The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

…ration of the world. And the beautiful form will remain inseparable from the true idea, as the body will one day be inseparable from the soul, when the soul, come to its own power, will have made itself a body in its own image. That will be the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth, and the body will be the temple of the soul, as the regenerated universe will be the body of God. And bodies and souls, and form and thought, and the whole universe, will be the light, the word, and the permanent and visible revelation of God. Amen. So be it. 1 It is amusing…

The Winged Beetle

…ace by pace ! Mystic flashes swing and trace Velvet soft the sigils stepped By the silver-starred adept. Back and front, and to and fro, Soul and body sway and flow In vertiginous caresses To imponderable recesses, Till at last the spell is woven, And the faery veil is cloven That was Sequence, Space, and Stress Of the soul-sick consciousness.

The Argonauts

…heir love abides That passes not beneath their tides, And whoso bathes in light of theirs, And water, changes unawares To be no separate soul, but be Himself the moon and sea. Not all the wealth that flowers shed, And sacred streams, on that calm head; Not all the earth’s spell-weaving dream And scent of new-turned earth shall seem Again indeed his mother’s breast To breathe like sleep and give him rest ; He lives or dies in subtler swoon Between the sea and moon. So standing, gliding, undeterred By any her alluring word That calls from older f…

Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

Aelfrida Tillyard . Now as I stand above thy flowing tide I see a Spanish galleon take the bay So come my dreams upon my soul a- ride , As waves are ridden by the tossing spray . O sea , O mountains , make my song to be Mist of the mountains , foam of the sea . The sea grows leaden as the sun goes down , The mountains shudder forth their breath in mist , But the highest hill - crest wears a golden crown , So crowned are men who to their dreams may list . O sea , O mountains , make my song to be Mist of the mountains , foam of the sea . O wester…

The soul of the earth, prisoner of the fatal laws of gravitation, frees itself by specializing itself, and passes through the instinct of animals to arrive at the intelligence of man. The active portion of this will is dumb, but it preserves in writing the secrets of Nature. The free part can no longer read this fatal writing without instantaneously losing its liberty.…

The Winged Beetle

…IGHT and alive is the holiest flame. Leap out, O ye sparks, at the half-hidden name For ever my glory, for ever my shame ! Rejoice, O my soul, if his happiness hear ! Exalt thee, my joy, if the spell shall uprear Delight in my dream, in the dream of my dear. By passion and clamour the music is vain. Resurges the stridence, insists it is pain ; Until, at the last, all the puzzle is plain. Cry out on Apollo ; he laughs at the whine. Evoke we a soul nor of man nor divine Deep-throned in a darker, unspeakable shrine. O beautiful, beautiful ! light …

…un, broken up by the lips of the water into countless glittering stars—abounding, revolving, whirling forth, crying aloud—for He whom my soul seeketh is not in these. Nor is He in the fountain, eternally as it jets and falls in brilliance of dew; for I desire the Dew Supernal. Nor is He in the still depths of the water; their lips do not meet His. Nor—O my soul l—is He anywhere to be found in thy secret caverns, unluminous, formless, and void, where I wander seeking Him—or seeking rest from that Searchl Ο my soul l—lift thyself up; play the man…

IMAGES OF LIFE 89 XV. Thereis no soul. See yonder gleams the starry shoal Of orbs incalculably vast. They are not present: they are past, Since the long march of shuddering light Made years the servants of its might. There is no soul. A. These stars thou seest Are but the figuring of thy brain. NV. Then of all things the soul were freest. 4. Move then the centre of thy pain ! NV. ’Tis done, A, A trick to cheat a child. NV. Itis the truth that I am nought.

…eirs was sweet, MEDEA. Thine therefore should be sweeter. ORPHEUS., The Gods grant it ! Lift up this love of peace and bliss, The starry soul of wine, Destruction’s formidable kiss, The lamp of the divine : This shadow of a nobler name Whose life is strife, whose soul is fame ! I rather will exalt the soul Of man to loftier height, And kindle at a livelier coal The subtler soul of Light. From these soft splendours ofa dream T turn, and seek the Self supreme. This world is shadow-shapen of The bitterness of pain. Vain are the little lamps of ilo…

…r misery. Dull as the day is, in my heart I feel An anguish, chill and adamant as steel, And, like a mist of poison, heavily On my whole soul, bound down upon the wheel, _ There comes a spectre, dead, whose name is Fear. Ah God, he comes so near! In the pale fear of Death I have no share. I am through Love triumphant over him ; I almost yearn toward the stooping brim, And fledge the wings my soul is given to wear, And float in sunlight to the dome above, Clothed in the light of everlasting Love, Till an archangel from the golden stair Trumpet m…
