DE LEGE LIBELLVM infinite energy of the whole Universe is therein, what then is possible but that it return to its own First Intention, dissolv- ing itself little by little into that Light which is its most se- cret and most subtle Nature? For this Universe is in Truth Zero, being an equation whereof Zero is the sum. Whereof this is the proof, that if not, it would be unbalanced, and something would have come from Nothing, which is absurd. This Light or Noth- ing is then the Resultant or Totality thereof in pure Perfec- tion; and all other stat…

…hing any more. Now he stops playing and moves with his finger in the air. His finger leaves a trail of fire of every colour, so that the whole Aire is become like a web of mingled lights. But through it all drops dew. (I can’t describe these things at all. Dew doesn’t represent what I mean in the least. For instance, these drops of dew are enormous globes, shining like the full moon, only perfectly transparent, as well as perfectly luminous.) And now he shows the tablet again, and he says: As there are 49 letters in the tablet, so are there 49 …

Still we seek the dim ideal As the moth the star , How for women can we feel That our seekings bar ?

…d con- cise that I cannot refrain from giving my readers the pleasure of their perusal. “ This kind of composition corresponds, upon the whole, with the Ode of the Greeks and Romans, or the Sonetta of the Italians. The most common sub- jects of which it treats are, the beauty of a mi- stress, and the sufferings of the despairing lover from her absence or indifference. Frequently it treats of other matters, such as the delights of the season of Spring, the beauties of the flowers of the garden, and the tuneful notes of the nightingales as they w…

The centre and the whole. Fool's talk it is ! Consider the futility of mind ! Realize utterly how mean, how dull, How fruitless is Philosophy ! Elizabeth. Indeed My brain is baffled. But I see your point. Talking of God, even imagining. Insane! But for aspiring — that I will ! Tannhauser. That is true marriage, in my estimate. Aspire together to one Deity .-' Yes ! But to love thee otherwise than that ? Elizabeth. This one thing clearly do I understand : We shall not marry. It is well, my lord. Tannhauser. Miserable, miserable me ! I bring Hate…

…ERION is concealed, collecting his forces for a final blow. When The Book of the Law and its Comment is published with the forces of His whole Will in perfect obedience to the instructions which have up to now been misunderstood or neglected, the result will be incalculably effective . The event will establish the kingdom of the Crowned and Conquering Child over the whole earth, and all men shall bow to the Law, which is "love under will. " This should be plain enough, and satisfactory. However, I thought it was time to draw public attention to…

…is. I did not remember anything in detail. All events were so many base metals fused into an alloy whose name was Excitement. During the whole time we only slept once, and then we slept well and woke fresh, without one trace of fatigue. We had called on Gretel and obtained a supply of cocaine. She wouldn’t accept any money from her dear Sir Peter, and she was so happy to see Lou Lady Pendragon, and wouldn’t we come and see her after the honeymoon ? That call is the one thing that sticks in my mind. I suppose I realised obscurely somehow that th…

…inning become most serious obstacles later on. Another point is that quite unsuspected problems arise in the course of the training. The whole question of the sub-conscious mind can be dismissed almost as a joke by the average man as he goes about his daily business; it becomes a very real trouble when you discover that the tranquillity of the mind is being disturbed by a type of thought whose existence had previously been unsuspected, and whose source is unimaginable. Then again there is no perfection of materials; there will always be errors …

THE VISION AND THE VOICE She is weeping, weeping. And the tears grow and fill the whole stone with moons. I can see nothing and hear nothing for the tears, though she keeps on praying. ‘Take of these pearls, treasure them in thine heart. Is not the Kingdom of the Abyss accurst?” She points downward to the cauldron; and now in it there is the head of a most cruel dragon, black and corrupted. I watch, and watch; and nothing happens. And now the dragon rises out of the cauldron, very long and slim (like Japanese Dragons, but infinitely more terrib…

The sterile force of bronze and gold Bends to my passion, as it grips With feverish claws the metal cold, And burns upon the brazen lips That, parted like a poppy bud, Have gemméd curves like moons of blood.

Hail to the golden hair in golden showers Hiding the eyes like blue blue lotus-flowers ! His name is Ut, for He Hath risen above all things that be. II Ardent and white, the Lord Whirls forth a strident sword. Its blade is broader than the great World-Ash ; Its edge is keener than the lightning-flash. Brighter than all the lights of heaven, it whirls Out in a chaos of creative curls And sheathes itself i…

I might have got myself into a mood to laugh the whole thing off, as had so often happened before; and I realised for the first time the dreadful sinking of heart that comes from privation. It was only a hint of the horror so far. I had enough of the stuff in me to carry me through for a bit. But, even as…

Recent developments hâve enabled Him to correct these conditions, so that this Book (as now hnally revised for t…
