John Yarker – In Memoriam

…y even the shadow of disgrace? No, Very Illustrious Prince Patriarchs, if it is to be done at all, let it be done prOperly. Let us elect Lord Alfred Douglas S.G.M.G., and replace the name of the Grand Architect of the Universe by that of Oscar Wilde 1 That would at least be honest, if not clean. I have no concern with the morals of Mr. Wedgwood or Mr. Leadbeater: it is one of the many favours which my daily thanksgiving recites before the Father of us all that I have no concern with them; but that the latter should impose his boy-mistress, imbe…

Now, therefore, I am known to ye by my name Nuit, and to him by a secret name which I will give him when at last he knoweth me. Since I am Infinite Space, and the Infinite Stars thereof, do ye also thus. Bind nothing! Let there be no difference made among you between any one thing & any other thing; for thereby there cometh hurt. 23. But whoso availeth in this, let him be the chief of all! 24. …

He hath heard me well— Awake, O Sword ! Shall he flout a suppliant thus and no answer of favour accord? If mercy be sundered From splendour and power ; If he answer with thunder The plaint ofa flower ; Shall justice wonder If Furies devour So bitter a heart, set a term to his date that was aye but an hour? Avenge me, ye forces Of horror and wrath ! Clear t…

Chapter9 HOW THEY BROUGHT THE BAD NEWS FROM ARAGO TO QUINCAMPOIX: AND WHAT ACTION WAS TAKEN THEREUPON JUST as Lord Antony Bowling turned into the Grands Boulevards from the Faubourg Montmartre, Akbar Pasha was leaving them. The Turk did not see the genially flourished cane; he was preoccupied — and perhaps he did not wish to be recognized. For he dodged among the obscure and dangerous streets of "The Belly of Paris" with many a look behind him. To be sure, this is but a reasonable precaution in a district so favourable to Apache activities. At …

There is a word to say about the Hierophantic task. Behold! there are three ordeals in one, and it may be given in three ways.

The prophets shall prophesy monstrous things, and the wizards shall perform monstrous things. The sorceress shall be desired of all men, and the enchanter shall rule the earth. Blessing unto the name of the Beast, for he hath let loose a mighty flood of fire from his manhood, and from his woman- hood hath he let loose a mighty flood of water. Every thought of his mind …
