32 SONGS OF THE SPIRIT Now backwards, inwards still my mind Must track the intangible and blind, And seeking, shall securely find Hidden in secret places Fresh feasts for every soul that strives, New life for many mystic lives, and strange new forms and faces. My mind still searches, and attains By many days and many pains To That which Is and Was and reigns Shadowed in four and ten,! And loses self in sacred lands, And cries and quickens, and understands Beyond the first Amen.” THE ALCHEMIST. THIS POEM WAS INTENDED AS THE PRO- LOGUE ‘YO A PLAY…

He shall know me eternally wedded To the splendid and subtle of mind ; For thee pious, the arrogant-headed, He shall know they nor seek me nor find. O afloat in me curled ! Cry aloud to the world That I and my kisses are kind ! O lover ! O poet ! O maiden To me in my magical way ! Be thy songs with the wilderness laden ! Thy lyre be adrift and astray : So to me thou shalt cling ! So to me thou shalt sing Of the beautiful law of the day !

…the world understood Ye would see it was good, A dance to a delicate measure. Ye fools, interweaving in passion The lyrical light of the mind ! Go on, in your drivelling fashion ! Ye shall surely seek long and not find. From without ye may see All the beauty of me, And my lips, that their kisses are kind. For Eurydice once I lamented ; For Orpheus I do not lament : Her days were a span, and demented ; His days are for aye, and content. Mere love is as nought To the love that is Thought, And idea is more than event. O lovers! O poets! O masters …

Rather give place to those untroubled thoughts That sit like stars immobile in the sky To fathom all the desolate winds of ocean, And draw their secrets from the hidden mines Whose gold and silver are but wisdom, seeking Rather things incorruptible above Than sordid hopes and fears.

More ignorant than Anna Kingsford, though, for- tunately, more moral, he connected it with the story of the “ Annuncia- tion,” which he had undoubtedly heard in his boyhood, and said “Gabriel appeared to me.” But in spite of his ignorance, his total mis- conception of the truth, the power of the vision was such that he was C

…h is a lovely word, and may or may not be found in your dictionary, is an exceedingly common complaint. It means the splitting up of the mind. In extreme cases we get the phenomena of multiple personality, Jekyll and Hyde, only more so. At the best, when a man says 'I' he refers only to a transitory phenomenon. His 'I' changes as he utters the word. Butphilosophy apartit is rarer and rarer to find a man with a mind of his own and a will of his own, even in this modified sense.
