…ll chorus of the earth, Flash through the splendid portals of re- birth, Completing Truth in its amazing span :— ‘** Godhead is made the Spirit that is Man.” To whose white mountains, and their arduous ways, Turn we our purpose, till the faith that slays Yield up its place to faith that gives us life, The faith to conquer in the higher strife ; Our single purpose, and sublime intent, With their spilt blood to seal our sacra- ment, Who stand among Light ; Our single purpose, by incarnate might Begotten after travail unto death, To live within th…
… his own sake. No voice, no song might pierce or penetrate That enviable universal state. The sun and moon beheld, stood still. Only the spirits axis, will, Considered its own soul and sought a deadlier deep, And in its monotone mood Of supreme solitude Was neither glad nor sad because it did not sleep ; But with calm eyes abode Patient, its leisure the galactic load, Abode alone, nor even rejoiced to know that it was God.
… The passage may mean : “ I will float heavenward on the perfume of my adoration, being insulated from the world by my love (or the Holy Spirit) under That Tree.” i.e. the Tree of Life.
Ibsen, otherwise in spirit and style purely Greek, and dealing as the Greeks did with the emotions of the soul, has realised the changed and infinitely more complex conditions of life ; our self-appointed spiritual guides notwithstanding, or, rather, withstanding in vain. Consequently it is impossible any more to divine whether virtue or vice (as understood of old) will cause the irreparable catastrophe which is the one element of drama which we may still (in the work of a modern dramatist) await with any degree of confidence. I trust that I ma…

…, " a bow "). Think of the Vision of the Arrow in Liber 418, and look at the passages in the Holy Books which speak of the action of the spirit under the figure of a deadly poison. For to each individual thing attainment means first and foremost the destruction of the individuality. Each of our ideas must be made to give up the Self to the Beloved, so that we may eventually give up the Self to the Beloved in our turn. It will be remembered in the History Lection ^how the Adepts "who had with smiling faces abandoned their homes and their possess…
…ini. He is a warrior helmed, and for his crest he bears a revolving wing. Mounted upon a maddened steed, he drives down the Heavens, the Spirit of the Tempest. In one hand is a sword, in the other a poniard. He represents the idea of attack. The moral qualities of a person thus indicated are activity and skill, subtlety and clev‐ erness. He is fierce, delicate and courageous, but altogether the prey of his idea, which comes to him as an inspiration without reflection. If ill‐dignified, the vigour in all these qualities being absent, he is incap…
… the Jupiter there is, within these limits, that their rank is not as high as their Archangel, nor as low as their Intelligence or their Spirit. But their Jupiter is pure Jupiter; no other planet enters into their composition. We see and hear them, usually (in my own experience) as the result of specific invocation. Less frequently we know them through the sense of touch as well; sometimes their presence is associated with a particular perfl me. (This, by the way, is very striking, since it has to overcome that of the incense.) I must very stro…

THE ENGLISH SPIRIT It was in my mind to discourse freely upon this enga- ging topic ; but to say truth I am somewhat weary, having now written for some six hours, and being well assured that if I once laid down the pen nothing would persuade me to resume the distasteful task. For there is no ecstasy in argument and exposition as there is in Poetry. That is why journalists are such dull dogs, even when they start as brilli…

Write Feccles a note to say you couldn’t raise the money by the date it was wanted, and let’s get out. We ought to economise, in any case, Let's get off to Italy as we said. The exchange is awfully good, and _living’s delightfully cheap. It’s silly ‘spending money when you've got Love and Cocaine.” My spirit leapt to meet hers. I scribbled a note of apology to…
THE BOOK OF WISDOM OR FOLLY 95 Gp De Sacramento Vero (Of the True Sacrament) UT in the Sacrament of the Gnosis, which is of the Spirit, is there naught hurtful, for its Elements are not only Food, but a true Incarnation and Quint- essence of Life, Love, and Liberty, and at its Manifestation thy Lion is consecrated by pure Light of Ekstacy. Also, as this is the strongest so also it is the most sensitive of all Things soever, and both proper and ready to take Impress of Will, not as a Seal passively but with true Recreation in a Microcosm thereof…

Having nothing mortal, she is wholly inebriated with God. For she glorieth in the harmony under which the mortal body sub- sisteth.” “ As rays of Light his locks flow forth, ending in acute points.
