…e, and no sign dost Thou vouchsafe me; I whisper love-words before Thee, and I know not if Thou hear me, Thou who art the darling of the Night and of the Silence; Yellow art Thou as the sunlight through the corn-fields, Bright as the sun-dawn on the snow-clad mountains, Slow as the voice of the great green gliding River. Calmly in Thy silence am I come to rest me, Now from the world the light hath slowly faded ; I have left the groves of Pan that I might gaze upon Thee, Gaze upon the Virgin that before Time was begotten, Mother of Chronos, and …

Thou shudderest, clinging to me; though the night Jewels her empire with the frosty crown Of thousand-twinkling stars, whose hoary crests Burn where light touches them, with diamond points Of infinite far fire, save where the sea Is ebony with sleep, and though the wind Pierces the marrow, since it is the word Of the Almighty, and cuts through the air That may not stay its fury, with a cold Nipping and chill, it is not in the wind ; Nor though the thund…

Yea, with gladness did they pæan, bowing low be-fore my car, In my ears their homage echoed from the sunrise to the star. I have risen ! I am gathered as a lovely hawk of gold, I the first-born of the Mother in her ecstasy of old. Lo! I am come to face the dweller in the sacred snake of Khem ; Come to face the Babe and Lion, come to measure force with them ! Ah ! these locks flow down, a river, as the e…

…CES It is a pleasure to be thy tutor,1 Habib ; thou learnest swiftly, and (I think) wilt not soon for- get. When thou camest in to me at night thou wast all in tears ; and clasping my feet didst moan exceedingly, and beseech pity. Yet when I smote thy buttocks with the whip, bidding thee be cheerful, thou didst rise instant with laughter and smiles. Thou didst put on thy old provoking coquetry ; though for many days thou hadst drunk nothing but water, thou didst comport thyself as one in whom the wine first blu- sheth.2 Also when my love revive…

I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power; the wand of the Force of Coph Nia—but my left hand is empty, for I have crushed an Universe; & nought remains. 73.

It has always been my custom on this night to look back over the year, and to ask: What have I done? The answer is invariably “ Nothing.” Yet ofwhat men count deeds I have done no small share. I have travelled abit, written abit . , . I seem to have been hard at it all the time—and to have got nothing finished or successful. One Tragedy—one little comedy—two essays—a dozen poems or so—two or three short stories—odds and ends of one sort and anothe…

In Mexico, D.F. for instance, I took my bedroom itself for the Circle, my night table for the Altar, my candle for the Lamp; and I made the Weapons compact. I had a Wand eight inches long, all precious stones and enamel, to represent the Tree of Life; within, an iron tube containing quicksilver-very correct , lordly, and damsilly. What a cub! Also, bought, a silver-gilt Cup; for Air and Earth I made one 167

Ambergris

…life was spilt From fervent lips the torch of song to ignite : Thou mayst add yet a stone—if but thou wilt. And yet the days stream by ; night shakes the day From his pale throne of purple, to allay The tremors of the earth ; day smiteth dark With the swift poignard dipped in Helios ray. The days stream by ; with lips and cheeks grown pale On their indomitable breast we sail. There is a favouring wind ; our idle bark Lingers, we raise no silk to meet the gale. The bank slips by ; we gather not its fruit. We plant no seed, we irrigate no root Tr…
