The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

…at length in sleep, and, ravishing thee, Bear thee, unknowing, back to the heart of things, The dim, black centre whence sprang Love and Fire Who made the world, and made all suns and worlds, Tearing the thing I now make manifest From the heart of the silent god? Oh, wherefore strive? Art thou not still content to die, sweetheart? Or wilt thou seek me still through all the lives

The God-Eater

…d years ago— logical, I say !—and I will drink, for parenthetical is a poor substitute— [Drinks.] Why, how thou fir’st me! with that icy fire Of adamant thought. It well befits this hour If I recoil the chain whose last smooth link Slides o’er Time’s cogwheel. In the beginning then The vastness of the heavens and the earth Created the idea of God. So Levi once Sarcastic in apostasy ; @ rebourse. So Miller, mythopoeic in his mood Of the unmasking mythopoeia. Now Profounder science, Spencer’s amplitude, Allen’s too shallow erudition, Frazer’s Res…

Ambergris

…there the solemn echoes caught the stress, The strain of that impassive tide, Shook it and flung it high and wide, Till all the air took fire from that melodious roar ; All the mute mountains heard, Bowed, laughed aloud, concurred, And passed the word along, the signal of wide war. All earth took up the sound, And, being in one tune securely bound, Even as a star became the soul of silence most profound. IV. Thus there, the centre of that death that darkened, I sat and listened, if God’s voice should break And pierce the hollow of my ear that h…

Mortadello

… your throat ! The comedy is fierce, is long, is dangerous ; But I am free, but I am strong, am sinuous, Subtle as an asp, implacable as fire or flood, A girl to grasp the crown of hell through wine and blood. Hush ! ’tis the plash of oars. Come, sweet, and bathe me in. Her blood. Come splash me head to feet with scarlet sin ! [She kneels and clasps her hands, raising her voice as the gondola approaches. Dear Christ, preserve me from the lusts of evil men, Or let my martyrdom avail to save them then ! Be pleased to pardon her whose doom unfolds…

I am so sleepy that I cannot concentrate at all. (I was trying the “Bornless One”) The magic goes well; good images and powerful, but I slack right off into sleep. It’s the hour for heroic measures or else to say : A good night’s rest, and start fresh in the morning! I suppose, as usual, I shall say the first and do the second.

Ambergris

…ssed lips of all the sea ; Light shines from all the sky and up to me From the amber floors of sand : Light calls Apollo ! The shafts of fire fledged of the eagle follow The crested surf, and strike the shore, and flee Far from green cover, nymph-enchanted lea, Fountain, and plume them white as the sea-swallow, And turn and quiver in the ocean, seeming The glances of a maiden kissed, or dreaming. Light, as I swim through rollers green and gleaming, Sheds its most subtle sense to penetrate This heart I thought impervious to Fate. Now the sweet l…

Every man that hath seen me forgetteth me never, and I appear oftentimes in the coals of the fire, and upon the smooth white skin of woman, and in the constancy of the waterfall, and in the emptiness of deserts and marshes, and upon great cliffs that look seaward; and in many strange places, where men seek me not. And many thousand times he beholdeth me not. And at the lastI smite myself into him as a vision smiteth into a stone, and whom I call must follow. Now I perceive myself standing in a Druid c…

Magick Without Tears

298 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS finally to the Sun, where they are composed of pure Fire. Eliphaz Levi says: "In the Suns we remember; in the planets we forget." Most of this is the merest speculation, useless and possibly harmful; but I don't mind relaxing occasionally to that extent. What is important is the Oath. One who is vowed to the A :. A:. 's Mission for Mankind, who takes it dead seriously, and who will be neither frightened nor bored from Its majestic purpose, may at any time bind himself by an Oath to reject the rewards of Devachan, and re…
