28 With sodomy, too, no children come, to cloud one’s love with cares rivals to my wife. Nothing can intervene between my boy and me but the slow foot of change, for sodomites are mortal ; but that im- mortal longing in them which is À±¹´µÁÇÃĵ¯Ç—That twins them with the Lord of Resurrection ; and even as I plunge my member in the sarcophagus, the flesh-eater, the podex of my lover, and with- draw it, its strength renewed as the eagle’s, so do I know that when the Eater of all flesh devours me altogether, I shall arise in my strength, through t…

…thin Him, and He may perhaps even imagine that He can make one which shall be free from the Three Characteristics. Evelyn Hall —an early love of mine—used to say: “God Almighty—or words to that effect—has no conscience”; and in the tre- mendous state of mind in which He is, a state of Cosmic priapism, He may very likely see red, care nothing for what may result to Himself or His victim, and, violently project- ing Himself on the Akasa, may fertilize it, and the Universe begin once more. In Liber I. it seems as if this must be done, as if it wer…

…se name is one, whose spirit is one, whose individuum is one, and whose permutation is one; whose light is one, whose life is one, whose love is one. For though thou art joined to the inmost mystery of the heaven, thou must accomplish the sevenfold task of the earth, even as thou sawest the Angels from the greatest unto the least. And of all this shalt thou take back with thee but a little part, for the sense shall be darkened, and the shrine re-veiled. Yet know this for thy reproof, and for the stirring up of dis- content in them whose swords …

…A man whocould conceive as he did must himself have had some glorious chord in his heart vibrating to the eternal principle of Boundless Love, That this love was wrecked is for me, in some sort a relative of his, a real and bitter sorrow.

The will, we all know, is ever readier than the mind, and so, though we aspire to renounce the pleasures of sense, to love and pity all that lives, yet perhaps we often fail in the accomplishment of our aspiration. But if the desire to become pitiful and pure be but honest and earnest, we have gained the Second Step upon the Path-—Sammasankappo, Right Aspiration. He whose motives are pure has no need VOL.

King Lamus was always saying that as long as one has any emotion about any thing, love or fear or any- thing else, one can’t observe things correctly. That’s why a doctor won't attend his own family, and I can see coldly and clearly like a drowning man that when- ever the idea of H. comes into my mind, I begin to think hysterically and come to the most idiotic con- clusions; and heroin has twined itself about my life so closely that everything is connected with it one way or another.

…ils” men tioned previously in this comment that obstruct the relation between Nuit and Hadit. We are not to worship the Khu, to fall in love with our Magi cal Image. To do this—we have all done it—is to forget our Truth. If we adore Form, it becomes opaque to Being, and may soon prove false to itself. The Khu in each of us includes the Cos mos as he knows it. To me, even another Khabs is only part of my Khu. Our own Khabs is our one sole Truth. 10. Let my servants be few & secret: they shall rule the many & the known. Commentary: The nature …

When I say "to Love", I doubt whether the verb meant anything more than "to find myself through". But in Jephthah, weak as the play is, I was really taking an interest in other people. The characters are not wholly corrupted by self- portraiture, I suck to the Hebrew legend accurately enough, merely introducing a certain amount of Cabbalistic knowledge.

He looks through one just as if one had no clothes on in the Garden of God, and he had made one, and one could do nothing except in the mirror of his mind. He never laughs or frowns or smiles; because, whatever he sees, he sees what is beyond as well, and so nothing ever happens. His mouth is redder than any roses you ever saw.
