Beauty and strength, leaping laughter and delicious languor, force and fire, are of us. This chapter returns over and over again to this theme in one form or another. 1.

The Soul of Osiris

…ard and coward ! who would take The best flower of my life and leave me so, Still loving you—Ah ! weak—and turn to go For fear of such a God ! O blind ! O fool ! To heed these strangers and to be the tool Of their smooth lies and monstrous miracles. O break this bondage and cast off their spells ! Five righteous ! Thou a righteous man ! A jest ! A righteous man—you always loved me best, And even when lured by lips of wanton girls Would turn away and sigh and touch my curls,

… earnest of the May behind. We are like choirs of angels that wait seven by seven What time aspires and assumes the Virgin to his Heaven God ! We are—oh ! I feel her presence permeate The air like snow, far snow, far snow from heaven’s gate That falls on distant mountains, carried as the breeze Fans faintly through the fountains, married to all ease. O saintly and haloes head ! O source of ecstasy. Hope of inherited heaven and bliss to be ! She comes ! I feel it in my soul ! I flush, I faint—

John St. John

… so I fell to the shocking abyss of last night! The Dweller of the Threshold is never visible until after one has fallen; he is a Veiled God and smites like the Evil Knight in Malory, riding and slaying—and no man seeth him. But when you are tumbled headlong into Hell, where he lives, then he unveils his Face, and blasts you with its horror! Very good, John St. John, now you knowl You are plain John St. John, and you have to climb right up again through the paths to the Threshold; and remember this time to mortify that self-satisfaction!

The Rose of Silence, covering as with a vesture The solemn unity of things Beheld in the mirror of truth, The Rose indifferent to God’s gesture, The Rose on moonlight wings That flies to the House of Fire, The Rose of Honey in Youth ! Ah ! No dim mystery of desire Fathoms this gulf ! No light invades The mystical musical shades Of a faith in the future, a dream of the day When athwart the dim glades Of the forest a ray Of sunlight shall flash and the dew die away ! 15.

Therefore I did take council with Husein-i-Abdal1 as to what it were fitting to do ; and he bade me look upon my member, whether it were one or two. Now then my eyes gave the lie to my hand ; but rushing upon thee like a bull, I did pe- netrate to …
