… crissations of the most ac- complished courtesans, the most domesticated ma- trons ; and the Archbishop rode to glory in a char- iot of fire truly seven times hotter than its wont.

…desired of all men, and the enchanter shall rule the earth. Blessing unto the name of the Beast, for he hath let loose a mighty flood of fire from his manhood, and from his woman- hood hath he let loose a mighty flood of water. Every thought of his mind is as a tempest that uprooteth the great trees of the earth, and shaketh the mountains thereof. And the throne of his spirit is a mighty throne of madness and desolation, so that they that look upon it shall cry: Behold the abom- ination! Of a single ruby shall that throne be built, and it shall…

… eyes with my hands. Yet through my hands could I perceive a little of those bowers of azure flame. And a voice said: It is kindled into fire that was the blue breast of ocean; because this is the bar of heaven, and the feet of the Most High are set thereon. Now I behold more fully: Each tongue of flame, each leaf of flame, each flower of flame, is one of the great love-stories of the world, with all its retinue of mdse-en-scéne. And now there is a most marvellous rose formed from the flame, and a * These words are probably BABALON, CZAOS, TARO…

Ye shall see them at tule, at victorious armies, at all the joy; and there shall be in them a joy a million times greater than this. Beware lest any force another, King against King!

And a voice cries: Cursed be he that shall uncover the nakedness of the Most High, for he is drunken upon the wine that is the blood of the adepts. And BABALON hath lulled him to sleep upon her breast, and she hath fled away, and left him naked, and she hath called her children together, saying: Come up with me, and let us make a mock of the nakedness of the Most High. And the first of the adept…

So shall my lyre Sweep the vast courts with acclamation loud Of splashing music, of exulting fire That revels in its penetrating cover Of azure life that smites its flickering spire Of sworded splendour inwards, to discover Not justice, not discernment, not desire, Not passion, but the sheer will of a lover !

How talk with thee, whose quickened hearing has not known him creep ever closer, yet afraid to touch thee, has not heard the rushing of his heart, the shortening of his breath ? How talk, if thou have not felt one trem- bling foot seed thine, one hand steal near thee and yet nearer ? Till thou feel the tremor of his body ; till his hot breath stir thine hair !

…ne that clingeth to the bare body of a bacchanal. Also, though I be planted so firmly upon the earth, yet is my blood wine and my breath fire of madness. With these wings, though they be but little, I lift myself above the crown of the yod, and being without fins I yet swim in the inviolate fountain. I disport myself in the ruins of Eden, even as Leviathan in the false sea, being whole as the rose at the crown of the cross. Come ye unto me, my children, and be glad.

And I said: Heavy is the labour, but great indeed is the reward. And the young man answered me: He shall not see the reward; he tendeth the garden. And I said: What shall come unto him? And he said: This thou canst not know, nor is it revealed by the letters that are the totems of the stars, but only by the stars. And he says to me, quite disconnectedly: The man of ea…

Ecstasy lies beyond our gnosis ; as we shall here after see , it carries us out of ourselves , beyond the mere shell of existence , into the very depths of the profound . For the fraction of a second the whole ocean of our being is whirled through a narrow gorge , then once again we are hurled forth in…

… It is for us to carry death away, to plunge it into life. Consider the magnificent and terrible metaphor of St. John; Hell isa sleeping fire. It is a life without activity and without progress; it is sulphur in stagnation: stagnum ignis et sulphuris. The sleeping life is like the idle word, and it is of that that men will have to give an account in the Day of Judgment. Intelligence speaks, and matter stirs. It will not rest until it has taken the form given to it by the word. Behold the Christian word, how for these nineteen centuries it has p…
