…he bosom that was Even as a veil for thy face, thy face in a breathed-on glass, Hangs there a vulture, and tears with a beak of iron and fire. I know not his name, for he wears no feathers of my desire. It is thou, it is thou, lone maiden ! My heart is a bird that flies Far into the azure laden with love-lorn songs and cries. O Goddess of Nature and Love ! Thyself is the lover I see. But thou art in the above, and thy kiss is not for me.

…e noise of the dawn in our ears Burst out like a storm or a snake Or the rush of the Badawi spears. Dawn of desire ! But thy kiss was as fire To thy lovers and princes and peers. Then the ruin of night we beheld, As the sun stormed the heights of the sky With his myriad swords, and compelled The pale tremblers, the planets, to fly. He drave from their place All the stars for a space, From their bastioned towers in the sky. Thrilled through to the marrow with heat We abode (as we glode) on the river. Every arrow he launched from his seat, From t…

…! The kiss whose lightest petal is a curse Fit to dissolve the ultimate universe. Then, let us make a child ! Shall he not be A flame of fire, a ringless ocean, a wind All-penetrating, a ten-branching tree, A height of spirit, an abyss of mind ? Shall we not veil our eyes, lest he should see The extreme secret in their soul confined And die ? Then let us also cease from seeing And wake the lusty whirlwind of our being !

…itten and kissed on the fiery lawn Where the wash of the waves of thy native bays Laps weary limbs, that of thee have drawn Laughter and fire for their souls in pawn. O thy strong sons they are dark as night, Cruel and barren and false as the sea. They have cherishèd Hell for the love of thee, Filled with thy lust and abundant might, Filled with the phantom desire to free Body and soul from the sound and sight Of a world and a God that doth not right. O thy dark daughters ! their breasts are slack, Their lips so large and as poppies red ; They …

Our sweet clean song pierces the cover, And thin keen notes of music flit and hover Like spirit-birds upon the lyre of this our lover We, children of the mountains, lying low On earth’s own bosom, deep, embowered, flow In wide soft waves of land: upon us sweep The mightiest rivers : in our hollows lie Great lakes: our voices hardly rise, but die In t…

VI You grind your tiny shoes into my face ; You roll upon the furs before the fire, Smiting and cursing in the devil’s race Whose goal and prize is Unassuaged Desire. You rub your naked hody against mine: You madden me by blows and bites and kisses ; You make me drunken with your stormy wine ; We swoon, we roll into unguessed abysses Of torture and of bliss ; we wake and yearn, Doing violence on ourselves — anon weare slain, Slain and reborn again to ache and burn : Aeon on aeon thunders through our brain. -—~ At last you see, my maiden?

…ant matter to initiates), there are five. There are therefore two letters of the alphabet which have to do double duty. The ele‐ ment of Fire is very close kin to the idea of Spirit; so the letter Shin, belonging to Fire, may be taken to mean Spirit as well. There is a special reason why this should be so, although it only applies in later ages, since the introduction of the dogma that Spirit rules the four elements, and the formation of the “Pentagram of Salvation” connected with the Hebrew word IHShVH, Yeheshuah. With regard to Earth, it was …

His lips tightened more and more, and his eyes flamed with an interior fire like that of jealousy and bitterness, even while he ostensibly applauded the talents of his old friend, the strange buf- foon who made such excellent fun of death. At a certain moment I saw His Highness lean back towards a little page-boy who was standing behind him and whisper in his ear.

62 THE SOUL OF OSIRIS. They are all caught in this immense desire Deeper than heaven, tameless as the fire. All catch the fear—the fear of Her—as well, And dare not—even afraid, I must aspire. A spirit walking in a dream, I went To the high throne—they shook the firmament With foolish cheers. I knelt before the queen And wept in silence. Then, as it had been An angel’s voice and touch, her face she bent, Lifted and kissed me—oh ! her lips were keen ! Her voice was softer than a virgin’s eyes : “ Go ! my true knight : for thither, thither lies T…
