…ained myself. Nowhere does Tannhauser refer to the Vedas and Shastras or to the Dhamma of that blameless hypochondriac, Gotama Buddha. I take all the blame for so important an omission, not without a shrewd suspicion that the commination will take the form of " For this relief much thanks ! " The particular object that I have in view in speaking both in Hebrew and Egypto-Christian symbology is that by this means I may familiarise my readers with the one thing of any importance that life, travel, and study have taught me, to wit : the Origin of …

No chords for my memory bring ; Those lips like a soul that are clinging most silently cling. Take though for these verses, though time be So sure and so swift for thy feet, Though far from this England thy clime be In years that sway slow as the wheat, Take thought, for an hour let my rhyme be not wholly unsweet. For truth and desire and devotion May lend through the verses a voice, They tremble with violent motion, They yearn to be fair for thy choice As billows and winds of the ocean that roar and rejoice. For winds that are shaken and riven…

…preme to be so high In a treacherous balloon, Like the Kings of Destiny, All the earth for their spittoon. Toads are gnawing at my feet. Take them off me quick, I pray ! Worms my juicy liver eat. Take the awful beasts away ! Vipers make my bowels their meat. Fetch a cunning knife and slay ! Kill the tadpoles in my lung, And the woodlice in my spine, And the beast that gnaws my tongue, And the weasel at my chine, And the horde of adders young That around mine entrails twine ! Come, dissect me ! Rip the skin ! Tear the bleeding flesh apart ! See …

Now when one is a Princess it is very important to have good manners, so you have to go into the passage, and take one on each arm, and go through with them singing and dancing; and if you hurt the feelings of either of them the least little bit in the world it would show you were not really a great lady, only a dress lady, and there is a man with a bow and arrow in the air, and he would soon finish you, and you would never get to the Third House at all. But the real serious difficulty is the outdoors. You have to leave…

THE MOTHER AT THE SABBATH — 69 Fall down, my baby; worship him with me. There, go; I give you to his monster kisses! Take her, my God, my God, my infamy, My love, my master! take the fruit of me! —Shrieks every soul and every demon hisses ! Out! out! the ghastly torches of the feast! Let darkness hide us and the night discover The shameless mysteries of God grown beast, The nameless blasphemy, the sliméd East— Sin incarnated with a leprous lover! “Hoc est enim ”’—the victim! ah! my womb, My womb has borne the victim! Now I queen it To-night upo…

O take my head on your bosom ; Let us reason awhile between a kiss and a kiss . All my body and soul are bent and bowed to your service , Take my body and soul , give me your body and soul : Trusty and anxious servants bound the one to the other , Seek not to set them apart , each has station in love . Love me and understand me , sympathy give me and passion , Give me a place in your mind , give me a place in yo…

So ; take our secret back to sleep with us :— And in that sleep I know that thou wilt choose The fact, and leave the dream, and so disdain These far-off splendours, catch the nearer joy. Take squalid kisses, banish crested love Intangible. Delights it thee, my friend. To reach the summits unattained before. And stumble on their snows ?

I would you were a sow And these my verses were your squealing farrow, That they might suck the milk of your perfection Unto them, that the worlds ear might be won, The worlds heart melted now, The worlds mind drawn from its dejection, By the sure fact that not in idle dream But sole in sense supreme Certainly visible and t…

THE EQUINOX us men and women: “Come forth, O children, under the stars, and take your fill of love! Iam above you and in you. My ecstasy is in yours. My joy is to see your joy.” Later She explains the mystery of sorrow: “For I am divided for love’s sake, for the chance of union.” “This is the creation of the world, that the pain of division is as nothing, and the joy of dissolution all.” It is shown later how this can be, how death itself is an ecstasy like love, but more intense, the reunion of the soul with its true self.
