Let Orpheus journey forth to see The Disk in peace and victory! Let him adore the splendid sight, The radiance of the Heaven of Nu; Soar like a bird, laved by the light, To pierce the far eternal blue ! Hail!

…leep. Allow For me, the silence and the night 3 Life, peace ; and death, a welcome wight. SAID. THE spears of the night at her onset Are lords of the day for a while, The magical green of the sunset, The magical blue of the Nile. Afloat are the gales In our slumberous sails On the beautiful breast of the Nile. We have swooned through the midday, ex- hausted By the lips—they are whips—of the sun, The horizon befogged and befrosted By the haze and the greys and the dun Of the whirlings of sand Let loose on the land By the wind that is born of the…

I conquered self; I grew at last A prophet chosen of the Lord ; I blew the trumpet’s iron blast That called on Zimri Omri’s sword; My voice inflamed the fiery steel That was to smite upon Jezreel. And now, I haste from yonder sands, With fervour filled, to say God’s doom To Ahab of the bloody hands, The spoiler of his father’s tomb, The slayer of the vineyard king. God’s judgment, and his fate, I bring. The city gleams afar; I see Samaria’s white walls on high ; The…

Behold a maiden pale as death, Whose glance is silver as a sword, And flowers of Kedar fill her breath, Whose fragrance saturates the sward, Whose sunny perfume floating saith : From my ineffable desire is drawn The awful glory of the golden dawn. Behold her bosom bare and bold Whose billows like the ocean swing ! The painted palaces of gold Where shell-born maidens laugh and sing Are mirrored in those …

THE world is dusk, expectant of its doom. l‘oulness is rampant ; purity is dumb; Despair stalks terrible. But I am come, God-nurtured, in the void abyss of gloom ; The Spirit of my God is set on me; He hath anointed me to preach glad news Unto the meek ; the broken heart to loose, To utter to the captive liberty, The prison’s opening to all the boun…

Let the smoke Of this divinest incense be a smell Sweet to thy nostrils! For three times I cast Its faint dust in the tripod, and three times The smoke of adoration has gone up To greet our gods; for the old gods are dead.” Then there came forth a leper in the hall, In the most holy temple. So amazed All shrank. And he made prophecy and said: ‘The child that shall be born of thee is called Fe…

ANIMA LUNAE 39 And all the palace drowsed away The hours that fanned with silken fold ‘The progress of the Lord of Day. Yet, as he slept, a grey Shadow of dream drew near, and stooped And glided through the ranks of slaves, Leaving no shadow where they drooped, No echo in the architraves As silent as the grave’s. That shape vibrated to the tune Of thought lulled low; the stirless swoon Half felt its fellow gather close, Yet stirred not: now the intruder moves, Turns the tune slowlier to grave rows Of palm trees, losing life in loves Less turbid…
