…o a prostitute , “ Do you find beauty in her ? ” to which Percy answers : “ No , but I see in her history a poem , to which I trust that God will write an end !” And so the God , who is eternal Love , at present does — in the Lock Hospital or over Waterloo Bridge . Nevertheless there is a great truth hidden in this line . The truth that love shall triumph over mind , or rather that both shall agree . If the carnal act is foul , it is then as foul in the palace as in the brothel : mere prostitution of the body need not necessarily mean a similar…

…bdullah no doubt considered that the specific differences between man and woman vitiated the symbol, since man is formed in the image of God, and in Muslim theology is not supposed to have forfeited the same. It may here be remarked (as a bulwark to this contention) that el Haji is conspicuous — in fact, incurs reproach in consequence — for his in- novation in the matter of scientific precision. Hafiz uses his symbols vaguely : the tresses of his mi- stress are no doubt the Glories of God, but they are also at times the rays of the sun, the ver…

…e to believe.” The ass trots off, all on fire, but suddenly falls headlong into a deep pit. He is about to bear witness that there is no God but God, and Mo- hammed is his prophet (i.e. about to resign himself to death), when he is lifted out by a woman’s hand and set on solid earth again. “ O ass ! how dost thou dare awaken Ayeshah the promised wife of the Prophet of Allah ? ” “ O Ayeshah ! I met a cer- tain dog, who bore witness that thou wast tighter than it is possible to believe, the liar ! ” “ Verily, o ass, but Omar hath passed by since …

…Life and Light ! The shadows of my hopes devoured, The crown of my intent cast down, The hate that shone, the love that lowered, Make up God’s universal frown. O Lord, O Hormakhou, display The rosy earnest of the day ! The mighty pomp of desolate Dead kings, a pageant, moves along ; Dead queens unite in desperate, Unsatisfied, unholy song. O Khephra, manifest in flesh, Arise, create the world afresh ! The silence of my heart is one With memory’s insatiate night ; T

… she—how else ? What rest May a man know until his quiet breast Beats to her tune ? I garbed me as a priest And moved towards my Host—on God I feast ! We lay in naked chastity, caressed Child-like or dreaming, till the dawn repressed Our sighs : that nuptial yet hath never ceased. That was the best : far sundered by the tide Dolorous, endless as Oceanus, A serpent-river girdling the large earth, Still in that pure embrace we bring to birth A thousand pleasant children born of us, Sacred and sinless, if unsanctified. 76

Yea ; must some god announce afresh No more they are twain ; they are one flesh ? For here I sit and laugh and smoke And play with youth and pleasure ; Life is a dream, and death a joke, And love a thing of leisure The dance is done, the spell is broke, And marred the merry measure ! Yea ; my small kiss is somehow worth The love of all the boys on earth ! The shy sweet smiles, the tender eyes And bodies slim that woo me ;

40 XV Sir PaLaMeEDE the Saracen Hath come to an umbrageous land Where nymphs abide, and Pagan men. The Gods are nigh, say they, at hand. How warma throb from Venus stirs The pulses of her worshippers ! Nor shall the Tuscan God be found Reluctant from the altar-stone : His perfume shall delight the ground, His presence to his folk be known In darkling grove and glimmering shrine— O ply the kiss and pour the wine! Sir Palamede is fairly come Into a place of glowing bowers, Where all the Voice of Time is dumb: Before an altar crowned with flowers …

…I am thine, As the vine’s ensigns entwine At the sacring of the sun, Thou the even and I the odd Being and becoming one On the abacus of God! Thou the sacred snake that rears Death, a jewelled crest across The enchantment of the years, All my love that is my loss. Life and death, two and one, Hate and love, moon and sun, Light and darkness, never swerve From the norm, note the nerve, Name the name, exceed the excess Of thy lamp of loveliness, Living snake of lazy love, Ithyphallic that uprears Its Palladium above The enchantment of the years !
