Ambergris

…hip of a woman’s eyes, I look beyond the miserable whirls Of foolish measures woven in the skies ; Beyond the thoughtless stars : beyond God’s sleep : Beyond the deep : beneath the deadly deep ! Infinite rings of luminous ether move At first amid the blackness that I seek : Infinite motion and amazing love Deaden the lustre of the night. I speak The cry of silence, that is heard unspoken ; That, being heard, rings evermore unbroken. Silence, deep silence. Not a shudder stirs The vast demesne of unforgetful space, No comet’s lunatic rush ; no me…

60 The Reproaches of God. X. The Black Stone I have kissed the black stone of the Ka’abah,1 O Habib ! but a thousand times the black mole upon thy buttocks. I have seen a thousand men kiss the black stone of the Ka’abah ; but I hear that the pilgrims to thy house are even more numerous than the Hujjaj.2 Omar3 was an ass ; but he is buried—Allah curse him ! — at El Medinah ; only those with members like an ass find any permanent resting place in thy mosque. His4 member is firmer than a rock, sayest thou ? But I will bottle and drown him.5 It is …

…re is room in the universe for both the spider and the fly. It is from the rubbish-heap of Choronzon that one selects the material for a god ! This is the ultimate analysis of the Mystery of Redemption, and is possibly the real reason of the existence (if existence it can be called) of form, or, if you like, of the Ego. It is astonishing that this typical cry— " I am I ''— is the cry of that which above all is not I. It was that Master whose Will was so powerful that at its lightest expression the deaf heard, and the dumb spake, lepers were cle…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES Axiom X It is by the will that the intelligence sees. If the will is healthy, the sight is just. God said: “Let there be light!” and light is; the will says, ‘‘ Let the world be as I will to see it!” and the intelligence sees it as the will has willed. This is the meaning of the word, “ So be it,” which confirms acts of faith. Axiom XI When one creates phantoms for oneself, one puts vampires into the world, and one must nourish these children of a voluntary nightmare with one’s blood, one’s life, one’s intelligence, and…

Clouds Without Water

ay God ! do not wait then! kill me now; have done! Why do you watch me mute and immobile, Sitting like death between me and the sun, A sphinx with eyes of jade and jaws of steel? Let me rise up to kneel to you and pray! I hate this hell of agony supine. You killed her yesterday ; kill me to-day; Let me not hang like Christ ! Now snap my spine: Surely you know the trick — when from your lips I see a thin chill stream of stark black blood Trickling, the stream ofhate that glows and grips My lesser life within its sickening flood. Be pitiful, and …

… Aziz is inferior to thy podex,3 both because it has two fistulae, and because it lacks thy heat, dryness, and tightness, so also is the god of the Christians inferior to Allah, both be- cause he has two cogods, and because he hath nei- ther the power, the wisdom, not the compassion of Him who is alone and without equal, son or com- panion.4 Whether He exist or no, whether He love him or no, El Qahar will love Him and sing His praises.5 1.
