This our modern-day philosophers invariably seem to forget, and as long as they do so we cannot help further feeling that their grand generalisation must be as unbalanced as the minds of those asylum patients from which they are so fond of deducing them. “Know Thyself” comes before “Instruct Others.” Let this be well remembered by all such as would teach without learning and would lead others without seeing.

Everybody has to go through your stage — and unless I'm mistaken, you are about to go through it in a particularly acute form."

So he decided to diminish the amount of himself by removing his clothes, and onl…

…Oath of the Abyss; yea, let him swear the Oath of the Abyss. I. A brother known to me was repeatedly baffled in this méditation. But one day being thrown with his horse over a sheer cliff of forty feet, and escaping without a scratch or a bruise, he was reminded of his many narrow escapes from death. These proved to be the last factors in his problem, which, thus completed, solved itself in a moment. (O. M. Chinese Frontier 1905-6.) 422 —

…bold Son of their secrets, and like springes close On his choked throat and frozen body— Nay | That death were twilight, and the gate of Day ! No death ye bring as his, that grips the flag In desperate fingers, and with bloody sword Flames up the thundering breach, while bastioned crag, , Glacis, and pent-house belch their mon- strous horde Of hideous engines shattering—this strife Clears the straight road of Glory and of Life ! Nay: but the hateful death that stings the soul Into rebellion ; the insensate death That chokes its own delight with…

When God uplifted hands to smite, And earth from chaos was unrolled; When skies and seas from blackest night Unfurled, twin sapphires set with gold ; When tumult of the boisterous deep Roared from its slow ungainly sleep, And flocks of heaven were driven to fold; Then rose the walls of Israel steep, For in Flis promise we behold The…

Furthermore, and this is the crucial point, they thought that by performing this [108] experiment in a specially prepared place, a place protected magically against all incompatible forces, and by invoking into that place some one force which they desired, some tremendously powerful being, angel or archangel — and they had conjurations which they thought capable of doing this — that they would be able to …

… the end. VESPERS. THE incense steams before the Christ ; It wraps His feet with grey, A perfumed melancholy mist, Tears sacred from the day ; An awe, a holiness, I wist, More sweet than man may say. I bend my head to kiss the brow, Scarred and serene and wide, The bosom and the loin-cloth now And where the blood has dried, The blood whose purple tide doth flow From out the smitten side. The fragrance of his skin begets Desire of holy things ; Through the dim air a spirit frets His closcly woven wings; Like love, upon my brow he sets The crowns…

Quit the Night, and seek the day.” Then only at the words: “Let the Candidate rise” is the hoodwink definitely removed. The Hierophant, Hiereus, and Hegemon join their sceptres and sword above the Candidate’s head, thus formulating the Supernal Triad, and assert that they, receive him into the Order of the Golden Dawn, in the words : “Frater X Y Z, we receive thee into the Order of the Golden Dawn !” They then recite the mystic words, “ K…

IN A CORNFIELD 103 IN A CORNFIELD. O voice of sightless magic Clear through day’s crystal sky, Blithe, contemplative, tragic, As men may laugh or sigh ; As men may love or sorrow, Their moods thy music borrow To bid them live or die. So sweet, so sad, so lonely, In silent noontide only Thy song-wings float and lie On cloud-foam scarred and riven, By God’s red lightnings shriven, And quiet hours are given To him that lingers nigh. Fain would I linger near thee Amid the poppies red, Forget this world, and hear thee As one among the dead ; Amid th…
