iy friend, the young artist Is clever and kind, /
W,th broad Roman iOrehead and deep German
Bis genins has gathered the core andthe rnd .i Il
Ofwhimscal science and exquisite art.
Isngh Al bis quips as lounge in biz room,
Nsese we gin tbe grum world with iis dups and iis
Ifll spun BY Philosophy ont Of the gloom
And Gale Obispo's divine cigarettes.
Anon we play chess with the odds Of pswu,
On an aiabesqne baize fuii Of goblins ana Ciree1;
You should see how he stranglcsa masculine yawn
ASH bubble NY last little spssin Of verses.
'Tis the gslne Of my lie this gamo Of the squares,
my Queen Of White Chessmsn Is COY as the
stars, NsHl b4Hiat4
When Bishop like Dunstan snakes up unawares
And soon there isnothlng but deatl--or cigars.
Cotfons Of smoke whir the curtains and walls
Bya mitred Tertullian all gnarled aud knotty;
And then IN quadrilles, as it staes and crawls
OA1a muscular torso By Buonarott, t
Ho scanderbeg gashes the 0ttomite van,
And the Gnlcimer damsel Of Kubla is heard;
Hard by, az live. in the crafty old man
We sent to iiiyegle Napoleon the Third
vesalis fingers the cross and the clay,
While the Zodiac blossoms sdeleal pearls;
There dear little Agnes, that bald Pagan day,
IsvesuTed with lnslrors miraculous curs.
10 Ieyinthan cores through garge Of harpoons
While Lazarus mumhles his crust on the sod;
Beyond--in this carnival dasce Of cartoons
tiypata glares on the cruciied God
There are fos on the arras snd shields on the stair
While an arabesque bosses the lank balustrade
And trailing just over that wblmeaten cha,,
Isa woman's white dress, W ih its bodice and braid
The visions of youth are ihe wizards Of thought,
No matter how turbid no matter how good II
How many have married the woman they songhN
TIow seldom we marry the woman we shonld
O, bodice and braid with hosom Withinl
o heart Of vampyre and form u a dove
Tbon bast done 70 us that which isblacker than sim
Thou hast iltered my veins withthe frenzy OF love-
And thenZ-but aroynt thee thy power Is past,
And thy face il a GhouTs 10 me ever ngaln--
Aroynt thee to fall with thy plnmage aghast
And the lance Of Orion divorcing thy brain
I spranc from the couch 'till stood by the side
on my friend as he sld by The bodice and dresss
aThis wayv whispefed e.fand TN show thee hriee
TO win and TO worshipto chsuni and to bless"
Dear God az the image the painter unsealed, 4,
The cHriains were siveTed away to a SCROLL
felt that an Isis OF Fld WAS revealed
That isis Icuied ~ tie crHW Of ny sonli
Those pnrc. melting eyes aoat that mystical game,
which prophecy weayes on the sight and The haii
OF those who peer down the death-vistas and pause
On the slab and Tho vlolets waxing them theret
There's fountain ~ tears by the fountain Of mirth
As twights are thin twixt an old and new leaven'
And not Paladin.hero Of earth. 44,
She could make me nlereiful Palmer Of Heaven.
There's glove on the mantle rose N the glasa
A name IN the Bible upon the blank page,
And the very same rosary rppled nt Mass
Coiicd by the canary bird dead IN his cage
Oh beautiful child Of henntiiul mon as
There's beautiful cymar heeemming thy breast,
But IL speaks Of a cerement which seranhs have worn
And II tells OF nightingale sahin It's nest
And gaze and gaze. tin the moon f8A
with ~ irised aureoa sleeps on her brow
NV Isis Thy vision departed t0csQpn.
For gaze; and gaze on thy vacancy now ~,
OF beautiful child of beautiful dav
There a beautiful song on tlv syllable lip.
But it sings Of the breaker that bois in the bay,
And II dhges the dosm of dosoate shipl
I.ost--lost long agol and she dreams Ter tle SEQ,
Where the ride Saxon daisies above her Rave hlowi
I know that the Angels arc angry with me. F
For the woman Is dead that my spirit bath knows
