30 Do You Believe in God? Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. You are quite right , as usual. True, we have gone over a great deal of the ground in various learned disquisitions on Gods, Angels, Elves, et hoc genus omne. But God with a capital G in the singular is a totally different pair of Bluchers-nicht wahr? Let me go back just for a moment to the meaning of belief.

100 THE GROWTH OF GOD Thus, till the monster-birth of serpent-man Linked in corruption with the serpent-woman, Slavering in lust and pain—creation’s ban. The horrible beginning of the human. The savage monkey leaping on his mate; The upright posture for sure murder taken ; The gibberings modified to spit out hate. Struggle to manhood—surely God-forsaken. The bestial cause of Morals—fear and hate. At last the anguish-vomit of despair, The growth of reason—and its pangs abate No whit: the knife replaces the arm bare. Fear grows, and torment; and …

Behold the lightning-‘5 jagged flash Spell out the signal with its las…

[119] LIMERICKS ADVENT God is coming in the air ; Marys cunt is on his face. With her hands she frigs apace ; All the angels stand and stare. Jesus sniggers Ah, mon père ! Cherubs whisper See them race ! God is coming in the air ; Marys cunt is on his face. Now the Ghost is in despair. Did he pity Josephs case ? Now a perfume fills the place, And the heavenly host declare God is coming in the air.

Who as a father smitest with thy rod Thine erring children who aspire In vain to the high mysteries Of thy most secret fire. Beat us and burn with …

There is One God alone, and God is exceeding great. He is about us, and there is no strength save in Him the exalted, the great. 2. Thus did V. V. V. V. V. become mad, and wend about naked. 3. And all these things fled away, for he understood them all, that they were but as old rags upon the Divine Perfection. 4. Also he pitied them all, that they were but reflections distorted. 5. …

…of things, is impossible. Such is the profound reason of the apparent absurdity of symbolism. Let us give an example: If faith said that God was impersonal, one might conclude that God is only a word, or, at most, a thing. If it is said that God was a person, one would represent to oneself the intelligent infinite, under the necessarily bounded form of an individual. It says, ‘‘God is one in three persons,” in order to express that one conceives in God both unity and multiplicity. The formula of a mystery excludes necessarily the very intellige…

Accurst, detestable, In which I laugh with hell, And furies chant the knell Of all things clean. Ah God ! the shapes that throng ! Ah God ! what eyes ! The souls grown sharp and strong That my lips made their prize, The ruined souls, the wrecks Of bodies fair of flecks Long since, ere God did vex My soul with sacrifice. Pale youth and bloodless maiden Whose breasts have bled, With wrath or mercy laden, By love or terror led, Reproachful or reviling, Some pure and some defiling, Some fearful and some smiling, Some living and some dead. 83
