THE WILD ASS
I
THE secret of the House of Set
Is hidden in my sevenfold veil ;
For I am he that doth beget
The Rood, and bear the Holy Graal.
Yet is my manhood woman-frail,
Barren my motherhood. Then how
Shall men my mystic mountain scale?
These ram’s-horn thumbs jut from my brow
To push them to the miry slough
Wherein the foes of Set are caught.
Come, let us pluck the Golden Bough
From the brave Tree of life and thought !
Who heareth naught, he heedeth naught.
Come, we are safely housed and shrined
Where subtler images are wrought
Than boast the treasuries of Mind!
