\n <\/p>\n

\nFRAGMENTS FROM A LOST TRANSLATION<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nthe hills of mist<\/span><\/p>\n

\nGolden, the dwelling place of Faery kings,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAnd mansions by unearthly moonlight
\nkissed: \u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

\nFor one dwells there whose brow with the young moon<\/span><\/p>\n

\nLightens as with a
\nmarvellous amethyst \u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n*<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nOf Tripour slain in lovely dances joined<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAnd linked troops the Oreads of the hill<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAre singing and inspired with rushing wind<\/span><\/p>\n

\nSweet is the noise of bamboos fluting shrill;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThou thundering in the mountain-glens with cry<\/span><\/p>\n

\nOf drums shouldst the sublime orchestra fill.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n*<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nDark like the cloudy foot of highest God<\/span><\/p>\n

\nWhen starting from the dwarf-shape world-immense<\/span><\/p>\n

\nWith Titan-quelling step through heaven he strode.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n*<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nFor death and birth keep not their mystic round<\/span><\/p>\n

\nIn Ullaca; there from the deathless trees<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe blossom lapses never to the ground<\/span><\/p>\n

\nBut lives for ever garrulous with bees<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAll honey-drunk \u2014 nor yet its sweets resign.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nFor ever in their girdling companies. . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n*<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\nA flickering line of fireflies seen in sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n*<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nHer scarlet mouth is a ripe fruit and red.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n*<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nSole like a widowed bird when all the nests<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAre making.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n
