…YRAMID OF GHIZEH I SAW in a trance or a vision the web of the ages unfurled, flung wide with a scream of derision, a mockery mute of the world. As it spread over sky I mapped it fair on a sheet of blue air with a hurricane pen. I copy it here for men. First on the ghostly adytum of pale mist that was the abyss of time and space (the stars all blotted out, poor faded nenuphars on the storm-sea of the infinite :) I wist a shapeless figure arise and cover all, its cloak an ancient pall, vaster and older than the skies of night, and blacker than al…

DHAMMAPADA I45 IV FLOWERS O who shall overcome this earth, the world of God’s and Yama’s power ? Who find the well taught Path as skill of herbist finds the proper flower ? The seeker shall subdue this earth, the world of God’s and Yama’s power ; The seeker find that Path as skill of herbist finds the proper flower. Like unto foam this body whoso sees, its mirage-nature comprehends aright, Breaking dread Mara’s flower-pointed shaft he goes, Death’s monarch shall not meet his sight. Like one who strayeth gathering flowers, is he who Pleasure lus…

…ing Exultant on thy breast ? What aileth thee, O many-mooded melancholy sea ? Hear the swift rush of that triumphant wing ! Listen ! the world’s whole heart is listening ! In England now the leaf leaps, and the tree Gleams dewy, and the bird woos noisily. Here in the tropics now is no such thing. Dull heavy heat burns through the clouded sky, And yet no promise of the latter rains. Earth bears her fruit, but unrefreshed of death. In winter is no sorrow, in the dry Harsh spring no joy, while pestilence and pains Hover like wolves behind the summ…

…e is no hell but earth. Vain are the falsehoods that subserve to mirth. Dust is to dust, create or uncreate. The wheel is bounded by the world’s great girth. By prayer and penance unregenerate, Redeemed by no man’s sacrifice or worth, We swing : no mortal knows his ultimate. There is no hell but earth.

Mighty is wisdom : as a man climbs high upon the hills ice- crowned, Surveys, aloof, the toiling folk far distant on the dusty ground. Among the sleepers vigilant, among the thoughtless eager- eyed The wise speeds on ; the racer so passes the hack with vigorous stride. By earnestness did Maghava attain of Gods to be the Lord. Praise is one-pointed thought’s reward ; Dispersion is a thing abhorred. The B…

THE STORM Written on the North Atlantic Ocean. IN the sorrow of the silence of the sunset, when the world’s heart sinks to sleep, And the waking wind arises from the wedding of the aether and the deep, There are perfumes through the saltness of the even ; there are hints of flowers afar ; And the God goes down lamented by the lonely vesper star. The monsters rise around us as we move in moving mist, Slow whales that swim as musing, and lo ! or ever we wist, Looms northward in the grey, mysterious ice, cathedral high, Clad in transparent clouds …

Thus eternity Wheels vain wings round us, who may never die But cling as hard as serpent’s wedlock is, One writhing glory, an immortal kiss.

O thy dark daughters ! their breasts are slack, Their lips so large and as poppies red ; They lie in a furious barren bed ; They lie on their faces ; their eyelids lack Tears, and their cheeks are as roses dead ; White are their throats, but upon the back Red blood is clotted in gouts of black.
