…, and whose artillery can over- whelm the savage hordes of impurity. We do not think any one will accuse us of flat- tery in saying that Lord Alfred Douglas is just such a person, and this is the more striking pheno- menon as it is so rare to find true moral greatness associated with poetical genius. We write thus in order to direct his attention to a little book published some years ago in Paris, but reprinted in an expur- gated form in England; a book of so abominable a character that I am sure it is only necessary to direct his lordship’s at…

…ld the whole future of poesy — every other form being dead ; nor was he abashed on being reminded of the Scottish farmer 's prayer — " O Lord , take everything from everybody else , and give it ALL to me !” I note further that as a part of this tendency ( or, at all events , concurrently ) the Lyric goes on to remove itself more and more from the music of its origin , to ignore the accompaniment of song and instrument , to become reflective , “ subjective ' and , when emotional , intent on its own emotions rather than on its auditors '.

Well, let it be so!” “Your scorn,” the Great White Spirit replied mildly, “ is perhaps not altogether justified. Though the hole be indeed but a bare inch—yet Graphiel …

2. THE LORD OF ILLUSION2 It is the figure of the Magus of the Taro; in his right arm the torch of the flames blazing upwards; in his left, the cup of poison, a cataract into Hell. And upon his head the evil talis‐ man, blasphemy and blasphemy and blasphemy, in the form of a circle. That is the greatest blasphemy of all (i.e., that the circle should be thus profaned. This evil circle is of three con‐ centric rings). On his feet hath he scythes and swords and sickles; daggers; knives; every sharp thing‐a millionfold, and all in one. And before hi…

THE VIRGIN 87 How long , O Lord , how long ? Too long by half Till men read , wondering , wedlock's epitaph.' Aleister Crowley is but editor of these magnificent sonnets ; let us now see how the ideas in his own poems correspond . In the case of Nina, we have already seen that a good heart can throb in a lewd little breast , and can overcome all except a false society ; which overwhelms it not by bravery , or craft , or even by cunning , but by the dull and stunning power of a leaden club . In the “ Honourable Adulterers " we find a poem strik …

"I think I know who you mean," said Lord Antony, smiling; "and I don't think you need be [248] very much afraid. I never saw any one much better fitted to take care of himself." "For all that, he's in urgent danger at this very moment. He has incurred the greatest possible risk; he has gained a victory. But it has been only a clash of outposts; the enemy is coming up now, horse, foot, and artillery, with lust of revenge and desperate fear to enf…

And the Beast whereon she rideth is the Lord of the City of the Pyramids, that I beheld in the fourteenth Aethyr. Now that is gone in the glow of the cup, and the Angel saith: Not as yet mayest thou understand the mystery of the Beast, for it pertaineth not unto the mystery of this Aire, and few that are new-born unto Understanding are capable thereof. The cup glows ever brighter and fierier. All my sense is unsteady, being smitten with ecstasy. And…

…Symonds : only a crapulous mountebank would credit W.B. Yeats or Robert Bridges with it. The only question is : did not perhaps the late Lord Tennyson foresee events, and leave it to be published when the right time came ? But in this case, how account for Eu- phemias possession of the dainty thing ? Anyway, its not Tennyson : dont worry : I was only teas- ing.
