…or in the vacuum which he thereby creates, between him and it, burns the fever that he will never subdue until he has annihilated both.{ God, Immortality, Freedom, are appear- ances and not realities, they are Maya and not Atman; Space, Time and Causality§ are appearances and not realities, they also are Maya and not Atman. All that is not Atman is Maya, and Maya is ignorance, and ignorance is sin.

…the wind, and know no certain path— Vet their worst shades are tinged with dawning beams! I have dreamed life a circle or a line, Called God, and Fate, and Chance, and Man, divine. I know not all I say, but through it all Mark the dim hint of ultimate sunshine ! Remember me for this! And when I go To sleep the last sleep in the slumberous snow, Let child and man and woman yet recall One little moment that I loved you so! Let some high pinnacle my tombstone be, My epitaph the murmur of the sea, The clouds of heaven be fleeces for my pall, My gra…

SIR PALAMEDES, THE SARACEN KNIGHT God’s angel, standing sinister, Unfurls this scroll—a sable stain : “Who wins the spur shall ply the spur Upon his proper heart and brain.” He gave the sign of malison On traitor knights and perjured men ; And ever by the sea rode on Sir Palamede the Saracen.

…that art the Scribe hast not the understanding * that alone availeth against Choronzon. And wert thou not protected by the Holy Names of God and the circle, I would rush upon thee and tear thee. For when I made myself like unto a beautiful woman, if thou hadst come to me, I would have rotted thy body with the pox, and thy liver with cancer, and I would have torn off thy testicles with my teeth. And if I had seduced thy pride, and thou hadst bidden me to come into the circle, I would have trampled thee under foot, and for a thousand years should…

16 THE MOTHER’S TRAGEDY O God! is any safety at Thy feet ? Be silent, O be silent for awhile, And I will shrivel up thy wretched ears, Give thee to curse the hour that saw thee first, To curse thy parents and thine own young head. May God forbid that thou should rail on Him! Leave me a little to my torment yet, That I may quell the host of devil forms That eat my soul up, many torturing, And one—ah! one accurséd beyond all— Soothing! O heart of Jesus, bleed with mine! [Kuneels towards East. See, see! I seek Thee on maternal knees ! Conceive Her…

Droop thy wide pinions, O thou mortal God ! Sink thy vast forehead, and let Life consume The miserable life thy feet have trod Beneath them, that thine own life in its doom Fall, in its resurrection to arise ; Stoop, that its holier hope may cleave the skies.

I have depicted such a Servant of God stepping down from his throne at the precise moment when his presence was required, and the tragedy represented in the play stands for the impotent spite of the Evil One, venting itself in personal malice. In short, I have ventured (I trust that in so doing the human pathos of the story has lost …

… the rare beings which the Greeks called Chimaera. So formidable is his appearance that you consider it prudent to assume an appropriate god-form. But who is the appropriate god? You may perhaps consider it best, in view of your complete ignorance as to who he is and where you are, to assume the god-form of Harpocrates, as being good defence in any case; but of course this will not take you very far. If you are sufficiently curious and bold,

… Modern thought, even that of the shallowest, is compelled by Aiwaz to confirm His Law, without knowing what it is about.

CALL OF THE SLYPHS BEHOLD, I am ; a circle on whose hands The twelvefold Kingdom of my Godhead stands. Six are the mighty seats of living breath, The rest sharp sickles, or the horns of death, Which are, and are not, save in mine own power. Sleep they ? They rise at mine appointed hour. I made ye stewards in the primal day, And set your thrones in my celestial way. I gave ye power above the moving time That all your vessels to my crown might climb. From all the corners of your fortress caves Ye might invoke me, and your wise conclaves Should po…

O thou that chafest at thy bars, Invoke Nuit beneath her stars With a pure heart (Her incens…

God’s a cast clout Of a leper ! Leave me here, corruptest of earth’s whores To scrape my sores ! Cry like a dog and run about the city ! There is no word left, now the deed is dead !
