…the stars the die was cast to win. The moonrays stained with pale embroidered bars The iridescent shimmer of your skin, Under the stars. Great angels drove their pearl-interwoven cars Through the nights racecourse : silence stood within The folded cups of passions nenuphars. You were my own ; sorrowless, without sin, That night this night. Sinks the red eye of Mars ; The hand of Hermes guides us as we spin Under the stars.

…y indifferent to all but the secret purpose — more magical ethics, my disciples ! They are moved neither to pity nor to disgust, for the Great Pity and the Great Disgust have moved them to this Immobility. Next we see love under Christianity, as guilt, disease, weariness ; and the half-man rotten by its revolting filth, consenting to the ruin of mankind and his own death as relief from it. Lastly we see the man magically awakened to a sense of his disaster, too weak to retrieve the past or avert the future, though alive to all its horror. In th…

… EQUINOX Thus, then, to those who ask us, ‘What is the most important agent of miracles?” we shall reply— “It is the first matter of the Great Work. “It is MAGNETIZED ELECTRICITY.” Everything has been created by light. It is in light that form is preserved. It is by light that form reproduces itself. The vibrations of light are the principle of universal movement. By light, the suns are attached to each other, and they interlace their rays like chains of electricity. Men and things are magnetized by light like the suns, and, by means of electro…

…f the evidence, carefully considered, one would pronounce for the mystic theory.) One should add a curious omen. On sitting down for the great struggle (11.14) John St. John found a nail upon the floor, at his feet. Now a nail is Vau in Hebrew, and the Tarot Trump corresponding to Van is the Hierophant or Initiator—whereby is Ο. Μ. greatly comforted. So poor a thing hath he become! Even as a little child groping feebly for the breast of its mother, so gropeth Thy little child after Thee, O Thou Self—Glittering One ! He hath read through Days VII…

…. Firstly, let thine attention be directed to this planet, how the Zon of Horus is made manifest by the Universal War. This is the first great and direct result of the Equinox of the Gods, and is the preparation of the hearts of men for the reception of the Law. Let Us remind you that this is a magical formula of cos- mic scope, and that it is given in exact detail in the legend of the Golden Fleece. Jason, who in this story represents the Beast, first fits out a ship guided by Wisdom or Athena, and this is his aspira- tion to the Great Work. A…

Now then my eyes gave the lie to my hand ; but rushing upon thee like a bull, I did pe- netrate to the core of thy being ; and great joy overcoming me I fell down, assured that there was but one. Thus it is with the unbeliever3 and his three gods ; but whoso knoweth Allah knoweth Him to be one. For all that, Habib, it is a great pity that thou art not double as to thy podex ; I could more easily understand and excuse thy filthy dealings with the one-eyed Nubian yesterday. Of a surety thou stinkest yet of his sweat ; go wash thyself be…

…essity of "representing" what people call "nature". The soul was to be the servant of the eye. One could only suggest the relations of a great man with the universe by surrounding a more or less photographic portrait of him with the apparatus of his life work. Nelson was painted with a background of three-deckers and a telescope under his arm; Wren with a pair of compasses in front of St. Paul's. Rodin told me how he had conceived his Balzac.

Pollitt had made a poet of me ; Eckenstein had made a man of me ; Cecil Jones and Allan Bennett had made a God of me. I had forgotten the Plymouth Brethren ! But early in this spring, I went down to Eastbourne to my mother’s house, and some of the old bitterness came back. In her house were two vile old women, hypocrites and slaves to the marrow. Th…

This great delight Involves me, weaves me in its pattern of bliss, Seals me with its own kiss, Draws me to thee with every dream that glows, Poet, each word ; maiden, each burden of snows Extending beyond sunset, beyond dawn !
