…me Drag up the courage in me to dispute The battle with despair: awake the strings Stronger than earth, than the immortal kings Alike of death and life: invoke the sea That I may cross her on the viewless wings Of song, find out the desolating river That girds the earth, unloose the silver quiver, Choosing an arrow of sharp song to run Down to the waters that lament for ever :— And cleave them! spell Rive the strong gates of iron-builded hell, And move the heart of the ill-hearted one. Yea ! let me break the portals terrible, That my song’s ins…

…um and its derivatives can take an enormous amount of cocaine without any bother. In the ordinary way, half a grain of cocaine can cause death, but we were taking the stuff with absolute carelessness. One doesn’t think of measuring it as one would if one took it by hypodermic. One just takes a dose when one feels one needs it. After all, that’s the rule of nature. Eat when you're hungry. Nothing is worse for the health than settling down to a fixed ration of sO many meals a day. The grand old British principle of three meat meals has caused the…

…nd never the things in themselves. It became evident that the sorrow of the Universe was caused by the desire of manifestation, and that death could not do more than suppress one form of existence in favour of another. Of course, the smpasse is complete. There seems to be no solution of the problem. It is a vicious circle. At the same time, by acquiescence in actuality, the insane insistence on one’s individual anguish is abated. Sympathy with universal suffering brings one into a certain sombre serenity. It does not show us the way of escape, …

…holds the reins, representing the pas‐ sion which unites them. In her right she holds aloft the cup, the Holy Grail aflame with love and death. In this cup are mingled the elements of the sacrament of the Aeon. The Book of Lies devotes one chapter to this symbol. WaratahBlossom Seven are the veils of the dancing‐girl in the harem of IT. Seven are the names, and seven are the lamps beside Her bed. Seven eunuchs guard Her with drawn swords; No man may come nigh unto Her. In Her wine‐cup are seven streams of the blood of the Seven Spirits of God.…

I will tell it to you to- morrow. The whistle of an approaching engine interrupted this tragic episode of the adventures of Duguesclin.

SEX MORALITY 133 Strive ever to more! and if thou art truly mine-and doubt it not, an if thou art ever joyous-death is the crown of all. Here is confinnation in detail of AL, I: 41. This act is a definite electrical or magnetic phenomenon. No other considerations apply. (It will therefore occasionally seem, to the outsider, unreasonable.) The only exception-it is only apparently so-is when satisfaction of the impulse would manifestly thwart the True Will more than it would help to fulfil it; any such case must be judged on its merits. "But alwa…

…. It was by a gigantic effort that I got up and put some clothes on, and went out and got shaved. Nothing but excitement and the idea of death enabled me to do it. I found the same thing in the war; and so did lots of men. It seems as if the soul is tired of the body, and welcomes the chance to be done with it once and for all. But it wants to offer itself gallantly in a flight or a charge. It objects to dyingin a ditch passively. I am sure that .nothing less would have got us up from that foetid stupor. | We had some champagne before starting,…

…ombast! Is it possible to intensify the devitalizing process, so as to weaken the victim physically, perhaps even almost to the point of death? Yes. How? The traditional method is to get possession of some object or substance intimately connected with the victim. On this you work magically so as to absorb its virtue. It is best if it was as recently as possible part of his living tissue; for instance, a nail-paring, a hair plucked from his head. Something still alive or nearly so, and still part of the complex of energies that he included in hi…

…ilkinson typescript. Thanks are due to Richard W. Gernon ix° o.T.o., who bequeathed a typescript of the commentaries to the Order on his death. Dr. W. F.

…, soaked up into her womb, and she conceived and bare a host of children 36 days later. In vain I stood by her bed- side, fucked them to death as they emerged, and threw them aside. I was beaten. I will not dwell upon this painful subject : suffice it to say that no less than 175 (all girls, with an admixture of mon- key and slug from maternal impressions infidelities I had long suspected without being able to prove) were actually born and our reputations would have been ruined but for the cunning and resource which has ever brought me thro…

…eeping with the general plan. In Paris I wrote "The Soul Hunter", the diary of an insane doctor who has drugged his enemy, certified his death, got possession of the corpse, embedded it in plaster of Paris, and vivisects the brain in order to discover the seat of the soul --- a nice Christmassy idea. Paris disgusted me. I tried to find peace at Moręt, but found only boredom, and went off to Venice with a bad throat which gave me the idea of the story "Cancer?" In this a distinguished painter imagines himself to have cancer of the throat --- and…

…it is certain of success. So then we have a man not only very well prepared to reincarnate at once-this means about six months after his death, for his vehicle will be a foetus about three months old, but to extirpate more deliberately all impressions that may assail its integrity. Alternatively, there may be something in the nature of such impressions that is unsuitable for carrying over into the conscious mind of the new man. Or there may be a rule-e.g., the draught of the waters of the River Lethe-and it might be possible for some Adept (who…
