26 THE MOTHER'S TRAGEDY This tragedy is terrible to me. Even I, its spirit, shudder as I see; I, passionless, the moulder of men’s hope, The slayer of them, cast no horoscope Divining what befell, And I am moved: Both love, and both are worthy to be loved. Ah Fate! if thou hadst cast the dies Whence no appeal, in any other wise! I am the soul of the grim face of things; Mine are the Sphinx’s wings; Mine own life lives with this event!

His hunger for the Infinite was so acute and so persistent that nothing earthly could content him even for a moment. He even made the mistakeif it be, after all, a mis- take!of feeding on poison because he recog- nized the banality of food; of experimenting with death because he had tried life, and found it fail him. The thought of Baudelaire has thus been universa…

Ah, my God ! These pangs, these torments ! See ! the sleeper wakes ! I am triumphant ! For he reaches out The sleepy arms, and turns the drowsy head To catch the dew dissolving of my lip. Wake, lover, wake ! Thy Venus waits for thee ! Draw back, look, hunger !—and thy mouth is mine G 49

She comes! she comes! ‘The spirit glances In quick delight to hold her kiss ; The fuming air shimmers and dances ; The moonlight’s trembling ecstasies Swoon ; and her soul, as my soul, trances, Knowing no longer aught that is ; Only united, moving, mixed, A music infinitely fixed.
