…BIN MESsAouD Trusted to Allah for his daily food; And so with favour was the Saint anointed That never yet had he been disappointed. One day this pious person wished to shave His head; a sly and sacrilegious knave Passed; when the good man would resume his prayer, Alas! his turban was no longer there. In rushed Mohammed, Hassan, and Husein: “See! there he goes, the bastard of a swine. Hasten, and catch him!” But the good man went With melancholy pace and sad intent Unto the burying-ground without the wall; And there he sat, stern and funereal, …

…wonderful flowers of the foam, Blue billows and breakers grown grey, When the storm sweeps triumphantly home From the bed of the violate day, In the furious waves of the sea, wild world of tem- pestuous night, Our song is as light! In the tumult of manifold fire, Multitudinous mutable feet That dance to an infinite lyre On the heart of the world as they beat, In the flowers of the bride of the flame, in the warrior Lord of the Fire, There burns our desire! AMENHATEP. Cry now, bewail the broken house, bewail The ruin of the land; cry out on Fate…

Let day, a glowing vigour, male; And night, a virgin bowed and curled, Stand at the foot; their ardours pale Systole and diastole of the world! With life impearled (their eyes absorb) They visibly sustain the orb. Then let the tower in seven tiers Rise in its splendour marmorean, Unite the chill divided years In plain perception of the aeon. Cry clear the paean! Its tunes recoil About thy flanks, O Tower of Toil. Below be miners fashioned fair, And all that labour in the sea Sepulchred from the ambient air, A fatal weird of dole to dree.

68 AMBERGRIS FROM ALICE : AN ADULTERY Margaret The moon spans Heavens architrave ; Stars in the deep are set ; Written in gold on the days grave, To love, and to forget ; And sea-winds whisper oer the wave The name of Margaret. A heart of gold, a flower of white, A blushing flame of snow, She moves like latticed moons of light And O ! her voice is low, Shell murmurs borne to Amphitrite, Exulting as they go. Her stature waves, as if a flower Forgot the evening breeze, But heard the charioted hour Sweep from the father seas, And kept swee…

Your lordship has spent millions of yen; but is to-day a richer man than when your excellency went to sleep." “I will go and see this Kwaw,” said the Daimio.

pointée! out, it is but a preliminary. For the normal man to-day, however, it represents considérable attainment; and there is a much earlier formula whose investigation will occupy Chapter VI. The Master Therion, in the Seventeenth year of the Aeon, has reconstructed the Word I A O to satisfy the new conditions of Magick imposed by progress.

Accordingly, he Has expanded I A O by treating the O as an Ayin, and then adding Vau as prefi…

O hours of the day, And hours of the night, Pause now while ye may In your heavenly flight! Give answer and say, Have I called ye aright? Are the strings of my lyre as fire, the voice of my singing as light? THE Hours Darkness and daylight in divided measure Gather as petals of the sunflower, In many seasons seek the lotus-treasure, Following as dancing maidens, mute for pleasure, The fervent flying footsteps of the Hour. The sun looks over the memorial hills, The trampling of his horses heard as wind ; He leaps and turns, and all his fragrance…

Night spreads her yearning pinions, The baffled day sinks blind to sleep ; The evening breeze outswoons the sun’s Dead kisses to the swooning deep.
