…w ! Our cold hearts waiting Thee to shine Like sunrise on the utmost snow. Thy favour melt our life in tears, Till, gathering force, our love be hurled An avalanche upon the years, A tempest on the barren world ! As all the clouds of India break In one wild gust upon the sand, And in one week of wonder wake The whole green gladness of the land ; So be Thy mercy on us poured, Thy beauty fill our aching brains ! Although it smite us as a sword And fill us with immortal pains ; Yet in its life our souls revive ; By virtue of Thee we endure. The en…

…e solemnity of the occasion with proper dignity, and got up and shook hands. Then, running down behind him, came an even smaller boy. “‘ Love law, love will,” he said. It was obviously a point of politeness. “ They don’t know what to say,”’ explained the elder boy in a lenient tone. ‘‘ My name is Hermes,” he said to Lou, “and this is my friend Dionysus.” We broke into a fit of uncontrollable laughter which Hermes evidently thought highly improper. But Dionysus said to Lou, “I'll dive you a bid tiss.” She caught up the astonishing brat, and retu…

36 The Law is for All bending down, a lambent flame of blue, all-touching, all penetrant, her lovely hands upon the black earth, & her lithe body arched for love, and her soft feet not hurting the little flowers: Thou knowest! And the sign shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness of the continuity of existence, the omnipresence of my body. 27. Then the priest answered & said unto the Queen of Space, kissing her lovely brows, and the dew of her light bathing his whole body in a sweet-smelling perfume of sweat: O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let…

…nature serveth alway to point out the higher per- fection under the veil of the lower perfection. So then all the Art and Craft of human love shall serve you as an hiero- glyphic: for it is written that That which is above is like that which is below: and That which is below is like that which is above. Therefore also doth it behove you to take well heed lest in any manner you fail in this business of purity. For though each act is to be complete on its own plane, and no influence of any other plane is to be brought in for interference or admix…

… utterly damnable is that I understand what I am doing. This complaining rambling rubbish is the substitute which has taken the place of love. What have I done to forfeit love ? I feel as if I had died and got forgotten in some beastly place where there was nothing but hunger and thirst. Nothing means anything any more except dope, and dope itself doesn’t really mean anything vital.

…. Their intimacy (or rather identity) is independent of ail partial forms of expression ; at its best it is therefore as inarticulate as Love. The intensity of the consummation will more probably compel a sob or a cry, some natural physical gesture of animal sympathy with the spiritual spasm. This is to be criticised as incomplète self- control. Silence is nobler. In any case the Adept must be in communion with his Angel, so that his Soûl is suffused with sublimity, whether intelligible or not in ternis of intellect. It is évident that the stre…

…nd with more cruel zest make good the shackles of the Crucifix. So be it, in thy arms I rest, lulled into silence by the strain Of sweet love-whispers, while I drain damnation from thy tawny breast. Nor heed the haggards sun’s eclipse, feeling thy perfume fill my hair, And all thy dark caresses wear sin’s raiment on thy melting lips— Nay, by the witchcraft of thy charms to sleep, nor drain that God survive ; To wake, this only to contrive—fresh passions in thy naked arms ; And, at that moment when thy breath mixes with mine, like wine, to call …

O glory of the tangled net! O subtle vase of scented oils! You laughing little light of wickedness! Through all the misty wind of light that glamours round you, sorceress, Your face shines out with feline grace, exults, a tiger in the toils! They shall not hold your passion in: fling, fling your lips, my murderess, On mine that I may pass away, a vapour that your passi…

Your kindly love for little girls And ardour for the fine old faith Makes all that past a wisp, a wraith. You patronise our Sunday schools, Pronounce on Grammars darkest rules, Rebuke bad taste, irreverence, Heresy, humbug, and pretence.

A lion shall rise and swallow thee, Bringing back life into Arcady. So strong shall he roar that the worlds shall quake And the waters under the heaven break, That the earth, of thy father’s hate accurst, Shall be greener and gladder than at first.

The love in my heart melts all the winter of my body, and the warm salt spring gush from my eyes upon the ground — surely the latter spring shall see green violets grow thereon ! Then, in the hush of the sunset, come noiseless hoofs treading the enamelled turf ; and ere I know it a fierce lithe hairy body has gripped mine, and the dread wand of magic shudders it live way into my being, so that the foundations of my soul …

… out. She lay upon my breast and held my hand. I felt my strength come back to me when it was called on to support her weakness. And our love grew up anew out of that waste of windy darkness. I felt myself completely purged of all passion ; and in that lustration we were baptised anew and christened with the name of Love. But although nature had done her best to get rid of the excess of the poison we had taken, there remained a residual effect. We had arrived at the hotel very weary, though as a matter of course we had insisted on Feccles and H…

And the end thereof is known not even unto Our Ladv, J s nor to the Beast whereon She rideth, nor unto the Virgin her daughter, nor unto Chaos her lawful Lord; but unto the Crowned Child is it known ?

…M. M.) “The number nine is sacred, as the Oracles inform us, and attaineth the summits of philosophy.”—-ZOROASTER. INE times I kissed my lover in her sleep: The first time, to make sure that she was there ; The second, as a sleepy sort of prayer; The third, because I wished that she should weep; The fourth, to draw her kisses and to keep; The fifth, for love; the sixth, in sweet despair; The seventh, to destroy us unaware ; The eighth, to dive within the infernal deep. The last, to kill her—and myself as well! Ah! joy of sweet annihilation, The…
