The Winged Beetle
…owers In the chalice of the flowers, More intoxicating than All the purple grapes of Pan. Ah ! my proper lips are stilled. Only, all the world is filled With the echo, that drips over Like the honey from the clover. Passion, penitence, and pain Seek their mothers womb again, And are born the triple treasure, Peace and purity and pleasure. Hush, my child, and come aloft Where the stars are velvet soft !

The Winged Beetle
150 SONG The World for a whore ! The Sky for a harlot ! All lifeat your door For a woman of scarlet ! A bitter exchange A bad bargain to strike ? It May seem to you strange : The fact isI like it ! II You offer me gold, Place, power and pleasure To have and to hold Inexhaustible treasure ! Ill give it and more In this planet of boredom For a girl thats a whore, And is proud of her whoredom !

The World’s Tragedy
I2 THE WORLD’S TRAGEDY. EVADNE Chrysis ! could one weary of All thine opulence of love ? CHRYSIS I am fair ; I cannot fear. Was my tongue too eager, dear ? EVADNE Never, never, never ! Here, Coil the roses close, a cluster In the flax, the lyric lustre ! CHRYSIS In the white waves that carouse On the satyr’s beetle brows, Plait a wreath of laurustine With the broad leaves of the vine ! SALMACIS Sweet Lysander, now thou knowest All the oracle obscure !

…hings about which one is ignorant, When they feel that a little charity is worth more than much influence and domination, When the whole world respects what even God respects in the least of His creatures, the spontaneity of obedience and the liberty of duty, Then there will be no more than one religion in the world, the Christian and universal religion, the true Catholic religion, which will no longer deny itself by restrictions of place and of persons. “Woman,” said the Saviour to the woman of Samaria, 42

Songs of the Spirit
…cends to span the curvéd leaves. The lordly stars arise With pity in their eyes So large and clear and wise, And angels yearn toward the world that wonders, wakes, and grieves. Sleep holds the hand of life, And, as a loving wife Moves not for fear the sufferer should wake before his hour, So sleep is deadly calm, And fills with perfect balm 64

Amphora
AMPHORA As from heaven the lightnings hurled Let our song be lashed and curled Round the shoulders of the world ! Ave, blessed Mary ! Let the joys thereof assuage Heathen horrors in their rage Grisly war on Thee that wage— Ave, blessed Mary ! Let Thy foes be brought to shame. Turn their hearts to holy flame To the glory of Thy name— Ave, blessed Mary ! Crown our arms with water crossed ! Bring to perfect Pentecost All the legions of the lost ! Ave, blessed Mary ! Amen. 69

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)
ROSA IGNOTA Come to me here in the great, slow silences, In the radiant dimness of the after-glow Of the passionate ache of the world : Iam Pan no more, But on my brow is set Diana’s tiar! Diana, O Diana of the woods! Lie thou with me, for I am Pan no more, But the Virgin of the Star-drift of the world ! Here in the silence, in the great green woods, Lie thou with me! Slumber with me to-night Under the stars, and the yellow, drifting moon. We will love no more as Syrinx and Pan: Diana! Come unto me, and I will grant the thing Thou cravest! Oh! …

…o sunnily through my garden of flowers, dear maiden o’ mine, and once in a while you ‘that man had no place therein. every garden is the world; and in the world these are. So every cathedral is the world, and the architect of Notre Dame deserved his heaven. To me life and death have most often appeared in majesty and beauty, in solemnity and horror ; in emotions, to be brief, so great But there shall come upon some grotesque Chinese | are moods, in which the heights are attained dragon with huge and hideous eyes leering round the delight of the…

…angels of light, and lowers the selfish man beneath the brute; it is the corruption of bodies and the emancipation of souls. The impious world of the giants raised to Heaven the soul of Enoch; above the Bacchanals of primitive Greece rises the harmonious spirit of Orpheus. Socrates and Pythagoras, Plato and Aristotle, resume, in explaining them, all the aspirations and all the glories of the ancient world; the fables of Homer remain truer than history, and nothing remains to us of the grandeur of Rome 56

…from the Universal Parent (SOUL), but let the fiery power retire into the inmost chamber, the chamber of the Heart, and the abode of the World’s Mother. This develops verse 35. The heaven-born is the human consciousness. The chamber of the Heart is the Anahata lotus. The abode of the World’s Mother is the Muladhara lotus. But there is a more technical meaning yet—and this whole verse describes a particular method of meditation, a final method, which is far too difficult for the beginner. [See, however, THE Egurnox, on all these points.] 37. The…

I am hurled Far through the vaporous confines of the world With agony of sundering sense , beholding Thy mighty flower , blood - coloured death , unfolding ! Lithe limbs and supple shoulders and lips curled , Curled out to draw me to their monstrous world ! Tannhäuser now enters the palace of the great queen Venus , the false Isis , Life ! Life ! This Kiss ! Draw in thy breath ! To me ! To me ! He is lost ! Act II opens with two beautiful songs . Venus sings the…

…e day, to be also soldiers of the old guard! Napoleon is no more a man: he is the very genius of France, he is the second saviour of the world, and he also gave for a sign the cross to his apostles. St. Helena and Golgotha are the beacons of the new civilization; they are the two piles of an immense bridge made by the rainbow of the final deluge, and which throws a bridge between the two worlds. And can you believe that a past without aureole and without glory, might capture and devour so great a future? Could you think that the spur of a Tarta…
