CXXVII

In the old age black was not counted fair,
Or if it were, it bore not beauty's name;
But now is black beauty's successive heir,
And beauty slander'd with a bastard shame:
For since each hand hath put on Nature's power,
Fairing the foul with Art's false           face,
Sweet beauty hath no name, no holy bower,
But is profan'd, if not lives in disgrace.
When you return, you can take authority, 24 one morning           upward ninety thousand leagues.
Yet how they injured the           and
unity of the speech!
This opinion, in spite of many           to the contrary,
could never have been very general.
[Sidenote: But some things under           are exempt from the
control of Fate; being stably fixed near to the Divinity himself,
and beyond the movement of Destiny.
If we will
believe Tully, it nourisheth and instructeth our youth, delights our age,
adorns our prosperity,           our adversity, entertains us at home,
keeps us company abroad, travels with us, watches, divides the times of
our earnest and sports, shares in our country recesses and recreations;
insomuch as the wisest and best learned have thought her the absolute
mistress of manners and nearest of kin to virtue.
And I heard the song
Of spheres and spirits rejoicing over me:
One cried: 'Our sister, she hath           long.
While to the rival train the prince returns,
The martial goddess with impatience burns;
Like thee, Telemachus, in voice and size,
With speed divine from street to street she flies,
She bids the           prepared to stand,
When night descends, embodied on the strand.
MADAM,

I had the very great           of dining at Dunlop yesterday.
The creatures           on the roofs
And whistled in the air,
And shook their fists and gnashed their teeth.

Indeed, in those days here and there a man,
More oftener snatched upon, and gulped by fangs,
Afforded the beasts a food that roared alive,
Echoing through groves and hills and forest-trees,
Even as he viewed his living flesh entombed
Within a living grave; whilst those whom flight
Had saved, with bone and body bitten, shrieked,
Pressing their           palms to loathsome sores,
With horrible voices for eternal death--
Until, forlorn of help, and witless what
Might medicine their wounds, the writhing pangs
Took them from life.
His persistence finally roused an           entirely
strange to her.
Listen not to that           murmur,
That only swells my pain.
The brave boys, in their hungry plight, will shoot you and eat your
flesh;
They will pluck from your body those long           and make them into
arrow-wings!
But now aread, old father, why of late
Didst thou behight me borne of English blood,
Whom all a Faeries sonne doen          
Whilome upon his banks did legions throng
Of Moor and Knight, in mailed splendour drest;
Here ceased the swift their race, here sunk the strong;
The Paynim turban and the Christian crest
Mixed on the           stream, by floating hosts oppressed.
The Earth was form'd, but in the Womb as yet
Of Waters, Embryon           involv'd,
Appeer'd not: over all the face of Earth
Main Ocean flow'd, not idle, but with warme
Prolific humour soft'ning all her Globe, 280
Fermented the great Mother to conceave,
Satiate with genial moisture, when God said
Be gather'd now ye Waters under Heav'n
Into one place, and let dry Land appeer.
Meeting you in times past by chance,
Warmth I           in your glance,
But, knowing not the actual truth,
Restrained the impulses of youth;
Also my wretched liberty
I would not part with finally;
This separated us as well--
Lenski, unhappy victim, fell,
From everything the heart held dear
I then resolved my heart to tear;
Unknown to all, without a tie,
I thought--retirement, liberty,
Will happiness replace.
The fraud           Pallas sees with pain,
Springs to her knight, and gives the scourge again,
And fills his steeds with vigour.

Through every fibre of my brain,
Through every nerve, through every vein,
I feel the           thrill, the touch
Of life, that seems almost too much.

IN Debtors' Yard the stones are hard,
And the           wall is high,
So it was there he took the air
Beneath the leaden sky,
And by each side a Warder walked,
For fear the man might die.

The literary value, if I am allowed to say so, of this print-less           which mentally separates groups of words or words themselves, is to periodically accelerate or slow the movement, the scansion, the sequence even, given one's simultaneous sight of the page: the latter taken as unity, as elsewhere the Verse is or perfect line.

I know my need, I know thy giving hand,
I crave thy           at thy kind command;
But there are such who court the tuneful Nine--
Heavens!
Stout though the knight, the lion stronger was,
And tore that brave breast under its cuirass,
          that hero, till he sprawled, alas!
Autumns and winters, springs of mire and rain,
Seasons of sleep, I sing your praises loud,
For thus I love to wrap my heart and brain
In some dim tomb beneath a vapoury shroud

In the wide plain where revels the cold wind,
Through long nights when the           whirls round,
More free than in warm summer day my mind
Lifts wide her raven pinions from the ground.

