Why Jesus Wept

…was lonely ! How I was mad ! Say, are you glad, Glad of me, happy here, Here in my arms ? I kiss you, I kiss you ! Say, is it bliss, you Spirit of holiness ? Holy I hold you ! Swift as a rapier Stabbed me your charms, Broken with lowliness, Smitten with rapture : — All is so mixed ;

Household Gods

…of pearl! Now—she's withdrawn At dusk to the wild woods, Mystic beatitudes That dure till dawn. Let life exclaim Against these things of spirit, Mankind that disinherit Of love's pure fiame! [He bends before the altar and begins to weep. Ye household gods! By these male tears I swear That ye shall grant this prayer. All things at odds Shalt be put straight— Harmonized, reconciled By some appointed child Of some far Fate! [4 curtain has been drawn aside during this invocation, and Axscia advances.

The Mother’s Tragedy

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX then, the goal; beyond which lie, bathed in the sunlight of the Spirit, glories untold, unseen by any save the eye of Soul. These gates are described in the third treatise. The words “spirit” and “soul” are highly ambiguous, and had better be regarded as poetic figures, without a technical meaning being sought. 60. There is but one road to the Path: at its very end alone the voice of Silence can be heard. The ladder by which the candidate ascends is formed of rungs of suffering and pain: these can be silenced only by the voice of vi…

Tannhäuser

Keen on my spirit ; as if all I sought In Thine own symbol, Beauty, were concealed Under her brows —how wider than the air ! How deeper than the sea I How radiant Beyond the fire ! Venus. O shun her devilish lures ! That Beauty is the sole detested fear That can annul our conquests, and arouse Our rapt dream-kisses. Tannhauser. That is my intent. It is the spiritual life of things I seek —Thou knowest ! Venus. Oh, I did not mean ! Remember my dilemma! Hear me speak The story of her. She is a wicked witch That seeketh to delude thy sleepy sense …

So still lingers sun upon sea ; Still twilight draws down to the world ; The light of my spirit is she ; The soul of her love is in me ; Lithe kisses with music are curled. Like light on the meadows we dwell ; Like twilight clings heart unto heart ; Like midnight the depth of the spell Our love weaves, and stronger than hell The guards of our palace of art. We are one as the dew that is drawn By the sun from the sea : we are curled In curves of delight and of dawn, On the lone, the immaculate lawn…

Now on the 71st day arose there a great dispute about his body ; for the angels and spirits and demons did contend about it, that they might possess it. But our elde st brother V. N. bade all be still ; and thus he apportioned the sacred relics of our Father. To the Angel Agbagal, the fore part of the skull ; To the demon Ozoz, the back left part of the skull ; To the demon Olcot,1 the back right part of the skull ; To ten thousand myriads of spirits of fire, each one hair ; To ten thousand m…

… one with life In harmony which could not cease . So instant did contentment seem I could not think it all a dream . But ah , the joy my spirit won Fled as the golden vision passed . The children of my dream are gone : A thousand ages hold them fast. The continent that used to be Is hidden in the purple sea . * BIRTH . CHE who gives birth in woe Forgets her pain at morn , Joyful to know A man is born . And all her senses sing That from her blood and bone New life should spring, New , yet her own.
