+ODE POUR SELECTION DE SON SEPULCHRE
+
+FOR three years, out of key with his time,
+He strove to resuscitate the dead art
+Of poetry; to maintain "the sublime"
+In the old sense. Wrong from the start--
+
+No hardly, but, seeing he had been born
+In a half savage country, out of date;
+Bent resolutely on wringing lilies from the acorn;
+Capaneus; trout for factitious bait;
+
+_ἴδμεν γάρ τοι πάν πάνθ', όσ' ένι Τροίη_
+Caught in the unstopped ear;
+Giving the rocks small lee-way
+The chopped seas held him, therefore, that year.
+
+His true Penelope was Flaubert,
+He fished by obstinate isles;
+Observed the elegance of Circe's hair
+Rather than the mottoes on sun-dials.
+
+Unaffected by "the march of events,"
+He passed from men's memory in _l'an trentiesme
+De son eage_; the case presents
+No adjunct to the Muses' diadem.
+
+
+II.
+
+THE age demanded an image
+Of its accelerated grimace,
+Something for the modern stage,
+Not, at any rate, an Attic grace;
+
+Not, not certainly, the obscure reveries
+Of the inward gaze;
+Better mendacities
+Than the classics in paraphrase!
+
+The "age demanded" chiefly a mould in plaster,
+Made with no loss of time,
+A prose kinema, not, not assuredly, alabaster
+Or the "sculpture" of rhyme.
+
+
+III.
+
+THE tea-rose tea-gown, etc.
+Supplants the mousseline of Cos,
+The pianola "replaces"
+Sappho's barbitos.
+
+Christ follows Dionysus,
+Phallic and ambrosial
+Made way for macerations;
+Caliban casts out Ariel.
+
+All things are a flowing,
+Sage Heracleitus says;
+But a tawdry cheapness
+Shall reign throughout our days.
+
+Even the Christian beauty
+Defects--after Samothrace;
+We see _το καλόν_
+Decreed in the market place.
+
+Faun's flesh is not to us,
+Nor the saint's vision.
+We have the press for wafer;
+Franchise for circumcision.
+
+All men, in law, are equals.
+Free of Peisistratus,
+We choose a knave or an eunuch
+To rule over us.
+
+O bright Apollo,
+_τίν' άνδρα, τίν' ήρωα, τίνα θεον_,
+What god, man, or hero
+Shall I place a tin wreath upon!
+
+
+IV.
+
+THESE fought, in any case,
+and some believing, pro domo, in any case . .
+Some quick to arm,
+some for adventure,
+some from fear of weakness,
+some from fear of censure,
+some for love of slaughter, in imagination,
+learning later . . .
+
+some in fear, learning love of slaughter;
+Died some "pro patria, non dulce non et decor". .
+
+walked eye-deep in hell
+believing in old men's lies, then unbelieving
+came home, home to a lie,
+home to many deceits,
+home to old lies and new infamy;
+
+usury age-old and age-thick
+and liars in public places.
+
+Daring as never before, wastage as never before.
+Young blood and high blood,
+Fair cheeks, and fine bodies;
+
+fortitude as never before
+
+frankness as never before,
+disillusions as never told in the old days,
+hysterias, trench confessions,
+laughter out of dead bellies.
+
+
+V.
+
+THERE died a myriad,
+And of the best, among them,
+For an old bitch gone in the teeth,
+For a botched civilization,
+
+Charm, smiling at the good mouth,
+Quick eyes gone under earth's lid,
+
+For two gross of broken statues,
+For a few thousand battered books.
+
+
+YEUX GLAUQUES
+
+GLADSTONE was still respected,
+When John Ruskin produced
+"Kings Treasuries"; Swinburne
+And Rossetti still abused.
+
+Fœtid Buchanan lifted up his voice
+When that faun's head of hers
+Became a pastime for
+Painters and adulterers.
+
+The Burne-Jones cartons
+Have preserved her eyes;
+Still, at the Tate, they teach
+Cophetua to rhapsodize;
+
+Thin like brook-water,
+With a vacant gaze.
+The English Rubaiyat was still-born
+In those days.
+
+The thin, clear gaze, the same
+Still darts out faun-like from the half-ruin'd fac
+Questing and passive ....
+"Ah, poor Jenny's case"...
+
+Bewildered that a world
+Shows no surprise
+At her last maquero's
+Adulteries.
+
+
+"SIENA MI FE', DISFECEMI MAREMMA"
+
+AMONG the pickled foetuses and bottled bones,
+Engaged in perfecting the catalogue,
+I found the last scion of the
+Senatorial families of Strasbourg, Monsieur Verog.
+
+For two hours he talked of Gallifet;
+Of Dowson; of the Rhymers' Club;
+Told me how Johnson (Lionel) died
+By falling from a high stool in a pub . . .
+
+But showed no trace of alcohol
+At the autopsy, privately performed--
+Tissue preserved--the pure mind
+Arose toward Newman as the whiskey warmed.
+
+Dowson found harlots cheaper than hotels;
+Headlam for uplift; Image impartially imbued
+With raptures for Bacchus, Terpsichore and the Church.
+So spoke the author of "The Dorian Mood",
+
+M. Verog, out of step with the decade,
+Detached from his contemporaries,
+Neglected by the young,
+Because of these reveries.
+
+
+BRENNBAUM.
+
+THE sky-like limpid eyes,
+The circular infant's face,
+The stiffness from spats to collar
+Never relaxing into grace;
+
+The heavy memories of Horeb, Sinai and the forty years,
+Showed only when the daylight fell
+Level across the face
+Of Brennbaum "The Impeccable".
+
+
+MR. NIXON
+
+IN the cream gilded cabin of his steam yacht
+Mr. Nixon advised me kindly, to advance with fewer
+Dangers of delay. "Consider
+ "Carefully the reviewer.
+
+"I was as poor as you are;
+"When I began I got, of course,
+"Advance on royalties, fifty at first", said Mr. Nixon,
+"Follow me, and take a column,
+"Even if you have to work free.
+
+"Butter reviewers. From fifty to three hundred
+"I rose in eighteen months;
+"The hardest nut I had to crack
+"Was Dr. Dundas.
+
+"I never mentioned a man but with the view
+"Of selling my own works.
+"The tip's a good one, as for literature
+"It gives no man a sinecure."
+
+And no one knows, at sight a masterpiece.
+And give up verse, my boy,
+There's nothing in it.
+
+ * * *
+
+Likewise a friend of Bloughram's once advised me:
+Don't kick against the pricks,
+Accept opinion. The "Nineties" tried your game
+And died, there's nothing in it.
+
+
+X.
+
+BENEATH the sagging roof
+The stylist has taken shelter,
+Unpaid, uncelebrated,
+At last from the world's welter
+
+Nature receives him,
+With a placid and uneducated mistress
+He exercises his talents
+And the soil meets his distress.
+
+The haven from sophistications and contentions
+Leaks through its thatch;
+He offers succulent cooking;
+The door has a creaking latch.
+
+
+XI.
+
+"CONSERVATRIX of Milésien"
+Habits of mind and feeling,
+Possibly. But in Ealing
+With the most bank-clerkly of Englishmen?
+
+No, "Milésien" is an exaggeration.
+No instinct has survived in her
+Older than those her grandmother
+Told her would fit her station.
+
+
+XII.
+
+"DAPHNE with her thighs in bark
+Stretches toward me her leafy hands",--
+Subjectively. In the stuffed-satin drawing-room
+I await The Lady Valentine's commands,
+
+Knowing my coat has never been
+Of precisely the fashion
+To stimulate, in her,
+A durable passion;
+
+Doubtful, somewhat, of the value
+Of well-gowned approbation
+Of literary effort,
+But never of The Lady Valentine's vocation:
+
+Poetry, her border of ideas,
+The edge, uncertain, but a means of blending
+With other strata
+Where the lower and higher have ending;
+
+A hook to catch the Lady Jane's attention,
+A modulation toward the theatre,
+Also, in the case of revolution,
+A possible friend and comforter.
+
+ * * *
+
+Conduct, on the other hand, the soul
+"Which the highest cultures have nourished"
+To Fleet St. where
+Dr. Johnson flourished;
+
+Beside this thoroughfare
+The sale of half-hose has
+Long since superseded the cultivation
+Of Pierian roses.
+
+
+ENVOI (1919)
+
+GO, dumb-born book,
+Tell her that sang me once that song of Lawes;
+Hadst thou but song
+As thou hast subjects known,
+Then were there cause in thee that should condone
+Even my faults that heavy upon me lie
+And build her glories their longevity.
+
+Tell her that sheds
+Such treasure in the air,
+Recking naught else but that her graces give
+Life to the moment,
+I would bid them live
+As roses might, in magic amber laid,
+Red overwrought with orange and all made
+One substance and one colour
+Braving time.
+
+Tell her that goes
+With song upon her lips
+But sings not out the song, nor knows
+The maker of it, some other mouth,
+May be as fair as hers,
+Might, in new ages, gain her worshippers,
+When our two dusts with Waller's shall be laid,
+Siftings on siftings in oblivion,
+Till change hath broken down
+All things save Beauty alone.

