Book 4 (Part I)

…derstanding of the phenomenon which occurred. Theorists have not been at a loss to explain; but they differ. The Mohammedan insists that God is, and did really send Gabriel with messages for Mohammed: but all others contradict him. And from the nature of the case proof is impossible. The lack of proof has been so severely felt by Christianity (and in a much less degree by Islam) that fresh miracles have been manufactured almost daily to support the tottering structure. Modern thought, rejecting these miracles, has adopted theories involving epi…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

172 THE EQUINOX Hail! on the altar of the awakening day ; Hail! in the temple of the night outworn By the vigils of the gods! Soft, secret Rose, I bear upon my breast the golden sign ; I wear thee on my breast, and I am thine— Light as the summer oak-leaves, gold as the god On the shimmering sea calling the winds to rest. Light, light be the earth upon thee, and below, Breath of the world unborn, long wave of song! Hail unto thee, and hail unto the star That bore thee! Hail! and hail! and hail! and hail Hail!

[The ceremony proceeds. When the candles should be given to the betrothed, MORTADELLO disdainfully waves it aside, and his page holds it for him, the handmaiden of MAGDALENA performing the same office. THE ARCHBISHOP.

The World’s Tragedy

…a- rupadarshana, or the sexual splendour of Epipsychidion, or the laughter of Catullus, all is pure and perfect. It is the vision of the God that is pure ; it is the veils that stain. Whether the curtain of falsehood be moral, or ethical, or romantic, it is a stain. Weakness is evil and impure ; strength is divine and clean. A mountain is more naked than a marsh. By your leave, gentles, I will continue to live on the mountain. SODOMY Further, lest ‘ broad-minded ’ prigs come to smash me by their aid, I shall fight openly for that which no livin…

Mortadello

…Thy Kingdom come ! But—dare I ask ?—not yet—I would earn martyrdom. O men, if I must speak to men who thought no more To speak except to God, by the Lord Christ who bore Our sins upon the cross, I pray you pardon me So weakling as I am, a thing of vanity. I am jealous of my crowns ; my virgin lilies mix With thorns of martyrdom upon my crucifix ! A CITIZEN. What can we answer ? ALESSANDRO. Naught. Be silent and adore ! [MONICA steps back from the window, her lips still moving as in prayer. THE GOVERNOR comes forward to the window. GOVERNOR. Wel…

Book 4 (Part II)

… But one hardly dare comment upon a theme which has been so fruit- fully treated by Ludovicus Carolus, that most holy illuminated man of God. His masterly treatment of the identity of the three reciprocating paths of Daleth, Teth, and Pe, is one of the most wonderful passages in all the Holy Qabalah. His resolution of what we take to be the bond of slavery into very love, the embroidered neckband of honour bestowed upon us by the King himself, is one of the most sublime passages in this class of literature. Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater, Had a wi…

…he Church in Thessalonica: "For the Lord shall descend from Heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God ; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them into the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we be for ever with the Lord." The stupid interpretation of this verse as prophetic of a " second advent " need not concern us ; every word of it is, however, worthy of profound consideration.
