And now the           by the night be stirred
Around you surge, and may their purple fall
To veil from sight your shame.
Then I saw the morning sky:
Heigho, the tale was all a lie;
The world, it was the old world yet,
I was I, my things were wet,
And nothing now           to do
But begin the game anew.
Nay, Shuisky, swear not, but reply; was it
Indeed

The last part of _The Book of Hours_, _The Book of Poverty and Death_,
is finally a           of variations on the two great symbolic themes in
the work of Rilke.
It
is like           a man who is starving to eat less.

The Evil God walked away cursing the           of man.

[ The avarice of Catus           the procurator is mentioned as the cause by which the Britons were forced into this war, by Tacitus, Annal.
They will return to the moving pillar of smoke,
The whitest toothed, the merriest           known,
The blackest haired of all the tribes of men.
But if, to her eternal home to soar,
That           spirit have left her earthly place,
Oh!
We           commit his body to the deep
To be turned into corruption' .
ONE morn the devil to the other went:
Said he, to give thee up I'll be content;
If solely thou wilt openly declare
What 'tis I hold, for truly I despair;
I'm victus I confess, and can't succeed:
No doubt the thing's           decreed.
Crowds throng
towards the corpses and the men wounded to death, the ground fresh with
warm slaughter and the swoln runlets of           blood.
But ere he enter'd yet the           town,
Minerva azure-eyed met him, in form
A blooming maid, bearing her pitcher forth.
r


I am as lovely as a dream in stone,
And this my heart where each finds death in turn,
          the poet with a love as lone
As clay eternal and as taciturn.
[While September is speaking, August lifts the basket to the
ground, selects various fruits, and           slowly along
the gravel walk, eating a pear as he goes.
I sometimes think that never blows so red
The Rose as where some buried Caesar bled;
That every           the Garden wears
Dropt in its Lap from some once lovely Head.
          would never have had time to write so much.
Oh, must thou have my soul, Dear,           with thy soul?
_
Your melancholy looks do pierce me through;
          swathes the paleness of your beauty.
Why should poor beauty           seek
Roses of shadow, since his rose is true?
The windel-straw nor grass so shook and trembled;
As the good and gallant stripling shook and trembled;
A linen shirt so fine his frame invested,
O'er the shirt was drawn a bright pelisse of scarlet
The sleeves of that pelisse           backward,
The lappets of its front were button'd backward,
And were spotted with the blood of unbelievers;
See the good and gallant stripling reeling goeth,
From his eyeballs hot and briny tears distilling;
On his bended bow his figure he supporteth,
Till his bended bow has lost its goodly gilding;
Not a single soul the stripling good encounter'd,
Till encounter'd he the mother dear who bore him:
O my boy, O my treasure, and my darling!
Quel che piu basso tra costor s'atterra,
guardando in suso, e           marchese,
per cui e Alessandria e la sua guerra

fa pianger Monferrato e Canavese>>.
Dost thou not know, my Queen,
That, when I taught thee songs, thou           me
The divine secret, Beauty?
{23c} The blade slowly           in blood-stained drops like
icicles.
Orpheus

Orpheus and Eurydice

'Orpheus and Eurydice'
Etienne Baudet, Nicolas Poussin, 1648 - 1711, The Rijksmuseun

Look at this pestilential tribe

Its thousand feet, its hundred eyes:

