76 AMBERGRIS FROM THE ARGONAUTS At Waikiki Light shed from seaward over breakers bending Kiss-wise to the emerald hollows : light divine Whereof the sun is God, the sea his shrine ; Light in vibrations rhythmic ; light unending ; Light sideways from the girdling crags ex-tending Unto this lone and languid head of mine ; Light, that fulfils creation as with wine, Flows in the channels of the deep : light, rending The adamantine columns of the night, Is laden with the love-song of the light. Light, pearly-glimmering through dim gulf and hollow, B…

THE EQUINOX Light creates forms in accordance with the laws of eternal mathematics, by the universal equilibrium of light and shadow. The primitive signs of thought trace themselves by them- selves in the light, which is the material instrument of thought. God is the soul of light. The universal and infinite light is for us, as it were, the body of God. The Qabalah, or transcendental magic, is the science of light. Light corresponds to life. The kingdom of shadows is death. All the dogmas of true religion are written in the Qabalah in character…

Light, eternal as God, begins every day for all eyes that are open to see it. Truth will be eternally the invention and the creation of genius; it cries: Let there be light! and genius itself is, because light is. Genius is immortal because it understands that light is eternal. Genius contemplates truth as its work because it is the victor of light, and immortality is the triumph of …

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES This substance is what Hermes Trismegistus calls the great Zelesma. When it produces splendour, it is called Light. It is this substance which God creates before everything else, when He says, “ Let there be light.” It is at once substance and movement. It is fluid, and a perpetual vibration. Its inherent force which sets it in motion is called magnetism. In the infinite, this unique substance is the ether, or the etheric light. In the stars which it magnetizes, it becomes astral light. In organized beings, light, or ma…

6 ARGONAUTAE Light, as I swim through rollers green and gleaming, Sheds its most subtle sense to penetrate This heart I thought impervious to Fate. Now the sweet light, the full delight, is beaming Through me and burns me: all my flesh is teeming With the live kisses of the sea, my mate, My mistress, till the fires of life abate And leave me languid, man-forgotten, deeming T see in sleep, in many-coloured night, More hope than in the flame-waves of the light. Light! ever light! I swim far out and follow The footsteps of the wind, and light inva…

Its Phoenix plumage to immortal ashes Whereof one fleck, a seed of spirit spun, Whirls itself onward, and creates a sun. Light interfused with Light, a sparkling spasm Of rainbow radiance, spans the cosmic chasm; Light crystallized in Life, Life coruscating In Light, their mood of magick consummating The miracle of Love, and all the awe Of Need made one with Liberty's one law; A fourfold flower of Godhead, leaf and fruit And seed and blossom of one radiant root, Resolving all the being of its bloom Into the rapture of its own perfume.

The universal light, when it magnetizes the worlds, is called astral light; when it forms the metals, one calls it azoth, or philosophical mercury ; when it gives life to animals, it should be called animal magnetism. The brute is subject to the fatalities of this light; man is able to direct it. It is the intelligence which, by adapting the sign to the thought, creates forms and images.

AMBERGRIS 113 FROM GARGOYLES Prayer The light streams stronger through the lamps of sense. Intelligence Grows as we go. Alas : its icy glimmer Show dimmer, dimmer The awful vaults we traverse. Were the sun Himself the one Glory of space, he would but illustrate The night of Fate. Are not the hosts of heaven in vain arrayed ? Their light dismayed Before the vast blind spaces of the sky ? O galaxy Of thousands upon thousands closely curled ! Your golden world Incalculably small, its closest cluster Mere milky lustre Staining the infinite darkness…

Then only was Heaven established to bear sway; for only in the lowest corruption is form manifest. Also did Heaven manifest in violent light, And in soft light. Then were the waters gathered together from the heaven, And a crust of earth concealed the core of flame. l Around the globe gathered the Wide air, And men began to light fires upon the earth. 45

Soft, secret Rose, I bear upon my breast the golden sign ; I wear thee on my breast, and I am thine— Light as the summer oak-leaves, gold as the god On the shimmering sea calling the winds to rest.

…nd butter ; Ailing boys and coarse-grained girls Grown to sloppy women and brutal churls. So, I am off with staff in hand To the endless light of the nameless land. Darkness spreads its sombre streams, Blotting out the elfin dreams. I might haply be afraid, Were it not that the Feather-maid Leads me softly by the hand, Whispers me to understand. Now (when through the world of weeping Light at last starrily creeping Steals upon my babe-new sight, LightO Light that is not light !)
