Incomplete Poems 673
In the temple she sits of the wide white sun
That burns unsetting in an immortal space beyond Time.
Around her chant the world-poem the deathless Nine
And the feet of the Fates dance out the rhyme.
Bugles of Light
Bugles of Light, bugles of Light, blare through the mist and the
darkness!
Children of Immortality, we march through the Abyss and the
Shadow,
Over us hustle the feet of the Fates and the wings of Erinnys,
In front is the screech of the Death horn, behind the red-eyed
monster hunts and howls the tornado.
Our steps search for the road and find the morass and the pitfall.
Follow the Gleam, follow the Gleam to the city of God and the
pavements of Dream!
Bugles of Light, bugles of Light, shatter the heart of the
Darkness!

THE FIRE KING
O soul who com’st fire-mantled from the earth
Into the silence of the seven skies,
Art thou an heir of the spiritual birth?
Art thou an ancient guest of Paradise?
THE MESSENGER
I am the Messenger of the human race,
I am a Pioneer from death and night.
I am the nympholept of Beauty’s face,
I am the hunter of the immortal Light.
