…ve, albeit he hath forsaken me. These are One God in many: praise ye Him ! : and praise pure AGAVE, We praise indeed who made the choral world And stars the greatest, and all these the least Flowers at our feet: but also we may praise This Dionysus, lord of life and joy, In whom we may perceive a subtle world Hidden behind this masquerade of things. O sisters, thither, thither ! ORPHEUS., All deceit. Delusive as this world of shadows is, That subtler world is more delusive yet, Involving deeper and still deeper: thought, Desire of life, in that…

…ur youth, Achieving the exalted aim 3 Because you have gained a higher truth To call it by a lower name.” XIX. ROsE on the breast of the world of spring, I press my breast against thy bloom, My subtle life drawn out to thee: to thee its moods and meanings cling. I pass from change and thought to peace, woven on love’s incredible loom, Rose on the breast of the world of spring ! How shall the heart dissolved in joy take form and harmony and sing? How shall the ecstasy of light fall back to music’s magic gloom? O China rose without a tnorn, O hon…

To lose ? Ay ! earth and heaven for one small kiss ! But he shall sing beside our fire The epic of the world’s desire; How Freedom fares, how Art yet revels Sane in the dance of dogs and devils.

…rewards of the Adept are comprised in the maxim “ Keep silence!” There should be no possible point of contact between the Church and the world: Paul began the ruin of Christianity, but Constantine completed it. The Church which begins to exteriorise is already lost. To control the ethics of the state is to adopt the ethics of the state: and the first duty of the state will be to expel the rival god Religion. In such a cycle we in Eng- land seem to be now revolving, and the new forced freedom of the Church is upon us. If only the destruction is …

For brighter from age unto age The weary old world shall renew Its life at the lips of the sage, Its love at the lips of the dew. With kisses and tears The return of the years Is sure as the starlight is true. Yet the drift of the stars is to beauty, To strength, and to infinite pleasure. The toil and the worship and duty Shall turn them to laughter and leisure. Were the world understood Ye would see it was good, A dance to a delicate measure. Ye fools, …

The red mouth moves, still to the word: ‘* Ves, love!” and ‘‘yes, love!” Then I heard No sound and saw no sight—the world Folded its mighty wings, and curled Its passion round us; bade forget The joy with which our eyes were wet. All faded, folded in the bliss ; Unfolded the first fadeless kiss. Then my soul woke, not sundering lips, But winged against the black eclipse Of sense: my soul on wings did poise Her glory in the vast turquoise Of the whole sky : expanded far Beyond the farthest sun or star, Beyond all space, all …
