Book Description
Excerpt from The Defeat of Youth and Other Poems The Defeat of Youth 1. Under the Trees. There had been phantoms, pale remembered shapes Of this and this occasion, sisterly In their resemblances, each effigy Crowned with the same bright hair above the nape's White rounded firmness, and each body alert With such swift loveliness, that very rest Seemed a poised movement: ... phantoms that im But a faint influence and could bless or hurt [pressed No more than dreams. And these ghost things were she; For formless still, without identity, Not one she seemed, not clear, but many and dim. One face among the legions of the street, Indifferent mystery, she was for him Something still uncreated, incomplete. II. Bright windy sunshine and the shadow of cloud Quicken the heavy summer to new birth Of life and motion on the drowsing earth; The huge elms stir, till all the air is loud With their awakening from the muffled sleep Of long hot days. And on the wavering line That marks the alternate ebb of shade and shine, Under the trees, a little group is deep In laughing talk. The shadow as it flows Across them dims the lustre of a rose, Quenches the bright clear gold of hair, the green Of a girl's dress, and life seems faint. The light Swings back, and in the rose a fire is seen, Gold hair's aflame and green grows emerald bright.

Book Description
In this rare volume of poetry, Aldous Huxley is characteristically, uncompromisingly erudite; yet surprisingly forceful, passionate, and erotic. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Excerpt from The Dance of Youth: And Other Poems To spring with animal rebound! They say That different cry, that different move or stay, First variant, where pregnant change began, Spelled the first, living, vibrant poem of man.

Book Description
Excerpt from Youthful Days, and Other Poems I have written this book with a view to impart Consolation to those of a sorrowful mind To the broken in spirit, the troubled of heart, To the widow, the orphan, the poor and the blind And if what is recorded should meet with success In accomplishing half it purposes to do, Be the good of the author, for greater or less, In proportion to that which is faithful and true. There are many who read for the sake of the rhyme Without ever reflecting on what they peruse For the poorest among us have valuable time, Which they wisely improve, or in idleness lose But the sum of the matter is easily told, And the proof is sufficient in every respect We are selling ourselves for the silver and gold Of this world, while our duty to God we neglect. And to what shall the profits of all we amass, Be directed when death has demanded its own For the glitter of wealth cannot purchase a pass, Through the portals of death, to a crown and a throne. We shall reap without fear - if we sow as we should, And have faith in the riches of grace to preserve All our labor; for God is infinitely good, And will judge us according to what we deserve.
