Moonchild

…ring, guitar in hand, below the terrace where she had been dedicated to the moon. He caught her [162] there alone, and called her by her name. She recognized him instantly; she had been violently attracted to him at the ball where they had originally met; and, until she had seen Cyril, regretted constantly that she had missed the opportunity. The memory of that thwarted desire sprang vehement upon her; but she was at the white heat of her passion for Cyril. Even so, she half hesitated; she wanted to keep Abdul on ice, so to speak, for a future …

The sea is pregnant with green stars ; the land, The sky, like lovers stand With kiss half-consciously exchanged, hand fast in hand. O lovers fair and free, the wings of peace Bear this voice onward ; linger as your will By moon-wrought glades, and softly murmuring seas, Lands white with summer, and the quiet leas ! Linger, and let no word of music thrill Your hearts ; young love is all the harp ye need…

…int of a worse thing yet. Olya! the golden bait Barbed with infinite pain, Fatal, fanatical mate Of a poisoned body and brain! Olya, the name that leers Its lecherous longing and knavery, Whispers in crazing ears The secret spell of her slavery. Horror indeed intense, Seduction ever intenser, Swinging the smoke of sense From the bowl of a smouldering censer ! Behind me, behind and above, © She stands, that mirror of love. Her fingers are supple-jointed ; Her nails are polished and pointed, And tipped with spurs of gold: With them she rowels the…

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

… masters were playing when I was seized with what may justly be described as a mystical experience. I seemed to be looking on at the tournament from outside myself. I saw the masters --- one, shabby, snuffy and blear-eyed; another, in badly fitting would-be respectable shoddy; a third, a mere parody of humanity, and so on for the rest. These were the people to whose ranks I was seeking admission. "There, but for the grace of God, goes Aleister Crowley," I exclaimed to myself with disgust, and there and then I registered a vow never to play anot…

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

…any and therefore had power to conduct the business. The youth indubitably possessed the virtue of doing nothing by halves. He forged my name to endorse cheques payable to me, cashed them and enjoyed the proceeds. I gasped. I liked the man and had no quarrel with him, but I could not exactly pretend not to notice incidents of this kind. I tackled him about it. He played the innocent and really he was fundamentally such a half-witted creature that I could not be angry. Unfortunately, there was something worse --- a matter that touched my honour.…

The Mother’s Tragedy

…ffocating poison that was air. O Pheedra! lend me of thy wickedness, Lest I go mad to contemplate myself ! I choke—I grope—TI fall! What name is this That strikes my spirit as a broken bell Struck by some devilish hammer? In my brain Reverberates some word impossible. O I am broken on the wheel of death ; My bones are ground in some infernal mill ; My blood is as the venom of a snake, Striking each vessel with unwonted pangs, Killing all good within me. I am—Ah! MADELINE. Dear friend, dear friend, seek comfort in my arms! Look to Our Lady of th…

I too was wounded : shameful runs the song. She nursed me through that melancholy long Month of despair : she won my life from death. Ah God ! she won that most reluctant breath Out of corruption : love ! ah ! love is strong ! What waters quench it ? King Shalomeh saith. I am the king : you know it, friend ! We wed. That is the tale of how my wooing sp…

A new curse gathered as a sombre breath : “ Power without Wisdom is the Name of Death ! ” And therefore from my devastating hand (for I was then unwilling to be dead) I loosed the lightning, and in hate and dread Despairing, did I break the royal wand. Mortal, a plaything for a thousand fears, I found the earth ; I found a lonely place To gaze for ever on the ocean’s face, Lamenting through the lamentable years ; Without a god, deprived of life and death, Sensible only to that som…

Millions of elders, prophets, preachers, Saints, martyrs, virgins, hermits, teachers, Angels, evangelists, apostles All singing like a lot of throstles All out of tune with one another, And every one a Plymouth Brother, With praise set heaven in a whirl.
