The Argonauts

…n the world. CHORUS. Persistence in these ills—will cure them not. “Worst” is the hunter, “ worse” the hound, when “ bad ” Is the stag’s name. MEDEA. We rule Iolchus’ land. CHORUS. Indeed the hunter follows. I despise Lewd conduct in the lowest, and detest Spells hurtful to the head, when ancient hags Brew their bad liquors at the waning moon, Barking their chants of murder. But to rule A land, and wive a king, and breed to him Kings—then such persons are unsuitable. MEDEA. Unless these words were well repented of I might transform ye into—— CH…

Tale of Archais

THE TALE OF ARCHAIS 19 For his despair ineffable. Her name He called ; she was not, and the piercing flame Of love struck through him, till his tortured mind Drove his young limbs, the wolf that hunts the hind, Far through the forest. Lastly sleep, like death, With strong compulsion of his labouring breath Came on him dreamless. When he woke, the day Stooped toward the splendour of the western bay, And he remembered. Like a wild bird’s cry The song within him flamed, a melody Dreadful and beautiful. The sad sea heard And echoed over earth its b…

The Argonauts

10 ARGONAUTAE. To move the purpose of a thousand years. ‘Go, go! HERACLES. Remember! We are met this. day To call upon the name with praise and prayer Of great Athena, since our ship is built With sculptured olive pregnant in the prow, And all the length of pine is coiled and curled With the swift serpent’s beauty, and the owl Sits in huge state upon the midmost bench. Thus, therefore, by the manifest design, Joining the wisdom to the power and will, We build the Argo. ARGUS. What a heavy club We carry! And how well becomes our figure The lion’…

Thou art a Dian, crescent o’er the sea That beats sonorous on the craggy shore, Or shakes the frail earth-dyke. So calm and still and far, that never more Thy silken song shall quiver through the land ; Only by coral isle, by lonely strand Where no man dwells, thy voice re-wakens wild and grand. Thou artan Aphrodite. From the foam Of golden grape and red thou risest u…

Magick Without Tears

…ust not trust any such theorem; it is little more than a hint to help us in our guesses. Example: an angel appears and tells us that his name is MALIEL (MLlAL) which adds to Ill, the third of the numbers of the Sun. Do we conclude that his nature is solar? In this case, yes, perhaps, because, (on the theory) he took that name for the very reason that it chimed with his nature . But a man may reside at 81 Silver Street without being a lunatic, or be born at five o'clock on the 5th of May, 1905, and make a very poor soldier. I think you already u…
