…gs; in the gnarled right hand a terrible whip, the carved jade handle blossoming into a rose of fine cords, shin- ing with silver—sharp, three-cornered chips of silver! The whole dripped black with blood. Upon the angel face stood asneer, a snarl,a malediction. The effect upon one’s sense of something beyond the ordinary was, too, heightened by her costume; for though the summer was at its height she was clad from head to foot in ermine, starred, more heavily than is usual, with the little black tails in the form offleurs-de-lis. “In extreme co…

It is not a long street, as you know, and I thought that I remembered perfectly that the house faced the tiny Rue St. Grégoire, which leads back to the Boulevard St. Germain. Indeed, it was down that obscure alley that Jean andI had gone in our fight. I remem- bered how I had expected to meet somebody on issuing into the boulevard; and then . . . I must have b…

… forms, and each goddess of love is but a letter of the alphabet of love. Now, there is a mystery in the word Logos, that containeth the three letters whose analogy hath been shown in the lower heavens, Samech, and Lamed, and Gimel, that are 93, which is thrice 31, and in them are set the two eyes of Horus. (Ayin means an eye.) For, if it were not so, the arrow could not pierce the rainbow, and there could be no poise in the balance, and the Great Book should never be unsealed. But this is she that poureth the Water of Life upon her head, whenc…

…grotesquely impossible case of "wrong number" that ever came my way. Now for one or two oddities. Recently, needing to relax, I borrowed three "thrillers" from different sources. In every case, the plot turned on two men being so alike that no one could tell them apart. (Rupert of Hentzau , John Chilcote, M.P.,Melander's Millions.) I travelled from Louisville to Detroit by a railroad whose nickname was the "Big Four," my object being some business connected with my Book 4. The name of my express was the "Big Four"-it left from No. 4 platform at…

…mprovement on the "Spelling Bee" -I have anti-christened it "Fore and aft" so as to be natty and naval-which is in my opinion one of the three or four best indoor games for two ever invented. Here are the rules, in brief, any disputed points? Apply to me. 1. A "Word" consists of four or more letters. 2. It must be printed in big black type in the Dictionary

…ne ought, perhaps, to give an outline of how these facts work out in the social system of Thelema. It may be useful to classify women in three groups, (I exclude the fourth, which anatomically woman, does not function in that capacity: the "spinster") corresponding to Isis, Osiris and Horus. The Isis-Class consists of the mother-type. To them the man is no more than the necessary creator and sustainer of her children. The Osiris-Class comprises those women who are devoted to their man qua man, and to his career. Her children, if any, she values…

…The very next day the enemy struck home below the belt, as described in the previous chapter. The blow could not shake my soul. For over three weeks I bore the stigmata of my Operation physically. I visibly radiated light. People used to turn in the street to look at me; they did not know what it was, but the impression must have been irresistible. No sooner had this worn off than the enemy struck again at my health. I was obliged to put myself once more in the doctor's hands and go to Bournemouth. I was now thoroughly prepared to take up my Wo…

…the last occasion, when Osiris succeeded to Isis. In that great cataclysm not only Empires, but civilizations crashed one after another. Three quarters of the Aeon had elapsed before the wine of that vintage was really drinkable. I expect, as I hope, that this time (communication heing universaHy better established, the foundations better laid, and things in general moving quicker) we may be able to enjoy the harvest in very much less time. But hang it all! it's hardly reasonable to expect complete fruition after only 40 years. What seems to me…

…reconnaissance of Chogo Ri, and the Archangel Gabriel could not have convinced me that we were likely to succeed in forcing a ridge over three miles long of the moist desperate character. I have also an instinct about weather. I know when it breaks for good. I cannot explain it; but there is an absolutely definite difference in what one feels in two apparently similar storms. One will blow itself out in preparation {324} for a cloudless fortnight and the other will be the prelude to more Wagner. I was also perfectly convinced that Collie's idea…

…all. The word of the Law is Thelema. Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look but close into the word. For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit and the Lover, and the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The word of Sin is restriction. Thou hast no right but do thy will. Do that and no other shall say nay. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect. There are four gates to one palace : the floor of that palace is of silver and gold ; lapis lazuli and …

…ad been provided to house them. In six months only five hundred were left. On March 14th we left Mengtsz for Manhao on the Red River --- three days' easy travelling. The very first night, an unpleasant incident took place. Wilkinson had made me promise on no account to strike any of the men but to rely on him to punish any misconduct when they returned to Yunnanfu. It seemed as if they knew of this compact and the Great God Wilkinson seemed very far off to them. I could feel instinctively that the respect, akin to godly fear, which I had previo…

…laxed its agonizing pres- sure, and in one rush of boiling tapioca pudding I emptied my eighty odd pounds into her cloak- room, drowning three innocent old gentlemen, and the maid who looked after their hats and sticks. It was too much for her capacity : the internal pres- sure of so much liquor neutralized that of her now wearied India-rubber-plant, and I was able at lei- sure to achieve the fourteen fucks and a dry-bob which I had originally contemplated. Amid the plaudits of the entire assembly I withdrew my dripping banana from her now yawn…

Left to himself, Clayton invented incidentally twenty-three quite new curses, called Le W... a lit- tle bitch, kissed the mark of the little bitchs teeth on his hand, and generally conducted himself as an officer and a gentleman would do, provided he were also a devout Christian.
