baths, but the slaveattendants and the sweet perfumes are miss-ing, and the love-lorn Arab lad no longerimprovises his passionate songs beneaththe windows of the houri-like maiden whohas enraptured his heart. All this haspassed away forever. DESTINY By JAMES BUCKHAM I know the house wherein my soul shall dwell.My soul hath built it, or in heaven or hell.Needs not the Judgment Book my fate to tell. No fiat doth await the free-born mind.Itself elects, itself doth loose or bind.As writes the soul, so is the edict signed. Immortal life is evolution still. The stream of being floweth as it will. God doth not hinder. God doth but fulfil. The nature-child shall unto nature go.The Spirit-lover shall the Spirit know.The earth-bound back to stream of atoms flow. My joy of joys my spouse must ever be. I go to that I love. Nor shall I see The Face that eer on earth was dark to me. In life to come, O soul, what shalt thou be?Thine own election and affinity!Absorbed in what hath here absorbed thee.
