One after one, with sweet delay, The mellow sounds that cliff and island gave, Have lingered in the crescent bay, Until, by lightest breezes fanned, They float far off beyond the dying day And leave it still as death. But hark,-- Another singing breath Comes from the edge of dark; A note as clear and slow As falls from some enchanted bell, Or spirit, passing from the world below, That whispers back, Farewell. So in the heart, When, fading slowly down the past, Fond memories depart, And each that leaves it seems the last; Long after all the rest are flown, 11 Returns a solitary tone,-- The after-echo of departed years,-- And touches all the soul to tears. 1871. DULCIORA A tear that trembles for a little while Upon the trembling eyelid, till the world Wavers within its circle like a dream, Holds more of meaning in its narrow orb Than all the distant landscape that it blurs. A smile that hovers round a mouth beloved, Like the faint pulsing of the Northern Light, And grows in silence to an amber dawn Born in the sweetest depths of trustful eyes, Is dearer to the soul than sun or star. A joy that falls into the hollow heart From some far-lifted height of love unseen, Unknown, makes a more perfect melody Than hidden brooks that murmur in the dusk, Or fall athwart the cliff with wavering gleam. Ah, not for their own sake are earth and sky And the fair ministries of Nature dear, But as they set themselves unto the tune That fills our life; as light mysterious Flows from within and glorifies the world. For so a common wayside blossom, touched With tender thought, assumes a grace more sweet Than crowns the royal lily of the South; And so a well-remembered perfume seems 12 The breath of one who breathes in Paradise. 1872. THREE ALPINE SONNETS I THE GLACIER At dawn in silence moves the mighty stream, The silver-crested waves no murmur make; But far away the avalanches wake The rumbling echoes, dull as in a dream; Their momentary thunders, dying, seem To fall into the stillness, flake by flake, And leave the hollow air with naught to break The frozen spell of solitude supreme. At noon unnumbered rills begin to spring Beneath the burning sun, and all the walls Of all the ocean-blue crevasses ring With liquid lyrics of their waterfalls; As if a poet's heart had felt the glow Of sovereign love, and song began to flow. Zermatt, 1872. II THE SNOW-FIELD White Death had laid his pall upon the plain, And crowned the mountain-peaks like monarchs dead; The vault of heaven was glaring overhead With pitiless light that filled my eyes with pain; 13 And while I vainly longed, and looked in vain For sign or trace of life, my spirit said, "Shall any living thing that dares to tread This royal lair of Death escape again?" But even then I saw before my feet A line of pointed footprints in the snow: Some roving chamois, but an hour ago, Had passed this way along his journey fleet, And left a message from a friend unknown To cheer my pilgrim-heart, no more alone. Zermatt, 1872. III MOVING BELLS I love the hour that comes, with dusky hair And dewy feet, along the Alpine dells, To lead the cattle forth. A thousand bells Go chiming after her across the fair And flowery uplands, while the rosy flare Of sunset on the snowy mountain dwells, And valleys darken, and the drowsy spells Of peace are woven through the purple air.

    The Poems of Frithjof Schuon (1995-1998) The Poems of Frithjof Schuon (1995-1998) Volume 1 Adastra Stella Maris Autumn Leaves The Ring Translated from the German by William Stoddart This is a private edition printed by request only, and is not intended for sale to the general public. © World Wisdom, Inc., all rights reserved. This private edition of the poetry of Frithjof Schuon represents a first translation of the poems written during the last years of his life, as they were created in twenty-three separate volumes. For purposes of economy and space, it comprises the English translation only, without the original German. This translation is the work of William Stoddart, and is largely based on the author's dictated translations, as revised by Catherine Schuon. The order of the books follows the chronology in which they were created, rather than a grouping by collection. www.worldwisdom.com Contents Adastra 9 Stella Maris 81 Autumn Leaves 153 The Ring 237 Notes 306 Index of titles 308 Adastra A Garland of Songs Adastra As an Entry Out of my heart flowed many a song; I sought them not, they were inspired in me — O may the sound of the God-given harp Purify the soul and raise us to Heaven! May the light of wisdom unite With love to accompany our effort; And may our souls find grace: The Path from God to God, eternally. Adastra Ad astra — to the stars — the soul is striving, Called by an unstilled longing. O path of Truth and Beauty that I choose — Of God-remembrance which pervades the soul! Thou art the song that stills all longing — The light of grace; O shine into my heart! The Lord is our Refuge and our Shield — Be thou with Him and He will be with thee.

