RECENT WORKS BY MR. BUCHANAN.

 THE CITY OF DREAM : 
 A NEW PILGRIMAGE. 
 
 Mr. W. E. H. LECKY, the historian, replying for Literature at the Royal 
 Academy Banquet, 1888, said : ' We have still great Painters among us. 
 The illustrious historian of the Crimean War (Kinglake) has completed his 
 noble historic gallery. . . And if it be said that this great master of pic- 
 turesque English was reared in the traditions of a more artistic age, I would 
 venture to point to a Poem which has been but a few weej<s in the world, 
 but which is destined, or I am much mistaken, to take a prominent place in 
 the literature of our time a Poem which, among other beauties, contains 
 pictures of the old Greek mythology, worthy to compare even with those 
 with which you, Mr. President, have so often delighted us. I refer to the 
 "City of Dream," by Robert Buchanan. While such works are produced 
 in England, it cannot, I think, be said that the artistic spirit in English 
 literature has very seriously decayed."

i'tither on Earth, for whom I wept berearen, 
 Father more dear than any Father in Hearoi, 
 Flesh of my flesh, heart of this heart of mini; 
 Still quick, though dead, in me, true son of thine, 
 I draw the. <j rare cloth from thy dear Jr,/,/ m/v,

 This wreath of Sony UJHHI thy holy head. 
 
 For since I live, I know thou art quick not dead, 
 And since thou art quick, yet d rawest no living breath, 
 I know, dear Father, that there is Life in Death. 
 
 This, too, my Saul hath found that if there were 
 No hope in Heaven, the world might well despair, 
 That thro' the mystery of my hope and lore

 1 reach the Mystery that dwells above . . . 
 Father on Earth, still lying calm and blest 
 After long years of trouble and sad unrest, 
 SUep, while the Christ I paint for men to see 
 Seeketh the Fatherhood I found in thee ! 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 
 
COME, Faith, with eyes of patient heavenward gaze ! 
 
 Come, Hope, with feet that bleed from thorny ways ! 
 
 With hand for each, leading those twain to me, 
 
 Come with thy gifts of grace, fair Charity ! 
 
 Bring Music too, whose voices trouble so 
 
 Our very footfalls as we grave ward go, 
 
 Whose bright eyes, as she sings to Humankind, 
 
 Shine with the glory of God which keeps them blind ! 
 
 Not to Parnassus, nor the Fabled Fount, 
 
 Nor to the folds of that Diviner Mount 
 
 Whereon our Milton kneeling prayed so deep, 
 
 But hither, to this City stretched asleep 
 
 In silence, to this City of souls bereaven, 
 
 I call you, last hierophants of Heaven ! 
 
 Come, Muses of the bleeding heart of Man, 
 
 Fairer than all the Nine Parnassian, 
 
4 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Fairer and clad in grace more heavenly 
 
 Than those sweet visions of Man's infancy, 
 
 Come from your lonely heights with song and prayer 
 
 To inspire an epos of the World's despair ! 
 
 For lo, to that White Light which floweth from Him 
 
 Before whose gaze all sense and sight grow dim, 
 
 Holpen by you, his Angels pure and strong, 
 
 With tears I raise this tremulous Prism of Song ! 
 
 shine thereon, White Light, and melted be 
 
 Into the hues that lose themselves in Thee, 
 
 And tho' they are broken and but faintly show 
 
 Hints of the ray no sight may see or know, 
 
 On the poor Song let some dim gleam remain 
 
 To prove that Light Divine is never sought in vain ! 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 As in the City's streets I wander'd late, 
 
 Bitter with God because my wrongs seem'd great, 
 
 Chiller at heart than the bleak winds that blew 
 
 Under the star-strewn voids of steel-bright blue, 
 
 Sick at the silence of the Snow, and dead 
 
 To the white Earth beneath and Heaven o'erhtad, 
 
 I heard a voice sound feebly at my side 
 
 In hollow human accents, and it cried 
 
 ' For God's sake, mortal, let me lean on thee ! ' 
 
 And as I turn'd in mute amaze to see 
 
 Who spake, there flew a whirlwind overhead 
 
 In which the lights of Heaven were darkened, 
 
 Shut out from sight or flickering sick and low 
 
 Like street-lamps when a sudden blast doth blow ; 
 
 But I could hear a rustling robe wind-swept 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 And a faint breathing ; then a thin hand crept 
 Into mine own, clammy and cold as clay ! 
 
 'Twas on that Night which ushereth in Christ's Day. 
 
 The winds had winnowed the drifts of cloud, 
 
 But the white fall had ceased. There, pale and proud 
 
 In streets of stone empty of life, while Sleep 
 
 In silvern mist hung beautiful and deep 
 
 Over the silent City even as breath, 
 
 I mused on God and Man, on Life and Death, 
 
 And mine own woe was as a glass wherein 
 
 I mirror'd God's injustice and Man's sin. 
 
 And so, remembering the time, I sneer'd 
 
 To think the mockery of Christ's birth-tide near'd, 
 
 And pitying thought of all the blinded herd 
 
 Who eat the dust and ashes of the Word, 
 
 Holding for all their light and all their good 
 
 The Woeful Man upon the Cross of wood ; 
 
 And bitterly to mine own heart I said, 
 
 ' In vain, in vain, upon that Cross he bled ! 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 In vain he swore to vanquish Death, in vain 
 He spake of that glad Eealm where he should reign ! 
 Lo, all his promise is a foolish thing, 
 F.lowers gathered by a child and withering 
 In the moist hand that holdeth them ; for lo ! 
 Winter hath come, and on his grave the snow 
 Lies mountain- deep ; and where he sleeping lies 
 We too shall follow soon and close our eyes 
 Unvex'd by dreams. The golden Dream is o'er, 
 And he whom Death hath conquer'd wakes no more ! 
 
 Even then I heard the desolate voice intone, 
 And the thin hand crept trembling in my own, 
 And while my heart shut sharp in sudden dread 
 Against the rushing blood, I murmured 
 4 Who speaks ? who speaks ? ' Suddenly in the sky 
 The Moon, a luminous white Moth, flew by, 
 And from her wings silent and mystical 
 Thick rays of vitreous dust began to fall, 
 Illuming Earth and Heaven ; when I was 'ware 
 
8 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Of One with reverend silver beard and hair 
 Snow-white and sorrowful, looming suddenly 
 In the new light like to a leafless Tree 
 Hung round with ice and magnified by mist 
 Against a frosty Heaven ! But ere I wist 
 Darkness return'd, the splendour died away, 
 And all I felt was that thin hand which lay 
 Fluttering in mine ! 
 
 Then suddenly again 
 
 I heard the tremulous voice cry out in pain 
 ' For God's sake, mortal, let me lean on thee ! ' 
 And peering thro' the dimness I could see 
 Snows of white hair blowing feebly in the wind ; 
 And deeply was I troubled in my mind 
 To see so ancient and so weak a Wight 
 At the cold mercy of the storm that night, 
 And said, while 'neath his wintry load he bent, 
 ' Lean on me, father ! ' adding, as he leant 
 Feebly upon me, wearied out with woe, 
 * Whence dost thou come ? and whither dost thou go ? ' 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 then, meseem'd, the womb of Heaven 'afar 
 Quickened to sudden life, and moon and star 
 Flash'd like the opening of a million eyes, 
 Dimming from every labyrinth of the skies 
 Their lustre on that Lonely Man ; and he 
 Loom'd like a comer from a far Countrie 
 In ragged antique raiment, and around 
 His waist a rotting rope was loosely bound, 
 And in one feeble hand a lanthorn quaint 
 Hung lax and trembling, and the light was faint 
 Within it unto dying, tho' it threw 
 Upon the snows beneath him light enew 
 To show his feeble feet were bloody and bare ! 
 
 Thereon, with deep-drawn breath and dull dumb stare, 
 ' Far have I travelled and the night is cold,' 
 He murmur'd, adding feebly, ' I am old ! ' 
 He spake like one whose wits are wandering, 
 And strange his accents were, and seem'd to bring 
 The sense of some strange region far away ; 
 
io THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 And like a caged Lion gaunt and grey 
 
 Who, looking thro' the bars, all woe-begone, 
 
 Beholdeth not the men he looketh on, 
 
 But gazeth thro' them on some lonely pool 
 
 Far in the desert, whither he crept to cool 
 
 His sunburnt loins and drink when strong and free, 
 
 Ev'n so with dull dumb stare he gazed thro' me 
 
 On some far bourne ; and tho' his eyes were bright 
 
 They seem'd to suffer from the piteous light 
 
 They shed upon me thro' his hoary hair ! 
 
 Then was I seized with wonder unaware 
 To see a man so old and strangely dight 
 Wandering alone beneath the Heavens that night ; 
 For round us were the silenced haunts of trade, 
 The public marts and buildings deep in shade, 
 All emptied of their living waters ; cold 
 And swift the stars did plunge thro' fold on fold 
 Of vaporous gauze, wind-driven ; and the street 
 Was washen everywhere around my feet 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 11 
 
 With smoky silver ; and the stillness round 
 
 Was dreadfuller by memory of the sound 
 
 Which fill'd the place all day from dawn to dark ; 
 
 And strange it was and pitiful to mark 
 
 The heavy snow of years upon this Man, 
 
 His furrow 'd cheeks down which the rheum-drops ran, 
 
 His wintry eyes that saw some summer land 
 
 Far off and very peaceful, while his hand 
 
 Dank as the drowned dead's lay loose in mine. 
 
 But, my fear lessening, eager to divine 
 What man he was, and thro' what cruel fate 
 He wander'd homeless and disconsolate, 
 Scourged by the pitiless God who hateth men, 
 A victim, the more piteous in his pain 
 Because that God had given him length of days, 
 I cried, ' Who art thou ? From what weary ways 
 Comest thou, father ? Thou art frail and old ! 
 Sad is thy lot upon a night so cold 
 To wander barefoot in a world of snow ! 
 
12 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Speak to me, father ! for I fain would know 
 What cruel Hand is on thee out of Heaven, 
 That by the wintry tempests thou art driven 
 Hither and thither ? Speak thy grief out strong, 
 For God, I know, is hard, and I, too, have my wrong 
 
 Then as I looked full eagerly on him, 
 
 And my limbs trembled, and mine eyes grew dim, 
 
 With dull still gaze he stared on thro' me 
 
 
 At that far bourne of rest his Soul could see, 
 
 And shiver'd as the frost took blood and bone, 
 And even as a feeble child might moan 
 He murmured, ' I am hungry and athirst ! ' 
 
 then my soul was sicken' d, and I curst 
 
 The winds and snows that smote this Man so old, 
 
 And drave him outcast thro' the wintry wold, 
 
 And made the belly of him tight with pain 
 
 For lack of food, and only with the rain 
 
 Moisten'd his toothless gums ! and 'neath my breath 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 13 
 
 I curst the pitiless Lord of Life and Death, 
 
 And * all the hate I bare for Him who wrought 
 
 This crumbling prison-house of flesh (methought) 
 
 Is vindicated by this Wight who bears 
 
 The rueful justification of grey hairs ! ' 
 
 And as I held his clay-cold hand, nor spake, 
 
 For I was hoarse with sorrow for his sake, 
 
 He cried in a strange, witless, wandering way, 
 
 Not loud, but as a burthen children say 
 
 When they have known it long by heart, ' Aye me ! 
 
 The blessed Night is dark on land and sea, 
 
 On tired eyes the dusts of Sleep are shed, 
 
 And yet I have no place to rest my head ! ' 
 
 Ev'n as he spake there flash'd across my sight 
 A glamour of the Sleepers of the Night : 
 The hushed rooms where dainty ladies dream, 
 And shaded night-lamps shed a slumberous gleam 
 Across the silken sheets and broider'd couch ; 
 The beggarman, a groat within his pouch, 
 
14 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Pillow'd on filthy rags and chuckling deep 
 Because his dreams are golden ; the sweet sleep 
 Of little children holding in pink palm 
 The fancied toy, and smiling ; slumbers calm 
 Of delicate-limb'd vestals, slumbers wild 
 Of puerperal women and of nymphs defiled 
 Wasting like rotten fruit ; as scenes we see 
 By lightning flashes, changing momently, 
 These visions came and went, each gleaming clear 
 Yet spectral, in the act to disappear ; 
 I ruark'd the long streets empty to the sky, 
 And every dim square window was an eye 
 That gazing dimly inward saw within 
 Some hidden mystery of shame or sin, 
 Lovebed and deathbed, raggedness and wealth, 
 Pale Murder, tiptoe, creeping on in stealth 
 With sharp uplifted knife, or haggard Lust 
 Mouthing his stolen fruit of tasteless dust ; 
 And then I saw strange huddled shapes that lay 
 In blankets under palm trees, while the day 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Drew far across the sands its bloodred line ; 
 The sailor drearily dozing, while the brine 
 Flash'd eyes of foam around him ; glimpses then 
 Of purple royal chambers, where pale men 
 Lay naked of their glory ; and of the warm 
 Bonfires on mountain sides, where many a form 
 Lay prone but gript the sword ; of halls of stone 
 Lofty and cold, where wounded men made moan, 
 And the calm nurse stole softly down the row 
 Of narrow sickbeds, like a ghost ; and lo ! 
 These pictures swiftly came and vanished 
 Like northern meteors, leaving as they fled 
 A trouble like the wash of leaden seas. 
 
 Then, while the glamour of such images 
 Weighed on my Soul, I said, ' Hard by I dwell, 
 Poor is the place, yet thou mayst find it well 
 After thy travail. Thither let us go ! ' 
 And by my side he falter'd feeble and slow, 
 Breathing the frosty air with pain, and soon 
 
1 6 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 .. 
 
 We reached a lonely Bridge o'er which the Moon 
 Hung phosphorescent, blinding with its wings 
 The lamps that flicker'd there like elfin things ; 
 But near us, on the water's brim, engloom'd 
 In its own night, a mighty Abbey loom'd, 
 Clothen with rayless snow as with a shroud ; 
 And suddenly that old Man cried aloud, 
 Lifting his weary face and woe-begone 
 Up to the painted windowpanes that shone 
 With frosty glimmers, ' Open, thou Priest 
 Who waitest in the Temple ! ' As he ceased, 
 The fretted arches echoed to the cry 
 And with a shriek the wintry wind went by 
 And died in silence. For a moment's space 
 He stood and listened with upturned face, 
 Then moan'd and faltered on in dumb despair, 
 Until we stood upon the Bridge, and there 
 The vitreous light was luminously drawn, 
 Making the lamps burn dim, as in a ghostly dawn. 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 17 
 
 II 
 
 VASTER and mightier a thousandfold 
 
 Than Babylon or Nineveh of old, 
 
 Shrouded in snow the silent City slept ; 
 
 And through its heart the great black Kiver crept 
 
 Snakewise, with sullen coils that as they wound 
 
 Flash 'd scales of filmy silver ; all around 
 
 The ominous buildings huddled from the light 
 
 With cold grey roofs and gables tipt with white, 
 
 And lines of lamps made a pale aqueous glow 
 
 With streaks of crimson in the pools below 
 
 Between the clustering masts. 'Twas still, like Death ! 
 
 Still as a snow-clad grave ! No stir ! No breath ! 
 
 A mist of silence o'er the City asleep, 
 
 A frozen smoke of incense that did creep 
 
 From Life's deserted Altar. And on high 
 
i8 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Clouds white as wool that melted o'er the sky 
 Before the winnowing beams. In Heaven's Serene 
 No sound ! no stir ! but all the still stars, green 
 With their exceeding lustre, shedding light 
 From verge to verge of the great dome of Night, 
 And scattering hoarfrost thro' the lustrous space 
 Between their spheres and the dark dwelling place 
 Of mortals blind to sight and dead to sound. 
 
 So lay the silent City glory-crowned, 
 All the rich blood of human life that flows 
 Thro' its dark veins hushed in deep repose, 
 The pulses of its heart scarce felt to beat, 
 Calm as a corpse, the snow its winding sheet, 
 The sky its pall ; and o'er its slumbers fell 
 The white Moon's luminous and hypnotic spell, 
 As when some bright Magician's hands are prest 
 With magic gloves upon a Monster's breast, 
 So that the heart just flutters, and the eyes 
 Shut drowsily ! But it drearn'd beneath the skies 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 19 
 
 God knows what dreams ! What dreams of Heavens 
 
 unknown, 
 
 Where sits the Lord of Life on his white Throne, 
 While angel-wings flash thick as fowl that flee 
 Round islands Hebridean, when the Sea 
 Burns to a molten sapphire of dead calm ! 
 
