…Hindu and pagan (Equatorial Africa and Polynesia) with their paraphernalia of miracles, sacrifices, priestcraft, penance, vicarious atonements and the like. It is up to the missionary to show that the Christian form of such things is superior to the local variety and the difficulty is usually insuperable. The native can produce much bigger and more improbable miracles, a much more terrifying demonology, a far more fascinating pantheon, with a more alluring (and, so to say, actual) ritual than even the papist. The native perhaps seems little rea…

…babe defeat. [4Zoud.] Listen, my brother’s son! Nay, stoop not so, Bending ashaméd brows upon the earth! I am well weary of the world of men. I grow both old and hateful to myself, Most on the throne: power which to youth is sweet To age looks fearful. Also I have wept— Alas! how often !—and repented me Of those unkingly deeds whereby I gained This throne whose joy is turned to bitterness, I will make peace with thee, and justice still Shall have a home and shrine in Thessaly. Be patient notwithstanding! Prove thyself Valiant and wise—and reign…

Woe on woe, The overwhelming summit of a wave Too black, too concentrate, too impious, And culminating in a double death, Hangs imminent to crush the slender sides And battered bulwarks of our state.

My sense of justice is too strong to allow me to beat, insult or dismiss an irreproachable servant; but I had to reconcile this sentiment with the horror with which this being inspired me: to disencumber myself without lacking in respect.

It is important to reflect that this card is wholly feminine, wholly virginal, for it repre‐ sents the influence and the means of manifestation (or, from below, of attainment) in itself. It represents possibility in its second stage without any beginning of consummation. It is especially to be observed that the three consecutive letters, Gimel, Daleth, Hé (Atu II, III, XVII…

Said I not long since, when I was called of Men Eliphaz Levi Zahed, that the Error of dipus was that he should have amed the Sphinx, and ridden her into Thebes? Shall I not take this Vampire, if she be such, and master her and turn her o the Great End? Am I such a Man as should flee? Is not all Fear the Word of Failure? Shall I distrust my Destiny? Am I that am the Word of the Æon of so little avail that even the whole Powers of Choronzon can dispers…

Heed not the unquiet wind! Dawn’s finger shall be raised, its wrath shall cease, The sun shall rouse us whom the tempest lulled, And thy poor poet’s mind For respite by its own deep anguish dulled Shall wake again to watch the cruel day Drift slowly on its chill and. wasted way With but thy smile to inspire some sad melodious lay.

My mind is wrought Into dark shapes of solitary thought That loves and sympathises, but awakes No answering love or pity. What a pang Hath this strange solitude to aggravate The self-abasement and the blows of late! No snake of hell hath so severe a fang ! I am not lower than all men—TI feel Too keenly.

Only one was seated; and he jumped up and asked my my name. I told him. He asked for my papers. By the merest chance I had left my passport, which I usually carry with me, in the bedroom. I told him I would go and get it. Two men sprang to the door. My inquisitive friend snapped out, "Apportez-moi le bagage!" which a couple of his satellites proceeded to do. I wa…

72 THE SOUL OF OSIRIS. Love is the lotus that is sickly sweet, That makes men drunken, and betrays their feet : Beauty, the sacred lotus : let me say The word, and make my purity complete. The whole is mine, and shall I keep a part ? O Beauty, I must see thee as thou art ! Then on my withered gaze that Beauty grew— Rosy quintessence of alchemic dew ! The Self-informing Beauty ! In my heart The many were united : and I knew. Smitten by Beauty down I fell as dead— So strikes the sunlight on a miner’s head. Blind, stricken, crushed ! That vast eff…

Keep thou our life and mix it with thine eternal sleep : Rest, let us rest from passion there, deep ! O how deep ! Deep calleth unto deep, Amen ! hast thou no passion, thou ?

44 AMBERGRIS Made luminous with light of power. I seal each æons period, And wait the moment and the hours. Aloof, alone, unloved, I stand With love and worship in my hand. I commune with the Gods : I wait Their summons, and I fire the brand I speak their Word : and there is Fate. I know no happiness, no pain, No swift emotion, no disdain, No pits : but the boundless light Of the Eternal Love, unslain, Flows through me to redeem the night. Mine is a sad slow life : but I, I would not gain release, and die A moment ere my task be done. To falte…
