The rain fell like a sick affright -Of Nature at her work in killing him. -Memory of what he was gave no delight, -Delight at what he was dead and dim. - -O hands that once had clasped Hadrian's warm hands, -Whose cold now found them cold! -O hair bound erstwhile with the pressing bands! -O eyes half-diffidently bold! -O bare female male-body such -As a god's likeness to humanity! -O lips whose opening redness erst could touch -Lust's seats with a live art's variety! - -O fingers skilled in things not to be told! -O tongue which, counter-tongued, made the blood bold! -O complete regency of lust throned on -Raged consciousness's spilled suspension! -These things are things that now must be no more. -The rain is silent, and the Emperor -Sinks by the couch. His grief is like a rage, -For the gods take away the life they give -And spoil the beauty they made live. -He weeps and knows that every future age -Is looking on him out of the to-be; -His love is on a universal stage; -A thousand unborn eyes weep with his misery. - -Antinous is dead, is dead for ever, -Is dead for ever and all loves lament. -Venus herself, that was Adonis' lover, -Seeing him, that newly lived, now dead again, -Lends her old griefs renewal to be blent -With Hadrian's pain. - -Now is Apollo sad because the stealer -Of his white body is for ever cold. -No careful kisses on that nippled point -Covering his heart-beats' silent place restore -His life again to ope his eyes and feel her -Presence along his veins Love's fortress hold. -No warmth of his another's warmth demands. -Now will his hands behind his head no more -Linked, in that posture giving all but hands, -On the projected body hands implore. - -The rain falls, and he lies like one who hath -Forgotten all the gestures of his love -And lies awake waiting their hot return. -But all his arts and toys are now with Death. -This human ice no way of heat can move; -These ashes of a fire no flame can burn. - -O Hadrian, what will now thy cold life be? -What boots it to be lord of men and might? -His absence o'er thy visible empery -Comes like a night, -Nor is there morn in hopes of new delight. -Now are thy nights widowed of love and kisses; -Now are thy days robbed of the night's awaiting; -Now have thy lips no purpose for thy blisses, -Left but to speak the name that Death is mating -With solitude and sorrow and affright. - -Thy vague hands grope, as if they had dropped joy. -To hear that the rain ceases lift thy head, -And thy raised glance take to the lovely boy. -Naked he lies upon that memoried bed; -By thine own hand he lies uncovered. -There was he wont thy dangling sense to cloy, -And uncloy with more cloying, and annoy -With newer uncloying till thy senses bled. - -His hand and mouth knew games to reinstal -Desire that thy worn spine was hurt to follow. -Sometimes it seemed to thee that all was hollow -In sense in each new straining of sucked lust. -Then still new turns of toying would he call -To thy nerves' flesh, and thou wouldst tremble and fall -Back on thy cushions with thy mind's sense hushed. - -«Beautiful was my love, yet melancholy. -He had that art, that makes love captive wholly, -Of being slowly sad among lust's rages. -Now the Nile gave him up, the eternal Nile. -Under his wet locks Death's blue paleness wages -Now war upon our wishing with sad smile.» - -Even as he thinks, the lust that is no more -Than a memory of lust revives and takes -His senses by the hand, his felt flesh wakes, -And all becomes again what 'twas before. -The dead body on the bed starts up and lives -And comes to lie with him, close, closer, and -A creeping love-wise and invisible hand -At every body-entrance to his lust -Whispers caresses which flit off yet just -Remain enough to bleed his last nerve's strand, -O sweet and cruel Parthian fugitives! - -So he half rises, looking on his lover, -That now can love nothing but what none know. -Vaguely, half-seeing what he doth behold, -He runs his cold lips all the body over. -And so ice-senseless are his lips that, lo!, -He scarce tastes death from the dead body's cold, -But it seems both are dead or living both -And love is still the presence and the mover. -Then his lips cease on the other lips' cold sloth. - -Ah, there the wanting breath reminds his lips -That from beyond the gods hath moved a mist -Between him and this boy. His finger-tips, -Still idly searching o'er the body, list -For some flesh-response to their waking mood. -But their love-question is not understood: -The god is dead whose cult was to be kissed! - -He lifts his hand up to where heaven should be -And cries on the mute gods to know his pain. -Let your calm faces