…nk unfermented grape-juice — the vilest of all black magical concoctions, for it implies the denial of the divine beatitude, and affirms God to be a thing of wood. There were many other precautions also to be taken. The atmosphere of the charnel must be created about them; they
…assumes, Stars mount the sky, and looms The misty monarch of the dale on high : About the silver fect I worship, as is meet, The warrior God that fixed sky, Rent the cavernous earth, Moulded in awful birth The terror of the cloudy canopy, And tore from underground The lake’s immense profound, And clad the mountains now with this faint snow embroidery. the curved Now the white flakes decrease. Wastwater lies in peace, Kissed by the breezes where the wind once bit ; Gable alone doth stand, A Pyramid more grand Than Pharaoh’s pride exalted, or the…
…ith St. Paul? But? after ail that, it is open to any one to hâve any opinion that he likes upon the subject, or any other subject, thank God! At the same time, it is most necessary to study the business, whatever we may be going to do about it; for our ethics themselves will naturally dépend upon our theory of the universe. If we were quite certain, for example, that everybody went to heaven when he died, there could be no serious objection to murder or suicide, as it is generally conceded—by those who know neither — that earth is not such a pl…
…f. will find little support in this claim on behalf of death. We all die ; it was the Resurrection and Ascension which stamped Christ as God. Our Philosopher will, I think, fight shy of these events. The two thieves were “ nailed up like vermin ” on either side of Christ by precisely the same people ; are they also gods ? To found a religion on the fact of death, murder though it were, is hardly more than African fetichism. Does death prove more than life ? Will Mr. Chesterton never be happy until he is hanged ? These then are the rear-guard ac…
TWO SONNETS 113 I have dreamed life a circle or a line, Called God, and Fate, and Chance, and Man, divine. I know not all I say, but through it all Mark the dim hint of ultimate sunshine ! Remember me for this! And when I go To sleep the last sleep in the slumberous snow, Let child and man and woman yet re- call One little moment that I loved you so ! Let some high pinnacle my tombstone be, My epitaph the murmur of the sea, The clouds of heaven be fleeces for my pall, My unknown grave the cradle of the free. TWO SONNETS ON HEARING THE MUSIC OF …
…for sheer love of sin, whose mere lust of perversion is so intense that it seems to absorb every other emotion and interest. Never since God woke light from chaos has such a tragedy been un- rolled before men, step after step toward the lake of Fire ! At his house all his writings were seized, and, it is believed, destroyed. The single most fortunate exception is that of a superbly jewelled writing-case, now in the possession of the present editor, in which were found the MSS. which are here published.

ALICE: AN ADULTERY. ‘‘Commit not with man’s sworn spouse.” King Lear. \GAINST the fiat of that God discrowned, Unseated by Man’s justice, and replaced, By Law most bountiful and maiden-faced And mother-minded: passing the low bound Of man’s poor law we leapt at last and found Passion ; and passing the dim halls dis- graced Found higher love and larger and more chaste, Acalm sphinx waiting in secluded ground. Hear the sad rhyme ot how love turned to lust, And lust invigorated love, and love’ Shone bright…
…she said. The explosion came at lunch, the Spanish nurse having failed to muffle the baby with due adequacy. "Oh hell!" said Abdul Bey. "God knows, I don't want the little beast!" said its proud mother. "Look'e here!" remarked Cremers. "I do want it. Sure some baby!" "Oh hell!" repeated Abdul Bey. "Look'e here! You gimme the rocks, an' I'll take her across the pond. There's ships. Gimme three thousand bucks and expenses, and three thousand every year, and I'll fix it. You folks get off and paint Paree pink. Is it a go?" Abdul Bey brightened imm…
…her as (in Chinese philosophy) the Tao becomes manifested little by little through the Teh, or as (in the best of the Hindu systems) the god of Destruction and Annihilation, Shiva, be‐ comes manifested through the Infinite Energy, Sakti. The system begins therefore with Ain— Nothing, Ain Soph—Without Limit, and Ain Soph Aur—the Limitless Light. One may now proceed to imagine any point in this “light”, to select it for observation; the fact of doing so makes it Positive. This gives the number 1, which is called Kether, the Crown. The other numbe…

CARYATIDE SHALL beauty avail thee, Caryatid, crouched, crushed by the weight of a world of woe ? By birthright the burden is thine: on thy shoulders the sorrow hath slid From the hand of the Healer: behold, in the steady, continuous throe, Shall beauty avai…
…Nuit cries “To me!”, that is balanced by the Formula of Hadit: ‘“Come unto me’ is a foolish word; for it is I that go.” Now the Semen is God (the going-one, as shewn by the ankh or Sandal-strap, which He carries) because he goes in at the Door, stays there for a specified period, and comes out 1:62, 65 11:7

… lust of beasts for tentacles; caught thence Corollary, syllogism, she strides tense Into the inmost agony of things. So, fearless, amid gods and evil kings, She sits, poor wretch, eternal scientist, Straining mild muscles, leaving to its list The spasm-shaken body. So she flings The teeth-set fate of Fortune’s face un kissed Against the fiat : sets her clenchéd fist In his face: slides spinning with her body’s twist Into the inmost agony of things.

EVEN as beasts, where the sepulchral ocean Sobs, and their fins and feet keep Runic pace, Treading in water mysteries of motion, Witch-dances : where the ghastly carapace Of the blind sky hangs on the monstrous verge: Even as serpents, wallowing in the slime ; So my thoughts raise misshapen heads, and urge Horrible visions of decaying Time. For in the fi…

THE SEVENTH DAY. ‘This word ‘love,’ which greybeards call divine, Be resident in men like one another And not in me: I am myself alone.” 3 Henry VI, THEREFORE I burnt the wicked pantacle, And cast my love behind me once again. I mused upon the mystery of pain, Where the Gods ‘taught me by another spell Not chosen from the armoury of Hell, But given of Mercury to cleanse the stain Of the old…
