…uction to all things that were ! IV Child, father, warrior, I worshipped Thee before ; Friend, bridegroom, now I yield me to the rod. My God, and very God of very God As breath, as death, as all, as naught, unknown, Known, is there not an end, when one alone Stand I, and thou, and He Arisen above all things that be ?
76 THE GOD AND THE GIRL Yet the God smiled ; for in his heart there grew Nursed at dawns breast, and watered by its dew, That seed that is not bought and is not sold Of veritable, vegetable gold. Whereat he marvelled. In Eternity There only lived one wiser God than he. He posed his Why ? . Young God ! He made retort ; Know, the first matter of the Work is naught. Know, the pure gold is naught : for all decays. It is the Working of the Work that pays ! More, thou mistakest in thy mind of mist Matter for man, and dung for alchemist.…
THE MOTHER AT THE SABBATH — 69 Fall down, my baby; worship him with me. There, go; I give you to his monster kisses! Take her, my God, my God, my infamy, My love, my master! take the fruit of me! —Shrieks every soul and every demon hisses ! Out! out! the ghastly torches of the feast! Let darkness hide us and the night discover The shameless mysteries of God grown beast, The nameless blasphemy, the sliméd East— Sin incarnated with a leprous lover! “Hoc est enim ”’—the victim! ah! my womb, My womb has borne the victim! Now I queen it To-night upo…
III. 1. The Magicai Images of the Gods of Egypt should be made thoroughly familiar. This can be done by studying them in any public muséum, or in such books as may be accessible to the student. They should then be carefully painted by him, both from the model and from memory. 2. The student, seated in the “God” position, or in the characteristic attitude of the God desired, should then imagine His image as coinciding with his own body, or as enveloping it. This must be practised until mastery of the image is attained, and an identity with it an…

It burns and blooms With fire unheard of, with unguessed perfumes. O let me kiss you! Aticia. So you stop my songt [She ceases the tune. Crassus. There is another song. Auicia. You do me wrong. For you love Adela! Crassus. By God, girl, not I love Alicia, Aurcia. Ah! you love her sol [Ske daughs. 23
… as malign , Intolerable, inhuman , undivine , With spite close girded and with hatred shod , A snarling cur, the Christian's Christless God . Out ! misbegotten monster ! with thy brood , The obscene offspring of thy pigritude , Incestuous wedlock with the Pharisees That hail the Christ a son of thee ! Our knees Bend not before thee , and our earth -bowed brows Shake off their worship , and reject thy spouse , The harlot of the world ! For , proud and free , We stand beyond thy hatred , even we : We broken in spirit beneath bitter years , Brand…
…e. The whole of the force expended is completely re-absorbed 3 yet the virtue is that vast gain represented by the abyss between Man and God. The magician becomes füled with God, fed upon God, intoxicaîed with God.

…he gilded goat that plied the world for hire ;— Her days of wealth and majesty are done : Men trample her for mire ! The temple of their God is broken down ; Yea, Mammon’s shrine is cleansed ! The house of her That cowed the world with her malignant frown, And drove the Celt to exile and despair, Is battered now—God’s fire destroys the town ; London admits God’s air. They scorned the god that made them ; yea, they said : “ Lords of this globe, the Saxon race, are we. “ Europe before us lies, as men lie dead ; “ Britannia—ho ! Britannia rules th…
…A. Deaths warrant for my sake ? I never injured him. ORLANDO. A womans hate inspires innocent Seraphim with infamous desires ! MONICA. God pardon Magdalene ! ORLANDO. No hour for grace, alas ! [Aside.] For all the grace I mean shall be the coup de grace ! [He goes off over the bridge. The nuns kneel at MONICAS feet, and clasp her knees. MONICA. Sisters, you heard me. Rise. Home is no more a home. The goal of saintship lies through gates of martyrdom. There are virtues hard as stone ; with such the pit is paved. There are vices that atoneif …
…ROFANE. 19 Anon, and I am driven out In desert places by desire ; My mouth is salt and dry ; I doubt If hell hath such another fire ; If God’s damnation can devise A lust to match these agonies. The desert wind my body burns, The voice of flesh consumes my soul ; My body towards the city turns, My spirit seeks its fierier goal ; In wells of heaven to quench my thirst, And take God’s hand among the first. I conquered self, I grew at last A prophet chosen of the Lord ; I blew the trumpet’s iron blast That called on Zimri Omri’s sword ; My voice i…
THE EQUINOX We have translated, and not destroyed, the worship of Moses and of the prophets. In adoring God in creation, we do not adore the creation itself. In adoring God in Jesus Christ, it is God alone whom we adore, but God united to humanity. In making humanity divine, Christianity has revealed the human divinity. The God of the Jews was inhuman, because they did not understand Him in His works. We are, then, more Israelite than the Israelites them- selves. What they believe, we believe with them, and better than they do. They accuse us o…

… blocd Languidly ebbs. I see the gathering flame Aspire — expire. I see the evil flood Of time roll even and steady over it, Bearing our God to the accurst ravines; Bearing our God to the abysmal pit Whence never a God may rise. The wolfish queens Of earth have set their faces stern and sour Against us ; we are bidden to cease — to cease! Ha ! how eternity laughs down their hour, Dragoons their malice with its dominant peace. We are forbidden to love — as one who tries At noontide to forbid the sun to rise.
…m, and the hunger for his face. Basil, looking upon the blind face of the desert, his body withered in the furnace of the sand, had seen God face to face, and died. Basil spoke, therefore, as a dead God speaks, and only children understood him. At Gibraltar, on the way home, he had fallen in with Denzil Roberts, that foolish globe-trotter, secularist, and philanthropist-at-large. Den zil had just returned from a silly “ sentimental journey” through Spain, and gazing on the sunset from the western tower of the Alhambra he had come nigh to seeing…

Let me give thanks, Jehovah! O thou God That rulest Israel as sheep and slaves, But over me no ruler; thou proud God - That marshallest these petty thunder-clouds That blacken over the inane abyss But canst not tame one fierce desire of mine, Nor satiate my hatred, nor destroy This power of mine over thy devil-brood, The hatchment of thine incest, O thou God W…
… some flower that fell amid my hair, The lotus of eternal hope and life. Elizabeth. Dare I } 1 kiss you once upon the brow, Praying that God will make the purpose clear. And on the eyes —that He may lend them light. [ Tannhauser rises, and silently departs. Oh God ! Oh God ! That I have loved him so ! Be merciful !

Where hast thou led me , ever near me , never with me ? ” “ On , on , O weary one , past man , past gods , on , on to the rim of Time ” : then from the parched lips bursts the echoing cry , “ Ag nosco , Agnosco ." The hyperbola of Time , the parabola of Infinity , lie far to the north in the hyperborean regions of the Unknowable . Knowledge is but a ring smitten into the face of the waters , around it grows another ring , the ring of a greater knowledge , around that yet another , it is the ring of a higher …
