Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

Aleister Crowley . For secret symbols on my brow , And secret thoughts within , Compel eternity to Now , Draw the Infinite within . Light is extended . I and Thou Are as they had not been . So on my head the light is one, Unity manifest ; A star more splendid than the sun Burns, for my crowned crest : Burns as the murmuring orison Of waters in the west. What angel from the silver gate Flames to my fierier face ? What angel, as I contemplate The unsubstantial space , Move with my lips the laws of Fate That bind earth 's carapace ? No angel, but …

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

172 THE EQUINOX Hail! on the altar of the awakening day ; Hail! in the temple of the night outworn By the vigils of the gods! Soft, secret Rose, I bear upon my breast the golden sign ; I wear thee on my breast, and I am thine— Light as the summer oak-leaves, gold as the god On the shimmering sea calling the winds to rest. Light, light be the earth upon thee, and below, Breath of the world unborn, long wave of song! Hail unto thee, and hail unto the star That bore thee! Hail! and hail! and hail! and hail Hail!

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

ROSA IGNOTA For the maidens that float In the heart of the river; And the secret note Sets the waves aquiver Till the naiads arise To hear the choir Of the star-lit skies, And the secret fire Of death and desire. And the rim of the flame Is pierced and torn With the spirits made tame By the breath of the morn, And the life of the fire That surges and swells From the swamp and the mire, From the million hells, And the one soft heaven Where meetly blooms The heart of the seven Supernal dooms. The water of life Still flashes and flows From the hea…

…h issues a serpent. The third totem, the scorpion, is not shewn in the picture, for the putrefaction which it represents is an extremely secret process. Beneath his chariot is the calm and stagnant water of a lake upon which rain falls heavily. The whole symbolism of this card is exceedingly complicated, for Scorpio is the most mysterious of the Signs, and the manifested portion of it symbolized by the eagle is in reality the least important part of his nature. The moral characteristics of the person pictured in this card are subtlety, secret v…

The Winged Beetle

159 THE WILD ASS I THE secret of the House of Set Is hidden in my sevenfold veil ; For I am he that doth beget The Rood, and bear the Holy Graal. Yet is my manhood woman-frail Barren my motherhood. Then how Shall men my mystic mountain scale ? These ram’s-horn thumbs jut from my brow To push them to the miry slough Wherein the foes of Set are caught. Come, let us pluck the Golden Bough From the brave Tree of life and thought ! Who heareth naught, he heedeth naught. Come, we are safely housed and shrined Where subtler images are wrought Than boa…

For secret symbols on my brow, And secret thoughts within, Compel eternity to Now, Draw the Infinite within. Light is extended. I and Thou Are as they had not been. So on my head the light is one, Unity manifest ; A star more splendid than the sun Burns for my crownéd crest ; Burns, as the murmuring orison Of waters in the west. What angel from the silver gate Flames to my fierier face ? What angel, as I contempla…

…ave failed to grasp the nature of the O.T.O. Its main raison d'etre, apart from social and political plans, is the teaching and use of a secret method of achieving certain results. This secret is a scientific secret ; it is guarded against betrayal or abuse by a very simple automatic arrangement . Its guardians cannot be "dying" any more than electricians as a class can be. lt is really difficult to answer your letters . You have got things so higgledy-piggledy.
