الصفحة 88 - There was an ape in the days that were earlier; Centuries passed, and his hair became curlier; Centuries more gave a thumb to his wrist — Then he was Man, and a Positivist.
الصفحة 15 - Latini, et quo quemque modo fugiatque feratque laborem. sunt geminae Somni portae, quarum altera fertur cornea, qua veris facilis datur exitus umbris, altera candenti perfecta nitens elephanto, sed falsa ad caelum mittunt insomnia Manes.
الصفحة 75 - We rambled away o'er the moorland together : My coat was bright purple, and so was the heather, And so was the sunset that blazed in the west, As Lucy's fair tresses were laid on my breast.
الصفحة 87 - Positivists ? Social arrangements are awful miscarriages ; Cause of all crime is our system of marriages. Poets with sonnets and lovers with trysts Kindle the ire of the Positivists. Husbands and wives should be all one community, Exquisite freedom with absolute unity. | Wedding-rings worse are than manacled wrists ; Such is the creed of the Positivists. There was an ape in the days that were earlier ; Centuries...
الصفحة 87 - THE POSITIVISTS LIFE and the Universe show spontaneity: Down with ridiculous notions of Deity ! Churches and creeds are all lost in the mists; Truth must be sought with the Positivists. • Wise are their teachers beyond all comparison, Comte, Huxley, Tyndall, Mill, Morley, and Harrison; Who will adventure to enter the lists With such a squadron of Positivists?
الصفحة 75 - neath that sunset aflame, But Lucy returned to her Earl all the same ; She's a grandmamma now, and is going down hill,^ But my old velvet coat is a friend to me still...
الصفحة 33 - NO ; I shall pass into the Morning Land As now from sleep into the life of morn ; Live the new life of the new world, unshorn Of the swift brain, the executing hand ; See the dense darkness suddenly withdrawn, As when Orion's sightless eyes discerned the dawn. I shall behold it ; I shall see the utter Glory of sunrise heretofore unseen, Freshening the woodland ways with brighter green, And calling into life all wings that flutter, All throats of music and all eyes of light, And driving o'er the verge...
الصفحة 16 - Then the oars of Ithaca dip so Silently into the sea That they wake not sad Calypso — And the Hero wanders free : He breasts the ocean-furrows, At war with the words of Fate — And the blue tide's low susurrus Comes up to the Ivory Gate.
الصفحة 2 - FAST falls the snow, O lady mine, Sprinkling the lawn with crystals fine, But by the gods we won't repine While we're together, We'll chat and rhyme, and kiss and dine, Defying weather. So stir the fire and pour the wine, And let those sea-green eyes divine Pour their love-madness into mine: I don't care whether 'Tis snow or sun or rain or shine If we're together.
الصفحة 134 - WHITE-THROATED Maiden, gay be thy carol Under the cliffs by the sea ; Plays the soft wind with thy dainty apparel — Ah, but thou think'st not of me. Stately and slow The great ships go, White gulls in the blue float free ; And my own dear May Sees the skies turn gray Under the cliffs by the sea.