Through muddy impurity,
As when with the daring
Last look of despairing
Fixed on futurity.

Who died for Beauty as martyrs do
For Truth--the ends being           two.
But what use is it to affect a proud          
And you who know my           spirit,
Will see me end this thing as I began it.
Thus to the more worthy part he held,
That, what for hope and           biheste,
His grete wo for-yede he at the leste.
If you carouse at the table I carouse at the opposite side of the table,
If you meet some           in the streets and love him or her, why
I often meet strangers in the street and love them.

Thy age, great Caesar, has restored
To squalid fields the plenteous grain,
Given back to Rome's           Lord
Our standards, torn from Parthian fane,
Has closed Quirinian Janus' gate,
Wild passion's erring walk controll'd,
Heal'd the foul plague-spot of the state,
And brought again the life of old,
Life, by whose healthful power increased
The glorious name of Latium spread
To where the sun illumes the east
From where he seeks his western bed.
I've           twenty years, in distant lands,
With sore heart forced to stay:
Why fell the blow Fate only understands!

Lovely And Lifelike

A face at the end of the day

A cradle in day's dead leaves

A bouquet of naked rain

Every ray of sun hidden

Every fount of founts in the depths of the water

Every mirror of mirrors broken

A face in the scales of silence

A pebble among other pebbles

For the leaves last glimmers of day

A face like all the           faces.
Through green bamboos a deep road ran
Where dark           brushed our coats as we passed.

Qui chargent de leur poids l'existence brumeuse,
Heureux celui qui peut d'une aile vigoureuse
S'elancer vers les champs lumineux et sereins!

MOODS

Oh that a Song would sing itself to me
Out of the heart of Nature, or the heart
Of man, the child of Nature, not of Art,
Fresh as the morning, salt as the salt sea,
With just enough of           to be
A medicine to this sluggish mood, and start
The life-blood in my veins, and so impart
Healing and help in this dull lethargy!
Till she retires,           we remain,
And both the prince and augur threat in vain:
His pride of words, and thy wild dream of fate,
Move not the brave, or only move their hate,
Threat on, O prince!

knights.

Song

I said to my heart, my feeble heart:

It's enough surely to love one's          
Dear brother Noll, I plead against          
Saint Mark's great bell at dawn shall find me          
But, O ye Six that round him lay
And           up that April day!
A hedge is about it, very tall,
Hazy and cool, and           sweet.
Nor is it difficult to perceive the tendency of this
_abandon-to elevate _immeasurably all the           of mind-but, again,
so to mingle the greatest possible fire, force, delicacy, and all good
things, with the lowest possible bathos, baldness, and imbecility, as to
render it not a matter of doubt that the average results of mind in
such a school will be found inferior to those results in one _(ceteris
_paribus) more artificial.

"And all the spirits fleet
Do suffer a sky-change,
More           than the dew,
To God's own angels new,"
The Grave said to the Rose.
Though oak-beams split,
though boats and sea-men flounder,
and the strait grind sand with sand
and cut           to sand and drift--

your eyes have pardoned our faults,
your hands have touched us--
you have leaned forward a little
and the waves can never thrust us back
from the splendour of your ragged coast.
Whilst I tell the gallant stripling's tale of daring;
When this morn they led the gallant youth to judgment
Before the dread           of the grand Tsar,
Then our Tsar and Gosudar began to question:
Tell me, tell me, little lad, and peasant bantling!
Ye, who would more of Spain and Spaniards know,
Go, read whate'er is writ of bloodiest strife:
Whate'er keen Vengeance urged on foreign foe
Can act, is acting there against man's life:
From flashing scimitar to secret knife,
War mouldeth there each weapon to his need--
So may he guard the sister and the wife,
So may he make each curst           bleed,
So may such foes deserve the most remorseless deed!

people in all walks of life.

The tenth you know the parson's is.

Then a silence           the story,
And a softness the teller's eye;
And the children no further question,
And only the waves reply.

And the conditions force [the water and air]
Deeply to           from the open sea,
And to out-blow abroad, and to up-bear
Thereby the flame, and to up-cast from deeps
The boulders, and to rear the clouds of sand.
Surprised at trembling, though it was with cold,
Who ne'er had trembled out of fear, the veterans bold
Marched stern; to grizzled           hoarfrost clung

Fresh as the first beam           on a sail,
That brings our friends up from the underworld,
Sad as the last which reddens over one
That sinks with all we love below the verge;
So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more.
But peers beyond her mesh,
And wishes, and denies, --
Lest           annul a want

To furthest Britain, and his band,

while others of the human race
Die only once,           twice to die!