 Upon my fever'd eyes fell soft as balm 
 
 The ablution of the Midnight, as once more 
 
 I led that old Man weary and footsore, 
 
 Guiding his steps, while ever and anon 
 
 He paused in pain ; and thro' the light that shone 
 
 O'er the still Bridge we falter 'd, with no sound. 
 
 Then, as he paused for breath, and gazed around, 
 Again I questioned gently whence he came, 
 His place of birth, his kindred, and his name, 
 And whisper'd softly, ' I can surely see 
 Thou art a comer from a far Countrie, 
 And thou art very old ! ' So old ! so old ! ' 
 
 c 2 
 
20 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 He answered, shivering in the moonlight cold ; 
 
 Then raised his head, upgazing thro' the Night, 
 
 And threw his arms up quick, and rose his height, 
 
 Crying, ' For ever at the door of Death 
 
 Faintly I knock, and when it openeth 
 
 Would fain creep in, but ever a Hand snow-cold 
 
 Thrusteth me back into the open wold, 
 
 And ever a voice intones early and late 
 
 " Until thy work is done, remain and wait ! " 
 
 And century after century I have trod 
 
 The infinitely weary glooms of God, 
 
 And lo ! the Winter of mine age is here ! ' 
 
 Even as he spake, in a low voice yet clear, 
 
 Clinging upon me, with his hungry eyes 
 
 Cast upward at the cold and pitiless skies, 
 
 His white hair blent with snows around him blown, 
 
 And his feet naked on the Bridge of stone, 
 
 Methought I knew that Wanderer whom God's curse 
 
 Scourgeth for ever thro' the Universe 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 21 
 
 Because he mocked with words of blasphemy 
 God's Martyr on the path to Calvary, 
 Yea, did deny him on his day of Death ! 
 Wherefore, with shuddering sense and bated breath 
 I gazed upon him. Shivering he stood there, 
 The consecration of a vast despair 
 Cast round him like a raiment ; and ere I knew 
 I moaned aloud, ' Thou art that Wandering Jew 
 Whose name all men and women know too well ! ' 
 
 Strangely on me his eyes of sorrow fell, 
 And bending low, as doth a wind-blown tree, 
 In a low voice he answer'd : 
 
 ' I am He ! ' 
 
22 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 III 
 
 NIGHT of wonder ! enchanted Night ! 
 Full of strange whisperings and wondrous light, 
 How shall I, singing, summon up again 
 Thine hours of awe and deep miraculous pain ? 
 For as I stood upon those streets of stone 
 
 1 seem'd to hear the wailing winds intone 
 ' AHASUEEUS ! ' while with lips apart, 
 
 His thin hand prest upon his fluttering heart, 
 His face like marble lit by lightning's glare, 
 His frail feet bleeding, and his bosom bare, 
 List'ning he stood ! 
 
 From the blue Void o'erhead 
 
 Starlight and moonlight round his shape were shed, 
 And the chill air was troubled all around 
 With piteous wails and echoes of such sound 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 23 
 
 As fills the great sad Sea on nights of Yule, 
 When all the cisterns of the heavens are full 
 And one great hush precedes the coming Storm. 
 And like a snow- wrapt statue seem'd the form 
 I looked on, and of more than mortal height ! 
 Wintry his robe, his hair and beard snow-white 
 Frozen like icicles, his face all dim, 
 And in the sunken, sunless eyes of him 
 Silent despair, as of a lifeless stone ! 
 
 And then meseem'd that in some frozen zone, 
 
 Where never flower doth blossom or grass is green, 
 
 Chill'd to the heart by cruel winds and keen 
 
 Shiv'ring I stood, and the thick choking breath 
 
 Of Frost was round me, terrible as Death, 
 
 And he I look'd on was a figure wan 
 
 Hewn out of snow in likeness of a Man ; 
 
 And all the silent City in a trice 
 
 Was turn'd to domes and towers of rayless ice, 
 
 As of some spectral City whose pale spires 
 
24 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Are lighted dimly with the auroral fires 
 That gleam for ever at the sunless Pole ! 
 
 How long this glamour clung upon my Soul 
 I know not ; but at last methought I spake, 
 Like one who, fresh from vision, half awake, 
 Murmurs his thought ' Father of men that roam, 
 Outcast from God and exile from thy home, 
 (If such there be for any Soul in need) 
 I will not say, God bless thee, since indeed 
 God's blessing is a burthen and a blight ; 
 Yet will I bless thee, in that God's despite, 
 Knowing thy sorrow manifold and deep. 
 Aye me, aye me, what may I do but weep, 
 Seeing thy poor grey hair, and frail shape driven 
 Hither and thither by the winds of Heaven, 
 Sharing thy sorrow, hearing thy sad moan 
 That penetrates all hearts but God's alone, 
 Knowing thee mortal, yet predoom'd to fare 
 For ever, with no restplace anywhere, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 25 
 
 Although all other mortal things may die ! 
 Death is the one good thing beneath the sky ; 
 Death is the one sweet thing that men may see ; 
 Yet even this God doth deny to thee ! 
 Thou canst not die ! ' With feeble lips of clay 
 He answered, yet the voice seem'd far away, 
 ' Yea, Death is best, and yet I cannot die ! ' 
 
 Before my vision, as I heard the cry, 
 
 There flash'd a glamour of the Dead ; and lo ! 
 
 I saw a hooded Phantom come and go 
 
 Across great solitary plains by night, 
 
 Red with all nameless horror of the fight, 
 
 And dead white faces glimmer'd from the sward, 
 
 And here a helmet gleamed and there a sword, 
 
 And all was still and dreadful, and the scent 
 
 Of carnage thickened where the Phantom went. 
 
 This faded, and methought I stood stone-still 
 
 In a great Graveyard strewn with moonbeams chill 
 
 Like bleaching shrouds, and through the grassy glooms 
 
26 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Pale crosses glimmer'd and great marble tombs ; 
 But as I crost my frozen hands to pray 
 The apparition changed and died away, 
 And I was walking very silently 
 Some oozy bottom of the sunless Sea. 
 And midst the sombre foliage I could mark 
 Black skeletons of many a shipwreck'd bark 
 Within whose meshes, washing to and fro, 
 Were skeletons of men as white as snow 
 Picked clean by many a hideous ocean-thing. 
 The waters swung around me as they swing 
 Bound drowning men, and with a choking pain 
 I struggled, and that moment saw again 
 The sleeping City and the cold Moonshine, 
 And in the midst, with his blank eyes on mine, 
 That Man of Mystery who could not die ! 
 
 And lo, his lips were opened with a cry, 
 
 And his lean hands were stretched up to Heaven. 
 
 ' Ah, woe is me,' he said, ' to stand bereaven 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 27 
 
 Of that which every man of clay may share ! 
 
 Eternity hath snowed upon my hair, 
 
 And yet, though feeble and weary, I endure. 
 
 Still might I fare, if Death at last were sure, 
 
 If I might see, eternities away, 
 
 A grave, wide open, where my feet might stay ! ' 
 
 Then in a lower voice more deep with dread, 
 
 * Father which art in Heaven/ the old Man said, 
 
 ' Thou from the holy shelter of whose wing 
 
 I came, an innocent and shining thing, 
 
 A lily in my hand and in mine eyes 
 
 The passion and the peace of Paradise, 
 
 Thou who didst drop me gently down to rest 
 
 A little while upon my Mother's breast, 
 
 Wrapt in the raiment of a mortal birth, 
 
 How long, how long, across thy stricken Earth 
 
 Must I fare onward, deathless ? Tell me, when 
 
 May / too taste the cup thou givest to men, 
 
 My brethren and thy children and the heirs 
 
 Of all my spirit's sorrows and despairs ? 
 
28 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 My work is o'er my sin (if sin there be) 
 
 Is buried with the bones of Calvary ; 
 
 My blessing has been spoken, and my curse 
 
 Is winged vengeance in thy Universe ; 
 
 My voice hath thrill'd thy dark Eternity 
 
 To protestation and to agony, 
 
 And Man hath listen'd with wild lips apart 
 
 As to a cry from his own breaking heart ! 
 
 What then remains for me to do, God, 
 
 But fold thin hands and bend beneath thy rod, 
 
 And ask for respite after labour done ? ' 
 
 In sorrow and in awe he spake, as one 
 Communing with some Shape I could not mark, 
 And all his words seem'd wild, his meaning dark ; 
 And as he ceased the Heavens grew dark in woe, 
 And faster, thicker, fell the encircling Snow, 
 Wrapping him with its whiteness round and round ; 
 But from the Void above no sign, no sound, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 29 
 
 Came answering his prayer. 
 
 Father,' I said, 
 
 ' Chill falls the snow upon thy holy head, 
 (Yea, holy through much sorrow 'tis to me) 
 And He to whom thou prayest so piteously 
 Hears not, and will not hear, and hath not heard 
 Since first the Spirit of Man drew breath and stirred ! 
 Let us seek shelter ! ' But I spake in vain 
 He heard not ; but as one that dies in pain 
 Sank feebly on the parapet of stone. 
 
 Upon his naked breast the Snow was blown 
 Thicker and colder on his hoary head 
 Heavily like a cruel hand of lead 
 It thickened so he stood from head to feet 
 Smother 'd and wrapt as in a winding sheet, 
 Forlorn and weary, panting, overpowered. 
 
 Then lo ! a miracle ! For a space he cowered 
 
30 THE WANDERING JEW u 
 
 As if o'ermastered by the cruel touch, 
 
 But all at once, as one that suffers much 
 
 Yet quickeneth into anger suddenly, 
 
 He said, in a sharp voice of sovereignty, 
 
 ' Cease, cease ! ' and at the very voice's sound, 
 
 The white Snow wildly wavering round and round 
 
 Eose like a curtain, leaving all things bright ! 
 
 Spell-bound and wonder-stricken at the sight, 
 And comprehending not its import yet, 
 (For still my Soul with fever and with fret 
 Was laden, and I bore upon my mind 
 The darkness of that doubt that keeps men blind) 
 I cried, ' See ! see ! the elemental Snow 
 Obeys thy call, in pity for thy woe 
 Gentler than He who fashioned men for pain, 
 The white Snow and the wild Wind and the Eain 
 Would bless thee, and there is no cruel beast 
 Which He hath made, the greater or the least, 
 Which would not spare thy life and lick thy hand, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 31 
 
 Poor outcast comer from a lonely land. 
 Yea, only God is cruel Only He 
 Whose foot is on the Mountains and the Sea, 
 And on the bruised frame and flesh of Man ! * 
 
32 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 IV 
 
 Lo, now the Moonlight lit his features wan 
 With spectral beams, and o'er his hoary hair 
 A halo of brightness fell, and rested there ! 
 And while upon his face mine eyes were bent 
 In utterness of woeful wonderment, 
 Into mine ear the strange voice crept once more 
 ' Far have I wandered, weary and spirit-sore, 
 And lo ! wherever I have chanced to be, 
 All things, save men alone, have pitied me ! ' 
 
 Then then even as he spake, forlornly crown'd 
 By the cold light that wrapt him round and round, 
 I saw upon his twain hands raised to Heaven 
 Stigmata bloody as of sharp nails driven 
 Thro' the soft palms of mortals crucified ! 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 33 
 
 And swiftly glancing downward I descried 
 Stigmata bloody on the naked feet 
 Set feebly on the cold stones of the street ! 
 And moveless in the frosty light he stood, 
 Ev'n as one hanging on the Cross of wood ! 
 
 Then, like a lone man in the north, to whom 
 The auroral lights on the world's edge assume 
 The likeness of his gods, I seem'd to swoon 
 To a sick horror ; and the stars and moon 
 Reel'd wildly o'er me, swift as sparks that blow 
 Out of a forge ; and the cold stones below 
 Chattered like teeth ! For lo, at last I knew 
 The lineaments of that diviner Jew 
 Who like a Phantom passeth everywhere, 
 The World's last hope and bitterest despair, 
 Deathless, yet dead ! 
 
 Unto my knees I sank, 
 
 And with an eye glaz'd like the dying's drank 
 The wonder of that Presence ! 
 
34 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 u 
 
 White and tall 
 
 And awful grew He in the mystical 
 Chill air around Him, at His mouth a mist 
 Made by His frosty breathing ! Then I kissed 
 His frozen raiment-hem, and murmured 
 ' Adonai ! Master ! Lord of Quick and Dead ! ' 
 'Twas more than heart could suffer and still beat- 
 So with a hollow moan I fainted at his feet ! 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 35 
 
 YE, ye ancient men born yesterday, 
 
 Some few of whom may in this Yuletide lay 
 
 Feel echoes of your own hearts, listen on, 
 
 Till the faint music of the harp is gone 
 
 And the weak hand drops leaden down the string ! 
 
 For lo, I voice to you a mystic thing 
 
 Whose darkness is as full of starry gleams 
 
 As is a tropic twilight ; in your dreams 
 
 This thing shall haunt you, and become a sound 
 
 Of friendship in still places, and around 
 
 Your lives this thing shall deepen, and impart 
 
 A music to the trouble of the heart, 
 
 So that perchance, upon some gracious day, 
 
 Ye may bethink you of the Song, and pray 
 
 That God may bless the Singer for your sake ! 
 
 D 2 
 
36 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 u 
 
 Not unto bliss and peace did I awake 
 From that deep swoon, nor to the garish light 
 Wherein all spiritual things grow slight 
 And vanish nay ! the midnight and the place 
 Had changed not, and o'er me still the Face 
 Shone piteously serene ; I felt its ray 
 On mine unclosed eyelids as I lay ; 
 Then gazing up, blinking mine eyes for dread 
 Of some new brightness, I discern'd instead 
 That Man Forlorn, and as I gazed he smiled 
 Even as a Father looking on a child ! 
 Aye me ! the sorrow of that smile ! 'Twas such 
 As singer ne'er may sing or pencil touch ! 
 But ye who have seen the light that is in snow, 
 The glimmer on the heights where sad and slow 
 Some happy day is dying ye who have seen 
 Strange dawns and moonlit waters, woodlands green 
 Troubled with their own beauty ; think of these, 
 And of all other tender images, 
 Then think of some beloved face asleep 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 37 
 
 'Mid the dark pathos of the grave, blend deep 
 Its beauty with all those until ye weep, 
 And ye may partly guess the woe divine 
 Wherewith that Face was looking down on mine, 
 While trembling, wondering, like a captive thrown 
 By cruel hands into some cell of stone, 
 Who waiting Death to end his long despair 
 Sees the door open and a friend stand there 
 Bringing new light and life into his prison, 
 I faltered, ' Lord of Life, hast thou arisen ? ' 
 
 ' Arisen ! Arisen ! Arisen ! ' 
 
 At the word 
 
 The silent cisterns of the Night were stirred 
 And plash'd with troublous waters, and in the sky 
 The pale stars clung together, while the cry 
 Was wafted on the wind from street to street ! 
 Like to a dreaming man whose heart doth beat 
 With thick pulsations, while he fights to break 
 The load of terror with a shriek and wake, 
 
38 , THE WANDER-ING JEW 
 
 The sleeping City trembled thro' and thro' ; 
 
 And in its darkness, open'd to my view 
 
 As by enchantment, those who slumbered 
 
 Eose from their pillows, listening in dread ; 
 
 And out of soot-black windows faces white 
 
 Gleamed ghost-like, peering forth into the night ; 
 
 And haggard women by the Eiver dark, 
 
 Crawling to plunge and drown, stood still to heark ; 
 
 And in the silent shrouded Hospitals, 
 
 Where the dim night-lamp flickering on the walls 
 
 Made woeful shadows, men who dying lay, 
 
 Picking the cover lit as they pass'd away 
 
 And babbling babe-like, raised their heads to hear, 
 
 While all their darkening sense again grew clear 1 , 
 
 And moaned ' Arisen ! Arisen ! ' and in his cell 
 
 The Murderer, for whom the pitiless bell 
 
 Would toll at dawn, sat with uplifted hair 
 
 And broke to piteous impotence of prayer ! 
 
