There had been phantoms, pale remembered shapes Of this and this occasion, sisterly In their resemblances, each effigy Crowned with the same bright hair above the nape's White rounded firmness, and each body alert With such swift loveliness, that very rest Seemed a poised movement: ... phantoms that im But a faint influence and could bless or hurt [pressed No more than dreams. And these ghost things were she; For formless still, without identity, Not one she seemed, not clear, but many and dim. One face among the legions of the street, Indifferent mystery, she was for him Something still uncreated, incomplete. II. Bright windy sunshine and the shadow of cloud Quicken the heavy summer to new birth Of life and motion on the drowsing earth; The huge elms stir, till all the air is loud With their awakening from the muffled sleep Of long hot days. And on the wavering line That marks the alternate ebb of shade and shine, Under the trees, a little group is deep In laughing talk. The shadow as it flows Across them dims the lustre of a rose, Quenches the bright clear gold of hair, the green Of a girl's dress, and life seems faint. The light Swings back, and in the rose a fire is seen, Gold hair's aflame and green grows emerald bright.

Book excerpt: The Defeat of Youth, by English writer and philosopher Aldous Huxley was originally published in 1918.The work was Huxley's third book of poetry, published at the age of twenty-four. At the crossroads between youth and adulthood. It consists of a multitude of poetic styles, rooted largely in traditional form. Deep lyrical romanticism imbues his modernist ironicism with the mysterious and often confused ambiguity of nature and love.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cup of Youth: And Other Poems Gaspar. Men say his silence guards such fateful power As makes yon stars the vassals of his will, Turns baser metals into golden coin, And wrings all secrets from the miser Time. Gelosa. And yet he knew not that one summer night A little maid Gelosa was her name Had stolen out beneath his starry slaves To learn the subtle alchemy of love That turns all fates to gold, nor lacks the power To prophesy the sweetness of to-morrow. Methinks he knew but little, knowing not What love will dare; or haply knew too much For all the gentler uses of the world When, like a landlord with too full an inn, He thrust out Love that ever might have been The fairest guest his learning entertained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Youthful Days, and Other Poems I have written this book with a view to impart Consolation to those of a sorrowful mind To the broken in spirit, the troubled of heart, To the widow, the orphan, the poor and the blind And if what is recorded should meet with success In accomplishing half it purposes to do, Be the good of the author, for greater or less, In proportion to that which is faithful and true. There are many who read for the sake of the rhyme Without ever reflecting on what they peruse For the poorest among us have valuable time, Which they wisely improve, or in idleness lose But the sum of the matter is easily told, And the proof is sufficient in every respect We are selling ourselves for the silver and gold Of this world, while our duty to God we neglect. And to what shall the profits of all we amass, Be directed when death has demanded its own For the glitter of wealth cannot purchase a pass, Through the portals of death, to a crown and a throne. We shall reap without fear - if we sow as we should, And have faith in the riches of grace to preserve All our labor; for God is infinitely good, And will judge us according to what we deserve.
