108 The Origin of Religion. XXVIII THE POTTER The dew is on the rose ; behold The sun illume them with his gold ! My dew is on thy rose ; what Light Their love with rapture doth enfold ? They are immune from Life and Death ; From heat and hunger, thirst and cold. The worn ascetics1 of the mosque Guess not what joy the ages hold. Seek we the tavern and the stream, The garden and the grassy wold ! No potter fashioned thee, o man ! ’Tis thou that didst the Potter mould. From Fear grew Hell, from Hope sprang Heaven ; From Love our Ecstasy untold.2 …

AN ESSAY BY THE Reverend P.D. CAREY It is sunset, and the rose rays fall aslant the woodland ; they trace patterns of wondrous wit- chery on the velvet of the glade. A ruddy glow ligh- tens the marble leer of the all-glorious one, the child of Arcady, the ineffable Pan — Pan ! Pan ! Io Pan ! — before whom I lie prostrate with my robes careless and freeflung, so that the red warmth of Apollon burns on my live quivering flesh, as I lie

…, losses of goods, punishment from great men, none of these things cause him to rise from his divan, or to remove the silken tube of the rose-perfumed huqqa from his mouth. I can even take pleasure with Laila, O no longer jealous one ! When thou wast away from me, I was unable to regard her or her companions (the thunder-smitten bitches2 !) without excessive sick- ness. It was for thy sake, o mischievous one ! that I caused the eunuchs3 to fornicate with Zuleikah in a painful manner, while I beat her with whips of hide. So that she became uncon…

…ftness ; many other things very well composed have I sung concerning thee.1 I have even compared the perfume of thy podex to that of the rose, and I take Allah to witness that this is not so, except by favour of Him in whom all is One.2 I was faithful and diligent in love, and worshipped thee above all save Him to whom alone worship is due. Thou didst cast me off for thy filthy lovers — Allah forget them ! — and now thou comest back thou thinkest still to play the master. No, by Allah ! thy podex doth not resemble the rose, or another flower ; …

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,

50 The Impotence of Thought to perceive Reality. VI THE CURTAIN Thy podex, like a rose, within Thy buttocks, sprays of jessamine, Buds to my kisses ; then the wine Sets this old head of mine aspin, So that I push thee to thy knees— A worship, darling, not a sin. Deep as I plunge, I do not break Within the velvet of thy skin. Do what I will, thy Self is hid From me by envy of the Jinn. So, when I think, I cannot pierce The truth of things ; I cannot win Unto the real ; life’s wheel is kept From turning by its axle-pin.1 But swing thine hips and …

The Pleasure God hath in Man. 47 IV AFLUTIN1 Habib I sing, whose heart-enslaving kun2 Is like a rose on Ruknabad3 in June. Like to the soft throat of a nightingale It throbs and glows—O life-dissolving swoon ! But once my spear hath threaded the djirid,4 It clutches as the dragon grips the moon. Till all is dark but the Unlighted Light,5 And all is still but the Unexampled Tune.5 So, when thou smilest on him, dearest lad, Is El Qahar wiser than Aflatun. 1. Aflatun — Plato. 2. Kun [Persian text] anus. 3. Ruknabad — a streamlet of Persia, near Sh…

Above me sing the birds, around the rose and lily blush and pale ; Mine is a bower of eglantine, my couch of lilac and nargis. The cup of wine is in my hand ; the slaves await the master’s word ; My huqqa2 smoke to heaven curls, laden with maddening cannabis.3 I feel upon my jasmine-jar these eyes ; this brain its beauty knows, Its perfume roused to ecstasy by cunning strain of ambergris.4 Above, Habib my lover hangs ; his podex is the jasmine-j…

…eeds not the frogs, but lets them croak. So in thy podex I delight, Nor heed at all what Allah spoke.2 While stands my member, blooms by rose, Wine I can drink, or huqqa3 smoke, So long I laugh at Aflatun, And fun at Aristu4 I poke. Thy buttocks with their splendid sun This joy in me have ever woke ; In rapture alway El Qahar His spirit is content to soak. 1. Pious folk — Wahhabi [Persian text] the Mus- lim strictarians. 2.

…g o’er breasts of tender earth in spring, So gleams thy podex, beautiful Habib, My brother and my lover and my king ! For Mars is like a rose and ball of fire2 ; For Mars is like a serpent with its sting. There is a pain, an ecstasy, a woe, A joy, athrob within the wondrous thing. The dull and boneless devotees of twat— Leave them to grovel ; we are well a-wing. Yet twitch that podex, like the wandering way Of Mars within the everlasting ring.3 So shall my member, like the nightingale,4 Salute thee with melodious twittering. I made thee famous …

…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 universal spell. For while I knelt, how could I clasp Habib ?5 And while I prayed, how kiss ? Adorable And perfect boy, thy podex serves alike My member both to challenge and to quell ! So say the Sufis ; Allah wakes desire For Him, and grants it, Life is like a shell That rouses echoes of some distant sea To Zahid-lubbers all …

The word used here is [Persian text] ‘ hearing ’ and also “ the Song and Dance of the Mevliviyeh dervishes.” Thus far Palmer ; and I can learn no more. But probably the word is used to emphasize the purely religious nature of the passion.

138 The relations between the twins of rapture. [persian] Gim My member supporteth thy podex as a rose-tree its flower ; all night long it humbleth and exalteth itself, like the moon, assuaging thy desire. My member cherisheth thy podex, drawing it close ; and hateth it, pressing it away, it heareth all the petition of thy podex, like a maiden enrap- tured by a lute, assuaging thy desire. My member seeth all podices, and judgeth that thy podex alone is beautiful ; just is he therein, and consoleth it with pearly dew, brighter than the eye of a …

The member of El Qahar will wallow therein like a water buffalo at noon in the pools of mud. Come, Habib, thou hast not been sodomized since sunset ; the member of El Qahar is erect and straining like a fresh horse ; before darkness falls thou must be sodomized five times.4

The more orthodox among the Musulman are rather scanda- lized at the eulogies bestowed upon the “ juice of the grape ” by their best poets, such as Hafiz for example ; and …
