…the impatient blood Spurts at the furious kiss, darts far forth as an adder, Stinging and biting amain, as the night becomes golden with fire. Dawn brings reason back, and the violet eyes grow sadder, Eyes that were red in the dark, eyes of enfevered desire. Eyes that wrote songs with a glance, whose look sang the sweetest of stories,
…he Sword of Thee smiting before. In the hour of Revolt that burns nigher Each hour as it leaps to the sky, We look to Thee, Lord for Thy Fire ; We look—shall Thy Justice deny ? Well, can we not die ? But Thou, Thou shalt fall from the heaven As hail on the furious host. I see them : their legions are driven ; Their cohorts are broken and lost. 23
… THE BLOOD-LOTUS Why art thou paler when the moon grows loftier in the troublous sky ? Why dost thou beat and heave when I press lips of fire, hell’s princeliest boon, To thy mad petals, green and gold like angels’ wings, when as a flood God’s essence fills them, and the blood throughout their web grows icy cold ? To thy red centre are my eyes held fast and fervent, as at night Some sad miasma lends a light of strange and silent blasphemies To lure a soul to hell, to draw some saint’s charred lust, to tempt, to win Another sacrifice to sin, ano…
…planes. It seems worth while to record a few of these. They afford a clear indication of my progress at this time. In bed, I invoked the Fire angels and spirits on the tablet, with names, etc., and the 6th Key. I then (as Harpocrates) entered my crystal. An angel, meeting me, told me, among other things, that they (of the tablets) were at war with the angels of the 30 Aethyrs, to prevent the squaring of the circle. I went with him unto the abodes of fire, but must have fallen asleep, or nearly so. Anyhow, I regained consciousness in a very sing…
…ooks. SCENE V SIR PERCY PERCIVALE, on Wastwater. God, I have rowed ! My hands are one blister ; By arms are one ache ; But my brain is a fire, As erst on the fell, In the hall ; let me dive To the under-abode, Where the sweet-voiced sister

…and night apart, . Know not where frost has laid his iron hand, Save only that it fastens on my heart ; Save only that it grips with icy fire These veins no fire of hell could satiate; Save only that it quenches this desire. Let me pass out beyond the city gate.’ © We should like to give other examples, but we can only name some of those pieces that seem to us the most remarkable. Such are ‘An II] Dream,’ of which the glowing imagery seizes and holds fast the vagueness of shifting impressions; a ‘ Farewell of Paracelsus to Aprile,’ containing s…

… They call me not to birth - bed throes ; Invoke me not with gold and rose ; The summer wanes , the summer grows , They call me not from fire or snows . I linger by the cottage - door When twilight sings of sorrow ; I Ait around the gorse - strewn moor , And all the gold I borrow . But in mine eyes my doom is set , Yea ! in their golden - glooming fret Is woven the divine regret , And ah ! my birth - time is not yet . 150

In what far land Shall I weave thee a garland That shall contain thee, And shall not contain thee? That shall restrain thee, And shall not restrain thee? 137

…f the night, Pause now while ye may In your heavenly flight! Give answer and say, Have I called ye aright? Are the strings of my lyre as fire, the voice of my singing as light? THE Hours Darkness and daylight in divided measure Gather as petals of the sunflower, In many seasons seek the lotus-treasure, Following as dancing maidens, mute for pleasure, The fervent flying footsteps of the Hour. The sun looks over the memorial hills, The trampling of his horses heard as wind ; He leaps and turns, and all his fragrance fills The shade and silence; a…
… fast, Surrendered never ! this delight the Venus-throw hath surely cast.3 Jehannum shall exclaim “ Habib ! ” and light inform its murky fire, Entrancing all the ghouls4 to love, waking the Shaitans to desire ! Rejoicing souls in Paradise shall spurn the Hur al Ayn5 with ire, Opening their lips in pangs of woe, offering their souls in pawn to hire ! Men from the utmost desert lands shall spur their steeds through sand and mire, Even to look upon the face immortal from this lewdly lyre. Perfect, Habib, my magic song ; perfect our loves for ever …

Thou has a guerdon, is it not for hire ? ” Fame brought a golden crown, bejewelled o’er With precious rubies beyond price, and cried “ The world is young, thy name shall evermore Ring in men’s ears, stately and glorified ” But I, with shuddering lips, to him replied “ Fame is the amaranth that fools desire My soul’s price is beyond thy jewels’ pride Th…

PROLOGUE. THE EXILE. “ The Sun, surmounted by a red rose, shining on a mossy bank.” VER the western water lies a solar fire, Rapt lives and drunken ecstasies of sad desire ; Poppies and lonely flag-flowers haunt the desolate Marsh-strand : the herons gaunt still contemplate What was delight, is ruin, may breed love again, Even as darkness breeds the day : when life is slain. * * * * * * * O who will hear my chant, my cry ; my voice who hear, Even in this weary misery, this danker mere, Me, in mine exile, who am driven from yonder mountains Blue…
…ire!” (Quod he). “Iam come unto the end. All mine intent and my desire, My quest, mine oath—all, all is done. Burn them with me in fatal fire! For I have failed. All ways, each one I strove in, mocked me. If I quailed Or shirked, God knows. I have not won: That and no more I know. I failed.” King Arthur fell a-weeping. Then Merlin uprose, his face unveiled;
…o the prayer which arises therefrom. The formula of this invocation of Thoth may also be classed under Tetragrammaton. The first part is fire, the eager prayer of the magician, the second water, in which the magician°listens to, or catches the reflection of, the god. The third part is air, the marriage of fire and water; the god and the man hâve become one; while the fourth part corresponds to earth, the condensa¬ tion 01 matenalization of those three highcr principles. With regard to the Hebrew formulae, it is doubtful whether inost magicians …
