The Equinox (Volume I, Number III)

…nd indifferent man: but indeed with the very voice and power of a Great Guru, or of one definitely sent from such a Brother of the Great White Lodge. Yea! though he spake unto me words all of disapproval, did I give thanks and grace to God that he had deemed my folly worthy to attract his wisdom.

I will mould from out the universe A new blind angel, with a spirit’s curse. (v) The hour of love is passed; we lie asleep Dreaming of love; we wake to love again. Upon my heart you hide your eyes and weep, And so I understand, and share your pain.

Vomit thy monsters forth in myriads To putrefy this fair green earth with blood, But make not me the devilish minister Of such a deed as this! No resp…