+
+TURNED from the "eau-forte
+Par Jaquemart"
+To the strait head
+Of Mcssalina:
+
+"His true Penelope
+Was Flaubert",
+And his tool
+The engraver's
+
+Firmness,
+Not the full smile,
+His art, but an art
+In profile;
+
+Colourless
+Pier Francesca,
+Pisanello lacking the skill

+ _"Qu'est ce qu'ils savent de l'amour, et
+ gu'est ce qu'ils peuvent comprendre?
+ S'ils ne comprennent pas la poèsie,
+ s'ils ne sentent pas la musique, qu'est ce
+ qu'ils peuvent comprendre de cette pas-
+ sion en comparaison avec laquelle la rose
+ est grossière et le parfum des violettes un
+ tonnerre?"_ CAID ALI
+
+FOR three years, diabolus in the scale,
+He drank ambrosia,
+All passes, ANANGKE prevails,
+Came end, at last, to that Arcadia.
+
+He had moved amid her phantasmagoria,
+Amid her galaxies,
+NUKTIS AGALMA
+
+Drifted....drifted precipitate,
+Asking time to be rid of....
+Of his bewilderment; to designate
+His new found orchid....
+
+To be certain....certain...
+(Amid aerial flowers)..time for arrangements--
+Drifted on
+To the final estrangement;
+
+Unable in the supervening blankness
+To sift TO AGATHON from the chaff
+Until he found his seive...
+Ultimately, his seismograph:
+
+--Given, that is, his urge
+To convey the relation
+Of eye-lid and cheek-bone
+By verbal manifestation;
+
+To present the series
+Of curious heads in medallion--
+
+He had passed, inconscient, full gaze,
+The wide-banded irises
+And botticellian sprays implied
+In their diastasis;
+
+Which anæsthesis, noted a year late,
+And weighed, revealed his great affect,
+(Orchid), mandate
+Of Eros, a retrospect.
+
+ . . .
+
+Mouths biting empty air,
+The still stone dogs,
+Caught in metamorphosis were,
+Left him as epilogues.
+
+
+"THE AGE DEMANDED"
+
+VIDE POEM II.
+
+FOR this agility chance found
+Him of all men, unfit
+As the red-beaked steeds of
+The Cytheræan for a chain-bit.
+
+The glow of porcelain
+Brought no reforming sense
+To his perception
+Of the social inconsequence.
+
+Thus, if her colour
+Came against his gaze,
+Tempered as if
+It were through a perfect glaze
+
+He made no immediate application
+Of this to relation of the state
+To the individual, the month was more temperate
+Because this beauty had been
+ ......
+ The coral isle, the lion-coloured sand
+ Burst in upon the porcelain revery:
+ Impetuous troubling
+ Of his imagery.
+ ......
+
+Mildness, amid the neo-Neitzschean clatter,
+His sense of graduations,
+Quite out of place amid
+Resistance to current exacerbations
+
+Invitation, mere invitation to perceptivity
+Gradually led him to the isolation
+Which these presents place
+Under a more tolerant, perhaps, examination.
+
+By constant elimination
+The manifest universe
+Yielded an armour
+Against utter consternation,
+
+A Minoan undulation,
+Seen, we admit, amid ambrosial circumstances
+Strengthened him against
+The discouraging doctrine of chances
+
+And his desire for survival,
+Faint in the most strenuous moods,
+Became an Olympian _apathein_
+In the presence of selected perceptions.
+
+A pale gold, in the aforesaid pattern,
+The unexpected palms
+Destroying, certainly, the artist's urge,
+Left him delighted with the imaginary
+Audition of the phantasmal sea-surge,
+
+Incapable of the least utterance or composition,
+Emendation, conservation of the "better tradition",
+Refinement of medium, elimination of superfluities,
+August attraction or concentration.
+
+Nothing in brief, but maudlin confession
+Irresponse to human aggression,
+Amid the precipitation, down-float
+Of insubstantial manna
+Lifting the faint susurrus
+Of his subjective hosannah.
+
+Ultimate affronts to human redundancies;
+
+Non-esteem of self-styled "his betters"
+Leading, as he well knew,
+To his final
+Exclusion from the world of letters.
+
+
+ IV.
+
+SCATTERED Moluccas
+Not knowing, day to day,
+The first day's end, in the next noon;
+The placid water
+Unbroken by the Simoon;
+
+Thick foliage
+Placid beneath warm suns,
+Tawn fore-shores
+Washed in the cobalt of oblivions;
+
+Or through dawn-mist
+The grey and rose
+Of the juridical
+Flamingoes;
+
+A consciousness disjunct,
+Being but this overblotted
+Series
+Of intermittences;
+
+Coracle of Pacific voyages,
+The unforecasted beach:
+Then on an oar
+Read this:
+
+"I was
+And I no more exist;
+Here drifted
+An hedonist."
+
+
+MEDALLION
+
+LUINI in porcelain!
+The grand piano
+Utters a profane
+Protest with her clear soprano.
+
+The sleek head emerges
+From the gold-yellow frock
+As Anadyomene in the opening
+Pages of Reinach.
+
+Honey-red, closing the face-oval
+A basket-work of braids which seem as if they were
+Spun in King Minos' hall
+From metal, or intractable amber;
+
+The face-oval beneath the glaze,
+Bright in its suave bounding-line, as
+Beneath half-watt rays
+The eyes turn topaz.

