But thou art strong and we are weak indeed, Nor can we bear the burden, nor sustain The fury of the Children of the East That ride against us, and bright victory Is thronéd in their banners, and on ours Perches the hideous nightbird of defeat.

The dripping rain Soddens the earth, and the stones lie thick and wet Among the leaves ; and the trees wave naked arms In despair to the sky. The light is quickly dying, And there is no more day ; the dull red sun, A sore and aching eye in a face of gray, Droops down to slumber. All the world seems dead. Rose! Rose! Where art thou? Omy Rose! my Rose! My secret Rose! Art lost among the gray? There is no voice in the silence; in the woods The…

But this have I already declared to thee in Part, showing that thou canst do no Magick save it be thy Nature to do Magick and so the true Nothing for thee. For to do nothing signifieth to interfere with nothing so that for a Magician to do no Magick is to commit Violence on himself. Yet learn also that all Action is in some sense …
