…k them ! One and all conceived and bare sons and called their names Jesus, for they supposed that no man had been near them. Lost in the love trance, they had not suspected the insidious spermatozoa dropped as it were a ball upon the aphrodisiacal tennis courts of their Eden Gardens. How I impregnated Leila herself, and the larks we had during her pregnancy, and the fun I had at her delivery how different from the Monthly Drink, which I will also touch upon ! I will tell you when I have relieved my necessities I am an old man of eighty no…

… more than harvest gold. Fierier than the portent of a double Venus, her green eyes shot forth utmost flames. From the golden chalice of love arose a perfume terrible and beau- tiful, a perfume strong and deadly to overcome the subtler fragrance of her whole being with its dominant, unshamed appeal. She lay with arms outstretched, as if awaiting the visita- tion of some god. Some ghastly god, for sure? For where she lay, the gilded lily with geranium lips, was, as it were, a flower of night. It was a small square room, black from edge to edge. …

… assumes the lunar light, And hetheir eremite ! In their calm intercourse and kiss Even hell itself no longer is ; For nothing in their love abides That passes not beneath their tides, And who so bathes in light of theirs, And water, changes unawares To be no separate soul, but be Himself the moon and sea. Not all the wealth that flowers shed, And sacred streams on that calm head ; Not all the earths spell-weaving dream And scent of new-turned earth shall seem Again indeed his mothers breast To breathe like sleep and give him rest ; He lives…

…to overflowing from a single lotus, arising from the dark calm sea characteristic of Binah. There is here the fulifilment of the Will of Love in abounding joy. It is the spiritual basis of fertility. The card is referred to the influence of Mercury in Cancer; this carries further the above thesis. Mercury is the Will or Word of the All‐Father; here its influence descends upon the most receptive of the Signs. At the same time, the combination of these forms of energy brings in the possibility of somewhat mysterious ideas. Binah, the Great Sea, i…

…HTHAH 83 CHORUS. Fair as the dawn is the maiden wise ; Pale as the poppies by still white water ! Sunlight burns in her pure deep eyes ; Love lights the tresses of Jephthah’s daughter. Kissing rays of the moon have caught her, Rays of the moon that sleeps and sighs, JARED [aszde]. In our disgrace, behold! our vengeance strikes. I am inspired with so profound a hate— He shall not triumph: in the very hour When his o’ermastering forehead tops the sky I strike him to the earth. I need not move. Silence—no more—and all accomplishes. Leviathan, how …

… the Christian God. So to the agony dirges of despair Man cleft the womb, and shook the icy air With bitter cries for light and life and love. But these, begotten of the world above, Withdrew their glory, and the iron world Rolled on its cruel way, and passion furled Its pure wings, and abased itself, and bore Fetters impure, and stooped, and was no more. But resurrection’s ghastly power grew strong, And Lust was born, adulterous with Wrong, The Child of Lies; so man was blinded still, Garnered the harvest of abortive ill, For wheat reaped this…

They cast her forth on Naboths field Still living, in her harlots dress ; Her belly stript, her thighs concealed, For shames sake and for loves no less. Night falls ; the gaping crowds abide No longer by her stiffening side. I crept like sleep toward the place That held for me her evil head ; I bent like sin above her face That dying she mig…

I tuned the stars, I bound the bitter shore Beyond the Pleiads : until the Universe Moved at my mantra : Heaven and Hell obeyed ; Creation at my orders stayed or swayed. “ Take back,” I cried, “ the mockery of a curse ! ”

Torrents of ravening blood poured from the desolate steeps, Tumultuous fever of flood from the mountain that sweeps I would drain for this inaccessible thing made mine The ineffable bliss, the song of the spring, to be thine !

It is no figure of boy’s speech, Lover’s enthusiasm, rhyme Magniloquent of bard, to reach Truth through the husk of space and time: No truth is more devout than this: ‘€In you I live: I live in you.” Had Latmos not known Artemis, Where were the faint lights of that dew Of Keats?
