Christ is the holy pattern and the way ; He is the everlasting inner light : Oh , wonderful His guidance in the day , And beautiful His presence in the night . Lazarillo . The night ? Lazarus .

For though His Words be many, yet is His Word One, One and Alone; and by this Word he createth Man anew, in an essential Form of Life, so that he is changed in his inmost Knowledge of himself. And this Change worketh outwards, little by little, unto its visible Effect. n

… alas !—Vurydice ! (He zs torn to pieces. A faint voice—like his—is still heard, ever receding andfailing.) O night |! Fade, love! Fade, light! I pass beyond Life’s law. I melt as snow; as ice I thaw; As mist I dissipate: I am borne, I draw Through chasms in the mountains: stormy gusts Ofancient sorrows and forgotten lusts Bear me along : they touch me not: I waste The memory of long lives interlaced Fades in my fading. I disintegrate, Fall into black oblivion of Fate. My being divides : I have forgot my name. I am blown out as a thin subtle fl…

…oving come over the starry spheres. Wrapped in rose, green, and gold, Blues many and manifold, Α cloud of incense hides thy splendour of light; Hides from the prayer’s distress Thy loftier loveliness, Till thy veil’s glory shrouds the earth from night; And silence speaks indeed, Seeing the subtler speed Of its own thought than speech of the Pandean reed !

…adness. PROPHET. Ha! The rose has washed its petals, and the blood Pours through its burning centre from my heart. The fire consumes the light; and rosy flame Leaps through the veins of blue, and tinges them With such a purple as incarnadines The western sky when storms are amorous And lie upon the breast of toiling ocean, Such billows to beget as earth devours | In ravening whirlpool guiphs.

The Mother’s Tragedy

…truggle and renew The utter bliss of the unending kiss, The mutual pang that shudders through and through, Repeated and repeated, as the light Can build a partial palace of the day, So, in our anguish for the infinite, One moment gives, the other takes away. I, the mere rhymer, she, the queen of rhyme, As sweeps her sickle in the falling wheat, Her body’s sleek intoxicating time, The music of the motion of her feet. I swoon in that imperial embrace— Lay we asleep till evening, or dead ? I knew not, but the wonder of her face Grew as the dawn an…

…elease. All things escape me, all repine, all alter, ruin, cease. II But thou, O Lord, O Apollo, Must thou utterly change and pass ? Thy light be lost in the hollow ? Thy face as a maid’s in a glass Go out and be lost and be broken As the face of the maid is withdrawn, And thy people with sorrow unspoken Wait, wait for the dawn ? But thou, O Diana, our Lady, Shall it be as if never had been ?
