…orn fools in all matters of the soul that they not only require no bribe to lié, but can hardly be paid to see truth. Until Strindberg’s life is utterly dissociated from his art, the latter will not be truly valued. ACG WIND ALONG THE WasTE. By MAUDE ANNESLEY. William Rider & Son. I CONFESS to having expected a very flatulent novel. Judge of my surprise to find a novel of Paris as it is!

Hour by sweet hour I watched her sorrowing, While the strong fever fought uncon- quering With native coolness of her life, o’er- worm Or poisoned ; thus I fought the long forlorn Battle all day, until the evening Brought back sweet health on sleep and noiseless wing : Strong love of the long battle was re- born. The child slept elsewhere that she might sleep well. Therefore, not fearing anything, I came ; _ Lit my love’s candle at her body’s flame, And fought not with the fevers now that swell Our burning lips and bosoms, un…

But always beats the heart: the more I polish, tint, or carve, I ask Strength from the heart’s too generous store To bend my fingers to the task. Cease : I am broken: nought remains.

…is the strength of rest ; Not on thunders or clouds She rideth But draweth me down to Her breast : No maker of men, but dissolving Their life from its burden of ills, Ever resolving the circle revolving To peace of the hills. And dark is Her breast and unlighted ; But a warm sweet scent is expressed, And a rose as of sunset excited In the strength of Her sunless breast. Her love is like pain, but enchanted : Her kiss is an opiate breath Amorously panted : her fervours last granted Are sorrow, and death.
