…the dreadful soul of war ! For love is an equal soul, and shares an equal breath. I am nought—and thou the whole ? It were not love, but Death. Give me thy life and strength, let us struggle for mastery, As the long shore’s rugged length that battles with the sea. I am thine, I am thine indeed ! My form is vaster grown, And our limbs and lips shall bleed on the starry solar throne. My life is made as thine ; my blessing and thy curse Beget, as foam on wine, a different universe. I foam and live and leap : thou laughest, fightest, diest ! In ago…

…. Nature is chaste, and it is to chastity that she gives the key of life. To give oneself up to impure loves is to plight one’s troth to death. Liberty, which is the life of the soul, is only preserved in the order of Nature. Every voluntary disorder wounds it, prolonged excess murders it. Then, instead of being guided and preserved by reason, one is abandoned to the fatalities of the ebb and flow of magnetic light. The magnetic light devours ceaselessly, because it is always creating, and because, in order to produce continually, one must abso…

106 MYSTERIES: LYRICAL AND DRAMATIC Crowned over life, and conqueror of death, The godhood that was Christ of Nazareth— Who of all men, that will not gird his brand And purge from priestcraft the uxorious land? Christ, who lived, died, and lived, that man might be Tameless and tranquil as the summer sea, That laughs with love of the broad skies of noon, And dreams of lazy kissings of the moon, But listens for the summons of the wind, Shakes its white mane, and hurls its fury blind Against oppression, gathers its steep side, Rears as a springing…

I would the sea Swung meabout, a corpse inane and cold On her warm breast of gold! The Fear of Madness! Consciousness knows not Its own decay.
