The Mystic the true support of all religion. 95 7. This is a very profane jest. Ostensibly, of course, the verse means that mystics are the salt of the faith. But Islam means “ resignation ” or “ submission.” In wooing a lover your conquest is his ubmission, and your penis widens out his anus. The old sodomite is as keen to promulgate his vice as his religion, the dog !
… OF THE MANY HAPPY HOURS THAT WE HAVE SPENT TOGETHER IN THE SCENTED GARDEN “ ALAIN LUTIY ” TO THE MEMORY OF MY COLLEAGUE “ ALAIN LUTIY ” TRUE FRIEND, POLISHED SCHOLAR, GOOD SPORTSMAN, GALLANT SOLDIER, AND CIVIL GALLANT, I WHO HAVE DONE SO LITTLE TO COMPLETE HIS LABOURS DEDICATE MY SHARE THEREIN ON THIS OCCASION OF OFFERING THEIR RESULT TO THE WORLD.
…well at Mecca. Its waters are excessively foul, and even the most devout make a wry face when drinking them. 2. Jasmine podex — surely a true perversion of sense ! Yet the adjective is as invariable as pius for Aeneas and fidus for Achates. 3. Fatihah, the first chapter of the Q’uran. To recite it 1,000 times nightly causes one to become a great Sheikh. 4. Surely Oriental exaggeration. A. L. (Not at all. I do not think that El Haji necessarily means separate and distinct emissions ; he may mean thrusts. Now even the uneducated Briton, with a li…
…rch ” as Spurgeon said. Howev- er devoted one may be to vice, sooner or later it tires and gives no more pleasure. The same is of course true of virtue ; but, to the mystic, virtue, as such, is itself vice. Cf. “ All your righteousness is as filthy rags.” 5. Shahrava. A king who forced a leather cur- rency on his subjects. Dildos in Persia being usually made of leather, the jest is double- edged. To present a dildo, or anything which might by any possibility be used as such, to a courtesan is a deadly insult, implying “ You cannot attract a liv…
The Mystic the true support of all religion. 93 XXIII MIRRIKH1 Like Mars, red planet of the evening, Rising o’er breasts of tender earth in spring, So gleams thy podex, beautiful Habib, My brother and my lover and my king ! For Mars is like a rose and ball of fire2 ; For Mars is like a serpent with its sting. There is a pain, an ecstasy, a woe, A joy, athrob within the wondrous thing. The dull and boneless devotees of twat— Leave them to grovel ; we are well a-wing. Yet twitch that podex, like the wandering way Of Mars within the everlasting ri…
… argument in a circle.” 7. A very profound allegory. Laila being the Jinn, this passage means that since the revelation of the Method of true communion between man and God, magic or dealing with Jinn should be left to Jews (and other heathen), stigmatized as goat- faced because of their materialistic or gross views of the universe. The Haji was however accused of Christianizing tendencies on account of this pas- sage, since Christians repressed magic so severely, and in spite of his stout denials. To this day many singer “ mak’ siccar ” of the …
…nnot 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 dotard, so that the orthodox of Shiraz may speak of the beau- ty and chastity of Habib, the piety of El Qahar, and of the great wisdom and tunefulness of his songs.3 1. These similes are very affected. 2. Dinar — a gold coin worth about 10/- 3. Evidently the reviewer is as old as the w…
…pe) stands on a stool, and swings her to and fro, catching her vulva from be- hind on his penis. This is continued until emis- sion. The true sportsman refrains from guiding ei- ther the lady or his penis with his hands. The length of the swing should not be less than 4 or 5 feet ; under these rules the game is excel- lent. With a boy it would however be incomparably more difficult, if not impossible. The text suggests though that the boy is fixed, while the man swings. This should be easier of execution.
