Стр. 145 - Nay, never falter: no great deed is done By falterers who ask for certainty. No good is certain, but the steadfast mind, The -undivided will to seek the good: 'Tis that compels the elements, and wrings A human music from the indifferent air.
Стр. 73 - Float, 0 song, Down the westward river, Requiem chanting to the Day — Day, the mighty Giver. Pierced by shafts of Time he bleeds, Melted rubies sending Through the river and the sky, Earth and heaven blending; All the long-drawn earthy banks Up to cloud-land lifting : Slow between them drifts the swan, 'Twixt two heavens drifting.
Стр. 132 - Oh, it is a faith Taught by no priest, but by their beating hearts. Faith to each other : the fidelity Of fellow-wanderers in a desert place Who share the same dire thirst, and therefore share The scanty water...
Стр. 17 - Amid the groves, beneath the shadowy hills, The generations are prepared ; the pangs, The internal pangs are ready ; the dread strife Of poor humanity's afflicted will Struggling in vain with ruthless destiny.
Стр. 85 - That moves within our frame like God in worlds — Convulsing, urging, melting, withering — Imprint no record, leave no documents, Of her great history ? Shall men bequeath The fancies of their palate to their sons, And shall the shudder of restraining awe, The slow-wept tears of contrite memory, Faith's prayerful labour, and the food divine Of fasts ecstatic — shall these pass away Like wind upon the waters, tracklessly...
Стр. 20 - sanction ' but this inward impulse. The will of God is the same thing as the will of other men, compelling us to work and avoid what they have seen to be harmful to social existence. Disjoined from any perceived good, the divine will is simply so much as we have ascertained of the facts of existence which compel obedience at our peril. Any other notion comes from the supposition of arbitrary revelation. " That favourite view, expressed so often in Clough's poems, of doing duty in blindness as to...
Стр. 17 - I required the opposition of race to give the need for renouncing the expectation of marriage. I could not use the Jews or the Moors, because the facts of their history were too conspicuously opposed to the working out of my catastrophe. Meanwhile the subject had become more and more pregnant to me. I saw it might be taken as a symbol of the part which is played in the general human lot by hereditary conditions in the largest sense, and of the fact that what we call duty is entirely made up of such...
Стр. 224 - You love the roses — so do I. I wish The sky would rain down roses, as they rain From off the shaken bush. Why will it not ? Then all the valley would be pink and white And soft to tread on. They would fall as light As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be Like sleeping and yet waking, all at once! Over the sea, Queen, where we soon shall go, Will it rain roses ? FEDALMA No, my prattler, no! It never will rain roses: when we want To have more roses we must plant more trees.
Стр. 78 - A spirit framed Too proudly special for obedience, Too subtly pondering for mastery : Born of a goddess with a mortal sire, Heir of flesh-fettered, weak divinity, Doom-gifted with long resonant consciousness And perilous heightening of the sentient soul.
Стр. 182 - Two angels guide The path of man, both aged and yet young, As angels are, ripening through endless years. On one he leans : some call her Memory, And some, Tradition ; and her voice is sweet, With deep mysterious accords : the other, Floating above, holds down a lamp which streams A light divine and searching on the earth, Compelling eyes and footsteps. Memory yields, Yet clings with loving check, and shines anew Reflecting all the rays of that bright lamp Our angel Reason holds. We had not walked...
