The Holy Books

…ther use; let it be laid before me, and kept thick with perfumes of your orison: it shall become full of beetles as it were and creeping things sacred unto me. 26. These slay, naming your enemies; and they shall fall before you. 27. Also these shall breed lust and power of lust in you at the eating thereof. 28. Also ye shall be strong in war. 29. Moreover, be they long kept, it is better; for they swell with my force. All before me. 30. My altar is of open brass work: burn thereon in silver or gold! 27

Mortadello

…LESSANDRO. Yes, but he’s lewd as lewd ! It’s all you need, in sum ! LUCREZIA. And you’re as rude as rude ! ALESSANDRO. I’m sorry ; those things come Like lightning. Is there none makes head against him still ? LUCREZIA. Of course, there is the one. ALESSANDRO. That girl ! LORENZO. O miracle Of heaven, a virgin sent from heaven in purest pity With innermost intent to save our hapless city. O Monica ! the meek and mystic eremite ! ALESSANDRO. No gardeners ?

Thus a burning Forest causes chemical Change by Combustion, and giveth Heat and Motion to the Air about it by the Operation of physical Laws, and exciteth thought and Emotion in the Man whom it reacheth through his Organs of Perception.

The Mother’s Tragedy

…both are worthy to be loved. Ah Fate! if thou hadst cast the dies Whence no appeal, in any other wise! I am the soul of the grim face of things; Mine are the Sphinx’s wings; Mine own life lives with this event! Yet even I, its very self, lament The execrable tyranny, The rayless misery Of this wild whirlpool sea of circumstance. Mine old eyes look askance: It is my punishment to dwell In mine own self-created hell. [CORA vushes in. MADELINE. What curse of God hath smitten you? I see Exceeding horror in abiding shape, Blasting the countenance of…

…d and those parts Have twisted lips and twisted hearts , And Barton men make cockney rhymes , And Coton 's full of nameless crimes , And things are done you 'd not believe , At Madingley , on Christmas Eve . Strong men have run for miles and miles , When one from Cherry Hinton smiles ; Strong men have blanched , and shot their wives , Rather than send them to St . Ives ; Strong men have cried like babes , bydam , To hear what happened at Babraham . But Grantchester ! ah, Grantchester ! There 's peace and holy quiet there , Great clouds along pa…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

…deepest problems of humanity. The science of Thelema is orthodox; it has no false theo- ries of Nature, no false fables of the origin of things. The psychology and ethics of Thelema are perfect. It has destroyed the damnable delusion of Original Sin, making every one unique, independent, supreme, and sufficient. The Law of Thelema is given in the Book of the Law. [Equrnox I, VII and X.] Tue Egurnox has been founded to promulgate and demonstrate this Law. 9

Oracles

…desired above All loves of hell or heaven, supremely wed, Knit in one soul in one delicious bed More hot than hell, more wicked than all things, Vast in our sin, whose unredeeming wings Rise o’er the world, and flap for lust of death, Eager as any one that travaileth ; So in our lust, the monstrous burden borne Heavy within the womb, we wait the morn Of its fulfilment. Thus eternity Wheels vain wings round us, who may never die But cling as hard as serpent’s wedlock is, One writhing glory, an immortal kiss.

Orpheus

I have but conjured up the fiend that most I trusted to abolish: all my toii Goes to give rest to life, and build anew These pinnacles of pain, Cupola upon cupola; the soil To comfort, to avail, to assoil with dew, To build the year again. 83

Ambergris

…r resounding throne Of the mountain spirits strong, All the treacherous souls that throng Desolate abodes of stone, Barren of all comely things, Given to the splendid kings, Gloomy state, and glamour dark, Swooping jewel-feathered wings, Eyes translucent with a spark Of the world of fire, that swings Gates of adamant below Lofty minarets of snow. Thence the towering flames arise, Where the flashes white and wise Find their mortal foe. Let us thither, caring not Anything, or any more, Since the sorrow of our lot Craves to pass the abysmal door. …
