MOSES<br />
Half beasts snorting into the light,<br />
A phantasmagoria, wild escapade<br />
To our hearts' clue ;<br />
just a daring plan<br />
To the honest mason. What swathed meanings<br />
peer<br />
From his work-a-day council, washed to and from<br />
Your understanding till you doubt<br />
That a word was said<br />
But a terror wakes and forces your eyes<br />
Into his covertly, to search his searching ;<br />
Startled to life, starved hopes slink out<br />
Cowering, incredulous.<br />
Old Hebrew<br />
\_To himself.] His youth is Mattered at Moses'<br />
kind speech to him.<br />
\To the<br />
Young Hebrew.]<br />
I am broken and grey, have seen much in my time,<br />
And all this gay grotesque of childish man<br />
Long passed ; half blind, half deaf, I only grumble<br />
I am not blind or deaf enough for peace.<br />
/JJiave seen splendid young fools cheat themselves<br />
Into a prophet's frenzy ;<br />
I have seen<br />
So many crazed shadows puffed away,<br />
And conscious cheats with such an ache for fame<br />
