Round bush and tree, soft-brushing, in his speed,
The taller grasses and full-flowering weed,
Until he found a

Bright, and cirque-couchant in a dusky brake.

With white and silver throat.

Her chamber walls were richly inlaid
With agate, porphory, onyx and jade;

Glowed with the hues of a lapwing's crest;

There are two of the lines in which a sentiment is conveyed that
embodies the _all in all _of the divine passion of Love--a sentiment
which, perhaps, has found its echo in more, and in more passionate,
human hearts than any other single sentiment ever
embodied
in words:--
Come, rest in this bosom, my own stricken deer
Though the herd have fled from thee, thy home is still here;
Here still is the smile, that no cloud can o'ercast,
And a heart and a hand all thy own to the last.

Sick--sick; unfound the boon,
unslaked
the thirst,
Though to the last, in verge of our decay,
Some phantom lures, such as we sought at first--
But all too late,--so are we doubly curst.

Her tartan

An' durk an' pistol at her belt,
She'll tak the streets,
An' rin her whittle to the hilt,
I' th' first she meets!

Ye spak na, but gaed by like stour;
Ye geck at me because I'm poor,
But fient a hair care I.

Khalil Gibran - Poems |
|
Rejoice,--because ye have not, set in you,
This hate which shall pursue you--this fire-hate
Which glares without, because it burns within--
Which kills from ashes--this potential hate,
Wherein I, angel, in antagonism
To God and his reflex beatitudes,
Moan ever, in the central universe,
With the great woe of striving against Love--
And gasp for space amid the Infinite,
And toss for rest amid the Desertness,
Self-orphaned by my will, and self-elect
To
kingship
of resistant agony
Toward the Good round me--hating good and love,
And willing to hate good and to hate love,
And willing to will on so evermore,
Scorning the past and damning the to-come--
Go and rejoice!

Then Summer-seeming Lust: and it hath bin
The Sword of our slaine Kings: yet do not feare,
Scotland hath Foysons, to fill vp your will
Of your meere Owne.

You will never prove faithful to
Love, unless you're submissive too,
And to

and strangers you
Act quite humbly,
And to all who live within its view
Obediently.

MASACCIO
IN THE
BRANCACCI
CHAPEL
He came to Florence long ago,
And painted here these walls, that shone
For Raphael and for Angelo,
With secrets deeper than his own,
Then shrank into the dark again,
And died, we know not how or when.
