EPILOGUE WHEN the chill of earth black-breasted is uplifted at the glance Of the red sun million-crested, and the forest blossoms dance With the light that stirs and lustres of the dawn, and with the bloom Of the wind’s cheek as it clusters from the hidden valley’s gloom : ThenI walk in woodland spaces, musing on the solemn ways Of the immemorial places shut behind the Starry rays, Of the East and all its splendour, of the West and all its peace; And the stubborn lights grow tender, and the hard sounds hush and cease. In the wheel of heaven rev…

…aughters of tender-throated song? I swear by Aphrodite’s eyes Our Grecian maids are fairer far ! What love as sweet as theirs is lies In Sun or planet, moon or star? What nymphs as sweet as ours are dwell By foreign grove and alien well? With every watchman’s cheery cry, ‘‘Land ho!” through all the journeying years Our ever-hoping hearts reply, ‘A land of bliss at last appears.” But what land laps a foreign foam So sweet as is the hero's home? At every port the novel sights Charm for an hour—delusive bliss. On every shore the false delights Of …

…ew so mighty a blast that the dead rose all from their tombs, and our Father among them. ‘‘ Now away!” he cried. ‘‘I would look upon the sun!” And with that the fire hissed like a myriad of serpents and went out suddenly. It was a green sward golden with buttercups; and in his way lay a high wall. Before it were two children, and with obscene gestures they embraced, and laughed aloud, with filthy words and acts unspeakable. Over all of which stood the sun calm and radiant, and was glad to be. Now, think ye well, was our lather perplexed; and he…

…nds despair there is a sharper fang, Reminds my night of a tempestuous morn. For I am lost and lonely: in the skies I see no hope of any sun or star ; On earth there blooms no rose, no nenu- phar; No cross is set for hope of sacrifice. I cannot sleep, I cannot wake; and death Passes me by with his desiréd breath. No shadow in my mind to prove a sun ; No sorrow to declare that joy exists ; A cycle of dim spectres in the mists Moves just a little; lastly there is One, One central Being, one elusive shape, Not to aspire to, not to love; alas! Only…

78 ALICE: AN ADULTERY THE DAY WITHOUT A NUMBER. ‘*© never shall the sun that morrow see.” Macbeth. WE lost a day! Nor kisses, nor regret, Nor fear, nor pain, nor anything at all! The day was lost, evanished past recall, That saw no sunrise, never saw sun set— For East and West invisibly were met In gateways neither glad nor musical Nor melancholy nor funereal. Nought is there to remember nor forget. Yet in my westward journey many hours I stole, and now must pay them back again. I plucked not one flower, but an hundred flowers ; I bore an hundr…

Upon this rottenness the sun shone deadly straight As if to cook it to a turn, And give back to great Nature hundredfold the debt That, joining it together, she did earn. The sky beheld this carcase most superb out- spread As spreads a flower, itself, whose taint Stank so supremely strong, that on the grass your head You thought to lay, in sudden faint. The flies swarmed numberless on this putres- cent belly, Whence issued a battalion…

The dreadful bridal won, The demon banquet done, My flesh let loose :— Rises a strange red sun, A sight to slay or stun; Sepulchral dews Fall from the rayless globe, Whose sightless fingers probe My golden-folded robe, My soul’s misuse. And in that thankless shape Vines grow without a grape, Thorns roseless spring. Nay! There is no escape :— The yawning portals gape, The orbed ring As by a whirlpool drawn Into that devil-dawn :— I sink and shriek and fawn Upon the thing. Ha! in the desperate pang An…

All nature holds its function still ; The sun is mild; the wind is calm ; But on my ear the voices fall Distant, and irk me, and appal.

I2 ORACLES Far from sun, sea, and spring, from love or light, Imbedded in impenetrable night ; Deeper than ocean, higher than the sky, Vaster than petty loves that dream and die, Insatiate, angry, terrible for lust, Who shrivel God to adamantine dust By our fierce gaze upon him, who would strive Under our wrath, to flee away, to dive Into the deep recesses of his heaven. But we, one joy, one love, one shame for leaven, Quit hope and life, quit fear and death and love, Implacable as God, desired above All loves of hell or heaven, supremely wed, …

Thereon a countless folk, Multitudes many-coloured, grave and tall, Beautiful, make a beautiful murmur, move, In infinite musical labyrinths about. Them doth the soul of love inhabit, them The light of wisdom doth inform, them peace Hath marked and sealed her own. their lips Is one imagined silence like a sigh. Unanimous the hushéd harmony Flows forth from heart to mouth; and mouths bloom…

…I have brooded, fled far to the wooded And desolate hills. Not there is the changing of voices That lament or regret or are sad, But the sun in his strength rejoices, The moon in her beauty is glad. As timeless and deathless time passes, And death is a hermit that dwells By the imminent masses of ice, where the grasses Abandon the fells. There silence, arrayed as a spectre, Is visible, tangible, near, To the cup of the man pours nectar, To the heart of the coward is fear: Though the desolate waste be enchaunted By a spell that bewilders and chi…
