THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING “On turning to the left I saw that near me was a rock door, and then for the first time I became aware that I was clothed in my robes of white.* Passing through the door, I found myself on the face of a high cliff that sank away into the abysms of space below me; and my foot slipping on the slippery stone, I stumbled forward, and would of a certainty have been dashed into that endless gulf, had not the shepherd caught me and held me back. “Then wings were given me, and diving off from that great rocky cliff like a…

ISSA Wine rots the liver ; fever swells the spleen ; Meat clogs the belly ; dusts inflames the eye : Stone irks the bladder ; gout — plague — leprosy ! Man born of woman is most full of trouble ; God a gorged fool that belches him, a bubble ! — But of all plagues wherewith a man is cursed, Take my word for it, woman is the worst !

Norman Davey. “ Crying — 'Oh ! that we might spend less time in this grey ocean friendless, Suffering in torment endless - doomed by a divine decree : Damned , discredited and daunted — fever-ridden , devil haunted By the screeching seagull taunted down the sad Sargasso Sea . " Muttering and moaning ever dismal tales of lost endeavour , Corpses we may not dissever all our shattered decks impede Staring skulls that shine and shimmer : ghastly skeletons that glimmer, As the western sun sinks dimmer in the rank Sargasso weed . “ Lying in a grave u…

…myself go and found myself soothed almost to slumber by the flow of his talk. A wonderful man, like an imbecile child nine-tenths of the time, and yet, at the back of it all, one somehow saw the deep night of his mind suffused with faint sparks of his genius. I had not the slightest idea where he was taking me ; I did not care. I had gone to sleep inside. I woke to find myself sitting in the Café Wisteria once more. The head waiter was excitedly explaining to my companion what a wonderful scene he had missed. “ Mr. Fordham, he nearly kill’ ze L…

…s sign the Moon is “exalted”; her influence is represented not only by the woman, but by the nine nails. It is impossible at the present time to explain this card thoroughly, for only the course of events can show how the new current of initiation will work out. It is the aeon of Horus, of the Child. Though the face of the Hierophant appears benig‐ nant and smiling, and the child himself seems glad with wanton innocence, it is hard to deny that in the expression of the initiator is something mysterious, even sinister. He seems to be enjoying a …

Daughter of Lust by the foam of the sea ! Mother of flame ! Sister of shame ! Tiger that Sin nor her son cannot tame ! Worship to thee ! Glory to thee ! Venus Callipyge, mother of me.

96 The Diary of a Drug Fiend calculate what a wonderful time you can have on a pound. You remember how it goes—twenty grains one penny-weight, three penny-weights one scruple—I forget how many scruples one drachm, eight drachms one ounce, twelve ounces one pound. I’ve got it all wrong. I could never understand English weights and measures. I have never met any one who could. But the point is you could go on a long time on one-eighth of a grain if you have a pound of the stuff. , Well, this will put it all right for you. Fifteen grains is one gr…

…e forge of art. For this woman was a great singer; and no one outside the Order knew of her secret aspirations, or that she retired from time to time to one or the other of the Profess-Houses of the Order, there to pursue a mightier transmutation of her being. She greeted Cyril with peculiar warmth — indeed, it had been she to whom he had once thrown a pair of socks. In a way, it was he that had made her a great artist; for his personality had broken down her dykes; not till she met him had she ever let herself go. And it was by a magical trick…

I will also ask her to stop in Paris for one of those nice iron wreaths with enamelled flowers to put on my nameless grave.” The man’s nonchalance made me suddenly furiously ashamed of myself. I had to spit out between my teeth that he was an unutterable scoundrel. “That’s right, Sir Peter,’’ retorted the Big Lion, “reassure yourself, by all means. ‘The unspeakable Lamus’ is the classical expression, and…

…madarshana, the vision (or apprehension, a much better word) of the Universe as a single phenomenon, outside all limitations, whether of time, space, causality, or what not. Very good, then! Here we are with direct realization of the Advaitist theory of the Universe. Everything fits perfectly. Also, when I say "realization," I want you to understand that I mean what I say in a sense so intense and so absolute that it is impossible to convey my meaning to anyone who has not undergone that experience. 3 How do we judge the "reality" of an ordinar…
