…, most pale, blue eyes, Upon thy bosom Oh, the bud and blossom! The flaunting wanton leaps on the stage of the world, And cries: lam the love, the love that never dies, Being born with the lover's death, Yielding mine easy breath Under the never-failing skies, That fail not for shelter over the dim world. And so am I closely curled Upon myself, with petals still, still furled. .. . Over the plains of Art with scornful feet And trailing amber robes, a nymph of time Floats, nimbly fleet Before the vision, And in derision She mocks me for my rime,…

…iving with them we die , only to add more mental tibias and spiritual metatarsals to the groaning back of the future . In the Kingdom of Love these extremes gave birth to two forces , “ Neronic Lust ” and “ Platonic Affec tion .” From a heterogeneous mass of ics , ists , and ians , sprang the idea that there was an inherent evil in the culmination of the nuptial state ; and out of it grew the preying vampirism of Paul . This inherent evil supposed to lie latent in matter , as opposed to the bliss of spirit , Crowley sets forth very forcibly in …

And you will have seen this for yourself, that in every act of Love time and space disappear with the creation of the Life by its virtue, as also doth personality itself. For the third time, then, in even subtler sense, “The word of Sin is Restriction.” Lastly, in the Way of Light this same versicle is the key to the conception of Evil. But here Restriction is in the failure to solve the Great Equation, and, later, to prefer one expression or phase of the Universe to the …

I see through the moonlight that covers (As a mist on the mountain) your head The flame of your heart as a lover’s Shine out in your face and be shed, A ruby that flashes and hovers and droops and is dead. As a saint in a vision half hidden I see the sweet face in a mist, A nimbus of glory unbidden That shades you or shows as you list. But I, as a bridegroom, unchidden, may kiss—and am kissed. In the light and the manifest splendour That shows you in darkness a bride, Pale blossom of moonlight and slender, A lily that sways in the tide, A star …

SONG COME, Love, awaken! O‘er the wild salt sea, Shadows strange-shapen whirl themselves and flee As eddying mist, by storm winds overtaken, And sunbeams kissed—the shafts all curled and shaken In shuddering ecstasy! Come, Love, nor list to tired dreams that twist Thy lithe long limbs in fierce abandonment, Awake, and learn of me the secret of the sea, Whose meaning is the sum of all things blent In fiercest harmony. Soft winds are calling on the cloudy deep, (Like foam-flowers falling from the breasts of Sleep Their Lotus-kiss is), such a world fo…

From the shrill fountain - head of God I draw out water with the rod Made luminous with light of power . I seal each aeon 's period , And wait the moment and the hour . Aloof , alone , unloved , I stand With love and worship in my hand . I commune with the Gods ; I wait Their summons , and I fire the brand . I speak their Word ; and there is Fate . 53

LIBER ALEPH VEL CXI 22 u De Cursu Amoris (Of the Course of Love) CONTINUE then, o my son, and reiterate that this Formula is general to all Nature. And thou wilt note that by repeated Marriage cometh Toleration, so the Ecstasy appeareth no more. Thus his half grain of Morphia, which first opened his Gates of Heaven, is nothing worth to the Self-poisoner after a Year of dayly Practice. So too the Lover findeth no more Joy in Union with his Mistress, so soon as the original Attraction between them is satisfied by repeated Conjunctions. For this A…

All the garb that gladness wears To a rent uncouth attire Changed with cares ; Happy songs our love had made Ere the sun had sunk his fire, - In the moonrise fall and fade, And the dregs of our desire Fall away to death ; Tears divide our labouring breath That our sister—O our sister ! Moon and sun and stars have kissed her She must touch the lips of death, Touch the lips whose coldness saith : Thou art clay. Let us fare away, away To the ice whose ocean gray Tumbles on the beach of rock, Where the wheeling…

There shall rise a sweet song of the soul Far deeper than love or distress ; Beyond mortals and gods shall it roll ; It shall find me, and crave, and caress. Ah! me it shall capture In torrents of rapture ; It shall flood me, and fill, and possess. For brighter from age unto age The weary old world shall renew Its life at the lips of the sage, Its love at …
