- 0:15Speaker 1: Recording by Adrian Stephens, The Poems of James Hebelthwaite preface, Farewell,
- 0:23Speaker 1: my muse, Our days are almost gone, and we have
- 0:27Speaker 1: sung a little of our heart, its passion and its ruth.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Why linger on, why stay? For we must part as
- 0:35Speaker 1: all do part, essential soul, pure, perilous and bright. I
- 0:42Speaker 1: imaged thee and underneath the sky, this roof of azure
- 0:47Speaker 1: blue and sunshine white, built the fair towers that shadowed
- 0:51Speaker 1: from on high. And we have heard the thunder of
- 0:55Speaker 1: the feet of great Apollos horses with desire class unhasting
- 1:01Speaker 1: to their palace seat in the fierce blaze of their
- 1:04Speaker 1: undaunted fire. And while the twilight heavens wear flowering far
- 1:10Speaker 1: with angel glows that love for love to burn, we
- 1:15Speaker 1: sang the flitting swallows on the bar with songs of
- 1:19Speaker 1: hellas for their glad return. And we have known a
- 1:23Speaker 1: mighty chivalry quest down the dreaming woodland for the grail
- 1:29Speaker 1: whose cohort of bright seraphim. They see lighting the patrimonies
- 1:34Speaker 1: of the veil. And we have touched the unessential heart, that,
- 1:39Speaker 1: with sad knowledge of no farewell sigh lingering, a while
- 1:45Speaker 1: reluctant to depart, goes groping dumbly for some place to die.
- 1:52Speaker 1: And an imperial use. Have we essayed to give the
- 1:56Speaker 1: wanderer songs and scents of home, to keep the memory
- 2:00Speaker 1: green when all things fade, To waft his children o'er
- 2:05Speaker 1: the ocean foam, to wake the longing of the native born,
- 2:10Speaker 1: to see the meadows of that far off strand to
- 2:14Speaker 1: tread those ruined isles, gray and forlorn, yet still the
- 2:20Speaker 1: more to love his own dear land. If we have
- 2:25Speaker 1: sung of grief, tis not to daunt, but to enlarge
- 2:29Speaker 1: the heart with pity's tears. If in the past we've
- 2:33Speaker 1: sought each tender haunt, tis but to face the future
- 2:38Speaker 1: without fears. What gain from life through which we darkling rush,
- 2:44Speaker 1: Oh hardly, God, be good, Be glad, be pure, Live
- 2:49Speaker 1: in the might that flows from the soul's hush, Be pitiful, create,
- 2:56Speaker 1: Learn to endure, urge headlong through the billowy, boundless deep,
- 3:01Speaker 1: the stallions of the passions free, unmaimed, but under rule imperious,
- 3:08Speaker 1: and keep their flaming frontlets to Heaven's gate unblamed.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Ah, we have.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Wandered on the silent shore, and tenderly have swung a
- 3:20Speaker 1: passing knell for those dear lovers who will come no
- 3:24Speaker 1: more muse are we of these times? Farewell, farewell end

- 4:06Speaker 1: clear and curving side, and on the poop, without a fear,
- 4:10Speaker 1: will row for aye the ocean tide. Ah. No, you
- 4:15Speaker 1: are too strange for me to one for my sweet
- 4:18Speaker 1: tender guest. Our babies voyaging must be in dreams upon

- 4:56Speaker 1: with eyes cast down in childhood's wont for wondrous things
- 5:01Speaker 1: and new we saw the mushroom's fairy tops whitening, the
- 5:05Speaker 1: gray sweet dew our wicker nets. We filled with them,

