He locked the door carefully, sat down with his back to the light, and pulling the photograph from his pocket, indulged in a long voluptuous gloat.

THE STONE OF THE PHILOSOPHERS 105 I swear by their impending gleam, The Sierra’s snowy swords of light! By all the cruel and cold despair That Christ hath brought upon the land: By Mary and the false blind beastly Lies of the prudish and the priestly: By God and death and hate I swear That man shall rise, shall understand. I swear by this my lucid Eye, By all the freedom I have won, That men shall learn to love and doubt, Put faith and slavery to the rout, And eagle-pinioned even as I Soar to the splendour of the sun! All right! all right! said…

Hail unto thee who knowest not thy right nostril from thy left; for in the aeon of my Father there is neither life nor death. Hail unto thee who knowest not thy right ear from thy left; for in the aeon of my Father there is neither sound nor silence. Whoso hath power to break open this sapphire stone shall find therein four elephants having tusks of mother-of-pearl, and upon whose backs are castles, tho…

The flame feels not the process of the cleaning. “The branches of the tree are shaken by the wind; the trunk remains unmoved.” This verse again refers to the process of selection and elimination already described.

These little lovers strip their maidens bare, And find them—naked ! Poor and pitiful ! Look at our love instead! I raised Thy veil, Nay, tore Thy vesture from Thee, and behold ! Then only did I see what mystery, What ninefold forest, shade impassible, Surrounds Thy heart, as with a core of light Shut in the mystery of a dead world. Thou formless sen…

All hail to the Star of Delight That is tender and fervid and frail, and avails me aright! Hail to thee, symbol of love, assurance and promise of peace|! Stand fast in the skies above, till the skies are abolished and cease| And for me, may I never forget how things came well as they are| It was long I had wandered yet ere my eyes found out the star. Be silent, love, and abide; the wanton strings must go To the vain tumultuous tide of …

Finally, there was given unto him a certain exalted grade whereby a man becomes master of knowledge and intelligence, and no more their slave. He perceived the inadequacy of science, philosophy, and religion; and ex- posed the self-contradictory nature of the thinking fac- ulty. 19. Returning to England, he laid hi…
