… that we didn’t quite know what. And we felt so help- less, almost too weak to move a finger. Oh, couldn’t we find some anywhere! ... My God! what a bit of luck. What a fool I am. There was one packet of H. in the pocket of my travelling dress. We crawled towards each other and shared it. After the long abstention, the effect was miraculous.. Cockie picked himself up almost fiercely. The desperate anguish of our necessity drove him to swift resolute action. He sent for the barber and the waiter. We had the maid pack our things. We paid the bill…

…ty was not so fatal as in more sober surroundings. He took to writing me voluminous letters raving about some cinema star or other whom "god designs for his soul mate! And what was he to do? Was he to yield to unchaste impulse?" Page after page, he poured out the most violent megalomania. I wrote back the obvious advice; to act sensibly without imagining that the solar system would go to smash on account of his sexual explosions. At last even Los Angeles found him a nuisance. Lydia Yonska had taken pity on him at a time when he was desperately …

But she is beautiful With Thine own beauty: yet as if the God Cancelled its mortal comeliness, and came More intimate than maiter, closing in Keen on my spirit ; as if all I sought In Thine own symbol, Beauty, were con- cealed Under her brows—how wider than the air ! How deeper than the sea! How radiant Beyond the fire! VENUS. O shun her devilish lures ! That Beauty is the sole detested fear That can annul our conquests, and arouse Our rapt dream-kisses.

…e yews Where the snowy Sierra soothed us with the breezes and the dews! In the starlight as we trembled from a laugh to a caress And the god came warm upon us in our pagan allegresse. Was the Baille de la Bona too seductive? Did you feel Through the silence and the softness all the tension of the steel? For your hair was full of roses, and my flesh was full of thorns, And the midnight came upon us worth a million crazy morns. Ah! my Gipsy, my Gitana, my Saliya! were you fain For the dance to turn to earnest?—O the sunny land of Spain! My Gitana,…

Neschamah, then, will not be influenced by Ruach, except in so far as it is explained or interpreted by Ruach. These "instincts" are implanted from on high, not from below; they would be imperative were one always sure of having received them pure…

…ay; let the good ones be purged by the prophet! Then shall this Knowledge go aright. Commentary: The “old time” is the /Eon of the Dying God. Some of his rituals are founded on an utterly false metaphysic and cosmogony; but others are based on Truth. We mend these, and end those. This “Knowledge” is the initiated Wisdom of this /Eon of Horus. See Book 4, Part III, for an account of the new principles of Magick. Note that Knowledge is Daath, Child of Chokmah by Binah, and crown of Microprosopus; yet he is not one of the Sephiroth, and his place …

I am tempted to add that even plain paederasty, without any question of symbol at all, is perhaps not so incompatible with the virtues, religious, so- cial, moral, and domestic, as by good compatriots make such a point of asserting with a fine show of disgust and indignation, thereby lending colour to the fixed idea which obtains on the Continent of Europe that all Englishmen are s…

Now it is clear what she has woven in her dance; it is the Crimson Rose of 49 Petals, and the Pillars are the Cross with which it is conjoined. And between the pillars shoot out rays of pure green fire; and now all the pillars are golden. She ceases to dance, and dwindles, gathering herself into the centre of the Rose. Now it is seen that the Rose is a vast amphitheatre, with seven tiers, each tier divide…

…conversation in such circum- stances is a lengthy affair. During the whole march to our work he only managed to say, Escape soonplease God. Before his crime he had been an atheist. I was indeed glad to find that punishment had brought repen- tance. Bevan himself was relieved. He had carefully re- frained from admitting the existence of a French Free- mason; that one should have repented filled him with a sense of almost personal triumph. He began to like Duguesclin, and to believe in him. His wrong had been hideous; if his vengeance seemed …

I insist on the "think that you wish," because, if the real You did really wish the real That, you could never have come to exist at all! ("But I don't exist."-"I know-let's get on!")

Handsome as a god, with yet a spice of devils laughter lurking there, he would sit and enjoy the treasures of the conversation, adding at the proper interval his own rich quota of scholarly jest. Needless to say, so brilliant a galaxy attracted all the false lights of the time.

6 The Diary of a Drug Fiend animal hunting his job had been after all a rather happy animal in his way, just as the desperate god battling in the air, playing pitch and toss with life and death, had been happy. Neither of those men could be depressed by mis- fortune; but the prosperous young man about town was a much inferior creature. Everything more or less bored him, and he was quite definitely irritated by an overdone cutlet. The night I met Lou, I turned into the Café Wisteria in a sort of dull, angry stupor. Yet the only irritating incide…

This is surely more convincing than some dreary thesis, plodding along doggedly with the "proof" (!) that "God is good," every sentence creaking with your chalk-stones and squeaking with the twinges of your toe! Yet just because I proclaim a doctrine of joy in the language of joy, people - dull camels-say I am not "serious." Yet I have found pleasure in harnessing the winged horses of the Sun to the ploughshare of Reason, in showing the validity of this doctrine in detail. It satisfies my sense of rhythm and of sym…