- 6:49Speaker 1: sweet minstrel deer, wilt thou not be homing, or we
- 6:53Speaker 1: shall forget veil of toil, so drear and waste. Hear
- 6:59Speaker 1: him now, a dancing playing on the golden strings. The
- 7:03Speaker 1: midnight Maiden's gift breaks the sunshine on the hills. The
- 7:08Speaker 1: princess falls to dancing in her silken shift. Oh, the
- 7:13Speaker 1: joyfulness and kissing of that fiddle's flowings, giving rest and
- 7:18Speaker 1: happiness and laughter, delicate fling from out this iron world
- 7:24Speaker 1: to his merry bowings, Oh, be not too late. Elves
- 7:30Speaker 1: that live in far blue glades, Gnomes in caverns, daunting
- 7:34Speaker 1: wisps that love the moist green earth, the sylphs of sunshine,
- 7:39Speaker 1: maid rugged sylvans of the dale, come with mystic haunting.
- 7:44Speaker 1: We are not afraid. Down the ways of fairy, from
- 7:50Speaker 1: turrets crazy, from the cobwebbed quarrel pane, the gray of
- 7:54Speaker 1: the old niche float, the fairy Godmother's comely as a
- 7:59Speaker 1: daisy with their gifts. So rich Launcelot, launcelot, ride with

- 8:17Speaker 1: yellow as the corn o. Ye swans, Ye, wild white
- 8:22Speaker 1: swans spread each mighty feather bearing in the barky net
- 8:27Speaker 1: the life of one. So dear, urge your lofty pinions
- 8:31Speaker 1: through the stormy weather wing. The isle is near, Imogen, Imogen,
- 8:39Speaker 1: in the forest sleeping, Lift those lids of Heaven's own
- 8:43Speaker 1: tinked of white and azure laced, rise and cast the
- 8:47Speaker 1: flowers aside. What love went to their heaping With thee
- 8:52Speaker 1: we are graced all the dreams beyond beyond of a
- 8:57Speaker 1: slumbering fairy, all immortal visionings caught on the raptured wing,
- 9:03Speaker 1: all the heart of man can love, all his fancies. Airy,
- 9:08Speaker 1: join our joyous ring. Pride begone, thou hateful curse of
- 9:13Speaker 1: narrowed blood and breeding, cruel growth of heaveness and dull

- 9:45Speaker 2: dot Org by Paul Harvey. The Schoolboy, on some vacant
- 9:50Speaker 2: summer day, beneath the elm, sees in the rue decay
- 9:54Speaker 2: a prior's ancient stone, a memory high that gives a
- 9:58Speaker 2: noble worth to work and play. What joy when dewdrops
- 10:02Speaker 2: globe the morning sun, to bathe in roam, and when
- 10:06Speaker 2: the day is done, to watch afloat in the pale
- 10:09Speaker 2: crescent light the pirate royals mid the palm trees run.
- 10:14Speaker 2: And when he kneels on Sunday in the choir, while
- 10:17Speaker 2: the dark rays burn into dusky fire through founder's lofty arms,
- 10:23Speaker 2: is there no call to faith and valor from his
- 10:26Speaker 2: ghostly sire. September sunshine yellow as the leaves the home
- 10:32Speaker 2: returns on red November Eves, the queer old lights, haunting
- 10:36Speaker 2: the crumbling stone into the fabric of his dreams. He
- 10:40Speaker 2: weaves and deer in after muse will be the lore
- 10:45Speaker 2: caught from the murmurings of the Latin shore old, boming
- 10:49Speaker 2: of life's melancholy gold, dim quiet grief at peace forevermore
- 10:56Speaker 2: and of section five. This LibriVox recording is an in