Something is happening out there. In re - cent years, at the city and at national levels, data are being collected, action plans are being implemented, and “live music offices” are being staffed. The evidence is conclusive. Under the right conditions a vibrant music scene positively affects community and economic development. Link it to tourism and it can really bring in the dollars and jobs. Austin, Nashville, New Orleans, and Berlin are clearly “music cities” where festivals, clubs and the supporting in - dustries provide jobs and attract tourist dollars.

    Hu 121 SALÁMÁN & ABSÁL AN ALLEGORY TRANSLATED FROM THE PERSIAN OF JÁMI BY EDWARD FITZGERALD LONDON ALEXANDER MORING LTD. THE DE LA MORE PRESS 298 REGENT STREET W MDCCCCIV [1904] This is a translation of an allegorical Sufi poem by the Persian Sufi poet Jami. Nur ad-Din Abd ar-Rahman Jami, (b. 1441 d. 1492), lived in what is today Afghanistan and Uzebekistan. The translator, Edward Fitzgerald, is best known for his translation of the Rubayyat of Omar Khayyam. This book has not been reprinted since it was published in the early 20th century, although the poem has been reprinted in conjunction with other Fitzgerald works. Scanned, proofed and formatted at sacred-texts.com by John Bruno Hare, September 2008. This text is in the public domain in the US because it was published prior to 1923. MY DEAR COWELL, Two years ago, when we began (I for the first time) to read this Poem together, I wanted you to translate it, as something that should interest a few who are worth interesting. You, however, did not see the way clear then, and had Aristotle pulling you by one Shoulder and Prakrit Vararuchi by the other, so as indeed to have hindered you up to this time completing a Version of Hafiz’ best Odes which you had then happily begun. So, continuing to like old Jámi more and more, I must try my hand upon him; and here is my reduced Version of a small Original. What Scholarship it has is yours, my Master in Persian and so much beside; who are no further answerable for all than by well liking and wishing publisht what you may scarce have Leisure to find due fault with.

  • Light, Life, and Love
    Light, Life, and Love Author(s): Inge, William Ralph (1860-1954) Eckhart, Johannes (c. 1260-1327) (Author of section) Tauler, John (c. 1300-1361) (Author of section) Suso, Henry (c. 1296-1366) (Author of section) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: This book has everything a reader needs to explore the world of German mysticism. William Inge begins with an introduc- tion of histories, biographies, and summaries of the move- ment, and his scholarly articles will prove useful for the stu- dent of mysticism. Then he includes in the book many ex- amples of the writings of the 14th century Dominicans, the Friends of God. These friends were an informal group of Catholics who strove to deepen both their communal relation- ships as well as their inner spirituality. Eckhardt, Tauler, and Suso were the major proponents of this theology, and each is represented in Inge©s collection.This book is a unique and convenient volume that will assist readers interested in the fascinating movement of German mysticism.

  • Songs of the Love of Radha and Krishna
    VIDYAPATI: BANGIYA PADABALI SONGS OF THE LOVE OF RADHA AND KRISHNA TRANS- LATED INTO ENGLISH BY ANANDA COOMARASWAMY AND ARUN SEN WITH INTRODUCTION AND NOTES AND ILLUS- TRATIONS FROM INDIAN PAINTINGS LONDON : THE OLD BOURNE PRESS, 15 HOLBORN, E.C. 1915. The whole creation will be consumed and appear infinite and holy, whereas it now appears finite and corrupt. This will come to pass by an improvement of sensual enjoyment. —William Blake. Be drunken with love, for love is all that exists. —Shamsi Tabriz. INTRODUCTION. VIDYAPATI THAKUR is one of the most renowned of the Vaishnava poets of Hindustan. Before him there had been the great Jayadeva, with his Gita Govinda made in Sanskrit ; and it is to this tradition Vidyapati belongs, rather than to that of Ramananda, Kablr, and Tul'sl Das, who sang of Rama and Sita. Vidyapati's fame, though he also wrote in Sanskrit, depends upon the wreath of songs {pada) in which he describes the courtship of God and the Soul, under the names of Krishna and Radha. These were written in Maithill, his mother-tongue, a dialect intermediate between Bengali and Hindi, but nearer to the former. His position as a poet and maker of language is analogous to that of Dante in Italy and Chaucer in England. He did not dis- dain to use the folk-speech and folk-thought for the expression of the highest matters. Just as Dante was blamed by the classical scholars of Italy, so Vidyapati was blamed by the pandits : he knew better, however, than they, and has well earned the title of Father of Bengali literature.
