Chesterton must have made tens of thousands of pounds out of it!) Think of "let," meaning both to prevent and to allow. Think of "check" to a chess-player, a banker, a draper , a waitress, a fox-hunter, and a Slovak!

Fierce love flames up, then sinks in eddying gloom Across the waves Whose awful stillness are lovers graves, Who chant in fearful melody the staves Of bitter doom. Not unperceived of Cypris did her song Die fitfully…

Crowley himself would have been the first to admit this, though he has often admitted that he was altogether incapable of editing his own material. The only thing ever to issue from his pen which he demanded must never be edited was a group of select writings called The Holy Books. and above all, The Book of the Law.

It is when one reaches this plane that the apparently contradictory forms of the Great Work, Magick and Yoga, begin to converge, though even earlier in the course of the work it must have been noticed that achievements in Yoga have been of great assistance to magical operations , and that many of the mental states necessary to the development of the Magician are identical with those attained in the course of the strictly technical Yogic operations.
