\n In a flaming as of spaces
\n Curved like spires
\n An epiphany of faces,
\n Long curled fires,
\n The illumined and tremendous
\n Masque drew near,
\n A god-pageant of the aeons
\n Vast, deep-hued,
\n And the thunder of its paeans,
\n Wide-winged, nude
\n In their harmony stupendous,
\n Smote earth’s ear.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n life, thy breath is but a cry to the Light
\n Immortal, out of which has sprung thy delight,
\n Thy grasp.
\n All things in vain thy hands seize;
\n Earth’s music fails; the notes cease
\n Or rasp.
\n Aloud thou call’st to blind Fate,
\n "Remove the bar, the gold gate
\n Unhasp."
\n But never yet hast thou the goal of thy race
\n Attained, nor thrilled to the ineffable Face
\n And clasp. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n Sun-ring and moon-ring that glittered and hung in each lobe.

On
\n the grey street, on the lagging winding waters
\n One sees far off stealing away to meet the rich drooping purple of the sky,
\n A stillness falls; a supernatural silence
\n Lies on the lap of Nature.<\/p>\n

The street is man’s life, and the waters, earth’s sky-dowry,
\n And this rich span’s unreal splendour, symbol hue, sign of sight of the Unseen.
\n Man’s life lies mute, the waters run to the splendour,
\n The Unseen is this mighty Silence.<\/p>\n
