…afel the dread,2 Exalt, exalt our love at last among the living and the dead, Resort to love, and press its purple calix with His purple head, Till fall the pearls with rubies strung, the dews upon the dawn that bled. Crimson, o lover, was our love, and crimson streams the sunset past ; Hyacinthine glows the vault of night, the Future certain, sure to last. Accept the gold of noon that pours its white-hot flood, its radiant blast !

…eality. VI THE CURTAIN Thy podex, like a rose, within Thy buttocks, sprays of jessamine, Buds to my kisses ; then the wine Sets this old head of mine aspin, So that I push thee to thy knees— A worship, darling, not a sin. Deep as I plunge, I do not break Within the velvet of thy skin. Do what I will, thy Self is hid From me by envy of the Jinn. So, when I think, I cannot pierce The truth of things ; I cannot win Unto the real ; life’s wheel is kept From turning by its axle-pin.1 But swing thine hips and smile upon The hideous world’s malicious …

…though I am beautiful and swift, but I certainly possess an immense horn.1 Also there is a great bird which, when in danger, placeth its head within the sand, exposing its po- dex. Thou, Habib, though otherwise not at all like a bird, dost expose thy podex, even when in no danger.1 I cannot but think that all this was in the mind of the Mullah, when in his sermon on Friday he reproached us openly with beastliness. It is true that no beast does anything in the hope of receiving money ; it is in my mind to take an hundred dinars2 to this one-eyed…

…urse fluently, so that at last the guests are weary. Only last night I was bidden by Yusuf,2 that ill- conditioned3 bastard ! to hide my head therein, if so I loved it ; adding that, thanks to the Qazi, there would be no difficulty in performing the task. Both these reproaches are thy fault, Habib ! O beautiful one ! thou hast bewitched me and thou hast betrayed me. But as thy beauty excuses the former, so does thy return make an end of regret for the latter. Now am I aware of the wisdom of my tutor, who bade me weary not of the length of the B…

…enly nip hard on to it and finish, like the closing of the trap. 4. Les affaires sont les affaires. Swallow the penis whole, rocking the head fu- riously backwards and forwards. 5. The Woodpecker. Bite sharply with teeth upon the penis. 6. The Limpet (or Barnacle). Suck the gland hard, so as to create a vacuum (this is a rude cupping process, causes the blood to flow strongly to the part and so is almost unfailing as a means of producing erection). 7. The Oyster Supper. Spit on the penis and catch the “ oysters ” until they replaced by the “ pe…

… it ; for mystical reasons, doubtless, but also because (to my eyes at least) it actually has that colour. 6. I suspect, maugre Mahbub’s head, that this is “ writ sarcastic.” The pompous old dullard must have seemed to our lively Abdullah very much as Southey did to Byron. Yet the Eastern is a terrible slave to convention, and may perhaps acquiesce in Hafiz as the undergraduate of to-day acquiesces in Milton. 7. The central thought of these two chapters is represented in the Buddhist philosophy, per- haps ; but in the Hindu practice, certainly.…

76 The First Joy of Union. 1. The Sanskrit root Sar “ head ” has given to Europe and Asia the word for ruler ; as Sar, sir, sieur, Caesar, Sarah, Kaiser, Tsar, Shah, sirdar, sirkar, sire, signor, señor, siegneur, and a host of others. 2. [Persian text] the temple at Mecca. But I think here it means the House not made with hands. The letter [Persian text] itself (not [Persian text] but the Hebrew ב. Ed.) means house, and connotes (says Mahbub) a great Magus — “ The Magus of Power.” The passage means therefore that mystic Union is the key to Prac…
