The Star in the West BY CAPTAIN J. F. C. FULLER FOURTH LARGE EDITION NOW IN PREPARATION THROUGH THE EQUINOX AND ALL BOOKSELLERS SIX SHILLINGS NET A highly original study of morals and religion by a new writer, who is as entertaining as the average novelist is dull Nowadays human thought has taken a brighter place in the creation: our emotions are weary of bad baronets and stolen wills; they are now only excited by spiritual crises, catastrophes of the reason, triumphs of the intelli— gence. In these fields Captain Fuller is a master dramatist. V…

THE EQUINOX Magus, the card numbered ι, the first departure from 0, but referred to Beth, 2, Mercury, the god of Wisdom, Magic and Truth. And this Magus has the twofold aspect of the Magician himself and also of the “ Great Magician " described in Liber 418 (EQUINOX, No. V., Special Supplement, p. 144). Now the formula of the mystic is much simpler. Mathematically, it is 1- 1 :0. He is like a grain of salt cast into the sea; the process of dissolution is obviously easier than the shock of worlds which the magician contemplates. “ Sit down, and f…

O spheres compact of fire and dew, Lamps of the hollows of the mountain, What dream angelic fathered you On what celestial fountain? Nayl but I lay on lower earth Stagnant in sunless meres!

THE EQUINOX THE NYMPH [sing.] In the well Where I dwell, It is cool, it is dusk; But the truth Of my youth Is a palace of musk. Truth comes bubbling to my brim ; Light and night are one to Himl In the dark You may mark The slow ooze of my springs, But you know Not the glow Where the soul of me sings. Truth comes bubbling to my brim ; Life and death are one to Him! There is cold In the old Grey gloom of my caves; There is heat In the beat Of my passionate waves. Truth comes bubbling to my brim ; Love and hate are one to Him. [They dance and retu…

And this: Sulphur, Salt, and Mercury: Which is master of the three? Salt is Lady of the Sea; Lord of Air is Mercury. Now by God’s grace here is salt Fixed b…

THE EQUINOX But Ida Pendragon, pale and fragile as rare porcelain, twisted herself and found no peace. Edgar bent over her, as vigilant as on the night of her first ordeal. In the shadow stood a physician ; at the bedside sat a nurse, and in her arms a Child. “ Brother! ” she said faintly, “ the number of the grade is Three, and I have given myself three times. Once to the brute, once to the man—my man! (her hand pressed his, oh! too feebly !) and now—40 God!“ The tears sprang to his eyes. “ It is for you,” she whispered, “ to understand the chi…

Whence was the wind that swayed the woods On their bestial beatitudes? Or what garden of rose and violet Lay under the moon wherein they revelled? She is like a poppy-petal. All the seas of sleep are hidden Under the languorous eyelids, whose Lashes are long and strong to bruise My heart where her lusts like hornets settle On sacred leaves, on flowers forbidden. She is like a drug of wo…

I dared not whisper the sudden fear Of my heart in your miracle of an ear, Jeanne! I tightened my lips, and my hand on yours; So that you might think I loved you more. But now in the midnight the thought endures, And the love—ah what is the dream we adore?

There shall be no more roses, no more roses, Until the spring of the stars shall fall on the world, Then shall be light again, Ο secret Rose, And thou shalt be born anew, with radiant star-light For dew, and all thy petals shall be dreams Crystallised of the gods who swing the chains Of the worlds in space ; and at the heart of thee Shall be the secret knowledge, the sacred word, The logos of the throbbing …
