… MOON The Eighteenth Trump is attributed to the letter Qoph, which represents Pisces in the Zodiac. It is called the Moon. Pisces is the last of the Signs; it represents the last stage of winter. It might be called the Gateway of Resurrection (the letter Qoph means the back of the head, and is connected with the potencies of the cerebellum).

Bacon blames the ancient and scholastic philosophers for spinning webs , like spiders out of their own entrails ; the reproach is perhaps unjust , but out of the web of these spiders , Crowley has himself twisted a subtle cord , on which he has suspended the universe , and swinging it round has sent the whole fickle world conception of these excogitating spiders into those realms whi…

We may think, perhaps, that Browning is “hedging” when, in the last paragraph, he say s : “For Blougram, he believed, say, half he spoke,”* and hints at some deeper ground. It i…

…anything than I am reminded of the excellencies of thy love, the perfections of thy podex. Upon these I dis- course fluently, so that at last the guests are weary. Only last night I was bidden by Yusuf,2 that ill- conditioned3 bastard ! to hide my head therein, if so I loved it ; adding that, thanks to the Qazi, there would be no difficulty in performing the task. Both these reproaches are thy fault, Habib ! O beautiful one ! thou hast bewitched me and thou hast betrayed me. But as thy beauty excuses the former, so does thy return make an end o…

IN A LESBIAN MEADOW I UNDER the summer leaves In the half-light Love his old story weaves Far out of sight. Here we are lone, at last. Heaven is overcast Yet with no night. Ere her immortal wings Gather the thread of things Into her might, Up will the moon arise Through the black-azure skies : Birds shall sing litanies Still of delight. II Let my lips wander where Tender moss grows, Where through their dusky air Beams a red rose. Where the bee honey sips Let my desirous lips, Kissing, unclose 23

And upon the secret things that were there shown to me I ponder yet; so that in this place I shall make no mention of them. But this treasure will I give out, that everything noble in that House seemeth vile to them that are swimming in the stream; and everything vile to them appeareth noble. Thus they endure not the delicate stuffs with rough and impure handling; and the rubbish they carry away with them, and devour. Thus wisely hath the master of the House ordain…

A last glance over his shoulder showed him that a bearded man had risen and was handing a flower to Muriel. And Muriel was blushing and trembling with some emotion too profound to estimate, but clear enough to the analyst. When a man has detected a thousandth of a grain of atropine in the carcass of a barmaid, he does not hesitate to read the heart of a girl. And as a Government expert he was clothed with official…

Lay them together. And the hollow hill Shall echo me “ together,” and the sky, And the wide sea, and all the fragrant air, Shall linger in the tumult of the dawn. Lay them together. And the still small voice Shall whisper “ Peace,” and in the evening “ Peace.” 35
