Let the Gods hide themselves: let the Angels be troubled and flee away: for the Eye of My Father is open, and the Book of the Aeons is fallen. Arise! Arise! Arise!

But I perceive, I Orpheus, Lord of Song, And every Lord of Song that me shall follow Down steeps of time’s own agony and wrong, Shall see the lightning bridge the dreadful hollow With jagged flame of master-music, hear The blind curse thunder forth against in vain When the swift glory of the rolling sph…

…R FOLLY 3 g De Vita Corrigenda (Of Correcting Life) NOW, son, that the true Principle of Self-Control is Liberty. For we are born into a World which is in Bondage to Ideals; to them we are perforce fitted, even as the Enemies to the Bed of Procrustes. Each of us, as he grows, learns Repression of himself and his true Will. It is a lie, this folly against self: these Words are written in The Book of the Law. So therefore these Passions in ourselves which we understand to be Hindrances are not part of our True Will, but diseased Appetites, mani…

Of Mohamme- danism I shall not now treat, as, in whatever. light we may decide to regard it (an…
