…w How perfectly I love to watch you so. Wake, lover, wake, but stir not yet the child : Wake, and thy brow serene and low and mild Shall take my kisses, and my lips shall seek The pallid roses on thy perfect cheek, And kiss them into poppies, and thy mouth Shall lastly close to mine, as in the south We see the sun close fast upon the sea ; So, my own heart, thy mouth must close on me. Art thou awake? Those eyes of wondering love, Sweet as the dawn and softer than the dove, Seek no quick vision—yet they move to me And, slowly, to the child. How …

…e devil, as Shaw so bombastically tells it todo. The phantoms which confront the free man are really just hollow turnips in churchyards. Take poor Ambrose, for example. He occu- pies one of the most important positions in New York City. He lives his own life for 15 years or so. Nobody is offended. Nobody is injured. Nothing whatever happens. A pleasant time is had by all. Then, suddenly some one discovers this appalling state of circumstances, and there is Ambrose in peril of Sing-Sing and Matteawan, and all those pretty places on the Hudson. H…

Some youths take life—are Puritans, you know!” I heard it, sitting in the window—glowed, Rushed to my wife and kissed her. Lithe and young The rapture of some ardent madness flowed ; And — bye-and-bye —its miracle found tongue. Guess, guess the secret why I burn for you These years so cold to woman as I was! Guess why your laugh, your kiss, your touch run through My body, as it were a tunéd glass ! 1 Holy Queen-—one of th…

So, baffled by the echoes of hell’s pain, Blinded by grisly glamour of hell’s fire, I take my refuge in the solitude And grandeur of that irony of ire, That mockery of mercy: thus I brood Apart, alone, upon the cause of Things And wait those fearful Three. A lifeless mood Stirs my grey being: ay! no passion springs In flowerless halls as these: awhile the mind Wanders on void unprofitable wings No whither : gains new strength at last to find Custom breed sight and hearing: in the hal] The sound…

These grey eyes close to the deceitful dream Of death that will not take the tired for ever, Again, again, revolves the orb; the stream, The dew, the cloud, the ocean, and the river, My magic wand and cup and sword and spell Languish, forgotten fears. The cup is filled with tears ; The sword is red with blood; the pentacle Builded of flesh; the wand its snake- head rears Swift energy : my labour is but lost. I, who thus thought all things to end, Find in the void no friend. I …

…And we have yet another complaint. He has apparently gone over almost wholly to the Spiritists, and he has allowed him- self at times to take a very crude flag-waving attitude about National psycho- logies. I should like to point out that every case of supernormal phenomenon is ex- plained fully if we accept the Rosicrucian teaching with regard to elementals. There is no space for detailed exposition of these points, but those familiar with the theory will find no difficulty at all in applying it to any particular case. This book is decidedly s…
