…his ! Unless my Alice be the kiss. No blade of grass awaiting takes The dew fresh-fallen above, Because my lover swoons, and slakes Her bodys thirst of love. This night no dewfall from the blue ! Unless my Alice be the dew. This night O never dawn shall crest The world of wakening, Because my lover has my breast On hers for dawn and spring. This night shall never be withdrawn Unless my Alice be the dawn.
… The torrent of his being breaks. The Beast is gone: the hero slips Down to the valley: he forsakes The fond idea (every bone In all his body burns and aches) By speed to attain the dear Unknown, By force to achieve the great Beyond. Yet from that brain may spring full-grown Another folly just as fond. 51
…can also introduce the idea of an angle. 10. A fourth point, provided that it is not in the original plane, gives us the idea of a solid body. But, as before, it tells us nothing about the solid body as such, because there is no other solid body with which to compare it. We find also that it is not really a solid body at all as it stands, because it is merely an instantaneous kind of illusion. We cannot observe, or even imagine, anything, unless we have time for the purpose. 11. What, then is time? It is a phantasm, exactly as tenuous as space,…
…the art to evoke delicious hours And live my past again between thy knees ; Why should I seek thy beautys languorous dowers Save in thy bodys passion, thine hearts ease I have the art to evoke delicious hours. These vows, these scents, these kisses infinite Shall be reborn from gulfs we may not sound, So scale the sky, young suns, in choral flight, Winged from their lustral lapse in seas profound ! O vows ! O scents ! O kisses infinite !
…religious gloom Invoke the light divine As, Mary, in Thy blessed womb GOD made the Daystar shine. This common fruit of earth Be made the Body of grace Even as the flesh by Jesu’s birth Was holy for a space. All things by heavenly power To that redemption come Equal before Thee in the hour Of joy or martyrdom. Amen. A 58
…uide and thy true Self, the Watcher and the silent Thinker, the victim of thy lower Self. Thy Soul cannot be hurt but through thy erring body; con- trol and master both, and thou art safe when crossing to the nearing “Gate of Balance.” Here we have Alaya identified with Atma. The rest of the verse is mostly poetic nothing, and there is no guide to the meaning of the word “Soul.” It is a perfectly absurd theory to regard the body as capable of inflicting wounds upon the Soul, which is apparently the meaning here. The definition of Atma gives imp…

…when we lose the cherished present , that it looms up through the mist of time as a glorious past ; and it is only when we have lost the body of corruption , that its soul rises sublime purifying all ; our personality purified by death the great Time Soul lies cradled in our own as the four lips of two lovers are in their bridal kiss . Alone by trampling life's grapes do we gain the vintage of the Soul , the Medean draught of rejuvenescence . The whole of this wonderful philosophy the poet sums up in the following two verses of extraordinary an…
…force of the waves. 38. There is also an harper of gold, playing infinite tunes. 39. Then the dolphin delighted therein, and put off his body, and became a bird. 40. The harper also laid aside his harp, and played in- finite tunes upon the Pan-pipe. 41. Then the bird desired exceedingly this bliss, and laying down its wings became a faun of the forest. 42. The harper also laid down his Pan-pipe, and with the human voice sang his infinite tunes. 43. Then the faun was enraptured, and followed far; at last the harper was silent, and the faun becam…
…ctrine of résurrection as vulgarly understood is false and absurd. It is not even “Scriptural”. St. Paul does not identify the glorified body which rises with the mortal body which dies. On the contrary, he repeatedly insists on the distinction. The same is true of a magical ceremony. The magician who is destroyed by absorption in the Godhead is really destroyed. The I. There is a quite different formula in which I is the Father, O the Mother, A the child — and yet another, in which I. A. O. are ail fathers of different kir.ds balanced by H. H.…
…ut it; for our ethics themselves will naturally dépend upon our theory of the universe. If we were quite certain, for example, that everybody went to heaven when he died, there could be no serious objection to murder or suicide, as it is generally conceded—by those who know neither — that earth is not such a pleasant place as heaven. However, there is a mystery concealed in this theory of the bloody sacrifice which is of great importance to the student, and we therefore make no further apology. We should not hâve made even this apology for an a…
…onsidered by right Under- standing, this is to deny that there is anything imaginable or unimaginable which doth not exist. That is, the Body of Our Lady Nuith hath no Limit, and there is no void that She filleth not with the Variety and Beauty of Her Stars in Her Space. Nor is there any one Law of her Nature, but in Her are all Laws, so that each Thing or each Truth that thou perceiveth is as it were one Gesture of Her Dance. Shut up the Book of thy Questions, o my Son, concerning nature, Her Way, Her Origin, or Her Purpose, except in those Ma…
80 SIR PALAMEDES, THE SARACEN KNIGHT White as a corpse, the hero hails The dawn, that night of fear still shaking His body. All death’s doubt assails Him. Was it sleep or was it waking? “ By God, I care not, I!” (quod he). “Or wake or sleep, or live or dead, I will pursue this mystery. So help me Grace of Godlihead!” Ay! with thy wasted limbs pursue That subtle Beast home to his den! Who knows but thou mayst win athrough, Sir Palamede the Saracen?

82 THE WORLD’S TRAGEDY. GOVINDA The sweat is on thy forehead like bright stars Amid the milk of the great galaxy. CHAU Thy body gapes like a valley of deodars Between two snowy hills in Tartary. ALEXANDER Ho ! Ho ! a million rats Herald the brat’s First yelp. A vast company of rats issue from her, and rush squeaking into the darkness. MIRIAM God be mine help !

… to shrivel or decay. 10. Practice will make the student infinitely wary in these matters. 11. It is usually quite easy to return to the body, but should any difficulty arise, practice (again) will make the imagination fertile. For example, one may create in thought a chariot of fire with white horses, and command the charioteer to drive earthwards. It might be dangerous to go too far, or stay too long ; for fatigue must be avoided. The danger spoken of is that of fainting, or of obsession, or of loss of memory or other mental faculty. 12. Fina…

OR, THE ANGEL OF VENICE 11 Aches for thy sound and sight, for breast and body yearns What purple wraps me round in its imperial fold But thy bright body, wound about this breast of gold ? The night is hot. Nights dome is widowed of the wind. I choke. I dare not come. I am broken up and blind With passion. Bring the gondola ! Off Lidos strand Let me adore you on the water. ORLANDO. Ah ! the land Is an unworthy soul to excite our ecstasy, Whose billows rise and roll and tumble like the sea. Lo ! heaven is scarred across by the first moonray ! […
…nor be standing in this circle on the square of Tiphereth, armed with his Wand and Cup; but let him perform the Ritual throughout in his Body of Light. He may burn the Cakes of Light, or the Incense of Abramelin; he may be prepared by Liber CLXXV, the reading of Liber LXV, and by the practices of Yoga. He may invoke HADIT by awine and strange drugs5’ if he so will. 1 He préparés the circle by the usual formulæ of Banishing and Consécration, etc. He recites Section A as a rehearsal before His Holy Guardian Angel of the attributes of that Angel. …
… the parents of Marriage and Law , but not even the menials of Freedom and Free Love . We clung still closer , till the soul ran through Body to body , twined like sunny snakes , Sinlessly knowing we were man and wife.2 Alice , still fearful , foresees the end ; such love as theirs is too supernal to be platonic ; she flies in vain ; for she has to console her sad lover with the truth . The storm - clouds gather on the twenty - fifth day : Mouth unto mouth ! O fairest ! mutely lying , Fire lambent laid on water , -0 ! the pain ! Kiss me , O hea…
