THE EQUINOX have hidden all things in the cave of my heart. I have slain all things because I am Innocence. I have lain with all things because I am Untouched Virginity. I have given birth to all things because I am Death. Stainless are my lips, for they are redder than the purple of the vine, and of the blood wherewith I am intoxicated. Stainless is my forehead, for it is whiter than the wind and the dew that cooleth it. Tam light, and I am night, and I am that which is beyond them. I am speech, and I am silence, and I am that which is beyond …

…riginal. "Utter the Word of Majesty and Terror! True without lie, and certain without error, And of the essence of The Truth. I know The things above are as the things below, The things below are as the things above, To wield the One Thing's Thaumaturgy — Love. As all from one sprang, by one contemplation, So all from one were born, by permutation. Sun sired, Moon bore, this unique Universe; Air was its chariot, and Earth its nurse. Here is the root of every talisman Of the whole world, since the whole world began. Here is the fount and source …

DESESPOIR NTO the inmost agony of things She sees, through glamour of untrusty sense, The full corruption of omnipotence, The infinite rage of fishes to have wings, The lust of beasts for tentacles; caught thence . Corollary, syllogism, she strides tense Into the inmost agony of things. So, fearless, amid gods and evil kings, She sits, poor wretch, eternal scientist, Straining mild muscles, leaving to its list The spasm-shaken body. So she flings The teeth-set fate of Fortune’s face unkissed Against the fiat: sets her clenchéd fist In his face:…

IX. So, be content! Should science cleave The veil of things and show us peace, ‘Well :—but by wild imagining Think not a golden robe to weave! Such moulder. By fantastic ease Ye come not well to anything. Work and be sober: dotage thinks By worth of words to slay the Sphinx. x. Things as they are—of these take hold, Their heart of wonder throb to thine! All things are matter and force and sense, No two alone. All’s one: the gold Of truth is no reward divine Of faith, but wage of evidence. The clod, the God, the spar, the star Mete in thy measu…

Perchance to thee These logs, nails, bolts, tools, have some life of sense, Some subtle language. Tell us what they say! THESEUS. ’Tis but a giber—leave the churl alone. JASON.

But, in this jungle, what high heaven immures Us in its silence, the supreme serene Crowning the dagoba, what destined die Rings on the table, what resistless dart Strikes me?

Nay ; not in love, or faith, or hope is hidden The drug that heals my life; I know too well How all things lawful, and all things forbidden Alike disclose no pearl upon the midden,…

H . O . Meredith . “ There is a chaos throned above the throne, Law is the servant of no destiny : Law is a shadow thrown From shapes of things by fires of Anarchy . Formless are the fires , unconfined , Neither obedient to their own desires, Nor serving other mind . They are and are not , neither live nor die ; Nor quicken , nor consume truth or lie : All things reveal them , nothing can illume ." 122

Those with more experience understand that this truly represents things seen, although those things are themselves totally false. At first the seer will perceive gray gloom ; in subsequent experiments perhaps figures may appear with whom the seer may converse, and under whose guidance he may travel about. This " plane " being quite as large and varied as the material Universe, one cannot describe it effectively; we must refer the reader to Liber O and to Equinox II, pages 2…

…he mighty spaces between molecules ; a mystery of the ether-cushions that fend off the stars from collision! A mystery of the fulness of things ; a mystery of the emptiness of things! Yet, as we go, there grows a sense, an instinct, a premonition—what shall I call it ?—that Being is One, and Thought is One, and Law is One—until we ask What is that One? Then again we spin words—words—words. And we have got no single question answered in any ultimate sense. What is the moon made of? Science replies ‘Green Cheese.” For our one moon we have now two…

Yes, sleepless nature soundless flings Invisible grapples round the soul, Drawing her through the web of things To the primal end of her journeyings , Her ultimate and constant pole . For Beauty with her hands that beckon Is but the Prophet of a Higher, A flaming and ephemeral beacon , A Phoenix perishing by fire . Herself from us herself estranges , Herself her mighty tale doth kill , That all things change yet nothing changes , That all things move yet all are still . 175

Who stir the serpent feel the fang. ‘*All is a dream!” the wise man spake. Who grasp the bubble find it break. Aye, to all three the saga saith: There is no joy in life but death.
