Blackfriars from East to West, because the divine Logos needs, with so yearning, so insatiable a need, to become incarnate in Persian as much as in Polish hearts, to be uttered as perfectly by the lips of a Shiriizi poet as in the cloistered Carmels of Spain, to be adored no less by fire-worshippers than by the worshippers of Gold !

DEATH '' Cupio dissolvi ''
T is not like a ship that creeps, I With broken helm and shattered mast, Saved from the anger of the deeps, Into the friendly port at last ;
But as a vessel proud and gay, With every shining sail set free, That casts its mooring-bonds away And glides into the endless sea.