+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+

+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+ODE POUR SELECTION DE SON SEPULCHRE
+
+FOR three years, out of key with his time,
+He strove to resuscitate the dead art
+Of poetry; to maintain "the sublime"
+In the old sense. Wrong from the start--
+
+No hardly, but, seeing he had been born
+In a half savage country, out of date;
+Bent resolutely on wringing lilies from the acorn;
+Capaneus; trout for factitious bait;
+
+_{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH PSILI AND OXIA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER DELTA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER MU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER GAMMA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER PI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER PI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER THETA~}', {~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA~}' {~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~} {~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA~}_
+Caught in the unstopped ear;
+Giving the rocks small lee-way
+The chopped seas held him, therefore, that year.
+
+His true Penelope was Flaubert,
+He fished by obstinate isles;
+Observed the elegance of Circe's hair
+Rather than the mottoes on sun-dials.
+
+Unaffected by "the march of events,"
+He passed from men's memory in _l'an trentiesme
+De son eage_; the case presents
+No adjunct to the Muses' diadem.
+
+
+II.
+
+THE age demanded an image
+Of its accelerated grimace,
+Something for the modern stage,
+Not, at any rate, an Attic grace;
+
+Not, not certainly, the obscure reveries
+Of the inward gaze;
+Better mendacities
+Than the classics in paraphrase!
+
+The "age demanded" chiefly a mould in plaster,
+Made with no loss of time,
+A prose kinema, not, not assuredly, alabaster
+Or the "sculpture" of rhyme.
+
+
+III.
+
+THE tea-rose tea-gown, etc.
+Supplants the mousseline of Cos,
+The pianola "replaces"
+Sappho's barbitos.
+
+Christ follows Dionysus,
+Phallic and ambrosial
+Made way for macerations;
+Caliban casts out Ariel.
+
+All things are a flowing,
+Sage Heracleitus says;
+But a tawdry cheapness
+Shall reign throughout our days.
+
+Even the Christian beauty
+Defects--after Samothrace;
+We see _{~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER KAPPA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER LAMDA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}_
+Decreed in the market place.
+
+Faun's flesh is not to us,
+Nor the saint's vision.
+We have the press for wafer;
+Franchise for circumcision.
+
+All men, in law, are equals.
+Free of Peisistratus,
+We choose a knave or an eunuch
+To rule over us.
+
+O bright Apollo,
+_{~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}' {~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER DELTA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}, {~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}' {~GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}, {~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER THETA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}_,
+What god, man, or hero
+Shall I place a tin wreath upon!
+
+
+IV.
+
+THESE fought, in any case,
+and some believing, pro domo, in any case . .
+Some quick to arm,
+some for adventure,
+some from fear of weakness,
+some from fear of censure,
+some for love of slaughter, in imagination,
+learning later . . .
+
+some in fear, learning love of slaughter;
+Died some "pro patria, non dulce non et decor". .
+
+walked eye-deep in hell
+believing in old men's lies, then unbelieving
+came home, home to a lie,
+home to many deceits,
+home to old lies and new infamy;
+
+usury age-old and age-thick
+and liars in public places.
+
+Daring as never before, wastage as never before.
+Young blood and high blood,
+Fair cheeks, and fine bodies;
+
+fortitude as never before
+
+frankness as never before,
+disillusions as never told in the old days,
+hysterias, trench confessions,
+laughter out of dead bellies.
+
+
+V.
+
+THERE died a myriad,
+And of the best, among them,
+For an old bitch gone in the teeth,
+For a botched civilization,
+
+Charm, smiling at the good mouth,
+Quick eyes gone under earth's lid,
+
+For two gross of broken statues,
+For a few thousand battered books.
+
+
+YEUX GLAUQUES
+
+GLADSTONE was still respected,
+When John Ruskin produced
+"Kings Treasuries"; Swinburne
+And Rossetti still abused.
+
+Foetid Buchanan lifted up his voice
+When that faun's head of hers
+Became a pastime for
+Painters and adulterers.
+
+The Burne-Jones cartons
+Have preserved her eyes;
+Still, at the Tate, they teach
+Cophetua to rhapsodize;
+
+Thin like brook-water,
+With a vacant gaze.
+The English Rubaiyat was still-born
+In those days.
+
+The thin, clear gaze, the same
+Still darts out faun-like from the half-ruin'd fac
+Questing and passive ....
+"Ah, poor Jenny's case"...
+
+Bewildered that a world
+Shows no surprise
+At her last maquero's
+Adulteries.
+
+
+"SIENA MI FE', DISFECEMI MAREMMA"
+
+AMONG the pickled foetuses and bottled bones,
+Engaged in perfecting the catalogue,
+I found the last scion of the
+Senatorial families of Strasbourg, Monsieur Verog.
+
+For two hours he talked of Gallifet;
+Of Dowson; of the Rhymers' Club;
+Told me how Johnson (Lionel) died
+By falling from a high stool in a pub . . .
+
+But showed no trace of alcohol
+At the autopsy, privately performed--
+Tissue preserved--the pure mind
+Arose toward Newman as the whiskey warmed.
+
+Dowson found harlots cheaper than hotels;
+Headlam for uplift; Image impartially imbued
+With raptures for Bacchus, Terpsichore and the Church.
+So spoke the author of "The Dorian Mood",
+
+M. Verog, out of step with the decade,
+Detached from his contemporaries,
+Neglected by the young,
+Because of these reveries.
+
+
+BRENNBAUM.
+
+THE sky-like limpid eyes,
+The circular infant's face,
+The stiffness from spats to collar
+Never relaxing into grace;
+
+The heavy memories of Horeb, Sinai and the forty years,
+Showed only when the daylight fell
+Level across the face
+Of Brennbaum "The Impeccable".
+
+
+MR. NIXON
+
+IN the cream gilded cabin of his steam yacht
+Mr. Nixon advised me kindly, to advance with fewer
+Dangers of delay. "Consider
+ "Carefully the reviewer.
+
+"I was as poor as you are;
+"When I began I got, of course,
+"Advance on royalties, fifty at first", said Mr. Nixon,
+"Follow me, and take a column,
+"Even if you have to work free.
+
+"Butter reviewers. From fifty to three hundred
+"I rose in eighteen months;
+"The hardest nut I had to crack
+"Was Dr. Dundas.
+
+"I never mentioned a man but with the view
+"Of selling my own works.
+"The tip's a good one, as for literature
+"It gives no man a sinecure."
+
+And no one knows, at sight a masterpiece.
+And give up verse, my boy,
+There's nothing in it.
+
+ * * *
+
+Likewise a friend of Bloughram's once advised me:
+Don't kick against the pricks,
+Accept opinion. The "Nineties" tried your game
+And died, there's nothing in it.
+
+
+X.
+
+BENEATH the sagging roof
+The stylist has taken shelter,
+Unpaid, uncelebrated,
+At last from the world's welter
+
+Nature receives him,
+With a placid and uneducated mistress
+He exercises his talents
+And the soil meets his distress.
+
+The haven from sophistications and contentions
+Leaks through its thatch;
+He offers succulent cooking;
+The door has a creaking latch.
+
+
+XI.
+
+"CONSERVATRIX of Milsien"
+Habits of mind and feeling,
+Possibly. But in Ealing
+With the most bank-clerkly of Englishmen?
+
+No, "Milsien" is an exaggeration.
+No instinct has survived in her
+Older than those her grandmother
+Told her would fit her station.
+
+
+XII.
+
+"DAPHNE with her thighs in bark
+Stretches toward me her leafy hands",--
+Subjectively. In the stuffed-satin drawing-room
+I await The Lady Valentine's commands,
+
+Knowing my coat has never been
+Of precisely the fashion
+To stimulate, in her,
+A durable passion;
+
+Doubtful, somewhat, of the value
+Of well-gowned approbation
+Of literary effort,
+But never of The Lady Valentine's vocation:
+
+Poetry, her border of ideas,
+The edge, uncertain, but a means of blending
+With other strata
+Where the lower and higher have ending;
+
+A hook to catch the Lady Jane's attention,
+A modulation toward the theatre,
+Also, in the case of revolution,
+A possible friend and comforter.
+
+ * * *
+
+Conduct, on the other hand, the soul
+"Which the highest cultures have nourished"
+To Fleet St. where
+Dr. Johnson flourished;
+
+Beside this thoroughfare
+The sale of half-hose has
+Long since superseded the cultivation
+Of Pierian roses.
+
+
+ENVOI (1919)
+
+GO, dumb-born book,
+Tell her that sang me once that song of Lawes;
+Hadst thou but song
+As thou hast subjects known,
+Then were there cause in thee that should condone
+Even my faults that heavy upon me lie
+And build her glories their longevity.
+
+Tell her that sheds
+Such treasure in the air,
+Recking naught else but that her graces give
+Life to the moment,
+I would bid them live
+As roses might, in magic amber laid,
+Red overwrought with orange and all made
+One substance and one colour
+Braving time.
+
+Tell her that goes
+With song upon her lips
+But sings not out the song, nor knows
+The maker of it, some other mouth,
+May be as fair as hers,
+Might, in new ages, gain her worshippers,
+When our two dusts with Waller's shall be laid,
+Siftings on siftings in oblivion,
+Till change hath broken down
+All things save Beauty alone.

