…imitless, emanation of the might Of the great Light above all gods, the fire Of our supreme desire. So out of grievous labyrinths of the mind The soul’s desire may find Some passionate thread, the clear note of a bird, To make the dark ways of the gods as light, _ And bring forth music from slow chants unheard, And visions from the fathomless night. So is the spirit of the loftier man Made holy and most strong against his fate; So is the desolate visage of the wan Lord of Amenti covered, and the gate Of Ra made perfect. So the waters flow Over …

…he cruel men That reared her without knowledge of mankind, Her parents and their leprous faith; but then She had one virtue: pitiful her mind Toward all gentle spirits: she had given Manya sister half a help to heaven; Many a sorrowing soul that knew her face Lovely behind her destiny’s disgrace. The stern Dissenter was a godly man, And robbed his master. Flying from his home, He reached the city, poor, without a plan To fill his belly. Wretched did he roam Begging through London. On a winter's night His daughter found him, frozen in the light …

…nvestigating thoughts and trying to check them; and sooner or later one proceeds to the next stage, Dharana, the attempt to restrain the mind to a single object. Before we go on to this, however, we must consider what is meant by success in Pratyahara. This is a very extensive subject, and different authors take widely divergent views. One writer means an analysis so acute that every thought is resolved into a number of elements (see “The Psychology of Hashish,” Section V, in Equinox II). Others take the View that supcess in this practice is so…

terrifying hearts and stupefying minds; frus- trated of his hopes and deceived in his fore- sight; such suspicions, not exactly justified, yet not altogether without justification, shot across my mind as I looked upon the countenance of the Prince, upon which a new-found paleness ceaselessly increased upon its ordinary pale- ness like snow falling upon snow. 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 stran…

…rmula of Power, good to invoke any Being to manifest in thyself. First, invoke him by the Power of all thy Spells and conjurations, with Mind concentrated and Will vehement, toward him, as I have written in many Books. But because thou art NEMO, thou mayst safely invoke him, no matter of what Nature, within thy Circle. Now then do thou confer on him as a Guerdon of his Obedience the Dignity of a Soul seeking Incarnation, and so precede to consecrate thine Act by performing the Mass of the Holy Ghost. Then shall that Spirit make himself Body fro…

…length of days Or even for wisdom, lest one day you find That you are saddled with some thousand grooms (You bear the case of Solomon in mind!) All in frock-coats and helmeted (with plumes) — A scarcely pleasant prospect! Just give thanks O Lord, for what we have received, Amen! And then if Jordan overflows his banks, Our vines increase, and one seed turns to ten, Keep on thanksgiving! Even if things go wrong, Howls are less pleasant to the ear than song.

…ibed by Paul (not my masseur; the other Paul I) in his Epistle to the Romans, cap. vii. v. 19. I shall arise and go forth. I have a good mind to try violent excitement of the Muladhara Cakkram ; for the whole Sushumna seems dead. This at the risk of being labelled a Black Magician—by clergymen, Christian Scientists, and the “ self—reliant” classes in general. Arrived (partly by cab) at the Place. Certain curious phenomena which I have noticed at odd times—e.g., on Thursday night—but did not think proper to record must be investigated. It seems …

…cerning this Hell, or hidden Wisdom, that is within thee, that it is modified, little by little, through the Experience of the conscious Mind, which feedeth it. For that Wisdom is the Expression, or rather Symbol and Hieroglyph, of the true Adjustment of thy being to its Environment. Now, then, this Environment being eroded by Time, this Wisdom is no more perfect, for it is not absolute, but standeth in relation to the Universe. So then a Part thereof may become useless, and atrophy as (I will instance this case) Mans Wit of Smell; and the bod…

…rtain but an hour Lends no such wings to jaded horses as May bear a jaded rider to our gates ; Wait only, friends, and.calm our troubled mind, Nor stir the languid sails of our desire With breath of expectation or despair. Rather give place to those untroubled thoughts That sit like stars immobile in the sky To fathom all the desolate winds of ocean, And draw their secrets from the hidden mines Whose gold and silver are but wisdom, seeking Rather things incorruptible above Than sordid hopes and fears. But look you, friends, Where in the sun’s e…

…ease which he describes in the last poem of this collection. This shock, coming so soon after, and, as it were, as an unholy perpetual reminder of the madness and sequestration of her lover, no less than of his infidelity, unhinged her mind, and she shot herself on July 5th, 1869. Her last letter to Madame J . . . S . . . is one of the tenderest and most pathetic ever written. She seems to have been really loved by George, in his wild, infidel fashion : “ All Night ” and “ Victory ”, among others, are obviously inspired by her beauty ; and her …

…repeat my major climbs on Beachy Head. One may add a little grimly that the same remark applies to my excursions into the regions of the mind, the conscience, and the soul. This bombastic prelude to a simple note on the precautions which I took in my experiments. First, the use of the minutest care in estimating doses. Secondly, the rule never to repeat my experiment before the lapse of at least a month. 54

Yet I think priests shall answer Him in vain : Their gospel of disgrace, disease, and pain, Shall move His heart of Love to such a wrath O Heart ! Turn back and look on Love again !
