…e event will establish the kingdom of the Crowned and Conquering Child over the whole earth, and ail men shall bow to the Law, which is “love under Will”. This is an extreme case; but there is one law only to govern the small as the great. The same laws describe and measure the motions of the ant and the stars. Their light is no swifter than that of a spark. In every operation of Magick the link must be properly made. The first requisite is the acquisition of adéquate force of the kind required for the purpose. We must hâve electricity of a cer…

I was a child long years ago, it seems, Or months it may be—I am still a child ! They pictured me the stars as wheeling wild In a huge bow] of water; but my dreams Built it of Titan oak, its sides were piled Of fearful wood Hewn from God’s forests, paid with sweat and tears and blood. 1 Brothel.

… man could be so disgustingly callous on such a mat ter. Even vulgar people fear to appear physically repulsive to the person whom they love. It seems as if the fact of Marriage destroys every natural characteristic, and has a set of rules of its own diametrically opposed in spirit and letter to those which govern Love. I confidently appeal to impartial observ ers to say whether the ideals of the Book are not cleaner, more wholesome, more human, and more truly moral than those of Marriage as it is. 52. If this be not aright; if ye confound th…

… Fatihah3 Did I recite — my member did not swell. Once for a night I slept with my Habib — A thousand times that member rose and fell !4 Love and not worship is the key of life ; Silence, not prayer, the universal spell. For while I knelt, how could I clasp Habib ?5 And while I prayed, how kiss ? Adorable And perfect boy, thy podex serves alike My member both to challenge and to quell ! So say the Sufis ; Allah wakes desire For Him, and grants it, Life is like a shell That rouses echoes of some distant sea To Zahid-lubbers all innavigable ;

These empty arms that grope, that strain, that clutch Mere air, grow limp..... The wind is like a scythe That cuts its swathe through my green field, Even as I groan and writhe In the agony that pierces to the marrow. The wind ! the wind ! an arrow That hath smitten me through the shield — I float in mine own virgin tide Let loose — ah ! who are these that h…

… not so seriously wrong; for it has its roots in the original sex-conflict which we see in animals, and has often the effect of exciting Love in his highest and noblest shape. Some of the most passionate and permanent attachments have begun with rape. Rome was actually founded thereon. Similarly, murder of a faithless partner is ethically excusable, in a certain sense; for there may be some stars whose Nature is extreme violence. The colli sion of galaxies is a magnificent spectacle, after all. But there is nothing inspiring in a visit to one’…

Her feet that flit upon the windy way Twin fawns, the daughters of the rosy day. Behold, the arms of her desire Wave, weave, and wander in the air, Vines life-endued by subtle fire So quick and comely, curving bare ; The white diaphanous attire Floats like a spirit pale and fair ; The dance is woven of the breeze, the tune Is like the ocean silvered by the moon. Behold the maidens following, And every o…

… I move Deathlike for dearth and for despair of soul ; At last I drop. From Heaven there comes a Dove Bearing the semblance of the Man I love, And fountains and fresh grass by magic spell Are suddenly around me. And above I hear the voice my visions know so well : “ Well striven all this day against the power of Hell ! ” I know these mercies still diviner grow Each day I strive, but should I sit and rest One hour of dawn, and cry, “ I will not go Another step without more sleep,” that blest Dove flies away, the fountains are repressed, The gras…

O thy strong sons ! they are dark as night, Cruel and barren and false as the sea, They have cherished Hell for the love of thee, Filled with thy lust and abundant might, Filled with the phantom desire to free Body and soul from the sound and sight Of a world and a God that doth not right.

One kiss, like moonlight cold Lighting with floral gold The lakes low tune : One kiss, one flower to fold, On its own calyx rolled, At night, in June ! One kiss, like dewfall, drawn A veil oer leaf and lawn Mix night, and noon, and dawn, Dew, flower, and moon ! One kiss, intense, supreme !

Then you shall love me as a virgin would ; Shudder a little with a little fear, But yield thy podex to my lotus-wand, Giving some smile twin sister to a tear, Just as the body shudders3 when the soul Gives up to Allah, in its hot career, Identity ; impales its sunless self On to the splendour of that sunbright spear, And laughs and weeps, not knowing what it does, Entering the glowing rapture of the sphere Where He is manife…

Give praise unto the Lord, all ye that love the Lord; rejoice in Him, ye sons and daughters of enlightenment. Behold, the Lord is exalted in righteousness; His upright- ness filleth the earth with praise. For the Lord filleth my mouth with silence; and the blessing of the Lord is my satisfaction. With secret song do I magnify the Lord; and His utterance is Light. 62

…’s sheer simplicity takes form. There is a definite psychological phenomenon which accompanies any important discovery. It is like First Love, at First Sight, to the one; like the recognition of a Law of Nature, to the other. It inflames one with Love for the Uni verse, and it explains all its puzzles, in a flash; and it gives an interior conviction which nothing can shake, a living cer tainty quite beyond one’s argued acquiescence in any newly acquired facts. I lacked this; I knew that I had to seek further. The Truth uttered by Aiwaz is hid…

…dle: these shadowy retreats are the meeting-places of lifes cripples. It is above all to these places that the poet and the philosopher love to direct their eager guesses, which find there an assured pasture. For is there is a place which they disdain to visit, as I insinuated in the last story, it is above all the gaiety of the rich. That turbu- lence of emptiness has nothing to attract them. On the contrary, they feel themselves irresistibly drawn towards all that is weak, ru- ined, saddened, orphaned. An experienced eye never deceives itsel…
