THE EQUINOX of hasheesh delirum, another dose, however small—yes, though it be no larger than half a pea—be employed to prolong the condition, such agony will inevitably ensue as will make the soul shudder at its own possibility of endurance without annihilation. By repeated experiments, which now occupy the most horrible place upon my catalogue of horrible remem- brances, have I proved that, among all the variable phenomena of hasheesh, this alone stands unvarying. The use of it directly after any other stimulus will produce consequences as ap…

THE EQUINOX Thought alone, then, reveals light, and creates it in using it for its own purposes. The affirmation of atheism is the dogma of eternal night: the affirmation of God is the dogma of light!

The others are the keys of Nature ; we shall return to them in the third part of this work.

But I had then, at least, the excuse of inexperience and youth. Your pamphlet lacks conviction, because it lacks discrimination. Your inten- tion was doubtless to protest against errors in belief, and abuses in morality: and behold, it is…

THE EQUINOX a slave, he would have become an actor or a gladiator, and would not have burned Rome: would it be to him that one should be grateful for that? Nero was the accomplice of the whole Roman people, and those who should have prevented them incurred the whole re- sponsibility for the frenzies of this monster. Seneca, Burrhus, Thrasea, Corbulon, theirs is the real guilt of that fearful reign ; great men who were either selfish or incapable! The only thing they knew was how to die.

THE EQUINOX good St. George Bernard Shaw! With a spear thou hast pierced its side, and there floweth forth beer and water. Turn also, gramercy, upon the others, even unto the lowest. As Ibsen hawked at carrion birds with a Wild Duck, so do thou create some harpy to torment them. Who is this that followeth thee? Behold this mumbler born to butcher the English language, and educated to hack it with a saw! This stuttering babbler, this Harpocrates by the compulsion of a Sloane Square Mammurra!

THE EQUINOX of her throne are sculptured the Ram, and the Sparrow, and the Cat, and a strange fish. Behold! How she shineth! Behold! How her glances have kindled all these fires that have blown about the heavens! Yet remember that in every one there goeth forth for a witness the justice of the Most High. Is not Libra the House of Venus? And there goeth forth a sickle that shall reap every flower. Is not Saturn exalted in Libra? Daleth, Lamed, Tau. And therefore was he a fool who uttered her name in his heart, for the root of evil is the root of…

The first is the signature of Typhon. It expresses the blasphemy of the evil spirit by establishing dualism in the creative principle.

I came to the house of the Beloved, and the wine was like fire that flieth with green wings through the world of waters. 31. I felt the red lips of nature and the black lips of per- fection. Like sisters they fondled me their little brother; they decked me out as a bride; they mounted me for Thy bridal chamber. 32. They fled away at Thy coming; I was alone before Thee. 33.

…ould be intelligently prepared so that others may benefit from its study. 8. The Book John St John published in the first number of the “Equinox” is an example of this kind of record by a very advanced student. It is not as simply written as we could wish, but will show the method. 9. The more scientific the record is, the better. Yet the émo¬ tions should be noted, as being some of the conditions. Let then the record be written with sincerity and carej thus with practice it will be found more and more to approximate to thé idéal. - 368 -
