…and Holding aloft her golden rod of power ; And in the other hand a flaming bar , With spear - like darting jaggéd lightning heads . Her face is like some ancient hero 's face , Far - seeing eyes , and brows , where sleep the thoughts That shall be born in lightnings , and her lips Most smoothly curved , but set too firm that love Should dally with his rosy kisses there . Her corslet clasps her firm and vital breasts , But leaves uncaught her strong and placid neck , While her loose cloak like light around her floats . The very sandals of her f…

… you see him ? He 's standing by the mast . Come back , come back ! Oh will you never hear ? He stands upright , half smiling , with his face towards the blast , My voice is weak and cannot reach as far as you , my dear . Hide your eyes , hide your eyes , and look from him if you can ! His face shines pale beneath the moonlit skies For he is sick at heart for home , yet proud to be a man But oh his guileless baby mouth , his open childlike eyes 206

…et garners slow and sure as for a prize . I looked - belike you scarcely can believe ! And saw the bound and blood - stained hands , the Face Part bruised , all shamed by that it did receive , And yet , so fierce was I, forebore to grieve . I did expect a King (I saw a slave !) A kingdom ushered with the trump of God ; And this the thronement that His subjects gave A brutal hustling to a certain grave ! I looked , and looking could have cursed the more , But in a moment , lad , He looked on me ; And I was stricken ; sought half - blind the door…

…he teacher dies — Not so the wisdom that is yours , Of tones, of smiles , of sighs. And when the vivid voice is still , And the eloquent face is gone , Dull memory is mute and chill , The ecstasy is flown . O could the gods immortalize The one remaining hour , The mind 's delight , the soul 's surprise , And your elusive power ! 205

… whose shining force Had galloped with me to eternity , Stand now , appealing like a tired horse : Unharness me . O passionate world ; O faces of my friends ! O half - grasped meanings , intricate and deep ! Sudden , as with a child , the tumult ends , Silenced by sleep . PRE - EXISTENCE . I LAID me down upon the shore And dreamed a little space ; I heard the great waves break and roar , The sun was on my face .

Since I can never see your face, And never shake you by the hand, I send my soul through time and space To greet you . You will understand . TENEBRIS INTERLUCENTEM . A LINNET who had lost her way n Sang on a blackened bough in Hell, Till all the ghosts remembered well The trees , the wind, the golden day . At last they knew that they had died When they heard music in that land , And someone there stole forth a hand To draw a brother to …

Victor B . Neuburg . And rain , gray , ceaseless rain , Insistent , nagging, dull, Comes , like a dreary pain On a face grown beautiful By patient suffering . Soft rain -drops sting . The fields are bare ; the hills , Still barer in the gray , Stand stark , and silence fills The empty , useless day , Silent , save for rain , Dead , save for pain . And the weary , changeless sea With spiritless white foam Lies level as a lea Under the empty dome : No life on sea or earth ; A cold , slow dearth . But the swallows cry in the rain , And a gull that…

…her every day Can light her Lord at nights . Tall palms rear stately heads to grace The coming of the King , Incense to smoke before his face A thousand flowers bring . And all the world , as Eden was , Is hushed in holy fear , Only small creatures shrill because God holds them very dear . For earth 's an altar ; Golgotha Forbids to flee the name ; And sad man wandering very far Finds still the Cross the same .

… Burns, for my crowned crest : Burns as the murmuring orison Of waters in the west. What angel from the silver gate Flames to my fierier face ? What angel, as I contemplate The unsubstantial space , Move with my lips the laws of Fate That bind earth 's carapace ? No angel, but the very light And fire and spirit of Her, Unmitigated , eremite , The unmanifested myrrh , Ocean , and night that is not night, The mother -mediator .

… Maisie long years back I The streets of Camden Town, I splendid in my suit of black And she divine in brown. Hers was a proud and noble face, A secret heart , and eyes Like water in a lonely place Beneath unclouded skies . A bed , a chest, a faded mat And broken chairs a few , Were all we had to grace our flat In Hazel Avenue . But I could walk to Hampstead Heath And crown her head with daisies, And watch the streaming world beneath And men with other Maisies . When I was ill and she was pale And empty stood our store , She left the latchkey o…

…nd the dim waves of surging thought Seemed to take substance by his grace , As when a sculptor who has wrought His passion into a marble face , All his imagination feeds From contours moulded by his skill , And the reflected glow exceeds The parent spark of mind and will . Once more all earth and heaven were strange , Strange to the sea the river flowed ; But not as on that primal change , When panic launched a quivering goad , And pricked each naked newborn sense , And drove me with the flail of fear Out of the wastes of impotence To build fou…

That star of resurrection Still stands above the night ; Its portent of perfection Shall bring us all to light ; And by the peace of Mary 's prayers Our rapture stands , exceeding theirs .

H . O. Meredith . I took the dead god by the hand , I filled his nostrils with my breath , I watched the sunken face expand , I watched the life creep back from death , I made him lord of earth and men And ruler over sea and air , Within my heart I loosed again The faint and frozen springs of prayer . II . Now as God waxed so I did wane , For through the dim millennial years Back to the utter source of pain He bore me surfeited with tears . Swift from the present , back through time , Swifter than spears the keen sun throws , He bore and set me…

E N . da C. Andrade . * FRAGMENT. DECAUSE your face is with me in the dark Wrought out in fire and unattainable air, Because the past is with me and despair , Kindling the blackness bright with many a spark Of memory to make me writhe and weep : Because I cannot sleep For thorny to my side is all my bed , And all the night is stubble to my soul , And all my pillow nettles to my head Because my mouth demands a spell to say , And misery demands her lawful toll Of inexpressive words , which I must pay , I set my hands towards you through the gloom…

…d ghosts fit , Their shadows thin projecting Across my path — the street lamps glare Before my soft eyes everywhere . Ah ! men forget my face is fair , The tangled glory of my hair . O sobbing wind ! O hedges dark ! 0 hills bereft and lonely ! They ' ve snatched the hidden boundary - mark , And left the ruins only . Dimly the flickering shadows stray Across the lonely hillside way : Why should I weep and howl and pray ? They sleep , and wait the empty day . 149

Man 's flesh is rooted in the ground , Whose mind , yet , reaching up the sky Far beyond scope of light or sound Commerces with infinity . Child of the earth , man loves the womb That bore , the breasts that gave him food : Nor all too much resents the doom Wh…
