London Sonnets

by Humbert Wolfe ...

SOMETIMES when I think of love I hear a heavy voice repeat “There’s a good doctor up the street.” And either it seems I am hard at hearing Or stupid perhaps or terribly fearing. For its late of a winter night and raining With cry of wind; or is something complaining? One lamp in the street and a leafless tree And a thing is moving that frightens me, With fingers that hover about my nape A shape ... Read more

Shylock Reasons with Mr. Chesterton and Other Poems

by Humbert Wolfe ...

JEW-BAITING still! Two thousand years are run And still, it seems, good Master Chesterton, Nothing’s abated of the old offence. Changing its shape, it never changes tense. Other things were, this only was and is. And whether Judas murder with a kiss, Or Shylock catch a Christian with a gin, All all’s the same—the first enormous sin Traps Judas in the moneylender’s mesh And cuts from Jesus’ side ... Read more
