POWER. THE mighty sound of forests murmuring In answer to the dread command ; The stars that shudder when their king Extends his hand, His awful hand to bless, to curse , or moves Toward the dimmest den In the thick leaves, not known of loves Or nymphs or men ; (Only the sylph’s frail gossamer may wave Their quiet frondage yet, Only her dewy tears may lave The violet ;) The mighty answer of the shaken sky To his supreme behest ; the call 86

Iam come forth from the Path of the Waters: I stand in the World of the Power of God: I turn my face to the Right, and the Gate of the Lion is before me— Gate of the Path of the Lion, in the Sign of the Lion do thou open before my face.

About me the Lions are roaring for their prey; But I am Sekhet, of the Flaming Eyes. Turned is my face to the …

…n in the beginning. 36. Let not that “Heaven-Born,’ merged in the sea of Maya, break from the Universal Parent (SOUL), but let the fiery power retire into the inmost chamber, the chamber of the Heart, and the abode of the World’s Mother. This develops verse 35. The heaven-born is the human consciousness. The chamber of the Heart is the Anahata lotus. The abode of the World’s Mother is the Muladhara lotus.

Nay! nay! the Sire Himself we stole on sleeping—— CHORUS. Hewn apart! Ai Ai! MEDEA. I said not thus! ALCESTIS, I am so wild, Bewildered with these tears. 17
276 THE EQUINOX Half skilled to agonise, half skilled to soothe This passion ineluctable, this power Slave to its single end, to storm the tower That holdeth thee, who art Authentic Truth.

I swoon Beneath the guiding moon ; In thine embrace, the tune Of that one kiss. 40
