…e of boisterous bassoons, heralded in our unknown knight, who, with the ravaging roar of ten thousand thunders, has flung down before the world his adaman tine gauntlet of Ecstatic Truth, which has sent the Old World a-tottering like Bacchus in his cups, and the sparks flying upwards, blinding the starry eyes of God. In this literary cataclysm the hosts of Corelli will be swallowed up, and above the bubblin suction of unkissed lips will the voice of Crowley, like the bellowing of a love-frenzi bull, reclaim himself lacehus—the Second Christ, and …

When I eventually learnt how to use my astral eyes and ears, there was no confusion; the other world had certain correspondences with our own, but it was perfectly distinct. I seem to have made a very determined effort to prevent the obliteration of my spiritual consciousness of the world beyond the veil by the ink of terrestrial experience.

That black giant which reaches its wings from east to west to hide the light from the world, that monster who devours souls, that frightful divinity of ignorance and fear—in a word, the devil, —is still, for a great multitude of children of all ages, a fright- ful reality.