 Then all grew troubled as a rainy Sea, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 39 
 
 I sank in stupor, struggling to be free 
 Even as a drowning wight ; and as the brain 
 Of him who drowneth flasheth with no pain 
 Into a sudden vision of things fled, 
 Faces forgotten, places vanished 
 Came, went, and came again, and 'mid it all 
 I knew myself the weary, querulous, small, 
 Weak, wayward Soul, with little hope or will, 
 Crying for ' God, God, God,' and thrusting still 
 Cain's offering on His altar. All this past 
 Then came a longer darkness and at last 
 I found myself upon my feet once more 
 Tottering and faint and fearful, a dull roar 
 Of blood within mine ears, still crying aloud 
 ' Arisen ! Arisen ! Arisen ! ' . . . 
 
 Whereon the cloud 
 
 Of wonder lifted, and again mine eyes 
 Saw the sad City sleeping 'neath the skies, 
 Silent and flooded with the white Moon's beams 
 As still as any City seen in dreams ; 
 
40 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 And lo ! the great Bridge, and the Eiver that ran 
 
 Blindly beneath it, and that hoary Man 
 
 Standing thereon with naked pierced feet 
 
 Uplooking to the Heavens as if to meet 
 
 Some vision ; and the abysses of the air 
 
 Had opened, and the Vision was shining there ! 
 
 Far, far away, faint as a filmy cloud, 
 
 A Form Divine appeared, her bright head bowed, 
 
 Her eyes down-looking on a Babe she prest 
 
 In holy rapture to her gentle breast, 
 
 And tho' all else was ghost-like, strange, and dim, 
 
 A brightness touched the Babe and cover'd Him, 
 
 Such brightness as we feel in summer days 
 
 When hawthorn blossoms scent the flowery ways 
 
 And all the happy clay is verdure-clad ; 
 
 And the Babe seem'd as others who make glad 
 
 The homes of mortals, and the Mother's face 
 
 Was like a fountain in a sunny place 
 
 Giving and taking gladness, and her eyes 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 41 
 
 Beheld no other sight in earth or skies 
 Save the blest Babe on whom their light did shine ; 
 But he, that little one, that Babe Divine, 
 Gazed down with reaching hands and face aglow 
 Upon the Lonely Man who stood below 
 And smiled upon him, radiant as the morn ! 
 Whereat the weary Christ raised arms forlorn 
 And answer'd with a thin despairing moan ! 
 And at the sound Darkness like dust was blown 
 Over the Heavens, and the sweet Vision fled, 
 And all that wonder of the night was dead ! . . . . 
 
 Yet still I saw him looming woebegone 
 
 Upon the lonely Bridge, and faltering on 
 
 With feeble feet beneath the falling snow, 
 
 And in his hand the lamp hung, flickering low 
 
 As if to die, yet died not. Far away 
 
 He seemed now, altho' so near, a grey 
 
 Ghost seen in dreams ; yet even as dreams appear 
 
 To one who sleeps more mystically clear 
 
42 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Than any vision of the waking sight, 
 
 He shone upon the sadness of the Night 
 
 As softly as a star, while all around 
 
 Loom'd the great City, sleeping with no sound 
 
 Save its own deep-drawn breath. Yet I could 
 
 mark 
 The glimmer of eyes that watched him from the 
 
 dark 
 
 Shadows heyond the Bridge, and, where the rays 
 Of the dim moonlight lit the frozen ways, 
 Shapes crouching low or crawling serpent-wise 
 Waited to catch the pity of his eyes 
 Or touch his raiment-hem ! 
 
 Then, while I wept 
 For pity of his loneliness, and crept 
 In wonder after him, with bated breath, 
 Fell a new Darkness deep and dread as Death ; 
 And from the Darkness came tumultuously 
 Clangour and roar as of a storm-torn Sea, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 43 
 
 And, shrill as shrieks of ocean-birds that fly 
 Over the angry waters, rose the cry 
 Of human voices ! 
 
 Then the four Winds blew 
 Their clarions, while the stormy tumult grew, 
 And all was dimly visible again. 
 
44 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 VI 
 
 METHOUGHT I stood upon an open Plain 
 
 Beyond the City, and before my face 
 
 Kose, with mad surges thundering at its base, 
 
 A mountain like Golgotha ; and the waves 
 
 That surged round its sunless cliffs and caves 
 
 Were human countless swarms of Quick and Dead ! 
 
 Then, while the fire-flaught flickered overhead, 
 
 I saw the Phantoms of Golgotha throng 
 
 Around that ancient Man, who trailed along 
 
 A woeful Cross of Wood ; and as he went, 
 
 His body bruised and his raiment rent, 
 
 His bare feet bleeding and his force out- worn, 
 
 They pricked him on with spears and laughed in scorn, 
 
 Shouting, ' At last Thy Judgment Day hath come ! ' 
 
. THE WANDERING JEW 45 
 
 And when he faltered breathless, faint, and dumb, 
 And stumbled on his face amid the snows, 
 They dragged him up and drave him on with blows 
 To that black Mountain ! 
 
 Then my soul was 'ware 
 Of One who silent sat in Judgment there 
 Shrouded and spectral ; lonely as a cloud 
 He loomed above the surging and shrieking crowd. 
 Human he seemed, and yet his eyeballs shone 
 From fleshless sockets of a Skeleton, 
 And from the shroud around him darkly roll'd 
 He pointed with a fleshless hand and cold 
 At those who came, and, in a voice that thrill'd 
 The tumult at his feet till it was still'd, 
 Cried : 
 
 ' Back, ye Waters of Humanity ! 
 Wait and be silent. Leave this Man to me. 
 The centuries of his weary watch have pass'd, 
 And lo ! the Judgment Time is ripe at last. 
 
46 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Stand up, thou Man whom men would doom to death, 
 And speak thy Name !' 
 
 * JESUS OF NAZARETH ! ' 
 Answer'd the Man. 
 
 And as he spake his name, 
 The multitude with thunderous acclaim 
 Shriek'd ! 
 
 But again the solemn voice, which thrill'd 
 The tumult and the wrath till they were still' d, 
 Cried : 
 
 * Peace, ye broken hearts, have patience yet ! 
 This Man is surely here to pay his debt 
 To Death and Time.' 
 
 And to the Man he said : 
 
 ' Jesus of Nazareth, lift up thy head 
 And hearken ! Brought to face Eternity 
 By men, thy brethren, form'd of flesh like thee, 
 Brought here by men to me, the Spirit of Man, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 47 
 
 To answer for thy deeds since life began, 
 
 Brought hither to Golgotha, whereupon 
 
 Thyself wast crucified in days long gone, 
 
 Thou shalt be judged and hear thy judgment spoken 
 
 Before the World whose slumbers thou hast broken. 
 
 Thou saidst, " I have fought with Death and am the 
 
 stronger ! 
 
 Wake to Eternal Life and sleep no longer ! " 
 And men, thy brethren, troubled by thy crying, 
 Have rush'd from Death to seek the Life undying, 
 And men have anguish'd, wearied out with waiting 
 For the great unknown Father of thy creating, 
 And now for vengeance on thy head they gather, 
 Crying, " Death reigns ! There is no God no Father ! " ' 
 
 He ceased, and Jesus spake not, but was mute 
 In woe supreme and pity absolute. 
 
 Then calmly amid the shadows of the Throne 
 
 Another awful shrouded Skeleton, 
 
 Human yet more than human, rose his height, 
 
48 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 With baleful eyes of wild and wistful light, 
 And said : * 
 
 ' Judge, Death reigned since Time began, 
 Sov'ran of Life and Change ! and ere this Man 
 Came with his lying dreams to break our rest 
 The reign of Death was beautiful and blest ! 
 But now within the flesh of men there grows 
 The poison of a Dream that slays repose, 
 The trouble of a mirage in the air 
 That turneth into terror and despair ; 
 So that the Master of the World, ev'n Death, 
 Hated in his own kingdom, travaileth 
 In darkness, creeping haunted and afraid, 
 Like any mortal thing, from shade to shade, 
 From tomb to tomb ; and ever where he flies 
 The seed of men shrink with averted eyes, 
 And call with mad yet unavailing woe 
 On this Man and his God to lay Death low. 
 Wherefore the Master of the Quick and Dead 
 Demandeth doom and justice on the head 
 
. THE WANDERING JEW 49 
 
 Of Him, this Jew, who hath usurp'd the throne 
 
 The Lord of flesh claims ever for his own. 
 
 This Jew hath made the Earth that once was glad 
 
 A lazar-house of woeful man and mad 
 
 Who can yet will not sleep, and in their strife 
 
 For barren glory and eternal Life, 
 
 Have rent each other, murmuring his Name ! ' 
 
 He paused and from the listening host there came 
 Tumult nor voice there was no sound, no stir, 
 But all was hushed as a death-chamber ; 
 And while that pallid shrouded Skeleton 
 In a low voice like funeral bells spake on, 
 From heart to heart a nameless horror ran. 
 
50 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 VII 
 
 ' IN the name of all men I arraign this Man, 
 Named Jesus, son of Joseph, and self-styled 
 The Son of God ! 
 
 ' Born in the East, the child 
 Of Jewish parents, toiling for their bread, 
 He grew to manhood, following, it is said, 
 His father's humble trade of carpentry ; 
 But hearing one day, close to Galilee, 
 One John, a madman, in the desert crying, 
 Baptising all who came and prophesying, 
 This Jesus also long'd to prophesy ; 
 And lo ! ere very many days went by, 
 He left his tools, forsook his native town, 
 And for a season wandered up and down 
 On idle preaching bent. Now, as we know, 
 Madness and Falsehood wedded are, and grow 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 51 
 
 With what they breed ; so the Accused ere long, 
 
 Finding his audience fit, his rivals strong 
 
 (For prophets in those realms were thick as bees), 
 
 Began to invent such fables as might please 
 
 The ears of ignorant wonder- seeking men, 
 
 And finding 'mong the Jewish race just then 
 
 The wild old prophecy of a Christ and King, 
 
 Destined to lead the race, still lingering, 
 
 He threw the royal raiment ready made 
 
 On his bare back, and blasphemously played 
 
 The Christ they craved for Inext, to clinch his claim, 
 
 And prove his Godhead not an empty name, 
 
 The Man wrought miracles, calling to his aid 
 
 Simple devices of the wizard's trade, 
 
 Healing the sick nay, even, 'twas avowed, 
 
 Bidding a dead man quicken in his shroud ! 
 
 Pass over that as idle turn with me 
 
 To the completion of his infamy ! 
 
 In time, when he had sown with such false seed 
 
 Rank madness broadcast like an evil weed, 
 
 2 
 
52 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Choking the wholesome fields of industry, 
 
 And setting all the fiends of folly free, 
 
 This Jesus, with great numbers following, 
 
 Kides to Jerusalem like any King, 
 
 And throned on an ass goes thro' the Gate. 
 
 Arrived within the City, he keeps his state 
 
 With publicans and harlots, vaunts abroad 
 
 His proud vocation as the Son of God, 
 
 And last, presuming on his pride of place, 
 
 Profanes the Holy Temple of the race. 
 
 The rest we know they slew him, as was right, 
 
 Set him upon a Cross in all men's sight, 
 
 Then, lastly, buried him. And now 'twas thought 
 
 The Man had made amends ; the ill he wrought 
 
 Died with him, since his foolish race was run. 
 
 Not so ; the Man's black crime had scarce begun ! 
 
 For on the Sabbath day, as scribes aver, 
 Three Women, watching by his Sepulchre, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 53 
 
 Beheld the stone roll'd back, and in the gloom 
 
 Beyond, a cast-off shroud and empty tomb ! 
 
 The Man had risen, and that very day 
 
 Appeared among the faithful far away, 
 
 Spake, vanish'd, and was never after seen 
 
 By those who knew him, loved him, and had been 
 
 His life-long followers.' 
 
 Now 7 , hear and heed- 
 Had this Man, like the rest of Adam's seed, 
 Rested within his grave, turned back to dust, 
 Accepted dissolution, as were just, 
 Well had it been for him and all man's race ! 
 
 He rose, this Jew but in what secret place 
 He for a season hid his evil head 
 We know not ; followers of his tribe have said 
 He walked with bleeding feet dejectedly 
 The lava shores of Hell (if HeU there be !), 
 Pondering his plan to lead the world astray 
 
54 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 But after sundry years had past away 
 
 Mortals began to see in divers lands 
 
 A Phantom pale with pierced feet and hands 
 
 Who cried, * I am the Christ believe on me 
 
 Or lose your Souls alive eternally ! ' 
 
 And of those men a few believed, and cried 
 
 * Lo ! Christ is God, and God we crucified ! 
 
 But He shall come to judge the Quick and Dead ! ' 
 
 Now, mark the issue. Where this rumour spread, 
 All other gentle gods that gladden'd Man 
 Faded and fled away ; the priests of Pan, 
 That singing by Arcadian rivers rear'd 
 Their flowery altars, wept and disappeared ; 
 And men forgot the fields and the sweet light, 
 Joy, and all wonders of the day and night, 
 All splendours of the sense, all happy things, 
 Art, and the happy Muses' ministerings, 
 Forgot that radiant house of flesh divine 
 Wherein each Soul is shut as in a shrine, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 55 
 
 Because this Phantom, like a shape in sleep, 
 
 Showing his red wounds, murmur 'd, * Pray ! and weep ! ' 
 
 And when fair Earth, mother of things of clay, 
 
 The gladsome Mother, now grown gaunt and grey, 
 
 Cried to her children, * Children, stay with me ! 
 
 I made you happy, innocent, and free ! 
 
 Although this Man, my latest born, your brother, 
 
 Casts dust in the living eyes of me, his mother, 
 
 Follow him not, forsake me not, but stay ! ' 
 
 They too, because He beckon'd, turned away, 
 
 Or cursing her who bare them, they too shed 
 
 Dust in her eyes, dishonour on her head. 
 
 First, in her name, the Mother of all our race, 
 Whom this unfilial hand smote in the face, 
 Whom he defamed and shamed with cheats and lies, 
 And taught a thousand children to despise, 
 I demand justice on her Son, this Jew ! 
 
 Pass on. The rumour of his godhead grew ; 
 
56 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Yea, men were conscious of a Presence sad, 
 
 Crowned with thorns, in ragged raiment clad, 
 
 Haunting the sunless places of the Earth ; 
 
 And mystic legends of his heavenly birth, 
 
 His many miracles, his piteous death, 
 
 Were whisper 'd by the faithful under breath ; 
 
 And wights grown sick from tearfullest despairs, 
 
 And many weary souls worn out with cares, 
 
 Sick men and witless, all who had assailed 
 
 The gleaming heights of Happiness and failed, 
 
 But chiefly women bruised and undertrod, 
 
 Believed this Man indeed the Son of God, 
 
 Because he said, ' the high shall be estranged, 
 
 The low uplifted, and the weak avenged, 
 
 And blest be those who have cast this world away 
 
 To await the dawning of my Judgment Day ! ' 
 
 And straightway many yielded up their lives, 
 
 Blasphemed their bodies, gash'd their flesh with knives, 
 
 In attestation that these things were true. 
 
 And I deny not that to some, a few 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 57 
 
 Poor Souls without a hope, without a friend, 
 
 The lie brought comfort and a peaceful end ; 
 
 Nor (to be just to him we judge, even him, 
 
 This Jew, whose presence makes the glad World dim) 
 
 That often to the martyr in his prison 
 
 He went and whisper'd ' Comfort ! I am risen ; ' 
 
 Nor that to sickbeds sad, as Death came near, 
 
 He stole with radiant face and whisper'd cheer, 
 
 And to the Crucified brought secretly 
 
 The vinegar and sponge of Charity ! 
 
 Yet in the name of those who died for Him, 
 Self-slain, or by the beasts rent limb from limb, 
 Who in his Name with calm unbated breath 
 Went smiling down the dark descent of Death, 
 Who went because He beckon'd with bright hand 
 Out of the mirage of a heavenly Land, 
 I demand justice on their Christ, this Jew ! 
 
