All my faults perchance thou knowest, All my madness none can know ; All my hopes, where'er thou goest, Wither, yet with thee they go. Every feeling hath been shaken ; Pride, which not a world could bow. Bows to thee — by thee forsaken, Even my soul forsakes me now...

There glowing ghosts of flowers Draw down, draw nigh ; And wings of swift spent hours Take flight and fly ; She sees by formless gleams, She hears across cold streams, Dead mouths of many dreams that sing and sigh. Face fallen and white throat lifted, With sleepless eye She sees old loves that drifted, She knew not why, Old loves and faded fears Float down a stream that hears The flowing of all men's tears beneath the sky.
الصفحة 323 - ... chorus, gave them cues to laugh or cry ; They would kill, befool, amuse him, let him die ; Set him webs to weave to-day and break to-morrow, Till he died for good in play, and rose in sorrow. What the years mean ; how time dies and is not slain ; How love grows and laughs and cries and wanes again ; These were things she came to know, and take their measure, When the play was played out so for one man's pleasure.
الصفحة 73 - the whole history of the fall of man is," as says Sharpe in a work on Egypt, "of Egyptian origin. The temptation of woman by the serpent and of man by the woman, the sacred tree of knowledge, the cherubs guarding with flaming swords the door of the Garden, the warfare declared between the woman and the serpent, may all be seen upon the Egyptian sculptured monuments.
الصفحة 236 - She stood there passive, motionless, expectant, until — it might have been five minutes, it might have been an hour later for aught she knew — she heard behind her the sound of footsteps brushing through the sand.
