…the liver ; fever swells the spleen ; Meat clogs the belly ; dusts inflames the eye : Stone irks the bladder ; gout — plague — leprosy ! Man born of woman is most full of trouble ; God a gorged fool that belches him, a bubble ! — But of all plagues wherewith a man is cursed, Take my word for it, woman is the worst ! JOHN Maybe, dear Lord, of all the words men say Of thine, that one shall never pass away. But what hath the wench done ?

I have dreamed life a circle or a line, Called God, and Fate, and Chance, and Man, divine : I know not all I say, but through it all Mark the dim hint of ultimate sunshine ! Remember me for this ! And when I go To sleep the last sleep in the slumberous snow, Let child and man and woman yet recall One little moment that I loved you so ! Let some high pinnacle my tombstone be, My epitaph the murmur of the sea, The clouds of heaven be fleeces for my pall, My unknown grave the cradle of the…

…SOLOMON THE KING viduality, a self-consciousness—I am! This is explained in Brihadaranyaka, 1. 4. 1. as follows: “In the beginning the Atman alone in the form ofa man * was this universe. He gazed around; he saw nothing there but himself. Thereupon he cried out at the beginning: ‘It is I? Thence originated the name I. Therefore to-day, when anyone is summoned, he answers first ‘It is 1’; and then only he names the other name which he bears.”+ This Consciousness of “I” is the second veil which man meets on his upward journey, and, unless he avoi…

…bit, and the results of treatment or accident are distinctly visible in it: for example, he who by nature or training or both was a tall man while he was alive, will remain as he was, after he is dead; and the fat will remain fat; and soon; and the dead man who in life had a fancy to have flowing hair, will have flowing hair. And if he was marked with the whip and had the prints of the scourge, or of wounds in him when he was alive, you might see the same in the dead body; and if his limbs were broken or misshapen when he was alive, the same ap…

…s will by taking Magical Oaths. Since such an oath is irrevocable it should be well considered; and it is better not to take any oath permanently; because with increase of understanding may come a perception of the incompatibility of the lesser oath with the greater. This is indeed almost certain to occur, and it must be remembered that as the whole essence of the will is its one-pointedness,^ a dilemma of this sort is the worst in which the Magus can find himself. Another great point in this consideration of Magick Vows is to keep them in thei…

THE NEW WINE 275 What God is in Himself the Agnostic declares is not given man to understand , much less to discuss , and this maxim finds full affirmation in “ Ascension Day, " when Crowley writes : I deny nothing —at the term It is just Nothing I affirm . Man is but an ephemeron : We float upon the blue Like sunlight specks in dew , And like the moonlight on the lake we lie .? Yet he rises : Golden , the electric spark of man is drawn Deep in the bosom of the world , to soar New - fledged , an eagle to the dazzling dawn With lidless eyes unda…

There may be failure to apply the force in the right manner, as when one presents a cheque at the wrong window of the Bank.

It’s one thing being a single man running round London perfectly happy with a shilling cigar and a stall at the Victoria Palace, and it’s quite another being on a honeymoon with a girl whom her most intimate friends call ‘‘ Unlimited Lou.” Feccles did not know that I had spent more than a third of my annual income in a fortnight. But, of course, I couldn’t tell the man how I was situated. We Pendragons are a pretty proud lot, especially si…

Man, by freeing himself from his evil passions and their slavery, creates himself, as it were, a second time. Nature made him living and suffering; he makes himself happy and immortal; he thus becomes the representative of divinity upon earth, and (relatively) exercises i…

It is indeed the power of the Roman Empire which erects the Cross on Calvary; but there must needs be Caiaphas and Herod, so blind that they crush out their own one hope of salvation from that iron tyranny; and also a traitor among those who once "left all and followed" the Son of Man. And who shall den…
