…ZIAOz Lo! I lament. Fallen is the sixfold Star: Slain is Asar. O twinned with me in the womb of Night! O son of my bowels to the Lord of Light! O man of mine that hast covered me From the shame of my virginity! Where art thou? Is it not Apep thy brother, The snake in my womb that am thy mother, That hath slain thee by violence girt with guile, And scattered thy limbs on the Nile? Lo! I lament. I have forged a whirling Star: I seek Asar. O Nepti, sister! Arise in the dusk From thy chamber of mystery and musk! Come with me, though weary the way, …

…, or vows His secrets to another spouse. The moon resolves her beauty in The sea’s deep kisses salt and keen ; The sea assumes the lunar light, And he—their eremite ! In their calm intercourse and kiss Even hell itself no longer is ; For nothing in their love abides That passes not beneath their tides, And whoso bathes in light of theirs, And water, changes unawares To be no separate soul, but be Himself the moon and sea. Not all the wealth that flowers shed, And sacred streams, on that calm head; Not all the earth’s spell-weaving dream And sce…

…d worship, seeing justice as a spouse Lean on thine iron hand. For Murder walks by night, and hides her face, But righteous Wrath in the light, and knows his place; For hate of a mother is ill, and the lightning flashes, But foil a harlot’s will, burn the earth to ashes, Cleanse the incestuous sty of a whore’s desire, Scatter the dung to the sky, and burn her with fire! So the avenging master shall cleanse his fate of shame, Set his seal of disaster, a royal seal to his name. [Exeunt. PACHAD. I am not Horus, but I shall be king. Enter LEPER. TH…

The Cherry Tree I know a cherry-tree by Bendimir1 Whose blossom curves and sways upon the clear Eddies of light ; I have a cedar boat Whose cushions are of dove’s down2 ; let us steer Under that tree and lie alone together What time the West is grey, the stars appear. Then you shall love me as a virgin would ; Shudder a little with a little fear, But yield thy podex to my lotus-wand, Giving some smile twin sister to a tear, Just as the body shudders3 when the soul Gives up to Allah, in its hot career, Identity ; i…
