Then mayest thou hear the voice, though it may be that thou understandeth it not. Yet shall it be a potent spell, whereby thou mayest lay bare the womb of thine understanding to the violence of CHAOS. Now, therefore, for the last time, let the veil of the Aethyr be torn. Aha! Aha!

36 AMBERGRIS A queen is my lover, I say, With a crown of the lilies of light For a maiden they crowned her in May, For the Queen of the Daughters of Day That are flowers of the forest of Night. They crowned her with lilies and blue, They crowned her with yellow and roses ; They gave her a sceptre of rue, And a girdle of laurel and yew, And a basket of pansies in posies. They led her with songs by the stream ; They brought her with tears to the river ; They danced as the maze of a dream ; They kissed her to roses and cream, And they cried, Let …

…RGONAUTS With me the night is fallen in day ; The day swoons back to night; The white and black are woven in gray, Faint sleep of silken light. A strange soft light about me shed Devours the sense of time: Hovers about my sleepy head Some sweet persistent rhyme.
