…ould scream and scream and scream and never stop. The wind is howling like that. The summer has died suddenly—without a warning, and the world is scream- ing in agony. It is only the echo of the wailing for my own lost soul. The angels never come to me now. Have I forfeited my position? I am conscious of nothing but this tearing, stabbing, gnawing pain, this restless raging trembling of the body, this malignant groping of a mad surgeon in the open wound of my soul. I am so bitter, bitter cold. Yet I can’t stand the room. Peter is lying helpless…

… the secret of the key : Sic pervenias. And he Went his wizard way, inweaving Dreams of things beyond believing. When he will, the weary world Of the senses closely curled Like a serpent round his heart Shakes herself and stands apart. So the hearts blood flames expanding, Strenuous, urgent, and commanding ; And the key unlocks the door Where his love lies evermore. She is of the faery blood ; All smaragdine flows its flood. Glowing in the amber sky To ensorcelled porphyry. She hath eyes of glittering flake Like a cold grey water-snake.

…this in the symbol. The perfect balance of all mental and moral faculties, hardly won, and almost impossible to hold in an ever‐changing world, de‐ clares the idea of Science in its fullest interpretation. The hilts of the Swords, which are very ornamental, are in the form of the hexagram. Their points touch the outer petals of a red rose upon a golden cross of six squares, thus showing the Rosy Cross as the central secret of scientific truth.

The Ghiter on the Snow 93 the most beautiful woman in the world for my wife, and that could only be done in the regular way by showing her off in the best dresses and the most wonder- ful jewellery. It was my duty to her as my wife, and I could afford it perfectly well because I was a tolerably rich man to start with anyhow, and besides, the five thousand I was putting into Feccles’ business would mean something like a quarter of a million at least, on the most conservative calculations, as I had seen with my own eyes. And that was all clear pr…

I06 THE WORLD’S TRAGEDY. ISSA Yes, lad, yes. — Tinged through with many-coloured bitterness ! For as I lay this night of hateful heat, The blow-flies buzzing, the eternal bleat Of strayed sheep, the intense malefic hum Of the accurst mosquito, the far drum Of the winged beetle, the reiterate stings Of fouler vermin, the hot breath that brings The sunset’s garlic to the midnight’s rose, The red whore’s writhings, clutches swift to close On this worn limb, exact the woman-debt To the last mite, the cold grey glutinous sweat — These things, I say,…

Aleister Crowley. THE PALACE OF THE WORLD . THE fragrant gateways of the Dawn 1 Teem with the scent of Aowers. The Mother , Midnight , has withdrawn Her slumberous kissing hours ; Day springs, with footsteps as a fawn , Into her rosy bowers. The pale and holy maiden horn In highest heaven is set. My forehead , bathed in her forlorn Light, with her lips is met : My lips, that murmur in the morn , With lustrous dew are wet . My prayer is mighty with my will ; My purpose as a sword Flames through the adamant, to fill The gardens of the Lord With m…

The Paris lights shone far and drear; The mist was down; the night was dank; The Seine ran easily underneath ; The air was chill : he knew the Seine 22

ACTUS TERTIUS 11 MEDEA. I will not leave him ever in the world. CHORUS. Persistence in these ills—will cure them not. “Worst” is the hunter, “ worse” the hound, when “ bad ” Is the stag’s name. MEDEA. We rule Iolchus’ land. CHORUS. Indeed the hunter follows. I despise Lewd conduct in the lowest, and detest Spells hurtful to the head, when ancient hags Brew their bad liquors at the waning moon, Barking their chants of murder. But to rule A land, and wive a king, and breed to him Kings—then such persons are unsuitable. MEDEA. Unless these words w…

By height and by hollow I’ll seek thee, O flower ! I’ll not turn back ! He pursues her. I’ll go on for ever. The strength of a giant Is in my limbs — He reels. My body is slack ; My muscles sever ; My limbs are pliant; My eyesight swims. Come to me ! Come to me ! Thee have I sought ! Thou that wast dumb to me, Come — I am nought ! Striving ever to follow her, he faints and falls. The girl st…

Richard Buxton . A MEMORY. u CORSE and the curving grass and the sun -heavy a ir were around us : All the world was asleep ; you and I were awake. Slowly the children crept to rest in the shadowy bushes, Slowly still the sun rose in the vacuous sky. Earth and air and our souls were faint in the heat of the noonday ; Slower and yet more slow moved your hand in my hair . Time stood still and the sun had paused his path in the heavens , Not a breath in the air ruffled the leaves of the bush . Even our hearts were still and the restless swarm of ou…

50 THE WORLD’S TRAGEDY. Whose lascivious appetite Is most swiftly set alight By their beauty or their wealth, By their passion or their weakness, In sheer lust of hate, it may be ; In the open or by stealth, By their slenderness or sleekness. For harlot worn and blubbing baby Nineteen centuries shall see Life run horizontally. 2ND NYMPH Soul shall follow body’s station. They shall cling to degradation, Dance to the clank of the chains that eat Deep ulcers in their fettered feet. Lock love the dove in a close cage, And loose the tiger marriage :…

World in thy music fadeth To what is scarce a sleep, Life’s darkest shadow shadeth Memories that chide and weep, Only delights grow clearer, More exquisite and nearer, And new life-arteries leap To fresh loves, into being, From blindness into seeing, Beyond God’s mountains steep. The words of promise spoken Flourish and flower unbroken, And for His holy token The mirror of the deep. Sing on, thou lyric lover, …

THE STORM Written on the North Atlantic Ocean. IN the sorrow of the silence of the sunset, when the world’s heart sinks to sleep, And the waking wind arises from the wedding of the aether and the deep, There are perfumes through the saltness of the even ; there are hints of flowers afar ; And the God goes down lamented by the lonely vesper star. The monsters rise around us as we move in moving mist, Slow whales that swim as musing, and lo ! or ever we wist, Looms northward in the grey, mysterious ice, cathedral high, Clad in transparent clouds …

…er before it can be said to exist. From that knowledge it must divine its destiny. It must then consider the political conditions of the world ; how other countries may help it or hinder it. It must then destroy in itself any éléments discordant with its destiny. Lastly, it must develop in itself those qualifies which will enable it to combat successfully the external conditions which threaten to oppose its purpose. We hâve had a recent example in the case of the young German Empire, which, knowing itself and its will, disciplined and trained i…
