Not illustrated. 1872 edition. Excerpt: ... THE RETURN OF THE GODS. 'Greece so thoroughly wrought out its conception of the beautiful human animal as to make an idol of it, and in order to glorify it on earth they made a divinity of it in heaven.'--The Philosophy of Art, by H. Tatne. LIKE one who looks over a city when day is beginning to break, I look o'er the million-homed age where we live, in the dusk of the dawn, Seeing the sunlight on steeples, or edging the turrets and towers, While the streets and the low-lying houses are grey in the gloaming or gloom. Light in the eye of the thinker; light on the brow of the wise, Dimmering shade in the spirit of him who is hopeless and low. But far on the fire-flashing mountains which circle the town of the time Flame brighter and higher the glories, though deeper and grander the gloom. Like gods freshly set on the summits, just resting a moment, but soon 1 The Return of the Gods. 7 To sweep down the sides to the valleys, and conquer the giants of night. Yes, they are coming in glory again to resplendour the world, The gods whom we thought were long-perished: Olympus is coming again. In the roar of the terrible engine, in boats which go onward by steam, Or the pathways of iron extending from ocean to ocean unbent, In bridges once buried, deep hidden, now binding the summits of cliffs; In wheels which are whirling for ever to multiply comfort for man: All this but the little beginning--all this but the mustard-seed small; When all is unfolded, oh Vulcan, wilt thou not be with us again?

Then Confucius said O secret Music sacred tongue of God I hear thee calling to me, and I come 2 Of old I did but know thy outer form And dreamed not of the spirit hid within The Goddess in the Lotus. Yes, I come, And will not rest - nor will I calm my doubt Till I have seen thee plainly with mine eyes, And palpably have touched thee with my hand, T ken shall I know thee - raised to life for me For what thou truly art. Lo I have heard That in the land of Kin a master lives, So deeply skilled in music, that mankind Begin again to give a glowing faith Unto the golden stories which are told Of the strange harmonies which built the world, And of the melody whose key is God. Now I will travel to the land of Kin, Arid know this sage of music, great Siang, And learn the secret lore which hides within All sweet well-ordered sounds.' He went his way, Nor rested till he stood before the man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
