THE SEVENFOLD SACRAMENT My will to watch, my will to pray. Vain is the consecrated vesture; Vain the high and holy gesture; Vain the proven and perfect spell Enchanting heaven, enchaining hell. Unyoked the horses from the car Wherein I waged celestial war: Mine angel sheathes again his sword At the Interdiction of the Lord. Even hell is shut, lest spite and strife Should show my soul a way to life. Hope dies; faith flickers and is gone. Love weeps, then turns its soul to stone. All nearest, highest, holiest things Drop off; the soul must lose h…

Now then of the Art and Craft of this most Holy Mystery I write not, for a Reason that thou already knowest. Moreover, in this Matter, thou shalt best learn by thine own Experience, and thine Observation in true Science shall guide thee.

…spirit of God, most like a dove, Hovers, and lingers, and wings his flight, Spurned and rejected and lost to sight; But we desire him, a holy bird, And we turn eyes to the hollow hills ; For God is strong, and His iron word Mocks at the gods of the woods and rills. For .our God is as a fire That consumeth every one That is underneath the sun, And our uttermost desire Must abase, with rent attire, Souls and bodies to His throne, Where above the starry choir Stands the jasper, where alone Palest seraphim respire

…in that Palace of untasted gloom ; As, in our life, confronting the black forms Colossal ghosts, like storms ! I did abide in the most holy hall And let the dread word fall, Nor bade the red axe falter There as I bowed mine head Upon the amber altar, And shed my life out there before ye all, Careless if I had summoned from the skies Some young true God, or spoiled the sacrifice, And were but dead as any man is dead ! So I have given up my inmost life Even unto you, sweet wife, Carelessyet conscious of the babe-stirred womb Of some dread Moth…

Bring peace, and strength, and quicken in my heart Mastery of night-fear and the day-flung dart. Yea ! from the limit of the fallen day, And barren ocean of ungathered Time, Bring Night, and bring Eternity, and stay With white wings pointing where tired feet may climb : Even the pathway where shed blood ran deep To build red roses in the land of Sleep.

He who has attained Sammaditthi has at least entered upon the Holy W ay, and, if he but try, there will come to him the power to overcome the other fetters that restri ct his progress.
