…e thou to my pilgrimage Light, and laughter sweet and sage, Till the darkling day expire Of my life in thy caress, Thou my frenzy and my fire, Lamp of living loveliness ! Thou the ruler of the rod That beneath thy clasp extends To the galaxies of God From the gulph where ocean ends, Cave of dragon, ruby rose, Heart of hell, garden-close, 235
… wings appears, a cataract of snow Plunging before the white east wind; she meets the eager sea As forest green by thunder thinned meets fire’s emblazonry. Then I sink back upon the breast of mighty- flinging foam, Ride like a ghost upon the crest, the silver- rolling comb ; Float like a warrior to his rest, majestically home. But oh! my soul, what seest thou, whose eyes are open wide? What thoughts inspire me idling now, lone on the lonely tide? Here in the beauty of the place, hope laughs and says me nay ; In nature’s bosom, in God’s face, I …
…cordant tones Desires a certain devil-grace. She gathers wreckage-wood, and bones Of seamen, jetsam of the place, And builds therewith a fire, wherein She dances, bounding into space Like an inflated ass’s skin. She raves, and reels, and yells, and whirls So that the tears of toil begin To dew her breasts with ardent pearls. Nor doth she mitigate her dance , The bagpipe ever louder skirls,
VIRTUE THREE OF WANDS This card refers to Binah in the suit of Fire, and so represents the establishment of primeval Energy. The Will has been trans mitted to the Mother, who conceives, prepares, and gives birth to, its manifestation. It refers to the Sun in Aries, the Sign in which he is exalted. The meaning is harmonious, for this is the beginning of Spring. For this reason one sees the wand taking the form of the Lotus in blossom. The Sun has enkindled the Great Mother. In the Yî King, Sol in Aries is represented by the 11th hexagram, Thai; …
…e law of the fortress, and the great mystery of the House of God. Beauty and strength, leaping laughter and delicious languor, force and fire, are of us. I am the Snake that giveth Knowledge & Delight and brigh t glory, and stir the hearts of men with drunkenness. To worship me take wine and strange drugs whereof I will tell my prophet, & be drunk thereof! They shall not harm ye at all. It is a lie, this folly against self The exposure of innocence is a lie.

) 220 CARMEN SAECULARE In the hour of Revolt that burns nigher Each hour as it leaps to the sky, We look to Thee, Lord, for Thy Fire ; We look—shall Thy Justice deny? Well, can we not die? But Thou, Thou shalt fall from the heaven As hail on the furious host. I see them : their legions are driven ; Their cohorts are broken and lost. Thy fire hath dispersed them and shattered ! They hesitate, waver, and flee! The tyrant is shaken and scattered, And Ireland is clear to the Sea! Green Erin is free! Hail! Hail to Thee, Lord of us, Horus!! All hail …

… sters of time's womb were to be annihilated; even the ego might hope some end. The ego is the worm that dieth not, and existence the fire that is not quenched. Yet in this universal pyre, in this barathrum of liquid lava, jetted from the volca- noes of the infinite, this lake of fire that is reserved for the devil and his angels, might not one at last touch bottom? Ah! but time was no more, neither any eidolon thereof!
JEPHTHAH. Throbbing with fire more potent than all wine, All sting of fleshly pangs and pleasures. Oh! The god is fast upon my back ; he rides My spirit like a stallion ; for I hate The awful thong his hand is heavy with. ELEAZAR. Speak, for the god compels, and we behold. PROPHET. A harlot shall be mother of Israel. CHORUS. He speaks of her who sighed for Gilead. PROPHET. A maiden shall be slain for many men. CHORUS. A doubtful word, and who shall fathom it? | PROPHET. Thy help is from the hills and desert lands. CHORUS. Our help is from the h…
…d the archangels wing recedes in night : Ay ! even God seems perturbed and afraid Because it wears so holy a garb of light Of perfumed fire immaculately made. These sins are deadly. God is merciless For Love that joins Mans passion with His power, And makes to bloom on earth a fairer flower Than heaven bears. Our token of success Is that displeasure toward our sin unnamed Of a fierce demon jealous and ashamed.
…en to proclaim aloud The year acceptable before the Lord. Therefore He fills my voice with silvery sound, And by His spirit, a pillar of fire and cloud, My eyes are lightning, and my tongue a sword. 72
What passionate hatred, what infernal pains, Mixed with thy being in the womb of Death ? Blistering fire runs, Scorching, terrific suns. Through body and soul in this abominable Marriage of demon power Subtle and strong and sour, A draught of ichor of the veins of Hell ! Curses leap leprous, epicene, unclean. The soul of the Obscene Incarnate in the spirit : and above Hangs Sin, vast vampire, the corrupt, that swings Her unredeeming wings Over the world, and flaps for lust of Death —and Love! Venus. This man was drained of music ! Five new song…
…ess sorrow of long years, depart ! O joy of minutes that be ages long, Come ! Let the choral pulse and strength of song Quicken, and the fire of lute and lyre dart, An arrow red with blood and bright with art, And cover all the fiery bloom of wrong With blossoms blacker where the blood runs strong As our lips pale, their life fled to the heart. Surely we are as dead, we loving so, So bitterly, so keenly : let no breath Persuade us we are living and must die ! Better believe eternal kisses flow Under the strong rude current miscalled death, The …
…rver that she is merely in the spasm of mood. She is cruel, un reliable, faithless and domi‐ neering. In the Yî King, the earthy part of Fire is described by the 27th hexagram, î. This shows a person omnivorous in passion of whatever kind, entirely reckless in the means of obtaining gratification, and insatiable. The Yi commentary is packed with alternate warning and en‐ couragement.
66 RONDELS RONDELS I Maid of dark eyes, that glow with shy sweet fire, Song lingers on thy beauty till it dies In awe and longing on the smitten lyre : Maid of dark eyes. Grant me thy love, earth’s last surpassing prize, Me, cast upon the faggots of love’s pyre For love of the white bosom that underlies The subtle passion of thy snowy attire, The shadowy secret of thine amorous thighs, The inmost shrine of my supreme desire, Maid of dark eyes ! 2 Boy of red lips, pale face, and golden hair, Of dreamy eyes of love, and finger-tips Rosy with yout…
…d’s deepest dell Where—my love knows. III Skies are grown redder far ; Tempest draws nigher ; Dark lowers a single star ; Mars, like the fire ! Fiercer our lips engage ; Limbs, eyes, ears gather rage ; Sharp grows desire. Hear thy short bitter cries ? Pity thine agonies ? Loose, though love tire ? Nay, neither hear nor spare ; Frenzy shall mock at prayer ; Torture’s red torch shall flare Till thou expire. IV Stars stud a cloudless sky ; Moon silvers blue ; Breeze is content to die ; Lightly falls dew.

…cunning and earnestness he will understand why it is necessary to enter the grade of the Element of Water by the paths of the Sun and of Fire, as he will in his next step understand why it is that the paths of p and x, that is, of Pisces and Aquarius, lead him to the Fire of Netzach and not to the Water of Hod. The path which connects Hod with Netzach is the 27th path of the Sepher Yetzirah which answers to the letter ». It is the reflection of the Sphere of Mars and is the lowermost of the reciprocal paths. The Tarot Key attributed to this pat…
