…ild; the wind is calm ; But on my ear the voices fall Distant, and irk me, and appal. Two men have sworn the solemn oath : ‘‘God and the king this dog blasphemed,” Two judges, just, though little loth, Weigh, answer. As on one who dreamed Comes waking—in my soul there groaned : ‘* Carry forth Naboth to be stoned !”’ Nine days! And still the king is sad, And hides his face, and is not seen. The tenth ! the king is gaily clad ; The king will banquet with the queen ; And, ere the west be waste of sun, Enjoy the vineyard he hath won. All this I hea…

…d And far majestic keep Of Djinn, the Lord of elemental light. But he beheld some sight Beyond that city’s joy : his gentle word The old king gently heard. (This king was Zôhra’s father) “ Lord and king Of love’s own city, give me leave to wing A fervid flight to yonder hills of night. Not that my soul is weary of the light And lordship of thy presence : but in tender dream I saw myself on the still stream Where the lake goes toward the mountain wall. These little lives and loves ephemeral Seemed in that dream still sweet : yet even now I turne…

White Stains

DÉDICACE You crown me king and queen. There is a name For whose soft sound I would abandon all This pomp. I liefer would have had you call Some soft sweet title of belovéd shame. Gold coronets be seemly, but bright flame I choose for diadem ; I would let fall All crowns, all kingdoms, for one rhythmical Caress of thine, one kiss my soul to tame. You crown me king and queen ; I crown thee lover ! I bid thee hasten, nay, I plead with thee, Come in the thick dear darkness to my bed. Heed not my sighs, but eagerly uncover, As our mouths mingle, my …

An Act, which is explained by the fair courtesan Bindumati as follows. When King A…

Confessions of Aleister Crowley

…8 of Sir Palamedes, but during the abominable "wind draught" of the first week of March I had made a partial image of this doubt in the "King-Ghost". I did not understand the essence of the doubt and it is hard to explain it in prose, even now. It seems at first sight to be a reflection of the all-embracing doubt of the Abyss. It concentrated itself into the entirely practical question: is there an Augoeides after all? Is there a Path of the Wise? Am I simply fooling myself? And in the "King-Ghost" my only answer is to appeal to the very power …

The World’s Tragedy

… home now ! ALEXANDER to the Ist satyr What next ? How shall a babe scarce- sexed Avail when the dread offering Of the world’s mightiest king Is not received ? IST SATYR Impale You trembling fawn too frail Upon that ivory ruby rod That juts from the azure throne of God ! Then — as the scream chills the blue air, Draw the curved steel along The snow-pure throat ! Hold the bright hair Firm in one swarthy grip ; And ere the blood leap strong Suck with insensate lip That wine of Pan ! Ah, drink ! Great king — as if the brink Of Ganymede’s own cup f…

His spectre legions Sweep from their icy lakes and bleak ravines Unto these weary and untrodden regions Where man lies penned among his Might- have-beens. Keep us in safety, Lord, What time the King-Ghost is abroad ! The King-Ghost from his grey malefic slumbers Awakes the malice of his bloodless brain. He marshals the innumerable numbers Of shrieking shapes on the sepulch…

Jephthah

JEPHTHAH. Edom and Moab, pitched their weary tent Beyond the bank of Ammon; and they sent Messengers thence to Sihon, Heshbon’s king, The lord of Amorites, and said to him: I prithee, let us pass to our own place Through thy dominions: but his crafty mind, Fearing some treachery, that was not, save In his ill mind that thought it, did determine To gather all his people, and to pitch Tents hostile in the plains before Jahaz. And there he fought with Israel ; but God Delivered Sihon to our hands, and all That followed him: whom therefore we destr…

Diary of a Drug Fiend

King Lamus Intervenes 259 was still a faint smell of bitter almond in the air. It reminded me of how the dinner might have ended, and I trembled all over like a man in an ague fit. What was happening in me? Had I suddenly fallen in love with life, or had I simply become aware of the fear of death ? When we reached the fresh air, I knew it was the former. Lamus had made me feel. The effect of the drug had been to kill all feelingin me. My impulse to kill myself had not been so wholly negative’as I had thought. It was a positive craving for what …
