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 …

…ooms 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. Obscure. I doubt if the Q’uran forbids sodo- my. See Q’uran XV, where the fault of the people appears to be their breach of hospitality, always a stigma in primitive communities. The Bible is just as broadminded on the point, both in the Story of

…e. Blue Mushtari5 strove with red Mirrikh which should be master of the night — But where is Mushtari, where Mirrikh when in the sky the sun doth shine ? Now El Qahar to Hafiz gives the worship unto poets due :6 — But songs are nought and Music all ; what poet music may define ?

…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 pictureth thy podex as a beautiful garden, wherein like a young child he may play, assuaging thy desire. My member pardoneth the infidelities of thy po- dex ; he conquereth its resistance, and giveth pearly dew, like the stars to the roses, assuaging thy desire. Beautiful is my member as it ope…

…into thy secret beauties ; but I suppose thou needest his needle and thread to re- pair the rents made by thy boasted Qazi. Often have I sung thy podex as the sun, and of a surety he shineth upon all. Thy gait is the gait of a gravid sow ; thou admit- test every hog in Iran to thy sty ; beware, sayeth El Qahar, lest thou bring forth a litter of pigs !6 1. Ka’abah — the “ Holy Place ” at Mecca.

El Qahar will make new songs for thee, till thy fame standeth for ever among men, as the sun standeth in the sky, not to be denied.6 So sayeth El Qahar. 1. Often the case in Persia. 2. Often the case in Persia. 3. Karenian — proverbial expression. (Write this up fully). (Major Lutiy did not live long enough to accomplish this intention and we cannot trace the phrase. Possibly it is more Indian than Persian.)

…a young elephant. 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- gon of El Qahar. Then there is an eclipse5 of all things : Allah is the uniter.6 1. About as vague a personage as we find in Mandeville, Malory, or Moore. It is a curious lite- rary phenomenon that in all countries poets will talk about “ Cashmere ” and “ Cathay ” and so on without the smallest fact to guide them. Yet there is a certa…

Come to me, and I will beat thee sound- ly ; and if thou offendest again I will carry thee be- fore this ass-calibred Qazi—Allah on him !—I kn…

… My member knoweth all the secret places of thy podex, and is longsuffering therein ; great and perpendicular is he within thee like the sun at noon, assuaging thy desire. My member pardoneth the imperfections of thy podex ; worthy of thanks is he therefore, being ex- alted within thee, like a tower of ivory and gold, assuaging thy desire. Great and strong is my member, and protecteth thy podex from his rivals3 ; he exposeth it, and numbereth his emissions, each like the spray of a fountain, assuaging thy desire.

… indeed the fact, O gazelle-eyed boy, that thy podex is excessively wide ; but my member can fill it, pressing in to its length till the sun and moon are at rest upon the snow-hills. This (thou wilt remember) was not the case before thou didst for- sake me. Thou mayest doubtless ask shy, if such were the case, I did not cause thee to be violently enlarged by the eunuchs with divers fruits.6 ’Twould have given thee more pain, O boy of buttocks more beautiful than the peaches of Shiraz !

… compared thy figure to the cy- press, and to a thousand other beautifully shapen things. Also I have said that thine eyes were like the sun for splendour ; and like the gazelle’s eyes for depth and softness ; 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 d…

…t of thy podex ? There is nothing in Iran, or upon the1 whole earth, that is worthy to be spoken of in this matter. The treasures of the sun and moon are not to be compared with it ; if the stars also were to be offered, they would not equal the joy of even the first rubbings of the member against its orifice. The desire of the fanatic is to cast away life at the feet of Heaven ; but for thy podex heaven and life2 together might be thrown away ; and all per- fections of Allah are nor worth one perfection of thy podex. He therefore who would att…

… let the Yogi preserve the semen. 68. If at the time of copulation, the vindu is forcibly emitted, and there takes place an union of the sun and moon, then let him absorb this mix- ture through the tube of the male organ. This is Amarani. 69. The method by which the vindu on the point of emission can be withheld through YONI- MUDRA, is called Sahajoni. It is kept secret in all the Tantras. 70. Though ultimately the action then (Amarani and Sahajoni) is the same, there are arisen differ- ence owing to the difference of nomenclature. Let the Yogi…

…all I find you, sweet acolyte of Salmacis or of Terpsichore, of Bacchus or Sabrina ? Will it be you on yonder bank of yellow moss by the sunspangled rivulet that tumbles noisily from the throne of God ? Will it be you with your fine golden hair like spiders’ webs in the sun, changed to an aureole, and your seductive face still as ever the incarna- tion of one single never-ending scarlet kiss ? Will yours be the long pale hands to mould my body to your liking ; and yours the faithful, the unfailing member that never said me nay ?

…der to obtain quick success in Yoga, drink milk or nectar in this way. 58. Know semen to be moon-like, and the germ- cells the emblem of sun ; let the Yogi make their union in his own body with great care. 59. I am the semen. Sakti (the goddess) is the germfluid : when they both are combined, then the Yogi reaches the state of success, and his body be- comes brilliant and divine. 60. Ejaculation of semen is death, preserving it within is life ; therefore, let the Yogi preserve his semen with great care. 61. Verily, verily, men are born and die …

…fiz uses his symbols vaguely : the tresses of his mi- stress are no doubt the Glories of God, but they are also at times the rays of the sun, the verses of the Q’uran, and so on ; wherefore an uninstructed pupil, or an inquisitive Sahib, or an unauthorised Sufi, one of those who ‘ creep, and intrude, and climb into the fold ’, cannot, by possession of the elementary keys, unlock the Holy of Holies of the ‘ hikmat-i-Illahi ’. It is as a violator of the Magian secrecy, even more than as a Christianizer, that
