…ntal rage. Is not God part of every the tiniest spark of man ? Is He not moulded also in His Own Eternal Plan ? Even so ; as the woes of earth is the angry crested sea. Even so ; as Her great peace abideth in the deep—so He ! What wreck floats by us ? What pale corpse rolls horribly above, Tossed on the unbewailing foam, cast out of light and life and love ? The sea shall draw thee down, O brother, to her breast of peace, Her unimaginable springs, her bridal secrecies.
…f splintered rock Shall lead the wild chant to the sky, and mock The nectared feast of Gods with its impassioned shock. Deep-mouthed, I, earthquake, wake in echoing thunder. I break my mother’s breast; I tear asunder The womb that bore me ; I arise in terror, Threatening to ruin her, crag, crown, and column, Reverberate music of that mighty and solemn Call of creation, Vulcan’s awful mirror. I rend the sky with clamour terrible, Shaking the thrones of earth and heaven and hell, Confound the universe in universal error. I sound the awful note th…

Ye shall gather goods and store of women and spices; ye shall wear rich jewels; ye shall exceed the nations of earth in splendour and pride; but always in the love of me, and so shall ye come to my joy. I charge you earnestly to come before me in a single robe, and covered with a rich head-dress. I love you! I yearn to you! Pale or purple, veiled or voluptuous, I who am all pleasure and purple, and drunkenness of the innermost sense, desire you. Put on the wings, and arouse the coiled splendour within you: come unto me…

Every other ship’s unsound : We alone are homeward bound. Harnessed to eternity, Life’s sole sanctuary, we Breast alone the winter sea. We shall sight the surging shore, Slack the sail and ship the oar, Hear the anchor rattle and roar. Through the tempest, toward the dark, Ploughs the fate-fulfilling bark, Laden with the sacred ark.

So then I bent mine eyes unto the earth, Andfell upon my knees, and cried for grace, Fearing to gaze upon the royal face. But suddenly there came the sound of mirth Mingled with tears, from that imperial throne, And then a voice: Come, Lord, unto thine own.

Short Commons The heir of ages of wonder, The crown of earth for an hour, The master of tide and thunder Against the juice of a flower? Ay! in the roar and the rattle Of all the armies of sin, This is the only battle He never was known to win. Slave to the thirst—not thirst As here it is weakly written, Not thirst in the brain black-bitten, In the soul more sorely smitten | One dare not think of the worst! Beyond the raging and raving Hell of the physical craving Lies, in the brain benumbed, At the end of time and space, An abyss, unmeasured, u…
…nt _ In one long curve, where folk were making feast. So with no heart to feast, I joined the mirth, Mingled the dances that resound the earth, And laughing looked in every face of guile, And answered fans with quick and subtle smile ; Ten thousand little loves were brought to birth, Ten thousand loves that laughed a little while. No; for one woman did not laugh, too wise, But came so close, and looked within my eyes So deeply that I saw not anything. Only her eyes grew, as a purple ring Shielding the sun, they grew, they uttered lies— They fas…

Have we not brought the leaves dew-diamonded, The buds fresh-gleaming, star-blossoms, and shed Our scent and colour and song around thy sacred head? We that are flowers are kindled in thy praise, Even as thy song shed lustre and swift rays, Darting to brighten and open the folded flowers, The violet lifts its head, the lily lightens, The daisy shakes its dew, the pansy brighten…

…rous throats of majesty, Titanic, in the waking of the world ; Sprang, one vast mass of spume and molten fire, Lava, tremendous waves of earth ; sprang higher Than the seas crest volcano-torn, to be Written in Cyclopean charactery, Hawaii. Here she stands Queen of all laughters lands That dance for dawn, lie tranced in leisured noon, Dreaming through day towards night, Craving the perfumed light Of the stars lustrous, and the gem-born moon. Dewy with clustered diamond, The long land swoons to sleeps : the sea sleeps and yet wakes beyond. Here…

Woe to me who have to sing this thing!

…s carried backwards for some distance, during which time I watched a changing landscape below. Wishing to descend, I dropped towards the Earth, and found body supported by another. When near the ground, skimmed over the earth and eventually came to a dark gateway or tunnel. Walked into this and pro- ceeded, lighted by a silver star on brow, till I arrived at a circular room at the end, lit by one candle placed on a round table at which sat an old white-bearded man writing in a book. I approached him, and said: “Why writest thou, Father?” and he…