 Pass on. From land to land the tidings flew 
 
58 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 That Christ was God, and that the World was doom'd ! 
 Then droopt the lilies of delight, then bloom'd 
 The martyr's rose of blood ; Kings on their thrones 
 Cast down their crowns and crawled with piteous moans 
 To the baptismal font where Priests, grown bold, 
 Held high the crucifix wrought round with gold. 
 And soon (how swiftly seeds of evil spring !) 
 They set a Priest on High and crowned him King, 
 Yea, King of all earth's Kings, and next to Christ ! 
 There reign'd he, at his will the realms were priced, 
 And each, grown blind to worldly gain and loss, 
 Paid tribute to the King and to the Cross. 
 Behind that King, this Phantom most forlorn 
 Kept watch, from morn to night, from night to morn ; 
 And countless Temples rose into the air, 
 Golden and vast and marvellously fair, 
 And artists wrought on canvas and on stone 
 Strange images of Christ upon His Throne 
 Judging the World ; and voices filled each land : 
 ' Kejoice the heavenly Kingdom is at hand; ' 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 59 
 
 And for a space indeed, so well he feign' d, 
 
 It seem'd that Christ had conquer'd Death, and reigned. 
 
 The triumph passed. The poison of the Lie 
 
 Spread, as all foul things spread beneath the sky ; 
 
 And presently, the time being ripe at last, 
 
 From shrine to shrine this pallid Phantom passed 
 
 Whispering, * My Word hath grown a winged fire, 
 
 Yet thousands doubt me and blaspheme the Sire 
 
 See ye to this, Priests ! seek the abhorred 
 
 And judge them, with your Master's Flame and Sword.' 
 
 Look, where the culprit croucheth in his place, 
 
 Blood on his hands, and terror in his face ! 
 
 Aye, glue your gaze upon him, while I tell 
 
 Of damned deeds and thoughts befitting Hell !....' 
 
 They went abroad, his Priests, like wolves that scent 
 
 Lambs in the fields, and slew the innocent ; 
 
 The holy Shepherds who in places green 
 
 To Isis sang and Thammuz songs serene 
 
60 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 They found and slaughter'd, till their red blood ran 
 
 In torrents down the streams Egyptian ; 
 
 The gentle Souls who loved their mother Earth, 
 
 And wept because she had given the Monster birth, 
 
 They cast in cruel fire, and sacrificed 
 
 To appease the blood-thirst of this Jew, their Christ ! 
 
 From land to land, from sea to sea, they fled, 
 
 And where they went the plains were strewn with 
 
 dead. 
 
 Then, when all men knelt down and cried in pain 
 ' Hosannah to the Lord for Christ doth reign,' 
 When no man doubted, since he dared not doubt 
 Because of fiends that ringed him roundabout, 
 When no man breath'd in his own dwelling-house, 
 They paused a little time and held carouse, 
 With full cups pledging Christ ; but mark the rest ! 
 While they in triumph revelled east' and west, 
 He past 'mong them, his chosen, and distilled 
 A fatal poison in the cups they filled, 
 And when thro' vein and thew the poison crept, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 61 
 
 Like wolves upon each other's throats they leapt, 
 Bending each other in their Master's sight. 
 
 Next, in the name of Love and Love's delight, 
 
 And in the name of pagans blest and blind 
 
 Who loved the old gods best for they were kind, 
 
 Of virgins who despite the fire and sword 
 
 Shrank from this Scourge and called on God the Lord, 
 
 Of haggard men who dared not draw their breath 
 
 Because they deem'd this man, not Christ, but Death ; 
 
 Yea, in the name of his own Priests profaned 
 
 Because they did his bidding, and he reigned, 
 
 I demand justice on their Christ, this Jew. 
 
 Nay, listen yet. The dark corruption flew 
 
 Like loathsome pestilence from land to land ; 
 
 From every Altar, raised at his command, 
 
 Blood dript like dew ; grown mad with pride and scorn 
 
 His Priests cast off the masks that they had worn, 
 
 And 'neath the Cross, within the very shrines, 
 
 Held hideous revel with their concubines, 
 
62 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Flaunted before their silent Christ thorn-crowned 
 
 The emblems of Priapus, and around 
 
 Danced naked, with lewd songs and signs obscene ; 
 
 Then the bald monk, upon the convent green, 
 
 Kolled with the harlot ; then the King of Priests 
 
 In the very Shrine did lewdness worse than beast's, 
 
 While Incest and foul Lusts without a name 
 
 Crawl'd in His temples, and he felt no shame. 
 
 For when the people murmur'd, Priests and Kings 
 
 Made answer, * Be at peace, ye underlings ! 
 
 Since 'tis enough to deem that Christ is Lord, 
 
 To adore his symbols and to wield his sword, 
 
 And all our deeds, tho' black as blackest night, 
 
 Are vindicated in our Master's sight ! ' 
 
 Oh, God that madest Man, if God there be, 
 
 Didst make these things, didst hear this blasphemy ? 
 
 No writing on the wall disturbed the feasts 
 
 Of pathic Popes and leprous, lechrous Priests ? 
 
 This Man with falsehoods seventy times seven 
 
 Defamed Thy world, and Thou wast dumb in Heaven ! 
 
, THE WANDERING JEW 63 
 
 Now, in the name of vestals sacrificed 
 To feed the lust of those same priests of Christ, 
 Of acolyte children tangled in the mesh 
 Of infamous and nameless filths of flesh, 
 In the name of those whom King and Priest and 
 
 Pope 
 
 Cast down to dust, beyond all peace and hope, 
 Yea, in their names who made this Man their guide, 
 And curst by men, by him were justified, 
 I demand justice on their Christ, this Jew ! 
 
 Pass on. With cruel pitiless hand he drew 
 A curtain o'er the azure Heavens above, 
 Hiding the happy Light, darkening the love 
 Which kept life clean and whole ; so that in time 
 The very smile of Life became a crime 
 Against his Godhead ! Brother turn'd from brother, 
 The father smote his child, the son his mother, 
 And every fire that made^home warm and sweet 
 Was trampled into ashes 'neath his feet. 
 
64 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Then cried he, ' Life itself is shame and sin ! 
 
 Break ye all human ties, and ye shall win 
 
 My Bealm beyond the grave ! ' and as he cried, 
 
 Mortals cast ashes on their heads and died, 
 
 The virgin deem'd that Love's own kiss denied, 
 
 The mother's milk was poison'd for the child, 
 
 The father, worse than heasts who love their young, 
 
 Cast to the wolves the little ones who clung 
 
 Crying around his neck ; the Anchorite 
 
 Turn'd from the sunshine and the starry light 
 
 And hid his head in ordures of self-prayer ; 
 
 The naked Saint loomed black against the air 
 
 Upon his tower of Famine ; and for the sake 
 
 Of this Man's promise, and the Lie he spake, 
 
 Nature itself became a blight and ban ! 
 
 Nay, more ! thro' all the world corruption ran 
 
 As from a loathsome corpse in every clime 
 
 Disease and Pestilence did shed their slime, 
 
 Till human Life, once clean and pure and free, 
 
 Shrank 'neath the serpent-scales of Leprosy ! 
 
. THE WANDERING JEW 65 
 
 Now in the name of Life denied and scorn'd, 
 Of hearts that broke because this Phantom warn'd, 
 Of weary mothers desolately dying 
 For sons whose hearts were hardened to their crying, 
 Of wives made husbandless and left unblest, 
 Of little children starving for the breast, 
 Of homes made desolate from sea to sea 
 Because he said * Leave all, and follow me/ 
 I demand justice on their Christ, this Jew ! 
 
 He reign'd where Peace had reign'd ! and no man knew 
 The World wherein he dwelt, nor sought to guess 
 The holy laws of Light and Happiness ; 
 Yea, from our sight the beauteous Heavens were veil'd 
 And the Earth under them, while yet Man trail'd 
 His self-wrought chain across the fruitless lands 
 And tore his own pure flesh with impious hands. 
 Then from the depths of sorrow pale men came, 
 Who climb'd the heights and lit thereon the flame 
 Which scatter'd darkness and illumed the skies, 
 
66 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 And on the stars they fixed their starry eyes 
 
 And measured their progressions, crying aloud 
 
 ' This Phantom of the Christ is but a cloud 
 
 Veiling the glory of the Infinite ? ' 
 
 What then ? His creatures found them in the night 
 
 And smote them down, and with a fouler fire 
 
 Made for their martyred bones a funeral pyre 
 
 That did proclaim his glory and their despair ! 
 
 Even thus the Martyr, Man, once the glad heir 
 
 Of Earth and Heaven, made with eyes to see 
 
 And sense to comprehend his Destiny, 
 
 Was bound and render'd blind, until he fell 
 
 To Darkness dimly lit by lights of Hell, 
 
 And there, bereft and desolate of all 
 
 That made him free, he felt his dungeon wall 
 
 And wail'd on God ; and lo, at this man's nod, 
 
 His Priests and Kings appear 'd, instead of God, 
 
 Saying ' Bow down, thou Slave, and cease thy strife, 
 
 Confessing on thy knees that Death is Life, 
 
 And Darkness, Light ! ' and to his mouth they thrust 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 67 
 
 Their cruel Cross, defiled with blood and dust ; 
 And when he had testified in all men's sight 
 That Death was Life and Darkness heavenly Light, 
 Forth to the fire the shuddering wretch was brought, 
 And slaughter'd to the Lie themselves had taught. 
 
 Now, in their names, the Souls of priceless worth, 
 Who glorified the lights of Heaven and Earth, 
 Who fathom'd Nature's secret star-sown ways 
 And read the law of Life with fearless gaze, 
 Yet, for reward, with fire were shrivell'd up, 
 Or poison'd by the fatal hemlock-cup, 
 I demand doom and justice on this Jew ! 
 
 Pass o'er the rest the countless swarms he slew 
 To appease his lust for life in every land ; 
 The happy Nations stricken by his hand 
 With Famine or with Pestilence ; the horde 
 Of butchering Tyrants and of Priests abhorred 
 Who fatten'd on the flesh and blood of men, 
 
 K 2 
 
68 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Because this Jew had died and risen again ! 
 
 Come to the issue. Hear it, Jew, and know 
 
 Nature hath gather'd strength to lay thee low ! 
 
 Humanity itself shall testify 
 
 Thy Kingdom is a Dream, thy Word a Lie, 
 
 Thyself a living canker and a curse 
 
 Upon the Body of the Universe ! 
 
 For lo, at last, thy Judge, the Spirit of Man, 
 
 And I, his Acolyte since Time began, 
 
 Have taught thy brethren, things of clay like thee, 
 
 That all thy promise was a mockery ; 
 
 That Fatherhood and Godhead there is none, 
 
 No Father in Heaven and in Earth no Son, 
 
 That Darkness never can be Light, that still 
 
 Death shall be Death, despite thy wish or will, 
 
 That Death alone can comfort souls bereaven 
 
 And shed on Earth the eternal sleep of Heaven. 
 
 Yet not until the weary world is free 
 
 Of all thy ghostly godhead, and of thee, 
 
 Shall he who stills all tumult and all pain 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 69 
 
 Unveil the happy Heavens once more, and reign ! ' 
 
 He ceased, and Jesus heard, but made no sign. 
 
 Then, gazing sadly on that Man Divine, 
 He added, ' Peace, and hearken yet, Jew ! 
 For what we come to judge, we pity too ! 
 The blessed sleep Death sheds from sea to sea, 
 Shared by thy brethren, may be shared by thee, 
 If he who sits in Judgment deems it well ! ' 
 
 While on those silent hosts his dark eyes fell, 
 And thro' the Waves of Life that darkly roll'd 
 Around him, ran a tremor deathly cold, 
 He cried, ' Awake, awake, for 'tis the time ! 
 Appear, ye Witnesses of this Man's crime ! ' 
 
70 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 VIII 
 
 THE WITNESSES 
 
 FIRST to the front a shrouded figure crept, 
 Gazed upon Jesus, hid his face, and wept, 
 Saying ' What would ye ? Wherefore am I taken 
 Out of the dark grave where I slept forsaken, 
 Forgetting all my heritage of woe ? ' 
 
 * What Soul art thou ? ' 
 
 * One Judas, named also 
 Iscariot.' 
 
 ' Know'st thou the Accused ? ' 
 
 ' Aye me, 
 In sooth I know him, to my misery ! 
 
THE WANDERING JEW ~i 
 
 I followed him, and I believed for long 
 That he was God indeed, serene and strong ; 
 Then, with an eager hunger famishing 
 To see his Kingdom and to hail him King, 
 I did betray him, thinking " when he stands 
 Bound and condemn'd in the oppressor's hands, 
 When Death comes near to drink his holy breath, 
 He will put forth his power and vanquish Death ! " 
 But when I saw him conquered, crucified, 
 I hid my face in shame, then crept aside, 
 And in the Potter's Field myself I hung.' 
 
 1 Now answer ! Was thy spirit conscience- stung ? 
 Having betrayed him, wherefore didst thou die ? ' 
 
 * Because I knew his promise was a lie, 
 Because I knew the Man whom I had slain 
 Was not Messiah Now, let me sleep again ! ' 
 
 ' Pass by. The next ! ' 
 
72 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Forth stept before their sight 
 A form so old, so wan and hoary white, 
 It seem'd another Christ, as old, as sad ; 
 And he in antique raiment too was clad, 
 Bagged and wild, and his white hair was strewn 
 Like snow around him 'neath the wintry Moon, 
 And by his side a lean she -bear there ran, 
 Gentle and tame, uplooking at the man 
 With piteous bleats, while his thin hand was spread 
 With touch as chill as ice upon its head. 
 When on the Accused this old Man turned his eyes 
 He shook and would have fled with feeble cries, 
 Bat a hand held him. Shivering and afraid, 
 He shrank and gazed upon the ground, but stay'd. 
 
 k Thy name ? ' 
 
 * AHASUERUS. Far away, 
 Beyond the changes of the night and day, 
 In the bleak regions of the Frozen Zone, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 73 
 
 Lit with auroral beams, I roamed alone, 
 When a voice called me, and behold I came.' 
 
 1 Look on the Accused. Know'st thou his Form and 
 Name ? ' 
 
 * Alack, I know him, as I know my doom 
 
 To wander o'er the world without a tomb, 
 
 Alone, unpitied, hopeless, weak and wild . . . 
 
 Before my door I stood with wife and child 
 
 That weary moment when they led him by, 
 
 Bearing his heavy Cross of Wood, to die. 
 
 He would have rested at my dwelling place, 
 
 But knowing him blasphemer, branded base, 
 
 Taking the name of God in vain, I cried, 
 
 " If thou art God, now cast thy Cross aside, 
 
 And take thy Throne if thou hast lied, pass on ! " 
 
 He turned on me his face all woe-begone, 
 
 And murmur'd faintly, as he crawl'd away, 
 
 " Thou shalt not rest until my Judgment Day ! 
 
 Till then walk on from sleepless year to year ! " 
 
74 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 He spake. That doom pursued me. I am here.' 
 
 ' Take comfort, brother. Tho' thy wrongs are deep, 
 When this same Jew is judged thou shalt sleep. 
 Pass by.' 
 
 With feeble moan and weary pace 
 He went. Another stept into his place. 
 
