238 THE EQUINOX Far into the fire she cast the blood, And the flames grew twisted and red; Her breast heaved with her passion’s flood As a hollow-eyed ghost arose Like a cloud of stench from the rotting dead When a wind from a pest-house blows. She clasped the ghost to her skinny dugs,— No other love might she know,— The dead man squirmed at her panting hugs, But she had her passionate will, And a sobbing breeze began to blow From the top of the lonely hill. And then a dim grey streak of dawn Came, and the sad ghost fled, With staring sockets a…

…Study in Magic and Religion (1890, 1911-15). See Works Cited.] 2 Zeus obtained Air for his kingdom in the partition with Hades, who took Fire, and Poseidon, who took Water. Shu is the Egyptian God of the Firmament. There is a great difficulty here, etymologically. Zeus is connected with iao, Abrasax, and the Dental Sibilant Gods of the Greater Mysteries, with the South and Hadit, Adad, Set, Saturn, Adonai, Attis, Adonis; he is even the “Jesus,” slain with the Lance, whose blood is collected in a Cup. Yet he is also to be identified with the opp…

…the sea. The shadows creep More on me as I quicken with desire My love is all of gold, my faith is deep Lit with my heart’s imperishable fire. 3 Pale spectres of the stars, corpse-lights, bad-ghosts Sicken the icy glamour of the moon Upon the vacant earth ; and where the sea Marshals sepulchral billows, obscene hosts Of harpies gibber weirdly. I should swoon For the silence, rolled not some dread minstrelsy In fearful anguish on the shuddering air, Breathing out terror and lightning to the night That wildly echoes back Hell’s venomous spite, An…

…gotten reed Floated away, a ship for fairy folk, Along the limpid rivulet. Then broke From smitten heart and ravished lips the tongue Of fire that clad its essence with the robe of song. SONG OF CHARICLES O fountains of pale sapphire, and clear green, O hills of purple, and ye olive vales, Being music to my wing, and echo seen Of no man being, for now my spirit fails To shrill its clearest notes, and golden gales Of sound, and breezes of delighted sighs. Bring music, hear me chant the world that is, And how Loves ambush in all nature lies, And…

…t her best friends without intelli‐ gible excuse. Also, when she misses her bite, she breaks her jaw! In the Yî King, the watery part of Fire is represented by the 17th hexagram, Sui. It indi‐ cates reflection upon impulse, and the consequently even flow of action. There is great capac‐ ity for lucid conception and steady prosecution of work; but this is only at the bidding, and under the guidance, of some creative mind. There is a tendency to be fickle, even disloyal; the ideas which she obeys make no deep or permanent impression. She will “cl…

… till Love is degraded to guilty grov elling. They are dragged in the dirt of the night-cart which ought to have been their “chariot of fire and the horses thereof.”1 1 [II Kings 2:11, paraphrase.] This whole trouble comes from humanity’s horror of Love. For the last hundred years, every first-rate writer on morals has sent forth his lightnings and thunders, hailstones and coals of fire, to burn up Gomorrah and Sodom where Love is either shameful and secret, or daubed with dung of sentiment in order that the swinish citizens may recognize thei…

… star? No shape seen on the sea? Were I now free of this intense desire, By swift magician power I might fly westward shod with wings of fire And find my love, and in her arms expire, Or wed her for an hour.

XXXVI THE DESIRE OF PAINTING UNHAPPY perhaps is the man, but happy is the artist whom desire tears in pieces. I am on fire to paint her who appeared to me so rarely and who fled so quickly, like a beautiful, regrettable thing which the traveller, borne away into the night, leaves behind him. How long it is since she disappeared. She is beautiful, and more than beautiful. She is surprising. In her black abounds, and every thought that she inspires is of night and the abyss. Her eyes are two caverns where mystery sparkles vaguely, and her glance …

Her hands between Lies the wild world; she flies From agony to agony of desire, CALLIOPE. Him, Orpheus, him she sings; Loosing the living strings, Till music fledged fares forth sunward on moon-wrought wings. LESBIAN SHORE. Yea, by the solar name, Orpheus her lips acclaim, The centre and the silence! O! the torrent of fine flame Like hair that shooteth forth To the ensanguine North Whence ran the…

…T OF THE PROFANE. 19 Anon, and I am driven out In desert places by desire ; My mouth is salt and dry ; I doubt If hell hath such another fire ; If God’s damnation can devise A lust to match these agonies. The desert wind my body burns, The voice of flesh consumes my soul ; My body towards the city turns, My spirit seeks its fierier goal ; In wells of heaven to quench my thirst, And take God’s hand among the first. I conquered self, I grew at last A prophet chosen of the Lord ; I blew the trumpet’s iron blast That called on Zimri Omri’s sword ; …

…the Great One, and the Nameless Name, Held in their grip the child, Eternity. Silence and Darkness in their womb withheld That spiritual fire, and brooded still : Nature and Time, their soleness undispelled. Ever awaiting the eternal Will. And Law was unbegotten : uttermost Night Dwelt, inaccessible to sound and sight ; Shielded from Voice, impervious to Light. Then grew within the barren womb of this The Breath of the Eternal and the Vast, Softer than dawn, and closer than a kiss— And lo ! the chaos and the darkness passed ! At the creative si…

154 THE CAMP FIRE IN MEMORIAM A. C. S. The meer is haunted, berylline that lies Upon the enchaunted moor, bare to the skies. Far as the eye leaps, there is nothing seen But Mystery, the horizon hungry and lean Like a slim snake encompassing the air. Subtly the lake woos, like a virgins prayer. No moon there was ; no stars could pierce the blind Oertoppling mass of heaven ; there was no wind. There was no man, no beast ; no sound or sight Broke thy swart span, O brooding vulture, Night ! Where the tarn dwindled, was lost altogether, I piled, I…

…ting she is sometimes distinguished from her mother by inserting a small point in the letter.) This is also a reference to the elements, fire, water, air, earth. I may go further, and say that all possible existing things are to be classed as related to one or more of these elements for convenience in certain operations. But these four letters, though in one sense they represent the eternal framework, are not, so to speak, original. For instance, when we place Tetragrammaton on the Tree of Life, the Ten Sephiroth or numbers, we do not include t…
