…ve where, to sentinel my station, Gold lilies bowed in adoration. Had I not feared to move, I might Have hid my shame from such a night! Man is not worthy to intrude His soullessness on solitude; Yet God hath made it to befriend Pilgrims, that His peace may pend, A dove upon the dire and dark Waters that assail the ark, And lure their less love to His own. Life is a song, a speech, a groan, As may be; none of these have part In the silence of His heart. Lapsed in that unweanéd air, I awaited, unaware, What might fall. The silence wrapped Veil o…

…under the guidance, of some creative mind. There is a tendency to be fickle, even disloyal; the ideas which she obeys make no deep or permanent impression. She will “cleave to the little boy and let go the man of age and experience” or the reverse (lines 2 and 3) without realizing what she is doing. There is liability of fits of melancholy, which she seeks to cure by bouts of intoxication, or by panic‐stricken outbursts of ill‐considered fury.

…s like lawn tennis, which was originally the very incarnation of social amenity. It is the same story everywhere; see boxing, in which a man may get more for half an hour's battery than any dozen university professors receive for a lifetime of devoted labour on behalf of the race. The root of the mischief is the spirit of taking life too seriously. It is really almost expected of the man who happens to run over to Philadelphia from New York {293} for a day, that he should forthwith write an encyclopaedic history of the Quakers. It is hard to pr…

…e mysterious mutterings. One brilliant boy wrote in Poetry and Drama as follows: Creation and destruction of gods has been for centuries mankind's favourite religious mania and philosophical exercise. The Book of Lies is a witty, instructive and wholly admirable collection of paradoxes, in themselves contradictory, summing up and illustrating various experiments in god- making. Frater Perdurabo, however, has not written a philosophical or mystical treatise; on the contrary, his book leaves one with a feeling of intense exhilaration and clearhea…

In the brave old days ere men began To bind young hearts with an iron tether, Ere love was brief as life, a span, Ere love was light as life, a feather, Earth was free as the glad wild weather, God was father and friend to man.

Sparrows and doves in chariot diamonded Drawn through the midmost air ! O Lady of despair, Who bound the golden helmet of Thy head ? Whose voice rings out the pitiful low tones : "Who, who hath wronged thee? And my power atones.

Thou hast robbed me of this kingdom. Thou hast kept My father (poor half-witted man!) a slave And parasite about thy court (one grief The more I add to this account of thine!) Myself a babe thou didst seek out to slay, And, I being hid, with fish-hooks bent with lies And gilded with most specious promises, Cunningly angled for old Chiron’s grace To catch me yet.

As a witty Irishman remarks, “ There is only one argument that will convince a woman — the argument in a circle.” 7. A very profound allegory. Laila being the Jinn, this passage means that since the revelation of the Method of true communion between man and God, magic or dealing with Jinn should be left to Jews (and other heathen), stigmatized as goat- faced because of their materialistic or gross views of the universe.

Monstrous conjunctions with black man and brute Level our ladies with the prostitute : Our spinsters chaste in criminal abortion, And matrons with the pox for marriage portion ; Husbands who pimp all day for their young wives, Athletes from Oxford, pathic all their lives, Who sport the “ so ” coat, the sotadic necktie, And lisp their filthy pun “ Mens conscia recti ” !

TWO things I ask of you , and they are these, When all my little deeds and I are dead , And life's last wave has gathered o'er my head , Forget me, as you would forget the breeze That sudden stirs at nightfall in the trees And with the first bright peep of stars is Aled.

XXXVI THE DESIRE OF PAINTING UNHAPPY perhaps is the man, but happy is the artist whom desire tears in pieces. I am on fire to paint her who appeared to me so rarely and who fled so quickly, like a beautiful, regrettable thing which the traveller, borne away into the night, leaves behind him. How long it is since she disappeared. She is beautiful, and more than beautiful. She is surprising. In her black abounds, and every thought that she inspires is of night and the abyss. Her eyes are two caverns where mystery sparkles vaguely, and her glance …

I bend my head to kiss the brow, Scarred and serene and wide, The bosom and the loin-cloth now And where the blood has dried, The blood whose purple tide doth flow From out the smitten side. The fragrance of his skin begets Desire of holy things ; Through the dim air a spirit frets His closcly woven wings; Like love, upon my brow he sets The crowns of many kings.
