! THE COMING RACE
When with crisped fingers have tried TO part
| The petals which compose
The azure flower OF high aesthetic art,
More firmly did they close.
Yet woman is not undeveloped man
SO singeth TennysOn:
Desire, that ever Duty's feet outran,
Begins, but sees not done
Our life is full Of passionate dismay
At larger schemes grown small
That which thou dOest, do this very day,
Then art thou known OF all.
The thing that was ungerms the thing to be;
Before reflects Behind:
so blends our moral trgonometry
With spheroids OF the mind
Time shall transhgure many q paradox
Now crushed with hoofs OF scorn,
When in the beauty OF the holyhocks
The Coming Man is born.
His hand the new Evangels then shall hold,
That make earth epicene,
And on his shoulder cOified with chrisma gold,
The Coming Woman lean!
