I think that, if you have understood this, the whole theory is not within your grasp; hold it fast, and lay about you! In the passive elements of Earth and Water is no creative virtue to cleanse themselves from such impurity as they chance to acquire ; it is therefore of cardinal importance to watch them, guard them, keep their Purity untainted and unsoiled; shall the Holy Grail brim with poison of Asps, and the golden Paten be defiled with the Bread of In…

… blind eyes burned into her mild ones : limbs Twined to each other while fine dew bedims Their quivering skins : lip fastened unto lip : Whole soul and body frenzied meet and clip ; And the breath staggers, and the life-blood swims ! Terrible gods chant black demoniac hymns As the frail cords of honour strain and slip. For in the midst of that tremendous tide The mighty vigour of a god was mine ! Drunk with desire, her lamentations died. The dove gave place a moment to the swine ! Rapturous draughts of madness ! Out she sighed Uttermost life’s …

…time to have questions asked in Parliament. There was Lou almost in tears because she had nothing to wear ; practically no jewellery—the whole idea of being a knight is that when you see a wrong it is your duty to right it. Fortunately, there was no difficulty at the present moment. All we had to do was to drive down to the Rue de la Paix. I certainly almost fell down when I saw all those pearls on her neck. And that cabochon emerald! By George, it did go with her hair! These shop men in Paris are certainly artists. The man saw in a moment what…

…manded by that book to behave in such a manner he proceeded to do so, come what may. The verses used are "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law" and "Love is the law, love under will." The command is to be found in the third chapter of Liber Legis: "and to each man and woman that thou meetest, were it but to dine or to drink at them, it is the Law to give. Then they shall chance to abide in this bliss or no ; it is no odds." He adapted these versicles to the exigences for grace before meals; see Letter A for this dialogue. Furthermore…

…thou wilt”, the most sublimely austere ethical precept ever uttered, despite its apparent licence, is seen on analysis to be indeed “the whole of the Law”, the sole and sufficient warrant for human action, the self-evident Code of Righteousness, the identification of Fate with Freewill, and the end of the Civil War in Man’s nature by appointing the Canon of Truth, the conformity of things with themselves, to détermine his every act. “Do what thou wilt” is to bid Stars to shine, Vines to bear grapes, Water to seek its levelj man is the only bein…

Fhe knowledge of exoteric science is comically limited by the fact that we hâve no access, except in the most indirect way, to any other celestial body than our own. In the last few years, the semi-educated hâve got an idea that they know a great deal about the universe, and the principal ground for their fine opinion of themselves is usually the téléphoné or the airship.

After seventeen years of unparalleled spiritual progress, of unimaginably intense ecstasies, of beatitudes prolonged for whole months, of initiations indescribably exalted, of proof piled on proof of His power, His vigilance, His love, after being protected and energized with incredible aptness, I find myself still only too ready to grumble, nay even to doubt.

But I do assure you that the whole of my life's work, were it multiplied a thousand fold, would not be worth one tithe of the value of a single verse of The Book of the Law. I think you should have a copy of The Equinox of the Gods and make The Book of the Law your constant study. Such value as my own work may possess for you should amount to no more than an aid to the interpretation of this book. 2. It may be that later on you will want …
