…iona- lism, love in its prudery, chastity into its whoredom ! So I swore, and rose up and kissed Mabel and went home in the might of the holy vision — for the god Pan appeared to me, and abode in me and I in him — and wrote for four nights night by night, until the World’s Tragedy lay finished and perfect before me. All day I kept myself up to the mark by the stern

Yet be thou wake and ware, for the great Angel Hua is about thee, and overshadoweth thee, and at any moment he may come upon thee unawares. The voice of PAZ is ended. BISKRA, ALGERIA.

Yea, o my Son, there is no true Path of Light, save that which…

I got disgusted, called a parley, (Here comes a white-flag treachery !) Asked : “Is there anything you value, Will hold to ?” He laughed, “Chase me, Charlie !” But seeing in his mind that I Would no be so converted, “Shall yo…

But thou, be strong for strife, And, as a god, cry out, and let there be The mark of many footsteps on the sea Of angels hastening to fulfil Thy supreme, single will !

…(Gamiani: ou Deux nuits d'exces) Sacher Masoch (Venus in Furs), with English and American too numerous to list, but notably the poets in Holy Orders: Swift, Sterne, Herrick, Donne, and Herbert. There is also a complete literature of mysticism which approaches or implies this matter; but this type of work is, for the younger student, as dangerous as it is superficially attractive. It encourages the sense of guilt, teaches the venomous art of self-exculpation, and extols that very hypocrisy which Freedom notably condemns. "Tear down that lying sp…

We finish thus ; and all our wretched race Shall finish with its Cycle, and give place To other beings, with their own time-doom Infinite aeons ere our kind began ; Infinite æons after the last man Has joined the mammoth in ea…

And I swear unto thee by Him that sitteth upon the Holy Throne, and liveth and reigneth for ever and ever, that I will be faithful unto this my promise, as thou art faithful unto this thine obligation. Now another voice sounds in the Aethyr, saying: And there was darkness over all the earth unto the ninth hour. And with that the Angel is withdrawn, and the pyramid of light seems very far off. And now I am fallen unto the earth, exceeding weary. Yet my skin tre…
