...nting, something falls behind;
   The flowered Solstice comes indeed, but never
     That light and lovely summer men divined.

   Violet
   I were the colour of Things, (if hue they had)
         That are hard to name.
   Of curious, twisted thoughts that men call "mad"
         Or oftener "shame."
   Of that delicate vice, that is hardly vice,
         So reticent, rare,
   Ethereal, as the scent of buds and spice,
         In this Eastern air.

...own silver distances that faintly gleamed
On to infinity.

Till suddenly I paused, for lo!
A shape (from whence I ne'er divined)
Appeared before me, pacing to and fro,
With head far down inclined.

`A wraith' (I thought) `that walks the shore
To solve some old perplexity.'
Full heavy hung the draggled gown he wore;
His hair flew all awry.

He waited not (as ghosts oft use)
To be `dearheaven'd!' and `oh'd!'
But briskly said: "Good-evenin'; what's the news?
Consumption? After b...Read more of this...

...ur bed
With lissome scions, sweet scions,
Out of hallowed bodies bred. 
Each be other's comfort kind:
Déep, déeper than divined,
Divine charity, dear charity,
Fast you ever, fast bind. 

Then let the March tread our ears:
I to him turn with tears
Who to wedlock, his wonder wedlock,
Déals tríumph and immortal years....Read more of this...

...imity myself,
I waited. There was nothing else to do 
But wait, and to remember that his tale, 
Though well along, as I divined it was, 
Yet hovered among shadows and regrets 
Of twenty years ago. When he began
Again to speak, I felt them coming nearer. 

“Whenever your poet or your philosopher 
Has nothing richer for us,” he resumed, 
“He burrows among remnants, like a mouse 
In a waste-basket, and with much dry noise
Comes up again, having found Time at the bottom 
And fill...Read more of this...

You faced life as it is,
And as it changes.
Some of us almost came to you, Father Malloy,
Seeing how your church had divined the heart,
And provided for it,
Through Peter the Flame,
Peter the Rock....Read more of this...

...u've striven 
Daring, to fail: 
Your sky is riven 
Like a tearing veil.

For this, you've wasted 
Wings of your youth; 
Divined, and tasted 
Bitter springs of truth.

From sand unslakèd 
Twisted strong cords, 
And wandering naked 
Among trysted swords.

There's a word unspoken, 
A knot untied. 
Whatever is broken 
The earth may hide.

The road was jagged 
Over sharp stones: 
Your body's too ragged 
To cover your bones.

The wind scatters 
Tears upon dust; 
Your soul's in tatt...Read more of this...

...her touch so cold, 
And th' airy picture vanished from his hold. 
In his deep thoughts the wonder did increase, 
And he divined 'twas England or the Peace. 

Express him startling next with listening ear, 
As one that some unusual noise does hear. 
With cannon, trumpets, drums, his door surround-- 
But let some other painter draw the sound. 
Thrice did he rise, thrice the vain tumult fled, 
But again thunders, when he lies in bed. 
His mind secure does the known stroke repeat...Read more of this...

...eard the office call me Mabel.
I have to let them call me what they like."

 They were both stirred that he should have divined
Without the name her personal mystery.
It made it seem as if there must be something
She must have missed herself. So they were married,
And took the fancy home with them to live by.

 They went on pilgrimage once to her father's
(The house one story high in front, three stories
On the side it presented to the road)
To see if there was not some speci...Read more of this...

...rophies! which thou viewest as not thine own; 
Thou art their author, and prime architect: 
For I no sooner in my heart divined, 
My heart, which by a secret harmony 
Still moves with thine, joined in connexion sweet, 
That thou on earth hadst prospered, which thy looks 
Now also evidence, but straight I felt, 
Though distant from thee worlds between, yet felt, 
That I must after thee, with this thy son; 
Such fatal consequence unites us three! 
Hell could no longer hold us i...Read more of this...

...r chairs companionably nigh,
Each with a headache sat her sire and I.

Instant the hostess waked: she viewed the scene,
Divined the giants' languor by their mien,
And with hospitable care
Tackled at once an Atlantean chair.
Her pigmy stature scarce attained the seat -
She dragged it where she would, and with her feet
Surmounted; thence, a Phaeton launched, she crowned
The vast plateau of the piano, found
And culled a pair of fans; wherewith equipped,
Our mountaineer back to t...Read more of this...
