To feel him clamber on me, laid Prone on the couch of lust and shame, To feel him force me like a maid And his great sword within me flame, His breath as hot and quick as fame ; To kiss him and to clasp him tight ; This is my joy without a name, A strong man’s love is my delight. To feel again his love grow grand Touched by the langour of my kiss ; To suck the hot blood from my gland…

…the hidden Knowledge in the Name of Adonai ; the angel answers him: “I am the Prince of Dark ness and of Evil. The wicked and rebellious man gazeth upon the face of Nature, and findeth therein naught but terror and obscurity; unto him it is but the darkness of the darkness, and he is but as a drunken man groping in the dark. Returnl for thou canst not pass by.” Equally, when the Neophyte enters upon the Path of Good, doth the great angel Metatron arrest him with the words: “I am the angel of the Presence divine.

Reasons, hoWever cogent, never convince utterly; but this man in Dhyana has the same commonplace certainty that a man has on waking from a nightmare. “ I wasn’t falling down a thousand flights of stairs, it was only a bad dream.” Similarly comes the reflection of the man who has had experience of Dhyana: “ I am not that wretched insect, that imperceptible parasite of earth ; it was only a bad dream.” And as you could not convince the normal man that his nightmare was m…

… and our methods depend on calculations involving mathematical ideas which have no correspondence in the Universe as we know it. 3 ) 12. Man is ignorant of the nature of his own being and powers. Even his idea of his limitations is based on experience of the past, and every step in his progress extends his empire.

THE STONE OF THE PHILOSOPHERS 73 It was only when the Man and the Socialist, invisiny seeking some pinnacle in the plains of Holbein House, as Sigiri springs from the flat table of the central province of Ceylon, came upon them, that their influence woke them into life. I will cause them to converse, said the Man (who was the Devil), as it were to take you upon an high mountain and show you all the king doms of the earth. I have seen them, said the Socialist. But, said the Man, things look very different from that height. Poverty and vice are the…

Mr. Aleister Crowley has always been, in my opinion, a good poet ; his “ Soul of Osiris,” written during an Egyptian mood, was better poetry than this Browningesque rhapsody in a Buddhist mood ; but this also, though very affected, is very interesting. But the main fact about it is that it is the expression of a man who has really found Buddhism more satisfactory than Christianity. Mr. Crowley begins his …