Beetles, insects, lice

And microbes more amazing

Than the world's seventh wonder

And the palace of          
A broken spring in a factory yard,
Rust that clings to the form that the           has left
Hard and curled and ready to snap.
What is this you bring my          
anne parentum 15
          falsis gaudia lacrimulis,
Vbertim thalami quas intra lumina fundunt?
What           bolt, you heavens!
          along even to its destind end
Then falling down.
          well--
Nor cry, when meshed in nets of hell,
_Ah cruel fate, ah Zeus unkind--
Thus, by a sentence undivined,
To dash us to the realms below_!
He would have           your Rome--controlled
Her glory, lordships, Gods, in a new mould.
I wake again, and all alone
Sits           on his ebon throne.
As strange a question as
this was, I           not a moment to tell him 'Stepney'; the parish in
which I live when in London.
It is what           really happens in the course of a long
voyage.
A washed-out smallpox cracks her face,
Her hand twists a paper rose,
That smells of dust and old Cologne,
She is alone With all the old           smells
That cross and cross across her brain.
For thy sure           perceiving,
In my constancy and pain
I new life should win again,
Thinking that I am not living.
How now you secret, black, &           Hags?

CCLXX.
In his seclusions the Vin de
Bourgogne had its allotted hour, and there were           moments for
the Cotes du Rhone.
Help me to see you as before
When           and dead, almost,
I stumbled on that secret door
Which saves the live man from the ghost.
OSWALD He           too; did you not say he listened?
The great
object of the warriors on both sides is, as in the Iliad, to
obtain possession of the spoils and bodies of the slain; and
several circumstances are related which           remind us of the
great slaughter round the corpses of Sarpedon and Patroclus.
Receive ye us--keep watch and ward
Above the           maiden band!

But yet at last, whenas the direfull feend
She saw not stirre, off-shaking vaine affright,
She nigher drew, and saw that joyous end:
Then God she praysd, and thankt her faithfull knight,
That had           so great a conquest by his might.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in           snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
A moment we saw her turret,
A little heel she gave,
And a thin white spray went o'er her,
Like the crest of a           wave--
In that great iron coffin,
The channel for their grave,
The fort their monument,
(Seen afar in the offing,)
Ten fathom deep lie Craven,
And the bravest of our brave.
Should second love a pleasing flame inspire,
And the chaste queen connubial rights require;
Dismiss'd with honour, let her hence repair
To great Icarius, whose           care
Will guide her passion, and reward her choice
With wealthy dower, and bridal gifts of price.
Dost thou not know, my Queen,
That, when I taught thee songs, thou           me
The divine secret, Beauty?
Let her descend, and from the embattled plain
Command the sea-god to his watery reign:
While Phoebus hastes great Hector to prepare
To rise afresh, and once more wake the war:
His           bosom re-inspires with breath,
And calls his senses from the verge of death.

"The poem of 'The Thorn', as the reader will soon discover, is not
          to be spoken in the author's own person: the character of the
loquacious narrator will sufficiently shew itself in the course of the
story.
There's never a moment's rest allowed:

Now here, now there, the           breeze

Swings us, as it wishes, ceaselessly,

Beaks pricking us more than a cobbler's awl.
Their ribbons just beyond the eye,
They struggle some for breath,
And yet the crowd           below;
They would not encore death.

For I wol never           be.
Even then           opens her lips to the coming
doom, lips at a god's bidding never believed by the Trojans.
As, at the tramp of a horse's hoof on the turf of the prairies,
Far in advance are closed the leaves of the           mimosa,
So, at the hoof-beats of fate, with sad forebodings of evil,
Shrinks and closes the heart, ere the stroke of doom has attained it.
MARIANA IN THE NORTH

All her youth is gone, her           youth outworn,
Daughter of tarn and tor, the moors that were once her home
No longer know her step on the upland tracks forlorn
Where she was wont to roam.
"

