…THE MYSTERIES “No, look, and say what you see.” “T see a black night in which whirl sparks of every colour around two great ever-rolling eyes. From these eyes leap rays whose spiral whorls fill space. . . . Oh, it hurts me! Wake me!” “No, look.” “Where do you wish me to look now?” “Look into Paradise.” “No, I cannot climb there; the great night pushes me back, I always fall back.” “Very well then, look into hell.” Here the sleep-waker became convulsively agitated. “No, no!” she cried sobbing; ‘I will not! I shall be giddy; I should fall! Oh, ho…

…easy stress ? Ah! wert thou here, sweetheart, I would not sing These foolish songs. I only turn to rime When thou art absent ; for thine eyes would bring A light too dazzling for mine eyes; but time, When thou art from me, surely makes thee live Foor ever, from mine aris a fugitive. (1) Red light and mirrored roses! Is the world A mirror only of life? Is death the thing Within the heart of life so deeply curled That only at life’s end the thorn can sting? It may be. Yet I only care to know The imagery of the most fairest Rose ; So that I dwell …

Night! discover Her of the wanton eyes That fled before me So long, And scattered o'er me Alas! the star-dust that should blind mine eyes, And hide me from the skies. Is love so strong? So weak the lover? Yea, night shall yet discover My song, my veiléd song. 153

…eary for despair— Yea, I have found thee too, thee too, And round thee all the blue Of the skies is blackened ; waned The light of thine eyes to the dusk. The husk, the husk Of all dead dreams, dead dreams Is come upon thee; Dust and ash and musk, and musk, and musk— All these are on thee. . . . I bear a chalice of red-tipped lilies under the moon. Bestrewn The dim pathway of delight With night, And her dim, pale stars that swoon In the circle of the skies. Thine eyes, O radiant god, are waning, and there dies 154

…nfinite, unheard-of, Dreams devouring and depraving, Songs no God may guess a word of, Songs of crime and songs of craving— By the drear eyes of the devil Bleak and sterile as they glitter I adore Thee, King of Evil, With these lips, as dry and bitter As the drear eyes of the devil! I adore Thee, I invoke Thee, I abase myself before Thee, By the spells that once awoke the Lust of Chaos I adore Thee, I adore Thee, I invoke Thee !

…inite, the unknown known, the immeasurable measured, the indicible named. That is to say that dogma could only cease to be absurd in the eyes of reason to become, in the eyes of faith, science, reason and good sense in one, the most monstrous and the most impossible of all absurdities. Remain the objections of dissent. The Jews, our fathers in religion, reproach us with having attacked the unity of God, with having changed the immut- able and eternal law, with adoring the creature instead of the Creator. These heavy reproaches are founded on th…

…fifth who is invisible, & therein am I as a babe in an egg.) 50. Blue am I and gold in the light of my bride: but the red gleam is in my eyes; & my spangles are purple & green. 51. Purple beyond purple: it is the light higher than eyesight. 52. There is a veil: that veil is black. It is the veil of the modest woman; it is the veil of sorrow, & the pall of death: this is none of me. Tear down that lying spectre of the centuries: veil not your vices in virtuous words: these vices are my service; ye do well, & I will reward you here and hereafter.…

…, our rages of hurt vanity, and our ill- satisfied passions. A kindly and gentle philosophy would avoid all these evils. If we close our eyes to the defects of our neighbour, and only consider his good qualities, we shall find good and benevolence everywhere. The most perverse man has a good side to him, and softens when one knows how to take him. If you had nothing in common with the vices of men, you would not even perceive them. Friendship, and the devotions which it inspires, are found even in prisons and in convict stations. The horrible L…

…Hierophant tears from his lyre sublime heartrending songs, he looks no more save upon Heaven, he weeps, he prays, and Eurydice opens her eyes . . . Unhappy one, do not look at her! sing! sing! do not scare away the butterfly of Psyche, which is about to alight on this flower! But the insensate man has seen the look of the woman whom he has raised from the dead, the Grand Hiero- phant gives place to the lover, his lyre falls from his hands, he looks upon Eurydice, he darts towards her, . . . he clasps her in his arms, he finds her frozen still, …

…lize myself with the sight of the eternal truth. Let there be light! and there is light. Light, eternal as God, begins every day for all eyes that are open to see it. Truth will be eternally the invention and the creation of genius; it cries: Let there be light! and genius itself is, because light is. Genius is immortal because it understands that light is eternal. Genius contemplates truth as its work because it is the victor of light, and immortality is the triumph of light because it will be the recompense and crown of genius. But all spirit…

The silver wonder Of silent stars, The silent thunder Of sunset’s bars, The crimson flare In the ashes of day, Are everywhere On the secret way: Under the hill The clamouring gnomes, For a moment still In their darkened homes, Hear the deep night,

THE EQUINOX I am blind when I have eyes. ... Here, see what John Huss says in his letter, the forty-third letter, towards the end: “A doctor of theology said to me: “In everything I should submit myself to the Council ; everything would then be good and lawful for me.” He added: “If the Council said that you had only one eye, although you have two, it would be still necessary to admit that the Council was not wrong.” “Were the whole world,” I replied, ‘to affirm such a thing, so long as I had the use of my reason, I should not be able to agree …
