Synopsis

Musical vision of creation, decay, and rebirth within a cosmic masque. A powerful sequence of poems paints the life cycle of the universe, from chaos and death to a radiant re-birth. The imagery sweeps across Sun, Earth, Moon, and the elements, weaving a mythic drama that feels both ancient and urgent. This edition gathers the book’s staged figures and their songs into a single, immersive experience.

In these pages, the Spirit of Chaos and the Spirit of Creation move through skies and worlds, shaping oceans, winds, and fire. The work unfolds in vivid, lyric scenes where planets speak, seasons turn, and the Earth pleads with the suffering of life. The voice shifts from despair to hopeful renewal, culminating in a rebirth that promises new worlds and renewed light.

• Experience dramatic personifications of the elements—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water—each speaking in a distinct voice.


• Follow a mythic arc from destruction toward a luminous re-birth of worlds.


• Feel the scale of cosmic time, from stellar collapse to planetary creation.


• Immerse yourself in lush, symbolic imagery and a rhythmic, ceremonial tone.

Ideal for readers who enjoy mythic poetry, cosmic spectacle, and meditations on life, death, and renewal.

The Masque of the Elements

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Threnody and Birth-song oi theE lements, written inC alifornia some five years ago, I have striven to capture and present some of the chief factors and phases of the eternal drama of Life and Death in the Universe. These powers, elements and agents I have endowed with human attributes and human emotions as though it were Man himself who uttered himself through them. The actors in this cosmic masque or pageant of the planets are theS un, theM oon and theE arth with her four Elements; for stage there is the limitless background ofT ime andS pace, and the audience may be conceived as being represented by Immanent Nature. Creation and Dissolution are her ministers, twin forces of that divine everlasting Energy which brings to pass the cycles of theE ternal Recurrence.
