…d perhaps to pay you out for baffling her!" Grey said all this with an air of the most hideous boredom. It was evident that he hated the whole business. He was restless and anxious, too, with another part of his brain; Lisa could see that, but she dared not question him. So she went on the old track. "Doesn't she get messages from the dead?" "It's not done much now. It's too easy to fake, and the monied fools lost interest, as a class. This new game tickles the vanity of some of the sham scientific people, like Lombroso; they think they'll make…

…of Pan ? Involved in All and still apart from All ! For steeped therein as I am all my life, I know but exquisite beatitude, Knowing the whole, Then who shall know or care What may befall the part ? One must remain ; Many must change. Then all is well. The strife Is but the ferment of the forward still Immune from grief, intolerant of ill, Fronting the double foe — of pain and joy — With equal eye — in the meantime — Dear boy, Wake ! Let us revel it the while we may, Love dawning ever with the dawning day. Wake, brothers, sisters ! It is time t…

…rion is concealed, collecting his forces for a final blow. When the Book of the Law and its Comment is published, with the forces of His whole Will in perfect obedience to the instructions which hâve up to now been misunderstood or neglected, the resuit will be incalculably effective. The event will establish the kingdom of the Crowned and Conquering Child over the whole earth, and ail men shall bow to the Law, which is “love under Will”. This is an extreme case; but there is one law only to govern the small as the great. The same laws describe…

…the skies are riven— A God flames forth my spirit to beget ; And where my body and his love are met A new desire possesses altogether My whole new self as in a golden net Of transcendental love one fiery tether, Dissolving all my woe into one sea of weather. So I am ready to assume the Cross, Start on my journey with the last word said ; Turn my back resolute on dung and dross, And face the future with no twitch of dread, But dare to converse with the holy dead, And taste the earnest of the church’s bliss. Love, God be with you ! He is overhead…

…peasethough naught but slaughter serve my turn, I, in an hour that bring thee ease, fret the nights silk and ache and burn. But nowmy whole life stings in me ; a viper violates my veins ; Locusta laughs at Lalage ! a ghoul that sucks at her own brains ! Where is the ship ? Where is the ship ? Where is my man, my man, my man ? Who gave thee power to rend and rip the hearty out from a courtezan ? I roved from town to town : I played the whore in every slimy stews. God ! I am like a moon-struck maid, easing her drought on sister dews.

This Lamp hangeth above the Altar, it hath no support from below; its light illumines the whole Temple, yet upon it are cast no shadows, no reflections.

is part of the whole set of circumstances that I do not use a crowbar on an open door. “The conclusion is that one should do one’s Will ‘without lust of resuit’. If one is working in accordance with the laws of one’s own nature, one is doing ‘right’; and no such Wo^k can be criticised as ‘useless’, even in cases of the character here discussed. So long as one’s Will prevails, there is no cause for complaint. “To abandon one’s Magick would shew lack of self-confidence in one’s powers, and doubt as to one’s inmost faith in Self and in Nature.1 Of…

Each night new failure and each day fresh strength, A sense of something nearer day by day ; Though the ill road’s intolerable length, League upon league, fling back the torrid ray Of the fierce sunlight night can scarce allay With the incessant beating of cool wings, And men’s bleached skeletons infest the way, Yet Hope her passion like a flower brings, And Coura…

…n for that sacrament Of shame. From that day unto this My cheek desires that hideous kiss. Her hate, her scorn, her cruel blows, Fill my whole life, consume my breath ; Her red-fanged hatred in me glows ; I lust for her, and hell, and death ; I see that ghastly look, and yearn Toward the brands of her that burn. Sleep shuns me ; dreams divide the night (My parched throat thirsty for her veins), That she and I with deep delight Suck from death’s womb infernal pains, Whose fire consumes, destroys, devours Through night’s insatiable hours.

Unto the floral face, Carven in ancient grace Of Gods or Greeks, The whole sky’s way gives place : Open the walls of space, And silence speaks. 1 Swinburne, ‘‘ Ave atque Vale.”’ See ! I am floating far Beyond space and sun and star, As drifts a nenuphar Down lilied creeks. Beyond the heavens I see The pale embroidery Of some wan child Wasted by earth and sea, Whose kisses were too free, Too swift and wild ; A Maenad’s floating tress Lost in the wilderness Of death’s or my cares…

…s work, may not in course of time become one of vital value. If it be atrophied — alas! Its suppression may moreover have poisoned one’s whole system, as a breast debarred from its natu ral use is prone to cancer. At best, it may be too late to repair the mischief; the lost opportunity may be a life-long remorse. The one way of safety lies in applying the Law of Thelema with the utmost rigour. Every impulse, however feeble, is neces sary to the stability of the whole structure; the tiniest flaw may cause the cannon to burst. Every impulse, ho…

…hen, per contra, Martin Luther, being a Giant of Will, and also the Eighth Henry of England, as a mighty King, bent them to overturn the whole World that they might have satisfaction of their Loves. And who shall follow them? For even now we find great Churchmen, Statesmen, Princes, Dramamakers, and many lesser Men, overwhelmed utterly and ruined by the conflict between their Passions and the Society about them. Wherein which Party errs is no matter of Moment for our Thought; but the Existence of the War is Evidence of Wrong done to Nature. n

This is why “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of…
