At midnight, death's and truth's
unlocking
time,
When far within the spirit's hearing rolls
The great soft rumble of the course of things --
A bulk of silence in a mask of sound, --
When darkness clears our vision that by day
Is sun-blind, and the soul's a ravening owl
For truth and flitteth here and there about
Low-lying woody tracts of time and oft
Is minded for to sit upon a bough,
Dry-dead and sharp, of some long-stricken tree
And muse in that gaunt place, -- 'twas then my heart,
Deep in the meditative dark, cried out:
"Ye companies of governor-spirits grave,
Bards, and old bringers-down of flaming news
From steep-wall'd heavens, holy malcontents,
Sweet seers, and stellar visionaries, all
That brood about the skies of poesy,
Full bright ye shine, insuperable stars;
Yet, if a man look hard upon you, none
With total lustre blazeth, no, not one
But hath some heinous freckle of the flesh
Upon his shining cheek, not one but winks
His ray, opaqued with intermittent mist
Of defect; yea, you masters all must ask
Some sweet forgiveness, which we leap to give,
We lovers of you, heavenly-glad to meet
Your largesse so with love, and interplight
Your geniuses with our mortalities.

It's the sweet law of men
They make wine from grapes
They make fire from coal
They make men from kisses
It's the true law of men
Kept intact despite
the misery and war
despite danger of death
It's the warm law of men
To change water to light
Dream to reality
Enemies to friends
A law old and new
That
perfects
itself
From the child's heart's depths
To reason's heights.

By returning very few visits, she had not much company of her own sex, except those whom she most loved for their easiness, or esteemed for their good sense: and those, not
insisting
on ceremony, came often to her.

Aussi c’était ma faute; je n’aurais pas dû m’éloigner de la pelouse;
car on ne savait jamais sûrement par quel côté Gilberte viendrait, si
ce serait plus ou moins tard, et cette attente finissait par me rendre
plus émouvants, non seulement les Champs-Élysées entiers et toute la
durée de l’après-midi, comme une immense étendue d’espace et de temps
sur chacun des points et à chacun des moments de laquelle il était
possible qu’apparût l’image de Gilberte, mais encore cette image,
elle-même, parce que derrière cette image je sentais se cacher la
raison pour laquelle elle m’était décochée en plein cœur, à quatre
heures au lieu de deux heures et demie, surmontée d’un chapeau de
visite à la place d’un béret de jeu, devant les
«Ambassadeurs»
et non
entre les deux guignols, je devinais quelqu’une de ces occupations où
je ne pouvais suivre Gilberte et qui la forçaient à sortir ou à rester
à la maison, j’étais en contact avec le mystère de sa vie inconnue.

By chance, I heard the belle complain,
The one we called the Armouress,
Longing to be a girl again,
Talking like this, more or less:
'Oh, old age, proud in wickedness,
You've
battered
me so, and why?
