… Pure from the flame ? yet grant to us the scourge But spare the bolt in Thine uplifted hand . Great God , Who dost not doom the sins of men With cold , grey justice of a human eye , Have not our fathers glorified Thy name ? Hath she no service yet ? O grant us then This respite , gracious Lord , or else to die Before our dear , dear country owns her shame . 213
…e no longer any doubt of his complete insanity ; for three weeks he had been raving with absinthe and satyriasis. He survived his confinement no long time ; the burning of the asylum with its in-mates was one of the most terrible events of the war of 1870. So died one of the most talented Englishmen of his century, a man who for wide knowledge of men and things was truly to be envied, yet one who sold his birthright for a mess of beastlier pottage than ever Esau guzzled, who sold soul and body to Satan for sheer love of sin, whose mere lust of …
such a way that he automatically bases every action of his daily life on its principles. (This is true of practically all men, whatever their race, caste, or creed.) This universally accepted basis of conduct is Science. 6. Science has attained this position because it makes no assertion that it is not prepared to demonstrate to all- comers. (This part is so well understood that all the false prophetsSpiritualism, Christian Science, eth- nological cranks, Great Pyramid puzzle-mongers, and the rest of the humbugsall pretend to appeal to evid…
"MONSTERS" 443 corporatively, below the level of the worst of the individuals composing it. Collect scholars on a club committee, or men of science on a jury; all their virtues vanish, and their vices pop out, reinforced by the self-confidence which the power of numbers is bound to bestow. It is peculiarly noticeable that when a class is a ruling minority, it acquires a detestation as well as a contempt for the surrounding "mob." In the Northern States of U.S.A., where the whites are overwhelming in number, the 'nigger' can be more or less a "r…
…enable us to dispense with initiative on the one hand and actual transactions on the other. 34. But ye, o my people, rise up & awake! Commentary: We are not to calculate, to argue, to criticize; these things lead to division of will and to stagnation. They are shackles of our Going. They hamstring our Pegasus. We are to rise up—to Go—to Love—we are to be awake, alert — Joyous and eager Our tresses adorning, O let us beleaguer The City of Morning!1 1 Crowley, The World’s Tragedy (1910), p. 31, paraphrase; the original poem has “O let us away to …
THE SEVENTH DAY “ This word ‘ love,’ which greybeards call divine, Be resident in men like one another And not in me : I am myself alone.” 3 Henry VI. Therefore I burnt the wicked pantacle, And cast my love behind me once again. I mused upon the mystery of pain, Where the Gods taught me by another spell Not chosen from the armoury of Hell, But given of Mercury to cleanse the stain Of the old planet : thus I wrote me plain Secrets divine—tremendous, terrible ! Thus I forgot my soul and dwelt alone In the strong fortress of the active mind Whose …
XXII THESE portraits, darling, are they yours? And yet there sticks the vital fact That these, as you, are women. Lures The devil of the inexact With subtle leasing? Nay! O nay! I'll catch him with a cord, draw out By a bent fish-hook through his snout, Give to my maiden for a play. You, they, and dinner and—what else ?— However unlike, coincide In composition verified Of final protoplasmic cells. Shall this avail to stagger thought, Confuse the reason, bring to nought The rosebud, in reflecting: Hem! What beauty hath the flower and stem? Carbo…
…e swift and glittering bride ? The bride that clings as a snare with springs To the warrior’s stricken side? A shudder struck the hidden men As the maniac’s mouthings ceased. Then, kindling, rose a roar: ‘‘ Spread, spread the furtive feast ! The wine of agony pour! The fruit of valour pluck! The meat of murder suck! ‘* Sweet are the songs of her throat ! Soft are the strokes of her fan! 83
…ing armour! Here’s a posy, here’s a garland, here’s a chain of daisies! Here’s a charmer! There’s a charmer ! Praise the God that crazes men, the God that raises All our lives to ecstasy !” Sir Palamedes was too wise To mock their gentle wooing; He smiles into their sparkling eyes While they his armour are undoing. “ For who” (quoth he) “ may say that this Is not the mystery I miss?” Soon he is gathered in the dance, And smothered in the flowers.

…dares to force the fiery gate May win our world inviolate. Children whose hearts are passionate; Maidens whose flesh is fair and fain, And men whose souls no senses stain, Come! These mad miles of flame of ours Are cool as springs and fresh as flowers. xxix

KE®AAH O08 THE BAL BULLIER Some men look into their minds into their shame. These then proclaim ‘‘The Good Law” unto mankind. These preach renunciation, ‘‘ virtue,” cowardice in every form. These whine eternally. Smug, toothless, hairless Coote, debauch-emas- culated Buddha, come ye to me? I havea trick to make you silent, O ye foamers-at- the mouth! Nature zs wasteful; but how well She can afford it! Nature zs false; but I’m a bit of a liar myself. Nature zs useless; but then how beautiful she is! Nature zs cruel; but I too am a Sadist. The ga…
…he and devour as coals, And God is wroth because of thee, to break The spirit of our pride, our lips to make Keverent toward thee, as of men ashamed. And now we pray thee for our children’s sake, and thine own pity’s sake, to come untamed, And furiously to ride against our foes, To be our leader, till one sanguine rose Spread from thy standard awful leaves of blood, And thy swords pour their long insatiate flood Through ranks of many dead! then, then to close The wounds of all the land, and bid it bud And blossom ; as when two-and-thirty men, T…
His name, he approaches the solution of the ultimate problem, Who he himself truly is. Unto this final statement the Adept may trust his Angel to lead him; for the Tiphereth-consciousness alone is connected by paths with the various parts of his mind. 1 None therefore save He hath the knowledge requisite for calculating the combinations of conduct which will organise and equilibrate the forces of the Adept, against the moment when it becomes necessary to confront the Abyss. The Adept must control a compact and cohérent mass if he is to make sur…

The old men gradually understand, and fill the atr with incoherent lamentations. BehindJephthah the soldiers, with white lips, have assumed their military formation, and stand at atten- tion by a visible effort of self-control.
…d us a confused and angry mob; he left us a diverse, yet harmonious, republic; while let us never forget that not only have we developed men of genius in every branch of practical life, but many among us have had our equilibrium crowned by that supreme glory of humanity, realization of our identity with the great and holy Tao." Wherewith he set aside no less than three hundred and sixty-five days in every year, and one extra day every fourth year, as days of special rejoicing.
36 CONTRA CONJUGIUM T. B. B. Thou wouldst not do. And shall the King Of Kings do only what men ask ? Thou empty mask ! “ Repentance is too late, lost fool, Dead flower, salt fountain, rusty sword, This curse is on thee for thy dule, That thou shalt know and be assured I am the Lord.” The loud-voiced choir would drown in song The voice of God ; their music woke Echoes through chancel weird and long— In thunder and fierce fire and smoke Jehovah spoke. “ On with the farce ! My perjured priests, The wolves that raven through my flock, Nay, wolves i…
