She leapt within, and bent Her own white shoulders to the thwart, and bade Me steer, and keep stern waich with sword unsheathed For fear of something that her soul had seen Above. And thus upon the oily black Silent swift river we sailed out to reach Its source, no longer feeling as compelled, But led by some incomprehensible Passion. And here lewd fishes snapped at us, And watersnakes writhed silently toward Our craft. But these I fought again…

I who have found the heart of the shining triangle, who have indeed become one with the Great White Brotherhood, who have heard the Voice of God in all Its sweetness, who have made that message a part (nay all) of my being, who have held my Beloved in my arms, who have Become my Beloved and lost myself therein, who have for ever given up my lower self, who have conquered Death, who have felt the Pain of the whole World, who have found Wisdom, Love and Power, who have given up All to become Nothing, I w…

…tia and insensitiveness must charac‐ terize peace. The climate of India is perhaps partly responsible for this notion. The Adepts of the White School, of which the Tarot is the sacred book, cannot agree to such a simplification of existence. Every phenomenon is a sacrament. For all that, a disturbance is a disturbance; the five of Wands is called Strife. On the other hand, the Five of Cups is called Disappointment, as is only natural, be‐ cause Fire delights in superabundant energy, whereas the water of Pleasure is naturally placid, and any dis…

…e dark indigo Voiceless and deep, no light is hard within To shame love’s lips and rouse the silky skin From its dull olive to a perfect white. For scarce an hour the golden rim of light Tinges the southward bergs; for scarce an hour The sun puts forth his seasonable flower, And only for a little while the wind Wakes at his coming, and beats cold and blind On the wild sea that struggles to release The hard grip from its throat, and lie at ease Lapped in the eternal summer.

198 Miss Q., after an interview, asked P. to tea to meet Mrs. M. After introduction, she left the room to make tea --- the White Magick and the Black were left face to face. On the mantelpiece stood a bronze head of Balzac, and P., taking it down, seated himself in a chair by the fire and looked at it. Presently a strange dreamy feeling seemed to come over him, and something velvet-soft and soothing and withal lecherous moved across {335} his hand.

The only signs of his passage were bruised and broken twigs, and occasional footprints. We came up with him pretty soon.
