…are set upon him that pardoneth transgression. Behold the six-fold Star that flameth in the Vault, the seal of the marriage of the great White King and his black slave. So I looked into the Stone, and beheld the six-fold Star: the whole Aethyr is as tawny clouds, like the flame of a furnace. And there is a mighty host of Angels, blue and golden, that throng it, and they cry: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, that art not shaken in the earthquakes, and in the thunders! The end of things is come upon us; the day of be- with-us is at hand! For he hath cr…

…tunic is a pure soft blue. Now the whole Aethyr is swallowed up in a forest of un- quenchable fire, and fearlessly through it all a snow-white eagle flies. And the eagle cries: the house also of death. Come away! The volume of the book is open, the Angel wait- eth without, for the summer is at hand. Come away! For the Aeon is measured, and thy span allotted. Come away! For the mighty sounds have entered into every angle. And they have awakened the Angels of the Aethyrs that slept these three hundred years. For in the Holy letter Shin, that is t…

In treating of this matter I must first premise that by paederasty I mean actual sodomy as de- fined by British law1 — immissio penis in corpus vivum. “ Arse makes life golden, want of it dull yellow ; The rest is only leather and prunella.” At least, the r…

This system of extremes has during the world's history exerted an overwhelming force on the will of man . Beholding a satyr he worshipped a virgin ; feel ing the ills of the flesh , he conceived the bliss of the soul .

… But all this, exquisite as it was, gripping as it was, was in a way superficial. At the bottom of our hearts there seethed and surged a white hot volcanic lake of molten, of infernal, metal. We did not know what hideous, what monstrous abominations were in store for us at the Gatto Fritto. - I have set down how the action of the drugs had partially stripped off the recent layers of memory. It had achieved a parallel result much more efficiently on the moral plane. The toil of countless generations of evolution had been undone in a month. We st…

Her hair was bobbed and dirty white, her dress severely {690} masculine save the single concession of a short straight skirt. Her figure was sturdy and her gait determined though awkward. Laylah found her in a miserable room on 176th Street or thereabouts. Pitifully poor, she had not been able to buy Liber 777 and had therefore worked week after week copying in the Astor Library. She impressed Laylah as an ernest seeker and a practical bus…

… these tastes issue from his eyes; he signua/s them. I can see his eyes now. They are very round, with perfectly black pupils, perfectly white iris, and the cornea pale blue. The sense of desolation is so acute that I keep on trying to get away from the vision. I told him that I could not understand his taste-language, so instead he set up a humming very much like a big electric plant with dynamos going. Now the atmosphere is deep night-blue; and by the power of that atmosphere, the pillars kindle to a dull glowing crim- son, and the throne is …

…Lytton’s. We found a first edition of A Strange Story, with an inscription. Lytton had taken him for the model of Sir Philip Derval, the white magician who gets murdered. Lytton said so in this copy. It was all very weird and exciting. The room was full of the strangest objects. There was a table painted with mysterious designs and characters and a huge cross-hilted sword; two silver crescents separated by two copper spheres and a third for the pommel. The blade was two-edged, engraved with Arabic or some- thing. Cockie began to swing it about.…

And a long, low, white building came into sight. “ But that isn’t an Abbey,” I protested. ‘‘ That’s a villa.” “ That’s because you’re looking with the wrong kind of eyes,’’ objected Hermes. ‘I used to think the same myself before I was educated.” “Do you think Mr. Lamus will be able to educate us ? ’”’ I asked, overpowered by a sense of the comicality of the situation. , “Oh, he isn’t Mr. Lamus here,” retorted Hermes loftily. …

He thought the we would be very much upset by that natural curiosity of the natives at seeing a white woman and interpret their interest as intentional insult. When he found with what practical common sense I travelled, he realized immediately that there was going to be no trouble. During this lunch he gave me more genuinely valuable information about China that I had had in the whole previous course of my life. One of his sayings was this: whatever one hears, however extraordinary, is true in China some…
