… well — you know the dreadful weight Pale silence sheds, not Atlas could uplift. You know the spell to conquer love and hate, To win the world and win it at a gift. You are afraid of that then — had you spoken You fear the spell upon me had been broken!
…ess would almost certainly result in permanent and hopeless melancholia; suicide might be the most fortunate termination. XVI “O how the world hath inflexible intellectual rulers!” ZOROASTER, Sankhava.—The reader will notice—I trust with pained sympathy—the increasing difficulty of expressing these results of meditation in language. At this point one almost desires to exclaim with Fichte that if it were only possible to start all over again, one would begin by inventing a totally new scheme of symbolism. Here in Sankhara, hashish-analogy is som…

… every one and everything. I didn’t know where I was going. I hated Peter from the depths of my soul. I would have given anything in the world—except the heroin—to be able never to see him again. But he had the money, why shouldn’t we enjoy our abject ruin as we had enjoyed our romance? Why not wallow in the moist, warm mire?
…owadays almost exclusively, not with the real truth about an author, nor with the balanced judgment of the educated reader or man of the world, but with the prejudices and passions of the masses. Unless therefore a man of letters is wealthy enough to call his traducer to instant account in court of law, the absolute falsity of a newspaper calumny will not prevent it from working, right from the start, almost as much mischief as if it were proven truth. It may reduce its victim, at a stroke, from affluence to poverty, or from poverty to absolute…
…se stigma should be perfect calm; but, during my life, except at the age of Chérubin, I have been more sensitive than anyone else in the world to the enervating foolishness, the irritating mediocrity of women. What I love above all in animals is their frank- ness; judge them, what I must have suffered with my last mistress. She was a princes bastard. Beautiful, it goes without saying; without that, why should I have taken her? But she spoilt that great quality by an unbecoming and deformed ambi- tion. She was a woman who always wished to play…
…; but there was a man, Aleister Crowley, husband and father, of a certain caste, of certain experience, of travel in remote parts of the world; and it was his business to give them his undivided love, care and protection. He could do this very much more efficiently than before when I was aware of what he was doing, and consequently inclined to overplay the part. But with regard to my magical future --- why did I "intend to stick to Augoeides"? The reason becomes clear if we consider the nature of the meditation --- Sammasati --- which had const…
…cence assumed In the soul’s splendour! Here is peace ; Here earnest of assured release. Here is the formless all-pervading Spirit of the World, rising, fading Into a glory subtler still. Here the intense abode of Will Closes its gates. and in the hall Is solemn sleep of festival. Peace! Peace! Silence of peace! O visionless abode! Cease! Cease! Through the dark veil press on! The veil Is rent asunder, the stars pale, The suns vanish, the moon drops, The chorus of the spirit stops, But one note swells. Mightiest souls Of bard and music maker, ro…
…, doth the great angel Metatron arrest him with the words: “I am the angel of the Presence divine. The wise man gazeth upon the material world; and he beholdeth therein the luminous image of the Creator. Not as yet canst thou bear the dazzling brilliance of that Light. Retuml for thou canst not pass by I” These commonplaces of the bastard mystic ism of mountebanks, crude and imbecile as they seem to one who has “passed by,” are curiously apt to mine intention of the moment. Essays in Light! I hear somebody exclaim. This man was obscure enough b…
XIV PREFACE. rable ” in front of his name, destined to be celebrated in the world of motors and balloons, walked into the room and told us rather a lively story. The Reverend something Doddridge thought of the “ honourable ” and laughed pleasantly. I remember how, boys as we were, we filed austerely from the rooms without farewell. Oh, you must know the C. I. C. C. U. ! I remember too how this Doddridge, while in charge of my morals, aided and abetted me in extinguishing street lamps ; and how when a policeman pounced upon me, he forsook me and…
…ht by the southward is dwindled, And the clouds as for sleep are unfurled, The moon in the east is rekindled, The hope of the passionate world. The stars for a token of glory Flash fire in the eyes of the night, And the holy immaculate story Of Heaven is flushed into light. For the night has a whisper to wake us, And the sunset a blossom to kiss, And the silences secretly take us To the well of the water that is?; For the darkness is pregnant with being, As earth that is glad of the rain, And the eyes? that are silent and seeing Are free of the…
OR, THE ANGEL OF VENICE 39 Farewell, my liege, my lords, I leave at last the world ! You who were all my thoughts, my hopes, my joys, my cares, A weight to gravitate, to counterpoise my prayers, Need them no more. Then praise with me this period ; I leave you trembling as my soul draws near to God [She goes out on the arm of THE ABBESS. MORTADELLO. My lords, I will have you all to know : I judged her ill. So man distrusts the saintly snow on winters hill, Fearing what suns of spring may send, destruction tear Through larch and pine to village,…
…stantly echoed by every member of the Order; hence the Society of Jesus became the most formidable of the religious organizations of the world. That of the Old Man of the Mountains was perhaps the next best. The defect in Loyola's system is that the General was not God, and that owing to various other considerations he was not even necessarily the best man in the Order. To become General of the Order he must have willed to become General of the Order; and because of this he could be nothing more. To return to the question of the development of …

THE THIRD PUBLICATION: Nine months before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, which is breaking up the Far East. THE FOURTH PUBLICATION: 6.22 a.m., December 22, 1937, e.v., nine months before the betrayal, which stripped Britain of the last rags of honour, prestige and security, and will break up civilization. To repeat: the event will establish the kingdom of the Crowne…
…oken away utterly from the Star that did enlighten them, and they are Vampires, obsessing them that adventure themselves into the Astral World without Magical Protection, or invoke them, as do the Spiritists. For by Death is Man released only from the Gross Body, at the first, and is complete otherwise upon the Astral Plane, as he was in his Life. But this Wholeness suffereth Stress, and its Girders are loosened, the weaker first and after that the stronger. t
… we may expect the final statement of the poet's mind. The passage that first put me on the track of the amazing discovery for which the world has to thank me is to be found in Act I. Se. ii. Ul. 132-149 :-— ‘* This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune,—often the surfeit of our own behaviour,—we make guilty 185

Worship me, and praise The goodliest ruler of the world, the queen Of all the white immeasurable seas, And that vast river of our sowing-time, And of your Sun. Behold me made a god Of my own godhead, and adore the sun Of my queen’s face, and worship ye the fount And fertile river of my life. Bow down, Ye people and ye priests, and worship me, And him co-equal. Iam very god!” So spake the Queen; but I arose and said: ‘‘Queen and our lord, we worship! Let the s…
WHY JESUS WEPT 13 On the mountain, and destroyed my peace ? O the misery of this world ; the fear And folly that is unattained desire ! I would be master : I, the lord of Greece : I the bright Deva of the golden sphere ; I the swift spirit of the primal fire : — All these I am, not will be. O blind ape ! All these are shapeless ; thou art but a shape, A blind, bad-blooded bat ! Ugh ! Ugh ! The snake Wriggling to death amid his burning brake Is wiser, holier, lordlier. Open, page Of the old Rabbi ! tell me of the mage ; Of him who would ; of him…
