A rogue’s tragedy

A rogue’s tragedy

Two figments of that endless sweet obsession stood alonehigh on a slope of Alp this time. Born of a dream to flesh, they thought they owed themselves to flesha sacred debt. Truth seemed as plain to them as pebbles in a brook, which lie round and firm for all their apparent shaking under ripples. There, actual to their eyes, were the white mountains, the hoary glaciers, the pine woods and foamy freshets of eighteenth century Le Prieur. Here, actual in the ears of each, was the whisper of the deathless confidence which for ever and ever helps on loves succession. They loved, and therefore they lived. Man has been for ten thousand ages at the pains to prove love a delusion, and still he greets a baby, and a kitten, and the nesting song of birds, and a hawthorn bush in flower, as freshly as if each, in its latest expression, were the newest product of his wisdom. But love is no delusion, save in the shadows which it builds itself for habitation. Of dust thou art, said the older God, and unto dust returnest. Yet man does not inherit from the earth, but from the imagination of that which created the earth and its lifethe brain of the dreaming Love. Nor has he once, in all his ons of sequence, touched or borrowed from the earth. The seed which is himself was his mothers seed, herself the seed of another who contained his seed within his mothers seed within herselfa nest ad infinitum. Womb within womb, myriadfold, he proceeds from Love, his flight a heavenly meteors, his origin the origin of the star which has never been of earth until it falls extinguished on it. He draws from the eye of the dawn. He is the top section in a telescope of countless sections, each extending from the other, and all from all, and the last from the first. Close it, and it is he. Open it, and it is he. He helps to Loves view of the dream of which he is a part. He is Loves heir in dreams. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
