…he holiest heaven That to the immortal God of Gods is given, And, tongue-tied, stammers forthmy wife ! 4. I am dumb with rapture of thy loveliness. All metres match and mingle ; all words tire ; All lights, all sounds, all perfumes, all gold stress Of the honey-palate, all soft strokes expire In abject agony of broken sense To hymn the emotion tense Of somewhat higherO ! how highest !than all Their mystery : fall, O fall, Ye unavailing eagle-flights of song ! O wife ! these do thee wrong. 5. Thou knowest how I was blind ; How for mere minute…

AMBERGRIS 125 Save some low sigh caught up where pulses beat Of warm love waiting in the arboreal seat Till the shade lengthen on the lawn light-gleaming. Now all the birds change tune, and all the light Glows lowlier, musing on departed day. Strange wings and sombre, heralding the night, Fleet far across the woods ; and gleaming bright The evening star looks from the orient way. Shadow and silence deepen : all the woods Take on a tenderer phrase of musical Breezes : the stream-sought homes and solitudes Murmur a little where the maiden moods A…

…e! it shooteth down fresh roots into the aching earth. For the boy grew and became a man; and his eyes kindled with the lust of life and love; and the de- sire stirred him to see the round world and its many marvels. Wherefore he went forth, taking his father’s store of gold, laid up for him against that bitter day, and he took fair maidens, and was their servant. And he builded a fine house and dwelt therein. And he took no thought. But he said: Here is a change indeed ! 1 The common formula for beginning a ‘‘ Jataka,” or story of a previous i…

AMBERGRIS 39 To comprehend the others loveliness. We cannot grasp the ecstasy of this ; Only we strain and struggle and renew The utter bliss of the unending kiss, The mutual pang that shudders through and through, Repeated and repeated, as the light Can build a partial palace of the day. So in our anguish for the infinite, One moment gives, the other takes away. (I, the mere rimer, she, the queen of rime, As sweeps her sickle in the falling wheat, Her bodys sleek intoxicating time, The music of the motion of her feet !) I swoon in that imper…
