…Dazly News. Tannhduser. 10s. A remarkable ‘‘ Pilgrim’s Progress” in dramatic form. This work may be regarded as the culmina- tion of the Author’s powers in lyrical and dramatic work : he has apparently said the last word possible on the subject of Regeneration. The Cambridge Review prefers ‘‘the vigour of Mr. Crowley’s ‘ Tannhauser’ to the Attic monotone of the Master (Swinburne).” This rare pamphlet is almost exhausted. As most people know, Berashith is the first word of the book of Genesis, and the essay contains a complete solu- tion of the …

Magnificent poems—pagan in their intensity and vividness of colouring.”— Oxford Magazine. The Soul of Osiris. 5s. ‘<The depth and volume and the passionate inten- sity of the feeling in many of these poems are un- mistakable, as are the frequent richness and vision- ary splendour of the imagery and the aptness and the transfiguring power of the rhythms.”—New York Nation.

The poetical epilogue is beautiful and con- tenting.” —Lite…
