…ho pulls the strings. No sage; A man unwashed, the bearded brute! His wife, the mother-prostitute ! Behind the marionetted stage See the true Punch-and-Judy show, Turn copper so to silver! Know, And who can help forgiving? So 13
…th of God in ocean 's rise and fall, 1 If there be God behind the stars and sullen blue, If all our dreams that we would proudly hold as true Are shadows from the light of God who is the All ; If we who looked adoringly in Nature 's eyes , And we who find in Love the highest truth we know And bear the blazing torch of song aloft to show Divinity indwells the lovely forms we prize ; If we , then , poets , dare believe as we dare see The God above , among us , who is God indeed , O Thou , who gave us voice and vision to our need , Take to Thyself…
…at wither,” And here their heaviest wings Droop, and “dead years draw hither And all disastrous things.” Pure loves that flowered never, True loves that none might sever, The flame that burns for ever, Love's ruined water-springs. Oh, Death! draw nigh, deliver My passion from its band ; Draw nigh, until I shiver At thy most holy hand. For Earth’s desires have fled me, And Earth’s distrusts have fed me, And Love has come, and shed me As water upon sand.
…s linked with purity. As sad spring's sun starts on his daily race, Reddens the east, as if in sad disgrace ; So love first blushes on a true maiden's face. lOO
THE THIRTEENTH DAY “ If it be a sin to make a true election, she is damned.” Cymbeline. In the dim porchway where the sea’s deep boom Under our very feet made ceaseless song, We sate, remote, the lone lanai along, Sequestered from the young moon in the gloom Of early even : then the tender bloom Shone on her cheek and deepened as the strong Arms gathered round her, more than shame or wrong, And the soft question murmured “ Love you—whom ?” The deepening rose ; the heart’s pulse quickening ; The fear ; the increasing ecstasy of this— A little cl…
… ARGUS. Thou! But see me, I am ruined. The good ship Is finished! Where’s my daily wage? JASON. Be sure I pay thee treble if thy tale be true. ARGUS. Ay! treble nothing! I shall buy a palace. JASON. Treble thine utmost wish. ARGUS. Two evils then Thou pilest on one good! But come and see! The Argo is discovered. CHORUS OF HEROES. By Wisdom framed from ancient days The stately Argo stands above; Too firm to fear, too great to praise, The might of bright Athena’s love! Oh! ship of glory! tread the foam, And bring our guerdon from its home!
…he letter Aleph. In this simple yet ingenious manner they the attribution of every card, except The Universe, XXI, wrong. Meanwhile, the true attribution was well guarded in the Sanctuary; it only became public when the secret lection issued to members of the Grade of Practicus of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was published as a result of the catastrophe attending the English branch of the Order in 1899 and 1900, e.v., and the reconstruction of the whole Order in March and April, 1904, e.v. By putting the card marked 0 in its proper pla…
…een the Will with a capital W, and desire, want, or velleity. The main point seems to be that in aspiring to Power one is limited by the True Will. If you use force, violating your own nature either from lack of understanding or from petulant whim, one is merely wasting energy; things go back to normal as soon as the stress is removed. This is one small case of the big Equation "Free Will=Necessity" (Fate, Destiny, or Karma: it's all much the same idea). One is most rigidly bound by the causal chain that has dragged one to where one is; but it …
such a way that he automatically bases every action of his daily life on its principles. (This is true of practically all men, whatever their race, caste, or creed.) This universally accepted basis of conduct is Science. 6. Science has attained this position because it makes no assertion that it is not prepared to demonstrate to all- comers. (This part is so well understood that all the false prophetsSpiritualism, Christian Science, eth- nological cranks, Great Pyramid puzzle-mongers, and the rest of the humbugsall pretend to appeal to evid…
…they have Antipathy. (Even so may no Man form a Square Magical of Four Units.) But the Light of the New Æon revealeth this Sphinx as the true Symbol of this our Holy Art of Magick under the Law of Thelema. In Her is the equal Development and Disposition of the Forces of Nature, each in its Balanced Strength; also Her True Name has the Digamma for Phi, and endeth in Upsilon, not in Xi, so that Her Orthography is S#inu whose Numer-ation is Six Hundred and Three Score and Six. For the Root thereof is S#, which signifieth the Incarnation of the Spi…
…splendour that we prized ; And she, whose robe was far too slight to hide The babe-smooth breasts, was far to frail to cover Her heart’s true fire and music from her lover. 54
The True Will 335 what he means by “ Do what thou wilt.” I wonder what my true will is? Is there really such a thing at all? My mathematics tells me that there must be. However many forces there may be at work, one can always find their resultant. But this was all terribly vague. The desire to take heroin was clear-cut. It no longer produced any particular effect to take it. Now that I was getting down to two or three doses a day, at the most, it seemed as though there were no particular object in taking it, even as dulling the craving for it. …
…ofane, with due silence endowed ! , I call thee by Nature, My mother and friend ! By every creature! | By life and its end! By love, the true teacher, My chanting I send, Invoking thy stature immense, the terrible form of a fiend! I hear not a word, ' Though my music be rolled As the song of a bird Through fields of gold. Hast thou not heard? Have I not told The magic that bridleth the Gods, the Gods in their houses of old? , : 92
…, the sky, the sea, the earth, partook with us of that ineffable sacrament. There was no discontinuity between that first embrace of our true marriage, and the occupation of the afternoon in taking stock of the effects of the laboratory, and making notes of the things we should ask Lala to bring us from London. The sun sank behind the ridge, and far above us from the Refectory came the sonorous beat of the tom-tom which told us that the evening meal was ready. We shut up the house, and ran laughing up the slopes. They no longer tired and daunte…
…heroin pretty useful when you know how to use it. However, your gesture just now was automatic. It was evidence that your unconscious or true will objects to your taking heroin. So far so good for the negative side. But the question is, what does your true will actually want you to do in a positive way?”
… career or a ruined constitution will no more be the penalty of a moment’s exuberance. Above all, the world will begin to appreciate the true nature of the sexual process, its physical insignificance as one among many parts of the body, its transcendent importance as the vehicle of the True Will and the first of the sheaths of the Self.
…ing so one is purged of those personal prejudices which we took so stu pidly for ourselves, though they prevented us from realizing our true Wills and from knowing our Names and Natures. The Aspir ant must well understand that it is no paradox to say that the Annihilation of the Ego in the Abyss is the condition of emanci pating the true Self, and exalting it to unimaginable heights. So long as one remains “one’s self,” one is overwhelmed by the Uni verse; destroy the sense of self, and every event is equally an expression of one’s Will, si…
THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING This is but a theory, but a theory worth working upon until a better be derived from truer facts. Adopting it, the transfigured-realist gazes at it with wonder and then casts Theory overboard, and loads his ship with Law; postulates that every cause has its effect; and, when his ship begins to sink, refuses to jettison his wretched cargo, or even to man the pumps of Doubt, because the final result is declared by his philosophy to be unknowable. If any one cause be unknowable, be it first or last, then all causes a…

…sings). Amid earth's motley, Gaia's cap and bells, This too material, too unreal life, Sing, sing the crown of tender miracles, The pure true wife ! Sing not of love, the unutterable one, The love divine that Mary has to men. Seek not the winepress and the rising sun Beyond thy ken ! Tannhauser [aside). Who is this man that reads my inmost thought ? The Unknown Minstrel. I sing of love, most delicate and pure, Surely the crown of life ! How slow and sweet Its music ! Shall the ecstasy endure, Sunshine on wheat ? 104
