I did not bid my purpose kneel, Nor thine retire: I probe the scar Of self, the goddess keen and real Supreme within the naked wheel Of sun and moon and star and star, And find her but the ambient coil, Imagination’s avatar, A Buddha on his nenuphar Elaborate of Indian toil ; A mockery of a self; outrun Its days and dreams, its strength and spoil, As runs the conquering counterfoil. Thou art not; thou the moon and sun, Thou the sole star in trackless night, The unguessed spaces one by one That mask their Sphinx, the horizon : Thou, these; and o…

…al soul That lies here, loving me, assume thy crown And sit beside me, equal to thy queen. For look ye to the burning south, and see The Sun grown amorous, and behold his fire Leap to my godhead. For without a man I single, I the mother, have conceived Of my own loins, and made me no less god Than all your gods! Ye people and ye priests, Behold the burden of my life, and fear, And know me Isis. Worship me, and praise The goodliest ruler of the world, the queen Of all the white immeasurable seas, And that vast river of our sowing-time, And of yo…

…d roared. He swore the third time. But that Heavens Lord Curbed their black wrath, the stars of Heavens vault Had rushed to whelm the sun with vehement assault. The heavens stood still, but oer the quaking earth, That groaned and shrank with the untimely birth Of fury and freedom, Charicles strode on With fervid foot, to Aphrodites throne In seagirt Paphos, to exact her aid— The sun stood still, creation grew afraid At his firm step and mien erect and undismayed. Strident the godlike hero called aloud, Blaspheming, while that sombre bank o…

(© Sun at midnight! in thy Bark ‘The cynocephali proclaim Thy effulgent deity, and mark ‘The adorations of thy name In seemly stations one by one, As thou encirclest blinder poles ‘Than Khem or Ammon showed the sun In one-eyed sight of secret goals.

It is permissible at this stage to change the point of view to the centre of the Sun, and to do so may add stability to the conception. The Practicus may then add the Asteroids, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The utmost attention to detail is now necessary, as the picture is highly com- plex, apart from the difficulty of appreciating relative size and distance. Let this picture be practised month af…

I am alone to kiss the silver lips ; I rend my clothing for the temple 's veil ; My heart 's black night must act the sun 's eclipse ; My groans must play the earthquake , till I quail At my own dark imagining . And now The wind is bitterer ; the air breeds snow ; I put my Christ away ; I turn my brow Towards the south steadfastly : my feet must go Some journey of despair . I dare not turn To meet the sun ; I will not follow him ; Better to pass where sand and sulphur burn , And days are hazed with heat , and nights are dim W…

…N OF A FAR COUNTRY WHERE flower and foam draw close to kiss, And seabirds call to nightingales, And olives mix with clematis ; Where the sun seeks a path, and fails To burn the beechen groves, and rails On the cool leaves, that bend and meet To shape us arches in the dales Where Love has chosen our retreat ! No tide is lapping on the sand Where the stream sleeps along the glade; No nymphs are bathing on the strand, Nor in the pools a Tuscan maid ; Nor lurks a fawn within the shade ; Nor springs the moss to foxes’ feet; For all the world in slee…

There is yet a pang: they give me this Who can; and you who could have failed? Is it too late to extend the kiss? Too late the goddess be unveiled? O but the generous flower that gives Her kisses to the violent sun, Yet none the less in ardour lives An hour, and then her day is done. 54

…ers are troubled. If the glaciers are stopped the surface becomes calm ; and then, and only then, can it reflect unbroken the disk of the sun. This sun is the “soul” or “God.” We should, however, avoid these terms for the present, on account of their implications. Let us rather speak of this sun as “some unknown thing whose presence has been masked by all things known, and by the knower.” It is probable, too, that our memory of Dhyana is not of the pheno- menon itself, but of the image left thereby on the mind. But this is duration of Dhyana. On…

…finite conception of the whole. I want you to share with me one little fragment of this great Truth which has been made clear to me this Sun-Day morning: I want you to come with me—if you will—just across the border-line of the Old Eon and gaze for a mo- ment at the New. Then, if the aspect pleases you, you will stay, or, it may be, you will return for a while, but the road once open and the Path plain, you will always be able to get there again, in the twinkling of an eye, just by readjusting your Inner sight to the Truth. You know how deeply …

He is therefore the Force and the Substance of thy Being; but besides this, he is the Hierophant in the Taro, as if this were said: that thy Will leadeth thee unto the Shrine of Light. And in the Rites of Mithras the Bull is slain, and his Blood poured upon the Initiate, to endow him with that Will and that Power of Work. Also in the land of Hind is the Bull sacred to Shiva, that is God among that Folk,…

Roll, ye wild billows of ether ! the Sistron is shaken and sounds ! Wild and sonorous the clamour, vast in the region of death, Live with the Fire of the Spirit, the essence and flame of the breath ! Sound, O sound ! Gleam in the world of the dark, where the chained ones shall tremble and flee ! Gleam in the skies of the dusk, for the Light of the Dawn is in me ! Light on the forehead, and life in the nost…

The reference is also to Jupiter and Leo, which seems to imply a benediction on the harmony and beauty of this arrangement. It Will be seen that the Three Wands of the Three Adepts are now orderly arranged; and the flames themselves, instead of shooting out in all directions, burn steadily as in lamps. They are nine in number, in reference to Yesod and the Moon. This shows the stabilization of the Energy,…

Still, through the snow, it may be there is peeping Veiled from the kiss of the sun | One lone white violet, daintily sleeping, Hard to be won. So with my fairy white maiden (you hear me ?) . Winter may yet pass away ; Spring may arrive, (will it find your heart near me?) Summer may stay. Passionate roses I seek not, whose glories Now are too fierce for the spring, While the white flames of the fro…
