…uch thouand the thoughts of it thrill me The poppy that flowers in the dusk ! Poppy whose blossom is furled Deep in the breasts of the world Ah ! but the heart is impearled !
…e Hawk-HeadedLord of Silence and of Strength; my nemyss shrouds the night- blue sky. 71. Hail! ye twin warriors about the pillars of the world ! for your time is nigh at hand. 72. I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power; the wand of the Force of Coph Nia— but my left hand is empty, for I have crushed an Universe ; and nought remains. 34
…OND LECTURE. YAMA. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Stars and placental amniotes! And ye inhabitants of the ten thousand worlds! The conclusion of our researches last week was that the ultimate Yoga which gives emancipation, which destroys the sense of separateness which is the root of Desire, is to be made by the concentration of every element of one's being, and annihilating it by intimate combustion with the universe itself. I might here note, in parenthesis, that one of the difficulties of doing this is that all the elements…
… the utter night Feel it the saving, not the avenging light. Yea ! for the worship of my secret song Vibrates through every chasm of the world : Its sound is caught by angels, and made strong : By sylphs, and dewed, and pearled
…unfriendly earth Into the star-abodes of Salmacis, Bringing the soul that slept to sudden birth. O frenzy of flame that swept across the world In orgiastic opulence of mirth, And left me ever in His arms close curled, Never, O never ! to shrink back again, But (through all ruinous time violently hurled) Never to lose the stigma of that pain, The martyrs crown of shameful spines that weighs Even now upon these brows, that bear in vain Fantastic myrtles and deceitful bays And vine-leaves withering even ere they clung. For in His love, His love b…

I think you make the source of all thingsthe Sorbonne ! ALESSANDRO. Well, the three years we spent were worth a score at home. LORENZO. I am glad enough we went ; but all roads lead to Rome. ALESSANDRO. All yours to sentiment ! Well, here we are at home. And nobody has blabbed the news your fervour feared. Which of our friends are stabbed, how long the Doges …
…the door. It seems to me that this turning of the key will intensify my solitude and strengthen the barricades that separate me from the world. Horrible life; horrible town! Let us go over the days work. I saw several men of letters, one of whom asked me if it was possible to go to Russia by land. He doubtless thought Russia was an island. I disputed enthusiastically with the editor of a review who replied to every ob- jection: This is an honest newspaper; implying that all other newspapers were edited by scoundrels. I saluted a score of pe…
… He turned to the wall and sought a bundle of old writing on a shelf. ‘‘ Take this,” he said. ‘‘ Edit it as if it were your own: let the world know how wonderful it was.” I took the manuscript from the frail, white hand. He seemed to forget me altogether. ‘* Namo tassa Bhagavato arahato samma- sambuddhasa,”’' he murmured, turning to his little black Buddha-rupa. There was a calm like unto—might I say, an afterwards? : ‘ There is an end of joy and sorrow, Peace all day long, all night, all morrow,” he began drowsily. A shrill voice rose in a gre…

…blah for ever. It shall not fade, but miraculous colour shall come back to it day after day. Close it in locked glass for a proof to the world. I I. This shall be your only proof. I forbid argument. Conquer! That is enough. I will make easy to you the abstruction from the ill- ordered house in the Victorious City. Thou shalt thyself convey it with worship, 0 pro- phet, though thou likest it not. Thou shalt have danger and trouble. Ra-Hoor-Khu is with thee. Worship me with fire and blood; worship me with swords and with spears. Let the woman be g…
…T Yet was his heart immeasurably sad, For that no questing in his ear he had. Nay! he saw all. He saw the Curse That wrapped in ruin the World primeval. He saw the unborn Universe, And all its gods coeval. He saw, and was, all things at once In Him that is ; he was the stars, The moons, the meteors, the suns, All in one net of triune bars; Inextricably one, inevitably one, Immeasurable, immutable, immense Beyond all the wonder that his soul had won By sense, in spite of sense, and beyond sense. “Praise God!” quoth Palamede, “ by this I attain t…

… 15 Laughing upon the laughing lake below, Expectant of some strange experience Worth all the woes of sense, Some drop of nectar worth a world of wine, Some grace of One divine Worth more than all lifes grace, and more than life intense. Was there a wonder if the silken boy Found her a-playing on the bluebell marge And drank from golden vats the wine of joy ; Hot, eager, overcoming in her breath, As she would draw him to those large And firm white breasts and mix her liquid life With his in pagan strife ? Or with a grace like God, a stealth li…

…d, a gorged fool that belches him, a bubble! But of all plagues wherewith a man is cursed, Take my word for it, woman is the worst! (The World's Tragedy) Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The eternal antagonism between the sexes is mere illusion. As well suppose the male the enemy of the female screw. Understand the spiritual reality of each, grasp their magical formulae; the sublime necessity of the apparent opposition will be apparent. The ultimate of Woman is Nuit; that of Man, Hadit. The Book of the Law speaks ver…
