… it, god, shrine, and worshippers, into the blackness of the spider's bloated belly. Then they were thrown out violently again, in some slightly altered form, to repeat the same uncanny ritual. With a strong shudder she broke away from that infernal contemplation. Where was the kindly earth, with all its light and beauty? In God's name, why had she left Lavinia King to explore these dreadful realms — of illusion? of imagination? of darker and deadlier reality than life?

All things by heavenly power To that redemption come Equal before Thee in the hour Of joy or martyrdom. Amen. A 58

… up our holy rhyme. Even as a mighty river, bend to bend, We rise in turn and look toward the end. Also, the Gods arisen from the living Lights of the sky, half hidden in the night, Vast shapes beholden of men unbelieving, Staggering the sense and reason with the sight, Manifold, mighty, monstrous, no light giving Unto the soul that is not also light ; We rise in ghastly power; we know the token, © The speech of silence and the song unspoken. ORPHEUS., Come forth to the sound, Ye lustres of years That hide in profound Abysses of fears, Hidden a…

THE EQUINOX stupid as the lamb, sceptical and rebellious as the angel of light. He himself cut the umbilical cord of his simplicity, and, falling free upon the earth, dragged God with him in his fall. And therefore, from this sublime fall, he rises again glorious, with the great convict of Calvary, and enters with Him into the kingdom of heaven. For the kingdom of heaven belongs to intelligence and love, both children of liberty. God has shown liberty to man in the image of a lovely woman, and in order to test his courage, He made the phantom o…

Constantine Michaelides . Are you the toy of air light ? Have you no helm to steer ? A derelict each air sprite To every wind can veer ? Can your guns slay no slayer ? Your sailors hoist no sail ? Have you no magic sayer To conjure up a gale ? Is the orchid flower your magnet ? The waving grass your rope ? Is fickleness your signet ? Your only harbour Hope ? Oh Admiral , Red Admiral, On what sea do you sail ? What wind doth strain your creaking masts ? And whither drives the gale ? 124

The twin lights which flare on the summits are the “ Declarers of Eternal Truth.” The pillars are really obelisks with tetrahedronal capitals slightly flattened at the apices so as to bear each a lamp. At the Eastern part of Malkuth, at its junction-point with the path of n, is placed the altar in the form of a double cube. Its colour is black to represent to the Neophyte the colour of Malkuth; but to the adept there l…

…bid thee to weep or to worship ; I forbid thee to sing or to write ! The Star-Goddess guideth us her ship ; The sails belly out with the light. Beautiful head ! We will sing on our bed Of the beautiful law of the Night ! We are lulled by the whirr of the stars ; We are fanned by the whisper, the wind ; We are locked in unbreakable bars, The love of the spirit and mind. The infinite powers Of rapture are ours ; We are one, and our kisses are kind.

219 LE REVENANT LIKE angels lion-eyed that rove I shall return to thine alcove, Gliding with silent step and light Like the shadows of the night. And I will give thee, dusky dove ! Cold as the moon, these lips of love ; And seek caresses, like a snake Playing round a crystal lake. At the pallid moons disgrace Empty thou shalt find my place That shall be cold till night appear. As others tenderness and truth Desire to rule thy life, thy youth, So will I dominate by fear !

The Path that leadeth on is lighted by one fire— the light of daring burning in the heart. The more one dares, the more he shall obtain. The more he fears, the more that light shall pale—and that alone can guide. For as the lingering sunbeam, that on the top of some tall moun- tain shines, is followed by black night when out it fades, so is 100

The waters narrowed for a space Between twin rocks confined, Carven like Gods for poise and grace, Like miracles for mind: K’ach fashioned like a kissing face, The eyes for joy being b…
