… be a King, thou canst not hurt him. 60. Therefore strike hard and low, and to hell with them, master! 61. There is a light before thine eyes, Ο prophet, a light undesired, most desirable. 20
…elicious rose Lying asleep, a-dreaming, white of brow, Stainless and splendid. Yea, and fair enow To tempt the lips of Death to kiss her eyes And bid her waken in the sad surprise Of seeing round her the iron gates of hell In gloomy strength : so sweet, so terrible, So fair, her image in the brook might make A passionless old god his hunger slake By plunging in the waters, though he knew His drowning body drowned her image too. Yet she seemed gentle. Never thorn assailed The tender finger that would touch, nor failed The strong desire of Zeus, …
…just his pennies in the slot of the Automatic Girl. V Ye clerks, who get a sudden rise, be chary of your cash ! Societys and Beautys eyes say Cut a deadly dash ! O no ! Avoid Miss Marie Lloyd, the dunces giddy whirl, But put your pennies in the slot of the Automatic Girl ! VI Ye cabmen wights so late onights that get upon the stand, O let alone the reins you own ! Refrain the shame- ful hand ! This fare you get youll not regret, she will not make you curl ! So put your pennies in the slot of the Automatic- Girl. VII The young and old…
…stay? Arise, O Queen, O Queen of Night ! Arise, and leave the little day! XXXII. Lapy, awake the dread abyss Of knowledge in impassioned eyes ! Fathom the gulfs of awful bliss With the poised plummet of a kiss ! Love hath the arcanum of the wise ; Love is the elixir, love the stone ; The rosy tincture shall arise Out of its shadowy cadences. Love is the Work, and love alone Rewards the ingenious alchemist. Chaste fervours chastely overthrown Awake the infinite monotone. So, Lady, if thy lips I kissed ; So, lady, if in eyes of steel I read the s…
… magic amethyst Built it; the incense burns alway; So the light steam upon it lay. There thou art dwelling. I am ware The music of thine eyes and hair Calls to the wind to chase our ship Faster toward ; the waters slip Smoothly and swift beneath the keel. The pulses of the vessel feel I draw toward thee ; now the sails Hang id‘y, for the golden gales Drop as the vessel grates the sand. Come, thou true love, and hold my hand. I tremble (for my love) to land. I feel thy arms around me steal; Thy breath upon my cheeks I feel; Thy lips draw out to …
…ents, wrap his bosom round With your entangling leprosy ! And me, Let me assume the beloved limber shape. The crested head, the jewelled eyes of death, And sinuous sinewy glitter of serpenthood, That I may look once more into his face. And, kissing, kill him ! Thus to hold him fast, Drawing his human spirit into mine For strength, for life, for poison ! 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, …
62 INVOCATION That even the secret pillar in the midst May be made manifest to mortal eyes. Behold upon my right hand and my left The mighty pillars of amazing fire, And terrible cloud. Their tops in Heaven are veiled, Whereon the everlasting lamps rejoice. Their pedestals upon the Universe Are set in rolling clouds, in thunder-gusts, In vivid flame, and tempest : but to me, Balanced between them, burns the holy light Veilless, one liquid wheel of sacred fire, Whirling immutably within itself And formulating in the splendid sun Of its white moo…
…you fooled the lot of us Your spell is cracked within the ring ! Behold How Christ with clay worth more than any gold Cleared the mans eyes ! So the blind amorous Is blinded with the horror of the truth He sees this moment. Foolish prostitute ! 2 S
…And infinite dreams, and stars that roam, And comets moving through the deep Unfathomable skies, Darker for moonlight, and the glow-worm eyes Of dusky women that were stars, And paler curves of the immutable bars That line the universe with light, Great eagle-flights of mystic moons That dip, while the dull midnight swoons About the skirts of Night : These bowed and shaped themselves and said : It shall be thus ! And the intolerable luminous Death that is god bent down his head And answered : Thus, immutably, Above all days and deeds, shall…
…lk :— Though you could handle rod, and master bait. “ Now all is changed. Offended Crowley cries Upon your shoulderi All's red nose, wet eyes. You shall be Mary now as well as Martha! The mystic quest is yours as well as mine, Dilucid: sacramentally, in fine, Victoria loved Albert: I love Arthur.” I shall now draw the Veil of Sanctimoniosity upon this touching scene. A. QUILLER, JR. 242