+
+TURNED from the "eau-forte
+Par Jaquemart"
+To the strait head
+Of Mcssalina:
+
+"His true Penelope
+Was Flaubert",
+And his tool
+The engraver's
+
+Firmness,
+Not the full smile,
+His art, but an art
+In profile;
+
+Colourless
+Pier Francesca,
+Pisanello lacking the skill
+To forge Achaia.

+
+FOR three years, diabolus in the scale,
+He drank ambrosia,
+All passes, ANANGKE prevails,
+Came end, at last, to that Arcadia.
+
+He had moved amid her phantasmagoria,
+Amid her galaxies,
+NUKTIS AGALMA
+
+Drifted....drifted precipitate,
+Asking time to be rid of....
+Of his bewilderment; to designate
+His new found orchid....
+
+To be certain....certain...
+(Amid aerial flowers)..time for arrangements--
+Drifted on
+To the final estrangement;
+
+Unable in the supervening blankness
+To sift TO AGATHON from the chaff
+Until he found his seive...
+Ultimately, his seismograph:
+
+--Given, that is, his urge
+To convey the relation
+Of eye-lid and cheek-bone
+By verbal manifestation;
+
+To present the series
+Of curious heads in medallion--
+
+He had passed, inconscient, full gaze,
+The wide-banded irises
+And botticellian sprays implied
+In their diastasis;
+
+Which ansthesis, noted a year late,
+And weighed, revealed his great affect,
+(Orchid), mandate
+Of Eros, a retrospect.
+
+ . . .

+Mouths biting empty air,
+The still stone dogs,
+Caught in metamorphosis were,
+Left him as epilogues.

