… to be the absolute, and its ideal is a lie. Without God, being is a nothingness affirming itself, life a death in disguise, and light a night for ever deceived by the mirage of dreams. The first and most essential act of faith is then this. Being exists ; and the Being of beings, the Truth of being, is God. Being is alive with intelligence, and the living intelligence of absolute being is God. Light is real andlife-giving; now, the reality and life of all light is God. The word of universal reason is an affirmation and not a negation. How blin…

PREFACE. XIII 6. The “ Badgers’ Meeting ”. Every Monday night the school was ranged round the back of the big school- room, and the scourings of Barnswell (Cambridge’s slum) let in, fed, preached to, and dismissed. Result, epidemics of ring worm, measles, and mumps. Oh no ! not a result ; the Lord’s hand was heavy upon us because of some undiscovered sin. I might go on for a long while, but I will not. I hope there are some people in the world happy enough to think that I am lying, or at least exaggerating. But I pledge my word to the literal t…

So the morning past And found them linked inexorably fast Each in the other’s arms, Their lips are wed To drink head Of lovers’ breath. Now Zeus half rises up, Sips once again from that moon-curvéd cup, And, in his passion gazing on the flower, Darker and riper for Love’s perfect hour, His clear voice through the silent atmosphere Burst rich a…

…the dark waters close over us as we are borne down their unfathomable depths . Similarly in the following : Aching with all the pangs of night My shuddering body swoons ; my eyes Absorb her eyelids ' lazy light , And read her bosom 2 The extra half - step in “ shuddering ” in place of dis cordantly jarring on the metre produces a keener sense of agony in the reader's mind than a word which scanned correctly would do . In the next passage , taken from “ Tannhäuser , ” we find the introduction of a spondee carrying with it a curious sensation of …

THE EQUINOX The dusk is fallen ; there is no more green ; The day is past, and love and life are fled: Out from my window in the night I lean To hear the waiting ghosts of hours long dead. But, being dead, they dwell at rest in me, Turned into song by love’s strange alchemy. Wherefore I sing of things long past and dead; Wherefore I murmur foolishly in sleep; The old, old pain still throbbing through my head In dreams of desert valleys, mountains steep, With winding paths ; hot suns and scorching plains. There is a fire unquenched within my bra…

Souls of those whom I have loved, souls of those whom I have sung, strengthen me, sustain me, drive far from me falsehood and the corrupting vapours of the world, and Thou, O Lord my God, grant me Thy favour that I may make some good verses to prove to myself that I am not the meanest

80 THE SOUL OF OSIRIS. Thus I beheld the truth : ye are stars that give me light ; But I read you aright and learn I am walking in the night. Then I turned mine eyes away to the Light that is above you : The answering splendid Dawn arose, and I did not love you. I saw the breaking light, and the clouds fled far away : It was the resurrection of the Golden Star of Day. And now I live in Him ; my heart may trace the years In drops of virginal blood and springs of virginal tears. I love you now again with an undivided song. Because I can never lov…

So the king Heard a strange chant—the woods began to sing ; The river took the tune; the willows kept Time; and the black skies wept Those tears, those blossoms, those pear] drops of milk That the moon shed: and looking up he saw As if the willows were but robes of silk, The moon’s face stoop and draw Close to his forehead: at the tears she shed He knew that he was dead !