 < Thou ? ' 
 
 ' PILATE, to whose Eoman judgment seat 
 They brought this Jew, casting him at my feet 
 And clamouring for his life. I smiled to see 
 So mad a thing usurping sovereignty, 
 And said, " Jews, if so ye list, fulfil 
 The law, and spare or slay him as ye will 
 The Roman wars not with such foes as he 
 Upon your heads, not mine, this deed shall be." 
 And ere to shameful Death the man was borne, 
 I turned aside and washed my hands in scorn 
 Of them and him I ' 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 75 
 
 ' Pass on ! ' 
 
 The Roman cast 
 
 One pitying look upon the Jew, and passed 
 Into the darkness. As he sank from sight 
 There came in pale procession thro' the night 
 Great Phantoms who the imperial robe did wear, 
 Sceptre in hand, and bayleaves in the hair, 
 Each lewd and horrible and infamous, 
 A monster, yet a man : Tiberius, 
 Sejanus, and the rest ; and last of all 
 Came one who trode the earth with light foot-fall, 
 And sang with shrill voice to a golden lute ; 
 And lo ! a woman's robe from head to foot 
 Enwrapt him, and his face was sickly white 
 With nameless infamies of lewd delight, 
 And on his beardless cheeks mine eyes could see 
 The hideous crimson paint of harlotry, 
 While, in a voice as any eunuch's shrill, 
 He cried, 
 
 * This Jew, their Christ, lay cold and still 
 
76 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Within his Sepulchre, and slept supine, 
 While I, the Antichrist, pour'd blood like wine 
 To appease my parasites and paramours ! 
 Nay, more, before my shining palace-doors 
 And round the gardens of the feast, I placed 
 The naked forms of men and maidens chaste 
 Who worshipt him, and lit the same to be 
 The living torches of my revelry ; 
 And all in vain, thus strip t and sacrificed, 
 They called on Christ to conquer Antichrist ! 
 In the amphitheatre I sat and smiled 
 On strong men martyred and on maids defiled ; 
 Then clad myself in skins of beasts, and flew 
 To glut my lechery in all men's view, 
 And ravenous-claw'd my bestial lust I fed 
 On shuddering flesh of virgins ravished. 
 And yet he rose not ! Still and stark he lay. 
 God-like I reign'd, with a god's power to slay, 
 Shame, sadden, gladden. To the old Gods I sang 
 My triumph- song that thro' the nations rang 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 77 
 
 While Rome was burning ! On my mother's womb 
 I thrust the impious heel ! Yet from his tomb 
 This Jesus stirr'd not ! God-like still, I died 
 By mine own hand, not shamed and crucified 
 As he, this Jew, had been ! He lives, ye say ? 
 Poor Phantom of the Cross, forlorn and grey, 
 What shall his life avail ? His day hath fled, 
 But other Antichrists uplift the head 
 And laugh, and cry " The reign of Christ is o'er ! 
 Make merry ! " Yea, the Earth is his no more, 
 His Heaven a Dream, and where he wrought in vain 
 The harlot and the sodomite still reign ! ' 
 
 He spake, and with a shrill and cruel cry 
 Followed his brethren ; in his track crept by 
 Pale ghostly Phantoms filleted or crown'd, 
 Imperial harlots with their zones unbound, 
 And haggard children clutch'd yet uncaress'd, 
 Rolling blind eyes and fighting for the breast ; 
 And after these, a throng of martyrs slain, 
 
78 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Bloody and maim'd and worn, who wail'd in pain, 
 Fixing their piteous eyes on that pale Jew. 
 
 Crowd after crowd they passed, and passing threw 
 A curse or prayer on Him who anguish'd there 
 Crown'd with the calm of a divine despair, 
 And one by one he mark'd them come and go 
 While down his wrinkled cheeks deep-sunk in woe 
 The salt tears ran, and ever and anon 
 He hid his face so weary and woe -begone, 
 Or peering vaguely up into the Night 
 Pressed his skinny hands together tight 
 And moan'd unto himself ! 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 79 
 
 IX 
 
 THEN saw I rise 
 
 A shape with broad bold brow and fearless eyes, 
 Behind him as he came a murmuring train 
 Of augurs, soothsayers, and armed men, 
 With gentle priests of Ceres and of Pan. 
 ' Koom there,' they cried aloud, * for Julian ! ' 
 Bareheaded, helm in hand, he took his place 
 Before the Accused, a smile upon his face. 
 
 * Thy name was JULIAN ? ' 
 
 He answered, * Yes ! 
 I wore the imperial robe in gentleness, 
 And looking on the World around my throne 
 I heard the wretched weep, the weary moan, 
 Saw Nature sickening because this Man wrought 
 
So THE WANDERING JEW h 
 
 To scatter poison in the wells of Thought, 
 So that no Soul might live in peace and be 
 Baptised in wisdom and philosophy ; 
 Wherefore I summoned from their lonely graves 
 The Spirits of the mountains and the waves, 
 The tutelary Sprites of flowers and trees, 
 The rough wild Gods and naked Goddesses, 
 And all alive with joy they leapt around 
 My leaf-hung chariot, to the trumpet's sound ! 
 Yea, and I wakened from ancestral night 
 The human shapes of Healing and of Light 
 Asclepios with his green magician's rod, 
 And Aristotle, Wisdom's grave-eyed god, 
 And bade them teach the natural law and prove 
 The eternal verities of Life and Love. 
 What then ? I fail'd. This Serpent could elude 
 My priests, however swiftly they pursued, 
 And since I warned them not to slay with steel 
 Nor bruise it cruelly beneath the heel, 
 It lived amid their very footprints, fed 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 81 
 
 On blood and tears, upraised the impious head, 
 Then last, still living on my day of doom, 
 Stung my pale corpse and coil'd upon my tomb ! 
 Oh, had I guessed that mercy could not win 
 Blood from the stone, or change the Serpent's skin, 
 That pity and loving kindness ne'er could gain 
 Foothold in Superstition's black domain, 
 Then surely I the avenging sword had bared 
 And slain in mercy what I blindly spared ! 
 'Twas but a spark ! one stamp of foot, and lo ! 
 The thing had perished ! Fool, to let it grow ! 
 So that it grew as such foul hell-fire can, 
 Spreading from City unto City of Man, 
 Turning this World of greenness and sweet breath 
 Into a charnel house of shameful Death. 
 The Galilean conquered as I threw 
 My last wild jet of life-blood to the blue, 
 Nature resigned her birth-right with a groan, 
 And Thought, like Niobe, was turn'd to stone ! ' 
 
 G 
 
82 THE WANDERING JEW h 
 
 His legions shouted faintly as he cast 
 One glance of scorn on the pale Jew and passed 
 To darkness. Following him, methought, there stalked 
 Aurelius, calmly musing as he walked, 
 With many another lesser King of clay, 
 Who paused and testified, then passed away ; 
 So thick they came from out the troubled dark 
 My brain grew dizzy and I ceased to mark, 
 Until at last a marble Maiden rose, 
 Stript naked to the skin and bruised with blows, 
 Yet fair and golden-haired and azure-eyed 
 She stood erect with fearless gaze, and cried : 
 
 ' I was HYPATIA. Bound my form fell free 
 
 The white robe of a wise virginity, 
 
 While in the fountains of the Past I sought 
 
 Strange pearls of Dream and dim Platonic thought. 
 
 Now, as I gazed therein, I saw full plain 
 
 The faces of dead Gods whom men had slain 
 
 How fair they seemed ! how gentle and how wise ! 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 83 
 
 The Spirits of the gladsome earth and sides ! 
 
 And lo, I loved them, and I lit anew 
 
 Their vestal lamps that men might love them too, 
 
 And so be passionately purified. 
 
 The rest ye know. Thro' this same Jew, I died. 
 
 Peter the Reader and his monkish throng 
 
 Found me and slew me, trail'd my limbs along 
 
 The streets, and left me, bloody, stark, and dead ! ' 
 
 I watch'd her as with slow and silent tread. 
 Erect tho' naked, cloth'd with chaste cold Light 
 As is the virgin votaress of the Night, 
 She vanished in the darkness. Then for lon<j 
 I marked the Witnesses in shadowy throng 
 Come, say their say, and go ; from every side 
 They gathered one by one and testified, 
 And as they testified against the Jew 
 Creation darkened and the murmur grew ! 
 Meantime the Accused stood listening, with his eyes 
 Fixed ever sadly on the far-off skies 
 
84 THE WANDERING JEW fc - 
 
 Where flocks of patient stars moved slowly, driven 
 
 By winds unseen to the dark folds of Heaven, 
 
 And ever as his gaze upon it yearned 
 
 The blue Void quicken'd and new splendours burned, 
 
 And while the lights of all the stars were shed 
 
 As lustrous dew upon his hoary head, 
 
 He knelt and prayed ! 
 
 Then rose a mighty cry 
 Which shook the solid air and rent the sky, 
 And flowing thither came a countless crowd 
 Of women and of men who called aloud 
 ' Allah il Allah ! ' Darkening under Heaven, 
 Like to the waves of Ocean tempest-driven, 
 Out of the midnight I beheld them come 
 Up to the Judgment Seat and break to foam 
 Of dusky faces and of waving hands ; 
 And many raised aloft great crooked brands 
 And banners where the moonlike crescent burn'd. 
 Then dimly thro' the darkness I discern'd 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 A stately turban'd King, who stood alone ; 
 Around his form a prophet's robe was thrown, 
 And in his hand he bore a scimitar 
 Unsheath'd and shining radiant like a star ; 
 And on his head there shone a crescent gem, 
 Bright as the moon ; and to his raiment hem 
 Clung women, naked, glorious-eyed, and fair, 
 Houris of Heaven with perfumed golden hair. 
 And the great Sea of Life, that raged and broke 
 Behind him, sank to silence as he spoke, 
 Awed by the gleam of his dark eyes ; for lo ! 
 He paused not, but moved onward proud and slow, 
 Saying, as past the Judgment Seat he strode, 
 * This man cried, " I am Allah ! very God ! " 
 Yet helpless as a slaughter'd lamb he fell 
 Beneath the angry breath of Azrael, 
 Great Allah's Angel, sent to avenge his Lord ! 
 But I, who raised alike the Cross and Sword, 
 In Allah's name, his Prophet, was content 
 To avow myself the man by Allah sent 
 
86 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 To do his will in proud humility. 
 
 So men forgot this Jew, and turn'd to me, 
 
 Who on the desert- sands my flag unfurled 
 
 And wrought great miracles to amaze the world ! 
 
 Upon the neck of Kings my foot was set, 
 
 And all the Nations knew me MAHOMET ! ' 
 
 And at the name the echoing millions roar'd 
 
 < Allah il Allah ! Mighty is the Lord ! 
 
 Mahomet is his prophet ! ' Cloud on cloud, 
 
 Wave following wave, with clash of tumult loud, 
 
 The mighty Sea of Lives passed onward, crying, 
 
 ' Allah il Allah ! ' and ever multiplying ; 
 
 And when the far-off western horizon 
 
 Was darkened yet with those who had come and gone, 
 
 Millions still came from the eastward, sweeping by 
 
 The Judgment Seat with that victorious cry ; 
 
 And endless seem'd the space of time until 
 
 The swarms had past, and all again was still, 
 
 When, fronting the Accused, the Accuser cried : 
 
THE WANDERING JEW &7 
 
 ' Greater than this pale Jew men crucified 
 
 Was he whose mighty star, blood-red and bright, 
 
 Shines on the minarets of the Islamite ! ' 
 
 But as he spake, out of the East there came 
 One follow'd, too, with clangorous acclaim 
 A human Shape, wrapt in white lamb-like wool, 
 Star-eyed and sad and very beautiful, 
 A sceptre in his hand, and on his head 
 A crown of silver, brightly diamonded ; 
 Who, flying swift as wind on veiled feet, 
 Approach'd, and pausing at the Judgment Seat, 
 Cried : 
 
 ' Sleeping in my Sepulchre, wherein 
 I deem'd myself secure from sense and sin, 
 A voice disturbed me, and awakening, 
 I heard wild voices o'er the Nations ring, 
 Naming the names of lesser gods than I. 
 Deathless I pause, while all the rest pass by 
 They taught them how to live, I taught them how to die ! 
 
88 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Heir of the realms of sorrow and despair, 
 
 I, GAUTAMA, the BUDDHA, gently bare 
 
 The Lily, and not the Cross, and not the Sword, 
 
 And countless hailed me King and Lord ! 
 
 What voices break my rest ? What impious strife 
 
 Stirreth my sleep and brings me back to life ? 
 
 Yea, plucks me from God's breast, whereon I lay, 
 
 To take my place again 'mong Kings of clay, 
 
 Inheritors of Sorrow ! ' 
 
 Even as 
 
 He spake, the throngs who follow' d bent like grass 
 Wind-blown to worship him ! 
 
 With radiant head 
 
 He passed on, follow'd by the Quick and Dead. 
 And in that train I saw, or seem'd to see, 
 Other inheritors of Deity 
 His Brethren, Gods or God-like, following : 
 Pale ZOROASTER, crowned like a King ; 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 89 
 
 MENU and MOSES, each with radiant look 
 Cast on the pages of an open Book ; 
 CONFUCIUS, in a robe of saffron hue, 
 En wrought with letters quaint of mystic blue ; 
 PROMETHEUS, dragging yet his broken chain, 
 And gazing heavenward still, in beautiful disdain. 
 
 Ghostwise they testified and vanished, 
 These mighty spirits of the god-like Dead ; 
 Some reverend and hoary, some most fair, 
 With brightness in their eyes and on their hair, 
 Each kingly in his place, and in his train 
 Souls of fair worshippers that Jew had slain.

 THEN, waiting on and watching thro' the gloom, 
 
 I saw the glimmer of an open Tomb 
 
 Hewn in the mountain-side, and thence a band 
 
 Crown'd and tiara'd, each with Cross in hand, 
 
 Of woeful Phantoms issued, murmuring : 
 
 ' We were the Vicars of this Christ, our King ! 
 
 And lo, he let us reign ! and sins like lice 
 
 Ran o'er us, while we sought with foul device 
 
 To cloak the living Lie on which we fed ! ' 
 
 And one cried : ' As I lay upon my bed, 
 
 My leman at my side, mine hands still red 
 
 With mine own brother's blood, they strangled me ! ' 
 
 And one laugh'd, * With this Cross as with a key 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 91 
 
 I open'd up the caves where Monarchs kept 
 Their secret gold ! ' 
 
 And one who wail'd and wept, 
 Yet could not speak, gaped with black jaws forlorn 
 To show the mouth whence the red tongue was torn. 
 
 And one said, ' Murder was my handmaiden ! 
 I made a Throne with bones of butcher'd men 
 And set her there, and in my Master's name 
 Baptised her ! ' And all those others cried again 
 ' We were his Vicars, and he bade us reign ! ' 
 
 Back to the Tomb they crept with senile cries, 
 Mumbling with toothless gums and blinking eyes 
 Thick with the rheum of age ! and in their stead 
 Rose shapes of butcher'd Seers whose wounds still bled, 
 And some were clothen with consuming flame 
 As with a garment, crying as they came : 
 ' We saw all Nature blacken' d far and wide 
 Because this Jew was dead yet had not died, 
 
92 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 For thro' the world of broken hearts he went 
 Demanding blood and tears for sacrament, 
 Crowning the proud and casting down the just, 
 Lighting the altar-flames of Pride and Lust, 
 Calling the Deadly Sins accurst and dire 
 To be his acolytes and to feed the fire 
 Through which we perish' d ; yet we testified 
 With all our Souls against him ere we died ! ' 
 
 Night of terror ! dark suffering Night, 
 
 With wounded bleeding heart and great eyes bright 
 With starry portents and serene despairs ! 
 
 1 saw them, one by one, the ghostly heirs 
 Of Wisdom and of Woe, the Souls long fled 
 Who died like him, and like him are not dead, 
 The Great, the Just, the Good, who cannot die, 
 Because this piteous Phantom passeth by, 
 
 And when they fain would slumber, murmureth 
 
 * Lo, Christ is God, and God hath vanquish'd Death ! ' 
 
 iLike wave on wave they came, like cloud on cloud. 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 9.3 
 
 Before the Throne stood one wrapt in his shroud, 
 And bearing in his lean uplifted hand, 
 That shook but did not fall, a flaming Brand. 
 The Judge spake (while I dream'd who this might be) 
 < Thy name ? ' 
 
 ' GALILEO, of Italy,' 
 
 He answer'd ; while two other shapes in white 
 Crept to him, on the left hand and the right. 
 ' These Brethren, standing side by side with me, 
 Wore the white raiment of Philosophy, 
 Yet died in anguish, butcher 'd in Christ's name. 
 He on my right hand, BRUNO, died by flame. 
 He on my left, CASTILIO, starved for bread. 
 We saw the Heavenly Book above us spread, 
 We pored upon its living lines of fire, 
 And saw therein the Name of God the Sire. 
 Upon us as we ponder'd, thought, and prayed, 
 Came this man's Priests and Soldiers, and betrayed 
 Our Souls to torture and to infamy ! ' 
 
94 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 ' 'Tis well. Ye kept your Souls sublime and free, 
 And he who slew you waits for judgment there ! ' 
 
 Suddenly, with a shriek that rent the air, 
 Shadows on shadows throng' d around and cried : 
 ' We, too, were slain because we testified ! 
 Our bones are scattered white in every land ! 
 We pass'd the Fiery Torch from hand to hand ; 
 Fast as one fell, another raised it high, 
 Till he in turn was smitten down to die. 
 Yet on, from clime to clime, from pole to pole, 
 It pass'd, and lit the Beacons of the Soul, 
 Till wheresoever men could gaze they saw 
 The fiery signs and symbols of the Law, 
 Older than God, which saith the Soul is free ! ' 
 
 The Accuser smiled, and rising quietly, 
 With ominous lifted hand, * Judge,' he cried, 
 ' If I should question all men who have died 
 Because this Jew once quickened in the sun, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 95 
 
 Eternity would pass ere all was done. 
 
