So, in the secret of the shrine, Night keeps them nestled, so the gloom Laps them in waves as smooth as wine, As glowing as the fiery womb Of some young tigress, dark as doom, And swift as sunrise.

There, all is peace and ecstasy ; Pleasure, calm, and luxury ! The canals ? See yonder Ships (glad to wander) Sleep sound with their wings close-furled ! It is to fulfil Thy lightest will That they come from the end of the world.

For one kiss wilt thou then be willing to give all; but whoso gives one particle of dust shall lose all in that hour. Ye shall gather good…
