The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

… rosebuds Girt thy green mantle, and thy yellow hair, Glittered with the dust of the stars! By the river-side Thou camest to me! Oh, the secret night WhenI stared into the water under the moon, Singing and tumbling on its way to the seal The soft stream flowed under the milky stars; And there were poplars by the water-side, Gazing upon themselves ; but I was blind, Blinder than wood, more silent than the moon. And so thou camest to me, O my darling! My little rose-lipped darling! Fountain-cool Thy hands, and thine eyes warm with celestial fire …

… there will I seek Thee out ; though Thou wrap Thyself in the Flames οἵthe Abyss, even there will I pursue Thee; Though Thou make Thee a secret place in the Heart of the Rose or at the Arms of the Cross that spanneth all-embracing Space; though Thou be in the inmost part of matter, or behind the Veil of mind; Thee will I follow; Thee will I over- take; Thee will I gather into my being. So thus as I chase Thee from fastness to fastness of my brain, as Thou throwest out against me Veil after Magic Veil of glory, or of fear, or of despair, or of d…

I have seen the place where the earth still bledfrom the murder of Abel, and on that place there ran a brook of tears. Under the guidance of the centuries, myriads of men moved on, letting fall their tears into the brook. And Eternity, crouching mournful, gazed upon the tears which fell; she counted them one by one, and there were never enough of them …

The prop- osition is quite as universal. 80. If thou would’st have that stream of hard-earn’d knowledge, of Wisdom heaven-born, remain sweet running waters, thou should’st not leave it to become a stagnant pond. Here we have the same thesis developed with unexpected force. So far from the Path being repose, the slightest slackening turns it stagnant. 81.…

Behold upon my right hand and my left The mighty pillars of amazing fire, And terrible cloud. Their tops in Heaven are veiled, Whereon the everlasting lamps rejoice. Their pedestals upon the Universe Are set in rolling clouds, in thunder-gusts, In vivid flame, and tempest : but to me, Balanced between them, burns the holy light Veilless, one liqui…

But even Venus owes all her charm to the swift messenger of the gods, Mercury, the joyous and ambiguous boy whose tricks first scandalize and then delight Olympus. But Mercury, too, is found wanting. Now in him alone is the secret cure for all the woe of the human race. Swift as ever, he passes, and gives place to the youngest of the gods, to the Virginal Moon. Behold her, Madonna-like,…
