…c power, The secrets of forgotten sleep, The birth of knowledge as a flower ! Slow and divine thy gentle breath Wovos my warm throat: my spirit flies Beyond the iron walls of death, And seeks strange portals, pale and wise. My lips are fervent, as in prayer, Thy lips are parted, as to kiss: My hand is clenched upon the air, Thy hand's soft touch, how sweet it is ! The wind is amorous of the sea ; The sea’s large limbs to its embrace Curl, and thy perfume curls round me, An incense on my eager face. O emerald star, deep beauty’s avatar, Are thy …

…n the next twenty-four hours. [188] Ever since the beginning of the second stage of the Great Experiment, Iliel had become deffinitely a Spirit of the Moon While Cyril was with her, she reflected him, she clung to him, she was one with him, Isis to his Osiris, sister as well as spouse; and every thought of her mind being but the harmonic of his, there was no possibility of any internal disturbance. But now she was torn suddenly from her support; she could not even speak to her man; and she discovered her own position as the mere centre of an Ex…

…vu knowest, O Love, how tired our bodies grow Forgotten in quick converse, love to love ; How the flame flickers of the ghost above, The spirit’s kiss; the sleepless to-and-fro Movement of love’s desire too strong to know Or care for that it takes its substance of— As if life’s burden were not drear enough Or death’s deliverance not so far and slow. Our bodies almost perish, with one thought Crowned and completed, consecrate and shrined : A perfect temple of fine amber wrought, Whose shrine’s the body and whose lamp the mind. The heart is pries…

36 SONGS OF THE SPIRIT SONNET. THE woods are very quiet, and the stream Hardly awakes the stilled ear with its word ; The voice of wind above like dawn is heard, And all the air moves up, a sultry steam, Here in the flower-land, where I lie and dream And understand the silence of the bird ; My sorrow and my weakness are interred In the deep water where the pebbles gleam. I rouse the force persistent of my will . To compel matter to the soul’s desire, To make [leaven aid the mind that would aspire To touch its borders, and to drink their fill At…

VENUS. This man was drained of music! Five new songs Chase the three ancient to oblivion! Oh! Love is grown fury! TANNHAUSER. Kall me! VENUS. In the kiss. [TANNHAUSER Sleeps, ACT III.

But had I moulded beauty’s eyes [ had not touched the carving tool Thus tenderly: my spirit dies Before you, but my life still lies Salient, unwounded, and to dule Wakes: I had rather you were now Medusa, of the awful brow, The snaky hair, the face of fear. So could I shut my eyes; feel how Your hair fell back on me and bit, Your lips descended on my face In one exenterate kiss: and wit I should abide a little space— So little a space !—and solemn rise, Face the black vaults of the alone, And,…

…ting to the top of their bent. He would enter into every phase of their [73] strange moods as if he had been absolutely one with them in spirit; then, when they were gone, he would withdraw and look at the whole course of events from without, as if he had had no share in them. But people who saw him only in the first phase thought him easily hoodwinked. The second of the guests of Simon Iff, or, rather, of the Order to which he belonged, was a tall man bowed with ill-health. A shock of heavy black hair crowned a face pallid as death itself; but…

…, because it was supposed that this bird stood continuously upon one leg, motionless. This is quite evidently a symbol of the meditative spirit. There may also have been some reference to the central mystery of the Aeon of Osiris, the secret guarded so carefully from the profane, that the intervention of the male was necessary to the production of children. In this form of Thoth, he is seen bearing the phoenix wand, symbolising resurrection through the generative process. In his left hand is the Ankh, which represents a sandal‐strap; that is to…

What I am, that I am, tis enough. I am part of a glorious game. Am I cast for madness or love? I am cast to esteem them the same. Am I only a dream in the sleep of some butterfly? Phantom of fright Conceived, who knows how, or how deep, in the measureless womb of the night? I imagine impossible thought, metaphysical voids that beget Ideas intangible wrought…

…ten. This egg is to be buried in a cemetery at midnight, and every morning at sunrise it must be watered with brandy. On the ninth day a spirit appears, and demands your purpose. You reply "I am watering my plant." This occurs on three successive days; at the midnight following the egg is dug up, and found to contain a serpent, with a cock's head. This amiable animal answers to the name of Ambrosiel. Carry it in your bosom, and your suit inevitably prospers. Arthwait put this scheme into careful rehearsal, [163] and having got the

It was a young girl of two and twenty years, and she warned him fairly that without the Serpent ° his ways were but as wool cast into the dyer’s vat. ‘Two-and-twenty scales had the Serpent, and every scale was a path, and every path was alike an enemy and a friend.

But Cyril turned his face again to the mountain; she knew that he wanted to perform the evening adoration from the terrace of the house itself. At last they came out from their narrow gangway to the by-street behind the church. It was an old and neglected thoroughfare, far from the main automobile road that runs along the crest. It was a place that the cent…
