The Equinox (Volume I, Number I)

THE LOST SHEPHERD VI Under the willows the stream runs strong When the wind is shrill and high ; I wandered on, and I wandered long, Under the fleecy sky. A voice came out of a cloud to me, Saying, ‘‘ Hast thou brought thy heart with thee?” And much I marvelled, and won a song, And so the day passed by. VII I was a shepherd in other days, Ere ever the earth was old ; I wandered far into the Northern ways To bring back my sheep to the fold. Heyday ! but the time was drear and long, For I lost my pipe and my mountain-song, And all the others of m…

… my clamorous dithyrambs Like a stain on the shield of the sky. With blood and censer and song I rent the mysterious veil : My eyes gaze long and long On the deep of that blissful bale. My cold grey kisses awake From the silence of utmost eld The grey cold slime of the snake That her beautiful body held. But—God! I was not content With the blasphemous secret of years ; The veil is hardly rent While the eyes rain stones for tears. So I clung to the lips and laughed As the storms of death abated, The storms of the grevious graft By the swing of h…

XIII And many a love long since I’ve known, And many a city rare ; I have sung and harped, I have fought and flown, I have wandered everywhere. But the thought of that day by the water-side, The god’s hot breath and the hidden bride, Makes me more shy as I wander alone, Unknowing whither I fare. XIV And in the morning Pan rose and fled, And left me alone to sleep; And long I lay in a slumber dead. Then on hands and knees did I cre…

A HANDBOOK OF GEOMANCY That the Querent’s loss in business has been principally owing to his own mismanagement; that he will have a long and hard struggle, but will meet with help from friends; that his obstacles will gradually give way; and that after much anxiety he will eventually recoup himself for his previous losses.

One end was fastened to the top of the Black Craig, and a sentinel was told off to watch that it did not slip. The other end was seized by a long-legged trow called “ Hempie,” the “ Ferry-leuper,” who made an enormous leap 347

… less definite but far from indefinite number of thoughts makes an hour’s consciousness. Perhaps powerful and vivid thoughts count for a longer lapse of time than weak ones. Deep sleep passes like an invisible electric discharge. The apparently contrary fact that time seems short when we have been reading an interesting book or performing a pleasant and absorbing task is explained thus; the multitude of impressions is harmonised into one impression. Read an unharmonious and dull book, or an essay like this, and the time appears ineffably long. …

… firmly convinced of being the cover of the lost coffin, I found it better to agree with him. And soon he fell into the trap. Hiding the longing after my box and its contents, the doll and the skull and the mighty books, I spoke to him as if com- pletely unconcerned about the loss, and unrolled a scheme for civilising the natives. He told me of a little hut under the canopy, where my two wives were waiting for my arrival, as soon as I could get up and walk there. He did not expect me to do so before a long while, but he was wrong. Withacautious…

THE EQUINOX XV After long dreamless sleep I knew The tale that had fled my tongue, I found it far in the water blue, In the song by the skylark sung, In the melody slow of the waving corn, In the rushing of wind through the vines re-born, And wherever the water-lilies grew, And the green, green willows swung. XVI And still the lady of my dream As a light before me goes ; I see her in the sun’s last gleam, In the moonlight on the snows. Ah! chiefly then her song is sung, When the moon o’er the dark green woods is hung; She is born at midnight on…

…f I seem calmer, it is but that age has robbed me of the force of passion. In vain you tell me, laughing, that if she ever lived, she is long since dead ; or at least is an old woman, the blonde gold faded, the child-face wrinkled, the body bowed and lax. I laugh at you—at you—for a blaspheming ass. Your folly is too wild to anger me!” “T did not laugh,” said Roderic gravely. “Well,” said the old man, rising, “I fear I have wearied you...

… lorateur.” I believe the author tobe mad. I nevertheless think it necessary to state that I am not an authority on insanity. Ever since long before my birth I led a peaceful existence. As I grew, Science attracted me, and Art, and Poetry; my favourite recreation was the conversion of puppy-owners to the generous belief in the regeneration of the canine race by the preservation of their caudal appendage. Also the genius which breathed within me caused me to leave my house on the fifth of November. Passing a crowded street, I was surrounded by u…

It has been my pious duty to collate and comment upon this arcane knowledge, long treasured in my heart, watered alike by my tears and my blood, and sunned by that all- glorious Ray that multiplieth itself into an Orb ineffable. In this Garden no flower was fairer than this exquisite discourse; I beg my readers to pluck it and lay it in their hearts.

A dull dead black that gave back no light from the two solemn candlesticks of silver, crowned with long guttering tapers, which gave the only relief in all that world of night. These stood at the head of her strange couch. It wasa huge coffin, lidless, with hinged sides, whereon she lay. She had loosened the girths and lowered the sides, to stretch her- self at ease. Six black ropes of silk hung from the ceiling with their hooks, which could be attached to rings on the 187

…eproduce here an infinitesimal part of the numberless thoughts which came to my mind in that moment. However—for this should prove a too long narrative— IT soon ceased ruminating upon the future, for the women began singing a sort of cheerless lay. ‘“ How, fah, fah, how, loh, hew, hew,” it went on, and I could foresee no end to the romance. In the meantime the maidens advanced towards me, and while their thoughts gave way to the noise referred to already, their hands soon began gently scratching my head, as if to prey upon my hair.

“The Bomb’ By FRANK HARRIS (John Long. 6/:.) G, This sensational novel, by the well-known Editor of “Vanity Fair,” has evoked a chorus of praise from the reviewers, and has been one of the most talked-of books of the season. We append a few criticisms : Mr. ALeIster CROWLEY: “ This book is, in truth, a masterpiece ; so intense is the impression that one almost asks, ‘Is this a novel or a confession? Did not Frank Harris perhaps throw the bomb?’ At least he has thrown one now. . . . This is the best novel I have ever read.” The Times: “*The Bomb…
