Description
Excerpt from The Yellow Book, Vol. 5: An Illustrated Quarterly; April 1895
Amorist agonist man, that immortally pining and striving, Snatches the glory of life only from love and from war Man that, rejoicing in con?ict, like thee when precipitate tempest, Charge after thundering charge, clangs on thy resonant mail, Seemeth so easy to shatter, and proveth so hard to be cloven Man whom the gods, in his pain, curse with a soul that endures Man whose deeds, to the doer, come back as thine own exhalations Into thy bosom return, weepings of mountain and vale; Man with the cosmic fortunes and starry vicissitudes tangled, Chained to the wheel of the world, blind with the dust of its speed, Even as thou, 0 giant, whom trailed in the wake of her conquests ''night''s sweet despot draws, bound to her ivory car Man with inviolate caverns, impregnable holds in his nature.
