The Equinox (Volume I, Number I)

…all, abide its separate Lord.” The experience could not be better phrased. Zoroaster, too: “Who first sprang from Mind, clothing the one Fire with the other Fire, binding them together, that he might mingle the fountainous craters, while preserving unsullied the brilliance of His own Fire.” “Containing all things in the one summit of his Hyparxis, He Himself subsists wholly beyond.” It is almost impossible to describe so purely metaphysical a state, which involves clearly enough a contradiction in terms. Yet the consciousness is so vivid, so in…

Diary of a Drug Fiend

Cold Turkey 231 unique. But, of course, he is not really unique in the way that I am.... We have lighted a huge fire in the billiard-room. We sleep there so far as we sleep at all. We got the waiter to bring down blankets and quilts from the bedroom, and he leaves the food on the table. But fires are no good. The cold comes from inside us. We sit in front of the blaze, roasting our hands and faces; but it makes no difference. We shiver. We try to sing like soldiers round a camp fire, but the only words that come are the appropriate ones. That p…

There all the winter may we idly dream Still of our love, and there forgetfulness Of the past sorrow may steal o’er thy brow In the new birth of stainless h…

Jephthah and Other Mysteries

…here the sound Of all high song through calm eternity Shall beat and boom, thine own maternal sea. For in the formless world, so swift a fire Shall burn, that fire shall not be comprehended ; So deep a music roll, that our desire Shall hear no sound ; shall beam a light so splendid That darkness shall be infinite: the lyre Fashioned of truth, strung with men’s heart-strings | blended, Shall sound as silence: and all souls be still In wisdom’s high communion with will.

Oracles

ST PATRICK’S DAY I49 Our weapons—be they fire and cord, The shell, the rifle, and the sword ! Without a helper or a friend All means be righteous to the End ! Look not for help to wordy strife ! This battle is for death or life. Melt mountains with a word—and then The colder hearts of Englishmen ! Look not to Europe in your need ! Columbia’s but a broken reed ! Your own good hearts, your own strong hand Win back at last the Irish land. Won by the strength of cold despair Our chance is near us—slay nor spare ! Open to fate the Saxons lie, Up ! I…

Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

…n sweet winds disperse delight, Radiance revealing, rising , resting , Declining , drooping , dying, dead . Impetuous to rise again Like fire , like wild fire 's flaming flakes , Like high -hurled spray on moon - lit main , Like a fountain throwing liquid light , Bearing such joy to such a height , Scattering delight in such swift shakes , Lending desire such subtle wings All this the simple wood and strings With human hand to guide it, makes . What sounds should I, so complex more , Constructed with such artifice , So full of wonder and device…

Rosa Mundi

— 11 — Beheld in the mirror of truth, The Rose indifferent to God’s gesture, The Rose on moonlight wings That flies to the House of Fire, The Rose of Honey-in-Youth ! Ah ! No dim mystery of desire Fathoms this gulph ! No light invades The mystical musical shades Of a faith in the future, a dream of the day When athwart the dim glades Of the forest a ray Of sunlight shall flash and the dew die away ! Let there then be obscurity in this ! There is an after rapture in the kiss. The fire, flesh, perfume, music, that outpaced All time, fly off ; the…

Alice: An Adultery

of old-time Athens than to the Imperial Peripatetics of the Daily Telegraph and Mr. Raven-Hill, her looks of fire turned my friend’s silky and insipid moustache into a veritable Burning Bush. But puppy endearments are of little interest to one who has just done his duty by No. 9 in distant Yoshi- wara ; so turned to the conversation of our dirty old Irish hostess, who, being drunk, grew more so, and exceedingly entertaining. Of the central forces which sway mankind, her knowledge was more comprehensive than conven- tional. For thirty years she …

Carmen Saeculare

The noise of rushing water ! And the sound Of tenfold thunder ! Mighty a flame of fire Roars downward : as a maiden from a swound My spirit answers to its own desire. My feet are firm again upon the ground— Yea ! but my head is higher. My face is shining with the fire of heaven. I move among my fellows as a ghost. With thought for bread and memory for leaven My life is nourished, yet my life is lost. I live and move among the starry seven, Nor count the deadly cost. Only I see the century as a child Call Truth and Justice, Light and Peace, to g…

…d , She was proud of her handsome lad , And he of her wide gold hair . He was merely a yokel lad , But his heart was a passionate rising fire , And his hallo along the rolling wold Was a sound to make the sun aspire , And the summer mend and hold . But a gallant sergeant came at length . He spoke to her lad ; “ You 'll lend your heart To a stirring deed , to a stalwart part , The country 's low for lack of strength , And of men that care to smart .” Oh what could a lad whose heart was fire , And what could a lass whose heart was fond , Yea he m…

The Banned Lecture

…does one show his head, Spout Heresynow ? Not a priest in his senses Deigns answer mere speech, but piles faggots instead, Refines as by fire, and, him silenced, all’s said. Whereas if in future I pen an opuscule Defing retort, as of old when rash tongues Were easy to tame—straight some knave of the Hussite School Prints answer forsooth ! Stop invisible lungs ?

…rs, because my name is as two mountains of fornica- tion, the breasts of a strange woman; and my Father is not in them. Lo! the pools of fire and torment mingled with sulphur! Many are their colours, and their colour is as molten gold, when all is said. Is not He one, one and alone, in whom the brightness of your countenance is as 1,728 petals of fire? Also he spake the curse, folding his wings across and crying: Is not the son the enemy of his father? And hath not the daughter stolen the warmth of the bed of her mother? therefore is the great …
