…ts poetry, all its good will, to every unexpected object, to the stranger who passes by. It is sometimes well to teach the happy of this world, were it only to humiliate for a mo- ment their foolish pride, that there are pleas- ures superior to theirs, pleasures more vast and more refined.

…ish, and the Hæmoglobin would not even save itself. Now, o my Son, do thou then consider deeply of these Things in thine Ordering of the World under the Law of Thelema. For every Individual in the State must be perfect in his own Function, with Contentment, respecting his own Task as necessary and holy, not envious of anothers.

…thou not how all things are for- gotten, — . | Being with a maiden wife ? How a subtle sense of inmost being Wraps thee in, and cuts the world away ; Sight and sound lose hearing and lose seeing, All the night is one with all the day ? Hearken to her sighing !

Mother, I have lain, half dead, half slumber- ing, Curtained in Eurydice her hair ; Clothed in serpent k…

…he present ecstasy is all, the Middle Path, the Golden Mean. An He endure, then love endures : — so El Qahar will ever sing, Till he the world from milk of prayer to wine of me- ditation wean.7 Like peacocks in a garden spread our thousand eyes of jewel-sheen ; Though squawking with an eunuch’s voice, our paederastic plumes we preen.8 For voice is sound, and dies with air ; light is co- excellent with God9 ; As Hate’s a poison for delight, so love’s a physic for the spleen. And El Qahar is Truth, and nought but Allah stuffs his gaberdine,10 And…

I am hurled Far through the vaporous confines of the world With agony of sundering sense, beholding Thy mighty flower, blood-coloured death, unfolding ! Lithe limbs and supple shoulders and lips curled, Curled out to draw me to their monstrous world ! 1 To invest with divine attributes. Warm breasts that glow with light ephemeral And move with passionate music to en- thral, To charm, to enchant, to seal the entrancing breath. I fall! Stop! Spare me!—Slay me! [TA…

… a cannon may be heard before the order to fire is given. Physics is packed with such paradoxes. Now we know of living beings whose time-world is quite different to ours, only touching it over a short common section. Thus, a fly lives in a world which moves so fast that he cannot perceive motion in anything with a speed of less than about a yard a second, so that a man may put his hand upon it if he can restrain the impulse to slap. To this fly, then, the whirling fan would look quite different; he would be able to distinguish the four blades. …

AN APPEAL TO THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC 137 Let all the world keep silence and behold The wrath of two great nations that are friends Against who bartered Poland, and who sold Italy, weighed out Hungary for gold, And shattered Greece to serve no noble ends.

White slaves shall look up and behold a hight Grow in the islands of the sacred sea, And on the land whose forehead kisses night And has the dawn upon its wings, who…
