The Vision and the Voice

THE EQUINOX And there is a string instrument, somewhat like a zither. And there is a human voice. And a voice comes: this is the Song of the Sphinx, which she singeth ever in the ears of men. And it is the song of the syrens. And whoever heareth it is lost. I III Mu pa telai, O chi balae Tu wa melai Wa pa malae:— A, 4, 3. Ut! Ut! Ut! Tu fu tulu! Ge; fu latrai, Tu fu tulu Le fu malai Pa, Sa, Ga. Kat!—Hit!—Nit. II IV Qwi Mu telai AI OAI Ya Pa melai; Rel moai a, a, a Ti—Ti—Ti! ’ Se gu melai; Wa la pelai Pe fu telai, Tu fu latai Fu tu lu. Wi, Ni, Bi. Translation of Song. I Silence! the moon ceaseth (her motion), That also was sweet In the air, in the air, in the air! Who Will shall attain! Who Will shall attain By the Moon, and by Myself, and by the Angel of the Lord! Il Now Silence ceaseth And the moon waxeth sweet; (It is the hour of) Initiation, Initiation, Initiation. The kiss of Isis is honeyed; My own Will is ended, For Will hath attained. 162
