…n noon ! O sworded with the majesty of light, O girded with the glory of the moon ! Angel of absolute splendour ! link of mine Old weary spirit with the All-Divine ! Ship that shalt carry me by many winds Driven on limitless ocean ! Mighty sword, By which I force that barrier of the mind’s Miscomprehension of its own true lord ! Listen, and answer, and behold my brow Fiery with hope ! Bend down, and touch it now ! Press the twin dawn of thy desirous lips In the swart masses of my hair ; bend close, And shroud all earth in masterless eclipse, Wh…

…ngel or Angels to send the intelligence in question, and this intelligence he will conjure with authority to compel the obedience of the spirit and his manifestation. To this spirit he issues commands. It will be seen that this is a formula rather of évocation than of invocation, and for the latter the procedure, though apparently the same, should be conceived of in a difiFerent manner, which brings it under another formula, that of Tetragrammaton. The essence of the force invoked is one, but the “God” represents the germ or beginning of the fo…

Tale of Archais

…hat fire and air were wedded to control The heavy bulk beneath them, so His breath Touched the warm clay and violated death, Gave to the spirit wings and bade it rise To seek its Maker with aspiring eyes, Gave to the body strength to hold awhile The spirit, till the passions that defile Should waste and wither, and the free soul soar. But evil lusted with the soul, and bore A thousand children deadlier than death ; The sin that enters with the eager breath

We know the dance that hails the golden pinions The sun waves over an awakening earth ; We know the joy that floods the heart 's dominions At true love 's birth . Even so, the mists that roll o' er earth are riven , The spirit flashes forth from mortal sight , And , flaming through the viewless space , is given A robe of light . As when the…

Though in the valley of the shade of death I be, I fear not ; for Thy rod and staff they comfort me. I imprecate the aid of Mary, Mother mild ! The asp and dragon bow before Her Holy Child.

Victor B . Neuburg . A LOST SPIRIT . ( The Spirit seeks re-incarnation .) | PASS by darkened windy ways , 1 Through bog and dripping heather ; I flash before the silver rays The moon holds tight together . I sing beneath the waning moon ; An ancient god -forgotten rune Springs to my lips to taste , and soon The way behind with light is strewn. O silent city silver - lit, O rainy roads reflecting Tall houses where the old ghosts fit , Their shadows thin projecting Across my path — the street lamps glare Before my soft eyes everywhere . Ah ! men …

Ambergris

AMBERGRIS 31 “ Death is made change, and only change is dead.” For the most holy spirit of a man Burns through the limit of the wheels that ran Through all the unrelenting skies When Icarus died, And leaps, the flight of wise omnipotent eyes, When Dædalus espied An holy habitation for the shrine Solitary, mid the night of broken brine That foamed like starlight round the desolate shore. So to the mine of that crystalline ore Golden, the electric spark of man is drawn Deep in the bosom of the world, to soar New-fledged, an eagle to the dazzling …