turn aside to his plea, -O granting powers! He will yield up his reign. -In the still deserts he will parched live, -In the far barbarous roads beggar or slave, -But to his arms again the warm boy give! -Forego that space ye meant to be his grave! - -Take all the female loveliness of earth -And in one mound of death its remnant spill! -But, by sweet Ganymede, that Jove found worth -And above Hebe did elect to fill -His cup at his high feasting, and instil -The friendlier love that fills the other's dearth, -The clod of female embraces resolve -To dust, O father of the gods, but spare -This boy and his white body and golden hair! -Maybe thy better Ganymede thou feel'st -That he should be, and out of jealous care -From Hadrian's arms to thine his beauty steal'st. - -He was a kitten playing with lust, playing -With his own and with Hadrian's, sometimes one -And sometimes two, now linking, now undone; -Now leaving lust, now lust's high lusts delaying; -Now eyeing lust not wide, but from askance -Jumping round on lust's half-unexpectance; -Now softly gripping, then with fury holding, -Now playfully playing, now seriously, now lying -By th' side of lust looking at it, now spying -Which way to take lust in his lust's withholding. - -Thus did the hours slide from their tangled hands -And from their mixed limbs the moments slip. -Now were his arms dead leaves, now iron bands; -Now were his lips cups, now the things that sip; -Now were his eyes too closed and now too looking; -Now were his uncontinuings frenzy working; -Now were his arts a feather and now a whip. - -That love they lived as a religion -Offered to gods that come themselves to men. -Sometimes he was adorned or made to don -Half-vestures, then in statued nudity -Did imitate some god that seems to be -By marble's accurate virtue men's again. -Now was he Venus, white out of the seas; -And now was he Apollo, young and golden; -Now as Jove sate he in mock judgment over -The presence at his feet of his slaved lover; -Now was he an acted rite, by one beholden, -In ever-repositioned mysteries. - -Now he is something anyone can be. -O stark negation of the thing it is! -O golden-haired moon-cold loveliness! -Too cold! too cold! and love as cold as he! -Love through the memories of his love doth roam -As through a labyrinth, in sad madness glad, -And now calls on his name and bids him come, -And now is smiling at his imaged coming -That is i'th' heart like faces in the gloaming-- -Mere shining shadows of the forms they had. - -The rain again like a vague pain arose -And put the sense of wetness in the air. -Suddenly did the Emperor suppose -He saw this room and all in it from far. -He saw the couch, the boy, and his own frame -Cast down against the couch, and he became -A clearer presence to himself, and said -These words unuttered, save to his soul's dread: - -«I shall build thee a statue that will be -To the continued future evidence -Of my love and thy beauty and the sense -That beauty giveth of divinity. - -Though death with subtle uncovering hands remove -The apparel of life and empire from our love, -Yet its nude statue, that thou dost inspirit, -All future times, whether they will't or not, -Shall, like a gift a forcing god hath brought, -Inevitably inherit. - -«Ay, this thy statue shall I build, and set -Upon the pinnacle of being thine, that Time -By its subtle dim crime -Will fear to eat it from life, or to fret -With war's or envy's rage from bulk and stone. -Fate cannot be that! Gods themselves, that make -Things change, Fate's own hand, that doth overtake -The gods themselves with darkness, will draw back -From marring thus thy statue and my boon, -Leaving the wide world hollow with thy lack. - -«This picture of our love will bridge the ages. -It will loom white out of the past and be -Eternal, like a Roman victory, -In every heart the future will give rages -Of not being our love's contemporary. - -«Yet oh that this were needed not, and thou -Wert the red flower perfuming my life, -The garland on the brows of my delight, -The living flame on altars of my soul! -Would all this were a thing thou mightest now -Smile at from under thy death-mocking lids -And wonder that I should so put a strife -Twixt me and gods for thy lost presence bright; -Were there nought in this but my empty dole -And thy awakening smile half to condole -With what my dreaming pain to hope forbids.» - -Thus went he, like a lover who is waiting, -From place to place in his dim doubting mind. -Now was his hope a great intention fating -Its wish to being, now felt he was blind -In some point of his seen wish undefined. - -When love meets death we know not what to feel. -When death foils love we know not what to know. -Now did his doubt hope, now did his hope doubt; -Now what his wish dreamed the dream's sense did flout -And to a sullen emptiness congeal. -Then again the gods fanned love's darkening glow. - -«Thy death has given me a higher lust-- -A flesh-lust raging for eternity. -On mine imperial fate I set my trust -That the high gods, that made me emperor be, -Will not annul from a more real life -My wish that thou should'st live for e'er and stand -A fleshly presence on their better land, -More lovely yet not lovelier, for there -No things impossible our wishes mar -Nor pain our hearts with change and time and strife. - -«Love, love, my love! thou art already a god. -This thought of mine, which I a wish believe, -Is no wish, but a sight, to me allowed -By the great gods, that love and can give -To mortal hearts, under the shape of wishes-- -Of wishes having undiscovered reaches--, -A vision of the real things beyond -Our life-imprisoned life, our sense-bound sense. -Ay, what I wish thee to be thou art now -Already. Already on Olympic ground -Thou walkest and art perfect, yet art thou, -For thou needst no excess of thee to don -Perfect to be, being perfection. - -«My heart is singing like a morning bird. -A great hope from the gods comes down to me -And bids my heart to subtler sense be stirred -And think not that strange evil of thee -That to think thee mortal would be. - -«My love, my love, my god-love! Let me kiss -On thy cold lips thy hot lips now immortal, -Greeting thee at Death's portal's happiness, -For to the gods Death's portal is Life's portal. - -«Were no Olympus yet for thee, my love -Would make thee one, where thou sole god mightst prove, -And I thy sole adorer, glad to be -Thy sole adorer through infinity. -That were a universe divine enough -For love and me and what to me thou art. -To have thee is a thing made of gods' stuff -And to look on thee eternity's best part. - -«But this is true and mine own art: the god -Thou art now is a body made by me, -For, if thou art now flesh reality -Beyond where men age and night cometh still, -'Tis to my love's great making power thou owest -That life thou on thy memory bestowest -And mak'st it carnal. Had my love not held -An empire of my mighty legioned will, -Thou to gods' consort hadst not been compelled. - -«My love that found thee, when it found thee did -But find its own true body and exact look. -Therefore when now thy memory I bid -Become a god where gods are, I but move -To death's high column's top the shape it took -And set it there for vision of all love. - -«O love, my love, put up with my strong will -Of loving to Olympus, be thou there -The latest god, whose honey-coloured hair -Takes divine eyes! As thou wert on earth, still -In heaven bodifully be and roam, -A prisoner of that happiness of home, -With elder gods, while I on earth do make -A statue for thy deathlessness' seen sake. - -«Yet thy true deathless statue I shall build -Will be no stone thing, but that same regret -By which our love's eternity is willed. -One side of that is thou, as gods see thee -Now, and the other, here, thy memory. -My sorrow will make that men's god, and set -Thy naked memory on the parapet -That looks upon the seas of future times. -Some will say all our love was but our crimes; -Others against our names the knives will whet -Of their glad hate of beauty's beauty, and make -Our names a base of heap whereon to rake -The names of all our brothers with quick scorn. -Yet will our presence, like eternal Morn, -Ever return at Beauty's hour, and shine -Out of the East of Love, in light to enshrine -New gods to come, the lacking world to adorn. - -«All that thou art now is thyself and I. -Our dual presence has its unity -In that perfection of body which my love, -By loving it, became, and did from life -Raise into godness, calm above the strife -Of times, and changing passions far above. - -«But since men see more with the eyes than soul, -Still I in stone shall utter this great dole; -Still, eager that men hunger by thy presence, -I shall to marble carry this regret -That in my heart like a great star is set. -Thus, even in stone, our love shall stand so great -In thy statue of us, like a god's fate, -Our love's incarnate and discarnate essence, -That, like a trumpet reaching over seas -And going from continent to continent, -Our love shall speak its joy and woe, death-blent, -Over infinities and eternities. - -«And here, memory or statue, we shall stand, -Still the same one, as we were hand in hand -Nor felt each other's hand for feeling. -Men still will see me when thy sense they take. -The entire