I have a rendezvous with Death At some disputed barricade. - I Have a Rendezvous with Death [Death] So die as though your funeral Ushered you through the doors that led Into a stately banquet hall Where heroes banqueted. - Maktoob [Death] At Earth's great market where Joy is trafficked in, Buy while thy purse yet swells with golden Youth. - Ode to Antares (last lines) [Joy] Spirit of Beauty, whose sweet impulses, Flung like the rose of dawn across the sea, Alone can flush the exalted consciousness With shafts of sensible divinity-- Light of the world, essential loveliness. - Ode to Natural Beauty (st. 2) [Beauty] From a boy I gloated on existence. Earth to me Seemed all sufficient and my sojourn there One trembling opportunity for joy. - Sonnet--I Loved [Life] There was a stately drama writ By the hand that peopled the earth and air, And set the stars in the infinite, And made night gorgeous and morning fair; And all that had sense to reason knew That bloody drama must be gone through.