- 11:09Speaker 3: Section six The Land of Heart's Desire by James Helthwaite,
- 11:14Speaker 3: read for LibriVox dot Org by Phil Shamph Oh, far oh,
- 11:20Speaker 3: far away, beyond the hills, over the level line of
- 11:24Speaker 3: fairy sills, the dwellers of the Plain of Pleasure gaze
- 11:28Speaker 3: in sad remembrance of the ancient days. In that old time,
- 11:33Speaker 3: the womb of morning bare, a purer gleam than ours,
- 11:37Speaker 3: a thinner air, and very earth was sown with light
- 11:41Speaker 3: that grew upbreaking into founts of living blue. The old
- 11:46Speaker 3: brown cabins nested on the earth, a quiet folk of
- 11:50Speaker 3: rustic love and mirth. Lily and rose were in the
- 11:54Speaker 3: women blent the heart of song. With all the people
- 11:58Speaker 3: went Primal voices still were heard around from beast and bird,
- 12:04Speaker 3: and in the solemn sound of moving waters and the
- 12:08Speaker 3: gentle breeze gave mystic meanings to the leaves of trees
- 12:13Speaker 3: lit with a shier gold than that of noon. Pure
- 12:16Speaker 3: angel heads leaned to the rising moon. To us, they
- 12:21Speaker 3: are but clouds with kindling fleece. To them, they were
- 12:25Speaker 3: soft harbingers of peace. The seasons flowed with song and laughter,
- 12:30Speaker 3: sweet and lightly passed the hours with flying feet. But
- 12:35Speaker 3: by the winter hearth they gathered all their wan romance
- 12:39Speaker 3: in music's dying fall, and mothers knelt above their children's nest,
- 12:45Speaker 3: or held the loved one to the deep cleft breast
- 12:49Speaker 3: lest the green people of the forest wild should change
- 12:52Speaker 3: the babe for a dark fairy child. Ah, if some
- 12:57Speaker 3: human bud were wrapped away, what watchings by the ford
- 13:02Speaker 3: at noon of day, when leaves were broad and long
- 13:06Speaker 3: in flame and shade and love had power upon the
- 13:10Speaker 3: fairy raid beyond beyond low in the quiet west, in
- 13:16Speaker 3: twilight region lay a land of rest of passioned rest,
- 13:21Speaker 3: untouch'd by passion's stings, beneath calm featured forms with folded wings.
- 13:29Speaker 3: At times a still small voice was heard to call,
- 13:33Speaker 3: naming some one unlasting sleep to fall, So death came.
- 13:39Speaker 3: Then the summoned one arose and passed alone, untroubled by
- 13:44Speaker 3: dim foes. But when some girl in beauty's early flower
- 13:49Speaker 3: heard in the rumor name and so brief hour, and
- 13:53Speaker 3: turn'd to say farewell, her lover's true went all the
- 13:57Speaker 3: way and made death, name them too, they come no more.
- 14:02Speaker 3: They will not come again, those far off days of
- 14:05Speaker 3: old dramatic pain, for faith is dying. Beauteous things are fled.
- 14:12Speaker 3: The heart of man to love and song is dead.

- 15:14Speaker 1: Farewell Alba. The harvest of the glen, the dawning swish

- 15:34Speaker 1: Farewell Alba, the soft blue dusk of eve, the children

- 16:52Speaker 1: a fee the tears that harpings move. Farewell, Alba. The
- 16:59Speaker 1: suns of us nach call fergus hath waked their love
- 17:03Speaker 1: of home, and now to erin they must roam where
- 17:07Speaker 1: the great doom is waiting, but to fall waiting in uldak,
- 17:12Speaker 1: in King Conan's hall, waiting beyond the foam Farewell Alba Earth,
- 17:19Speaker 1: open wide thy doors. Weep for my beauty, that it

- 19:59Speaker 4: dream Illyrian or by Ilissus wave those hours of childlike
- 20:05Speaker 4: gaze at life's soft beam their friends for fading beauty
- 20:10Speaker 4: midst the gleam of noble marbles, veined with violet against
- 20:15Speaker 4: the sea of azure, while the stream sang of some
- 20:20Speaker 4: thought eluding memory, yet some faint felicity we may not

