…dst betwixt the skies God looks through the clouds and dies . Lying on a bank of green , All the grey is clearest seen ; All my floating thoughts arise To the place where God still lies . In my thought I clothe him now ; He is born behind my brow , And again shall live and die In the battle of the sky . 151
…ck eyes, pin-points below shaggy eye-brows, inspired the large man with a certain uneasiness. Not at all a chap to quarrel with, was his thought. However, being himself a widely-travelled manBoulogne, Dieppe, Paris, Switzerland, and even Venicehe had none of that insularity of which foreign- ers accuse some Englishmen, and he had endeavoured to make conversation during the journey. The small man had proved a poor companion, taciturn to a fault, sparing of words where a nod would satisfy the obliga- tions of courtesy, and seemingly fonder of h…
…t, so sit, my love and I. But not to-day. Your silence stirs No answering rapture : you are proud, And love itself checks and deters The thought to say itself aloud. B 9
…y, and dinner and—what else ?— However unlike, coincide In composition verified Of final protoplasmic cells. Shall this avail to stagger thought, Confuse the reason, bring to nought The rosebud, in reflecting: Hem! What beauty hath the flower and stem? Carbon we know, and nitrogen, And oxygen—are these a rose? But this though everybody knows, That this should be the same for men They know not. Death may decompose, 50
…HE WORLD’S TRAGEDY. With the smoke that madness finds The sole cloak of anarchy. Misty vapours demon-wrought Fill the cold clear dome of thought. ALEXANDER Mother, I have brought him myrrh. Sorrow black and sinister Shall his name bring to the race. Wheresoever on the earth Shall be heard his hissing name Shall be madness and disgrace, Falsehood, barrenness, and shame For the folk of praise and worth. All the pure, the fair, the young Shall taste curses on his tongue ; But the old, the chill, the base, Shall find beauty in his face. Also, of As…
…y of the earth in * Originally, for “Understanding” was written “Power.” Choronzon was always using some word that did not represent his thought, because there is no proper link between his thought and speech. Note that he never seems able to distinguish between the Frater and the Scribe, and addresses first one, then the other, in the same sentence. 98
GEOMANCY 369 other financial necessities of the Work by Geomantic divination" Now, then , he thought , in and about Johannesburg we have both gold and diamonds; that is exactly the chance for these tricky earth spirits to take advantage of the ambiguity . I will therefore frame the question so as to cover both sources of riches. I will not specify gold or diamonds. I will say simply "mineral wealth." The answers to his series of questions indicated that he was to go out of the city where he would find a deposit. The next questions in his series…
…r dress, With broidery of old gold. Her hair Was long and starry, gilded red. Her face was laughter, shapen fair By the sweet things she thought and said. Her whiteness rustled as she walked. Her hair sang tunes across the air. She sighed, laughed, whispered, never talked. She smiled, and loves devout and rare Flickered about the room. She stayed Still in the dusk : her body sang Out full and clear “‘O love me!” Rang The silver couplets undismayed, Bright, bold, convincing. In her eyes 42
THE EQUINOX Presumably cessation of sense perception. How can we prove our theory? By cutting away every perception, every thought- form as it is born, until nothing thinkable is left, not even the thought of the unknowable. The man of science will often say “I do not know, I really do not know where these bricks came from, or how they were made, or who made them; but here they are; let us build a house and live in it.” Now this indeed is a very sensible view to take, and the result is we have some very fine houses built by these excellent bric…

…ead anything much unless I had to.” ““T went into it rather for a couple of years,” he returned, and then stopped short and flushed. The thought had apparently called up some very unpleasant memories. He tried to cover his corfusion by volubility, and began an elaborate exposition of the tenets of St. Teresa, Miguel de Molinos, and several others celebrated in that line. “The main point, you see,” he recapitulated finally, “is the theory that everything human in us is before all things an obstacle in the way of holiness. That is the secret of t…
…e and be my dear, To love me in the spirit without fear ;— Leaving the body’s love to follow at even. Seemeth it not absurd ? to use the thought, The utterly divine impersonal Mind of a man, the pure, the spiritual, To such a purpose rather less than nought, A woman’s love—considering that all Wise men assure us that it may be bought ! 33
LIMERICKS I There was an old man of Manchuria, Who suffered from painful dysuria, It was not (yes, you thought it) From a girl that he caught it, But from trying to read Brownings Luria. II There was a young scholar of Spy Hill Who retired after lunch to a high hill. Said his friends Well, how was it ? A healthy deposit ? He sighed Vox, et praeterea nihil. III There was a young man of Cape Town, Who acquired European renown By sucking his come From his bugger-boys bum, Swallowing it, and keeping it down. IV There once was a Kensingt…
…EN KNIGHT Touched the extreme, the giant goal! Yea! all things in that hour transcended, All power in his sublime control, All felt, all thought, all comprehended— “ How is it, then, the quest ” (he saith) “Ts not—at last |!—achieved and ended? Why taste I not the Bounteous Breath, Receive the Goodly Gift of Grace? Now, kind king-eagle (by God’s death !), Restore me to mine ancient place! I am advantaged nothing then!” Then swooped he from the Byss of Space, And set the knight amid the fen. “God!” quoth Sir Palamede, “that I Who have won nine s…

…mind shot back with a vivid flash of hatred toward King Lamus. ‘A case of indiscretion!’’ He'd as good as called me a fool to my face. I thought of him as the sea, shaking with derisive laughter. All the time I had been chuckling over my dear old squad commander. Not a great flyer, am I? This will show him! And that was true enough. I was incomparably better than I had ever been before. And yet I had omitted just one obvious precaution. I suddenly realised that things might be exceedingly nasty. The only thing to be done was to shut off, and vo…
…ocaine, could match that moment. The words were old; but their meaning was marvellously new. There had never been any “1” before, when I thought “I” was I, there had never been any “ you ” before when I thought of Lou as an independent being, and had not realised that she was the necessary com- plement of the human instrument which was doing “my” work. Nor had there been any love before, while love meant nothing but the manifold stupid things that people ordinarily mean by it. Love, as I meant it now, was an affirmation of the inevitable unity …
Nor shall the mind revoke at ease These myriad cressets from the sun; Constrained in sober destinies Thought’s river shall its ripples run Into the one, the one, the one, the one. Bursting the universe, a grip Girds me to God; aha! the bliss! Begone, frail tortures wrung from whip, Weak joys sucked hard from leman’s lip, Ye are naught at all, are naught at all, in this! But brown Habiba’s fawn-wide gaze And white Zuleikha’s drowsy glance Woo me to waking unto day’s Delight from night’s unmeasured trance :— To drink, to dally, to desire, to danc…

Sit here, until your Talk hath cracked The addled egg in Nature’s nest!” With that he fled the dismal tract. c 33
