Konx Om Pax

82 KONX OM PAX Alas! the days of Christ are gone: The callous King supports the snub: Campaspe’s lips gush Lethe on The schoolboy-trickster in the Tub.

Mr. Jones,…

The Banned Lecture

GILLES DE RAIS Long ago when King Brahmadatta reigned in Benares, a gentleman whose Christian names were Thomas Henry—you may possibly have heard of him—he was no less a personage than the Grand- father of the great Aldous Huxley—once found himself threatened by a predicament similar to that in which I stand tonight. He had been asked to lecture a distinguished group of people. What bothered him was this : what assumption was he to make about the existing knowledge of the audience ? He adopted the sensible course of asking the advice of an old …

And all the light is over ; but the sky Shudders with blanched light of the unrisen moon. The night-birds mingle their sad minstrelsy For daylight’s requiem : and the sea’s reply Now stirs across the land’s departed tune. The moon is up : the choral crowd of stars, Shapen like strange or unknown animals, Move in their measure : beyond fiolian bars The clustering winds, moving as nenuphars, Gather and mus…

Collected Works (Vol. II)

…EISTER CROWLEY.* Ir isa lamentable circumstance that so many colossal brains (W. H. Mallock, &c.) have been hitherto thrown away in attacking what is after alla problem of mere academic interest, the authorship of the plays our fathers accepted as those of Shakespeare.
