And this is the wrath of God, that these things should be thus. 18. And this is the grace of God, that these things should be thus. 19.

…en Wakes life to the shape ofan exquisite dream 3 And reason of passion asks pardon. I made up a posy by moonlight, a rose, And a violet white from its cranny, And a bluebell, and stole, on the tips of my toes, At the dark of the night to my Annie. Her window was open ; she slept like a child; So I laid the three flowers on her breast, And stole back alone through the forest deep- aisled, To dream of the lass I loved best. And the next night I lay half awake on my bed, When—a foot-fall as soft as the breeze ! Oh ! never a word nor a whisper she…

…ark Of the world of fire, that swings Gates of adamant below Lofty minarets of snow. Thence the towering flames arise, Where the flashes white and wise Find their mortal foe. Let us thither, caring not Anything, or any more, Since the sorrow of our lot Craves to pass the abysmal door. Never more for us shall twine Rosy fingers on the vine. Never maiden lips shall cull Myriad blossoms beautiful.

They twist, they twine, these white and black canals, Now stark with lamplight, now a reach of Styx. Even as our love—raging wild animals Suddenly hoisted on the crucifix To radiate seraphic coronals, Flowers, flowers—O let our light and darkness mix, Adela, Goddess and beast with me in the gondola!

You were not like that when you were house-surgeon under L——, not so long ago, either. I remem- ber that it was you who helped him in major operations.—There, if you like, was a man who loved cutting, trimming and lopping! It was you who looked after his instruments, his thread and his sponges, and the operation completed, how proudly he would say, looking at his watch, ‘Five minutes, gentlemen.’ O…
