will    flourish   aloft�察  �Like    heads    of  captured     Pharisees     on   pikes�察  �Our 

contradictions   and   discrepancies�察  �And   there          are   many   more   will    hang 

themselves Upon the letter�察�seeing not in the Word The friend of all who 

fail�察�and in their faith A sword of excellence to cut them down。 

     As long as there are glasses that are dark  And there are many  we 

see   darkly   through   them�察  �All   which   have   I   conceded   and   set   down   In 

words   that   have   no   shadow。   What   is   dark   Is   dark�察  �and   we   may   not   say 

otherwise�察�Yet what may be as dark as a lost fire For one of us�察�may still 

be for another A coming gleam across the gulf of ages�察�And a way home 

from     shipwreck      to  the   shore�察   �And    so�察  �through     pangs    and    ills  and 

desperations�察�There may be light for all。 There shall be light。 As much as 

that�察�you know。 You cannot say This woman or that man will be the next 

On whom it falls�察�you are not here for that。 Your ministration is to be for 

others The firing of a rush that may for them Be soon the fire itself。 The 

few at first Are fighting for the multitude at last�察�Therefore remember what 

Gamaliel said   Before   you�察  �when   the   sick   were   lying   down   In   streets   all 

night for Peter's passing shadow。 Fight�察�and say what you feel�察�say more 

than words。 Give men to know that even their days of earth To come are 

more than ages that are gone。 Say what you feel�察�while you have time to 

say  it。   Eternity  will   answer   for   itself�察�Without   your   intercession�察  �yet   the 

way For many is a long one�察�and as dark�察�Meanwhile�察�as dreams of hell。 

See not your toil Too much�察�and if I be away from you�察�Think of me as a 

brother   to   yourselves�察  �Of   many   blemishes。   Beware   of   stoics�察  �And   give 

your left hand to grammarians�察�And when you seem�察�as many a time you 

may�察�To have no other friend than hope�察�remember That you are not the 

first�察�or yet the last。 

     The best of life�察�until we see beyond The shadows of ourselves ��and 

they are less Than even the blindest of indignant eyes Would have them�� is 

in what we do not know。   Make�察�then�察�for all your fears   a place to   sleep 

With   all   your   faded   sins�察  �nor   think   yourselves   Egregious   and   alone   for

your   defects   Of   youth   and   yesterday。   I   was   young   once�察  �And   there's   a 

question if you played the fool With a more fervid and inherent zeal Than 

I have in my story to remember�察�Or gave your necks to folly's conquering 

foot�察�Or flung yourselves with an unstudied aim�察 �Less frequently than   I。 

Never mind that。 Man's little house of days will hold enough�察�Sometimes�察�

to make him wish it were not his�察�But it will not hold all。 Things that are 

dead Are best without it�察�and they own their death By virtue of their dying。 

Let them go�察 �But think you not the world is ashes yet�察�And you have all 

the fire。 The world is here Today�察�and it may not be gone tomorrow�察�For 

there   are   millions�察  �and   there   may   be   more�察  �To   make   in   turn   a   various 

estimation Of   its old ills   and   ashes�察�and   the   traps Of   its apparent   wrath。 

Many with ears That hear not yet�察�shall have ears given to them�察�And then 

they   shall   hear   strangely。   Many   with   eyes   That   are   incredulous   of   the 

Mystery Shall yet be driven to feel�察�and then to read Where language has 

an end and is a veil�察�Not woven of our words。 Many that hate Their kind 

are soon to know that without love Their faith is but the perjured name of 

nothing。 I that have done some hating in my time See now no time for hate�察�

I that have left�察�Fading behind me like familiar lights That are to shine no 

more for my returning�察�Home�察�friends�察�and honors�察 �I that have lost all 

else For wisdom�察�and the wealth of it�察�say now To you that out of wisdom 

has come love�察�That measures and is of itself the measure Of works and 

hope and faith。 Your longest hours Are not so long that you may torture 

them And harass not yourselves�察�and the last days Are on the way that you 

prepare for them�察�And was prepared for you�察�here in a world Where you 

have    sinned    and   suffered�察  �striven   and   seen。   If  you  be   not  so  hot   for 

counting them Before they come that you consume yourselves�察�Peace may 

attend you all in these last days  And me�察�as well as you。 Yes�察�even in 

Rome。 Well�察�I have talked and rested�察�though I fear My rest has not been 

yours�察   �in  which    event�察  �Forgive    one   who    is  only   seven   leagues    From 

Caesar。 When I told you I should come�察�I did not see myself the criminal 

You contemplate�察�for seeing beyond the Law That which the Law saw not。 

But this�察�indeed�察�Was good of you�察�and I shall not forget�察�No�察�I shall not 

forget you came so far To meet a man so dangerous。 Well�察�farewell。 They 

come to tell me I am going now  With them。 I hope that we shall meet

again�察�But none may say what he shall find in Rome。

                                       Demos I 



     All you that are enamored of my name And least intent on what most I 

require�察�Beware�察�for my design and your desire�察�Deplorably�察�are not as yet 

the same。 Beware�察�I say�察�the failure and the shame Of losing that for which 

you   now   aspire   So   blindly�察  �and   of   hazarding   entire   The   gift   that   I   was 

bringing when I came。 

     Give as I will�察�I cannot give you sight Whereby to see that with you 

there   are   some   To   lead   you�察  �and   be   led。   But   they   are   dumb   Before   the 

wrangling   and   the   shrill   delight   Of   your   deliverance   that   has   not   come�察�

And shall not�察�if I fail you  as I might。

     So   little   have   you   seen   of   what   awaits   Your   fevered   glimpse   of   a 

democracy Confused and foiled with an equality Not equal to the envy it 

creates�察�That you see not how near you are the gates Of an old king who 

listens fearfully To you that are outside and are to be The noisy lords of 

imminent estates。 

    Rather     be   then   your   prayer   that   you   shall  have    Your   kingdom 

undishonored。 Having all�察�See not the great among you for the small�察�But 

hear their silence�察�for the few shall save The many�察�or the many are to fall 

 Still to be wrangling in a noisy grave。

                     The Flying Dutchman 



    Unyielding in the pride of his defiance�察�Afloat with none to serve or to 

command�察      �Lord   of  himself   at  last�察 �and  all  by  Science�察  �He   seeks   the 

Vanished Land。 

    Alone�察�by the one light of his one thought�察�He steers to find the shore 

from which we came�察 �Fearless of in what coil he may be caught On seas 

that have no name。 

     Into the night he sails�察�and after night There is a dawning�察�though there 

be   no   sun�察  �Wherefore�察  �with   nothing   but   himself   in   sight�察  �Unsighted�察  �he 

sails on。 At last there is a lifting of the cloud Between the flood before him 

and the sky�察�And then  though he may curse the Power aloud That has no 

power to die  

    He steers himself away from what is haunted By the old ghos
