… the leprosy of her own soul, And drove me forth to compass my disgrace With infamies ineffable. PACHAD. I know; I shall avenge. The old gods come again. THE LEPER. Nay!

18 Introduction I love when I love my God ; and yet in this love I find light ; an inner voice, a perfume, a savour, an embrace of a kind which does not leave the inmost of myself. There in the depths of the soul glows something which is not in space : there a word is heard which has no syllables : thence there breathes a perfume which no breezes waft away : there food is always savoured and never eaten : there are embraces which never ask to end...” 3. The few who still suppose that Omar Khayyam was a libertine should read the exposition of Bo…

88 BATHYLLUS Comest thou not, O my master, My God, my desirable one ? Each breath is a death, a disaster, Till thou art arisen, O sun ! Why should I wait in the wild, Who am thine, as a dove undefiled In the arms of an ivory child ? My body is oiled and anointed With dews of Thessalian bud ; My nails are all polished and pointed And gilded, wherethrough is the blood Like to a roseate stream In the hills of the west set agleam That flows in its channel of cream. Let us drink, O my Lord, let us fill us With purple Falernian wine ! Thy lips on the…

The stars swing censers of pale gold to God, Whose incense is the love-song of the free ; Angels with mercy and with beauty shod Move in the mazes of an Eden, trod Not by the seemly spirits of the sea, But by brave men built wholly of desire And freedom’s mystic fire, To clothe its habitants with glorious attire. 6

…e silence of the lawn Came Charicles, the darling of the dawn, Slowly, and to his steps took little heed ; He came towards the pool, his god-wrought reed Shrilling dim visions of things glorious, And saw the maiden, that disported thus, And worshipped. Then in doubt he stood, grown white And wonderful, with passions perfect might Firing his veins and tingling in his brain, He stood and whitened, and waxed red again. His oat unheeded glanced beneath the wave, His eyes grew bright and burning, his lips clave— A sudden cry broke from him ; from t…
