… ! I would not kiss thee, I ! Lest my lips charactery Ruin thy flower. Curve thou one maidenly Kiss, stooping from thy sky Of peace and power ! Thine only be the embrace ! I move not from my place, Feel the exultant face Mine for an hour !
…Lalage ! a ghoul that sucks at her own brains ! Where is the ship ? Where is the ship ? Where is my man, my man, my man ? Who gave thee power to rend and rip the hearty out from a courtezan ? I roved from town to town : I played the whore in every slimy stews. God ! I am like a moon-struck maid, easing her drought on sister dews.
… his instruments, and the équilibration of that fierce force which initiâtes the ceremony \ Yod is the créative energy — the procreative power ; and yet Yod is the solitude and silence of the hermitage into which the Magician has shut himself. Mem is the letter of Water, and it is the Mem final, whose long fiat lines suggest the Sea at peace ; not the ordinary (initial and médial) Mem whose hieroglyph is a wave 2 And then, in the Centre of ail, broods Spirit, which combines the mildness of the Lamb with the horns of the Ram, and is the letter…
…and caressed With evil words and kisses of the mouth of Sin. The Breath of men adoring. ‘ Worship we! ‘The mighty Wisdom, the astounding power, ‘‘ The Horror, the immense profundity, ‘The stealthy, secret passes of thy Bower! ‘Thee we adore and praise “Whose breast is broad as day’s; ‘‘ Thee, thee, the mistress of the barren sea, “‘ Deep, deadly, poisonous; “‘ Accept the life of us, ‘‘ Dwell in our midst; yea, show thy cruelty! ‘‘ Suck out the life and breath ‘‘ From breast that quickeneth. “ Such pain is death, “ Such terror, such delight—all,…

I loved you once Childlike; then came the power of reasoning, And | beheld you, the unselfish one, Befriending me, the angel of of my life. See what it rested on, my happiness ! Your sacrifice is utter selfishness ;
…ife, Love, from celestial water-springs ! From the shrill fountain-head of God I draw out water with the rod Made luminous with light of power. I seal each æon’s period, And wait the moment and the hour. Aloof, alone, unloved, I stand With love and worship in my hand. I commune with the Gods : I wait Their summons, and I fire the brand. I speak their Word : and there is Fate. I know no happiness, no pain, No swift emotion, no disdain, No pity : but the boundless light Of the Eternal Love, unslain, Flows through me to redeem the night. Mine is a…
…lame flung free. I am She, the beginning and end; I am all, and my name is the Sea! ORPHEUS Then thou, O my mother, Hast given to me The power of another, The watery key. Bright air is my brother, My sister the sea; I have called, and they answer and come; and their song is but glory to thee. One other is left me, The light of the earth. If Fate had bereft me, Oh Muse, of thy birth, Still I had cleft me A way in her girth! I tune the loud lyre once again to the mother of men in her mirth. O mighty and glad In spring-time and summer! O tearful a…
… bleached skeletons infest the way, Yet Hope her passion like a flower brings, And Courage ranks me with unconquerable kings. So, in the power of these who guard my path, I hope one day to earn a loftier crown Than that pale garland fresh from summer scath That I called Love, and lie delighted down Beside the fountains, fled the roaring town, 51
…come to my castle, I say ; there I will prepare all for you and your young bride : my chaplain shall marry you at midnight ; my name and power shall shield you from all mischance. SIR PERCY. I am my own master. ANGELA. You think so ? They have kept if from you, but you have a guardian : ask him if you may marry a mere country lass — and you now not yet seventeen.
…tudy most constantly, my Son, in the Art of the Holy Qabalah. Know that herein the Rela- tions between Numbers, though they be mighty in Power and prodigal of Knowledge, are but lesser Things. For the Work is to reduce all other conceptions to these of Number, because thus thou wilt lay bare the very Structure of thy Mind, whose rule is Necessity rather than Prejudice. Not until the Universe is thus laid naked before thee canst thou truly anatomize it. The Tendencies of thy Mind lie deeper far than any Thought, for they are the Conditions and t…
… which is to be worn, whether thou wilt have him for a Familiar, or not. (7.) Amon,—The Seventh Spirit is Amon. He is a Marquis great in power, and most stern. He appeareth like a Wolf with a Serpent’s tail, vomiting out of his mouth flames of fire; but at the command of the Magi- cian he putteth on the shape of a Man with Dog’s teeth beset in a head like a Raven; or else like a Man with a Raven’s head (simply). He telleth all things Past and to Come. He procureth feuds and reconcileth controversies between friends. He governeth 40 Legions of S…
…From this grim fight, whose horrid ranks are dim With mist of spuméd blood, whose long chill hour Beats out each second with the ghastly power, Reluctant till the morning. Shall they cease, These black battalions, and the dawn bring peace To a head holier ? Or shall he succumb, Fight through long agonies and perish dumb, Sword gripped hard to the last ? or shall he fall Recreant, coward, and no more at all Reach the dim martyr-hall of heroes ? Yet The surging shapes gape hideous, to beget 70
…on men And serpent women, worm and clod, Shall rise and look upon us then, And know us to be very God, Finding a saviour in the sight Of power attaining unto peace, And meditation’s virgin might Pregnant with twins—love and release. Are you not ready? Let us leave This little Paris to its fate! Our friends a little while may grieve, And then forget : but we, elate, Live in a larger air : awake, Compassion in the Halls of Truth! Disdain love for love’s very sake! Take all our beauty, strength, and youth, And melt them in the crucible To that qui…

…h with wonder our desire and mirth , All aims and pleasures of imperfect birth , The very pang of lust ; And love, that comes before all power and worth , Might scarcely shape such beauty out of dust Did you forsake the earth .

COMPLETION FOUR OF WANDS This card refers to Chesed in the suit of Fire. Being below the Abyss, it is the Lord of all manifested active Power. The original Will of the Two has been transmitted through the Three, and is now built up into a solid system:—Order, Law, Government. It is also referred to Venus in Aries, which indicates that one cannot establish one’s work without tact and gentle‐ ness. The wands are headed by the Ram, sacred to Chesed, the Father‐god Amoun‐Ra, as also to Aries; but at the other end of the wands are the Doves of Venus…

AHINOAM. Ye praise God of full heart: I would to God Your minds were somewhat fuller, and could keep Discretion seated on her ivory throne. What folly is it they will now be at, Gray beards, and goatish manners? Hearken them! CHORUS.

…He paused, sighing, then continued— “ To suffer woes which hope thinks infinite ; To forgive wrongs darker than death or night ; To defy power which seems omnipotent ; To love, and bear ; to hope till hope creates From its own wreck the thing it contemplates ; Neither to change, nor falter, nor repent : This, like thy glory, Titan, is to be Good, great, and joyous, beautiful, and free : This is alone Life, Joy, Empire, and Victory.” The last phrase pealed trumpet-wise : he sank back into thought. “ Yes,” he said slowly, “ neither to change, nor…
