52 XIx Tue knight hath found a naked girl Among the dunes of Breton sand. She spinneth in a mystic whirl, And hath a bagpipe in her hand, Wherefrom she draweth dismal groans The while her maddening saraband She plies, and with discordant tones Desires a certain devil-grace. She gathers wreckage-wood, and bones Of seamen, jetsam of the place, And builds therewith a fire, wherein She dances, bounding into space Like an inflated ass’s skin. She raves, and reels, and yells, and whirls So that the tears of toil begin To dew her breasts with ardent p…

… to many of us, perhaps safely established in our comfortable cures, among a simple and Godfearing people, that any man should have been found to pen the disgusting blasphemies, the revolting obscenities, which defile these pages. Nor can it be denied that a certain power of expression, even at times a certain felicity of phrasing— always, indeed, a profound dramatic feeling — is to be found in these poems, Alas ! that we should be compelled to write the words! That an art essentially spiritual, an art dignified by the great names of Gascoigne …

Amen.” This was evidently the fore- shadowing of his first really notable result, the first Dawn- ing of L.V.X. which h…

…, parties of peasants singing as they walked to the guitar, and two or three tired happy fishermen strolling home from the wine-shop. We found the motor-boat at the quay, and lay lapsed in delight. It seemed hardly a minute later when we found ourselves in Sorrento couched in a huge roadster. Without a word spoken, we were off at top speed. The beauty of the drive is notorious; and yet :— “We were the first that ever burst Into that silent sea.” The world had been created afresh for our sakes. It was an ever-changing phantasmagoria of rapturous…

…The name keeps on popping up, and yet I don’t know any one at all intimately or importantly with that name. I had forgotten this diary—I found it by accident and immediately began to read it through to refresh my memory. Most of the handwriting is unreadable. I puzzled and puzzled before I could make out the words. And then when I got the words, they were so senseless. I can’t believe that all that happened to me.

It told us how to make the Devil appear. Cockie’s grandfather was great on that stuff. There’s a room in the north tower where he did his stunts. We went up after dinner.

Clear and bright the lamp burns ; clean and sharp the sword, While I watch their paths between before the Lord. 62