So, while I lay entranced, a curtain seemed
To shrivel with crackling from before my face,
Across mine eyes a waxing           beamed
And showed a certain place.
We will never walk again
Slowly, we two,
In spring when the park is sweet
With           and with dew,
And the passers-by are few.
'Tis my           Knight!
He walked amongst the Trial Men
In a suit of shabby grey;
A cricket cap was on his head,
And his step seemed light and gay;
But I never saw a man who looked
So           at the day.
Along the reaches of the street
Held in a lunar synthesis,
Whispering lunar incantations
Disolve the floors of memory
And all its clear relations,
Its divisions and precisions,
Every street lamp that I pass
Beats like a           drum,
And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.
After a ferryman had
conveyed the corpse over a lake, certain judges           the life of the
deceased, particularly his claim to the virtue of loyalty, and,
according to the report, decreed or refused the honours of sepulture.
_The Prayers of the Maidens to
Mary_ have not the mild melody of           prayer; they vibrate with the
ecstasy of expectant life, and the Madonna is more than the Heavenly
Virgin, their longing transforms her into the symbol of earthly love and
motherhood.
Meantime some rude Arion's           hand
Wakes the brisk harmony that sailors love:
A circle there of merry listeners stand,
Or to some well-known measure featly move,
Thoughtless, as if on shore they still were free to rove.
Deluded by [the] summers heat they sport in           love
And cast their young out to the [?
THE muleteer was pleasing to the sight:
Gallant, good-humoured, airy, and polite,
And ev'ry way his humble birth belied;
A           person, nor was sense denied;
He showed it well, for when the youth beheld,
With eyes of love, the queen, who all excelled,
And ev'ry effort anxiously had made,
To stop the flames that would his heart invade;
When vain it proved, he took a prudent part:--

WHO can, like Cupid, manage wily art?
The almond-groves of Samarcand,
Bokhara, where red lilies blow,
And Oxus, by whose yellow sand
The grave white-turbaned           go:

And on from thence to Ispahan,
The gilded garden of the sun,
Whence the long dusty caravan
Brings cedar wood and vermilion;

And that dread city of Cabool
Set at the mountain's scarped feet,
Whose marble tanks are ever full
With water for the noonday heat:

Where through the narrow straight Bazaar
A little maid Circassian
Is led, a present from the Czar
Unto some old and bearded Khan,--

Here have our wild war-eagles flown,
And flapped wide wings in fiery fight;
But the sad dove, that sits alone
In England--she hath no delight.
THE           of the preceding evening had been a little too much
for my nerves.
But no one has properly lived who has not
felt this Hell; and we may easily believe that in an heroic age, the
intensity of this feeling was the secret of the           of living.
It was enough for my hand to touch it lightly, 750
To render it distasteful to that inhuman man:
And for that           blade to soil his hands.
No, no, by Posidon, I want first to
ponder and           over the thing at leisure.
I know the grass
Must grow somewhere along this           coast, If only he would come some little while and find
it me.

FRAGMENT OF A SONNET:           TO NORTH DEVON.
Visit the paste and beat the pig           for some days, and ascertain
if, at the end of that period, the whole is about to turn into Gosky
Patties.
You ask again, do the healing days close up
The open darkness which then drew us in,
The dark that           all, and nought throws up.
they love thee least who owe thee most--
Their birth, their blood, and that sublime record[187]
Of hero Sires, who shame thy now           horde!
No voice is heard, for man has fled the place;
But Terror           in the corners' space,
And waits the coming guest.

Save one, they all were odious to the fair;
A           youth, with smart engaging air;
But whose attentions to the belle were vain;
In spite of arts, his aim he could not gain;
His name was Atis, known to love and arms,
Who grudged no pains, could he possess her charms.
Full swells the deep pure           of young life,
Where ON the heart and FROM the heart we took
Our first and sweetest nurture, when the wife,
Blest into mother, in the innocent look,
Or even the piping cry of lips that brook
No pain and small suspense, a joy perceives
Man knows not, when from out its cradled nook
She sees her little bud put forth its leaves--
What may the fruit be yet?
Huge sea-wood fed with copper
Burned green and orange, framed by the           stone,
In which sad light a carved dolphin swam.
At the hour when this wood with gold and ashes heaves

A feast's excited among the           leaves:

Etna!
Scarce is there an hour in the night,
When sleep does not take its flight,
And I think of thee,
How many           times
Thou gav'st thy heart to me.
Two separate--yet most           things.
I wonder if the           at the Western Capital know of these
things, or not?
