KE®@®AAH AT BAPHOMET A black two-headed Eagle is GOD; even a Black Triangle is He. In His claws He beareth a sword; yea, a sharp sword is held therein. This Eagle is burnt up in the Great Fire; yet not a feather is scorched. This Eagle is swallowed up in the Great Sea; yet nota feather is wetted. So flieth He in the air,

The Revisers, seeing this most awkward juxtaposition, have gone yet one step lower and translated both words by ‘‘God.” In other passages, however, they have been com- pelled to disclose their own dishonesty and translate ods by ‘‘ gods.” For evidence of this the reader may look up such passages as Ex. xviii, 11; Deut. xxxli, 17; Ps. Ixxxii. [i…
…e thy head For his, thy life for his make mine, And for his folk thou hast spared, slay thine.” But surely I was just and wise! Mercy is God’s own attribute ! Mercy to noble enemies Marks man from baser mould of brute. To fight their swordsmen—who would shirk ¢ To slay a captive—coward’s work ! ‘¢T have loved mercy,” that He said ; Nor bade me slay the Syrian Chief. Yet my head answers for his head ; My people take his people’s grief. Sin, troth, to spare one harmless breath, Sith all my innocents earn death ! By timely mercy peace becomes, And…
xx PRELUDE. _Completing Truth in its amazing span :— “ Godhead is made the Spirit that is Man.” To whose white mountains, and their arduous ways, Turn we our purpose, till the faith that slays Yield up its place to faith that gives us life, The faith to conquer in the higher strife ; Our single purpose, and sublime intent, With their spilt blood to seal our sacrament, Who stand among the martyrs of the Light; Our single purpose, by incarnate might Begotten after travail unto death, To live within the light that quickeneth ; To tread base though…
…ed her: in a day he would have finished the poem. What a wonderful poem it was! One could hear, above the angels that sang, the voice of God in that awful music that made his lines quiver and shimmer like live coals. And the end was to have been so perfect: there was on the last passage of his work a hush, a silence almost as if the world—his world—awaited the voice of some great one. And now the silence is not broken. Perhaps men were not ready for those final chords. Perhaps to hear them would be to pass where he has passed! But oh! the pity!…
…WEST Here's why Creation jumps at prayer . You Christians quote me in a breath This , that , the other atheist's death ; How they sought God ! Of course ! Impair By just a touch of fever , chill, My health - where flies my vivid will ? My carcass with quinine is crammed ; I wish South India were damned ; I wish I had my mother's nursing , Find precious little use in cursing , And slide to leaning on another , God , or the doctor , or my mother . But , dare you quote my fevered word For better than my health averred ? The brainish fancies of a m…
… Even that taunt has left you smiling still, And silent still — and that is ten times worse. Where is my will, my adamantine will? Curse God and die? I can nor die nor curse. Ah, but I can. The agony extends — Iam wrapt up all in an equal hell. There is a point at which emotion ends. Tam come through to peace, though pain yet swell Its paean in my every vein and nerve. Try me, o God, convulse me to the marrow ! I am its element ; I shall not swerve. Lam Apollo too; I loose one arrow Swift enough, straight enough to conquer you. O Sphinx! Gaze o…
… a lure Shall laugh at Fate ; We have tolled Deaths knell ; All streams are pure ; We are new-create ; Alls well, alls well ! We have God to endure, we are very sure Alls well ! In such wise rang the challenge unto Death With clear high eloquence and happy breath ; So did a brave sad heart grow glad again And mock the riddle that the dead Sphinx saith. When I am dead, remember me for this That I bade workers work, and lovers kiss ; Laughed with the Stoic at the dream of pain, And preached with Jesus the evangel bliss. When I am dead, think …

…sses rode, And judged us righteously, and each abode Safe in the shadow of his vine ; as when The peace of Joshua lay upon the land, And God turned not away His piteous eyes, Nor smote us with the fury of His hand, Nor clouded over His mysterious skies, And storm and wind had no more might at all, And death and pestilence forgotten were, And angels came to holy men that call, And gracious spirits thronged the happy air; When God was very gracious to all folk, And lifted from us the Philistian yoke, And all the iron power of Edom broke, And all …
86 THE WHORE IN HEAVEN The chill damp chapel. God denied them not One chance of sight and love: their bed begot The loveliest child angels e’er prayed above, A maiden that an anchorite would love. She grew to beauty and to thoughts divine, Yet knelt each day in prayer to such a Thing As could not (so she knew) create the vine, The air, the linnet, and the water-spring. And every week some red-nosed ranter jarred Her tender ears—(yes, life was very hard }). Then she guessed Love. A village boy she took, And drew his soul out with her amorous loo…

Nay ! can the orison Of myriad fools provoke the Crowned-with- Night Hidden beyond sound and sight In the mystery of Ilis own high essence? Lo, Rose of all the gardens of the world, Did thy most sacred presence Not fill the Rea…
… westward shod with wings of fire And find my love, and in her arms expire, Or wed her for an hour. (Not for an hour as man, but even as God Whose day is like an aeon. Love hath nor station, stage, nor period : But is at once in his inane abode Beneath the spring Dircean.) Alas, the will flies ere the power began. Lo, in the Idan grove Invoking Zeus to swell the power of Pan, The prayer discomfits the demented man ! Lust lies as still as love. 1 Referring to the story of Elisha. - This obscure stanza means: that the in- vocation of high and pur…