 Enough to know, wherever men have striven 
 
 To read the open scrolls of Earth and Heaven, 
 
 Wherever in their sadness they have sought 
 
 To find the stainless flowers of lonely Thought, 
 
 Raising the herb of Healing and the bloom 
 
 Of Love and Joy, this Man from out his Tomb 
 
 Hath stalk'd, and slaying the things their souls deem'd 
 
 fair 
 
 Hath poison'd all their peace and stript them bare. 
 Century on century, as men count Time, 
 This Man hath been a curse in every clime ; 
 So that the World, once the glad home of men, 
 Hath been a prison and a lazar-den, 
 A place of darkness whence no Soul might dare 
 To seek the golden Earth and heavenly air, 
 Save fearfully, with panting lips apart, 
 Fearing the very throb of his own heart 
 As 'twere a death-knell ; nay, this Jew set free 
 Disease and Pestilence and Leprosy 
 
96 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 To crawl like loathsome monsters and destroy 
 Great Cities once alive with life and joy ; 
 And of all foul things fouler than the beasts 
 Were this Man's Servants and approven Priests, 
 Stenching the Cities wheresoe'er they trod, 
 Poisoning the fountains in the name of God. 
 Save for this Jew, a thousand years ago 
 Man might have known what he awakes to know 
 The luminous House of flesh and blood most fair, 
 Kainbow'd from dust and water and sweet air, 
 The green Earth round it, and the Seas that roll 
 To cleanse the Earth from shining pole to pole, 
 The Heavens, and Heavens beyond without a bound, 
 The Stars in their processions glory-crown'd, 
 Each star so vast that it transcends our dreams, 
 So small, a child might grasp it, so it seems, 
 Like a light butterfly ! The wondrous screed 
 Of Nature open lay for Man to read ; 
 World flashed to world, in yonder Void sublime, 
 The messages of Light and Change and Time ; 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 97 
 
 The Sea had voices, and the Spirit of Earth 
 Had sung her mystic runes of Death and Birth, 
 Of all the dim progressions Life had known, 
 And writ them on the rocks in words of stone ; 
 Nay, Man's own Soul was as a mirror, bright 
 With luminous changes of the Infinite ! 
 And yet Man rested blind beneath the sky 
 Because this Jew said, * Close thine eyes, or die ! ' 
 Enough pass onward one by one, ye throng 
 Who sinn'd thro' Christ, or suffer'd shame and wrong ; 
 Stay not to speak your faces shall proclaim, 
 More loud than tongues, your martyrdom and shame ! ' 
 
 Ghostwise they passed along before my sight, 
 Martyrs of truth and warriors of the right, 
 Some reverend and hoary, some most fair 
 With sunrise in their eyes and on their hair. 
 So swift they came and fled, I scarce had space 
 To note them, but full many a world-famed face 
 Came like a breaking wave and went again : 
 
98 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 JUSTINIAN, living, yet a corpse, as when 
 
 They tore him from his tomb ; old, gaunt, and grey, 
 
 The Master of the Templars, Du MOLAY, 
 
 Clasp'd by the harlot, Fire, follow'd by pale 
 
 And martyr'd warriors bleeding 'neath their mail ; 
 
 ABELARD, still erect on stubborn knees 
 
 Facing the storms of Eome, and ELOISE 
 
 Clad like an abbess, from his eyes of fire 
 
 Drinking eternal passion and desire ; 
 
 KING FREDERICK, his step serene and strong 
 
 As if he trod on altars, with his throng 
 
 Of warriors, Christian and Saracen ; 
 
 Great ALGAZALLI and wise ALHAZEN, 
 
 White-robed and calm, with many a lesser man 
 
 Wrapt in the peace of lore Arabian ; 
 
 Pale PETRARCH, laurel-crowned, gazing on 
 
 The white face of that sister woe-begone 
 
 Who thro' the lust of Christ's own Vicar fell ; 
 
 JOHN Huss, still wrapt around with fires of Hell, 
 
 Clutching the Book he bore with piteous tears. 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 99 
 
 Silent they pass'd, the Martyrs and the Seers, 
 Known and unknown, the Heirs of love and praise ; 
 And last, the Three, who with undaunted gaze 
 Faced the great Ocean of Earth's mystery, 
 Mighty and strong as when from sea to sea 
 They sail'd and saiTd ; DE GAMA, following 
 COLUMBUS, who with sea-bird's sleepless wing 
 Flew on from Deep to Deep ; and, mightiest, 
 MAGELLAN, faring forward on his quest, 
 Putting the craven cowls of Rome to shame, 
 And lighting Earth and Heaven with his resplendent 
 name ! 
 
ioo THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 XI 
 
 WITH woe unutterable, and pity cast 
 
 As the still Heaven on which his eyes were cast, 
 
 That old Jew listen'd, while new voices cried, 
 
 ' We too were slain, because we testified ! ' 
 
 But as they pass'd along with waving brands 
 
 Beneath him, he outstretched his trembling hands 
 
 As if to bless them, murmuring low yet clear, 
 
 * Father in Heaven, where art Thou? Dost Thou hear? 
 
 And at the voice those Spirits cried again, 
 
 ' We testified against thee, and were slain ! ' 
 
 And never down on them his eyes were turn'd, 
 
 But still upon the silent Heaven, that yearn'd 
 
 Its heart of stars out on his hoary head ! 
 
 Even as a shipwrecked wight doth cling in dread 
 
JHE WANDERING JEW 101 
 
 To some frail spar, and seeth all around 
 
 The dark wild waters swelling without bound, 
 
 While momently the black waves flash to foam, 
 
 Ev'n so I saw the Spirits go and come 
 
 With piteous cries around me. From all lands 
 
 They gather'd, moaning low and waving hands, 
 
 Women and men and naked little ones ; 
 
 And some were dusky-hued from flaming suns 
 
 That light the West and East ; for lo, I knew 
 
 The hosts of Ind, the children of Peru, 
 
 And the black seed of Ham ; and following these, 
 
 Wan creatures bearing hideous images 
 
 Of wood and stone ; yellow and black and red, 
 
 They gather'd, murmuring as they came, and fled ! 
 
 And all the air was troubled, as when the rain 
 
 Maketh the multitudinous leaves complain 
 
 In some deep forest solitude, with the stirs 
 
 Of tutelary gods and worshippers, 
 
 Of creatures thronging thick as ants to upbuild 
 
 Strange Temples, frail as ant-heaps, faintly filled 
 
102 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 With the first gleams of godhead chill and grey, 
 Then crumbling into dust, and vanishing away ! 
 
 Borne on a purple litter came a King 
 Gold-crown'd, with eager armies following 
 Swift-footed like the pard, crested with plumes 
 Of many-coloured birds, and deck'd with blooms 
 Of m any-colour 'd flowers ; and as he came 
 Choirs of dark maidens sang in glad acclaim, 
 * All hail to MONTEZUMA, King and Lord ! ' 
 And round him dusky Priests kept fierce accord 
 Of drums and cymbals, till their lord was borne 
 Close to the Throne ; and on that Man forlorn 
 Fixing his sad, brown, antelope's eyes, and lying 
 Like to a stricken deer sore-spent and dying, 
 He cried : 
 
 ' In the grassy West I reigned supreme 
 O'er a great Kingdom wondrous as a dream. 
 As high as Heaven rose my palaces, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 103 
 
 And fair as Heaven was the light in these, 
 And out of gold I ate, and gold and gerns 
 Cover'd me to the very raiment hems, 
 And gems and gold miraculously bright 
 Illumed my roofs and floors with starry light. 
 The wondrous lama-wool as white as milk, 
 More soft and snowy than the worm's thin silk, 
 Was woven for my raiment ; unto me 
 The creatures of the Mountains and the Sea 
 Were brought in tribute ; and from shore to shore 
 My naked couriers flew for ever, and bore 
 My mandate to the lesser Kings, my slaves ; 
 Yea, and my throne was on a thousand graves, 
 And Death, obedient to my lifted hand, 
 Smiled peacefully upon a golden Land. 
 There, as I reigned, and millions blest my sway, 
 Came rumours of a fair God far away 
 Greater than those I worshipt, till my throne 
 Shook at the coming of that form unknown ; 
 And o'er the Ocean, borne on flying things 
 
io 4 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 That caught the winds and held them in their wings, 
 
 Riding on maned monsters that obeyed 
 
 Bridles of gold and champ'd the bit and neigh'd, 
 
 Came this Man's followers, clad and shod with steel, 
 
 Trampling my naked hosts with armed heel 
 
 And raising up the Cross ; and me they found 
 
 Within my shining palace sitting crown'd, 
 
 'Mid priests and slaves that trembled at my nod, 
 
 And bade me worship him, their pale white God, 
 
 Nailed upon a Tree and crucified ; 
 
 And when upon mine own strong gods I cried, 
 
 They answer 'd not ! nay, even when I was cast 
 
 Unto the dust, bound like a slave at last, 
 
 Still they were dumb ; and tho' my people arose 
 
 Innumerable, they were scattered even as snows 
 
 Before the wintry blast ; with sword and spear 
 
 The bloody Spaniard hunted them like deer, 
 
 So that my realm ran blood in this Man's name ; 
 
 And lo ! my proud heart broken with its shame, 
 
 I died to all my glory, and lay mute, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 105 
 
 Defiled, and scorn'd, beneath the Spaniard's foot, 
 And all my Kingdom fell to nothingness.' 
 
 He pass'd, and after him came Monarchs less 
 
 Than he, yet proud and mighty, I watch'd them fly 
 
 Like flocks of antelopes beneath the sky, 
 
 And harrying them the Hunters clad in mail 
 
 Follow'd, with cruel faces marble pale, 
 
 Lifting the Cross, and speeding fast beyond 
 
 My sight, on steeds with gold caparison'd. 
 
 Nor ceased the pageant yet. Sceptred and crown'd, 
 A King, with plumed legions wailing round, 
 Stood up and cried : 
 
 ' The splendour of the Sun 
 Illumed the Temples where my rites were done, 
 And to the Sun-god who for ever gazed 
 With face of gold upon my realm, I raised 
 The paean and the prayer. Beneath my rule 
 
Jo6 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 The happy lands grew bright and beautiful, 
 
 And countless thousands innocent of strife 
 
 Blest me, and that refulgent Fount of Life. 
 
 Fairer my palaces and temples far 
 
 In sight of Heaven than Morn or Even Star, 
 
 For in them dwelt the quickening Light of him 
 
 Before whose glory every sphere is dim ! 
 
 Yea, but at last mine eyes did gaze upon 
 
 A blood-star, rising o'er the horizon 
 
 Out eastward, and before its baleful ray 
 
 The Sun-god shrivel' d and was driven away ; 
 
 And leagued with iron monsters belching fire, 
 
 And riding living monsters tame yet dire, 
 
 Out from the gulfs of sudden blackness pour'd 
 
 A mailed band who called this man their Lord, 
 
 And slew us ev'n as sheep, and undertrod 
 
 The shining temples of the Sun, our God ; 
 
 Me too they smote and slaughter'd, offering me, 
 
 Last of the Incas, to their Deity 
 
 And Darkness reign'd where once the Light had shone ! ' 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 107 
 
 Wailing, he wrung his hands and wander'd on, 
 And after him like bleeding sheep a train 
 Of naked slaughter'd things that sob'd in pain 
 Midst them a dusky woman richly drest, 
 Who wrung her hands and smote her naked breast, 
 Crying, * I loved the soldier of this Jew, 
 And me he lusted for, then foully slew, 
 And wheresoe'er his Cross waved overhead 
 Came shrieks of women torn and ravished ! ' 
 And round her as she spake those butcher'd bands 
 Of women smote their breasts or wrung their hands. 
 
 ' shadowy crowds of men,' the Accuser cried, 
 ' Dark naked women, children piteous-eyed, 
 All manacled and bleeding, worn and weak, 
 How do ye testify against him ? Speak ! ' 
 
 ' Because,' they said, ' the radiant summer Light 
 Had burnt our bodies and made them black yet bright, 
 Altho' our hearts within were sweet and mild, 
 
io8 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 We suffered sorrow, man and wife and child : 
 
 Far in the West we prayed, bending the knee 
 
 In Cities fairer far than Nineveh, 
 
 And high as Heaven arose fair palaces 
 
 Lit with the many colour'd images 
 
 Of gentle gods, but on our shores there came 
 
 Devils that smote us in this white God's name, 
 
 Our gods dethroned, our temples overcast, 
 
 And scattered us as chaff before the blast. 
 
 This Jew looked on. His Priests piled gold, while we 
 
 Were basely slain or sold to slavery ; 
 
 Tears worse than blood we shed, and bloodiest sweat, 
 
 While on the soil, with blood of millions wet, 
 
 They did upraise his Church, that rose on high 
 
 With fiery finger pointing at the sky 
 
 Where every happy star had ceased to shine ! ' 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 109 
 
 XII 
 4 THOU hearest, Jew ? ' 
 
 I Jut Jesus made no sign. 
 
 With woe unutterable and pity vast 
 
 As the still Heaven on which his eyes were cast, 
 
 He listen'd dumbly, while new voices cried, 
 
 ' We too were slain, and by his Priests we died ! ' 
 
 And like to cloud on cloud, blown by the wind 
 
 And broken, dusky swarms of Humankind 
 
 Still came and went ; and then rose wailing crowds 
 
 Who bare the lighted candle, and in their shrouds 
 
 Walk'd naked-footed to the martyr's pyre ; 
 
 With men whose entrails Famine's hidden fire 
 
 Gnaw'd till they shriek 'd aloud ; and everywhere 
 
i io THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 A cruel scent of carnage filled the air, 
 
 As countless armed legions of the slain 
 
 Koll'd up as if for battle once again, 
 
 While o'er them, flaming between earth and sky, 
 
 The crimson Cross was swung ! 
 
 All these pass'd by ; 
 
 Then Silence deep as Death fell suddenly, 
 And all was hushed as a rainy Sea ! 
 
 Then came a rush of hosts mingled in storm 
 Confusedly, and phantoms multiform 
 That shriek' d and smote each other ! 
 
 ' Behold them,' cried 
 
 The Accuser, ' Followers of the Crucified ! 
 The ravening wolves of wrath that never sleep, 
 Yet seek his fold and call themselves his sheep ! 
 Where'er they strive, Murder and Madness dwell, 
 And Earth is lighted with the hates of Hell ! 
 
THE WANDERING JEW in 
 
 Lo, how they love each other, having heard 
 The crafty gospel of his broken Word ! 
 Lo, how they surge in everlasting strife, 
 Seeking the mirage of Eternal Life ! ' 
 
 Struggling unto the Judgment place they came, 
 
 Smiting each other in their Master's Name ; 
 
 Beneath their feet fell women stab'd and cleft, 
 
 And little children anguishing bereft. 
 
 And like a Kiver of Blood that ever grew, 
 
 They rush'd until they roll'd round that pale Jew, 
 
 And lo ! his feet grew bloody ere he was 'ware ! 
 
 Yet still they smote each other, and in despair 
 
 Shriek'd out his praises as they multiplied 
 
 Their dead around him . . . And thus they testified ! 
 
 And he, the Man Forlorn, stood mute in woe. 
 
 I saw the white corpse of the Huguenot 
 Float past him on that dreadful Sea of Lives ; 
 
ii2 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 I saw the nun struck down and gash'd with knives 
 Ev'n as she told her beads ; I saw them pass, 
 The Martyrs of the Book or of the Mass, 
 Cast down and slain alike ; the priest of Eome 
 Fought with the priest of Luther, thrusting home 
 With venomous knife or sword ; and evermore 
 The Cross of Blood was wildly waven o'er 
 The waves of carnage, till they swept from sight, 
 Moaning and rushing onward thro' the Night. 
 
 Then, as the Storm seem'd weeping itself away, 
 I saw two ghostly Spirits looming grey 
 Against that dark Golgotha, and one of these 
 Clung to the other, and sank upon his knees. 
 
