Excerpt from Devices and Desires

And, bold in beauty, faced his first-flung beams, Bare-breasted, tingling to the wind and spray, A joyous incarnation of my dreams Oft did I seek the strand that dream-sea Iaves, Lulling my soul by those soft-lapping waves, And wrought my vision nigh on ecstasy. But once, when I would wander back again, Down the dim reverie-windings to that shore, Some shame rose shadow-like, forbidding me, A mournful something sobbed within my brain, Wailed and made bitter mock of my old joys, And my World Beautiful sufficed no more While slowly mounting till it drowned the noise Of wind and wave, a vast cry seem'd upborne, A mighty multitudinous murmuring And 10 - forth from the mist and bitter spray, Below that headland whereupon still glow'd The Demi-godhead of my old dream-dawn.