+
+"THE AGE DEMANDED"
+
+VIDE POEM II.
+
+FOR this agility chance found
+Him of all men, unfit
+As the red-beaked steeds of
+The Cytheran for a chain-bit.
+
+The glow of porcelain
+Brought no reforming sense
+To his perception
+Of the social inconsequence.
+
+Thus, if her colour
+Came against his gaze,
+Tempered as if
+It were through a perfect glaze
+
+He made no immediate application
+Of this to relation of the state
+To the individual, the month was more temperate
+Because this beauty had been
+ ......
+ The coral isle, the lion-coloured sand
+ Burst in upon the porcelain revery:
+ Impetuous troubling
+ Of his imagery.
+ ......
+
+Mildness, amid the neo-Neitzschean clatter,
+His sense of graduations,
+Quite out of place amid
+Resistance to current exacerbations
+
+Invitation, mere invitation to perceptivity
+Gradually led him to the isolation
+Which these presents place
+Under a more tolerant, perhaps, examination.
+
+By constant elimination
+The manifest universe
+Yielded an armour
+Against utter consternation,
+
+A Minoan undulation,
+Seen, we admit, amid ambrosial circumstances
+Strengthened him against
+The discouraging doctrine of chances
+
+And his desire for survival,
+Faint in the most strenuous moods,
+Became an Olympian _apathein_
+In the presence of selected perceptions.
+
+A pale gold, in the aforesaid pattern,
+The unexpected palms
+Destroying, certainly, the artist's urge,
+Left him delighted with the imaginary
+Audition of the phantasmal sea-surge,
+
+Incapable of the least utterance or composition,
+Emendation, conservation of the "better tradition",
+Refinement of medium, elimination of superfluities,
+August attraction or concentration.
+
+Nothing in brief, but maudlin confession
+Irresponse to human aggression,
+Amid the precipitation, down-float
+Of insubstantial manna
+Lifting the faint susurrus
+Of his subjective hosannah.
+
+Ultimate affronts to human redundancies;
+
+Non-esteem of self-styled "his betters"
+Leading, as he well knew,
+To his final
+Exclusion from the world of letters.

+SCATTERED Moluccas
+Not knowing, day to day,
+The first day's end, in the next noon;
+The placid water
+Unbroken by the Simoon;
+
+Thick foliage
+Placid beneath warm suns,
+Tawn fore-shores
+Washed in the cobalt of oblivions;
+
+Or through dawn-mist
+The grey and rose
+Of the juridical
+Flamingoes;
+
+A consciousness disjunct,
+Being but this overblotted

+Of intermittences;

