Incomplete <strong>Poems</strong> 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! TheFireKingandtheMessenger 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.
674 Pondicherry, c. 1927 – 1947 THE FIRE KING What flame wearst thou that wraps thee with its power Protecting from the Guardians of the Way? What wanderer born from the eternal Hour? What fragment of the inconceivable Ray? THE MESSENGER It is the fire of an awakened soul Aspiring from death to reach Eternity, The wings of sacrifice flaming to their goal, The burning godhead of humanity. THE FIRE KING What seekst thou here, child of the transient ways? Wouldst thou be free and still in endless peace? Or gaze for ever on the Eternal’s face, Hushed in an incommunicable release? THE MESSENGER I claim for men the peace that shall not fail, I claim for earth the unwounded timeless bliss, I seek God-strength for souls that suffer in hell, God-light to fill the ignorant abyss. THE FIRE KING Ascend no more with thy presumptuous prayer But safe return to the forsaken globe, Wake not heaven’s Lightning from its slumber’s lair To clothe thee with the anguish of its robe.
