Fire in my heart and music to my pzan Lend, that my song bow, past the empyrean, Phoebus, before thee ! All the old worship in this land is broken ; Yet on my altar burns the ancient censer, Frankincense, saffron, galbanum, intenser ! Ornaments glisten. Robes of thy colour bindme for thy token. My voice is fuller in thine adoration. Thine image holds its god-appointed station. Lycian, listen ! My prayers more …

If he wake her, Air, water and spirit and fire Rush in to uproot her and break her :— Yet he is the broken ; the pyre, And the flame and the victim; the maker, And master and sire! And all that is, is force. A fatal and witless course It follows without remorse With never an aim. Caught in the net we strive ; We ruin, and think we thrive ; And we die—and remain alive :— And Pan is our name! For the misery catches and winds us Deep, deep in the endless…

…My open spirit by their influence, And taught imine ears to catch no doubtful sound Of prophecy, but fix it in my mind, A lambent liquid fire of poetry Full of all meaning as the very stars. Yet of my own life they have never breathed One chilly word of fear, or one divine Roseate syllable of hope and joy. Still less of love. For no sweet life of love Lies to my hand, but I am bound by Fate To the strong compulsion of the sword; my lips Shall fasten on my wife’s not much; nor those Pure lips of innocent girlhood that call me Father ; but my lip…

And lo! between the mountains there uprose The winter sun; and all the forest glows, And the frost burns hke fire before my eyes, While the white breeze awoke with slum- berous sighs And stirred the branches of the pine; it knows, t surely knows how weary are the wise! Even my horse my sorrow understands, Would turn and bear me to those western lands ; In love would turn me back ; in love would bring My thirsty lips to the one perfect spring— My iron soul upon my trembling hands Tad its harsh will ; my bitterness was…

…ascribed to one or more of these Gunas: Tamas is darkness, inertia, sloth, ignorance, death and the like; Rajas is energy, excite‐ ment, fire, brilliance, restlessness; Sattvas is calm, intelligence, hicidity and balance. They cor‐ respond to the three principal Hindu castes. One of the most important aphorisms of Hindu philosophy is: “the Gunas revolve”. This means that, according to the doctrine of continual change, nothing can remain in any phase where one of these Gunas is predominant; however dense and dull that thing may be, a time will c…

But he shall sing beside our fire The epic of the world’s desire; How Freedom fares, how Art yet revels Sane in the dance of dogs and devils. His thunder voice shall climb and crash, Scourge liars with tongue’s lightning lash, Through ranks of smitten tyrants drive, Till bosoms heave, and eyes outflash, And it is good to be alive. He shall ride off at dawn, and we Shall look upon our life again 3; You old, and all your beauty be Broken, a…

O mistress of my SONG OF CHARICLES. Man’s days are dim, his deeds are dust, His span is but a little space, He lusts to live, he lives to lust, His soul is barren of love or trust, His heart is hopeless, seeing he must Perish, and leave no trace ; With impious rage he mocks the bounds - Of earth, albeit so wholly base ; Ilis ears are dead to subtle soun…

Alas, the will flies ere the power began. Lo, in the Idan grove Invoking Zeus to swell the power of Pan, The prayer discomfits the demented man ! Lust lies as still as …

When we apply these symbols to Yoga, we find that fire represents the Yogi, and water the object of his meditation. ((You can, if you like, reverse these attributions. It makes no difference except to the metaphysician. And precious little to him!) The Yod and the He combine, the Father and Mother unite, to produce a son, Vau. This son is the exalted state of mind produced by the union of the subject and the object. This state of mind is called Samadhi in the…
