Cassildra's song
06:42
|
|||
Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.
Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.

The Clown turned his powdered face to the mirror.
"If to be fair is to be beautiful," he said, "who can compare with me in
my white mask?"
"Who can compare with him in his white mask?" I asked of Death beside me.
"Who can compare with me?" said Death, "for I am paler still."
"You are very beautiful," sighed the Clown, turning his powdered face
from the mirror.

Destiny

I came to the bridge which few may pass.
"Pass!" cried the keeper, but I laughed, saying, "There is time;" and he
smiled and shut the gates.
To the bridge which few may pass came young and old. All were refused.
Idly I stood and counted them, until, wearied of their noise and
lamentations, I came again to the bridge which few may pass.
Those in the throng about the gates shrieked out, "He comes too late!"
But I laughed, saying, "There is time."
"Pass!" cried the keeper as I entered; then smiled and shut the gates.

The Phantom of the Past would go no further.
"If it is true," she sighed, "that you find in me a friend, let us turn
back together. You will forget, here, under the summer sky."
I held her close, pleading, caressing; I seized her, white with anger,
but she resisted.
"If it is true," she sighed, "that you find in me a friend, let us turn
back together."
The Phantom of the Past would go no further.

The Sacrifice
05:36

I went into a field of flowers, whose petals are whiter than snow and
whose hearts are pure gold.
Far afield a woman cried, "I have killed him I loved!" and from a jar she
poured blood upon the flowers whose petals are whiter than snow and whose hearts are pure gold.
Far afield I followed, and on the jar I read a thousand names, while from
within the fresh blood bubbled to the brim.
"I have killed him I loved!" she cried. "The world's athirst; now let it
drink!" She passed, and far afield I watched her pouring blood upon the flowers whose petals are whiter than snow and whose hearts are pure gold.
