…wonderful Work- ings bring good out of apparent evil. I had wished to dwell for awhile upon the de- lightful memory of my Leilas fly-by-night as it ap- peared in the all too brief period of her pregnancy. Imagine the gradual heaving up of her greasy belly under ones very fuck, the constant tickling of ones thumb of love by the innumerable fingers new-made of the many foetuses, the curious slime that filled her, and floated one away into dreams of bliss not to be described ! Yes, it was a glorious time but, look here, young fellow, this tal…

…n this Book, and the Glad Tidings are now here, now there, scattered throughout the Book as the Stars are scattered through the field at Night. Rejoice with me, all ye people! At the very head of the Book stands the great charter of our godhead: “Every man and every woman is a star.” We are all free, all independent, all shining gloriously, each one a radiant world. Is not that good tidings? Then comes the first call of the Great Goddess Nuit, Lady of the Starry Heaven, who is also Matter in its deepest metaphysical sense, who is the infinite i…

… such as I’d never seen before, quite out of keeping with his character. ‘‘ You doll yourself up and try the doctors. A man told me last night that there were some who would give you a prescription if you paid them enough. A tenner ought to do the trick.” He pulled some dirty crumpled notes out of his trousers’ pocket. “Here you are. For God’s sake, don’t be long.” I was as keen as he was. All the will to stop had been washed out of me when Basil went. My self-respect was annihilated. | Yet I think it was reluctance to go that kept me hanging a…

… by restrictions of time and place. One can only think of lovers who live with fearsome families or in inhospitable lodgings, on a rainy night, buffeted from one police-bullied hotel to another. Perhaps this permission is intended to indicate the propriety of performing the sexual act without shame or fear, not waiting for darkness or seeking secrecy, but by daylight in public places, as serenely as if it were a natural incident in a morning stroll. Custom would soon surfeit curiosity, and copulation attract less attention than a new fashion in…

…hat gave rise to the circumstances which it was so difficult to over- look. Well, you know, this man Feccles had been a perfect dear the night before. He had seen Lou through the worst of the business with the utmost good taste at the moment when her natural protector, myself, was physically unable to apply the necessary what-you- may-call-it. Well, of course, the way things were at the moment, I wished Feccles in the place that modern Christianity has decided to forget. But the least I could do was to ask him to lunch. But before I had time to…

A man in that country could earn double wages if he could do without sleep, for they work much the same by night as they do by day.’ ‘That was written three thousand years ago, and even the name of the woman who wrote that poem, albeit it is one of the most famous poems in the world, is lost.

…fter it. I then went of in the boat, but he caught me as I was pushing off, overturned the boat on top of me and tried to drown me. That night the gods still further favoured me. For a village girl named Belle McKay found herself with nothing better to do than to roam with me amid the heather. We returned together quite openly and Fothergill threw up the sponge. He took me back to London the next morning. Breaking the journey at Carlisle, I repeated my victory with a buxom chambermaid. But murder is not the only amusement open to pious tutors. …

He won't look for me there, and the angels will be on the watch. It came out all right. I slept on the seat of the car. I had a dreadful nightmare, and woke sweating all over. Then I went to sleep again. I was with six angels who carried me through the air to a place which I mustn’t describe. It is a great and wonderful mystery. It is awful and miraculously w…

King Lamus [ntervenes 257 -“ Hardly a salubrious neighbourhood,” he remarked. “T think we ought to celebrate the occasion by making a night of it in my studio, and to-morrow morning we must see about getting you some decent rooms.” I remembered that our supply of heroin was in Greek Street. “You know, Lamus,’”’ I stammered, ‘‘ I’m ashamed to admit it, but we really can’t get on without H.

Sooner or later it is suc- ceeded by dépréssion -— the Dark Night of the Soûl, an infinité weariness and détestation of the work. The simplest and easiest acts become almost impossible to perform. Such impotence fills the mind with appréhension and despair. The intensity of this loathing can hardly be understood by any person who has not experienced it. This is the period of Apophis. It is followed by the arising not of Isis, but of Osiris. The ancient condition is not…

…ight of the sun. I must explain that we had climbed Da'leh Addin, a mountain in the desert, as enjoined by the Angel during the previous night. I now withdrew from the Aethyr and prepared to return to the city. Suddenly came the command to perform a magical ceremony on the summit. We accordingly took loose rocks and built a great circle, inscribed with the words of power; and in the midst we erected an altar and there I sacrificed myself. The fire of the all seeing sun smote down upon the altar, consuming utterly every particle of my personalit…
