A SONNET OF SPRING FASHIONS My Chloe has asked for a sonnet To hymn her ccerulean hat. Of course I mayn’t call it a bonnet (Though the rhyme would come awfully pat). It has cherries and strawberries on it, It’s trimmed with the tail of a rat. I think that this verse, if she con it, Is likely to fall very flat. Better luck, as I hope, with the sestet.

No tide is lapping on the sand Where the stream sleeps along the glade; No nymphs are bathing on the strand, Nor in the pools a Tuscan maid ; Nor lurks a fawn within the shade ; Nor springs the moss to foxes’ feet; For all the world…

…et, Which as I have previously observed is to make it perfectly plain to the initiated, whether by force of language or mere loudness of call, That this truth is a type of true triumph beyond the bad odds of a bet, In fact I won’t take your money (the first law of betting is that you mayn’t bet on a certainty) so perfectly convinced by this time are all wise men that the score of life is at Love-all.

It will be necessary first to call the attention of the reader to our own system, without some account of which he may find himself embarrassed, even bewildered. Mr George Macdonald in his masterpiece of Hag- gardized Rabbinical tradition, “Lilith” (Off, Lilith !),} has broken the wind of the poor phrase to this effect: “To grow and not to grow; to grow larger and to grow smaller at one and the same time; yea, even to grow by the simple pr…

SAPPHO IN CHIC-A-GO 77 Calliope’s call forever closed, Clio, Melpomene, Thiala dead, Ended the stately rhythmus of Una and Oriana, ended the quest of the Holy Graal, Jerusalem a handful of ashes blown by the wind, extinct, The Crusaders’ streams of shadowy midnight troops sped with the sunrise, Amadis, Tancred, utterly gone, Charlemagne, Roland, Oliver gone Palmerin, ogre, departed, vanish’d the turrets that Usk from its waters reflected, Arthur vanish’d with all his knights, Merlin and Lancelot and Galahad, all gone, dissolv’d utterly like an …
