That is not seeing, but the light That secretly is kindled, Though oft time its most holy fire Lacks oil, whene’er my own Desire Before desire has dwindled. I see the thin web binding me With thirteen cords of unity Toward the calm centre of the sea. (O thou supernal mother !) The triple light my path divides To twain and fifty sudden sides Each perfect as each other. Now backwards, inwards still my mind Must track the intangible and blind, And seeking, shall securely find Hidden in secret places Fresh feasts for every soul that strives, New li…

The nameless fear for self, far hurled By death to dissolution vile, Fades as the royal truth is known: Though change and sorrow range and roll, There is no self—there is no soul! XII. As man, a primate risen high Above his fellows, work thou well! As man, an incident minute And dim in time’s eternity, Work well! As man, no toy for hell And heaven to wrangle for, be mute! Let empty speculation stir The idle fool, the craven cur! XIII. Myself being idle for an hour I dare one thing to speculate: Namely, that life hath cusps yet higher On this ou…

76 The Law is for All The second paragraph is perhaps in answer to some unspoken thought of my own that my work was accomplished. No: though I be “of the princes” with the right to enter into my reward, it is my destiny to continue my Work.1 1 “assuage thee”: satisfy thine aspiration to attainment, “absolve thee”: relieve thee from further duty. 54. Change not as much as the style of a letter; for behold! thou, o prophet, shalt not behold all these mysteries hidden therein. Commentary: The subject changes most abruptly, perhaps answering some u…

56 ORACLES Though the earth be disparted and rended, Thus only the great peaks change That their image is moulded and blended Into all that a fancy may range ; And the silence my song could refigure To the note of a bird did I will, Of glory or rigour, of passion or vigour— The change were to ill! For silence is better than singing Though a Shelley wove songs in the sky, And hovering is sweeter than winging; To live is less good than to die. The secret of secrets is hidden Not in lives nor in loves, but in wills That are free and unchidden, tha…

…y lips relax and fade, Her body slackens with a sigh Reluctant, like a maid. I said : O vampire Lover, weep, Who cannot follow me above, Though Death may masquerade as Sleep, And Lust laugh out like Love. But God’s strong arms set under me Lifted my spirit through the air Beyond the wide supernal sea, Beyond the veil of vair. God said : My ways are sweet and deep ; The sceptres and the swords thereof Change : for Death’s face is fair as Sleep ; And Lust is clean as Love. I slept upon His breast ; and Death Came like Sleep’s angel, and I died, A…

Every time I looked over my shoulder he was there, though he was very quick at dodging back round the corner or into a doorway. ... Peter has been very preoccupied for some time. He writes out telegrams on forms, and then tears them up; and then he seems to think that isn’t safe, and picks the pieces up and burns them. I asked him about it; but he would say nothing, and got very angry. | I think I know what it is, though. I found a sheet of paper which he had …

…a Word; This All, this Sire and Lord of All, abides Behind the unbounded torrent of Its tides, [285] In silence of all deed, or word, or thought, So that we name It not, or name It Naught. This is the Truth behind the lie called God; This blots the heavens, and indwells the clod. This is the centre of all spheres, the flame In men and stars, the Soul behind the name, The spring of Life, the axle of the Wheel, All-mover, yet the One Thing immobile. Adore It not, for It adoreth thee, The shadow-shape of Its eternity. Lift up thyself! be strong to…

106 The lady previously mentioned was now made happy as a result of the fortnight we had spent together in Paris. I therefore thought it my duty to take care of her until the following spring. The fulfilment of her hopes would end my responsibility before the beginning of my Operation. I had asked Jones to come and stay with me during the sic months, in view of the dangers and interference already experienced at the mere threat to perform it. It was obviously the part of prudence to have, if possible, an initiated on the spot. It is also very a…

The racing lustres of your hair Spelt out its sunny message, though The room was dusk : a rosy glow Shed from an antique lamp to fall On the deep crimson of the wall, And over all the ancient grace Of shawls, and ivory, and gems To cast its glamour, till your face The eye might fall upon and rest, The temperate flower, the tropic stems. You were silent, and I too. Caressed The secret flames that curled around Our subtle intercourse. Profound, Unmoved, delighting utterly, So sat, so sit, my love and I. But…
