…yes and lips in passion curled ? > O sister and O serpent and O mate, Strike the red fang of hate . Steady and strong, persistent to the heart ! So shall this song be made more ter- rible With the soul-mastering spell, Choke, stagger, know the Evil, Beauty’s counterpart ! Whose long-drawn curse runs venom in my veins ? What dragon spouse consumes me with her breath? What passionate hatred, what infernal pains, Mixed with thy being in the womb of Death? Blistering fire runs, Scorching, terrific suns, Through body and soul in this abominable Marr…

…mes, And all the gladness of the afterglow When you come shyly out of the folded bud, Unsheath your dainty soul, bathe it in blood Of my heart? Do you love me? Do you know How I love you? twittering rhymes I string you? Is your tiny life withdrawn Into its cup for modesty when I sing So softly to you and hold you in my hands, Do you love these You wild, wee wonder of wisdom? Now I bring My lips to your body and touch you reverently, Knowing as I know what Gabriel under- stands When he spreads his wings above for canopy When you would sleep, you…

… all these maidens played, and gathered them From sad green stem Rejoicing blooms with sunlight mixed therein, But she, for sin And iron heart of the ill-minded Zeus, Caught up the dews Deep on her ankles, and went noiselessly Toward the laughing sea, And sought new blossoms—O the traitor, Earth, That brought to birth That day, as favouring the desire that swelled Beneath her heart of eld, Where dwelt the lonely, the detested one Intolerant of the sun, Hades! But Earth for love of him, for spite Of the young girl’s delight, And shame of her own…

…liquary three hosts, one whole, the two others almost like paste, and as it were kneaded with blood. The whole host bore in its centre a heart in relief on both sides; a clot of blood moulded in the form of a heart, which seemed to have been formed in the host itself in an inexplicable manner. The blood could not have been applied from without, for the imbibed colouring matter had left the particles adhering to the exterior surface quite white. The appearance of the phenomenon was the same on both sides. The Master of Magic was seized with an i…

I, and Me, and Mine were sitting with lutes in the market-place of the great city, the city of the violets and the roses. 22. The night fell, and the music of the lutes was stilled. 23. The tempest arose, and the music of the lutes was stilled. 24. The hour passed, and the music of the lutes was stilled. 25. But Thou art Eternity and Space; Thou art Matt…

HOUSEHOLD GODS Tue Scene is af the hearth of Crassus, where is a Little bronze altar dedicated to the Lares and Penates, A pale flame rises from the burning sandal-wood, on which CRASSUS throws densoin and musk. He is standing in deep dejection. Crassus. MOKE without fire! No thrill of tongues licks up The offerings in the cup. Dead falls desire. Black smoke thou art, © altar-flame, that dost dismember, Devour the hearth, to leave no ember To warm this heart. I see her still— Adela dancing here Till dim gods did appear To work our will. "

…in! O breasts with venom swollen by the snakes Of passion, whose cold slaver slimes and slakes The soul-consuming fevers that within Thy heart the fires of hell on carth begin! O heart whose yearning after truth for- sakes The law of love! O heart whose ocean breaks In sterile foam against some golden skin ! O thou whose bedy is one perfect prayer, One long regret, one agony of shame, Lost in the fragrance, speeding, subtle and rare, Up to the sky, an avenue of Hamc! My soul, thy body, in the same sin curled, With vivid lust annihilate the worl…

… Dora , have as simple a poem as could be written , and in one of the verses of a chorus in “ Jephthah , " beginning “ There flashes the heart of a rose , one of the most mystical . Here is a furious inspiration in blank verse (the prophet in “ Jephthah " speaks ) : Ha ! The rose has washed its petals , and the blood Pours through its burning centre from my heart . The fire consumes the light ; the rosy flame Leaps through the veins of blue , and tinges them With such a purple as incarnadines The western sky when storms are amorous And lie upon…

THE EQUINOX our chariot, and the reins thereof are the heart-strings of men. Every moment that we fly shall cover an aeon. And every place on which we rest shall be a young universe rejoicing in its strength; the meadows thereof shall be covered with flowers. There shall we rest but a night, and in the morning we shall flee away, comforted. Now, to myself, I have imagined the chariot of which the voice spake, and I looked to see who was with me in the chariot. It was an Angel of golden hair and golden skin, whose eyes were bluer than the sea, w…

EPILOGUE MINE heart at ease, I climbed the promon- tory Whence one may contemplate the town outspread Hospital, brothel, jail, hell, purgatory, Where each thing monstrous rears its pros- pered head! Well knowst thou Satan (ease this woe of mine!) I went not thither useless tears to shed, But an old lecher withs old concubine, To madden sense on the enormous bitch Whose hellish charm pours youth for me like wine Whether thou sleep in mornings sheets (dear witch!) Heavy, obscure, and chill; or preen thee, vain, In evenings veils, with gold e…

THE THREE WORMS “Tam her heart, her ordinary, commonplace woman’s heart. Commonplace! Ah! nothing is so mysterious as the common- place, for it is only Subtlety sleeping and holding its hands a little while. A country clod is more interesting than the most awake and magnetic of geniuses, even as the veiled and cloistered odours of Spring with which one knows the earth is tingling in Winter are more delirious and exciting than the naked bosoms of May. “Will you believe me, that, by I know not what exquisite contradiction, the sweetest kiss was e…

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES The devil is the giddiness of the intelligence stupefied by the irresolution of the heart. It is a monomania of nothingness, the lure of the abyss; independently of what it may be according to the decisions of the Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman faith, which we have not the temerity to touch. As to the reproduction of signs and characters by that universal fluid, which we call astral light, to deny its possi- bility would be to take little account of the most ordinary phenomena of Nature.