…antchester ! ah, Grantchester ! There 's peace and holy quiet there , Great clouds along pacific skies , And men and women with straight eyes , 28
… yesterday, for aye! she glows No woman of my mystic bed ; A star, far off, forgotten, dead. Only to me looks out for ever From her cold eyes a fire like death ; Only to me her breasts can never Lose the red brand that quickeneth ; Only to me her eyelids sever And lips respire her equal breath; Still in the unknown star I see The very god that is of me. The day’s pale countenance is lifted, The rude sun’s forehead he uncovers; No soft delicious clouds have drifted, No wing of midnight’s bird that hovers ; Yet still the hard blind blue is.rifted…
…ROSA MUNDI, AND OTHER LOVE-SONGS ITT. THE KISS I BEHOLD in a mist of hair involving Subtle shadows and shapes of ivory beauty. Gray blue eyes from the sphered opal eyelids Look me through and make me a deep con- tentment Slow dissolving desire. We sit so silent Death might sweep over sleep with flowers of cypress - (Gathered myriad blossoms, Proserpina’s), Stir us not, nor a whisper steal through love- trance. Still we sit; and your head lies calm and splendid Shadowed, curve of an arm about it whisper- ing. Still your bosom respires its sighs …
came the greatest of them all[13]. His face was abrupt and vehement; but a veil was woven over it, because of the glory of his eyes, and a thick scarf, like a cloud, held over his mouth, lest the thunder of it destroy men's hearing. This man was so enormous that his stature spanned all heaven; and his creatures, that moved about him, were all godlike — immensely greater than the human. Yet were they human; but so patriarchal, so intense, that they almost overwhelmed Iliel. On him she dared not look. He had the gift of making every thing a thous…
THE EARL’S QUEST I55 Of love—he rode with head deep bowed—too sweet, Too solemn at that moment to respond, Or even to lift his evening eyes to greet The one he knew was nearest—too, too fond ! He dared not—not for his sake but for hers. So he bent down, and passed away beyond In space, in time. [The myriad ministers Of God, seeing her soul, prayed God to send One spirit yet to turn him—subtly stirs The eternal glory of god’s mouth ; “ The end Is not, nor the beginning.” Such the speech Our language fashions down—to comprehend.] The wood broke s…
…rhyme revolves and shrills and drags Their limbs insane they smile and call it love, Or, mocking, call it hatred: it is Fate. These grey eyes close to the deceitful dream Of death that will not take the tired for ever. Again, again, revolves the orb; the stream, The dew, the cloud, the ocean, and the river. My magic wand and cup and sword and spell. Languish, forgotten fears. The cup is filled with tears ; The sword is red with blood ; the pentacle Builded of flesh ; the wand its snake-head rears Swift energy: my labour is but lost. I, who thus…
…er strength alive Laughed in a deep Narcissus dive. I used to poise its light aloft Above Carlotta sleepy-soft. The dusky gold enamoured eyes And bloom of down would harmonize. She used to scold it in pretence Of envy of its excellence. We laughed—but not at the same joke. All girls are blind with their own smoke. A man may come, his lazy day, Cuddle and coo an hour away, Yet in his heart is bound to feel: “ N o woman '5 worth an inch of steel.” Woman has always played the sphinx. An open secretl How the minx Covers her single aim, poor saint! …
…odes of stone, Barren of all comely things, Given to the splendid kings, Gloomy state, and glamour dark, Swooping jewel-feathered wings, Eyes translucent with a spark 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 …
…uch, draw me with thy kiss Into thine own deep bliss, Into thy sleep, thy life, thy imperishable crown ! Let that young godhead in thine eyes Pierce mine, fulfil me of their secrecies, Thy peace, thy purity, thy soul impenetrably wise. II. All things which are complete are solitary ; The circling moon, the inconscient drift of stars, The central systems. Burn they, change they, vary ? Theirs is no motion beyond the eternal bars. Seasons and scars Stain not the planets, the unfathomed home, The spaceless, unformed faces in the dome Brighter and …