 * What man art tkou ? ' 
 
 ' JEAN CALAS.' 
 
 ' He whose hands 
 
 Thou, kneeling, wettest \vith thy tears ; who stands 
 Smiling upon the Accused ? ' 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 113 
 
 The last replied : 
 
 * VOLTAIRE the people named me. I denied 
 The godhead of that Jew, and at his brow 
 Pointed in mockery and scorn, as now ! 
 Pope, Kings, and Priests shiver'd like frighten'd birds 
 Before the rain and lightning of my words, 
 And crouch'd with draggled plumage, awed and. dumb, 
 Because they deem'd that Antichrist had come. 
 One day I heard this man in his poor home 
 Shriek loud, encircled by the snakes of Rome ; 
 And tho' their poison slew him, ere he died 
 I crush'd the vipers 'neath my heel, and cried 
 " Thy woes shall be avenged ; J am here ! " 
 Even then a million wretches cast off fear, 
 And looking on this man's seed, redeem'd by me, 
 Fear'd the foul Christ no longer, and grew free ! ' 
 
 Thin, gaunt and pale, around his lips the ray 
 Of a cold scorn, he smiled and passed away, 
 His eyes upon the Jew ; and with him went 
 
 i 
 
ii 4 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Dark silent men whose musing eyes were bent 
 
 On open scrolls ; and 'mong them laughing stood 
 
 A King who held a mimic Cross of wood, 
 
 And broke it o'er his knee, with a fierce jest ; 
 
 So pass'd they, Holbach, Diderot, and the rest, 
 
 The foes of Godhead and the friends of Man ; 
 
 But after them great crowds in tumult ran, 
 
 Who waved their dark and blood-stain'd arms and 
 
 shrieked, 
 
 ' We, who had lain in darkness, rose and wreak' d 
 Man's wrath on this false God, who had scorn'd our 
 
 prayer 
 
 And sent his Kings and Slaves to strip us bare ! 
 Yea, in his Name the Harlots and the Priests 
 Yoked us and harness' d us like blinded beasts ; 
 And when we cried for food they proffered 
 The stones of his cold Gospel and not bread ; 
 And where his blessing fell the foul found gold, 
 And where it fell not we were bought and sold. 
 His foot was on the heads beneath him bowed, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 115 
 
 His hand was with the pitiless and the proud, 
 His mercy failed us, but the curse he gave 
 Pursued our spirits even beyond the grave. 
 Thus he who had promised love gave only hate ! 
 He spake of Heaven and made Earth desolate ! 
 Thou didst at last avenge us, Spirit of Man, 
 Through thee the Night was cloven and Day began, 
 And on thine altars blood as sacrament 
 Appal'd the Kings of Earth this God had sent ! ' 
 
 Then once again the Accuser rose and cried : 
 * The countless hosts of Dead have testified ; 
 But lastly, to this solemn Judgment-place, 
 I summon up the seed of this Man's race ; 
 Bear witness now, ye Jews, against this Jew ! 
 
 i 2 
 
n6 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 XIII 
 
 THEN instantly, as if some swift hand drew 
 A curtain back, the darkness of the Night 
 Was cloven, and thronging in the starry light 
 New legions of the ghostly Dead appear'd, 
 And ever, as the Judgment Seat they near'd, 
 They shriek'd ' MESSIAH ! ' and with lips apart, 
 Startled as if a knife had prick'd his heart, 
 That pale Jew listen'd, and his wan face turn'd 
 To those who cried ; but when those hosts discern'd 
 His human lineaments, they shriek'd anew 
 ' One God we worship, and this Man we slew, 
 Seeing he took the Holy Name in vain ! 
 And since that hour that he was justly slain, 
 His hate hath follow 'd us from place to place ! 
 Wherefore, Judge, we, children of his race, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 117 
 
 Scorn'd, tortured, shamed, defamed, defiled, and driven 
 Outcast from every gate of Earth or Heaven, 
 Still martyr'd living and still dishonour'd dead, 
 Demand thy wrath and judgment on his head, 
 Jesus the Jew, not Christ, but Antichrist ! ' 
 
 Dumb as a lamb brought to be sacrificed, 
 Helpless and bound, He listen'd still with gaze 
 Fix'd on the starry azure's pathless ways, 
 But down his cheeks, furrow'd with weary years, 
 Slowly and softly fell the piteous tears. 
 
 Like hordes of wolves, fierce, foul, and famishing, 
 That round some lonely Traveller shriek and spring, 
 Black'ning the snows around his lonely path, 
 Rending each other in their hungry wrath, 
 The children of the Ghetto, gathering there, 
 His brethren, fed their eyes on his despair 
 And spat their hate upon him ; and the snow 
 Was sooted with these nameless shapes of woe ; 
 
1 1 8 THE WANDERING JE W 
 
 But hither and thither, 'mid the ravening horde, 
 Moved Eabbis who lookt upward and adored 
 The Lord of Hosts, with hoary Saints and Seers, 
 And dark-eyed Maids who sang with sobs and tears 
 Of God's bright City overthrown in shame, 
 Jerusalem the Golden ! and at the Name 
 The woeful throngs who roll'd in tumult by 
 Eent robes, and wail'd, and echoed back the cry 
 * Jerusalem ! Jerusalem ! ' and lo ! 
 From 'midst the multitudinous ebb and flow 
 That ever came and went, there did arise 
 A Prophet, with white beard and burning eyes, 
 Saying, ' Holy, Holy still, thy Name shall be, 
 Jerusalem, thro* God's Eternity ! 
 For tho' thy glory hath fallen, and thy gate 
 Lies broken, and thy streets are desolate, 
 And on thy head ashes and dust are flung, 
 And in thy folds the wolf suckles her young, 
 Thou shalt arise in splendour and in pride, 
 And we, thy people, shall be justified 1 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 119 
 
 Our tents are scattered, and our robes are riven, 
 
 Like chaff before the blast our race hath driven 
 
 In darkness, ever homeless, thro' the lands, 
 
 But never another City by our hands 
 
 Hath been upbuilded, since where'er we roam 
 
 Thou, City of God, art still our Hope and Home \ 
 
 And tho' with bitterest tears our eyes are dim, 
 
 We hearken ever for the call of Him 
 
 Who thunder'd upon Sinai ! ... In thy breast 
 
 This Snake who stings thee still doth make his nest ! 
 
 This Son who smote thee, Mother, still doth lie 
 
 Within thine arms ; but o'er thee, yonder on high, 
 
 Watches the God of Jacob ! Patience yet ! 
 
 Tho' for a little space thy sun hath set, 
 
 As red as blood it shall arise again 
 
 For vengeance, and the God of Wrath shall reign, 
 
 With thee, his Bride long chosen, and over us, 
 
 Thy children ! ' 
 
 Thronging multitudinous, 
 With one great voice they answered : l Holy be 
 
120 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Thy Name, Jerusalem, thro* Eternity ! ' 
 
 And now their wailings sobb'd themselves to calm, 
 
 While to a sound of harps and lutes the psalm 
 
 Of Israel rose to Heaven * Holy be 
 
 Thy Name, Jerusalem, thro' Eternity ! ' 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 121 
 
 XIV 
 THEN said that Form who sat in Judgment : 
 
 'Jew! 
 
 Once judged and slain, yet risen and judged anew, 
 Thou hast heard the Accuser and his Witnesses. 
 Hast thou a word to utter answering these ? 
 Hast thou a living Soul beneath the sky 
 To rise upon thy side and testify ? 
 Summon thy Witnesses, if such there be, 
 Ere I pronounce the doom of Man on thee ! ' 
 
 The Jew gazed round, and wheresoe'er his gaze 
 Shed on that throng its gentle suffering rays, 
 Tumult and wrath were hush'd, as in deep Night 
 Great waves lie down to lap the starry light 
 And lick the Moon's cold feet that touch the Sea. 
 
122 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 ' I have no word to answer,' murmured He, 
 ' The winter of mine age hath come, and lo ! 
 My heart within sinks 'neath its weight of woe ! 
 So faint and far-removed all seems to be, 
 I seem the ghost of mine own Deity, 
 The apparition of myself, and not 
 A living thing with will or strength or thought ! 
 Yet I remember (here his piteous eyes 
 Search'd the bare Heavens again with dim surmise), 
 Yet I remember, on this my Judgment Day, 
 Not what is near, but what is far away. 
 Within my Father's House I fell to sleep 
 In dreamless slumber mystical and deep, 
 And when I waken'd, to mine own faint crying, 
 Above the cradle small where I was lying 
 A Mother's face hung like a star, and smiled. 
 
 ' Transform'd into the likeness of a child, 
 Feebly I drank the milk of mortal being ; 
 But as the green world brightened to my seeing 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 123 
 
 And the round arc of air closed over me, 
 The Land beyond grew dark to memory, 
 And I forgot my former dwelling-place, 
 The Life Eternal, and my Father's Face. 
 Closer and darker, as the summers flew, 
 The folds of flesh around my spirit grew, 
 Shutting that heavenly Mansion from my sight, 
 Save oftentimes in visions of the night 
 When for a space I slept the sleep of earth ; 
 But since that moment of my mortal birth, 
 I have not seen my Father, and now he seems 
 More faint than any form beheld in dreams \ ' 
 
 He paused, uplifting still his weary gaze 
 To search the empty Heaven's pathless ways 
 For miracle and token, then was dumb. 
 
 1 Thy quest hath fail'd, thy Kingdom hath not come, 
 The dark Judge said ; ' thy promise was a Lie 
 Thy Witnesses ? ' 
 
124 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 And Jesus made reply : 
 1 Hosts of the happy Dead whom I have blest ! ' 
 
 ' Call let them come ! ' 
 
 ' I would not break their rest.' 
 
 ' Thou hast lied to them, Jew ! ' the dark Judge cried. 
 And Jesus said, ' Judge, I have not lied ! ' 
 
 1 False was thy promise false and mad and drear. 
 There is no Father ! ' 
 
 'Father, dost Thou hear ? ' 
 
 ' Enough renew thy miracles, and prove 
 Thy words, Jew ! From yonder Void above 
 Summon the Form, the Face, in all men's eyes, 
 And we absolve thee ! ' 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 125 
 
 On the starry skies, 
 
 Still thinly shrouded with the falling snow, 
 He fix'd his wistful gaze, and answer'd low, 
 ' I bide my Father's time ! ' 
 
.126 THE WANDERING JEW

 THEN, as he bent 
 
 His brow like one who kneels for sacrament, 
 And on his feeble form and hoary head 
 The benediction of the Night was shed, 
 Methought I saw a Shape behind him stand, 
 Grim as a godhead graven in brass, his hand 
 Uplifted, and his wrinkled face set stern, 
 While terrible his deep black eyes did burn 
 In scornful wrath. Naked as any stone 
 He stood, save for a beast's skin loosely thrown 
 Around his dusky shoulders, and he said : 
 
 ' Thy Witnesses ? Lord of the Quick and Dead, 
 Call them, and they shall come ! 7 first, who stood 
 And prophesied by Jordan's rolling flood, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 127 
 
 And saw thee shining o'er the throng on me, 
 Thro' the white cloud of thy Humanity, 
 And knew thee in a moment by those eyes 
 Full of the peace of our lost Paradise ! 
 Master and Lord of Life, these hands of mine 
 Baptized thee, blest thee, hailed thee most Divine, 
 Long promised, the Messiah ! and tho' thy brow 
 Is furrowed deep with years, I know thee now, 
 And in the name of all thou wast and art, 
 God's substance, of the living God a part, 
 Bear witness still, as I bare witness then, 
 Before this miserable race of men ! ' 
 
 Then saw I, as he ceased and stood aside, 
 
 Another Spirit fair and radiant-eyed, 
 
 Who, creeping thither, at the Jew's feet fell, 
 
 And looking up with love ineffable 
 
 Cried ' Master ! ' and I knew that I beheld, 
 
 Tho' his face, too, was worn and grey with eld, 
 
 That other John whom Jesus to his breast 
 
128 THE WANDERING JEW ^ 
 
 Drew tenderly, because he loved him best ! 
 But even as I gazed, my soul was stirred 
 By other Shapes that stole without a word 
 Out of the silent dark, and kneeling low 
 Stretched out loving hands and wept in woe : 
 The gentle Mother of God grown grey and old, 
 Her silver hair still thinly sown with gold, 
 Mary the wife, and Mary Magdalen 
 Who murmur 'd * Lord, behold thy Handmaiden,' 
 And kiss'd his feet, her face so sadly fair 
 Hid in the shadows of her snow- strewn hair ; 
 And close to them, as thick as stars, appear'd 
 Faces of children brightening as they near'd 
 The presence of their Father ; and following these 
 Pallid Apostles falling upon their knees, 
 Crying ' Messiah! Master we are here ! ' 
 
 As some poor famish'd wight doth take good cheer 
 Seeing an open door and one who stands 
 Upon the threshold with outstretched hands 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 129 
 
 That welcome him to some well-laden board, 
 
 That Wanderer brightened, while they murmur'd 
 
 < Lord ! 
 We are thy Witnesses in all men's sight ! ' 
 
 Feebly yet happily he rose his height, 
 And even as a Shepherd grave and old 
 Who smiles upon his flock within the fold, 
 He shone upon them till that sad place seemed 
 Fair as a starry night ; and still they stream' d 
 Out of the shadows, passionately crying 
 Upon the Name Beloved and testifying, 
 Till the dark Earth forgot its sorrowing 
 And grew as glad as Heaven opening ! 
 
 Then one cried (and I knew him, for his face 
 Was dark and proud, yet lit with dews of grace, 
 And like an organ's peal his strong voice rang 
 With solemn echoes as of Saints that sang), 
 ' Thy Witnesses ? Father of all that be, 
 
130 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 I persecuted those who followed thee, 
 
 Thy remnant, till thy fire from out the s ky 
 
 Smote me, and as I fell I heard thee cry, 
 
 " Saul, Saul ! " and shook as at the touch of Death ; 
 
 But on my face and eyelids came thy breath 
 
 To make me whole ; and lo ! I sheathed the sword, 
 
 And girded up my loins to preach thy Word. 
 
 And the World listen'd, while the heathen praised 
 
 Thy glory, and believed ; and I upraised 
 
 Temples of marble where thy flocks might pray, 
 
 And where no Temple was from day to day 
 
 I made the Earth thy Temple, and the sky 
 
 A roof for thy Beloved. Lamb of God, 
 
 Thy blood redeemed the Nations, while I trode 
 
 The garden of thy gospel, bearing thence 
 
 Strange flowers of Love and holy Innocence, 
 
 And setting up aloft for all to see 
 
 Thy Huleh-lilies, Faith, Hope, Charity ; 
 
 And of these three I knew the last was best 
 
 Because, like thee, dear Lord, 'twas lowliest ! 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 131 
 
 Thy Witnesses ? Countless as desert sands 
 Their bones are scattered o'er the seas and lands ! 
 Whene'er the Lamp of Life hath sunken low, 
 Whene'er Death beckon'd and 'twas time to go, 
 Where'er dark Pestilence and Disease had crawl'd, 
 Where'er the Soul was darken'd and appal'd, 
 Where mothers wept above their dead first-born, 
 Where children to green graves brought gifts forlorn 
 Of flowers and tears, where, struck 'spite helm and shield, 
 Pale warriors moan'd upon the battlefield, 
 Where Horror thicken'd as a spider's mesh 
 Round plague-smit men and lepers foul of flesh, 
 Where Love and Innocence were brought to shame, 
 And Life forgot its conscience and its aim, 
 Thy blessing, even as Light from far away, 
 Came bright and radiant upon eyes of clay 
 And turn'd the tears of pain to tears of bliss ! 
 Nay, more, to Death itself thy loving kiss 
 Brought consecration ; he, that Angel sad, 
 Ran like a Lamb beside thee, and was glad 
 
 K 2 
 
132 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Uplooking in thy face ! ' 
 
 He ceased, and lo ! 
 
