Every arrow he launched from his seat, From the white inexhaustible quiver, Smote us right through, Smote us and slew, As we rode on the rapturous river. Sweet sleep is perfection of love. To die into dreams of my lover, To wake with his mouth like a dove Kissing me over and over! Better sleep so Than be conscious, and know Ilow death hath a charm to discover. Ah! float in the cool of the gloaming ! Float wide in the lap of the stream With his mouth ever roving and homing To the nest where the…

Say then: “It is (relatively to V.I.O.) right that he should object, etc., etc.” Use this analysis with all emotions. Don’t allow yourself to think that your own point of view is the only one. Read Liber LXV. Cap I 32-40 and 57-61. This is extremely important: for one thing, if you fail to understand, you will go mad when you come to a certain Gate. (2) You are inclined to vagueness. This is evidently partly caused by the fog of emotion. Before you …

…ink Judas was. j.c. A Cuaste Man. By Louis Umrravitte Witxinson. Alfred A. Knopf. Ir has often been disputed as to how far a novelist is right in showing us the seamy side of life. But the answer admits of no dispute. Truth is the most pre- cious jewel of all. The atmosphere of Mr. Wilkinson’s new book, despite the brightness and insouciance of the manner and the lightness of the incident, is one of the most tragic gloom. The scene opens upon the hero reminding somebody that this is the third application, etc., and unless, etc., yours faithfull…

To-night, while walking, I thought that some time, when I can find the right person, it would be well to get him to record for me one of these experiences such as that of last night, during its occurrence; (1) providing I could speak without altering the state of consciousness; (2) providing I could find the neces- sary person.

THE EQUINOX right that men should circumscribe his liberty by isolating him from his fellows? Another holds back land or some other necessity from the common use; is he to be compelled to surrender it? Such cases of difficulty involve deep philo- sophical principles; and the Areopagus of the Eighth Degree is charged with the duty of resolving them in accordance with the great principles of the Order. “Before the face of the Areopagus stands an independent Parliament of the Guilds. Within the Order, irrespective of grade, the members of each cra…

… You will find out only too soon what it means to do wrong; by our very thesis itself all action is wrong. Any action is only relatively right in so far as it may help us to put an end to the entire process of action. These relatively useful actions are therefore those which make for control, or 'virtue.' They have been classified, entirely regardless of trouble and expense, in enormous volume, and with the utmost complexity; to such a point, in fact, that merely to permit oneself to study the nomenclature of the various systems can have but on…

Salt. She represents a woman with the imperial crown and vestments, seated upon a throne, whose uprights suggest blue twisted flames symbolic of her birth from water, the feminine, fluid element. In her right hand she bears the lotus of Isis; the lotus represents the feminine, or passive power. Its roots are in the earth beneath the water, or in the water itself, but it opens its petals to the Sun, whose image is the belly of the chalice. It is, therefore, a living form of the Holy Grail, sanctified by the blood of the Sun. Perching upon the fl…

I had in mind a prayer that I used to want her to say long ago for I felt it important to pray and teach her to say the little prayer.” (1917, p. 327.) If this isn’t mediumistic cant, I should like to know what is! However, on another occasion, we read: “Go to hell and there you will find the information you seek my sweet friend.” (p. 622.)

THE EQUINOX So Padraic Colum has tried to civilize young America in the right way. No more important task has ever been undertaken, for civilization, education, are fundamental. Reformers usually make the mistake of the empiric, and try to re- lieve the symptoms. It is quite useless to try to relieve the symptoms of America. Willy Pogany is not Flaxman, but he is Flaxman enough for children, and now and again, as in the picture facing page 106 (and several others), he is Flaxman enough for nearly everybody.

Climbing up the left‐hand side of the wheel is Hermanubis, who represents the al‐ chemical Mercury. He is a composite god; but in him the simian element predominates. On the right hand side, precipitating himself downward, is Typhon, who represents the element of salt. Yet in these figures there is also a certain degree of complexity, for Typhon was a monster of the primitiv…
