Poems of the Past and the Present

Depart then, Love!... / âMan's race shall end, dost threaten thou?/ The age to come the man of now/ Know nothing of? / â We fear not such a threat from thee; / We are too old in apathy! / Mankind shall cease. â So let it be,' / I said to Love.Poems of the Past and the Present contains poems on war and pilgrimage as well as imitation of classical poets such as Sapho and Catullus.
