…and harsh. 13. At the end shalt thou rise and stand in the mid-heaven, a globe of glory. And therewith shall arise the mighty Sound that holy men hâve likened unto the roaring of a Lion. 14. Then shalt thou withdraw thyself from the Vision, gathering thyself into the divine form of Osiris upon his throne. 15. Then shalt thou repeat audibly the cry of triumph of the god re-arisen, as it shall hâve been given unto thee by thy Superior. 16.

…idnight black and blind, Strange chants, the murmurs of the mind, To grasp the hands of heaven and find the lords of light. Mine was the holy fire that drew Its perfect passion from the dew, And all the flowers that blushed and blew On sunny slopes by little brooks. Mine the desire that brushed aside The thorns, and would not be denied, And sought, more eager than a bride, The cold grey secrets wan and wide of sacred books. Thine was the hand that guided me By moor and mountain, vale and lea, And led me to the sudden sea That lies superb, remot…

Move to the line—the steady will of man, That shall attract the Two, the Breath of Life, The Holy Spirit : land you in the Three, Where form is perfect— in the triangle. Tannhauser. My friend, the Three is infinitely small, Mere surface. And I seek the Depth divine ! The Unknown Minstrel. The solid ! But the triangle aspires To that same unity that you despise, And lo ! the Pyramid ! The Sages say : Unite that to the Sphinx, and all is done, Completion of the Magnum Opus. Tannhauser. No!

…errestrial birth, Man mastered the mammoth and horse; and Man was the Lord of the Earth. He made him an hollow skin from the heart of an holy tree; He compassed the earth therein, and Man was the Lord of the Sea. He controlled the vigour of steam, he harnessed the lightning for hire: He drove the celestial team; and Man was the Lord of the Fire. Deep-mouthed from their thrones deep-seated, the choirs of the aeons declare The last of the demons defeated, for Man is the Lord of the Air. Arise, O man, in thy strength! the kingdom is thine to inher…

THE HOLY PLACE. 87 This horror of great darkness. I am come Into this darkness to attain the light : To gain my voice I make myself as dumb : That I may see I close my outer sight : So, I am Here. My brows are bent in prayer ; I kneel already in the Gates of Dawn ; And I am come, albeit unaware, To the deep sanctuary : my hope is drawn From wells profounder than the very sea. Yea, I am come, where least I guessed it so, Into the very Presence of the Three That Are beyond all Gods. And now I know What spiritual Light is drawing me Up to its stoo…

Roll, ye wild billows of ether ! the Sistron is shaken and sounds ! Wild and sonorous the clamour, vast in the region of death, Live with the Fire of the Spirit, the essence and flame of the breath !

ORPHEUS O curves unbeholden, Bright glory of bays! Deep gulfs grown golden With dawn and its ways! With sunset enfolden In silvery praise! Come forth! I invoke ye, O gulfs, where the sea is as children, and plays. THE Bays Where the hills reach to heaven behind…

My forehead , bathed in her forlorn Light, with her lips is met : My lips, that murmur in the morn , With lustrous dew are wet . My prayer is mighty with my will ; My purpose as a sword Flames through the adamant, to fill The gardens of the Lord With music , that the air be still , Dumb to its mighty chord . I stand above the tides of time And elemental strife : My fi…

Or shall He Rather defend us with His Holy Arm, We not presuming in our arrogance To come with cunning, and defend ourselves ? ELEAZAR. Nay, but God smites with sharpness of our swords, CHORUS. The sword is made sharp in our hands, but the point He shall guide; We grasp the tough ash of the spear, but His hand is beside ; We drive in a cloud at the foe, but His chariots ride Before us to sunder the spears.

THE HOLY PLACE. 93 “ Yet though he passed within And plunged within the deep, The seven palaces of sin, And slept the lonely sleep, Yet came He out alone : but then I thought I heard Them weep. “ He passed alone, above, Out of the Gates of Night ; Angels of Purity and Love Drew to my sound and sight. I heard Them cry that even there He fixed the eternal Light. “ I think beneath these groans, And laughters madness-born, Tears fell that might dissolve the stones That grind the accurséd corn. Beneath the deep, beneath the deep, may dwell the star …
