Sida 240 - Before the beginning of years, There came to the making of man Time, with a gift of tears; Grief, with a glass that ran; Pleasure, with pain for leaven; Summer, with flowers that fell; Remembrance fallen from heaven, And madness risen from hell; Strength without hands to smite; Love that endures for a breath; Night, the shadow of light, And life, the shadow of death.

Sida 239 - ... let earth Laugh, and the long sea fiery from thy feet Through all the roar and ripple of streaming springs And foam in reddening flakes and flying flowers Shaken from hands and blown from lips of nymphs Whose hair or breast divides the wandering wave With salt close tresses cleaving lock to lock, All gold, or shuddering and unfurrowed snow ; And all the winds about thee with their wings, And fountain-heads of all the watered world ; Each horn of Acheloiis, and the green Euenus, wedded with the...
Sida 235 - CHORUS. She is holier than all holy days or things, The sprinkled water or fume of perfect fire ; Chaste, dedicated to pure prayers, and filled With higher thoughts than heaven ; a maiden clean, Pure iron, fashioned for a sword ; and man She loves not ; what should one such do with love ? ALTHAEA.
Sida 239 - And bum and break the dark about thy ways, Shot through and through with arrows; let thine hair Lighten as flame above that flameless shell Which was the moon, and thine eyes fill the world, And thy lips kindle with swift beams; let earth Laugh, and the long sea fiery from thy feet Through all the roar and ripple of...
Sida 239 - O fair-faced sun killing the stars and dews And dreams and desolation of the night ! Rise up, shine, stretch thine hand out, with thy bow Touch the most dimmest height of trembling heaven, And burn and break the dark about thy ways, Shot through and through with arrows ; let thine hair Lighten as flame above...
Sida 226 - Perhaps it is the situations that especially please me — Orestes at the gate of the palace overhearing his sister's lamentation; Electra herself with the funeral urn in her hands ; the recognition with its sudden revulsion of feeling. In the face of the impending abomination there is something singularly affecting in the attachment of these two ill-starred children of a murdered father — the dependence of the one, the assurance of the other. But however this may be, the important matter for the...

Sida 201 - Monime in her maiden decency to the jealous inquisition of her tigerish master is enough to confound belief in the equitable regulation of mortal affairs. It is this sort of thing that I should like to call the tragic qualm — this feeling of insecurity and confusion, as it were a sort of moral dizziness and nausea, due to the vivid realization, in the dramatic fable, of a suspicion which is always lurking uncomfortably near the threshhold of consciousness, that the world is somehow out of plumb....
