AGE
Why did I build my cottage on a hill Facing the sea�拭�
Why did I plan each terraced lawn to slope Down to the deep blue
billowy breast of hope�察 �Surging and sweeping�察 �laughing and leaping�察�
Tumbling its garments of foam upon the shore�察 �Rustling the sands that
know my step no more�察�I should have found a valley�察�deep and still�察�To
shelter me。
There flows the river�察�and it seems asleep So far away�察�Yet I remember
whip of wave and roar Of wind that rose and smote against the oar�察�Smote
and retreated�察 �Proud but defeated�察 �While I rejoiced and rowed into the
brine�察�Drawing on wet and heavy ´straining line The great cod quivering
from the deep As counterplay。

What is the solace of these hills and vales That rise and fall�拭�What is
there glorious in the greenwood glen�察 �Or twittering thrush or wing of
darting wren�拭�Give me the gusty�察�Raucous and rusty Call of the sea gull in
the echoing sky�察�The wild shriek of the winds that cannot die�察�Give me the
life that follows the bending sails�察�Or none at all� �

A BANQUET ONE MEMORY
FROM SOCRATES
AFTER the song the love�察�and after the love the play�察�Flute girl and
pretty boy blowing Bubbles of sparkling Wine into darkling Beards of a
former austerity�察�stern even now�察�but Fast growing Foolish�察�with less of a
stately Reserve that held them sedately。 Oh Zeus�察�what a sight� �With the
wine dripping off it�察�The grin of an ass on a bald´pated prophet。
After the feast the night�察 �and after the night the day�察 �Fool and
philosopher stirring With the day dawning�察�Stretching and yawning�察�While
in each wine´throbbing�察�desolated brain is the Wheeling and whirring Of
thousands of bats�察�that the slaking Of throats will not hinder from aching�察�
No wine for the brow that is beating to bursting�察�But water at morning is
quench for the thirsting� �

SONG
OUT of one heart the birds and I together�察 �Earth hushed in twilight�察�
Low through the live´oaks hung heavy with silver�察�Gemmed with the sky´
light�察�Under the great wet star Shaking with light�察�we jar Lute´voiced the
silence with intervaled music。
While under the margined world the slow sun lingers�察�Flaming earth's
portal�察 �Over the lilac dusk spreads his great fingers´ Earth is immortal� �
While the frail beauty dies。 Dream in the dreamer's eyes�察�All the good
gladness turns praise for the singers。
Hark�察�'tis the breath of life� �Hush� �and I need it�察�Northern�察�gigantic�察�
Questing the silences�察�herding the sudden foam Down the Atlantic�察�Leaves
from the autumn's store Shrill at my desert door�察�They and I out of one
heart that is grieving。

THE WORLDS
I SAW an idler on a summer day Piping with Iris by a dancing brook�察�
And all his world was rife with Pleasures gay�察�And languid Follies smiled
from every nook。
I saw an artist in a world of dreams�察 �His rainbow rising from his
radiant task�察 �To throw its magic prism beams O'er Fancy's changeful
masque and counter´ masque。
I saw Toilstooping underneath a world Whereon his foster´brothers
lighter tread�察 �His skyward pinions ever closer furled Before the grim
necessity of bread� �
I saw a sinner working hard to be Worthy his death´wage from the
mint of time�察�I saw a sailor�察�unto whom the sea Was hearth and hope and
love and wedding´ chime。
I saw a mother living in her child I saw a saint among his fellow
men Brave soldiery before my eyes defiled And solemn´hearted
scholarsSudden then
I cried�此 �The stars are no less neighborly In their ethereal remoteness
swung�察�Than these near human orbits wherein we Live out our lives and
speak our chosen tongue� �
;Love seek through allless there be one Least soul unlit within the
night And over all�察�the selfsame sun Give each creation light� ─�

THE RIOT
YOU may think my life is quiet。 I find it full of change�察�An ever´varied
diet�察�As piquant as 'tis strange。
Wild thoughts are always flying�察 �Like sparks across my brain�察 �Now
flashing out�察�now dying�察�To kindle soon again。
Fine fancies set me thrilling�察 �And subtle monsters creep Before my
sight unwilling�此�They even haunt my sleep。
One broad�察�perpetual riot Enfolds me night and day。 You think my life
is quiet�拭�You don't know what you say。

HUNGER
I'VE been a hopeless sinner�察 �but I understand a saint�察 �Their bend of
weary knees and their con´ tortions long and faint�察�And the endless pricks
of conscience�察�like a hundred thousand pins�察�A real perpetual penance for
imaginary sins。
I love to wander widely�察�but I understand a cell�察�Where you tell and tell
your beads because you've nothing else to tell�察�Where the crimson joy of
flesh�察�with all its wild fantastic tricks�察�Is forgotten in the blinding glory of
the crucifix。
I cannot speak for others�察�but my inmost soul is torn With a battle of
desires making all my life forlorn。 There are moments when I would
untread the paths that I have trod。 I'm a haunter of the devil�察�but I hunger
after God。

EXIT GOD
Of old our father's God was real�察�Something they almost saw�察�Which
kept them to a stern ideal And scourged them into awe。
They walked the narrow path of right Most vigilantly well�察 �Because
they feared eternal night And boiling depths of Hell。
Now Hell has wholly boiled away And God become a shade。 There is
no place for him to stay In all the world He made。
The followers of William James Still let the Lord exist�察�And call Him
by imposing names�察�A venerable list。 But nerve and muscle only count�察�
Gray matter of the brain�察 �And an astonishing amount Of inconvenient
pain。
I sometimes wish that God were back In this dark world and wide�察�For
though sonic virtues He might lack�察�He had his pleasant side。

CHAPTER ROUSSEAU
THAT odd�察 �fantastic ass�察 �Rousseau�察 �Declared himself unique。 How
men persist in doing so�察�Puzzles me more than Greek。
The sins that
