THE EQUINOX How shall I have speech of Thee, who know not Thy speak- ing? How shall I behold Thee, who art hidden in the darkness? Lo! I bend mine eyes before Thee, and no sign dost Thou vouchsafe me; I whisper love-words before Thee, and I know not if Thou hear me, Thou who art the darling of the Night and of the Silence; Yellow art Thou as the sunlight through the corn-fields, Bright as the sun-dawn on the snow-clad mountains, Slow as the voice of the great green gliding River. Calmly in Thy silence am I come to rest me, Now from the world th…

THE EQUINOX balancing before him their tempting, repulsive, holy and foul, loose or firm, twin breasts. Himself, cloven-hoofed and curl- horned, had to flagellate his own flesh with iron chains, which failed to overcome the moral urtication, as had the repeated physical purgings of his early years. Narcissus, in a corner, pale and smiling, urged him to renewed efforts; Spirits, both incubi and succubae, thrusting themselves upon him, ate him away... But all these dreams gradually faded out. Lionel had become a translucid set of bones, with two …

THE EQUINOX Faith is not the stupid credulity of an awestruck ignorance. Faith is the consciousness and the confidence of love. Faith is the cry of reason, which persists in denying the absurd, even in the presence of the unknown. Faith is a sentiment necessary to the soul, just as breathing is to life; it is the dignity of courage, and the reality of enthusiasm. Faith does not consist of the affirmation of this symbol or that, but of a genuine and constant aspiration towards the truths which are veiled by all symbolisms. Ifa man rejects an unw…

THE EQUINOX tion of members of the Sanctuary of the Gnosis, the IX° of the O.T.O. 94. The more thou dost become at one with it, thy being melted in its BEING, the more thy Soul unites with that which IS, the more thou wilt become COMPASSION ABSOLUTE. This verse throws a little further light upon its predeces- sor. COMPASSION is really a certain Chinese figure whose names are numerous. One of them is BAPHOMET. 95. Such is the Arya Path, Path of the Buddhas of per- fection. This closes the subject. 96. Withal, what mean the sacred scrolls which m…

I begin, therefore, in Hanged Man posture, to invoke the Angel, within the Pyramid already duly prepared by DCLXXI. Alas! in vain have I tried even the supreme ritual of Awaiting the Beloved, although once I thought Ah ! give unto Thy beloved in sleep! How ashamed I should be, though! For an earthly lover one would be on tiptoe of excitement, trembling at every sound, eager…

And Bubu Tire- Cravat ?” Frédéric brought the edge of his hand down smartly on the table, with a laugh. “He had made so many widows, it was only fair he should marry one!” commented the Englishman. “And Pea-shooter Charley?” “Don’t know. I think he is in prison in England.” “Well, well; it saddens. ‘Where are the snows of yester- year?’ I must have an absinthe; I feel old.” “You are half my years,” answer…

Thus they ran: “The book “ Advice to which Mankind contains all that I know for for a better use of their faculties.” certain.” No name of author was to be seen. In the fourth compartment was a little framed picture, and though I examined it very closely I was not able at first to realise what the subject of the picture was. From a shallow little boat a gigantic snake was seen to emerge, fiercel…

10.4. 12.17. 132 THE EQUINOX down a long putt or a tricky one. Whether it means more than that perception and execution have got into unison (for once) and know it, I cannot say.)

It has always been my custom on this night to look back over the year, and to ask: What have I done? The answer is invariably “ Nothing.” Yet ofwhat men count deeds I have done no small share. I have trave…

THE EQUINOX (One may explain, as with Samadhi, that the man is not “in” Nibbana; the Characteristics are not “in” Nibbana: but—Nibbana is.) It would be easy to string up a paradox-scheme in which Change, not-Change, both-Change-and-not-Change, and neither-Change-nor-not-Change were all four perceived at once; and indeed some authors have done something very like this; but, between you and me, I don’t believe they knew anything about it; and as I certainly don’t know anything myself, if it’s all the same to you, I’d rather leave the subject alon…
