Jephthah and Other Mysteries

…he sea, He strides through the heaven, a knight brightly mailéd ; The earth is rejoiced and the fountains are free, Leaping, cascades of new song. Music and myrtle are bound in the forehead Golden of dawn’s herald strong ; The sea basks below in the atmosphere torrid, Waiting and waiting a lover. All men despise her: a woman once found Joy in the kisses whereby she was drowned, Love in her death to discover. I, in the pzan of earth, air, and ocean, Join and laugh loud for the love of my heart; Throbs the loud air with my throes of emotion ; Lov…

Men shall sing merrily at work as those Who fear no more to die— Ay! and who fear no more at last to live Since man can love and worship and forgive. Then on these heights of Caucasus A fire shall dwell, Pure as the dawn, and odorous Of bud and bell; A flower of fire, a flame from Heaven to us. All triumph to foretell, A glory of unspeakable delight, A flower.like li…

…d sea. Not all the wealth that flowers shed, And sacred streams, on that calm head; Not all the earth’s spell-weaving dream And scent of new-turned earth shall seem Again indeed his mother’s breast To breathe like sleep and give him rest ; He lives or dies in subtler swoon Between the sea and moon. So standing, gliding, undeterred By any her alluring word That calls from older forest glades, My soul forgets the gentle maids That wooed me in the scarlet bowers, And golden cluster-woof of flowers; Forgets itself, content to be Between the moon an…

Thence, by great Will new-freed, the ardent life leaps, sixth, to Effort’s tower, invoking the occult, the secret power, found in the void when all but Will is lost ; so, seventh, he bends it from its bodily station into the great abyss of Meditation, whence the firm level is at last his own and Rapture’s royal throne is more than throne, sarcophagus ! an end ! an end !

… may hâve heard “in the seventh heaven”. This may not apply to the sixth. The Adept must keep himself in hand, however tempted to make a new heaven and a new earth in the next few davs by trumpeting his triumphs. He must give time a chance to redress his balance, sore shaken by the impact of the Infinité. As he becomes adjusted to intercourse with his Angel, he will find his passionate ecstasy develop a quality of peace and intelligi- bility which adds power, while it informs and fortifies his mental and moral qualifies instead of obscuring and…

The Law is for All

…external imperfection of marrons glacés; they no longer represent its infinitely varied nature. It therefore rejects them, and creates a new form of itself, such as Nightgowns with pale yellow ribbons or Amber Cigarettes. In the same way a poet or painter, wishing to express Beauty, is impelled to choose a particular form; with luck, this is at first able to recompose in him what he feels; but sooner or later he finds that he has failed to include certain elements of himself, and he must needs embody these in a new poem or picture. He may know …

Jephthah and Other Mysteries

JEPHTHAH. 39 That shall see freedom smile on us, and peace, And victory, and new hours of happiness, CHORUS OF SOLDIERS. Out of the waters of the sea Our father Abraham beheld The lamp of heaven arise and be The monarch quenchless and unquelled ; But we on this far Syrian shore See dawn upon the mountains pour. The limit of the snows is bright ; As spears that glitter shine the hills ; The foaming forehead of the light All air with cloudy fragrance fills ; And, born of desolation blind, The young sweet summer burns behind. The Altar of the Lord…

… . | ROSE from dreamless hours and sought the morn 1 That beat upon my window : from the sill I watched sweet lands , where Autumn light new - born Swayed through the trees and lingered on the hill . If things so lovely are , why labour still To dream of something more than this I see ? Do I remember tales of Galilee , I who have slain my faith , and freed my will ? Let me forget dead faith , dead mystery , Dead thoughts of things I cannot comprehend . Enough the light mysterious in the tree , Enough the friendship of my chosen friend . 78
