Стр. 40 - When I have seen the hungry ocean gain Advantage on the kingdom of the shore, And the firm soil win of the watery main, Increasing store with loss, and loss with store; When I have seen such interchange of state, Or state itself confounded to decay ; Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate, That Time will come and take my love away. This thought is as a death, which cannot choose But weep to have that which it fears to lose.
Стр. 49 - YES ! hope may with my strong desire keep pace, And I be undeluded, unbetrayed : For if of our affections none find grace In sight of Heaven, then wherefore hath God made The world which we inhabit? Better plea Love cannot have, than, that, in loving thee, Glory to that eternal Peace is paid, Who such divinity to thee imparts As hallows and makes pure all gentle hearts.
Стр. 114 - You see, sweet maid, we marry A gentler scion to the wildest stock, And make conceive a bark of baser kind By bud of nobler race : this is an art Which does mend nature, change it rather, but The art itself is nature.
Стр. 42 - UNDER the arch of Life, where love and death, Terror and mystery, guard her shrine, I saw Beauty enthroned ; and though her gaze struck awe, I drew it in as simply as my breath.
Стр. 21 - Not that fair field Of Enna, where Proserpine gathering flowers, Herself a fairer flower by gloomy Dis Was gathered, which cost Ceres all that pain To seek her through the world...
Стр. 47 - THE HEART OF THE NIGHT From child to youth; from youth to arduous man; From lethargy to fever of the heart; From faithful life to dream-dowered days apart; From trust to doubt; from doubt to brink of ban; — Thus much of change in one swift cycle ran Till now. Alas, the soul ! — how soon must she Accept her primal immortality, — The flesh resume its dust whence it began ? O Lord of work and peace! O Lord of life! O Lord, the awful Lord of will!
Стр. 42 - Adam's first wife, Lilith, it is told (The witch he loved before the gift of Eve,) That, ere the snake's, her sweet tongue could deceive, And her enchanted hair was the first gold. And still she sits, young while the earth is old, And, subtly of herself contemplative, Draws men to watch the bright web she can weave, Till heart and body and life are in its hold.
Стр. 37 - VAIN VIRTUES. WHAT is the sorriest thing that enters Hell ? None of the sins, — but this and that fair deed Which a soul's sin at length could supersede. These yet are virgins, whom death's timely knell Might once have sainted ; whom the fiends compel Together now, in snake-bound shuddering sheaves Of anguish, while the pit's pollution leaves Their refuse maidenhood abominable. Night sucks them down, the tribute of the pit, Whose names, half entered in the book of Life, Were God's desire at noon.
Стр. 38 - The lost days of my life until to-day, What were they ? Could I see them on the street Lie as they fell ? Would they be ears of wheat Sown once for food, but trodden into clay? Or golden coins squandered and still to pay? Or drops of blood dabbling the guilty feet ? Or such spilt water as in dreams must cheat The undying throats of Hell — athirst alway ? I do not see them here ; but after death God knows I know the faces I shall see...
Стр. 47 - The sky leans dumb on the sea, Aweary with all its wings ; And oh ! the song the sea sings Is dark everlastingly. Our past is clean forgot, Our present is and is not, Our future's a sealed seedplot, And what betwixt them are we ? — We who say as we go, — DOWN STREAM.
