…TERIES: Dogs with men’s faces, and we beat them off With scabbard, and the hideous path wound on. And these perplexed our goings, for no light Gleamed through the bare pine-ruins lava-struck, Nor even the hellish fire of Etna’s maw. But suddenly we came upon a pool Dank, dark, and stagnant, evil to the touch, Oozing towards us, but sucked suddenly, Silently, horribly, by slow compulsion Into the slipping sand, and vanishing, Whereon we sawa little boat appear, And in it such a figure as we knew Was Death. But she, intolerant of delay, Hailed hi…

…y sword Trenchant, that tore their scaly essences— Like Lucian’s sailor writhing in the clutch Of those witch-vines—I slashed about like light, And noises horrible of death devoured The hateful suction of their clinging arms And wash of slipping bellies. Presently Sense failed, and Nothing! | Bye-and-bye we woke In a most beautiful canoe of pearl Lucent on lucent water, in a sun That was the heart of spring. But the green land Seemed distant, with a sense of aery height ; As if it were below us far, that seemed Around. And as we gazed the water…

…e. Lo! through the fire the mantram comes to me, Shouted by the world in chorus, and I lie In utter rapture; the virginity Of the inmost Light, that knows not how to die. Oh, cast thy mantle over me! I am taken By the goddess! Sprinkle water on my head, Lest I in rapture care not to awaken, Knowing the utter glory of the dead. Oh! I am back, wet-eyed, with panting breath: I have seen the nuptials of Desire and Death! (1x) There are no mortal songs that shall avail To bring the Mystery into the mind 191

If, nervous as I know you to be, you, G, easy-going and light-hearted as you are, K and J, if you had been harnessed with a certain woman that I knew, you would have either fled or died. I have survived, as you see. Imagine to yourself a person incapable of committing an error of sentiment or of calcula- tion. Imagine to yourselves a devastating se- renity of character, a devotion without comedy and without emphasis, a sweetness without weakness, an energy without violence. The his- tory of my love resembles an interminable voyage upon a…

…hat a Man must first be initiate, and established in Our Law, before he may use this Method. For in it is an Implication of our Secret Enlightenment, concerning the Universe, how its Nature is utterly Perfection. Now every Thought is a Separ- ation, and he Medicine of that is to marry Each One with its Contradiction, as I have shewed formerly in many Writings. And thou shalt clap the one to the other with Vehemence of Spirit, swiftly as Light itself, that the Ecstasy be spontaneous. So therefore it is Expedient that thou have ravelled already i…

Yet the drift of the stars is to beauty, To strength, and to infinite pleasure. The toil and the worship and duty Shall turn them to laughter and leisure. Were the world understood Ye would see it was good, A dance to a delicate measure. Ye fools, interweaving in passion The lyrical light of the mind ! Go on, in your drivelling fashion ! Ye shall surely seek long and not find. From without ye ma…

…, so it glows and rolls, Caught in the furnace of the sun, opaque To eyes that seek its depth, but penetrable By those long filaments of light beyond. See, the spot darkens, and a horseman spurs A flagging steed with bloody flanks, and waves A cloudy sword to heaven—I am sure He brings us eagle-wingéd victory, And tiding of no battle lost for Israel. Yes, he grows great before the sun, and stands Now in his stirrups, and shouts loud, and waves A blade triumphant. Now the weary horse Stumbles with thundering strides along the last

Thee I invoke, abiding one, Thee, centre and secret of the Sun, And that most holy mystery Of which the vehicle am I. Appear, most awful and most mild, As it is lawful, in thy child ! For of the Father and the Son The Holy Spirit is the norm ; Male-female, quintessential, one, Man-being veiled in wom…

Forests and ancient haunts of sleep See dawn’s intolerable spark While yet fierce darkness lingereth. So I, their traveller, sunward creep, Hail Ra uprising in his bark, And feel the dawn-wind’s sombre breath. Strange loves rise up, and turn, and weep ! Our warm wet bodies…

Ye shall see them at rule, at victorious armies, at all the joy; and there shall be in them a joy a million times greater than this. Beware lest any force another, King against King! Love one another with burning hearts; on the low men triumph in the fierce lust of your pride, in the day of your wrath. 25. Ye are against the peo…

There the sun strikes the earth obliquely, and the slow alternation of light and night suppresses variety and in- creases monotonythat better half of nothing. There we may take prolonged baths of shadow, while, to amuse us, the Aurora Borealis will send us from time to time its rosy sheaves, like the reflection of the fire-works of Hell.

Somewhere this stream must leap Down vales divinely steep Into some vain unprofitable deep !”’ So mused the king. moon shone!
