…desire, Melpomene’s terrible lyre, That lifts up her life in the wild, The star-piercing pzan, and floats in mid-ether, and sinks to the earth. These three of the Muses were mine; They nurtured and knew me and kissed. Erato was hidden in wine; Polymnia dawned in the mist : 15

…ing _ Dewdrops flung in spray through air. I have lain and watched the night diminish, Fade and fall into the arms of day, Caring not if earth itself should finish, Caring only if my lover stay ; Listening to her breathing, Laughing, lover-weaving All the silken gold and glory of her head, Kissing as if time Forgot its steeps to climb, Made eternity’s, one with all the dead. Sirny CALLIOPE Listen, then listen, O Thracian ! Oeager lay on the lea: I, from my heavenly station ; I, from my house of creation, Stooped, as a mortal to be Passionate, m…

Orpheus
…en thy lyre awakes Hardly a soul that tenderer music makes. Yet we arise and listen for our own sweet sakes. THE LIVING CREATURES OF THE EARTH The heavy hand is held, And the whips leave weary blows. The mysteries of eld | Are cancelled and expelled, And the miserable throes. All we are shapen fair In many forms of grace, But change is everywhere, And time is all our share And all the ways of space. One lives an hour of day ; One even man’s life exceeds ; One loves to chase and slay ; One loves to sing and play ; Each soul to his own deeds! A s…

I cry till they hear O’er the desolate seas. I call ye! give ear, O seasons, to these Fleet-footed, the strings of the lyre! Come forth! I invoke ye—and cease. 72

I saw red war in heaven ; Saint Michael fell With all his angels on the host of hell. Saint Michael ! praise to thee who didst prevail And pen the demons in the hollow vale ! S 36

…REYER . LOVE VIRGINAL . Lines for Félicien Rops' " Le Bout du Sillon ." THE labour of the fields is hard : Who would subdue the stubborn earth Must first subdue himself ; from birth Of day till dark without reward He must endure . Even as one Of his own beasts he must become Dull - eyed , dark - featured , patient , dumb ; Strong simple servant of the sun . For him the music of the wood In May on heedless ears must fall ; On sightless eyes the carnival Of summer over field and flood . But when love comes ! Ah, when love comes , For him no fette…

… imagination feeds From contours moulded by his skill , And the reflected glow exceeds The parent spark of mind and will . Once more all earth and heaven were strange , Strange to the sea the river flowed ; But not as on that primal change , When panic launched a quivering goad , And pricked each naked newborn sense , And drove me with the flail of fear Out of the wastes of impotence To build foul temples of despair . 116

Jephthah and Other Mysteries
…f thy veins Sickens the sunshine, and thine haggard eyes, Bleared with their own corrupting infamies, Glare through the charnel-house of earthly pains, Horrible as already in hell. There reigns The terror of the knowledge of the lies That mock thee ; thy death’s double destinies Clutch at the throat that sobs, and chokes, and strains. Self-damned on earth, live out thy tortured days, That men may look upon thy face, and see How vile a thing of woman born may be. Then, we are done with thee; go, go thy ways To other hells, thou damned of God her…

…agical spells of years. I saw one cypress melancholy, A prince among his peers. So, turning from the arboreal seat And midmost hollow of earth, I followed Hamadryads’ feet That made at eve their mirth To where the streamlet wandered fleet To show what time was worth. I watched the waters wake and laugh Running o’er pebbly beaches, Writing amazement’s epitaph With freshets, turns, and reaches :— The only tale too short by half That nature ever teaches. Then growing grander as it swept Past bulrushes and ferns, 132

The Book of Thoth
WORRY FIVE OF DISKS The Number Five, Geburah, in the suit of Earth, shows the disruption of the Elements, just as in the other suits. This is emphasized by the rule of Mercury in Taurus, types of energy which are opposed. It needs a very powerful Mercury to upset Taurus; so the natural meaning is Intelligence applied to Labour. The symbol represents five disks in the form of the inverted Pentagram, instability in the very foundations of Matter. The effect is that of an earthquake. They are, however, repre‐ sentative of the five Tatvas; these ho…

Magick Without Tears
… one works off one's Karma after death in Devachan, or Kama Lika, or some such place; when the balance is exhausted one may come back to earth, or in some other way carry on the Great Work. One theory-see Opus Lutetianum, The Paris Working-says that when one has quite finished with Earth-problems, one is promoted to Venus, where 'bodies' are liquid, and thence to Mercury, where they are gaseous, 1. It is quoted at the end of this particular letter, at length.

…shudder and darken, Whence the sea birds have empire to range, Whence the moon and the meteor hearken The perpetual rhythm of change, On earth and in heaven deluded With time, that the soul of us kills, I have passed. I have brooded, fled far to the wooded And desolate hills. Not there is the changing of voices That lament or regret or are sad, But the sun in his strength rejoices, The moon in her beauty is glad. As timeless and deathless time passes, And death is a hermit that dwells By the imminent masses of ice, where the grasses Abandon the…

In the tumult of manifold fire, Multitudinous mutable feet That dance to an infinite lyre On the heart of …
