series, but a selection: and the
relation
of the poems _inter se_ appears
to me to depend on altered conditions, which, however narrowed they are, it

To sit in the door in the sun
And watch the world go by,
A pageant and a dream;
For I was born for love, 5
And
fashioned
for desire,
Beauty, passion, and joy,
And sorrow and unrest;
And with all things of earth
Eternally must go, 10

Of joyance and of death,

A shadow on the hill,
A hint of odorous grass, 15

Parsifal
Parsifal has conquered the girls, their sweet
Chatter, amusing lust - and his inclination,
A virgin boy's, towards the Flesh, tempted
To love the little tits and gentle babble;
He's conquered lovely Woman, of subtle
Heart, showing her cool arms, provoking breast;
He's conquered Hell,
returned
to his tent,
With a weighty trophy on his boyish arm.

Pass the height of minstrel skill,
But the ploughman's thoughtless cry,
Lowing oxen, sheep that bleat,

Softened are above their will,
Take tones from groves they

What remain'd, as lively turf
With green herb, so did clothe itself with plumes,
Which haply had with purpose chaste and kind
Been offer'd; and

Both one and other, and the beam, so quickly
A sigh were not breath'd sooner.

Of brothers, leagued no less by love than blood;
Who shall be all that Leda's children were;
The just Alphonso, Hippolite the good.

Kipling - Poems |

Blanch swears her husband's lovely; when a scald

By flattery and lover's art--
