THE EQUINOX 66. Write, & find ecstasy in writing! Work, & be our bed in working! Thrill with the joy of life & death! Ah! thy death shall be lovely: whoso seeth it shall be glad. Thy death shall be the seal of the promise of our agelong love. Come! lift up thine heart & rejoice! We are one; we are none. 67. Hold! Hold! Bear up in thy rapture; fall not in swoon of the excellent kisses! 68. Harder! Hold up thyself! Lift thine head! breathe not so deep—die! 69. Ah! Ah! What do I feel? Is the word exhausted? 70. There is help & hope in other spells…

…; Already has the morning fled from me, And the stars call, and they are madly sweet With some lost vision that I know not of: It is not Death ; I think it is not Love. For I have tasted death and love, and these Shall not suffice; for love and death are one; In all the secret star-wrought harmonies, By married death and love is man undone. There is some secret thing I wot not of; It is not death; I know it is not love. So do my songs end here ; the hour is fled, And there are no more roses; I am fain To cease from singing. Wait! the hour is sp…

166 THE EQUINOX XIII DEATH THE ways are fixed unto the last abode Of death ; there is no sign-post on that road ; No man hath found it, and no man shall find The secret way under the heavens : blind Is knowledge, for within man’s mortal brain There is an end to thought, an end to pain; And there is death, a cool, gray, silent place, Calm in the afterglow of life; one grace Kept pure and holy, and one sacred thing In the deep centre of the mystic ring Of life, whence all roads lead, a winding path Through plains of dumb despair and sunless wrath…

… It is said! No more may I unveil The mystery! The way is hidden from me. I know not; but the aching dream still stays, Burning me up to death; the cool, strong death, Even death I shall slay in the cool, strong colonnades: I shall bear the Rose of life to the heart of death. And death shall lead me back to the shadowy river, The murmuring waters shall mock me then no more. I shall know, and knowing I shall strive again, Shall ever strive until the petals fall! There is no way for me, my darling, now, Save one ; the hour is passed, and I have c…

THE EQUINOX great Catholic Count Joseph de Maistre so well understood ; this is why the penalty of death is a natural right, and will never disappear from human laws. The stain of murder would be indelible if God did not justify the scaffold ; the divine power, abdicated by society and usurped by criminals, would belong to them without dispute. Assassination would then become a virtue when it exercised the reprisals of outraged nature. Private vengeance would protest against the absence of public expiation, and from the splinters of the broken …

…ves upon coal. One day, medicine will make use of this property, and nervous persons will find great relief from it. CHAPTER II LIFE AND DEATH.—SLEEP AND WAKING SLEEP is an incomplete death; death is a complete sleep. Nature subjects us to sleep in order to accustom us to the idea of death, and warns us by dreams of the persistence of another life. The astral light into which sleep plunges us is like an ocean in which innumerable images are afloat, flotsam of wrecked existences, mirages and reflections of those which pass, presentiments of thos…

… and all those who abandon themselves to the delirium of a passion. They have heard the fatal music, they have entered into the dance of death; and they feel themselves dragged away into the whirl of vertigo. You speak to them, they no more hear you; you warn them, they no longer understand you, but your voice annoys them; they are asleep with the sleep of death. Death is a current which carries you away, a whirlpool which draws you down, but from the bottom of which the least movement may make you climb again. The force of repulsion being equa…

… maybe, for Love sits weeping In my desolate heart, nor know I what can ail him, Save it be that thou art fled; immortal Love And mortal Death, and are ye separate still, Even as I and as the unknown Rose? Maybe the Rose is Death, and I am Love, Wed to young Life, and jealous of desire Of Death! Oh, in the cool green colonnades I have lingered late, even till the night’s slow fall, And I have heard the dying voices of day, The market-women’s chatter growing faint In the twilight, and the drovers plodding home With their heavy beasts; and the da…

…hout for joy, for we are saved, and all those who loved us in their lives rejoice in heaven! We all bear within ourselves a principle of death and a principle of immortality. Death is the beast, and the beast produces always bestial stupidity. God does not love fools, for his divine spirit is called the spirit of intelligence. Stupidity expiates itself by suffering and slavery. The stick is made for beasts. Suffering is always a warning. So much the worse for him who does not understand it! When Nature tightens the rein, it is that we are swerv…

Then he calls softly Eurydice, his dear Eurydice, his so much loved Eurydice: Ah! miseram Eurydicen anima fugiente vocabat, Eurydicen! toto referebant flumine rip. While he sings, that pallid statue of the sculptor death takes on the colour of the first tint of life, its white lips begin to redden like the dawn . . . Orpheus sees her, he trembles, he stammers, the hymn almost dies upon his lips, but she pales an…

Life and death, two and one, Hate and love, moon and sun, Light and darkness, never swerve From the norm, note the nerve, Name the name, exceed the excess Of thy lamp of loveliness, Living snake of lazy love, Ithyphallic that uprears Its Palladium above The enchantment of the years !

CHAPTER IV MYSTERIES OF PERVERSITY Human equilibrium is composed of two attractions, one towards death, the other towards life. Fatality is the vertigo which drags us to the abyss; liberty is the reasonable effort which lifts us above the fatal attractions of death. What is mortal sin? It is apostasy from our own liberty; it is to abandon ourselves to the law of inertia. An unjust act is a compact with injustice: now, every injustice is an abdication of intelligence. We fall from that moment under the empire of force whose reactions always crus…

All I know is, that the death certificate was signed and the burial licence made out; eighteen hours later they were going to bury me, and here I am.” CHAPTER III THE GRAND ARCANUM OF DEATH WE often become sad in thinking that the most beautiful life must finish, and the approach of the terrible Unknown that one calls death disgusts us with all the joys of existence.

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES death always begins. The state of profound peace which succeeds the agitations of life carries away the relaxed and sleeping soul; one cannot make it return, and force it to plunge anew into life, except by exciting violently all its affections and all its desires. When Jesus, the Saviour of the world, was upon the earth, the earth was more beautiful and more desirable than Heaven; and yet it was necessary for Jesus to cry aloud and apply a shock in order to awaken Jairus’s daughter. It was by dint of shudderings and te…

Do you understand now what Lucifer is? Js 2t not the very genius of ancient Prometheus, that force which sets in motion the world, life, even movement, and which regulates the course of successive forms? This force, by its resistance, equilibrated the creative principle. It is thus that the Elohim gave birth to the earth. When, sub- sequently, men were placed upon …

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES Werther, and therefore we wish to die! Poor children, it is not death that you need, it is life. Since you have been in the world you have died every day; is it from the cruel pleasure of annihilation that you would demand a remedy for the annihilation of your pleasures? No, life has never deceived you, you have not yet lived. What you have been taking for life is but the hallucinations and the dreams of the first slumber of death! All great criminals have hallucinated themselves on pur- pose; and those who hallucinate …

He rose from death to reign throughout the ages’ dance ; He is the sun that melts the clouds of ignorance.
