Misrress, I pray thee, when the wind Exults upon the roaring sea, Come to my bosom, kissed and kind And sleep upon the lips of me! Dream on my breast of quiet days, Kindled of slow absorbing fire !

LOVE-SONGS 63 Closer and closer through the dusk of sense Avails the monotone omnipotence. Steady, in one crescent tune, Rises the virgin moon 3 And from the depth of eyes flooded with love Shines ecstasy thereof. Words pass and are not heard. The ear, awake Only for its master’s individual sake, Strains only for three whispered songs, Hears naught beside, interprets silence so, Till liquid melodies of music flow “T love you.” We afford to wait; who longs That knows ? is full. And we know; for the moon Steals in the ambient aura of delight That…

Then on the night began the awful gale That did assume a voice Whereat the air was peopled with such forms As ride abroad upon the path of storms, And in the awe rejoice. They gather, chanting, round that noble head. The master of the prisons of the dead Loosens the bonds and bids the furies spring For their last struggle ere the…

…ws of nature were not made by man, nor can they be set aside by man; they were not made at all. There are no laws of Nature in the usual sense of the word "law"; they are but statements, reduced to a generalized form in accordance with reason, of the facts observed in nature; they are formulae of the inherent properties of substance. It is impossible to evade them, or to suspend them, or to counteract them; for the effort to do so is itself in accordance with those laws themselves, and the compensation, though it be invisible for a time, is adj…

Her highly-coloured nature demanded constant stimulus. She was an emotion-fiend, if one may construct the term by analogy with another branch of pathology. The lovers turned to the left through the village; in a few minutes the road opened, and they saw the villa before them. It stood on a spur of rock, separated from the main hill by a sharply-cut chasm. This was spanned by an old…

Away with our moral Monkey Brand and our ethical Sapolio, and back to a little genuine common-sense elbow-grease, When a girl ceases sowing her “ wild oats” and can enter any phase of life without being spat upon and “ chucked out,” degradation will cease. And when such women as are Jorn prostitutes are utilized by the State for the benefit of men who are not monogamists by nature, procuring will vanish. But, if these women be so used, it behoves the nation to care for these talented girls, just as she…
