Sivu 37 - I TOOK a hansom on to-day For a round I used to know — That I used to take for a woman's sake In a fever of to-and-fro. There were the landmarks one and all — What did they stand to show ? Street and square and river were there — Where was the antient woe ? Never a hint of a challenging hope Nor a hope laid sick and low, But a longing dead as its kindred sped A thousand years ago ! XXIV ONLY a freakish wisp of hair ? — Nay, but its wildest, its most frolic whorl Stands for a slim, enamoured,...
Sivu 62 - By working, marrying, breeding Shoreham Town, Breaking the sunset's wistful and solemn dream, An old, black rotter of a boat Past service to the labouring, tumbling flote, Lay stranded in mid-stream: With a horrid list, a frightening lapse from the line, That made me think of legs and a broken spine : Soon, all too soon, Ungainly and forlorn to lie Full in the eye Of the cynical, discomfortable moon That, as I looked, stared from the fading sky, A clown's face flour'd for work. And by and by The...
Sivu 54 - Since those we love and those we hate, With all things mean and all things great, Pass in a desperate disarray Over the hills and far away : It must be, dear, that, late or soon, Out of the ken of the watching moon, We shall abscond with Yesterday Over the hills and far away.
Sivu 35 - Love, which is lust, is the Lamp in the Tomb. Love, which is lust,' is the Call from the Gloom. Love, which is lust, is the Main of Desire. Love, which is lust, is the Centric Fire. So man and woman will keep their trust, Till the very Springs of the Sea run dust.
Sivu 102 - Christian, poet ; with a free, Far-glancing, luminous utterance ; and a heart Large as ST. FRANCIS'S : withal a brain Stored with experience, letters, fancy, art, And scored with runes of human joy and pain.
Sivu 6 - IN sumptuous chords, and strange, Through rich yet poignant harmonies : Subtle and strong browns, reds Magnificent with death and the pride of death, Thin, clamant greens And delicate yellows that exhaust The exquisite chromatics of decay...
Sivu 90 - In that great duel of Sex, that ancient strife Which is the very central fact of life, They could — and did — engage it breath for breath, They could — and did — get wounded unto death. As at all times since time for us began Woman was truly woman, man was man, And joy and sorrow were as much at home In trifling Tunbridge as in mighty Rome. Dead — dead and done with ! Swift from shine to shade The roaring generations flit and fade. To this one, fading, flitting, like the rest, We come to...
