Thus shall equilibrium become perfect. I will aid my disciples; as fast as they acquire this balanced power and joy so faster will I push them. 43. They shall in their turn speak from this Invisible Throne; their words shall illumine the worlds. 44. They shall be masters of majesty and might; they shall be beautiful and joyous; they shall be clothed with victory and sp…

Now the weary horse Stumbles with thundering strides along the last Furlong, and greets us with a joyous neigh As if he understood the victory. But look you, Enter Second Messenger. SECOND MESSENGER. Rejoice, O Israel, for this day hath seen Utter destruction overtake, and death Ride furious over, trampled necks of men Desperate in vain; hath seen red hell gape wide To swallow up the heathen.

Why Jesus Wept

…among the puerile apologists of your detestable reli- gion you hold a reasonably mystic head above the tides of criti- cism. You are the last champion of God ; with you I choose to measure myself. Others I can despise ; you are a force to be reckoned with, as Browning your intellectual father was before you.

Thus at last they come, as did the Manichæans, to find, to their Terror, a Division even in the one, not that Division which we know for the Craft of Love, but a Division of Hate. And this, multiplying itself, Conflict upon Conflict, endeth in Hotchpot, and in the Impotence and Envy of Choronzon, and in the Abominations of the Abyss. And of such the Lords are the Black Brothers, who seek by their Sorceries to confirm …

Who will deliver. brake, Lone wood, and sleepy lake, Are peopled with bright shapes that sing for freedom’s sale. Deliverers are found Mountain, stream, and Rocks, and pale fountains, and tall trees that quiver, And all the clouds that deck the sunset sky Move like the music of a mighty river Where ripples break, and rapids gleam and shiver, And calm rebuilds her empire by-and- by.

Thrombonosis super- vened; with one last gasp of “Rabboni, that is to say, Master!” the dying saint clenched his moribund grasp on Crowley’s neck; the word “ periphrasticalism” burst rather than sobbed from his labia, and the thanatogenous hagio- cratist halated his ultimate. Neuburg, as one inspired, uttered his Morte d’Arthur. Poor old Waite is gone to hell. He will soon begin to smell : We must meddle with him, s¢atim. Let us not incinerate h…
