THE JINN - VISION 
 
 
I plunged my stamen-shapen spud1 
Into a pool of crimson mud. 
 
Yet stars2 I saw ;  and camel-jinn3 
And moons4 upon the winds that scud.5 
 
The sun6 I saw ;  and night borne up7 
upon some dark eternal flood. 
 
Ay !  mine Habib !  thy body’s key 
Is like a scarlet poppy-bud. 
 
Strike in my bell thy clapper ;  wake 
The cosmic echo in my blood ! 
 
For El Qahar thy beauty broods, 
Of thy perfections chews the cud. 
 
 
 
1.  [Persian text] Suli, an impaling stake.  A rare 
word of Sanskrit origin. 
2.  Chokmah, the “ emanation ” referred to the 
Sphere of the Stars. 
3.  Geburah.  Curiously reminiscent of Cazotte’s 
conception of Asmodai.  There may be a pun be-
tween [Persian text] camel or distortions of them.  
One may consult the descriptions of the 72 evil 
spirits of the Goetia, or the following actual results 
of the clairvoyance of a well known Irish lady.
