…losed book behind—Shelley an open before me. Shelley’s own birds are above Close to me (why should they fear me ?) May I believe it—that love Brings his bright spirit so near me That, should I whisper one word—Shelley’s swift spirit would hear me. Heaven is not very far ; Soul unto soul may be calling When a swift meteor star Through the quick vista is falling. Loose but your soul—shall its wings find the white way so appalling? Heaven, as I understand, Nearer than some folk would make it ; God—should you stretch out a hand, Who can be quicker …

Literary ability on Conan Doyle’s and Marie Corelli’s birthdays. Poetic talent on that of Ella Wheeler Wilcox!!!

A well-to-do girl from Calcutta practised sheer promiscuity; an exquisitely beautiful woman of the middle classes did worse, and actually married a most hideous dwarf. To-day things are very much the same. A very celebrated dancer from America never goes on the stage without previously dragging a stranger—a man from the street, a stage carpenter, it matters nothing—to her dressing-room. One o…

Ye love me not; ye fear me; ye might thrust Some petty obstacle before my hands When I would grasp your promise, and betray Your faith for fear of me. I read thy thoughts, Old man; I trust no word of thine; but these Full-hearted mourners, them will I believe Upon their oath most solemn and secure. But take thou warning now! I shall not spare Grey hairs or faltering limbs for treachery. ELEAZAR. Lift up your hand…

I melt as snow; as ice I thaw; As mist I dissipate: I am borne, I draw Through chasms in the mountains: stormy gusts Ofancient sorrows and forgotten lusts Bear me along : they touch me not: I waste The memory of long lives interlaced Fades in my fading. I disintegrate, Fall into black oblivion of Fate. My being divides : I have forgot my name. I am blown out as a th…

…erhaps Iam more in tune and so do not notice such vivid changes. I have found nature very fair and beautiful, this summer. I have got to love Her so much more than formerly. Then again, I have mastered Her a little more; I have learnt more of swimming, climbing, walking and other exercises through daily practice. I have made new friends, have learnt from them and taught them in return. All this, in spite of the limited existence of living in a tiny tent and often being 162

…a on her way to Marseilles. Here Cremers was to be landed, so that she might return to Paris to report her success to Douglas, while the lovers went on their honeymoon. The wind blew fresh from the south-west, and Cremers, who was a good sailor, came as near as she ever could to joy as she felt the yacht begin to roll, and pictured the tepid ice-cream heroine of romance in the saloon. Meanwhile, the destroyer, her nose burrowing into the sea hike a ferret slipped into a warren, drove passionately towards Toulon. The keenness and ecstasy of Cyri…

The maiden rejoices: The man is grown mad For love, and his choice is The choice of a lad When a virgin first smiles on his suit, and the summer for envy is sad.

The many-coloured throne Of Grecian meadows hath nor charm nor lure Now she is gone. Lamenting and alone My dulled heart aches, most that it must endure. Give this decree, O masters!

Thou, thereforego on, go on in my strength, saith the Lord of the Aeon, and ye shall turn not back for any. While he thus spoke, I felt constantly in myself a cleansing of heart; and my stature was increased, because of the straightening of my nature.

…en still. This is only a book of fairy tales. But thank God! there are still some fairies. There are still a few people in the world who love beauty, and who are willing to fight for freedom. To read the newspapers, one would suppose that freedom was dead for ever. But with whatever bonds they will bind liberty, there will always be a few like Padraic Colum to keep Her torch alight. We may not be allowed to speak or write what we think, but life will always live in fairyland, and an hour cometh when the doors of fairyland will open, and the iro…

Dante tells us how the lover kissed the trembling mouth, and with the same thrill describes his own passionate abandonment before the mystic Rose.