+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to

+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works

+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+ the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+ you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is
+ owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+ has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+ Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+ returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+ sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+ address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+ the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+ License. You must require such a user to return or
+ destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+ and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+ Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+ money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+ electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+ of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+ distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+ Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+ Chief Executive and Director
+ gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+ODE POUR SELECTION DE SON SEPULCHRE
+
+FOR three years, out of key with his time,
+He strove to resuscitate the dead art
+Of poetry; to maintain "the sublime"
+In the old sense. Wrong from the start--
+
+No hardly, but, seeing he had been born
+In a half savage country, out of date;
+Bent resolutely on wringing lilies from the acorn;
+Capaneus; trout for factitious bait;
+
+_{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH PSILI AND OXIA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER DELTA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER MU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER GAMMA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER PI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER PI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER THETA~}', {~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA~}' {~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~} {~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA~}_
+Caught in the unstopped ear;
+Giving the rocks small lee-way
+The chopped seas held him, therefore, that year.
+
+His true Penelope was Flaubert,
+He fished by obstinate isles;
+Observed the elegance of Circe's hair
+Rather than the mottoes on sun-dials.
+
+Unaffected by "the march of events,"
+He passed from men's memory in _l'an trentiesme
+De son eage_; the case presents
+No adjunct to the Muses' diadem.
+
+
+II.
+
+THE age demanded an image
+Of its accelerated grimace,
+Something for the modern stage,
+Not, at any rate, an Attic grace;
+
+Not, not certainly, the obscure reveries
+Of the inward gaze;
+Better mendacities
+Than the classics in paraphrase!
+
+The "age demanded" chiefly a mould in plaster,
+Made with no loss of time,
+A prose kinema, not, not assuredly, alabaster
+Or the "sculpture" of rhyme.
+
+
+III.
+
+THE tea-rose tea-gown, etc.
+Supplants the mousseline of Cos,
+The pianola "replaces"
+Sappho's barbitos.
+
+Christ follows Dionysus,
+Phallic and ambrosial
+Made way for macerations;
+Caliban casts out Ariel.
+
+All things are a flowing,
+Sage Heracleitus says;
+But a tawdry cheapness
+Shall reign throughout our days.
+
+Even the Christian beauty
+Defects--after Samothrace;
+We see _{~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER KAPPA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER LAMDA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}_
+Decreed in the market place.
+
+Faun's flesh is not to us,
+Nor the saint's vision.
+We have the press for wafer;
+Franchise for circumcision.
+
+All men, in law, are equals.
+Free of Peisistratus,
+We choose a knave or an eunuch
+To rule over us.
+
+O bright Apollo,
+_{~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}' {~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER DELTA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}, {~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}' {~GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}, {~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER THETA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}_,
+What god, man, or hero
+Shall I place a tin wreath upon!
+
+
+IV.
+
+THESE fought, in any case,
+and some believing, pro domo, in any case . .
+Some quick to arm,
+some for adventure,
+some from fear of weakness,
+some from fear of censure,
+some for love of slaughter, in imagination,
+learning later . . .
+
+some in fear, learning love of slaughter;
+Died some "pro patria, non dulce non et decor". .
+
+walked eye-deep in hell
+believing in old men's lies, then unbelieving
+came home, home to a lie,
+home to many deceits,
+home to old lies and new infamy;
+
+usury age-old and age-thick
+and liars in public places.
+
+Daring as never before, wastage as never before.
+Young blood and high blood,
+Fair cheeks, and fine bodies;
+
+fortitude as never before
+
+frankness as never before,
+disillusions as never told in the old days,
+hysterias, trench confessions,
+laughter out of dead bellies.
+
+
+V.
+
+THERE died a myriad,
+And of the best, among them,
+For an old bitch gone in the teeth,
