Every one understood at once that
something
strange
was to follow - a waltz of the spirits of the air, which they
dance on summer nights when nothing is to be seen but a streak
of reddish light in the distant horizon; when the leaves cease
their rustling, when the insects fold their wings to rest, and the
chorister of the night preludes his song with three notes,- the
first low and deep, the second tender, and the third so full of
life and passion that every noise is hushed to listen.

And yet (in this t' express ourselves more clear)
We do not number here
Such spirits as are only continent,
Because lust's means are spent;
Or those who doubt the common mouth of fame,
And for their place and name,
Cannot so safely sin: their chastity
Is mere necessity;
Nor mean we those whom vows and conscience
Have filled with abstinence:
Though we acknowledge who can so abstain,
Makes a most blessed gain;
He that for love of
goodness
hateth ill,
Is more crown-worthy still
Than he, which for sin's penalty forbears:
His heart sins, though he fears.

TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE
while the general insanity of Europe, with its blind
idealism in the midst of squalor, with its unscrupu-
lous praise of so-called
“Progress”
while it stood
knee-deep in the belittlement of “Man,” and with
its vulgar levity in the face of effeminacy and decay;
—they are the utterances of one who voiced the
hopes, the aims, and the realities of another world,
not of an ideal world, not of a world beyond, but
of a real world, of this world regenerated and re-
organised upon a sounder, a more virile, and a more
orderly basis,-in fact, of a perfectly possible world,
one that has already existed in the past, and could
exist again, if only the stupendous revolution of a
transvaluation of all values were made possible.

not be contemplated without an

Heights which appear as lovers who have parted
In hate, whose mining depths so intervene,
That they can meet no more, though broken-hearted;
Though in their souls, which thus each other thwarted,
Love was the very root of the fond rage
Which blighted their life's bloom, and then departed:
Itself expired, but leaving them an age
Of years all winters--war within
