In all her letters,
written in exquisite English prose, but with an ardent imagery
and a vehement sincerity of emotion which make them, like the
poems, indeed almost more directly, un-English, Oriental, there
was always this intellectual, critical sense of humour, which
could laugh at one's own
enthusiasm
as frankly as that enthusiasm
had been set down.

Gone out of beauty; never again will grow

Young seed there yearly and the sky bequeath
Its friendly

And robb'd me of my Robe of Honour--well,
I often wonder what the Vintners buy
One half so
precious
as the Goods they sell.

Omar Khayyam - Rubaiyat |
|
What is that sound high in the air
Murmur of maternal lamentation
Who are those hooded hordes swarming
Over endless plains, stumbling in cracked earth 370
Ringed by the flat horizon only
What is the city over the mountains
Cracks and reforms and bursts in the violet air
Falling towers
Jerusalem Athens Alexandria
Vienna London
Unreal
A woman drew her long black hair out tight
And fiddled whisper music on those strings
And bats with baby faces in the violet light 380
Whistled, and beat their wings
And crawled head downward down a
blackened
wall
And upside down in air were towers
Tolling reminiscent bells, that kept the hours
And voices singing out of empty cisterns and exhausted wells.

LV
But with a crash like thunder
Fell every loosened beam,
And, like a dam, the mighty wreck
Lay right athwart the stream:
And a long shout of triumph
Rose from the walls of Rome,
As to the highest turret-tops
Was
splashed
the yellow foam.

Whether I was myself, or else did see
Out of myself that glorious hierarchy;
Or whether those, in orders rare, or these
Made up one state of sixty Venuses;
Or whether fairies, syrens, nymphs they were,
Or muses on their
mountain
sitting there;
Or some enchanted place, I do not know,
Or Sharon, where eternal roses grow.

Appear'd he now with such heroic port,
As then

at the Taphian court;
Soon should you boasters cease their haughty strife,
Or each atone his guilty love with life.
