Melilote Upon the waters mad with phallic fires Of day, the strong exultant face aspires The spiritual breath. The firm hands dote Upon the cloven chalice — see! there smote Therein The Substance, sum of God’s desires. Chalcedony and coral and chrysoprase! Quintessence of the life of moon and sun Ablaze, abloom, ablush, Hilarion, Within the compass of thy crimson Vase! Lo! on my knees I crave the Sacrament. . . . Lo! in my being buds the World’s Event!
