Página 580 - From the Desert I come to thee On a stallion shod with fire; And the winds are left behind In the speed of my desire. Under thy window I stand, And the midnight hears my cry: I love thee, I love but thee, With a love that shall not die Till the sun grows cold, And the stars are old, And the leaves of the Judgment Book unfold!

Página 653 - The eternal regions : lowly reverent Towards either throne they bow, and to the ground With solemn adoration down they cast Their crowns inwove with amarant and gold ; Immortal amarant, a flower which once In Paradise, fast by the tree of life, Began to bloom ; but soon for man's offence To heaven removed where first it grew, there grows, And flowers aloft shading the fount of life...
Página 578 - Gain the top of the ridge, where stands, colossal, the pin-oak. Yonder, a mile away, I see the roofs of the village, — See the crouching front of the meeting-house of the Quakers, Oddly conjoined with the whittled Presbyterian steeple. Right and left are the homes of the slow, conservative farmers, Loyal people and true, but, now that the battles are over, Zealous for Temperance, Peace, and the Right of Suffrage for Women. Orderly, moral, are they, — at least, in the sense of suppression; Given...
Página 581 - O'Brien, who divided the honors pretty equally, and whose verses, I am compelled to admit, were generally better than my own. Bayard Taylor was very dexterous in seizing the salient points of the poets we girded at, and was as happy as a child when his burlesques were successful. He reminded me, I once told him, of Kalterfelto ' With his hair on end At his own wonders.' He blushed, laughed, and admitted that his cleverness pleased him, and he was glad that it pleased us also. ' It is good sport,'...
Página 653 - From being the flower of immortality, amaranth became, by a natural association of ideas, the flower of death. In the poem by Longfellow, from which you quote, it crowns the brows of Azrael, the Death Angel, while the Angel of Life wears a wreath of asphodels or daffodils, the flowers of life. Because, perhaps, death is as strong as love, amaranth is an antidote for the love-philtre. The Swedish order of the Knights of the Amaranth was instituted in the year 1653, by Christiana, who on the occasion...

Página 580 - It is odd how deeply rooted the idea is among our people that because a man is a good novelist he must necessarily be a bad poet or dramatist, and if he is a good poet his novels or his dramas deserve only censure. A man like Goethe, whose rich nature demanded such manifold and various expression, would never be comprehended by our reviewers. They would damn ' Faust' because ' Werther' had been a success. ' Now you made such a hit with your novel...