 Like warriors gathering when the trumpets blow, 
 Shapes of dead Saints arose, a shining throng, 
 And standing in their shrouds upraised the song 
 * Hosannah to the Lord ! ' Faint was the cry 
 Withering on the wind as if to die, 
 And loud as clarion- winds above the sound 
 Shrill'd the fierce anger of the hosts around ; 
 And while before the Storm his head was bowed 
 They rose like ocean waves and clamour'd aloud 
 For judgment on the Jew ! 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 133 
 
 XVI 
 
 FAB as the sight 
 
 Could penetrate the blackness of the Night, 
 Stretched the multitudinous living Sea, 
 The angry waters of Humanity, 
 And lo ! their voice was as the ocean's roar 
 Thund'rously beating on some sleepless shore ; 
 And he, the Man Divine, whose eyes were dim 
 With shining down on those who worshipt him, 
 Seem'd as a lonely pharos on a rock, 
 Firm in its place, yet shaken by the shock, 
 And ever blinded by the pitiless foam 
 Of waves that surge and thunder as they come ! 
 
 And as I have seen, on some lone ocean-isle 
 Where never Summer lights or flowers may smile, 
 
134 THE WANDERING JEW \ 
 
 But where the fury of the Tempest blows, 
 The ocean birds in black and shivering rows 
 Huddle along the rocks ; now one, alone, 
 Plunges upon the whirlwind, and is blown 
 Hither and thither as a straw, and then 
 Struggles back feebly to his rocky den, 
 There still to shiver and eye the dreadful flood 
 And with his comrades hungering for food 
 Euffle the feathery crest and brood in fear : 
 Ev'n so, those lonely Saints, who gather'd near 
 The Man forlorn, seem'd to the Sea of Life 
 Which rose around with ceaseless stress and strife, 
 And ever one of these, as if to face 
 The angry blast, would flutter from his place, 
 And driven hither and thither be backward blown, 
 And fall again with faint despairing moan 
 At his sad Master's feet ! 
 
 Then as the Storm 
 Eaged ever louder round his lonely form, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 135 
 
 The Jew uplifted hands and cried aloud ! 
 
 And in a moment, Darkness like a cloud 
 Cover'd him, the great whirlwinds ceased to roar, 
 And all those Waves of Life were still once more. 
 
136 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 XVII 
 
 THEN said that Form who sat in Judgment there : 
 
 ' Ye saw a mirage and ye thought it fair, 
 
 He brought a gospel and ye found it sweet, 
 
 Yea, deemed it heavenly manna and did eat, 
 
 Yet were ye empty still and never fed. 
 
 This man has given ye husks to eat, not bread. 
 
 He said " There is no Death ! " yet Death doth reign. 
 
 He promised you a gift no man may gain, 
 
 Yea, Life that shall endure eternally, 
 
 And told ye of a God no eye shall see, 
 
 Because He is not ! Bid him lift his hand 
 
 And show the Life Divine and Heavenly Land, 
 
 Bid him arise and take his Throne and reign ! 
 
 He cannot, for he knoweth he dream'd in vain, 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 137 
 
 And empty of his hope he stands at last, 
 Now the full measure of his power hath passed. 
 Not yours the sin, poor Shadows of the Dead, 
 Not yours the shame, which rests upon his head 
 As dust and ashes. Back to your graves, and sleep ! 
 We judge the Shepherd, not the blameless sheep 
 Who gather'd on the heights to hear his voice 
 Cry down to deep on deep " Kejoice ! rejoice ! " 
 Fringe of his raiment that is riven and rent, 
 Breath of his nostrils that is lost and spent, 
 Thin echoes of his voice from out the tomb, 
 Go by. This Man is ours, to judge and doom.' 
 
 He spake ; and quietly, without a word, 
 The Christ bow'd down his head, but those who heard, 
 His remnant, wringing hands and making moan, 
 Cried: 'Lord, thou nearest? Speak and take thy 
 
 Throne ! 
 
 Still these wild waters of Humanity, 
 Walking thereon, as once on Galilee ! 
 
138 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Our graves lie open yonder, but we are fain 
 To wake with thee and never to sleep again 
 Unfold Thy Heavens, and bid these clouds give place, 
 That we may look upon the Father's face ! ' 
 
 And Jesus answer'd not, but shook and wept. 
 
 Then the grey Mother to his bosom crept, 
 And with her thin hands touch'd his sad grey hair, 
 Saying ' My Son, my First-born ! Let me share 
 Thy failure or Thy glory ! Free or bound, 
 Cast down into the dust or throned and crown'd, 
 Thou art still my Son ! ' and kneeling at his feet, 
 That other Mary, gazing up to meet 
 The blessing of his eyes, cried ' Holy be 
 Thy Name, for all the joy it brought to me ! 
 Not for thy Godhead did I hold thee dear, 
 Not for thy Father, who hath left thee here 
 Helpless, unpitied, homeless 'neath the skies, 
 But for the human love within thine eyes ! 
 
THE WAmaaanG JEW 139 
 
 And wheresoe'er thou goest, howsoe'er 
 
 Thoa fallest, tho* it be to Hell's despair, 
 
 I, thy poor handmaid, still would follow thee, 
 
 For in thy face is Lore's Eternity, 
 
 And tho' thou art of all the World bereaveo, 
 
 Still, where thou art, Beloved, there is Heaven ! ' 
 
 As some white Alpine peak, wrapt round with cloud, 
 Suddenly sweeps aside its Hinging shroud 
 Of gloomy mists and vapours dark and chill, 
 And shines in lonely splendour clear and still, 
 With gleams of stainless ice and snow thrice shriven, 
 Against the azure of the opening Heaven, 
 So that the soul is shaken unaware 
 With that new glory desolately fair, 
 so the Christ, uprising suddenly 
 To loneliness of lofty sovereignty, 
 Cast off the darkness of despair and tower'd 
 High o'er the shadows that beneath him cower 'd ! 
 Then all was hush'd, while on his hoary head 
 
140 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Light from a million spheres was softly shed, 
 Fire from a million worlds that lit the Night 
 Fell on his face miraculously bright, 
 And even that Judge who watch' d him from afar 
 Seem'd but a storm-cloud shrinking 'neath a Star ! 
 And thus, while heavenly anger lit his cheek 
 As still sheet-lightning lights the snowy peak, 
 He answered: 
 
 * Woe ! eternal Woe ! be yours 
 Who scorn the Eternal Pity which endures 
 While all things else pass by ! Your lips did thirst- 
 I brought ye water from the Founts which burst 
 Beneath the bright tread of my Father's feet ! 
 Ye hunger'd, and I brought ye food to eat 
 Manna, not husks or ashes : these ye chose, 
 And me, the living Christ, ye bruised with blows 
 And would have slain once more, and evermore ! 
 Ye revell'd, and I moan'd without your door 
 Outcast and cold ; ye sinned in my Name, 
 And flung me then the raiment of your shame ; 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 141 
 
 Ye turn'd the heart of the Eternal One 
 
 'Gainst you, his children, and 'gainst me, his Son, 
 
 So that my promise grew a dream forlorn, 
 
 And all I sow'd in love, ye reapt in scorn. 
 
 Woe to ye all ! and endless Woe to Me 
 
 Who deem'd that I could save Humanity ! 
 
 The Father knew men better when He sent 
 
 His angel Death to be his instrument 
 
 And smite them ever down as with a sword ! 
 
 Instead of Death, I offer'd ye my Word, 
 
 My Light, my Truth, my Life ! I wasted breath, 
 
 For though I gave ye these, ye turn'd to Death ! 
 
 And I, your Lord, for love of you, denied 
 
 My Soul the sleep it sought, and rose to guide 
 
 Your footsteps to the Land we ne'er shall gain, 
 
 Because at last I know my Dream was vain ! 
 
 I plough'd the rocks, and cast in rifts of stone 
 
 The seeds of Life Divine that ne'er have grown ; 
 
 I labour'd and I labour, last and first, 
 
 Within a barren Vineyard God hath curst ; 
 
142 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 And now the Winter of mine age is here, 
 And one by one like leaves ye disappear, 
 While I, a blighted Tree, abide to show 
 The Woe of all Mankind, the eternal Woe 
 Which I, your Lord, must share ! ' 
 
 Even so he spake, 
 
 Pallid in wrath ; but as low murmurs wake 
 Under the region of the Peak, and rise 
 To thunders answered from the thund'ring skies, 
 While cataract cries to cataract, and o'erhead 
 Heaven darkens into anger deep and dread, 
 Cries from the shadowy legions answer'd him, 
 Wild voices wail'd, and all the Void grew dim 
 With cloud on cloud. So that serene sad Face 
 Was blotted out of vision for a space, 
 And out of darkness on that radiant form 
 Sprang the fierce pards and panthers of the Storm ! 
 Then the Earth trembled, and the crimson levin 
 Shot swift and lurid o'er the vaults of Heaven, 
 

 THE WANDERING JEW 143 
 
 And thunder answer'd thunder with crash on crash 
 As beast doth beast, but at each lightning-flash 
 I saw him standing pale and terrible, 
 Unscath'd yet swathen as with fire from Hell ! 
 
 But lo, from out the darkness round his feet 
 There came a voice most passionately sweet 
 Crying ' Adonai ! Lord ! Forgive us, even 
 Altho' our sins be seventy times seven ! 
 Comfort the remnant of thy flock, and bless 
 Thy Well Beloved ! ' and my Soul could guess 
 Whose voice had call'd, for at the voice's sound 
 He trembled and he reach'd towards the ground 
 With eager trembling hands ; and at the touch 
 Of her who had loved not wisely, but too much, 
 His force fell from him, and he wept aloud, 
 While heavily his hoary head was bowed 
 In utter impotence of Deity ! 
 
144 THE WANDERING JEW ^ 
 
 XVIII 
 
 EVEN then, methought, that angry living Sea 
 Surged round him, and again I did discern 
 The Phantoms of Golgotha ! Soldiers stern 
 Who pointed with their spears and pricked him on, 
 While on his shoulders drooping woe-begone 
 They thrust the great black Cross ! Upon his head 
 A crown of thorns was set, and dript its red 
 Dark drops upon his brow, while loud they cried 
 ' Lo, this is Jesus whom we crucified, 
 And lo, he hath risen, and shall die once more ! ' 
 And as a waif is cast on some dark shore 
 By breaking waves of Ocean and is ta'en 
 Back by the surge again and yet again, 
 Even so the Man was tost, till he lay prone, 
 Breathless, a ragged heap, beneath the Thron2. 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 145 
 
 Golgotha ! Like the very Hill of Death, 
 Skull-shapen, yet a living thing of breath, 
 The dark Judge loonfd, with orbs of fateful flame, 
 And motion'd back the crying crowd that came 
 Shrieking for judgment on that holy head ; 
 And lo, they faltered back ! 
 
 Then the Voice said : 
 1 Arise, Jew ! ' 
 
 And Jesus rose. 
 
 * Again 
 Take up thy Cross ! ' 
 
 Calm, with no moan of pain, 
 Jesus took up the Cross. While 'neath its load 
 He shook as if to fall, his white hair snow'd 
 Around his woeful face and wistful eyes ! 
 
 While thus he stood, bowed down in pain, the cries 
 Of those who loved him pierced his suffering heart. 
 Trembling he heard again, with lips apart 
 
146 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 And listening eyes, the faithful remnant moan : 
 * Adonai ! Lord and Master ! Take thy Throne, 
 And claim thy Kingdom ! ' but with clamorous sound 
 Of laughter fierce and mad the cry was drowned, 
 And at his naked breast the forked light 
 Stabb'd like a knife, while thro' the gulfs of Night 
 The thunders roar'd ! 
 
 Trembling at last he rose, 
 And as a wind-smit tree shakes off the snows 
 That cling upon its boughs, he gathered 
 His strength together, and with lifted head 
 Gazed at his Judge ; and lo, again the storm 
 Of darkness ebbed away and left his Form 
 Serene and luminous as an Alpine peak 
 Shining above these valleys ! On his cheek 
 The sheeted light gleam'd softly, while on high 
 The silent azure open'd like an eye 
 And gazed upon him, pitilessly fair. 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 147 
 
 So round about him as he waited there 
 Silence like starlight fell, till suddenly, 
 Like surge innumerable of one great Sea, 
 A million voices moaned, * Speak now his Doom ! ' 
 
M8 THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 XIX 
 
 THEN, pointing with dark finger thro' the gloom 
 
 On him who stood erect with hoary head, 
 
 The Judge gazed down with dreadful eyes, and said : 
 
 ' Ere yet I speak thy Doom that must be spoken 
 Before the World whose great heart thou hast broken, 
 Hast thou another word to say, Jew ? ' 
 
 And the Jew answer'd, while the heavenly blue 
 Fill'd like an eye with starry crystal tears, 
 ' Far have I wander'd thro' the sleepless years 
 Be pitiful, Judge, and let me die ! ' 
 
 * Death to him, Death ! ' I heard the voices cry 
 Of that great Multitude. But the Voice said : 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 149 
 
 'Nay! 
 
 Death that brought peace thyself didst seek to slay ! 
 Death that was merciful and very fair, 
 Sweet dove-eyed Death that hush'd the Earth's despair, 
 Death that shed balm on tired eyes like thine, 
 Death that was Lord of Life and all Divine, 
 Thou didst deny us, offering instead 
 The Soul's fierce famine that can ne'er be fed 
 Death shall abide to bless all things that be, 
 But evermore shall turn aside from thee 
 Hear then thy Doom ! ' 
 
 He paused, while all around 
 The Sea of Life lay still without a sound, 
 And on the Man Divine, Death's King and Lord, 
 The sacrament of heavenly Light was pour'd. 
 
 ' Since thou hast quicken'd what thou canst not kill, 
 
 Awaken'd famine thou canst never still, 
 
 Spoken in madness, prophesied in vain, 
 
 And promised what no thing of clay shall gain, 
 
i5o THE WANDERING JEW 
 
 Thou shalt abide while all things ebb and flow, 
 Wake while the weary sleep, wait while they go, 
 And treading paths no human feet have trod 
 Search on still vainly for thy Father, God ; 
 Thy blessing shall pursue thee as a curse 
 To hunt thee, homeless, thro' the Universe ; 
 No hand shall slay thee, for no hand shall dare 
 To strike the godhead Death itself must spare ! 
 With all the woes of Earth upon thy head, 
 Uplift thy Cross, and go. Thy Doom is said.' 
 
THE WANDERING JEW 151

 AND lo ! while all men come and pass away, 
 That Phantom of the Christ, forlorn and grey, 
 Haunteth the Earth with desolate footfall. . . . 
 
 God help the Christ, that Christ may help us all !

 By EGBERT BUCHANAN. 
 
 The TAGEBLATT (Berlin) says : ' We have again to thank Robert Buchanan for a 
 poem that stands out from the chaos of books and booklets. It is stimulating, spiritual, 
 entrancing really a " rhjiue for the time," with its restless striving and its pessimism. 
 We feel inclined to believe that the spirit of Don Juan and Cain speaks to us once more. 
 Epigrammatic point, clever word-play, piquancy, home-hitting satire.' 
 
 The STAR says : 'Buchanan is a spiritualist in a world of materialists. In this is his 
 significance, and in this he stands side by side with the greatest poets of our time, with 
 him who has just left us, and with "the Master yonder in the Isle." ' 
 
 VANITY FAIR says : 'A very remarkable production. The audacity of its reflections 
 is little short of astounding. The poem is a brilliant piece of work.' 
 
 TLe OBSERVER bays : ' The Lest work Mr. Buchanan has given ns. It is plain speak- 
 ing in a very pretty language, and with a good story to tell. Let it be sid at once 
 that the poem is written for grown men and women, not for children, and that it is 
 a clever, interesting, and intelligent production.' 
 
 The ILLUSTRATED SIGHTING AND DRAMATIC NEWS says: 'Occupied all day and 
 much amused with reading Buchanan's " Outcast" ... I revelled in the work because, 
 in the first place, it is dramatically interesting ; and, secondly, it is so wild, vigorous, 
 and surprising.' (' Diana's Diary.') 
 
 The SCOTSMAN says : Amazingly clever and wonderfully beautiful.' 
 
 The GLASGOW HERAT D saj s : ' One of the most intei estiug of books. It will charm 
 his friends and delight his foes. The latter will be gratelul for the opportunities) it 
 affords them of brickheaving and slating. . . . The fiist tale is very beautiful, and 
 shows that Mr. Buchanan s hand has lo.-t none of its poetic cunning. Tiie book contains 
 a fine criticism of life and all its interests, and is phenomenally clever.' 
 
 . The first Edition of The Outcast' being almost exhausted, 
 a New and Cheaper Edition is in preparation.
