…to the bliss of the Beloved! 30. 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. I trembled at Thy coming, O my God, for Thy mes- senger was more terrible than the Death-star. 34.

…jazz. The dancers raved with more tumultuous and breath- less fury. Lou had advanced again to our table. We three were detached from the world. Around us rang the shrieking laughter of the crazy crowd. Lou seemed to listen. She broke out once more. “O Thou mad whirlwind of laughter, that art meshed in the wild locks of folly! I adore Thee, Evoe! I adore Thee, I A O!” I realised with nauseating clarity that Mrs. Webster was pouring into my ears an account of the character and career of King Lamus. “I don’t know how he dares to come to England at…

That falling petal seemed to the little ones a wave to engulph their continent. 37. So they will reproach thy servant, saying: Who hath set thee to save us? 38. He will be sore distressed. 39. All they understand not that thou and I are fash- ioning a boat of mother-of-pearl. We will sail down the river of Amrit even to the yew-groves of Yama, where we may rejoice exceedingly. 40.…

…te stream! 54. Also the stream of the stars floweth ever majestical unto the Abode; bear me away upon the Bosom of Nuit! 55. This is the world of the waters of Maim; this is the bitter water that becometh sweet. Thou art beautiful and bitter, O golden one, O my Lord Adonai, O thou Abyss of Sapphire! 56.

You notice that even Charles Dickenswho may yet go down to history for having wished to prosecute Holman Hunt, of all people in the world, for painting indecent picturestakes very much this popular view of medicine and pharmacy in Pickwick. I think, then, it is not altogether unfair to assume that Gilles de Rais was to a large extent the victim of Catholic logic. Catholic logic: and the foul wish- phantasms generated of its repressions, and of its fear and ignorance. He wanted to confer to a boon on humanity ; therefore he consorted with …

…th is from the House of Death . I have risen ! I have risen ! as a mighty hawk of gold ! From the golden egg I gather , and my wings the world enfold . I alight in mighty splendour from the throned boats of light ; Companies of Spirits follow me ; adore the Lords of Night . Yea , with gladness did they pæan , bowing low before 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 come to face the dweller in the …

…iece of Phidias, would it not be an absolutely beautiful and absolutely good work ?—and would not he deserve the execration of the whole world who would propose to break it because it was the representation of a monster? Scandalous statues are those which are badly sculptured, and the Venus of Milo would be desecrated if one placed her beside some of the Virgins which they dare to exhibit in certain churches. One realizes evil in books of morality ill-written far more than in the poetry of Catullus or the ingenious Allegories of Apuleius. There…

… that the Adept has no business to break up his domestic circumstances. The Rosicrucian Doc- trine that the Adept should be a man of the world, is much nobler than that of the hermit. If the Ascetic Doctrine is carried to its logical conclusion, a stone is holier than Bud- dha himself. Read, however, Liber CLVI. 22. Thus teach the Tirthikas, the unbelievers. It is a little difficult to justify the epithet “unbeliever”—it seems to me that on the contrary they are the believers. Scepticism is sword and shield to the wise man. But by scepticism on…

…dra manner, the Venetians gathered themselves in panic-stricken crowds in the Square of St. Mark and waited, howling, for the end of the world. It was accordingly easy enough to associate the pursuit of knowledge with the most abominable crimes, real or imaginary or both. For this reason, we hearnot as a demonstrated thesis, but as a commonplace of inherited knowledgethat Jews were sorcerers and wizards. In other words, they know something about grammar.

Quickly overrunning the civilized world, it has penetrated (auspice Teucro) into the very remotest steppes of Central Asia, the wildest savannahs of the American prairie, where dog and oyster burble in plethoric harmony among the verdant shoots of cactus and coyote, where the giant Appomattox rolls in sulky majesty to the red bays of the Pacific. The Society formed to exploit this unheard- of invention is, naturally, of a most secret nature: perhaps…

…should one day Take me to seek your Studio— Tell me, when all your work goes right, Painted to match some inner light, What of the outer world you know ! Surely, your best work always finds Itself sole object of the mind’s. In vain you ply the brush, distracted By something you have heard or acted. Expect some tedious visitor— Your eye runs furtive to the door ; Your hand refuses to obey ; You throw the useless brush away. I think I hear the Word you say ! I practice then, with conscious power Watching my mind, each thought controlling, Hurling…
