…worms that burrow in thy brain Writhe with delight; thy rotten body teems With all infesting vermin, as beseems The mirror of an obscene mind. In vain Thy misbegotten brutehood shirks the pain Of its avenging leprosies: death steams In all thy rank foul atmosphere: the gleams Of phosphorescent putrefaction wane. Thy sordid hands reach through the filth to snatch The offal money of a prurient swarm. Thy liar’s tongue licks liquid dung to hatch From fetid ulcers with its slimy warm Venom some fouler vermin, in their nest Thy rotten heart and thy …

…ive thought, From problems bewildering the brain, Deep lights beyond heaven unsought, Dead faces seen dimly in rain ; From the depths of Mind’s caverns, the fire Reclaims the old magical lyre; The ways of creation are nought, If only, O mother, O Muse, I may measure Thy melodies in me again ! How wayward, how feeble the child Three watched from the stars at his birth ; Erato the fierce and the mild ; Polymnia grave ; and the girth Broad-girdled of gold and desire, Melpomene’s terrible lyre, That lifts up her life in the wild, The star-piercing …

…n into a marble face , All his imagination feeds From contours moulded by his skill , And the reflected glow exceeds The parent spark of mind and will . Once more all earth and heaven were strange , Strange to the sea the river flowed ; But not as on that primal change , When panic launched a quivering goad , And pricked each naked newborn sense , And drove me with the flail of fear Out of the wastes of impotence To build foul temples of despair . 116

…ellent restaurant service. , I found that during the day I had had fifteen sniffs of heroin. Lou had only had eleven. The reaction in my mind was this: If she can get on with eleven, why shouldn’t I? though I hadn’t sufficient logic to carry on the argument to the people, millions of them, who hadn’t had any at all, and seemed to be thriving ! We were both pretty tired. Just as Lamus and Lala rose to leave I took a final sniff. ‘‘ What did you do that for ? ” he said, “ if you don’t mind my asking.” “Well, I think it was to go to sleep!” “ But …

… I have seen nothing, heard nothing, I said. Not one thought has passed from you to me. But at that very moment what had been in his mind flashed into mine. It is a blind abyss, I told him, and there hangs in it a vulture vaster than the whole starry system. Yes, he said, that was it. But that was not all. I could not get beyond it. I shall try again. He tried. Again I was cut off from his thought, al- though his face was twitching so that one might have said that any one might read his mind. I have been looking in the wrong place,…

Behold! it entereth not into the heart, nor into the mind of man to conceive this matter; for the sickness of the body is death, and the sickness of the heart is despair, and the sickness of the mind is madness. But in the outermost Abyss is sickness of the aspiration, and sickness of the will, and sickness of the essence of all, and there is neither word nor thought wherein the image of its image is reflected. And whoso passeth into the outermost Abyss, except …

…ile are those whose prejudices are Freudian in character, who "compound for sins that they're inclined to, By damning those they have no mind to." Perhaps we have now relaxed enough; we see that the "Holy man" is not such a fool as he looks; and we may get on with our excursions into the "morality" of the Law of the New Aeon, which is the Aeon of Horus, the crowned and conquering child; and-"The word of the Law is eEAHMA ." 3. So much of The Book of the Law deals directly or indirectly with morals that to quote relevant passages would be merely…

…tion without retaining any. It becomes poisonous when its oxygen is defiled by passing through human lungs. There is a peculiar frame of mind necessary to successful divination. The conditions of the problem are difficult. It is obviously necessary for the mind of the diviner to be concentrated absolutely upon his question.

…ot the benign, solar intoxication of Dionysus, but the dreadful mad‐ ness of pernicious drugs; this is a drunkenness of sense, after the mind has been abolished by the venom of this Moon. This is that which is written of Abraham in the Book of the Beginning: “An horror of great darkness came upon him.” One is reminded of the mental echo of subcon‐ scious realization, of that supreme iniquity which mystics have constantly celebrated in their accounts of the Dark Night of the Soul. But the best men, the true men, do not consider the matter in suc…

118 The Law is for All casual, our minds would still insist that casuality itself was the effect of some cause. Our daily experience hammers home this conviction; and a man’s mental excellence seems to be measurable almost entirely in terms of the strength and depth of his apprecia tion thereof as the soul of the structure of the Universe. It is the spine of Science which has vertebrated human Knowledge above the slimy mollusc whose principle was Faith. We must not suppose for an instant that The Book of the Law is opposed to reason.

How may one reconcile the doctrine of Mind with the fact that Ruh, or Ruach, actually means Spirit itself? “Achath Ruach Elohim Chum” (777) means “One is the Spirit (not Air) of the Gods of the Liv‐ ing”? And is not Air, the element attributed to Mercury, also most properly the Breath of Life, the Word, the Logos itself?

…rom flesh, and bone from bone, And raise me spiritual, changed In all but love for you, my own; The little matter rearranged, The little mind refigured. This Alone I hope or think to keep :— The love I bear you, and the kiss Too soft to call the breath of sleep. And, if you are woman, even there I do decline : we stand above. I ask not, and will take no share With you in what mankind call love. We know each other: you and I Have nought to do with lesser things. With them—'tis chance or destiny : With us, we should but burn our wings. 64