gods might pass, in the vast wheeling -Of the globed ages. If but for thy sake, -That, being theirs, hadst gone with their gone band, -They would return, as they had slept to wake. - -«Then the end of days when Jove were born again -And Ganymede again pour at his feast -Would see our dual soul from death released -And recreated unto joy, fear, pain-- -All that love doth contain; -Life--all the beauty that doth make a lust -Of love's own true love, at the spell amazed; -And, if our very memory wore to dust, -By some gods' race of the end of ages must -Our dual unity again be raised.» - -It rained still. But slow-treading night came in, -Closing the weary eyelids of each sense. -The very consciousness of self and soul -Grew, like a landscape through dim raining, dim. -The Emperor lay still, so still that now -He half forgot where now he lay, or whence -The sorrow that was still salt on his lips. - -All had been something very far, a scroll -Rolled up. The things he felt were like the rim -That haloes round the moon when the night weeps. - -His head was bowed into his arms, and they -On the low couch, foreign to his sense, lay. -His closed eyes seemed open to him, and seeing -The naked floor, dark, cold, sad and unmeaning. -His hurting breath was all his sense could know. -Out of the falling darkness the wind rose -And fell; a voice swooned in the courts below; -And the Emperor slept. - -The gods came now -And bore something away, no sense knows how, -On unseen arms of power and repose. - - - - -LISBON, 1915. - - - - -II - - -INSCRIPTIONS - - -I - - -We pass and dream. Earth smiles. Virtue is rare. -Age, duty, gods weigh on our conscious bliss. -Hope for the best and for the worst prepare. -That sum of purposed wisdom speaks in this. - - - - -II - - -Me, Chloe, a maid, the mighty fates have given, -Who was nought to them, to the peopled shades. -Thus the gods will. My years were but twice seven. -I am forgotten in my distant glades. - - - - -III - - -From my villa on the hill I long looked down -Upon the muttering town; -Then one day drew (life sight-sick, dull hope shed) -My toga o'er my head -(The simplest gesture being the greatest thing) -Like a raised wing. - - - - -IV - - -Not Cecrops kept my bees. My olives bore -Oil like the sun. My several herd lowed far. -The breathing traveller rested by my door. -The wet earth smells still; dead ray nostrils are. - - - - -V - - -I conquered. Far barbarians hear my name. -Men were dice in my game, -But to my throw myself did lesser come: -I threw dice, Fate the sum. - - - - -VI - - -Some were as loved, some as prizes prized. -A natural wife to the fed man my mate, -I was sufficient to whom I sufficed. -I moved, slept, bore and aged without a fate. - - - - -VII - - -I put by pleasure like an alien bowl. -Stern, separate, mine, I looked towards where gods seem. -From behind me the common shadow stole. -Dreaming that I slept not, I slept my dream. - - - - -VIII - - -Scarce five years passed ere I passed too. -Death came and took the child he found. -No god spared, or fate smiled at, so -Small hands, clutching so little round. - - - - -IX - - -There is a silence where the town was old. -Grass grows where not a memory lies below. -We that dined loud are sand. The tale is told. -The far hoofs hush. The inn's last light doth go. - - - - -X - - -We, that both lie here, loved. This denies us. -My lost hand crumbles where her breasts' lack is. -Love's known, each lover is anonymous. -We both felt fair. Kiss, for that was our kiss. - - - - -XI - - -I for my city's want fought far and fell. -I could not tell -What she did want, that knew she wanted me. -Her walls be free, -Her speech keep such as I spoke, and men die, -That she die not, as I. - - - - -XII - - -Life lived us, not we life. We, as bees sip, -Looked, talked and had. Trees grow as we did last. -We loved the gods but as we see a ship. -Never aware of being aware, we passed. - - - - -XIII - - -The work is done. The hammer is laid down. -The artisans, that built the slow-grown town, -Have been succeeded by those who still built. -All this is something lack-of-something screening. -The thought whole has no meaning -But lies by Time's wall like a pitcher spilt. - - - - -XIV - - -This covers me, that erst had the blue sky. -This soil treads me, that once I trod. My hand -Put these inscriptions here, half knowing why; -Last, and hence seeing all, of the passing band. - - - - -LISBON, 1920. - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK ENGLISH POEMS, VOLUME 01 (OF 2) *** - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the -United States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
