…" How clever I am / PENTECOST To-DAY thrice halves the lunar week Since you, indignant, heard me speak Indignant. Then I seemed to be So far from Christianity ! Now, other celebrations fit The time, another song shall flit Reponsive to another tune. September's shadow falls on June, But dull November's darkest day Is hghted by the sun of May. Here’s how I got a better learning. It’s a long lane that has no turning ! Mad as a woman-hunted Urning, The lie-chased alethephilist : * Sorcery’s maw gulps the beginner: In Pain’s mill neophytes are gris…

And see ! they break ; he shines ! An omen ! THE DOGE. Call it one ! Is there no risk of storm before the night whose fall Is certain as the death that must envelop all ? GABRIELE. My lord, be of good cheer. Though dusk devour us soon. Remember we have made alliance with the moon THE DOGE. I am satisfied. We float, a serviceable bark. For you remains reward,…

… him: Better to pass where sand and sulphur burn, And days are hazed with heat, and nights are dim With some malarial poison. Better lie Far and forgotten on some desert isle, Where I may watch the silent ships go by, And let them share my burden for awhile. Let me pass out beyond the city gate Where I may wander by the water still, And see the faint few stars immaculate Watch their own beauty in its depth, and chill | Their own desire within its icy stream. Let me move on with vacant eyes, as one Lost in the labyrinth of some ill dream, Move a…

… is neither grammar nor rhyme, I'm afraid ; it’s my mistake entirely, I took a perfectly absurd word to begin with, and after getting as far as this it would be a pity to turn back; the rhymes’ll get worse for certain, so don’t be surprised if they do, but I haven’t lost hope of sticking to grammar yet.] It is goodly and glad to see Gilbert express his poetic regret.

…o me and Mr. Jones And see the rapture of it all! This moral sense is sorry stuff—— You take the peas—give me the pod! Follow your fancy far enough! At last you surely come to God. Who is Mr. Jones? asked Denzil. We have heard of him from our friend here already. Mr. Jones, said the big man, is the Unutterable Tao. Mr. Jones, said the doctor, is (on this illusory plane of Maya) one of the wonders of the world. He is never seen or heard, felt or smelt. Nor hath he been at any time tasted of any. Yet he is everywhere; in all, and causer of all, a…

19 The Act of Truth Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. It seems that last Wednesday I so far forgot myself as to refer to the "Act of Truth" in conversation, and never mentioned what it is when it's at home, or why anyone should perform it, or what happens when one does perform it! All right, I will remedy that; luckily, it is a very simple matter; very important, perfectly paradoxical, and devastatingly effective. Analysed, it is to make the assumption that something which seems very wrong is actually all right, that …

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF HASHISH My contribution to the subject will therefore be strictly personal, and so far incomplete; indeed in a sense valueless, since in such a matter personality may so largely outweigh all other factors of the problem. At the same time I must insist that my armour is more complete in several directions than that of my predecessors, inasmuch as I possess the advantage not only of a prolonged psychological training, a solid constitution, a temperament on which hashish acts by exciting perception (Safifia) quite unalloyed by se…

This, then is the Virtue of the Mind, to be the Wazir of the Will, a true Counsellor, through Intelligence of the Universe.

…all the birds change tune, and all the light Glows lowlier, musing on departed day. Strange wings and sombre, heralding the night, Fleet far across the woods ; and gleaming bright The evening star looks from the orient way. Shadow and silence deepen : all the woods Take on a tenderer phrase of musical Breezes : the stream-sought homes and solitudes Murmur a little where the maiden moods Are sadder as the evenings kisses fall. Like silver scales of serpenthood they fall Across the blind air of the evening ; Shadowy ghosts arise funereal And see…

…ritual advance! One never stops to take the reward. We shall therefore not trouble at all about what any Samadhi may or may not bring as far as its results in our lives are concerned. We began this book, it will be remembered, with considerations of death. Death has now lost all meaning. The idea of death depends on those of the ego, and of time; these ideas have been destroyed; and so “ Death is swallowed up in victory.” We shall now only be interested in what Samadhi is in itself, and in the conditions which cause it. Let us try a final definit…

…perficially. A real Magical Oath cannot be broken: you think it can, but it can't. This is the advantage of a real Magical Oath. However far you go around, you arrive at the end just the same, and all you have done by attempting to break your oath is to involve your- self in the most frightful trouble. It cannot be too clearly understood that such is the nature of things: it does not depend upon the will of any persons, however powerful or
