MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS 
A bove, the gemme'd azure is 
The naked splendour of Nuit; 
She bends in ecstasy to kiss 
The secret ardours of Hadit. 
The winge'd globe, the starry blue, 
Are mine, 0 Ankh-afna-khonsu! 
(12-14) 
... Since I am Infinite Space, and the Infinite Stars 
thereof , do ye also thus. 
(22) 
... And the sign shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness 
of the continuity of existence, the omnipresence of my 
body. 1 
(26) 
o Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it be ever thus; 
that men speak not of Thee as One but as None; and 
let them speak not of thee at all, since thou art 
continuous! 
(27) 
None, breathed the light, faint & faery, of the stars, 
and two. 
For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of 
union. 
This is the creation of the world, that the pain of 
division is as nothing, and the joy of dissolution all. 
(28-30) 
Obey my prophet! follow out the ordeals of my 
knowledge! seek me only! Then the joys of my love 
will redeem ye from all pain. This is so: I swear it by 
the vault of my body; by my sacred heart and tongue; 
by all I can give, by all I desire of ye all.

this in whiter words. But go forth on)." Ouarda wrote into the MS, later, the five 
words as in text.
