All that this lover sees breathes “ Alice ”; all that he hears reverberates with her name ; all that he smells holds the clinging scent of her hair , Alice , Alice , Alice ! He feels she is beyond him ; yet in his ear whispers the Master ; whose power is rapture . I drew a hideous talisman of lust In many colours where strong sigils shone ; Crook'd mystic language of oblivion , Fitted to crack and scorch the terrene crust And bring the sulphur steaming from the thrust Of Satan's winepress , wa…

She is a wonderful being, wears peacock blues and greens. She has white wings like a swan, and carries a sheaf of many-coloured flowers. She has long, loose, black curling hair down to her waist. There is a golden band round her forehead, studded with sapphires, with her name on it. I can always tell her by this. There has to be a token, because she changes her size so much. Sometimes she is a …
