Liber Aleph

…cting themselves, and being divided in Will, are indeed the Servants of Sin, and they suffer, because, not being united in Love with the whole Universe, they perceive not Beauty, but Ugliness and Deformity, and, not being united in Under- standing thereof, conceive only of Darkness and Confusion, beholding Evil therein. Thus at last they come, as did the Manichæans, to find, to their Terror, a Division even in the one, not that Division which we know for the Craft of Love, but a Division of Hate. And this, multiplying itself, Conflict upon Conf…

…he riddle ’s simple—here ’s the key! There is none other God than He.” He conjures up the Universe, Men bitter bad, and women worse. The whole disgusting Pan is shown, Filth from the spirit to the stone. “ Read that l ” he yelled. “Your eyeballs squint, But That is surely plain as print.” “ It is,” I said, “ for all to see— There is none other God than He.” And now the Devil strides and spins Most furiously widdershins. He causes two deceitful moons To dance upon the driving dunes. “ If all ’s illusion, gentle youth, All is the enemy of Truth. …

O Beauty, I must see thee as thou art! Then on my withered gaze that Beauty grew— Rosy quintessence of alchemic dew ! The Self-informing Beauty! In my heart The many were united: and I knew.

Orpheus

… From the fine flower and fragrance of my tresses! Sunset bids darken all my body’s light, Mixing its music with the sad caresses Of the whole world: I wheel in wingless flight Through lampless space, the starless wildernesses! Beyond the universal bounds that roll, There is the shrine and image of my soul. Nature my name is called. O fruitless veil Of the strange self of its own self begotten ! O vision laughterless! O shadowy tale! O brain that halts before its thought forgotten ! Once all ye knew me—ere the earth grew pale, And Time began, a…

…and intelligence shown in the earlier cards; and in front are the two formidable Dorjes of the Two of Wands, but lengthened to bars. The whole picture suggests Oppression and repression. It is a stupid and obstinate cruelty from which there is no escape. It is a Will which has not understood anything beyond its dull purpose, its “lust of result”, and will devour itself in the conflagrations it has evoked.
