At the light of thine arrows they went, at the shaking of thy glittering spear ! 4. Thou didst march through the Land in thine indignation: …

John St. John

…e Third Day Now the day being gloriously broken, I awoke with some weariness, not feeling clean and happy, not burning with love unto my Lord Adonai, though ashamed indeed for that thrice or four times in the night I had been awakened by this loyal body, urging me to rise and meditate—and my weak will bade it be at ease and take its rest—oh, wretched man! slave of the hour and of the worm 1 Fifteen cycles of Prana Yama put me right mentally and physically: otherwise they had little apparent success.

…i. Have done all this, and a Work of Kindness. I will again revise the new ritual, dine, return and copy it fair for use. Let Adonai the Lord oversee the Work, that it be per- fect, a sure link with Him, a certain and infallible Conjuration, and Spell, and Working of true Magick Art, that I may invoke Him with success whenever seemeth good unto Him. Unto Him; not unto Me! Is it not written that Except Adonai build the House, they labour in vain that build it? Chez Lavenue. Not feeling like revision, will read through this record.

The one said, ‘Shall I undo the tent?’ ‘Lord, no!’ said the other, ‘on a night like this.’ The third said, as he counted up their money, ‘These pigs do not appreciate music, and their women dance like bears. Luckily, be- fore the month is up we shall be in Austria, where the folk are pleasanter.’ “ ‘Perhaps we should do better to go down to Spain; the year is getting on,’ says one of the others. ‘Let us run away from the rain and get nothing wet but…
