THE EQUINOX Well do I know my magic shall not avail To unveil thee. Too well I know I may not hope to impale thee On the spear of my song; my song Is thine, and thou dost not remain for long: Thou tarriest not at all, Thou guardest all men’s bale Within the web of the Mystery called Time. And so no rime Of beauty or of truth shall serve Thee, until thou shalt swerve And fall. Who shall undo the wrong? What hand shall set thee free? And who shall lend his light that it may bring An end to the light I sing? My song, my song Is blasphemy to thee, …

194 THE EQUINOX Art thou not burnt in the fire of my will ? See, by the flashes that crimson and kill I am the master ; the magic is still. VI See! how the wrath of my rune that I send her, Fire of my fire, is flung flying to end her, Wrapping in ruin that scintillant splendour. Fire of my fire! how the brilliance darts forth, Runs to the uttermost pole of the North, Splashing all space with the spume of my wrath! Ah! but the subtle, the perilous way; That hath no fire to enkindle the clay. Ever to all be the word of me Nay! I who am Being and …

MARSYAS. THE EQUINOX Master of my fate, to rise To imperial destinies; With the sun’s ensanguine dart Spear-bright in my blazing heart, And my being’s basil-plant Bright and hard as adamant! Yonder, faintly luminous, The yellow desert waits for us. Lithe and eager, hand in hand, We travel to the lonely land. There, beneath the stars, the smoke Of our incense shall invoke The Queen of Space; and subtly She Shall bend from Her infinity Like a lambent flame of blue, Touching us, and piercing through All the sense-webs that we are, As the zethyr pe…

THE EQUINOX 58. The mountain stirred not. Therefore went the prophet unto the mountain, and spake unto it. But the feet of the prophet were weary, and the mountain heard not his voice. 59. But I have called unto Thee, and I have journeyed unto Thee, and it availed me not. 60. I waited patiently, and Thou wast with me from the beginning. 61. This now I know, O my beloved, and we are stretched at our ease among the vines. 62. But these thy prophets; they must cry aloud and scourge themselves; they must cross trackless wastes and unfathomed oceans…

THE EQUINOX Of the living tree that is spirit and soul And body and brain—come over the sea, (Io Pan! Io Pan!) Devil or god, to me, to me, My man! my man! Come with trumpets sounding shrill Over the hill! Come with drums low muttering From the spring! Come with flute and come with pipe! Am I not ripe?

Thrust thy sword through the galling fetter, Al…

50 THE EQUINOX In the fields all faery with flowers there lay The placid cows—that had nothing to say, Jeanne, No flame of words from maddening blood, But complacent chewing of the cud. I dared not whisper the sudden fear Of my heart in your miracle of an ear, Jeanne! I tightened my lips, and my hand on yours; So that you might think I loved you more. But now in the midnight the thought endures, And the love—ah what is the dream we adore? Suppose the infinite peace of the heart, Jeanne, The crest and crown of labour and art, Of the mystic quest, of…