+For a botched civilization,
+
+Charm, smiling at the good mouth,
+Quick eyes gone under earth's lid,
+
+For two gross of broken statues,
+For a few thousand battered books.
+
+
+YEUX GLAUQUES
+
+GLADSTONE was still respected,
+When John Ruskin produced
+"Kings Treasuries"; Swinburne
+And Rossetti still abused.
+
+Foetid Buchanan lifted up his voice
+When that faun's head of hers
+Became a pastime for
+Painters and adulterers.
+
+The Burne-Jones cartons
+Have preserved her eyes;
+Still, at the Tate, they teach
+Cophetua to rhapsodize;
+
+Thin like brook-water,
+With a vacant gaze.
+The English Rubaiyat was still-born
+In those days.
+
+The thin, clear gaze, the same
+Still darts out faun-like from the half-ruin'd fac
+Questing and passive ....
+"Ah, poor Jenny's case"...
+
+Bewildered that a world
+Shows no surprise
+At her last maquero's
+Adulteries.
+
+
+"SIENA MI FE', DISFECEMI MAREMMA"
+
+AMONG the pickled foetuses and bottled bones,
+Engaged in perfecting the catalogue,
+I found the last scion of the
+Senatorial families of Strasbourg, Monsieur Verog.
+
+For two hours he talked of Gallifet;
+Of Dowson; of the Rhymers' Club;
+Told me how Johnson (Lionel) died
+By falling from a high stool in a pub . . .
+
+But showed no trace of alcohol
+At the autopsy, privately performed--
+Tissue preserved--the pure mind
+Arose toward Newman as the whiskey warmed.
+
+Dowson found harlots cheaper than hotels;
+Headlam for uplift; Image impartially imbued
+With raptures for Bacchus, Terpsichore and the Church.
+So spoke the author of "The Dorian Mood",
+
+M. Verog, out of step with the decade,
+Detached from his contemporaries,
+Neglected by the young,
+Because of these reveries.
+
+
+BRENNBAUM.
+
+THE sky-like limpid eyes,
+The circular infant's face,
+The stiffness from spats to collar
+Never relaxing into grace;
+
+The heavy memories of Horeb, Sinai and the forty years,
+Showed only when the daylight fell
+Level across the face
+Of Brennbaum "The Impeccable".
+
+
+MR. NIXON
+
+IN the cream gilded cabin of his steam yacht
+Mr. Nixon advised me kindly, to advance with fewer
+Dangers of delay. "Consider
+ "Carefully the reviewer.
+
+"I was as poor as you are;
+"When I began I got, of course,
+"Advance on royalties, fifty at first", said Mr. Nixon,
+"Follow me, and take a column,
+"Even if you have to work free.
+
+"Butter reviewers. From fifty to three hundred
+"I rose in eighteen months;
+"The hardest nut I had to crack
+"Was Dr. Dundas.
+
+"I never mentioned a man but with the view
+"Of selling my own works.
+"The tip's a good one, as for literature
+"It gives no man a sinecure."
+
+And no one knows, at sight a masterpiece.
+And give up verse, my boy,
+There's nothing in it.
+
+ * * *
+
+Likewise a friend of Bloughram's once advised me:
+Don't kick against the pricks,
+Accept opinion. The "Nineties" tried your game
+And died, there's nothing in it.
+
+
+X.
+
+BENEATH the sagging roof
+The stylist has taken shelter,
+Unpaid, uncelebrated,
+At last from the world's welter
+
+Nature receives him,
+With a placid and uneducated mistress
+He exercises his talents
+And the soil meets his distress.
+
+The haven from sophistications and contentions
+Leaks through its thatch;
+He offers succulent cooking;
+The door has a creaking latch.
+
+
+XI.
+
+"CONSERVATRIX of Milesien"
+Habits of mind and feeling,
+Possibly. But in Ealing
+With the most bank-clerkly of Englishmen?
+
+No, "Milesien" is an exaggeration.
+No instinct has survived in her
+Older than those her grandmother
+Told her would fit her station.
+
+
+XII.
+
+"DAPHNE with her thighs in bark
+Stretches toward me her leafy hands",--
+Subjectively. In the stuffed-satin drawing-room
+I await The Lady Valentine's commands,
+
+Knowing my coat has never been
+Of precisely the fashion
+To stimulate, in her,
+A durable passion;
+
+Doubtful, somewhat, of the value
+Of well-gowned approbation
+Of literary effort,
+But never of The Lady Valentine's vocation:
+
+Poetry, her border of ideas,
+The edge, uncertain, but a means of blending
+With other strata
+Where the lower and higher have ending;
+
+A hook to catch the Lady Jane's attention,
+A modulation toward the theatre,
+Also, in the case of revolution,
+A possible friend and comforter.
+
+ * * *
+
+Conduct, on the other hand, the soul
+"Which the highest cultures have nourished"
+To Fleet St. where
+Dr. Johnson flourished;
+
+Beside this thoroughfare
+The sale of half-hose has
+Long since superseded the cultivation
+Of Pierian roses.
+
+
+ENVOI (1919)
+
+GO, dumb-born book,
+Tell her that sang me once that song of Lawes;
+Hadst thou but song
+As thou hast subjects known,
+Then were there cause in thee that should condone
+Even my faults that heavy upon me lie
+And build her glories their longevity.
+
+Tell her that sheds
+Such treasure in the air,
+Recking naught else but that her graces give
+Life to the moment,
+I would bid them live
+As roses might, in magic amber laid,
+Red overwrought with orange and all made
+One substance and one colour
+Braving time.
+
+Tell her that goes
+With song upon her lips
+But sings not out the song, nor knows
+The maker of it, some other mouth,
+May be as fair as hers,
+Might, in new ages, gain her worshippers,
+When our two dusts with Waller's shall be laid,
+Siftings on siftings in oblivion,
+Till change hath broken down
+All things save Beauty alone.

