… over an excellent connoisseur, he was truly in- satiable of pleasure. Indifferent enough where men and morals were concerned, himself a true artist, he knew no enemy so dangerous as boredom, and the bizarre efforts that he made to flee from or to conquer that tyrant of the world would certainly have endowed him (on the page of a severe historian) with the epithet of monster; if in his dominions it had been permitted to write anything at all whose sole tendency was not towards pleasure, or towards wonder, which is one of the most delicate forms…

…ten sea, Their forehead consecrated with the dew, Their heart made mighty: let my voice decree, My spirit lift their standard: clear and true Bid my trump sound, “ Let all the earth be free!” With thine own strength and melody made strong, And filled with fire and light of thine own song. Only a boy’s wild songs, a boy’s desire, , I bring with reverent hands. The task is ended— The twilight draws on me: the sacred fire Sleeps: I have sheathed my sword, my bow un- bended : , So for one hour I lay aside the lyre, And come, alone, unholpen, unbefr…

…voice and touch, her face she bent, Lifted and kissed me—oh ! her lips were keen ! Her voice was softer than a virgin’s eyes : “ Go ! my true knight : for thither, thither lies The only road for thee ; thou hast a prayer Wafted each hour—my spirit will be there ! ” Too late I knew what subtle Paradise Her dreams and prayers portend : too fresh, too fair ! I turned more wretched than myself knew yet. I told my nameless pain I should forget Its shadow as it passed. The king did start, Gripped my strong hands, and held me to his heart, And could n…

… in the least abandoning the devout performance of its rites, while the Christian clung to irrelevant historical falsehood as if it were true and important. But it is justifiable : the first question by returning to our phrase ‘‘The Church that exteriorises is already lost.”” On that hypothesis, the decay of Paganism was accomplished by the very outward and visible sign of its inward and spiritual grace, the raising of massive temples to the Gods ina style and manner to which history seeks in vain a parallel. Security is —nay, urgent—to inquire…

…Now, quite early in the meditation practices, the Yogi is likely to get as a direct experience the consciousness that these laws are not true in any ultimate way. He has reached a world where intellectual conceptions are no longer valid; they remain true for the ordinary affairs of life, but the normal laws of thought are seen to be no more than a mere mechanism. A code of conventions. The students of higher mathematics and metaphysics have often a certain glimmering of these facts. They are compelled to use irrational conceptions for greater c…

…force the doctrine: ‘Look in your note-book and write.’ And like all doctrinaires, Mr. Pound is exposed to the besetting sin of the half-true or the maybe-true platitude. ‘The mastery of any art is the work of a lifetime, for example. How about the art of lyric poetry, how about Sappho and Keats and Swinburne’s early work? Again, we must have ‘direct treatment,’ Mr. Pound affirms, and we must ‘use absolutely no word that does not contribute to the presentation.’ Such pronouncements are either platitudes or untrue, they either mean nothing that …

If the Bible turns in a dextro-rotary manner the answer is “ yes”; if in the opposite direction, “no.” This sublime method of tearing out the heart of destiny is evidently derived from a slightly more elaborate one in the “Key of Solomon” (Book I., chap. ix.) for detecting theft, which is done with a sieve, and which I supposed (until “Adam” advised me to the contrary) to represent the low…

This Mass of the Holy Ghost is then the true Formula of the Magick of the Æon of Horus, blessed by He in His Name Ra- Hoor-Khuit! And thou shalt bless also the Name of our Father Merlin, Frater Superior of the O.T.O., for that by seven Years of Apprenticeship in His School did I discover his most excellent Way of Magick.

Yet this is not equal to the former two in Power to reveal thee to thy Self; and its first Use is to instruct thee in the true Method of Advancement in Knowledge, which is fundamentally, the Observation of the Like and the Unlike.

… Fire, interpret the thunder thereof as a still small voice in his heart. And the Fire shall reveal to his eyes his own image in its own true glorv; and it shall speak in his ears the Mystery that is his own right Name. This then is the virtue of the Magick of The Beast 666, and the canon of its proper usage: to destroy the tendency to discriminate between any two things in theory, and in practice to pierce the veils of every sanctuary, pressing forward to embrace every image ; for there is none that is not very Isis. The Inmost is one with the…

…Demogorgon, but a schoolmaster, not a victim or a priest. He has all the schoolmaster’s love of the chalk and the blackboard, he has the true pedagogic flair for dogma, the true pedagogic knack of rapping it out ‘clear and hard’ on the board, with the ‘expert’ touch under which the chalk never crumbles. No writer, you would think, could be more acceptable to the American mind, for no nation in the world believes in the schoolmaster and his methods as America believes in them, no nation venerates pedagogy so profoundly. ‘But what is the good of …