- 20:37Speaker 4: fair rode and below in blossomed life. They bore the

- 22:55Speaker 4: Section eleven. Antigony by James Hebelthwaite read forlibrivox dot org
- 23:02Speaker 4: Biolum Mapstone methought. I heard a melancholy sound, a song
- 23:09Speaker 4: divine of pure immortal breath, and loitering near the parthenon,
- 23:15Speaker 4: I found the mourners of Antigony's lone death, wreathed with
- 23:21Speaker 4: wild olive from the sacred grove where flows the crystal
- 23:25Speaker 4: of Castallian Fount, the secret home of God Apollo's love,
- 23:31Speaker 4: went the fresh youth of valley plain and mount. This
- 23:36Speaker 4: flower of virgins made a perfect dirge for her who
- 23:40Speaker 4: sought so timelessly her grave, and strewed white violets from
- 23:45Speaker 4: the legged verge of Hellicon, white as the foamy wave
- 23:51Speaker 4: in that pellucid air. They walked along by marbles graved
- 23:55Speaker 4: in gold and fair with frost of snowy blossoms, and
- 23:59Speaker 4: they sang a song of grief for a great house
- 24:03Speaker 4: gone down and lost. And so they came thus, sorrowing
- 24:08Speaker 4: with tears, to the carved rocky seats, before a stage
- 24:12Speaker 4: whereon Antigony's last faltering fears enacted were from an old
- 24:18Speaker 4: yellow page. She stood a delicate and holy thought, clothed
- 24:24Speaker 4: in her lovely flesh, with gesture sweet unto the olive land,
- 24:29Speaker 4: so finely wrought, and all that once had stirred her
- 24:33Speaker 4: young heart's beat. Her eyes were full of tears, she
- 24:38Speaker 4: did not hear. Her lips that curred for love were
- 24:41Speaker 4: pale and mute. Her soul, regretting all that she held dear,
- 24:47Speaker 4: was whispering farewell to her low lute. Thus, through a
- 24:52Speaker 4: dream reluctantly she made her way to death without reproach
- 24:57Speaker 4: or cry for zeus. This girl, so sweet and unafraid
- 25:02Speaker 4: by other law, had I foredoomed to die. End of

- 25:19Speaker 4: Section twelve Ulysses by James Heppelthwaite read Forlibriyvox dot Org
- 25:27Speaker 4: by Alummapstone. The wise Ulysses climbs the rude old stair,
- 25:34Speaker 4: His wave worn raft sways idly at his feet to
- 25:38Speaker 4: lift the drooping sail. There is no air, and stillness
- 25:43Speaker 4: reigns around save for the beats of the faint ripples
- 25:48Speaker 4: that the Keystones meets with a lip sigh. And on
- 25:52Speaker 4: the amber floor of weed grown rock flit golden shadows, fleets,
- 25:58Speaker 4: and in the light blown mrm evermore Ulysses hears a
- 26:03Speaker 4: moan for happy days of yore. In silent sunshine lies
- 26:09Speaker 4: each winding street with flowers, all garlanded in a rich flow.
- 26:15Speaker 4: There comes no voice from the fair palaced seats. The
- 26:19Speaker 4: dawn's blue air is in a soft, pure glow from
- 26:23Speaker 4: some divinus well springs overflow of tender bliss, and in
- 26:29Speaker 4: the rainbow dew, and on the statue's limbs of carbon snow,
- 26:34Speaker 4: and on the column marble's peachy hue. The glad young
- 26:39Speaker 4: morning light trembles and blooms anew oh, hush, speak not
- 26:46Speaker 4: but lists, the silvery sound of flutes and pipes, the
- 26:51Speaker 4: merry clashing din, the cry of clear, sweet voices floating
- 26:56Speaker 4: round the temple porch. Oh, can it be a sea
- 27:00Speaker 4: to dream? Apollo and his shining kin have left the
- 27:04Speaker 4: glittering mounts. In colored weeds, they slowly loiter past, where
- 27:10Speaker 4: keen and thin, the hot light cleaves the ebbon shade
- 27:14Speaker 4: who leads this train of gentle youth fresh from the
- 27:19Speaker 4: flowery meads. Faint haunting winds of silver and fragrance breathe
- 27:26Speaker 4: the jews of morn about their garments, cling and round
- 27:31Speaker 4: their heads, light flaming flowers they wreathe, scattering the half
- 27:36Speaker 4: oaked buds the children bring and wavering move in a slow,
- 27:41Speaker 4: charming ring to sacred song. Then on again they roam
- 27:47Speaker 4: ulysses of their band and clearly sing in ravished harmony. Ah,

