…of all power! Kindle this firstling flower The rainbow nymph above the waterfall Into a mortal shade Of thee, immortal maid, That in her love I gather and recall Some memory mighty and mute In love’s poor substitute Of thee, thy Love too high, the impossible pursuit! Then from the cloud a golden voice Great harmonies persuade, That all the cosmic lawns rejoice Like laughter of a maid ; Till evolution had no choice, But heard it, and obeyed. “ Show by thy magic art The hero-story!

… These are fools that men adore; both their Gods & their men are fools. 12. Come forth, o children, under the stars, & take your fill of love! Commentary: The whole doctrine of “love” is discussed in the Book Aleph (Wisdom or Folly) and should be studied therein. But note further how this verse agrees with the comment above, how every Star is to come forth from its veils, that it may revel with the whole World of Stars. This is again also a call to unite, or “love,” thus formulating the equation 1 + (-1) = 0,1 which is the general magical formu…

Two faces and two bosoms, breathing slowly In tune and time with the sea’s hymn below, Breathing in peace of love, mighty and holy, Fearing to fuse, and longing—be it so ! And the world’s pulse stops, as God bends him lowly To hear and know. . . . . . . . For not the heights of heaven shall exalt her Whose heart is full of love’s dumb deity, Nor harp-strings lift me, nor the sound of psalter, Whose love is merged and molten into thee, Nor incense sweeter be by shrine or altar For you and me. . . . . . . . But like dove’s eyes where glamour lies…

… Keep you in the rear of your affection Out of the shot and danger of desire."’ Hamlet. I wAs so hopeless that I turned away And gave my love to foul oblivion, . Shuttered my bosom’s window from the sun, Kindled a corpse-light and proclaimed ‘*The day!” ; Lurked in Aeaean! fens to elude the ray Whose beauty might disturb me: I did shun. The onyx eyes that saw me not as one Possible even for a moment’s play. Thus I was tangled in some house of hell, Giving mine own soul’s beauty up to lust, Hoping to build some fort impregnable Against my love: …

…f powerful imagination, will, and intelligence hâve no need of these material symbols. There hâve been certain saints who are capable of love for an idea as such without it being otherwise than degraded by idolising it, to use this Word in its true sense. Thus one may be impassioned of beauty, without even the need of so small a concrétion of it as “The beauty of Apollo”, the “beauty of roses”, the “beauty of Attis”. Such persons are rare 5 it may be doubted whether Plato himself attained to any vision of absolute beauty without attaching to it…

King Shalomeh saith .? Thus failed the Quest , as all quest against love must inevitably fail . A man who truly loves a woman loves her so intensely that all else is as naught ; she grows before him gigantic through the mist of his desire , swallowing him up in the affinity of her being .

…thereon to alter them, it is an Impurity of Oppression. So also Diet is to be in Accord with Digestion; Ethics were an Impurity therein. Love is an Expression of the Will of the Body, yea, and more also, of That which created he Body; and its Operation is commonly between One and One, so that the Interference of a Third Person is Impurity, and not to be endured. Nay, even the thought of Third Person hath but ordinary not Part in Love; so that, as thou seest constantly in thy Life, Love being strong, taketh no heed of others, and some after Inte…

108 MYSTERIES: LYRICAL AND DRAMATIC THE DREAMING. DEATH! My beauty in thy deep pure love Anchors its homage far above All lights of heaven. The stars awake ; The very stars bend down to take From its fresh fragrance for the sake Of their own cloud-compelling peace. On earth there lies a silver fleece Of new-fallen snow, secure from sun, In alleys, leafy every one This year already with the spring, The breeze blows freshly, thrushes sing, And all the woods are burgeoning With quick new buds ; across the snow The scent of violets to and fro Wafts…

…to tool-and-podex play till all the world in tears is shed Before the sword of Azrael, the trump of Israfel the dread,2 Exalt, exalt our love at last among the living and the dead, Resort to love, and press its purple calix with His purple head, Till fall the pearls with rubies strung, the dews upon the dawn that bled. Crimson, o lover, was our love, and crimson streams the sunset past ; Hyacinthine glows the vault of night, the Future certain, sure to last. Accept the gold of noon that pours its white-hot flood, its radiant blast !

…0 133 This passage may perhaps be interpreted in a sense slightly dif ferent from that assumed in the above paragraph. We should indeed love all—is not the Law “love under will”? By this I mean that we should make proper contact with all, for love means union; and the proper condition of union is determined by will. Consider the right attitude to adopt in the matter of cholera. One should love it, that is, study it intimately; not otherwise can one be sure of maintaining the right relation with it, which is, not to allow it to interfere with o…

From Fear grew Hell, from Hope sprang Heaven ; From Love our Ecstasy untold.2 Those are delusion…
