The PRIEST SPEAKS 37 Nov sun is mirrored in its treacherous water, Only the fulse moon flickers and its by Like to the bloodless phantom shape of slaughter Laughing a lipless laugh - a mockery, A ghastly memory to wake and weep —-Shouid Sorrow let me sleep. No current draws a man, to his fair seem- ing, Yetall the while he whirlsa stealthy sweep Narrower, nearer, where the wave is steam- ing With the slight spray tossed from that funnel deep Which dips, one wide black shaft, most horrible, Down to the nether ITell. Yet there seems time. God’s g…
… _Its savour faded, nor my soul aware. I turned and went away, away, away, Out of the night that was to me the day, And_rode to meet the sun to hide in light The sorrow of the day that was the night. So I rode slowly in the morning gray, And all the meadows with the frost -were white. And lo! between the mountains there uprose The winter sun; and all the forest glows, And the frost burns like fire before my eyes, While the white breeze awoke with slumberous sighs And stirred the branches of the pine ; it knows, It surely knows how weary are the…

…tless listening forests tales Of far - off mountains , and the pathless sea Where footsteps live only in the dreams of men . At dawn the sun called forth the hosts of leaves Marshalled to hail him in bright green and gold , Paling before him in the light of noon , Rich - clad in evening , as though each still leaf Spoke strange dreams to the sky and setting sun In speech to men and beasts inscrutable . Then night , hushing the day , brought them to sleep , And , haunted , woke the phantoms of still shapes Tossing their muted shadows ' gainst th…
…fest in flesh, Arise, create the world afresh ! The silence of my heart is one With memory’s insatiate night ; I hardly dare to hope the sun. I seek the darkness, not the light. O Lord Harpocrates,? be still The moveless centre of my will ! My sorrows are more manifold Than His that bore the sins of man. My sins are like the starry fold, My hopes their desolation wan. O Nuit,’ the starry one, arise, And set thy starlight in my skies ! In darkness, in the void abyss, I grope with vain despairing arms. The silence as a serpent is, The rustle of t…

Ra Hoor is the Sun God ; Tahuti is the Egyptian Mercury; Khephra is the Sun at midnight. About your problems : what I have to do is to try to teach you to think clearly. You will be immensely stimulated by having all the useless trimmings stripped from your thinking apparatus. For instance, I don't think you know the first principles of logic. You apparently take up a more or less Christian attitude, but at the same time you…

But now the ancient root Of some wise oak betrays her to her lover: She stumbles and falls prone: the forest noon Guesses life’s law ; all nature’s tune Tells that the hour is come when May must grow to June. -Then in the broad glare of the careless sun Apollo’s light is on her and within ; His shafts of glory pierce her one by one; His kisses darken,…

The Deacon brings the crown from the High Altar. (The crown may be of gold or platinum, or of electrum magicum; but with no other metals, save the small proportions necessary to a proper alloy. It may be adorned with divers jewels, at will. But it must have the Uraeus serpent twined about it, and the cap of maintenance must match the scarlet of the Robe. Its texture should be v…

But the light is without heat. It is the vision of Ut in the Upanishads. And from this vision have come all the legends of Bacchus and Krishna and Adonis. For the impression is of a youth dancing and making music. But you must understand that he is not doing that, for he is still. Even the hand that turns the wheel is not his hand, but only a hand energized…
