Mortadello

I don’t care that [she makes a gesture of contempt] for all the favour of the mob. Your friends have real power ; mine’s but the power of storm. It’s over in an hour ; your sun is always warm. MORTADELLO. If it were so, I think you would not be so frank. MONICA. Yes, but I shall not sink ; you make a perfect plank. This hour is mine ; and this shall breed …

This occurs to most, perhaps to all, of us in our careers. We spend infinite pains to learn something, to achieve something, which when gained does not seem worth even the utterance of the wish. But this is a wrong view to take. The discipHne necessary in order to learn Latin will stand us in good stead when we wish to do something quite different. At school our masters punished us…

…y closed. I slept. At dawn, I woke refreshed, had breakfast in a cabin hard by and wandered back to the railway. I had had a perfect holiday from the Spirit of America! The fresh morning air became articulate and whispered a sound in my ear. Hear it is: AT BIG TREES, SANTA CRUZ Night fell. I travelled through the cloven chasm ....To where the redwood's cloistered giant grove ....Sprung gothic and priapic; wonder wove God's glory, gathered in the Titan spasm Nature's parturient anguish.

… be expunged from human language. People should be prose- cuted for printing so foul and obscene a phrase. Yet these things happen every day. The sun turns sick in heaven to behold them. Yet we do not see his anguish. Life which involves such possibilities of infamy and horror as ‘marriage with a Canadian’ must surely be some atrocious species of damnation; the reward of infinite iniquity. But humanity has become so callous, so anzsthetic to any proper feeling, that many people may even fail to see the high seriousness and noble purpose of such…

And now I live in Him ; my heart may trace the years In drops of virginal blood and springs of virginal tears. I love you now again with an undivided song. Because I can never love you, I cannot do you wrong. I saw in your dying embraces the birth of a new embrace ; In the tears of your pitiful faces, another Holier Face. Unknowing it, undesiring, your lips have led me higher ; You have taught me purer so…

Now snap my spine: Surely you know the trick — when from your lips I see a thin chill stream of stark black blood Trickling, the stream ofhate that glows and grips My lesser life within its sickening flood.

So by ten days and fifty days and two hundred days and yet ten days he went forth. After ten days fell a thunderbolt, whirling through black clouds of rain: after sixty the road split in two, but he travelled on both at once: after two hundred and sixty, the sun drove away the rain, and the Star shone in the day-time, making it night. After the last day came his Mother, his Redeemer, and Himself; and joining together th…
