…uit, on the shame |— Shame from the Knowledge and unto the Name— Hide it, O hide it, in flowers of flame! Now in the balance of infinite things Stirs not a feather ; the universe swings Poised on the stealth of ineffable wings. Surely the sable Osirian bird Sole in the zether shall utter the Word Now that its crying can never be heard!

… God balks ¢hzxe endeavour. This sort of thing goes on for ever.” 1 Dinner, XIII. I was a humorous youth enough On earth; I laughed when things were rough. Therefore, I take it, now in Hades The funny side of things—and ladies— Engages my attention. Well! You know enough of life in Hell. I was an altruist, my brothers ! My life one long kind thought for others : For me six maidens wear the willow :— Poisoning is a peccadillo. Hence I’m disposed to give advice Simple, if possibly not nice ; Shun life! an awkward task and deep. But if you cannot,…
…es follow fast and thick: I even tend to overeat. You would not daily with Doreen Because her fairness was to fade, Because you know the things unclean That go to make a mortal maid. I, if her rotten corpse were mine, Would take it as my natural food, Denying all but the Divine Alike in evil and in good. Aspasia may skin me close, And Lais load me with disease. Poor pleasures, bitter bargains, those? I still despise Diogenes. Why must the prig be still the judge? The Deadly-Livelies audit life? Ask of the drone about the drudge! Compute the mis…
…n't want to make explanations. They'll both be all right in five minutes, and they'll think it all a dream. As, indeed, like the rest of things, it is!" But Cyril had to carry la Giuffria. The rapid successions of these mysterious events had ended by throwing her consciousness completely out of gear. She lay in a deep trance. [71] "A very fortunate circumstance!" remarked Simon, when he observed it. "This is the time to take her over to the Profess-House." Cyril wrapped her in her furs; between them they carried her to the boulevard, where Simo…
…o difficult to understand. The subject‐ matter of chemistry and physics in modern times is what they would have called the study of dead things; for the real difference between living things and dead is, in the first instance, their behaviour. The initials of the alchemical motto given above form the word Vitriol. This has noth‐ ing to do with the sulphates of either hydrogen, iron or copper, as might be supposed from modern usage. It represents a balanced combination of the three alchemical principles, Sul‐ phur, Mercury and Salt. These names …
is man. In man are ail things hidden, Of these the Gods, Nature, Time, ail the powers of the universe are rebellions slaves. It is these that men must fight and conquer in the power and in the name of the Beast that hath availed them, the Titan, the Magus, the Man whose number is six hundred and three score and six. III Ihe practice of Rising on the Planes is of such importance that spécial attention must be paid to it. It is part of the essential tech¬ nique of Magick. Instruction in this practice has been given with such conciseness in Liber …

…behold his brother ; No creature in it or upon, the same ! Her members, let them differ ; be no soul Equal ! Let thought, let reasonable things, Bow to thy wings. Thy manifest control, Vexation ! weeding out of one another. Their dwelling-places, let them lose their name ! 109
…lind! The enthusiasm of a youth Is worth the sage and cynic mind. 0 Buddha! couldst thou nowhere rest A pivot for the universe? Must all things be alike confessed Mere changes rung upon a curse? I swear by all the bliss of blue My Phryne with her powder on Is just as false—and just as true— As your disgusting skeleton. Each to his taste: if you prefer This loathly brooding on Decay, I call it Growth, and lovelier Than all the glamours of the day.
44 THE EQUINOX Things beyond history and art In the tresses that tumble over her earl In what grim gloom did Satan get This child on what wood—nymph dishevelled? Whence was the wind that swayed the woods On their bestial beatitudes? Or what garden of rose and violet Lay under the moon wherein they revelled? She is like a poppy-petal. All the seas of sleep are hidden Under the languorous eyelids, whose Lashes are long and strong to bruise My heart where her lusts like hornets settle On sacred leaves, on flowers forbidden. She is like a drug of wo…

…fficient merely to buy a new knife; he felt that he had to make it himself. In order to make the knife, he would require a hundred other things, the acquisition of each of which might require a hundred more; and so on. This shows the impossibility of disentangling one’s self from one’s environment. Even in Magick we cannot get on without the Help of others. 1 There was, however, a further object in this recommendation. Ihe more trouble and difficulty your weapon costs, the more useful you will find it. “If you want a thing well done, do it your…
… back to our previous irritable agnosti- cism, and look for our Messiah elsewhere. But if we can see together on this one point, I think things will go fairly smoothly after- wards. Consider1 Darkness ! Can we philosophi- cally or actually regard as different the dark- ness produced by interference of light and that existing in the mere absence of light ? Is Unity really identical with .9 recurring? Do we not mean different things when we s peak res pectively of 2 sine 60° and of 3 ? Charcoal and diamond are obviously dif- ferent in the categor…

XII These dreams reform Themselves into a rainbow to the storm Of simple passion ; let me from the string Take many-coloured wing As a swift-thoughted arrow Vertically shot against the sun ! I would you were a sow And these my verses were your squealing farrow, That they might suck the milk of your perfection Unto them, that the worlds ear might be won, The worlds heart…

I will cleanse the land of this. Let me remember I am yet a god! Re-enter LEPER. THE LEPER. Thou must be brought before her presently Borne in a coffin. See thou fill it not, But take the lion’s mask and play his part Before the throne. Be ready, and be strong. PACHAD. I shall do so.