…, thy curv- ing feet, like the tusks of a young elephant. But no crone in Shiraz can seduce thee, O vir- tuous one ! Thou openest, it is true, thy podex, which appears like the sun through a dissolving mist upon Friday,4 but it is only to admit the dra- gon of El Qahar. Then there is an eclipse5 of all things : Allah is the uniter.6 1. About as vague a personage as we find in Mandeville, Malory, or Moore. It is a curious lite- rary phenomenon that in all countries poets will talk about “ Cashmere ” and “ Cathay ” and so on without the smallest …
The Results of Sin. 57 wineskin ; in three years thou wilt be as foul as thy Nubian. Come into my garden, boy ! with true love and pure, with open air and swift riding thou mayest regain thy beauty. Then wilt thou be grateful to El Qahar, and faithful, if thou canst be faithful. The camel that hath learnt to bite furiously8 — only Allah and the muzzle9 avail. 1. [Persian text] : Hakim — doctor, not to be confused with [Persian text] Hakim — official. 2. Wolf’s Tail — the false dawn or Zodiacal Light. 3. One M.S. omits the sentence, and finishes…
…nis which results from the operation predisposes to sodomy, inasmuch as a greater intensity of friction is required to produce emission. True, but a moist and flabby vulva of gigantic size is poor fun for anybody. Undoubted- ly, a hardened tool does (in mathematical lan- guage) “ flatten the curve ” of rising excitement, and this is the secret alike of giving and receiving plea- sure. The Hindu bayadere compares the average Sahib to a village cock, and the passionate En- glishwoman jeers at her brutal and hasty husband for his “ two-puffs-and-a…
…eration. 15. After all this mere envy must drive us to as- sume a mystical sense for these writings. 16. Hua — He. But it is further the true and secret unpronounceable Name of God, concealed by its obviousness. The 100th name, about which people make such a fuss, is simply Allah [Persian text] itself, the other 99 merely replacing Allah in the sentence Hua Allahu alazi wailaha illa Hua, thus : Hua Arrahmanu alazi etc., and so for the rest. How [Persian text] came to mean God ([Per- sian text] the God) is a question for the profoundest scholars…
94 The Mystic the true support of all religion. So, seeing man beloved of Allah, jinn Aim at that bliss ; their crowns and jewels fling From star to star before the crystal throne, And El Islam goes ever widening.7 To Allah praise ! and El Qahar his slave Taketh reward in offering thanksgiving. 1. Mirrikh. Mars the planet. 2. I have often seen Mars — in the Red Sea es- pecially — with its apparent diameter something like a quarter that of the moon, and its brightness sufficient to wake me, who am the soundest of sleepers. Thus seen for the firs…
…eply, “ 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 practical Qabalah, which contents itself with leading the student to the next stage, which teaches the ani- mal to think, the thinker to aspire, the aspirant to wisdom, and crowneth the wise man with the glory of the 12 Stars, his holy Genius. Not that it is for a mere dabbler like myself to suggest to others even a line of research ; but love conquers modesty, and I should like to hint that in the restor…
…West shall fade into the blue of the whole sky, and the blue be illumined by the streamers of the false dawn, which is like death as the true dawn is like the last day.7 I hope, Habib, that thy podex is ca- pable of severe combat ; for not until the dawn breaks will El Qahar withdraw his member. 1. So our best M.S. [Persian text] But [Persian text] flesh — meaning buttocks — sounds more likely. Consideration of prosody support the text. 2. Meteor-struck : meteors are the stones flung by the angels at the Jinn who pry into Heaven. This epithet c…
…central thought of these two chapters is represented in the Buddhist philosophy, per- haps ; but in the Hindu practice, certainly. It is true that the Hindu claims the extinction of self in Parabrahm (Jivatma in Paramatma) as the pheno- menon in question ; but this is clearly a petitio principii, since we can always retort that any per- ception however glorious is less than the brain which perceives it. The Hindu would (idly) retort that this perception was not the phenomenon, but only one’s very partial and imperfect memory the- reof. And the …
…irst sight an obvious misreading. But (if you please) Mahbub says : “ When a boy opens his podex, the hairs depart one from another like true believers quitting the mosque on Friday. [Persian text] (mist) also means a worm in Arabic and the passage implies that all Arabs have tape-worms ! ” As is well known, they pay re- spect to Abu Bekr and Omar, and make things very hot for the ’Arami every year at Mecca. The dragon is of course the universal one ; Rahu in India ; Caput Draconis and Cauda Draconis in the West, famed in Astrology as the power…
