…ll; he that is filthy shall be filthy still. 58. Yea! deem not of change: ye shall be as ye are, and not other. Therefore the kings of the earth shall be kings for ever. The slaves shall serve. There is none that shall be cast down or lifted up: all is ever as it was. Yet there are masked ones my servants: it may be that yonder beggar is a King. A King may choose his garments as he will: there is no certain test: but a beggar cannot hide his poverty. 59. Beware therefore! Love all, lest per- chance is a King concealed! Say you so? Fool!

… suns a raving wheel, a pulse of hell to beat Its hammer on the hours. The heavens have let loose Hells harsh and horrible powers. All earths a smouldering fuse Trained to the final day that fronts the Judgement seat : The elements pass away molten with fervid heat I have lain prostrate, stunned, not moving hand or foot, Morose and moribund, malevolent and mute, Red nightmare hunting down black nightmare in my brain, My consciousness a crown of unimagined pain, All being dulled and dense, this one chord twanged, the lust That stirs its somn…

CHANGE TWO OF DISKS The number Two, Chokmah, here rules in the suit pertaining to Earth. It shows the type of Energy appropriate to Two, in its most fixed form. According to the doctrine that Change is the support of stability, the card is called Change. Its celestial rulers are Jupiter and Capricornus; and these symbols are most inharmo‐ nious, so that in practical matters the good fortune of Jupiter is very limited. Their influence on the card is not great. Yet, Jupiter being himself the Wheel (Atu X), he emphasizes that idea. The card repres…

…, be toneless ! Match me, sea! than me thou hast many a moan less, Many a million ! Sun, be broken! dew sick ! Ocean flat and poisonous, earth demented ! Living souls go shuddering through the tented Air, his pavilion ! Moon, be eclipsed; be Ay; the pectis clangs me a soulless discord :— Let me break my visible heart a-weeping ! Loving? Drinking? Misery. Singing, sleeping Touch not my sorrow. Orpheus,-turn the sorrow-chord to the bliss- chord ! All may rise the easier that the one set. So our eyes from saddening at the sunset Turn to to-morrow.…

…oosed the lightning, and in hate and dread Despairing, did I break the royal wand. Mortal, a plaything for a thousand fears, I found the earth ; I found a lonely place To gaze for ever on the ocean’s face, Lamenting through the lamentable years ; Without a god, deprived of life and death, Sensible only to that sombre breath. Thus wait I on the spring-forgotten shore ; Looking with vain unweeping eyes, for aye Into the wedding of the sea and sky, (That do not wed, ay me !) for evermore

…lickering feather, brings all things together To nest in the hills. Like a great bird poised in the æther, The mountain keeps watch over earth, On the child that lies sleeping beneath her Wild-eyed from a terrible birth. But by noise of the world unshaken, By dance of the world not bedinned, The hill bides forsaken, yet only to waken Her lover, the wind.

…ife and its gladness Are hidden in strength that distils A potion of madness from berries of sadness Grown wild in the hills. Though the earth be disparted and rended, Thus only the great peaks change That their image is moulded and bended Into all that a fancy may range ; And the silence my song could refigure To the note of a bird did I will, Of glory or rigour, of passion or vigour— The change were to ill ! For silence is better than singing Though a Shelley wove songs in the sky, And hovering is sweeter than winging ; To live is less good t…

The Seven Lamps about Him flame. Myriad archangels cry His name.

If the earth ceased to spin round the sun, it would at once fall into the sun.

Other thoughts will invade 55

The morning shakes its ocean-bathéd tresses, The bright sun broadens over all the earth. The green leaves fall, fall into his caresses, And all the world’s heart leaps, again addresses Its life, and girds it in the golden girth. Then noon full-fashioned lies upon the steep. The large sun sighs and turns his bridle-rein, Thinks of the ocean, turns his heart to sleep, Laughing no longer, not yet prone to weep, Feeling the prelude of the coming pain. The hills and dales are dumb beneath the heat, And all the world lies tranced or mutely dreaming, …
