… Aching with infinite sweetnesses within To crush the wavering insect, and to xvin From the deep crimson heart of thee a tide Of wondrous Life; as when the Crucified, Hanging in shame to expiata all sin, Found in the dying thief a soul akin Το His own soul. Is not all Truth allied? Ο miracle of miracles sublime, That all created things should sink to climb! Ο mystery incarnate of the soul, That dies but to be born anew! The whole One monstrous effigy of Life, that Time Scrawls with fantastic hands from pole to pole. ARCHER??:חתפמ

But we must work without “lust of result,” taking everything as it comes without desire indeed, but with all manner of delight! Let thy Love-Madrigal to Death, thy Mother-Mistress, ripple and swell throughout the years, with all the Starry Heaven for thine Orchestra; but do not imagine that to attain Her is the sole satis faction. It is the yearning itself that is Beatitude. …

… Half felt its fellow gather close, Yet stirred not: now the intruder moves, Turns the tune slowlier to grave rows Of palm trees, losing life in loves Less turbid than the mildest dream That ever stirred the stream Whereon night floats, a shallop faint, Ivory and silver bow and beam, Dim-figured with the images Divinely quaint Of gold engraved, forth shadowing sorceries. So the king dreamed of love: and passing on The shape moved quicker, winnowing with faint fans The soundlessair of thought : the noonday sun Seemed to the mightiest of a thousa…

… of breaking for it one’s dearest affections ; and with all one’s forces, to the point of risking one’s health, one’s fortune, and one’s life. It is by absolute devotion that faith proves itself and constitutes itself. But the man armed with such a faith will be able to move mountains. The most fatal enemy of our souls is idleness. Inertia intoxicates us and sends us to sleep; but the sleep of inertia is corruption and death. The faculties of the human soul are like the waves of the ocean. To keep them sweet, they need the salt and bitterness o…

But thou, chief lover, in whose golden heart The melody and music lifts its pzean, Whose lyre fulfilled of me, fathered of Art And that Sun’s song beyond the Empyréan, Who art myself, not any more apart, Having called my children by the call Pandean, Mellowed w…

My footmen wading through the flood ! Ay! that was life! Before the night Dipped its cool wings, their hosts were stricken Like night itself before the light. An hundred thousand corpses sicken The air of heaven. Yet some by speed Escape our vengeance—ours, indeed ! Fate, the red hound, to Aphek followed. Some seven and twenty thousand died When the great w…

Arthur Grimble . It seemed there was no room for strife , For all the world was glad with peace , And beauty was at one with life In harmony which could not cease . So instant did contentment seem I could not think it all a dream . But ah , the joy my spirit won Fled as the golden vision passed . The children of my dream are gone : A thousand ages hold them fast. The continent that used to be Is hidden in the purple sea . * BIRTH . CHE who gives birth in woe Forgets her pain at morn , Joyful to know A man is born . And all her senses sing That …

… You must observe. That implies, first of all, that you must learn to observe. And you must record your observations. No circumstance of life is, or can be irrelevant. "He that is not with me is against me." In all these letters you will find only two things: either I tell you what is bad for you, or what is good for you. But I am not you; I don't know every detail of your life, every trick of your thought. You must do ninety percent of the work for yourself. Whether it is love, or your daily avocation, or diet, or friends, or amusements, or an…

… the prophet ! Then shall this knowledge go aright. I am the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star. I am Life, and the giver of Life, yet therefore is the knowledge of me the knowledge of death. I am the Magician and the Exorcist. I am the axle of the wheel, and the cube in the circle. Remember all ye that existence is pure joy : that all the sorrows are but as shadows ; they pass and are done ; but there is that which remains. Beauty and strength, leaping laughter and delicious langour, force and fire, are of us…

Our star, the sun, gives life and light: Let that decay, the aeons drown Sense in stagnation ; death and night Smite the fallen fragments of the crown Of spring: but serves the garter so? What wandering meteor is this Across the archipelago Luminous of our starry bliss ?
