I sis am I, and from my life are fed All showers and suns, all moons that wax and wane, All stars and streams, the living and the dead. The mystery of pleasure and of pain. 27

My love, arise ! See the grave avenues of Paradise, The dewy larches bending at my breath, Portentous cedars prophesying death ! See the long vistas and the dancing sea, The measured motion of fecundity ! Bright winds set swaying the soft-sounding flowers (Here flowers have music) in my woven bowers, Where sweet birds blossom, and in chorus quire The rapt beginni…

…d day, but no deed. Such a sense is up and within me, A tongue as of mystical fire ! Love, beauty, and holiness win me To the end of the great desire, Where I cease from the thirst and the labour, As the land that no ploughman tills Lest the robber his neighbour unloosen the sabre From holds in the hills. From love of my life and its burden Set free in the silence remote, Grows a sorrow divine for my guerdon, A peace in my struggling note. Compassion for earth far extended Beneath me, the swords and the rods, My spirit hath bended, bowed me and…

O heavy load! O bitter harvest of rich-rolling tears ! What cry who hears? A shrill shrill cry to father Zeus cried she, Forlorn Persephone ! Heard was that agony of grief by none Save only by the Sun, And Her who sat within her awful cave, Contemplative and grave, Hecate, veiléd with a shining veil Utterly…
…oisonous toad That darts an angry red from out its eye, By sword and spear, by maze and mystery, By Zeus high house, and by his godhead great, By his own soul, no ardour to abate Until he freed Archais.

…n deadly sicknesses. With hardly a week of even tolerable health in any year, he had done work that might have frightened the staff of a great University. Almost single-handed, he had explored the inmost doctrine of the Buddha, and thrown light on many a tangled grove of thought. He had reorganized Buddhism as a missionary religion, and founded societies everywhere to study and practise it. He had even found time and strength, amid these labours, to pursue his own hobby of electrical research. Misunderstood, thwarted, hampered in every way, he …

Earth knows her daring daughter, and the sea Breaks into million-folded mystery Of flower-like flashes in the pale moon- rise, Exulting also, now the sun is faded, With joy of her supreme ferti…

…w; For when his Countess coughed or sneezed, “ Obsessed! ” the poor old fellow wheezed. He sought the Mighty Powers of Good, Invoked the Great White Brotherhood. Like smart and punctual business men, They sent a man round there and then. How gladly reverent doth he greet The sage’s venerable feet! But in a while suspicion grows. “ This fellow, now, by Jove, who knows? Perhaps he too is in the Plot. 1 like Scotch \Vhisky: he does not. He prefers Job to Second Kings. We disagree on many things.” He sniffed around the Adept (who lay low). He searc…
…t is my bulk, the mass of my intent, That makes the ruin abject. I had sung Some partial earthquake ; here the universe Crashes with one great curse, Whelming the singer and the song. My tongue Is palsied ; only this chaotic clash Of curses echoes the dire crash. And after all the roar, there steals a strain At last of tuneless, infinite pain ; And all my being is one throb Of anguish, and one inarticulate sob Catches my throat. All these vain voices die, And all these thunders venomously hurled Stop. My head strikes the floor ; one cry, the ol…

Like the moon-plumes of a strange bird By a great wind sublimely stirred, Thou drawest the light of all the skies Into thy wake. The heaven dies In bubbling froth of light, that foams About thine ardour. All the domes Of all the heavens close above thee As thou art known of me who love thee. Excellent kiss, thou fastenest on This soul of mine, that it is gone, Gone from all life, and rapt away Into the infinite starry spray Of thine own AZon. . . . Alas…

…ty-three ; I lie not to myself ; Else one sins lying ; this is virtue mixed, A bubbling draught that soon lies still and flat ; While my great lust runs deep and dark, nor changes For all that time can do. What of this boy ? I knew his father ; the man feared me well For all his open laugher ; would he were Alive ! I dream one torture writhed about His heart he’ll miss in hell. I hated him. This boy of his I saw but yesterday Ride barehead by me like a madman would, Is strong and well-set — aye ! desirable. I would be better of his virgin lips …
