…ascinate and cleave to me and cling. Then in their uttermost profound I saw The veil of Love’s unalterable law Lifted, and in the shadow far behind Dim and divine, within the shadow blind My own love’s face most amorously draw Out of the deep toward my cloudy mind. O suddenly I felt a kiss enclose My whole live body, as a rich red rose Folding its sweetness round the honey-bee ! I felt a perfect soul embracing me, And in my spirit like a river flows A passion like the passion of the sea. IT. Hk did not kiss me with his mouth ; his eyes Kissed m…

…he brim Wherein all stars and suns may dance. I am the beautiful and glad, Rejoicing in the golden day. I am the spirit silken-clad That fareth on the fiery way. I have escaped from Him, whose eyes Are closed at eventide, and wise To drag thee to the House of Wrong :— Iam armed! Iam armed! I am strong! I am strong ! I make my way: opposing horns Of secret foemen push their lust In vain: my song their fury scorns ; They sink, they grovel in the dust. Hail, self-created Lord of Night! Inscrutable and infinite ! Let Orpheus journey forth to see Th…

…e? Thou art a Dian, crescent o’er the sea That beats sonorous on the craggy shore, Or shakes the frail earth-dyke. So calm and still and far, that never more Thy silken song shall quiver through the land ; Only by coral isle, by lonely strand Where no man dwells, thy voice re-wakens wild and grand. Thou art an Aphrodite. From the foam Of golden grape and red thou risest up Immaculate ; thou hast an ebon comb Of shade and silence, and a jasper cup Wherein are mingled all desires. Thine home Is in the forest shade. Thy pale feet kiss the daffodil…

… have tasted once of this In its own lesser way. en years ago I loved a maiden called Elizabeth. A child she was, so delicate and frail, Far, white, and lonely as the coldest star Set beyond gaze of any eye but God’s ; 1 The semi-divine woman, between Aphro- dite the divine, and Eve the human. 2 Persephone was compelled to spend six months of the year in Hades. And, to forget her, found due somnolence In such a warm brown bosom as thine own Is fire and amber. Then I came away :— I heard of knights no better horsed than I, No better sworded, wit…

I2 ORACLES Far from sun, sea, and spring, from love or light, Imbedded in impenetrable night ; Deeper than ocean, higher than the sky, Vaster than petty loves that dream and die, Insatiate, angry, terrible for lust, Who shrivel God to adamantine dust By our fierce gaze upon him, who would strive Under our wrath, to flee away, to dive Into the deep recesses of his heaven. But we, one joy, one love, one shame for leaven, Quit hope and life, quit fear and death and love, Implacable as God, desired above All loves of hell or heaven, supremely wed, …

…d in Character. The Three of Cups is called the Lord of Abundance. The idea of love has come to frui‐ tion; but this is now sufficiently far down the Tree to introduce a very definite differentiation between the suits, which was not previously possible. The idea of division, of mutability, the idea of the airy quality of things, manifests itself in the Three of Swords, the Lord of Sorrow. Here one is reminded of the darkness of Binah, of the mourning of Isis; but this is not any vulgar sorrow dependent upon any individual disap‐ pointment or di…

…ublisher, but I think Judas was. j.c. A Cuaste Man. By Louis Umrravitte Witxinson. Alfred A. Knopf. Ir has often been disputed as to how far a novelist is right in showing us the seamy side of life. But the answer admits of no dispute. Truth is the most pre- cious jewel of all. The atmosphere of Mr. Wilkinson’s new book, despite the brightness and insouciance of the manner and the lightness of the incident, is one of the most tragic gloom. The scene opens upon the hero reminding somebody that this is the third application, etc., and unless, etc…

O the interminable tune Of whispered kisses! Love exults, Intolerant of all else than he, And ecstasy invades, insults, Outshines the waves of harmony, Lapped in the sun of day ; the tides Of wonder flow, the shore subsides ; And over all the horizon Glows the last glimmer of the sun. Ah ! when the moon arises, she Sh…

…dha-figures in particular, what are we to say of the marvellous spirituality of expression often attributed to them? It is to me, I own, far from apparent. The drooped eyelids, and the immobile pose do, indeed, express the idea of contemplation; but I am at a loss to find anything spiri- tual in the smooth, insipid faces.” Pig-mindedness can hardly go further. And yet— “In the Indian epics, the poets are always trying to outdo themselves and each other in their search for the marvellous, whether in virtue, prowess, gorgeousness, wickedness, dem…

In the earliest stages of all it is not necessary to have got very far with Asana, because all you can get out of the early practices is really a foreshadowing of the difficulties of doing it. 18.

…he was not, and the piercing Name Of love struck through him, ull his tortured mind Drove his young limbs, the wolf that hunts the hind, Far through the forest. Lastly sleep, like death, With strong compulsion of his labouring breath Came on him dreamless. When he woke, the day Stooped toward the splendour of the western bay, And he remembered. Like a wild bird's cry The song within him flamed, a melody Dreadful and beautiful. The sad sca heard And echoed over earth its bitter word. SONG.

Full of black joys and shadowy unspoken fears, Whercin I am master. There is no place for tears. Cold adamant disaster Is lord there, and I overlord.

THE FAREWELL OF PARACELSUS TO APRILE 41 But oh! this desert is a weary land ! Poisons alone their prickly heads lift high ; The sun, a vlobe of fury, still doth stand In the dark basin of the burning sky. There is no water, no, nor herb, and I laint at his anger who compels the herd To fall upon the waste, so fierce and dry That none may pass it, not the very bird. Throughout the vast expanse no single sound is heard. Only the moaning of the dying ox, And my parched cry for water from cracked lips ; In vain the stern impenctrable rocks Mock my …

THE FAREWELL OF PARACELSUS TO APRILE 39 ‘©Within my heart one slow sweet whisper stole Consuming and destroying all my soul Lest, if the pure cold mind should conquer it, TI might not know, although it still were sweet. ‘‘My pure desires arose and cast out love That flew away, most like a wounded dove, Only the drops were mine its bosom bled. Now the last time it hovers by my head: ‘* Now the last time I turn and go to her.”’ The violet smiled at him; his fingers fair Plucked the sweet blossom to his breast; his eyes. Mused like delight, and li…
