The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX brethren, seeing the Sun disappear at night and rise again in the morning, based all their religious ideas in this one con- ception of a Dying and Re-arisen God. This is the central idea of the religion of the Old Zon, but we have left it be- hind us because although it seemed to be based on Nature (and Nature’s symbols are always true), yet we have out- grown this idea which is only apparently true in Nature. Since this great Ritual of Sacrifice and Death was conceived and perpetuated, we, through the observation of our men of scie…

Book 4 (Part I)

…e has become accustomed to Dhyana by constant repetition, no words seem adequate. One of the simplest forms of Dhyana may be called “the Sun.” The sun is seen (as it were) by itself, not by an observer; and although the physical eye cannot behold the sun, one is compelled to make the statement that this “ Sun” is far more brilliant than the sun of nature. The whole thing takes place on a higher level. Also the conditions of thought, time, and space are abolished. It is impossible to explain what this really means :i only experience can furnish …

The Star and the Garter

And ecstacy invades, insults, Outshines the waves of harmony, Lapped in the sun of day; the tides Of wonder flow, the shore subsides ; And over all the horizon Glows the last glimmer of the sun. Ah! when the moon arises, she Shall look on nothing but the sea. 16

Tale of Archais

76 THE TALE OF ARCHAIS And kissed on either cheek by sun and rain. She trembled and began. The troop was fain To keep pure silence while her notes resound Over the forest and the marshy ground. ARCHAIS Green and gold the meadows lie In the sunset’s eye. Green and silver the woods glow When the sun is low, And the moon sails up like music on a sea of breathing snow. Chain and curse are passed away ; Love proclaims the day. Dawned his sunrise o’er the sea, Changing olive waves to be Founts of emerald and sapphire ; he is risen, we are free. Light…

Alice: An Adultery

…picene, Familiar souls of Messaline. And as, when thunder broods afar Imperial destinies of war, Men see the haze and heat, and feel The sun’s rays like a shaft of steel, Seeing no sun ; even so the night Clouds that deep miracle from sight : Until this destiny be done Hangs the corona on the sun ; And I absorbed in those unclean Ghost-haunted veins of Messaline. 12

Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

Richard Buxton . A MEMORY. u CORSE and the curving grass and the sun -heavy a ir were around us : All the world was asleep ; you and I were awake. Slowly the children crept to rest in the shadowy bushes, Slowly still the sun rose in the vacuous sky. Earth and air and our souls were faint in the heat of the noonday ; Slower and yet more slow moved your hand in my hair . Time stood still and the sun had paused his path in the heavens , Not a breath in the air ruffled the leaves of the bush . Even our hearts were still and the restless swarm of ou…

The sun's out: damn their teaching The sun 's out : damn all preaching We are wise , but we will prove We are not too wise to love. Teachers , when you've often said it, You believe much foolishness : Preachers, do you really credit All you tell of happiness ?

…rs the ocean bears. All the garb that gladness wears To a rent uncouth attire Changed with cares ; Happy songs our love had made Ere the sun had sunk his fire, - In the moonrise fall and fade, And the dregs of our desire Fall away to death ; Tears divide our labouring breath That our sister—O our sister ! Moon and sun and stars have kissed her She must touch the lips of death, Touch the lips whose coldness saith : Thou art clay. Let us fare away, away To the ice whose ocean gray Tumbles on the beach of rock, Where the wheeling vultures mock Our…

…s, think worthy to remember How the dust scattered from their fading ember Is their own sign and seal of fatherhood, Grey seas of sorrow sun-kissed into amber. Above me hangs the sun: horrid he hangs, A rayless globe of hell, shooting forth fangs Snake-wise to parch and burn my solitude, Nor leave me quiet lamenting, with these pangs Tearing my liver, more Promethean Than ever Titan knew—the sunbright span Of narrow water mocks me, brightening Far to the indigo Ionian. The sun hangs high, as in the Arabian tale Enchanted palaces defy the gale, …

Ambergris

…pon the summit. Mother Of ages, daughter of ages, cast The fatal die, and turn to death ! Let evolution turn, involving As when the gray sun sickeneth— Ghostly September ! so dissolving Into the pale eternal breath. When all is done, shall this be said. When all is said, shall this be done, The æon exhaust and finishéd, And slumber steal upon the sun, My dear, when you and I are dead.
