soul of silence most profound. IV Thus there, the centre of that death that darkened, I sat and listened, if God’s voice should break And pierce the hollow of my ear that hearkened, Lest God should speak and find me not awake— For his own sake. No voice, no song might pierce or penetrate That enviable universal state. The sun and moon beheld, stood still. Only the spirit’s axis, will, Considered its own soul and sought a deadlier deep, And in its monotone mood Of supreme so…

208 MYSTERIES: When the feast turned to death for us; we reck Nothing to-night of all that past despair : Only to-night I watch your curving neck, And play with all the kisses of your hair, And feel your weight, as if you were to be Always and always—O my queen, how rare Your lips’ perfume; like lilies on the sea Your white breasts glimmer; let us wait awhile. There is no breeze to drive us down to lee On the cold rocks of yonder icy isle, And your sire’s passion must forget the chase As I forget, the moment that you smile, And sea and sky are …

104 Ecstasy stronger than Death. The ‘ Maybe ’ and the ‘ Letushope ’, the ‘ Allahknows ’ and ‘ Ibelieve ’ ; The ‘ Sweetitwas ’ and ‘ Werecall ’, the ‘ Pitytis ’ and ‘ Mighthavebeen ’4 These founder in the rushing tide, these bear a cargo black with fear, Heavy with hate and dull with woe, a miserable load of teen : While we the ‘ Jolly Roger ’5 sail whose freight is fairy6 pearls of dew ; The podex and the member locked, without a bar, without a screen. Remembrance and regret we quash ; we banish traitor hope and fear ; The present ecstasy is a…

And from the athanor of death and pain Bring golden showers of rain To crown our bed withal, the empire of the Night ! O Wife! Incarnate Beauty self-create ! O Life! O Death ! Love unimaginable ! Despair grows hope, as hope grows despe- rate; And Heaven bridges the great gulf of Tell. Thy life is met with mine, Transmuted, grown divine, Even in this, the evil of the world!

Woe on woe, The overwhelming summit of a wave Too black, too concentrate, too impious, And culminating in a double death, Hangs imminent to crush the slender sides And battered bulwarks of our state. O thou Whose hoary locks and sightless eyes compel Our pity and our reverence, and whose mouth Foams with the presence of some nearer god Insatiate of thy body frail, give tongue, If tongue may so far master deity As give his fury speech, or shape thy words From the blind auguries of madness.

… Fiercer than light, more dolorous than wine. Come, sister, come ; come, lonely queen of breath ! Here are the lustres and the flames of death.” Hence I was whirled, as in a wind of light, Out to the fragrance of a loftier air, A keener scent, and rising unaware Out of the Palace of Luxurious Night, I came to where the Gate of Heaven shone, Battled with comet and with meteor. Behold within that crested House of War, One central glory of a sapphire stone, Whereon there breathed a sense, a mist, a sun ! I stood and laughed upon the Ancient One. F…
