…pon me, and the sting Of my discrownéd forehead. I shall die Ifaving this proof of my own nobleness To soothe the rancour of my stricken soul In the abodes of night, that I have dared, With the first knowledge to make good my spirit Against its fate, to steel my flinching heart Against all men, dominions, shapes, and powers, Seen and unseen, to justice and to truth, Sought out by desolate ways of hateful deeds, And so set free myself from my own fate, Whom I will smite to end the coil of things Here, to begin—what life? lor Life I know Stands l…

Angel. Moreover, it is to abandon the only person who really knows, and really cares, in favour of one who by the nature of the case, must be ignorant1 of the essence of the matter — one whose interest in it is no more (at the best) than that of a well- meaning stranger. It should go without saying that until the Magician has attained to the Knowledge and Conversation of his Holy Guardian Angel he is liable to endless déceptions. He does not know Himself; how can he explain his business to others ? How can those others, though they do their bes…

THE EQUINOX Light of Occult Science leading the way. This light of the Kerux is to show that the Higher Soul is not the only Divine Light, but rather a spark from the Infinite Flame. After the Kerux comes the Hegemon, the translator of the Higher Self, leading the Candidate, then the Stolistes and Dadouchos. Once they pass round the temple in solemn procession: it is the foundation in Darkness of the Binah angle of the whole Triangle of the Ineffable Light. The Hierophant knocks once as they pass him, and the Hiereus does likewise, as the affir…

… as man is capable; and one could read the judicial habit on his deep wide brows. Against this one could see the huge force of the man's soul, the passionate desire for knowledge which burnt in that great brain. One could conceive him capable of monstrous deeds, for he would let no man, no prejudice of men, stand in his way. He would certainly have fiddled while Rome was burning if it had been his hobby to play the violin. This man was the mainstay of the Society for Psychical Research. He was the only absolutely competent man in it, perhaps; a…

They took human shape, and she was amazed to see among them the faces of many of the great men of the race. There was one very curious feature about the space in which this vision took place: this, that innumerable beings could occupy it at once, yet each one remain distinct from all the rest as the attention happened to focus it. But it was no question of di…

… the Terrace of the Moon; and most of her waking hours were spent there, drinking milk, and munching creams flavoured with angelica. Her soul seemed utterly attracted to the moon. She held out her body to it like an offering. Just before the new moon of February, Abdul Bey, before leaving Naples, determined to seek a last sight of his adored Lisa. He had found her easily, and was amazed at the physical changes in her. They increased his passion beyond all measure, for she was now the very ideal of any Turkish lover. She appeared hardly consciou…

THE vault of purple that I strove To pierce, and find unchanging love, Or some vast countenance! above All glory of the soul of man, Baffled my blind aspiring gaze With sunlight’s melancholy rays, And closed with iron hand the ways That sunder space, divide the days with fiery fan. Thine was the forehead mild and grave That shone throughout the azure nave Where Monte Rosa’s silence gave The starry organ’s measured sound. Where for an altar stood the bare Mass of Mont Cervin,” towering there; And angels dwelt upon the stair, And…

ELEAZAR, Nay, for a man’s sure purpose is of Gad. CHORUS. The large pale limbs of the earth are tanned With the sun and the sea and the yellow sand ; And the face of earth is dark with love Of the lords of hell and the spirits above That move in the foggy air of night, And t…
