The rapture in rapture. 153 XLII BAGH-I-MUATTAR Ye cypress-breasted boys of birth, attend the coming of the gloom ! Expose your breasts of jasmine, show your lily buttocks all abloom ! Let Love awake, and blush, as Love comes glimmering from the starry womb, With standing member all aglow, purpled with cloth from Rapture’s loom. O tulip cheeks ! O lips of rose ! the joy of Allah ye assume, Rejoicing in the luscious play, the slippery splendour of the spume Cast from the holy hiding-place for ever till the day of doom. Rejoice, O podex, in thy s…

The relations between the twins of rapture. 141 My member is the finder-out of thy podex, even in the darkest abyss ; my member surviveth a thousand times a thousand orgasms14 and inheri- teth a wealth of them like a miser hoarding gold coin, assuaging thy desire. My member is the guide of thy podex, never leav- ing it for a moment ; patient is he, eternally toiling therein15 ; for Hua16 is God, and His Name is Un- known, like all things save Himself only, assuaging thy desire.

…XXVIII THE POTTER The dew is on the rose ; behold The sun illume them with his gold ! My dew is on thy rose ; what Light Their love with rapture doth enfold ? They are immune from Life and Death ; From heat and hunger, thirst and cold. The worn ascetics1 of the mosque Guess not what joy the ages hold. Seek we the tavern and the stream, The garden and the grassy wold ! No potter fashioned thee, o man ! ’Tis thou that didst the Potter mould. From Fear grew Hell, from Hope sprang Heaven ; From Love our Ecstasy untold.2 Those are delusions, slow to…

When an then time of voiding urine, the Yo- gi draws it up forcibly through the Apana-Vayu, and keeping it up, discharges it slowly and slow- ly ; and practises this daily according to the in- structions of his Guru, he obtains the vindusiddhi (power over semen), that gives great powers. 74. He who practises this daily according to the instructions of his Guru does not lose semen, were he to enjoy a hundred women at a time. 75. O PARVATI ! When vindu-siddhi is obtained, what else cannot be acc…

…ove, Habib my lover hangs ; his podex is the jasmine-jar ; His lips are softly closed on mine, one long unfa- thomable kiss. All, all is rapture ; who would shift one inch all mystery to disclose ? A fool is he who queries Quid ? till baffled by the question Quis ?5

Pious folk — Wahhabi [Persian text] the Mus- lim strictarians. 2. Obscure. I doubt if the Q’uran forbids sodo- my. See Q’uran XV, where the fault of the people appears to be their breach of hospitality, always a stigma in primitive communities. The Bible is just as broadminded on the point, both in the Story of

… Allah blazes brighter than the noon ; No water stains His spotless unity. His love once hold thee, He will never loose ; But shake with rapture to the utmost “ I ” ; The perfume of His love is wonderful, And tender is He as a virgin’s eye, While for His beauty are no words of earth, Nor can the heavens this need with song supply.]3 So thou with Allah, man ! hold Him as dear (Nay, dearer !) as the apple of thine eye.

98 The Atheist. XXV THE ATHEIST Nor thou, Habib, nor I are glad when rosy limbs and swart entwine ; But rapture drowns the sense and self, the wine the drawer of the wine, And Him that planted first the grape1— o podex2, in thy vault there dwells A charm to make the member mad, And shake the marrow of the spine. O member, in thy stubborn strength a power avails on podex-sense To boil the blood in breast and brain ; shudder the nerves incarnadine !3 From me thou drawest pearly drink — and in its pourings both are drunk. The Imam4 drives forth th…

We shall not know if thee I sodomize, Or if thou sodomizest me, my dear !

The relations between the twins of rapture. 137 XL THE NAMINGS1 [persian] Alif This member of mine is compassionate and mer- ciful unto thy podex, of which he is king, greater than two-hoared Alexander,2 assuaging its desire. Holy is this member and bringeth peace to thy podex ; to him thou art faithful, like a child to its mother’s breast, assuaging thy desire. Terrible is my member to thy podex, causing him to tremble, but also he is dear ; strong he is and proud, like a peacock spreading his splendour in the sun, assuaging thy desire. [persi…

…kes no difference, therefore, to me. In the same way, whether Allah be or be not is little odds so long as His devotees enjoy the mystic rapture.2 Yet as the podex of Aziz is inferior to thy podex,3 both because it has two fistulae, and because it lacks thy heat, dryness, and tightness, so also is the god of the Christians inferior to Allah, both be- cause he has two cogods, and because he hath nei- ther the power, the wisdom, not the compassion of Him who is alone and without equal, son or com- panion.4 Whether He exist or no, whether He love …

This verse (says Mahbub) conceals a “ Great Word to become mad, and go about naked ” if re- peated 1001 times nightly for a number of nights not stated. Very probable. The concealed Word is only the common : [Persian text] “ Glory to God and Praise to God ! There is no God but God. Great is He, and protecteth us ; there is no might save in Him, the Exa…

[persian] Gim My member supporteth thy podex as a rose-tree its flower ; all night long it humbleth and exalteth itself, like the moon, assuaging thy desire. My member cherisheth thy podex, drawing it close ; and hateth it, pressing it away, it heareth all the petition of thy podex, like a maiden enrap- tured by a lute, assuaging thy desire. My member seeth all podices, and judgeth that thy podex alone is beautiful ; just is he therein, and consoleth it with pearly dew, brighter than the eye of a …

But this was rather an effect of the Brahminical (or post-Fichtean) metaphysic, in which an Absolute is reached by denying to it all possible predicates as thinkable and therefore derogatory. Even when one retorted, “ He is then Unthinkable ” the wary Rabbi would reply, “ Neither Thinkable nor Un- thinkable.” You can’t win ; but you don’t want to play any more ! All this is far, far indeed from the true pr…

…y in modern times has dared to voice openly the supreme sanity, the splendid athletic- ism, and the unutterable spirituality of the male rapture of the passion between man and man. In treating of this matter I must first premise that by paederasty I mean actual sodomy as de- fined by British law1 — immissio penis in corpus vivum. “ Arse makes life golden, want of it dull yellow ; The rest is only leather and prunella.” At least, the rest is but preliminaires. An acute observer of my acquaintance remarked to me re- cently that it was the actual …
