The Equinox (Volume I, Number V)
…earth is black, Crystalline out of space Flames the immortal face! The glory of the comet-tailed track Blinds all black earth with tears Silence awakes and hears The music of thy moving come over the starry spheres. Wrapped in rose, green, and gold, Blues many and manifold, Α cloud of incense hides thy splendour of light; Hides from the prayer’s distress Thy loftier loveliness, Till thy veil’s glory shrouds the earth from night; And silence speaks indeed, Seeing the subtler speed Of its own thought than speech of the Pandean reed !

What madness make me awake From the silence of utmost eld The grey cold slime oithe snake That her poisonous body held ? By night I ravished a maid From her father’s camp to the cave. I bared the beautiful blade ; I dipped her thrice i’ the wave ; I slit her throat as a lamb’s, That the {aunt of blood leapt high With my clamorous dithyrambs, Like a stain on the shield of the sky. With blood and censer and song I rent the mysterious veil; My eyes…

And in my bosom are the champak—blossom, and the mustard seed, and the oak-leaf, more lovely than before. And upon us watcheth ever he that is appointed to watch.
