Confessions of Aleister Crowley

…fe has numerous points of contact with Alice in Wonderland, and I now come to the incident, "The Elephants did tease so!" I went out one night to a bhul, or salt lick, in a tree overlooking which a machan had been built for me. A particularly fine tiger was reputed to visit the place every night. I took up my vigil immediately after dinner. A three-quarter moon was due to rise about half-past eight. We kept extremely quiet, of course. I dislike shooting from a machan, exactly as I dislike coarse fishing. One cannot do anything to help things al…

To vary the monotony of his vigil he wandered a little distance away from the row of dead seals. When sitting under the shelter of a rock he beheld coming from the sea a woman of surpassing beauty, with her rich yellow tresses falling over her shoulders. She was dressed in an emerald robe, and, proceeding to the spot where the dead seals lay, she identified each as she went along soliloquising as follow…

Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

ESME WINGFIELD -STRATFORD . FIRST LIGHT. A HARBOUR light in a storm , m A well in a waste of sand , A beacon light on a hopeless night , A friend in an alien land . A twilight flush in the East, A star in a clouded sky , A loyal blade for a cause betrayed , A breath from an age gone by . Sweet in a loveless world , Pure in a tainted air, Oh, who could see and not worship thee ? Lose thee and not despair ? 212

Gargoyles

TARSHITERING. NEPALI LOVE-SONG. O KISSABLE Tarshitering! the wild bird calls its mate—and I? Come to my tent this night of May, and cuddle close and crown me king! Drink, drink our fill of love at last—a little while and we shall die, O kissable Tarshitering! Droop the long lashes: close the eyes with eyelids like a beetle’s wing! Light the slow smile, ephemeral as ever a painted butterfly, Certain to close into a kiss, certain to fasten on me and sting! 20

The World’s Tragedy

THE GREY NIGHT. I35 PUBLIUS How very surprising, For the sun shews devil a sign of rising ! AGRIPPA The guard should have come an hour ago To relieve us. IST SOLDIER By Zeus ! ’twas a foul throw ! 2ND SOLDIER Throw again ! 3RD SOLDIER It’s Venus ! The coat is mine. Silky-soft and rainbow-fine ! Would the world were never duller Than this cool cascade of colour ! AGRIPPA Something serious is occurring. All the town is lighted, stirring. We had best bring reinforcement.

He had a nightmare: he saw, terribly real, the giant with the fleshless ox’s head of which the workman had spoken to him. The monster pursued him, and struggled with him. When he woke up, it was already day, and some- body was knocking at his door. Eliphas rose, threw on a dressing-gown, and opened ; it was the workman. “Master,” said he, entering hastily, and with an alarmed air; “how are you?” “Very well,” replied El…

Surely he is asleep after such a night with the camel, I objected, for it was now morning, the expert melting-pot of the hot-arsed hogoninny having kept my metal at the point all night without ever giving it a chance to run over. Not he ! She sneered. He is now with his Venerable Aunt, as he calls her, a lascivious old woman if ever there was one ! A very gobble- prick ! A brimstone bunter ! But come ! You shall see them.

Then she beholding me with Amazement cried upon me hus: Art thou not glad in Heart, o my Master? At this I gave a Sigh even as one night unto Death. And She: if this be so, then is no need anymore for me to give myself to Magick. Thereat, perceiving yet again the Just Universal of Our Lord Pan, was I swallowed up (like unto Jonah of the Old Fable) in the Belly of the Whale called Laughter, …

Songs of the Spirit

A SPRING SNOWSTORM IN WASTDALE. ON rocky mountain bare Of grass, and meadows fair, Angels their trumpets blow upon the night, While o’er the shrinking dale The insatiable gale Roars with unconquered and impassive might. Their robes of snow they rend, And their deep voices blend With tempest, like that angry Amphitrite, His hair blown wild and loose On windy Syracuse, Lashing the waves with words of wrath, a terror of bright light. Here the thick snowflakes fall, Till mountain in their pall, 55

…nd reason . Those five paths lead us to one road , the road of “ Knowledge and Doubt " ; beyond which to the inept there is impenetrable night , and to the adept undying brilliancy . “ Know or Doubt ! is the alternative of highwayman Huxley ; ' Believe'is not to be admitted ; this is a fundamental ; in this agnosticism can never change ; this must ever command our moral , as our intellectual assent. Thus Reason ends by whispering : “ I am agnostic ; I cannot answer ea or nay .” This is the crowning triumph of the nineteenth century ! Kant has p…

Angel of absolute splendour ! link of mine Old weary spirit with the All-Divine ! Ship that shalt carry me by many winds …
