…, It needs no wine to be merry! I have bought for a wafer of bread A garden of poppies and clover; For a water bitter and dead A foam of fire flowing over. From the Lamb and his prison fare And the owl’s blind stupor, arise! Be ye wise, and strong, and fair, And the nectar afloat in your eyes! Arise, O ambrosial moon By the strong immemorial spell, By the subtle veridical rune That is mighty in heaven and hell! 213

…ar Crystalline, fixed, forgotten (as a star Forgets its nebulous virginity) Are set in all the sky and earth and sea. Shining with solar fire, The single-eyed desire Of scent and sound and sight and sense perfuses The still and lambent light Of the essential night ; And all the heart of me is fain, and muses, As if for ever doomed to dream Or pass in peace Lethean adown the grey Lethean stream. So deep the sense of beauty, and so keen ! ‘The calm abiding holiness of love Reigns; and so fallen from the heights above Stern and free, | Immeasurabl…

The lamps of heaven are dim while swords strike fire From rocks whose crests burn higher :— At their assault hell’s dogs gasp, totter, and expire All the gold gates are open of the East ; The rugged columns of the hills uphold A dome of changeless turquoise, and they feast, The sun’s lips, on the woods that have increased Since dawn with store of unimagined gold. The steam of many exhalations fair Sweetens the midday air ; Echo and tree and bud chant and gi…

…ing, Burning my blood with desire ; Aye, for I love, with a passion untamed, Love, like a tiger, unfed, unashamed, Love, like a river of fire. Love, like a fountain of diamonds, uprises, Striking the sky with its blossom of flame ; Falls in a rain of bright snow that surprises Dews of the grass with a sound of acclaim ; Singing, a silver-string lyre, Magical chants to awake from their prison Spirits to answer desire. Demons from palaces fiery arisen Now to obey us are dying ; All the old leaves of the winter fall fast, Swept by the wide-waving …

…r arms she flung Around him, and with amorous lips and tongue Tortured his palate with extreme desire, And like a Mænad maddened ; equal fire Leapt in his veins ; locked close for love they lie, The hearts dumb word exprest without a sigh In the strong magic of a lovers kiss, And the twin light of love ; but Archais Felt through her blood a sudden chill ; her face Blanched and besought a moments breathing space ; Her hearts desire welled up, and then again Whitened her cheeks with the exceeding pain Of uttermost despair. At last her strengt…

…e my Virgin Splendour ! I aspire No longer as a maiden to thy Love. We twain are set in majesty above : My cloud is mighty as thy mystic Fire.” Vanished the mist, the light, the sense, the throne ! Vanished the written horror of the curse ; Vanished the stars, the sun, the Universe. I was in Heaven, lost, alone. Alone ! 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…

…e, above me the mystical night, No dream so created in darkness was ever more fair. For then was thy touch as the light of a life-giving fire, Which kindles, and scorches, and burns, with unsated desire, Thy breath the warm essence of myrtle, the fragrance of pine, The languorous smoke of a temple obscene yet divine, Which gladdens the soul of a god in his passionate ire. So silent those nights, I could fancy the uttermost deep Engulfed us for ever,—for ever in silence to keep The tale of our wooing: till sweetly the murderous hours Had lulled …

…ODE TO VENUS CALLIPYGE Who like thyself shall command our ways ? Who has such pleasures and pains for hire ? Who can awake such a mortal fire In the veins of a man, that deathly days Have robbed of the masteries of desire ? Who can give garlands of fadeless bays Unto the sorrow and pain we praise ? Yea, we must praise, though the deadly shade Fall on the morrow, though fires of hell Harrow our vitals ; a miracle Springs at thy kisses, for thou hast made Anguish and sorrow desirable ; Torment of hell as the leaves that fade Quickly forgotten, de…

… of triumphant shapes. So, as the night grows deeper, and no moon Stirs the black heaven, no star its cloud escapes, I sit and watch the fire : my musing drapes My soul in darker dreams ; the storm’s wild tune Rolls ever deeper in my shuddering swoon : Whereat I start, shudder, and pull together My mind. Why, surely it must be the hour ! My friend is coming through the wet wild weather Across the moor’s inhospitable heather To the old stately tower—my own dear tower. He will not fail me for a sudden shower ! My friend ! How often have I longed …

…caught-up breath, The labouring hands of love, the cheeks of shame, The gloomy flame Of lust, the cruel torment of desire More than hell fire, And bid them fade, as if the bryony Let her flower die, And banished them through space, as if a star Dropped through the far Vault of the sky, and, as a lamp extinct With blood-red tinct, Went out. So lonely in mysterious night A wild, strange light Flickers around the sacred head of man, And bids him scan The scroll of heaven, and see if there be not, Black with no blot Of cloud, but golden lettered on…

…firmament of heaven which is not included in this pantacle, though it be but " eight inches in diameter, and in thickness half an inch." Fire is not matter at all; water is a combination of elements; air almost entirely a mixture of elements; earth contains all both in admixture and in combination. So must it be with this Pantacle, the symbol of earth. And as this Pantacle is made of pure wax, do not forget that "every- thing that lives is holy." All phenomena are sacraments. Every fact, and even every falsehood, must enter into the Pantacle; i…
