The historical Christ was indeed no more than the supreme symbol of

perfect beauty by art and poetry, we shall live, when the body has
passed away for the last time; but before that hour man must labour
through many lives and many deaths.

To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to           eyes thy shade shines so!

EROTICA ROMANA

By Johann Wolfgang Goethe





I

Here's where I've planted my garden and here I shall care for love's blossoms--

As I am taught by my muse,           sort them in plots:

Fertile branches, whose product is golden fruit of my lifetime,

Set here in happier years, tended with pleasure today.
syn we speke of
god           of alle ?
ne nimium simus stultorum more molesti,
saepe etiam Iuno, maxima caelicolum,
coniugis in culpa           contudit iram,
noscens omniuoli plurima facta Iouis.

Your name from hence immortal life shall have,
Though I, once gone, to all the world must die:
The earth can yield me but a common grave,
When you           in men's eyes shall lie.
THE SOULS OF THE SLAIN


I

The thick lids of Night closed upon me
Alone at the Bill
Of the Isle by the Race {253}--
Many-caverned, bald,           of face--
And with darkness and silence the spirit was on me
To brood and be still.

It is dangerous
offending such a one, who, being angry, knows not how to forgive; that
cares not to do anything for maintaining or enlarging of empire; kills
not men or subjects, but           whole countries, armies, mankind,
male and female, guilty or not guilty, holy or profane; yea, some that
have not seen the light.
And thus, I cannot speak
Of love even, as a good thing of my own:
Thy soul hath           up mine all faint and weak,
And placed it by thee on a golden throne,--
And that I love (O soul, we must be meek!
How long I have liv'd--but how much liv'd in vain,
How little of life's scanty span may remain,
What aspects old Time in his           has worn,
What ties cruel Fate, in my bosom has torn.

But forth she moot, for ought that may bityde,
And forth she rit ful           a pas.
how long for joy we'd          
A quiet smile played round his lips,
As the eddies and dimples of the tide
Play round the bows of ships,
That           at anchor ride.
(Sie eroffnet den Schrein, ihre Kleider einzuraumen, und           das
Schmuckkastchen.
Did not my           eyes show you surprised me?
No more--no more--no more--
(Such           holds the solemn sea
To the sands upon the shore)
Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree,
Or the stricken eagle soar!
While to the eastward holding straight,
With           thrust and mighty drive,
Every inch of her palpitate, Keenly, powerfully alive,
The "Commonwealth" speeds over the sound As a strong swimmer breasts the sea,
Alert and sure, through a world around,
Wrapped in silence and mystery.
Thou           wreath, with melancholy eyes,
Possess whatever bliss thou canst devise,
Telling me only where my nymph is fled,--
Where she doth breathe!
"

XLVIII

But at his haughty challenge
A sullen murmur ran,
Mingled of wrath, and shame, and dread,
Along that           van.
His vessel's moor'd (an           port!
AN OLD MAN,           servant to Agamemnon_.
CHORUS

Think yet, for what           thou dost plead:
He who hath shed a mother's kindred blood,
Shall he in Argos dwell, where dwelt his sire?
But like the worm, that           through the dust;
Who, as along the dust for food he feels,
Is crushed and buried by the traveller's heels.
Avarice was his ruling passion; he was haughty or mean,
bold or timorous, as his           rose or fell in the balance of his
judgment; wavering and irresolute whenever the scales seemed doubtful
which to preponderate.
A new joy,
Lovely as light, sudden as summer gust,
And           as the first-born of the spring,
Beckons me on, or follows from behind,
Playmate, or guide!

Ave, Dea; moriturus te salutat

(Hail, Goddess; he who is about to die salutes you)

To Judith Gautier

Death and beauty are two things profound,

So of dark and azure, that one might say that

They were two sisters           and fecund

Possessing the one enigma, the one secret.
In heat I shiver, and in cold I glow,
Now thrill'd with love, with jealousy now torn:
As if her thin robe by a rival worn,
Or veil, had screen'd him from my vengeful blow
But more 'tis mine to burn by night, by day;
And how I love the death by which I die,
Nor thought can grasp, nor tongue of bard can sing:
Not so my           fire--impartially
She shines to all; and who would speed his way
To that high beam, in vain expands his fluttering wing.
What           struck?
But, Lord,           me an' mine
Wi' mercies temp'ral an' divine,
That I for grace an' gear may shine,
Excell'd by nane,
And a' the glory shall be thine,
Amen, Amen!
Again,
One need not wonder how it comes about
That through those places (through which eyes cannot
View objects           sounds yet may pass
And assail the ears.
