Red and gold <br>The burning billows surged and rolled, <br>And upward tossed their caps of fire.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">He looked. And as he looked the sight <br>Sent from his soul through breast and brain <br>Such intense joy, it hurt like pain. <br>His heart seemed bursting with delight.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">So near the Unknown seemed, so close <br>He might have grasped it with his hand. <br>He felt his inmost soul expand, <br>As sunlight will expand a rose.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">One day he heard a singing strain-- <br>A human voice, in bird-like trills. <br>He paused, and little rapture-rills <br>Went trickling downward through each vein.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And in his heart the whole day long, <br>As in a temple veiled and dim, <br>He kept and bore about with him <br>The beauty of that singer's song.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And then? But why relate what then? <br>His smoldering heart flamed into fire-- <br>He had his one supreme desire, <br>And plunged into the world of men.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">For years queen Folly held her sway. <br>With pleasures of the grosser kind <br>She fed his flesh and drugged his mind, <br>Till, shamed, he sated turned away.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">He sought his boyhood's home. That hour <br>Triumphant should have been, in sooth, <br>Since he went forth an unknown youth, <br>And came back crowned with wealth and power.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The clouds made day a gorgeous bed; <br>He saw the splendor of the sky <br>With unmoved heart and stolid eye; <br>He knew only West was red.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then suddenly a fresh young voice <br>Rose, bird-like, from some hidden place, <br>He did not even turn his face; <br>It struck him simply as a noise.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">He trod the old paths up and down. <br>Their ruch-hued leaves by Fall winds whirled-- <br>How dull they were--how dull the world-- <br>Dull even in the pulsing town.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">O! worst of punishments, that brings <br>A blunting of all finer sense, <br>A loss of feelings keen, intense, <br>And dulls us to the higher things.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">O! penalty most dire, most sure, <br>Swift following after gross delights, <br>That we no more see beauteous sights, <br>Or hear as hear the good and pure.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">O! shape more hideous and more dread <br>Than Vengeance takes in creed-taught minds, <br>This certain doom that blunts and blinds, <br>And strikes the holiest feelings dead.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Ella+Wheeler+Wilcox">Ella Wheeler Wilcox</a><div class=q>
