… the moon. Under the stars will I go forth, my brothers, and drink of that lustral dew: I will return, my brothers, when I have seen God face to face, and read within those eternal eyes the secret that shall make you free. END OF your lips, and flowers upon your eyes, and a sword in your hearts, and ye also shall see God face to face.

… wild stryges shall obey the lyre, VOL. IT. Whence thy Lemurs shall gather and spring round, Girdling me in the sad funereal ground With faces turnéd back, My face averted ! I shall consummate The awful act of worship, O renowned Fear upon earth, and fear in hell, and black | Fear in the sky beyond Fate! I hear the whining of thy wolves! I hear The howling of the hounds about thy form, Who comest in the terror of thy storm, And night falls faster ere thine eyes appear Glittering through the mist. O face of woman unkissed Save by the dead whose …

…, but my life still lies Salient, unwounded, and to dule Wakes: I had rather you were now Medusa, of the awful brow, The snaky hair, the face of fear. So could I shut my eyes; feel how Your hair fell back on me and bit, Your lips descended on my face In one exenterate kiss: and wit I should abide a little space— So little a space !—and solemn rise, Face the black vaults of the alone, And, knowing, lift to you mine eyes, Look on your face, and turn to stone, XVI.

Still, we may all freely confess that they are in many ways pictur- esque: and they do lead one to the Vision of God face to face, as one who hath so been led doth here solemnly lift up his voice and testify; but their method is incredibly tedious, and unsuited to most, if not all, Europeans. Let us never forget that no poetry of the higher sort, no art of the higher sort, has ever been produced by any Asiatic race. We are the poets! we are the children of wood and stream, of mist and mountain, of sun and wind! We adore the …

She comes | Often at morning, laughs aloud At the poor femm’ de ménage ; hums Some dancing tune, invades my cloud Of idle dreams, sits poised upon The couch, and with a gay embrace Cries out ‘‘ Hullo, my baby!” Shone Such nature in a holier face?

They see no sight: they hear no sound ; But look toward the chill profound End and abyss of love. The water and the skies are fallen Far beyond sight of them. All earth and fire gasp and expire: The night hath lost her starry host, Shattered her diadem. Eternity uplifts its brink To bar the wizard wings. The lightning stoops to let them drink.
