Remembrance
wakes its charms, while, tempest tost,
I mark the clouds that o'er my course still frown;
E'en in the port I see the storm afar;
Weary my pilot, mast and cable lost,
And set for ever my fair polar star.

The Tomb of Charles Baudelaire
The buried shrine shows at its sewer-mouth's
Sepulchral slobber of mud and rubies
Some abominable statue of Anubis,
The muzzle lit like a ferocious snout
Or as when a dubious wick twists in the new gas,
Wiping out, as we know, the insults suffered
Haggardly
lighting
an immortal pubis,
Whose flight roosts according to the lamp
What votive leaves, dried in cities without evening
Could bless, as she can, vainly sitting
Against the marble of Baudelaire
Shudderingly absent from the veil that clothes her
She, his Shade, a protective poisonous air
Always to be breathed, although we die of her.

Was beating a man;
He cuffed him loudly
With
thunderous
blows
That rang and rolled over the earth.

AFTER THIS THE JUDGEMENT
As eager homebound traveller to the goal,
Or steadfast seeker on an unsearched main,
Or martyr panting for an aureole,
My fellow-pilgrims pass me, and attain
That hidden mansion of perpetual peace
Where keen desire and hope dwell free from pain:
That gate stands open of
perennial
ease;
I view the glory till I partly long,
Yet lack the fire of love which quickens these.

NIGHT is over the park, and a few brave stars
Look on the lights that link it with chains of gold,
The lake bears up their
reflection
in broken bars
That seem too heavy for tremulous water to hold.

I have beheld the Ephesian's miracle--
Its columns strew the wilderness, and dwell
The hyaena and the jackal in their shade;
I have beheld Sophia's bright roofs swell
Their
glittering
mass i' the sun, and have surveyed
Its sanctuary the while the usurping Moslem prayed;
CLIV.

They all beholding worldly wights in place,
Leave off their worke, unmindfull of their smart,
To gaze on them; who forth by them doe pace,
Till they be come unto the furthest part;
Where was a Cave

by wondrous art, 320
Deepe, darke, uneasie, dolefull, comfortlesse,
In which sad Aesculapius?
