The nightingale and lark still sing In your tranced ears the bliss of love; The toying sylphs, on airy wing, Around your fragrant bosoms rove, Of yore, Dione's daughter twining In garlands sweet your cup-so shining, A pillow formed where love might rest! Spring's gentle children, mourn forever, The joys of love she gave ye never, Ne'er let ye know that feeling blest!
There came into my mind that exquisite and beautiful ode, the work too, strange to say, of a transcendent egotist, Coventry Patmore, and the prayer he made: "Ah, when at last we lie with tranced breath, Nor vexing Thee in death, And Thou rememberest of what toys We made our joys, How weakly understood Thy great commanded good, Then, fatherly not less Than I whom Thou hast moulded from the clay, Thou'lt leave Thy wrath, and say, 'I will be sorry for their childishness."
And yet yet something in the curve of her cheek she was looking down held me, drew me out of myself, as it might be into a tranced state in which a man is moved to contempt of all risks. "Dear, I loved you, even then," I said; "but then I thought you free." "So I was."
For an instant, the tranced boat's crew stood still; then turned. "The ship? Great God, where is the ship?"
It may be by hearty choice that we abide where we must forego outdoor roses in Christmas week and broad-leaved evergreens blooming at New Year's, Twelfth-night or Carnival. Well and good! But we can have even in mid-January, and ought to allow ourselves, the lawn-garden's surviving form and tranced life rather than the shrubless lawn's unmarked grave flattened beneath the void of the snow.
'I cannot feel jealousy, I cannot feel rivalry, said she, sad of voice. The humour of her tranced eyes in the shaking head provoked him to defend the baroness for her goodness of heart, her energy of brain. Clotilde 'tolled' her naughty head. 'But it is a strong face, she said, 'a strong face a strong jaw, by Lavater! You were young and daringly adventurous; she was captivating in her distress.
Coral only at lips And at sweet finger-tips, Melisselda. In the pride of her race As a sword shone her face, Melisselda. And her lips were steel bows, But her mouth was a rose, Melisselda." And in the eyes of the tranced listeners were tears of worship for Melisselda as for the Messiah's mystic Bride.
June, I think it was, she chose to represent that evening, and with her usual success; for no woman ever knew more thoroughly her material of shape or color, or how to work it up. Not an ill-chosen fancy, either, that of the moist, warm month. Some tranced summer's day might have drowsed down into such a human form by a dank pool, or on the thick grass-crusted meadows.
The tranced ship indolently rolls; the drowsy trade winds blow; everything resolves you into languor.
It was the state of subjection where the spirit set free lies tranced in the mighty influences which surround us invisibly until we have entered, though but for a moment, the Ninth Vibration. And now, with these Listeners about us, a clear voice began and stirred the air with music.
