Sample text

My aspect grew bitter. I said farewell to the world in a species of romantic song: Song of the Highest Tower O let it come, O let it be, The time we long for dreamily! I’ve been patient through To the end of memory. Apprehension and pains Flee to the skies. And a thirsty disease Darkens my veins. O let it come, O let it be, The time of love we share between. Like the prairie Delivered to oblivion, Growing and flowering With incense and weeds To the sullen whine Of nasty flies. O let it come, O let it be, The time of love twixt me and thee.

And the diversions of princes and the games that they prohibited! Geography, cosmography, mechanics, chemistry! . Science! the latest aristocracy! Progress.

And drunkenness! and tobacco! and ignorance! —Isn’t all this far enough away from the thoughts, and the wisdom of the Orient, the primitive homeland? What need of a modern society, if such poisons are invented! The Church-folk will say: “That’s right. But you mean Eden. ”—It’s true; it is Eden that I meant! What’s that purity of ancient ancestry got to do with my dream!?
