To earn thy curse? Is love like ours too strong To dwell before thee, and do thy throne no wrong? Art thou grown jealous of the fiery band? Lo! thou hast spoken, and thy strong command Bade earth and air divide, and on the sea Thy spirit moved—and thou must envy me! Our love must lie beneath thy bitter ban! Thou petty, envious God! My King, be sure His brute force shall not to the end endure; Some stronger soul than thine shall wrest his crown And thrust him from his own high heaven down To some obscure forgetful hell. For me Forsake thy hopes …

…t shooteth down fresh roots into the aching earth. F or the boy grew and becam e a m an; and his ey es kindled with the lust of life and love; and the de- sire stirred him to see the round world and its many marvels.

Ay, Verily and Amen, She is that; the air shudders and burns as we shout it, exulting and eager. O ye! Was not this your sneer, your vile Whisper that scorned Her and shamed Her? Was not “Whore” the truth of Her, the titl…

…ath and kill me so, I feel the ghostliness of this Unreal shuttle-game—the kiss ! Her moving body sobs above, And calls its lechery true love. Out from the flame of heart she plucks One flower of fiery light, and sucks Its essence up within her lips, And flings it into mine, and dips And bends her body, writhes and swims To link the velvet of our limbs, My drouthy passion worn and keen, And lusty life of Messaline. The heart’s blood in her boiling over She sucked from many a dying lover : The purple of her racing veins Leapt from some soul’s de…

THE FORTY-EIGHTH DAY “ Let us return “ And strain what other means is left to us In our dear peril.” Timon of Athens. Our love takes on a tinge of melancholy, The six months glory of life past on earth About to yield to Hades’ bridal birth, The world’s sad sympathy with Persephone. Yet I myself, while tuning to her key My sighs of sorrow, mused in secret mirth : “ I am convinced at last of money’s worth, For lack of which she cannot cross the sea.” I told her, like a fool, a day too soon. She went and told her story to the priest ; She wept, an…

Love under Will 355 my good sense, confirmed by my experience, urged me to surrender. “But how did you find out what your will was?” “How did you find out ?” she flashed back. “Why,” I stammered, ‘ Big Lion showed me how my heredity, my natural inclination, and the solution of my crisis, all pointed to the same thing.” “You said it,”’ she answered softly, and fired another quotation. ‘‘ The Law is for all.” “Tell me about it,” I said.

I felt with utmost bitterness the shame of having wronged so sublime a love, of having brought her into such infamy. “My God!” I said at last. ‘‘ What we owe to Big Lion |” She shook her head. ‘“‘'No,” she said, with a strange smile, ‘‘ we’ve helped him as much as he’s helped us—helped him to do his will.

One lives an hour of day; One even man’s life exceeds; One loves to chase and slay; One loves to sing and play; Each soul to his own deeds ! A share of joy is ours, A double share of grief; So sum the many hours In many hopes and powers, All powers except the chief. Emotion fills our souls, And love delights us well, And joy of sense full rolls ; But leads us, and controls Life’s céntral citadel. Whence we were drawn who knows? Of law or Gods or chance?
