…ety thou stinkest yet of his sweat ; go wash thyself before thou comest wooing to El Qahar. Nay, darling ! come now, and as thou art ; I love thee, wert thou the bedfellow of every hog in Iran. 1. Husein — possibly represents the mystic Teacher or Guru of the poet. The Nubian is per- haps Satan or the “ Evil Genius.” Abdal means Saints or Hermits, but also a class of beings spo-
…obvious, and not to be wrested or distorted. What does it matter if we call it as at present, or (a) The Hand of Creation, (6) The First Lovers, (c) The Security of Love, (d) The Invisible Guard —anything in reason? These are only ways of looking at one idea, and as you are theologian, poet, lover or mystic, so you will choose. And it is the Master’s merit, not his fault, if his conception is so broad-based as to admit of different interpretations. The p&nomenon is possible because Rodin is the master and not the slave of his colossal technique…
…irled Away in the wind of its own folly, thrown Into forgotten places and unknown. So I sing on ! Sister and wife, dear wife Light of my love and lady of my life, Answer if thou canst from the unsullied place, Unveiling for one star-wink thy bright face ! Did we leave then, once cognisant, Time for some Fear to implant His poison ? Did we hesitate ? Leave but one little chance to Fate ? For one swift second did we wait ? There is no need to answer : God is God, A jealous God and evil ; with His rod He smiteth fair and foul, and with His sword D…
…How shall I behold Thee, who art hidden in the darkness? Lo! I bend mine eyes before Thee, and no sign dost Thou vouchsafe me; I whisper love-words before Thee, and I know not if Thou hear me, Thou who art the darling of the Night and of the Silence; Yellow art Thou as the sunlight through the corn-fields, Bright as the sun-dawn on the snow-clad mountains, Slow as the voice of the great green gliding River. Calmly in Thy silence am I come to rest me, Now from the world the light hath slowly faded ; I have left the groves of Pan that I might gaz…

She threw her arm round his neck, and her mouth shuddered on his in a long, deliberate, skilful kiss. “ Art?" sighed he, fallen back half fainting in his seat. “Art concealed;” she glowed, radiant, intoxicated with her own enthusiasm. “ Yes,” he agreed, " consummate art ! ᾽᾽ [18

THE EQUINOX Faith is not the stupid credulity of an awestruck ignorance. Faith is the consciousness and the confidence of love. Faith is the cry of reason, which persists in denying the absurd, even in the presence of the unknown. Faith is a sentiment necessary to the soul, just as breathing is to life; it is the dignity of courage, and the reality of enthusiasm. Faith does not consist of the affirmation of this symbol or that, but of a genuine and constant aspiration towards the truths which are veiled by all symbolisms. Ifa man rejects an unw…

… to enhance her attractiveness. She is kindly and generous, but impatient of opposition. She has immense capacity for friendship and for love, but always on her own initiative. There is as much pride in this card as in the Knight, but it lacks the spontaneous nobil‐ ity which excuses that error. It is not true pride, but self‐complacent vanity and even snob‐ bery. The other side of her character is that she may have a tendency to brood, come to a wrong decision thereon, and react with great savagery. She may be easily deceived; then she is
…speakable. Let not this deceive thee, for its Existence proveth its Imperfection, and thou must call forth its Mate, and destroy them by Love, as with the former. This Method is continuous and proceedeth ever from the Gross to the Fine, and from the Particular to the General, dissolving all Things into the One Substance of Light. t
…Ye are past: I'face the solemn powers Of sex and soul, of brain and breath. For you I lift the veil: discover The actual, for I was your lover. What should such word imply? I showed Late, in the earlier dithyramb. But—in yon stone there lurks a toad !— The Quarter bleats no palinode ; Goat it may be, no woolly lamb. Arithmetic assuage your wrath Should Cambridge wit write quarter ‘‘ fourth” ! What said the unctuous slime of art, Scrapings of beauty’s palette, pimps Of serious studios, stews or mart . Of filth, not vice? Those painter shrimps! W…

And cut em all out ? MRS. OSSORY. [Glares at Nurse in silence, not trusting herself to speak to her.] Now, grandpa, dont be silly ! You know how we all love you ! [She goes to the chair and shakes it, unseen.] Thomas, there you are again ! How can you be so thoughtless ? GRANDFATHER. Oh ! Oh ! Oh ! [They get him out of the room. MRS. OSSORY [returning]. Good-…
…r than those. In order to dominate sheep, the dog plays upon their fear of wolves. If you are a dog, and you want a pretty little cat to love you, you have only one means to take: to metamorphose yourself into a cat. But how? By observation, imitation and imagination. We think that our figurative language will be understood for once, and we recommend this revelation to all who wish to magnetize : it is the deepest of all the secrets of their art. Here is the formula in technical terms: “To polarize one’s own animal light, in equilibrated antago…

…. Most prominent among its features is the seven‐pointed Star of Venus, as if declaring the principal characteristic of her nature to be Love. (See again the description in Chapter I of the Book of the Law). From the golden cup she pours this ethereal water, which is also milk and oil and blood, upon her own head, indicating the eternal renewal of the categories, the inexhaustible possibilities of existence.
… philoso‐ phy she is Karma. Her attributions develop this thesis. Venus rules the sign of the Balance; and that is to show the formula: “Love is the law, love under will”. But Saturn represents above all the ele‐ ment of Time, without which adjustment cannot take place, for all action and re action take place in time, and therefore, time being itself merely a condition of phenomena, all phenom‐ ena are invalid because uncompensated.
…h Despair, Got on her by the piercing shaft of Time. Oh! Unborn child of Fate and Time, I am weary Of them that gave thee birth. Shall I love thee? O darling! Wilt thou come to me in the silence, Saying: “I bear the mystery of Time, And the secret of Fate?” I know not yet, but surely Thou shalt know of the Rose, the Rose, the Rose o’ the World! With thee shall I bear the chalice of blood-tipped lilies, The chalice of red, sweet lilies under the moon? But now there is no moon, nor any sun ; Only the world’s gray noon is for thee and me; There is…

…pe, thy brain with art, Thy lips with song, thine arm with strength to smite : Achieve some act ; its name shall not depart. Christ laid Loves corner-stone, and Cæsar built The tower of glory ; Sapphos life was spilt From fervent lips the torch of song to ignite : Thou mayst add yet a stoneif but thou wilt. And yet the days stream by ; night shakes the day From his pale throne of purple, to allay The tremors of the earth ; day smiteth dark With the swift poignard dipped in Helios ray. The days stream by ; with lips and cheeks grown pale On t…
