Seite 155 - We are what suns and winds and waters make us The mountains are our sponsors, and the rills Fashion and win their nursling with their smiles.

Seite 117 - O spirit that man's life left pure, Man's death set free, Not with disdain of days that were Look earthward now ; Let dreams revive the reverend hair, The imperial brow ; Come back in sleep, for in the life Where thou art not We find none like thee.

Seite 282 - Our library-bower That eve was left to us: and hushed we sat As lovers to whom Time is whispering. From sudden-opened doors we heard them sing: The nodding elders mixed good wine with chat. Well knew we that Life's greatest treasure lay With us, and of it was our talk. ' Ah, yes! Love dies!'

Seite 258 - Is not his incense bitterness, his meat Murder ? his hidden face and iron feet Hath not man known, and felt them on their way Threaten and trample all things and every day ? Hath he not sent us hunger ? who hath cursed Spirit and flesh with longing ? filled with thirst Their lips who cried unto him ? who bade exceed The fervid will, fall short the feeble deed, Bade sink the spirit and the flesh aspire, Pain animate the dust of dead desire, And life yield up her flower to violent fate ? Him would...
Seite 258 - Shaken down from the shining thereof, Wrecks from afar overseas And peril of shallow and firth, And tears that spring and increase In the barren places of mirth, That thou, having wings as a dove, Being girt with desire for a girth, That thou must come after these, That thou must lay on him love?
Seite 188 - Thou and I and he are not gods made men for a span, But God, if a God there be, is the substance of men which is man. Our lives are as pulses or pores of his manifold body and breath ; As waves of his sea on the shores where birth is the beacon of death.
Seite 192 - Whoso bears the whole heaviness of the wronged world's weight And puts it by, It is well with him suffering, though he face man's fate ; should he die ? " Seeing death has no part in him any more, no power Upon his head ; He has bought his eternity with a little hour, And is not dead. " For an hour, if ye look for him, he is no...
