WILDE OSCAR [1854–1900]
Ave Maria plena Gratia
Was this His coming! I had hoped to see A scene of wondrous glory, as was told Of some great God who in a rain of gold Broke open bars and fell on Danae: Or a dread vision as when Semele 5 Sickening for love and unappeased desire Prayed to see God’s clear body, and the fire Caught her white limbs and slew her utterly: With such glad dreams I sought this holy place, And now with wondering eyes and heart I stand 10 Before this supreme mystery of Love: A kneeling girl with passionless pale face, An angel with a lily in his hand, And over both with outstretched wings the Dove.
