122 Devotion better than learning. XXXV ZAMZEM1 These holy talks and scriptures, truth to tell, Are foul to taste as Mecca’s holy well. Give me my boy’s narcissus waist to hold, His jasmine podex2 to my raptured smell, His rosy lips and coralline to kiss — Well saith the sage that youth’s sole heaven is hell ! A thousand times a night the Fatihah3 Did I recite — my member did not swell. Once for a night I slept with my Habib — A thousand times that member rose and fell !4 Love and not worship is the key of life ; Silence, not prayer, the univer…

…ys of thy podex, like Azrael6 for death, as- suaging thy desire. My member is the only one that will fit thy po- dex, and he is the most holy on, as the Beyt Ullah is the most holy among mosques ; he is the sole member, like Arafat7 among mountains, assuaging thy desire. My member is unaccompanied in thy podex ; powerful is he, yea ! most mighty, and hasteneth from orgasm to orgasm, like a man bringing tidings of victory, assuaging thy desire.

R. is the Father, W. the Son, And E. the Holy Spirit, three and one : But if they esoterically are read My equal name shall glitter out instead. Yes ! we must not sing hymns to Pan to- day : we must pretend to be German professors, with a keen scientific interest in these very re- markable phenomena which look so much like madness, and which our own perfect sanity and the effulgence (possibly a shade alto) of our dis- creet and legal passion for our …

…aining of the metaphor is involved ; the poet rests in calm and beatific certi- tude of “ a good death, and a joyful resurrection in His holy kingdom ! ” Yet there is no false piety, no arrogance ; and like every straight-living man, he is capable of honest laughter, almost in the same breath.

… cheeks ! O lips of rose ! the joy of Allah ye assume, Rejoicing in the luscious play, the slippery splendour of the spume Cast from the holy hiding-place for ever till the day of doom. Rejoice, O podex, in thy strength ! thy spasms like the stars illume Earth’s darkness, life’s disgrace, abash the trifling terrors of the tomb. The nargis scent shall steal about the world, assuage its fret and fume,

…r of mine is compassionate and mer- ciful unto thy podex, of which he is king, greater than two-hoared Alexander,2 assuaging its desire. Holy is this member and bringeth peace to thy podex ; to him thou art faithful, like a child to its mother’s breast, assuaging thy desire. Terrible is my member to thy podex, causing him to tremble, but also he is dear ; strong he is and proud, like a peacock spreading his splendour in the sun, assuaging thy desire. [persian] Ba My member hath created thy podex ; he hurteth thee with a delicious pain, and pict…

…ah purify mine ears ! — by a certain Sufi, who, being excessively drunk, had lost control over his tongue. For he said that in a certain holy meditation both Allah and himself were destroyed, and that nought re- mained, but only the consciousness of bliss.1 This is contrary to reason, for how can bliss exist, ex- cept as the quality of some person or sensible thing ? Nevertheless, these experiments which I have performed upon thy podex, solely with a view to investigating these statements,2 make for a similar conclusion. It is excessively annoy…

…ited with su- pernatural powers. There is an Arab saying — I think by Averrhoes — “ God is the square root of man ” : and a certain very holy Fakir (only recently dead) determined to discover the nature of God by working out √3. He is said to have engraved over a thousand pounds weight of thin silver plates — supplied by the faithful — with the minute charac- ters of his calculations. At his death these plates were distributed and of course worked innumera- ble miracles. Should such a plate come in the pos-

But no crone in Shiraz can seduce thee, O vir- tuous one ! Thou openest, it is true, thy podex, which appears like the sun through a dissolving mist upon Friday,4 but it is only to admit the dra- go…

The Vindu-Siddhi, power of retaining the se- men, is one of the most interesting and important branches of Hathayoga, the Hindu “ Physical Cul- ture.” The following from the Shiva Sanhita, concern- ing the Vajroli Mudra, affords an adequate example of the method and aim. 53.

Its waters are excessively foul, and even the most devout make a wry face when drinking them. 2. Jasmine podex — surely a true perversion of sense ! Yet the adjective is as invariable as pius for Aeneas and fidus for Achates. 3. Fatihah, the first chapter of the Q’uran. To recite it 1,000 times nightly causes one to become a great Sheikh. 4.

… dis- gust2 which is fatal to passion. Even the mouth, like the vagina, remains in a somewhat greasy condition after it has achieved the holy task, and we have no hesitation in plumping the anus as the one vase into which the perfumed oil of manhood may be poured without exciting a reaction.3 This point being established, let me further4 make a distinction between the two great classes of sodomites. Ulrichs has pedantically christened them Urning and Uranodioning : for the former we have no colloquial name : the latter we term Bime-

(The Urning, the Bimetallist and the carcerophobe, and the holy sodomite to whom his passion is a sacrament, leading him on the straight road into the very arms of God). He that is able to receive it, let him receive it ! The law manufactures sodomites as it manufac- tures habitual criminals. Legalize sodomy, and you will diminish it ; or even if, as you seem to fear, you increase it, you will see no change in society but an advance in re-
