                                         SELVES 



     My   dust   in   ruined   Babylon       Is   blown   along   the   level   plain�察  �And 

songs of mine at dawn have soared              Above the blue Sicilian main。 

     We   are   ourselves�察 �and not   ourselves   。  。  。   For   ever   thwarting   pride 

and   will   Some   forebear's   passion   leaps   from   death        To   claim   a   vital 

license still。 

     Ancestral lusts that slew and died�察          �Resurgent�察�swell each living vein�察�

Old doubts and faiths�察�new panoplied�察             �Dispute the mastery of the brain。 

     The love of liberty that flames           From written rune and stricken reed 

Shook the hot hearts of swordsmen sires               At Marathon and Runnymede。 

     What are these things we call our ;selves;�拭 � 。 。             Have I not shouted�察�

sobbed�察�and died In the bright surf of spears that broke                  Where Greece 

rolled back the Persian tide�拭�

     Are   we   who   breathe   more   quick   than   they     Whose   bones   are   dust 

within   the   tomb�拭  �Nay�察  �as   I   write�察  �what   gray   old   ghosts Murmur   and 

mock me from the gloom。 。 。 。 

     They     call  。  。  。  across  strange  seas   they   call�察   �Strange    seas�察  �and 

haunted   coasts   of   time。   。   。   。  They   startle   me   with   wordless   songs To 

which the Sphinx hath known the rhyme。 

     Our hearts swell big with dead men's hates�察              �Our eyes sting hot with 

dead men's tears�察�We are ourselves�察�but not ourselves�察                 �Born heirs�察�but 

serfs�察�to all the years� �

     I   rode   with   Nimrod   。   。   。   strove   at   Troy   。   。   。 A   slave   I   stood   in 

Crowning       Tyre�察  �A   queen    looked    on  me    and   I  loved     And     died   to 

compass my desire。

                               THE WAGES 



    EARTH loves to gibber o'er her dross�察       �Her golden souls�察�to waste�察�

The cup she fills for her god´men      Is a bitter cup to taste。 

    Who sees the gyves that bind mankind           And strives to strike them 

off Shall gain the hissing hate of fools�察   �Thorns�察�and the ingrate's scoff。 

    Who storms the moss´grown walls of eld         And beats some falsehood 

down Shall pass the pallid gates of death      Sans laurel�察�love or crown�察�

    For him who fain would teach the world           The world holds hate in 

fee For Socrates�察�the hemlock cup�察     �For Christ�察�Gethsemane。

BROWNING。 

    PERCHANCE the dying gods of Earth Are destined to another birth�察�

And worn´out creeds regain their worth        In the kindly air of other stars 

What lords of life and light hold sway In the myriad worlds of the Milky 

Way�拭     �What avatars in Mars�拭�

    What Aphrodites from the seas That lap the plunging Pleiades         Arise 

to spread afar The dream that was the soul of Greece�拭          �In Mars�察�what 

avatar�拭�

    Which   hundred   moons   are   wan   with   love  For   dull  Endymions�拭�

Which hundred moons hang tranced above           Audacious Ajalons�拭�

    What Holy  Grail lures  errants pale      Through the   wastes of   yonder 

star�拭�What fables sway the Milky Way�拭        �In Mars�察�what avatar�拭�

    When     morning   skims  with  crimson   wings     Across   the  meres   of 

Mercury�察  �What   dreaming   Memnon   wakes   and   sings     Of   miracles   on 

Mercury�拭�What Christs�察�what avatars�察�Claim Mars�拭�

Nevermore           Shall    they   start   at  the   sound    of  his   reed´fashioned 

flute�察�

     Fallen mute       Are the strings of Apollo�察�His lyre and his lute�察            �And 

the   lips   of   the   Memnons   are   mute   Evermore�察      �And   the   gods   of   the

plunging stars�察       �They are fixed in the whirling heavens No firmer than 

falling stars�察�Brief lords of the changing soul�察�they pass Like a breath from 

the   face   of   a   glass�察�Or   a   blossom  of   summer   blown shallop´like   over 

The clover And tossed tides of grass。 

     Sink to silence the psalms and the paeans             The shibboleths shift�察�and 

the faiths�察�And the temples that challenged the aeons               Are tenanted only 

by wraiths�察�Swoon   to silence   the cymbals and psalters�察              �The   worships 

grow senseless and strange�察�

     And the mockers   ask�察 �Where be thy  altars�拭─             �Crying�察 �Nothing  is 

changelessbut Change� ─�

     Yes�察  �nothing    seems    changeless�察   �but  Change。     And   yet�察 �through    the

variations�察     �Race   and   clime   ever   tinting   the   dreams�察  �Yet   its   essence�察�

fire�察�Sunward the restless races climb�              �Men risen out of mire� �

strong�察�And shaken systems�察�star by star�察             �Awake and glow in song。 

     But for the urge of this unrest           These joyous spheres were mute�察�But 

for the rebel in his breast         Had man remained a brute。 

     When   baffled   lips   demanded speech�察           �Speech   trembled   into   birth

born   His   wish�察  �a   Titan�察  �scaled   the   height     And   flung   him   back   the 

morn� �

hope�察�The restless wish�察�the instant need�察             �Still lashed him up the slope� �
