weary knees and their con´ tortions long and faint�察�And the endless pricks
of conscience�察�like a hundred thousand pins�察�A real perpetual penance for
imaginary sins。
I love to wander widely�察�but I understand a cell�察�Where you tell and tell
your beads because you've nothing else to tell�察�Where the crimson joy of
flesh�察�with all its wild fantastic tricks�察�Is forgotten in the blinding glory of
the crucifix。
I cannot speak for others�察�but my inmost soul is torn With a battle of
desires making all my life forlorn。 There are moments when I would
untread the paths that I have trod。 I'm a haunter of the devil�察�but I hunger
after God。

EXIT GOD
Of old our father's God was real�察�Something they almost saw�察�Which
kept them to a stern ideal And scourged them into awe。
They walked the narrow path of right Most vigilantly well�察 �Because
they feared eternal night And boiling depths of Hell。
Now Hell has wholly boiled away And God become a shade。 There is
no place for him to stay In all the world He made。
The followers of William James Still let the Lord exist�察�And call Him
by imposing names�察�A venerable list。 But nerve and muscle only count�察�
Gray matter of the brain�察 �And an astonishing amount Of inconvenient
pain。
I sometimes wish that God were back In this dark world and wide�察�For
though sonic virtues He might lack�察�He had his pleasant side。

CHAPTER ROUSSEAU
THAT odd�察 �fantastic ass�察 �Rousseau�察 �Declared himself unique。 How
men persist in doing so�察�Puzzles me more than Greek。
The sins that tarnish whore and thief Beset me every day。 My most
ethereal belief Inhabits common clay。

MASEFIELD ��HIMSELF��
GOD said�察 �and frowned�察 �as He looked on Shropshire clay�此 �Alone�察�
'twont do�察 �composite�察 �would I make This man´child rare�察 �'twere well�察�
methinks�察�to take A handful from the Stratford tomb�察�and weigh A few of
Shelley's ashes�察�Bunyan may Contribute�察�too�察�and�察�for my sweet Son's sake�察�
I'll visit Avalon�察�then�察�let me slake The whole with Wyclif´water from the
Bay。
A sailor�察�he� �Too godly�察�though�察�I fear�察�Offset it with tobacco� �Next�察�
I'll find Hedge´roses�察 �star´dust�察 �and a vagrant's mind�察 �His mother's heart
now let me breathe upon�察�When west winds blow�察�I'll whisper in her ear�此�

HIS PORTRAIT
A Man of Sorrows� �with such haunted eyes�察�I trow�察�the Master looked
across the lake�察�Looked from the Judas´heart�察�so soon to make Of Him
the world's historic sacrifice�察 �Moreover�察 �as I gaze�察 �do more arise�察 �Great
souls�察�great pallid ghosts of pain�察�who wake And wander yet�察�all�察�weary
men who brake Their hearts�察 �all hemlock´drunk�察 �with growing wise�此�
Hudson adrift�察 �Defoe�察 �the Wandering Jew�察 �Tannhauser�察 �Faust�察 �Andrea�察�
phantoms�察�all�察�In Masefield's eyes you lodge�察�and to the wall I turn you�察�
hand a´tremble��lest you make Of mine own stricken eyes a mirror�察�too。
Wherein the sad world's sadder for your sake。

HIS ;DAUBER;
O Masefield's ;Dauber� ─ �You�察 �who being dead�察 �Yet speak�此 �heroic�察�

dauntless�察�flaming soul�察�Too suddenly snuffed out� �Here take fresh toll
Of cognizance�察�and�察�in your ocean bed�察�Serenely rest�察�assured that who has
read What you would fain have pictured of the Pole Would gladly match
your part against the whole Of many a modern artist�察�Paris´bred。
And more than this�此�if you�察�indeed�察�are his�察�Then�察�by a dual truth�察�he�察�
too�察�is yours�察�For�察�marked and credited by what endures�察�Were it the only
thing�察�which bears his name�察。�O deathless Soul�察�I speak you true in this�。�

HIS ;GALLIPOLI;
;Small wonder�察─�speaks my pensive self�察 �that he Whose passion 'tis to
sing of men who fail�察 。�Belabored�察 �broken by The Unseen Flail�� Small
wonder that be makes Gallipoli
His fervent text�察 �for could there be A costlier failure in Earth's
shuddering tale�拭 �Think of heroic Sulva's bloody swale�察 �Of Anzac's
tortured thirst and agony� ─�But as I read�察�protesting voices cry�此 �Not we�察�
Not we�察�who fell among the daffodils�察�Who conquered Death among those
blistered hills�察�And found our glory after mortal pain�察�Not we�察�who failed
and lost Gallipoli�察�The sad�察�strange failure theirs who mourn in vain� ─�

HIS MEAD
So�察 �Masefield�察 �have your royal words once more Called forth the
praise of men�察 �where praise is due�察 �Your great elegiac�察 �tragically true�察�
Must leave all Britain prouder than before�察 �And�察 �in spite of all that
breaking hearts deplore�察�And all that anguished consciences must rue�察�One
arrowed gladness surely pierces through 〃From London's centre to
Canadian shore�此�
When England�察�sobbing�察�mourns Gallipoli�察�When warm tears flow for
Rupert Brooke And all the splendid Youth her error took As hostage from
the fields of daffodils�察 �Let this a present�察 �living solace be�此 �You are not
sleeping in those cruel hills� �
