Aleister Crowley . Far above Space and Time that earth environ With bands and bars we strive against in vain , Far o'er the world , and all its triple iron And brazen chain ; Far from the change that men call life ; fled higher Into the world immutable of sleep , We see our loved one , and vain eyes desire In vain to weep . Woeful our gaze , if on lone Earth descendent , To view the absence of yon flame afar Yet in the Heavens , anew , divine , resplendent , Behold a star ! One light the less , that steady flamed and even Amid the dusk of Earth…

Harold Monro . Joseph (quickly ) Glory to His Name, Which Heaven and earth eternally adore , Who was, and is, and shall be evermore ! He made thy body , and He made thy soul: He is Jehovah , everlasting Lord , And while eternal ages onward roll Creation shall be subject to His word . Thee , thou profane , thou double -damned leech , He had confounded in thy godless mirth , But that His unimagined mercies reach From earth to Heaven and from Heaven to earth . He is the all in all, the first and last ; In Him the beginning and the end unite ; He i…

…od lifts to -night the moon 's pale ghost To make old blessings new . A thousand fire- flies star His way , A thousand candle - lights ; Earth lit by other every day Can light her Lord at nights . Tall palms rear stately heads to grace The coming of the King , Incense to smoke before his face A thousand flowers bring . And all the world , as Eden was , Is hushed in holy fear , Only small creatures shrill because God holds them very dear . For earth 's an altar ; Golgotha Forbids to flee the name ; And sad man wandering very far Finds still the …

…as asleep ; you and I were awake. Slowly the children crept to rest in the shadowy bushes, Slowly still the sun rose in the vacuous sky. Earth and air and our souls were faint in the heat of the noonday ; Slower and yet more slow moved your hand in my hair . Time stood still and the sun had paused his path in the heavens , Not a breath in the air ruffled the leaves of the bush . Even our hearts were still and the restless swarm of our kisses Paused and abandoned their flight resting yet on our lips . Yet , as a man in a swoon sees heaven and ea…

…gh the vision of clouds rifted , Soars quick and clear . We know the dance that hails the golden pinions The sun waves over an awakening earth ; We know the joy that floods the heart 's dominions At true love 's birth . Even so, the mists that roll o' er earth are riven , The spirit flashes forth from mortal sight , And , flaming through the viewless space , is given A robe of light . As when the conqueror Christ burst forth of prison And triumph woke the thunder of the spheres , So broke the soul , as newly re - arisen Beyond the years . 57

H . O . Meredith . So earth and God, man's parents twain , Of diverse nature intertwined , In flesh of man, and in man 's brain Symbol of mystic wedlock find . Earth for the service of her King Does on a radiant purity , Deep to her centre passioning Mother and nurse of man to be, And all the soul of God is great With transport unimaginable , He thrills , he trembles , to create Man that has mind to praise him well .” VI . “ There is a chaos throned above the throne Law is the servant of no destiny : Law is a shadow thrown From shapes of things…

… rooted in the ground , Whose mind , yet , reaching up the sky Far beyond scope of light or sound Commerces with infinity . Child of the earth , man loves the womb That bore , the breasts that gave him food : Nor all too much resents the doom Which brings to dust earth 's myriad brood . Yet child of God , man greatly shares Each thought each passion of his sire , And all the brash of earthly cares Consumes in elemental fire . 118

…By the slopes of timber, Rough roads shall quake To the guns in limber. Ere the leaf shall fall, Ere the dark woods lighten , At the red earth 's call Brave bones shall whiten . And many a lass Shall wait her lover, Cold in the grass Where the vultures hover .

Constantine Michaelides . Yet light as maidens in a flower starred -dell They plunged their gnarled hands in the moss-hushed earth And spread their branches each to each in dance As of a host enchanted , seeming still To taunt with strange expectancy of life And foil with runic mystery of trees . Wild beasts Aled to the forest glades , whose peace Seemed as a haven on a cliff-bound coast, Smiling a sunlit smile within the rift Of sombre leaf -surged beeches , or of pines Stern -trunked and straight as spears of ancient work , Sky-piercing , gro…

… CHRYSANTHEMUMS AT NIGHT. IIKE balls of snow , - In the dark of the year The white chrysanthemums Appear . Like balls of snow , When the earth 's a-cold The white chrysanthemums Unfold . Like balls of snow , In a winter 's morn The white chrysanthemums Are born . Like balls of snow , In the garden gloom The white chysanthemums Out- loom . Like balls of snow , From dusk till dawn , Still as tapers they glow , Flooding light on the lawn .

And down in the plain , Where the earth lies under Vineyard and grain , Grey guns shall thunder . And many a lad Streets gay with bunting Shall go forth glad , As a hound to the hunting . Shall leave the land And the plough - team 's labour , And take to his hand White lance and sabre .

…, save for pain . And the weary , changeless sea With spiritless white foam Lies level as a lea Under the empty dome : No life on sea or earth ; A cold , slow dearth . But the swallows cry in the rain , And a gull that floats on the sea , Cries out and cries out again , In listless monotony . And the wind cries and cries , And never dies . 153

…eau as of lost desire , a dream That melts from gold to gray : a soft breeze blew Across the brow of waking night, and dew Re-bathes the earth that grows a fading gleam . The sleepy river ripples , ripples ever Betwixt the old brown wall and meadows trim ; The tideless song of Never , Never , Never Lulls the wet woods , and ever growing dim The fields are grey with mist , and slip away Into the darkness with the dying day . 147

Constantine Michaelides. And we who live in the loud age of steam Are but the children still Of those who ploughed the earth with wooden share And ground the sunburnt grain With their own hand, or fought with simple Sword and shield . The din of men Who march , the vanguard of mankind to -day , Is far from you ; your home Is left untortured by the strife of souls A strife religion -born , For that blind change which we salute in faith As progress . Overbold Dictating wisdom to a silent God We grasp the wrist of Fate Immovable , and hearken not …

… sacred spirit of the Gods ! O triple tongue ! descend ; Lapping the answering flame that nods, Kissing the brows that bend, Uniting all earth 's periods To one exalted end ! Still on the mystic Tree of Life My soul is crucified ; Still strikes the sacrificial knife Where lurks some serpent - eyed Fear , passion , or man 's deadly wife Desire , the suicide ! Before me dwells the Holy One Anointed Beauty 's King ; Behind me , mightier than the Sun , To whom the cherubs sing , A strong archangel , known of none , Comes crowned and conquering . An…
