Galatea

A SILVER slope, a fall of firs, a league of gleaming grasses,
And fiery cones, and sultry spurs, and swarthy pits and passes!

The long-haired Cyclops bated breath, and bit his lip and hearkened,

Passing Away

THE SPIRIT of beautiful faces,
The light on the forehead of Love,
And the spell of past visited places,
And the songs and the sweetness thereof;

One of those heavenly days that cannot die;
When, in the eagerness of boyish hope,

The Channel Tunnel: Sonnets

NOT for less love, all glorious France, to thee,
â??Sweet enemyâ?? called in days long since at end.
Now found and hailed of England sweeter friend,
Bright sister of our freedom now, being free;

Sometimes I Think The Happiest Of Love's Moments

Sometimes I think the happiest of love's moments
Is the blest moment of release from loving.
The world once more is all one's own to model
Upon one's own and not another's pattern.

The Story Of The Dreadful Griffin. (prose)

My Dear Children,--I am going to tell you a really breathless story for your holiday treat. It will have to begin with the moral, because everyone will be too much exhausted to read one at the end, and as the moral is the only part that really matters, it is important to come to it quite fresh.

We will, therefore, endeavour to learn from this story:-

The Day Of Wrath / Dies Iræ

Day of Satan's painful duty! Dies iræ! dies illa!
Earth shall vanish, hot and sooty; Solvet sæclum in favilla
So says Virtue, so says Beauty. Teste David cum Sibylla.
Ah! what terror shall be shaping Quantus tremor est futurus,

Elegy

The little waves fall in the wintry light
On idle sands along the bitter shore.
The piling clouds are all a pale suspended flight;
They tarry and are moved no more.

On A Spanish Cathedral

DEEP under the spires of a hill, by the feet of the thunder-cloud trod,
I pause in a luminous, still, magnificent temple of God!
At the steps of the altar augustâ??a vision of angels in stoneâ??
I kneel, with my head to the dust, on the floors by the seraphim known.

The Cloud Messenger - Part 02

Your naturally beautiful reflection will gain entry into the clear waters of the
Gambhira River, as into a clear mind. Therefore it is not fitting that you, out
of obstinancy, should render futile her glances which are the darting leaps of
little fish, as white as night-lotus flowers.

In that four-hundredth summer after Christ,

When Calamity Rains

The cloud never holds the bolts of lightning against her subordinate,
Never inquire what's wrong with the Earth,
But when the storm comes and the lights go off ,
When the sun shines and dry the lands into desert,

The Shunamite.[a]

It was a sultry day of summer time.
The sun pour'd down upon the ripen'd grain
With quivering heat, and the suspended leaves
Hung motionless. The cattle on the hills