- 2:33:27Speaker 11: in crystal clear, the murmuring fall whispered the heart to
- 2:33:31Speaker 11: leave its cares. Then fine spun gold was all my
- 2:33:35Speaker 11: thought of you. I dreamed unto the verge of tears
- 2:33:39Speaker 11: and childheth songs I heard and far was in a

- 2:37:43Speaker 17: and clear, and its gray flow seemed calling to the
- 2:37:47Speaker 17: opening majesty of some high capital. The farther hills faintly
- 2:37:52Speaker 17: and purpled rose in tender folds, touching the white plumed clouds. Turning,
- 2:37:57Speaker 17: I saw beyond the neck the ocean's shimmering plane, aiden
- 2:38:01Speaker 17: of mystic longing and my feet. The eucalypts sprang from
- 2:38:05Speaker 17: a darkened mist, slashed on their roots with sunbeams, while
- 2:38:09Speaker 17: above the bowls were half in glow and half in shade,
- 2:38:13Speaker 17: and the hushed air that brimmed the valley deep was
- 2:38:16Speaker 17: yellow with a fume of golden light. Autumnal, sweet and
- 2:38:20Speaker 17: placid reconciled in this section seventy three. This recording is

- 2:38:34Speaker 11: Section seventy four. Credo by James Hebbelswaitte, Redferlaborbox dot Org
- 2:38:40Speaker 11: by high Abc, Credo Far in the Past, the dread
- 2:38:47Speaker 11: abysmal past. After the cooling of the pitsa fire, the
- 2:38:52Speaker 11: molten chasms and whirlpools of blown soil, pregnant became the
- 2:38:57Speaker 11: Earth with life, the gift from some power beyond her bound,
- 2:39:03Speaker 11: yet imminent in her and in her guest. Piercing concurring elements,
- 2:39:09Speaker 11: this pledge, molding the gnarly matter, organized a million evolutions,
- 2:39:15Speaker 11: leaguering with thrusted courage and intelligence, until from the amiba,
- 2:39:21Speaker 11: pilgrim man stood on the earth, care wounded but still glad,
- 2:39:27Speaker 11: Oh measureless. The march from opening life up to the
- 2:39:31Speaker 11: beauty of an images, the grandeur of a leer, the
- 2:39:35Speaker 11: mind sublime of island. Prospero came man by chance or accident,
- 2:39:41Speaker 11: or by directed growth, Oh measureless. The folly that believes
- 2:39:46Speaker 11: he rose to his estate by accident or wayward chance,
- 2:39:50Speaker 11: or that almighty God created in us thirst and hunger,
- 2:39:54Speaker 11: sore for immortality, but to deceive a sorry, jesting look
- 2:40:00Speaker 11: upon the stars and keep still silence, gross, creative, gross,
- 2:40:04Speaker 11: directed by the giver of all life. His self expression
- 2:40:09Speaker 11: is the quested word explaining man. He is the son
- 2:40:12Speaker 11: of God. And richly doth the Father give to him
- 2:40:18Speaker 11: innumerable joys. The vernal shower, the fresh blown rose, the
- 2:40:22Speaker 11: sun clad leafy hill, autumnal melancholy Ah, But all are
- 2:40:27Speaker 11: summed in love, in paradised, in love and uttering his name,
- 2:40:32Speaker 11: that potent word, deep with all worship, holy and divine.
- 2:40:38Speaker 11: We half awakened, know a trust profound, a reassuring for
- 2:40:42Speaker 11: our brooding on, and feel him as a unity of
- 2:40:46Speaker 11: love in truth and beauty seen in Jesus Christ immortal values.
- 2:40:52Speaker 11: And in the High Christ we drink the talice of
- 2:40:55Speaker 11: the life he brings in pure abundance, suffering a change
- 2:41:00Speaker 11: unto eternal values. Hence we share his glorious nature and infinity,
- 2:41:05Speaker 11: Oh raptured thought. But if we are at peace in
- 2:41:10Speaker 11: sweet felicity, if we regard death as adore into a
- 2:41:13Speaker 11: larger life unending, then most passionate must be our lives
- 2:41:18Speaker 11: with consolation for the world. End of Section seventy four,
