As we stood by the thirty-two-pounder on the summit of Cape
Diamond, which is fired three times a day, the

told me that
it would carry to the Isle of Orleans, four miles distant, and that no

Spread like a low-born mist, and blot the sun;

And mighty dukes pack cards for half-a-crown.

Upon a hillside will the woolly flocks
Be

their goodly food and creeping about
Whither the summons of the grass, begemmed
With the fresh dew, is calling, and the lambs,
Well filled, are frisking, locking horns in sport:

A glint of white at rest on a green hill.

Disolve the floors of memory

And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight shakes the memory

" Then the poet gazed
Upon the angel glorious-faced
Whose hand, majestically raised,
Floated across the organ-keys,
Like a pale moon o'er murmuring seas,
With no touch but with influences:
Then rose and fell (with swell and swound
Of shapeless noises
wandering
round
A concord which at last they found)
Those mystic keys: the tones were mixed,
Dim, faint, and thrilled and throbbed betwixt
The incomplete and the unfixed:
And therein mighty minds were heard
In mighty musings, inly stirred,
And struggling outward for a word:
Until these surges, having run
This way and that, gave out as one
An Aphrodite of sweet tune,
A Harmony that, finding vent,
Upward in grand ascension went,
Winged to a heavenly argument,
Up, upward like a saint who strips
The shroud back from his eyes and lips,
And rises in apocalypse:
A harmony sublime and plain,
Which cleft (as flying swan, the rain,--
Throwing the drops off with a strain
Of her white wing) those undertones
Of perplext chords, and soared at once
And struck out from the starry thrones
Their several silver octaves as
It passed to God.

So they crossed to the other border, and again they formed in order;
And the boats came back for soldiers, came for soldiers,
soldiers still:
The time seemed everlasting to us women faint and fasting,--
At last they're moving, marching,
marching
proudly up the hill.

[Illustration]
There was an old man, who when little
Fell
casually
into a kettle;
But, growing too stout, he could never get out,
So he passed all his life in that kettle.

Ces

dont la main, qui toujours gratte et fauche,
Dans ses jeux destructeurs a pourtant respecte
De ce corps ferme et droit la rude majeste.

Here on my heart, but still the night is kind
And leaves her warm sweet weight against my breast.

VI
As in her chariot the Phrygian goddess rode,
Crowned with high turrets, happy to have borne
Such
quantity
of gods, so her I mourn,
This ancient city, once whole worlds bestrode:
On whom, more than the Phrygian, was bestowed
A wealth of progeny, whose power at dawn
Was the world's power, her grandeur, now shorn,
Knowing no match to that which from her flowed.