+To the strait head
+Of Mcssalina:

+"His true Penelope

+And his tool
+The engraver's

+
+FOR three years, diabolus in the scale,
+He drank ambrosia,
+All passes, ANANGKE prevails,
+Came end, at last, to that Arcadia.
+
+He had moved amid her phantasmagoria,
+Amid her galaxies,
+NUKTIS AGALMA
+
+Drifted....drifted precipitate,
+Asking time to be rid of....
+Of his bewilderment; to designate
+His new found orchid....
+
+To be certain....certain...
+(Amid aerial flowers)..time for arrangements--
+Drifted on
+To the final estrangement;
+
+Unable in the supervening blankness
+To sift TO AGATHON from the chaff
+Until he found his seive...
+Ultimately, his seismograph:
+
+--Given, that is, his urge
+To convey the relation
+Of eye-lid and cheek-bone
+By verbal manifestation;
+
+To present the series
+Of curious heads in medallion--
+
+He had passed, inconscient, full gaze,
+The wide-banded irises
+And botticellian sprays implied
+In their diastasis;
+
+Which anaesthesis, noted a year late,
+And weighed, revealed his great affect,
+(Orchid), mandate
+Of Eros, a retrospect.
+
+ . . .
+
+Mouths biting empty air,
+The still stone dogs,
+Caught in metamorphosis were,
+Left him as epilogues.

+
+"THE AGE DEMANDED"
+
+VIDE POEM II.
+
+FOR this agility chance found
+Him of all men, unfit
+As the red-beaked steeds of
+The Cytheraean for a chain-bit.
+
+The glow of porcelain
+Brought no reforming sense
+To his perception
+Of the social inconsequence.
+
+Thus, if her colour
+Came against his gaze,
+Tempered as if
+It were through a perfect glaze
+
+He made no immediate application
+Of this to relation of the state
+To the individual, the month was more temperate
+Because this beauty had been
+ ......
+ The coral isle, the lion-coloured sand
+ Burst in upon the porcelain revery:
+ Impetuous troubling
+ Of his imagery.
+ ......
+
+Mildness, amid the neo-Neitzschean clatter,
+His sense of graduations,
+Quite out of place amid
+Resistance to current exacerbations
+
+Invitation, mere invitation to perceptivity
+Gradually led him to the isolation
+Which these presents place
+Under a more tolerant, perhaps, examination.
+
+By constant elimination
+The manifest universe
+Yielded an armour
+Against utter consternation,
+
+A Minoan undulation,
+Seen, we admit, amid ambrosial circumstances
+Strengthened him against
+The discouraging doctrine of chances
+
+And his desire for survival,
+Faint in the most strenuous moods,
+Became an Olympian _apathein_
+In the presence of selected perceptions.
+
+A pale gold, in the aforesaid pattern,
+The unexpected palms
+Destroying, certainly, the artist's urge,
+Left him delighted with the imaginary
+Audition of the phantasmal sea-surge,
+
+Incapable of the least utterance or composition,
+Emendation, conservation of the "better tradition",
+Refinement of medium, elimination of superfluities,
+August attraction or concentration.
+
+Nothing in brief, but maudlin confession
+Irresponse to human aggression,
+Amid the precipitation, down-float
+Of insubstantial manna
+Lifting the faint susurrus
+Of his subjective hosannah.
+
+Ultimate affronts to human redundancies;
+
+Non-esteem of self-styled "his betters"
+Leading, as he well knew,
+To his final
+Exclusion from the world of letters.

+Not knowing, day to day,
+The first day's end, in the next noon;

+Placid beneath warm suns,
+Tawn fore-shores
+Washed in the cobalt of oblivions;

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
