…pume Cast from the holy hiding-place for ever till the day of doom. Rejoice, O podex, in thy strength ! thy spasms like the stars illume Earth’s darkness, life’s disgrace, abash the trifling terrors of the tomb. The nargis scent shall steal about the world, assuage its fret and fume,
…f fire and dew, Lamps of the hollows of the mountain, What dream angelic fathered you On what celestial fountain? Nayl but I lay on lower earth Stagnant in sunless meres! The prison Of monstrous spawn, detested birth— Behold me rearisen ! It was yon fierce diurnal star That licked me up with his huge kisses, And dropped me in his rain afar Upon these frore abysses! Yea! as I press to the cool moss My mouth, and drink at its delirious Delight—acclaim the Sun across The menaces of Sirius !

… is a sharper fang, Reminds my night of a tempestuous morn. For I am lost and lonely: in the skies I see no hope of any sun or star ; On earth there blooms no rose, no nenu- phar; No cross is set for hope of sacrifice. I cannot sleep, I cannot wake; and death Passes me by with his desiréd breath. No shadow in my mind to prove a sun ; No sorrow to declare that joy exists ; A cycle of dim spectres in the mists Moves just a little; lastly there is One, One central Being, one elusive shape, Not to aspire to, not to love; alas! Only a memory in the …
…. Also, o scribe and prophet, though thou be of the princes, it shall not assuage thee nor absolve thee. But ecstasy be thine and joy of earth: ever To me! To me! 54. Change not as much as the style of a letter; for behold! thou, o prophet, shalt not behold all these mysteries hidden therein. 55. The child of thy bowels, he shall behold them. 56.

But dawn shall see a solemn sacrifice, And solemn vows, and long swords glittering, And moving columns that shall shake the earth With firm and manly stride; and victory Most like a dove amid the altar-smoke. CHORUS. We, passing here the night in prayer, will wait And with thee offer up propitious doves, And firstline males of all the flocks of us, JEPIVITIATE. Not so: but [ will have you hence in haste To gather food and arins and carriages, That all our soldiers may have sustenance, And fresher weapons. I alone will spend The lon…
…hood. Our court loves not these wastrel troubadours, Loose locks, flushed faces, soul's unseemliness. The Unknown Minstrel (sings). Amid earth's motley, Gaia's cap and bells, This too material, too unreal life, Sing, sing the crown of tender miracles, The pure true wife ! Sing not of love, the unutterable one, The love divine that Mary has to men. Seek not the winepress and the rising sun Beyond thy ken ! Tannhauser [aside). Who is this man that reads my inmost thought ? The Unknown Minstrel. I sing of love, most delicate and pure, Surely the c…

…or Sight; a Knife for Touch; two cakes, one for taste, the other for smell. He standeth before the Altar of the Universe at Sunset, when Earth-life fades. He summons the Universe, and crowns it with MAGICK Light to replace the sun of natural light. He prays unto, and gives homage to, Ra-Hoor- Khuit; to Him be then sacrifices.

… is in the secret word which I have given unto him. 21. With the God & the Adorer I am nothing: they do not see me. They are as upon the earth; I am Heaven, and there is no other God than me, and my lord Hadit. 22. Now, therefore, I am known to ye by my name Nuit, and to him by a secret name which I will give him when at last he knoweth me. Since I am Infinite Space, and the Infinite Stars thereof, do ye also thus. Bind nothing!

…the sea flashed with blasphemy, and loath Black thunder broke from out the shuddering deep. He swore again, and from its centurys sleep Earthquake arose, and rocked and raved and roared. He swore the third time. But that Heavens Lord Curbed their black wrath, the stars of Heavens vault Had rushed to whelm the sun with vehement assault.

Call, till its beauty bend to earth, Meet thee and lift thee and devise Strange loves within the gleaming girth, And kisses underneath the star Where on her brows its seven rays are.

…E EIGHTH DAY “ A certain aim he took At a fair Vestal throned by the West.” Midsummer Night’s Dream. Here in the extreme west of all the earth This Vestal sate ; and I from Cupid’s bow Loosed a fair shaft of verses shapen so As to fling love through the chaste girdle’s girth, And show my love how meek was my love’s birth, How innocent its being : thus arow Stood the mild lines, immaculate, to show My harmless passion and her own great worth. She could not be offended : and moreover— When at the nightfall I sought Heaven’s light, All my work gre…

Thy cause thou dost to earth degrade, Bounding its nature ; shall Habib’s Delicious podex be displayed To weaklings whose erections lags For them to prate and make parade Of tedious knowledge ? Rather plunge To scabbard the impassioned blade ! Throughout the summer to indulge The sodomitic1 accolade !

The lover giveth his life unto the work among men. The hermit goeth solitary, and giveth only of his light unto men. And I ask him: Why does he tell me that? And he says: I tell thee not. Thou tellest thyself, for thou hast pondered thereupon for many days, and hast not found light. And now that thou art called NEMO, the answer to every riddle that thou hast not found shall spring up in …
