…ration ! Lilies, lilies : let them swathe you, Robes baptismal of damnation ! Tuberose and iris bathe you In the sea, annihilation ! All white flowers I build, a fane Fit to shroud the sacrifice. I will kiss you once again Ere I pull the trigger twice. Or our death were died in vain.

Invoke , ye melancholy slaves , The morning of Apollo ! There 's phosphorescence in the wake , And starlight o' er the prow . One comet , like an angry snake , Lifts up its hooded brow .

O secret Rose! O secret Name! The west wind blows As the hot red flame x L 161

…ce', which links two main lines of thought, and so is worth dozens of isolated gains. Now, if there is any difference at all between the White and the Black Adept in similar case, it is that the one, working by "love under will" achieves a marriage with the new idea, while the other, merely grabbing, adds a concubine to his harem of slaves. The about-to-be-Black Brother constantly restricts himself; he is satisfied with a very limited ideal; he is afraid of losing his individuality-reminds one of that "Nordic" twaddle about "race-pollution." "N…

Ignorance May set its puppets up to dance ; We know who 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
THE WHITE WIND. 65 Nay, touch me not. I am a virgin vowed — She lays her hand upon his arm. I am of royal race Most mortal proud — She kneels, kissing his robe. Spare me, sweet sir ! She pretends to stagger, and falls back upon the ground. Her robe falls from her. THE YOUTH I am a messenger. He disappears. MIRIAM Shaitan ! he slipped my grip.

Preoccupied and white as dreams , He bends his head , watching his own , His still dominions . Brawling streams Could never make for him a throne . He knows it not , it knows him not , This other world hung in the pool Possession is his lonely lot , Lord of a kingdom deep and cool . 131

Clad in sparse robes of white The mountain beckons Night Her tracery of azure with the cold moon-rays to knit. Armoured with secret might I stand on earth upright, Strong in the power of Him who welded earth, Barred in the sky with steel, And breathed upon the wheel Of this vast scheme of stars, and made Him mirth In the poor dreams of us Who strive mysterious To pierce the bands of sense, and break the girth Of our own minds’ desire…

…ND OF BEN LEDI. N his couch Imperial Alpin In majestic grandeur lay, Dying with the sun that faded O’er the plain of granite gray. Snowy white his beard descended, Flecked with foeman’s crimson gore, And he rose and grasped his broadsword, And he prayed to mighty Thor : “God of thunder, god of battle, God of pillage and of war, Hear the King of Scotland dying On the Leny’s thundrous shore! “Thrice three hundred have I smitten With my single arm this day; Now of life my soul is weary, I am old, I pass away. “Grant me this, immortal monarch, _ Su…

Thou art comelier than he, And softly mayest thou draw me From this perplexity. But hast thou — hast thou such a thing of fear (Like an old giant’s knotty spear) As he ?
