… have heard this sort of thing a good many times before : ‘The garland I made in my sorrow Was woven of infinite peace; The joy that was white on the morrow Made music of viols at ease. The thoughts of the Highest would borrow The roar of the seas.’ And yet, despite a good deal of bombast about ‘lust being one with love,’ and the like, Mr. Crowley has many poetical qualities, and a good deal of promise. His muse is windy, and boyish in over-emphasis, but he has a true sense of musical sound, and, metrically, he has scarcely a bad line. He shoul…

She was impelled to read the engraving upon the collar, and was able to make out these words: Siderum regina bicornis audi, Luna, puellas. Iliel had learnt no Latin. But these words were not only Latin, but the Latin of Horace; and they were exactly appropriate to the nature of the Great [192] Experiment, "Luna" she had heard, and "regina"; and she might have guessed "puellas" a…

…emed to you, as reminding you of the way in which unlike ideas acquire close kinship as one advanced on the path . Let us get on to your white rages! Well I do know them though I call them black-no, I shall not quarrel about the colour. To me they come almost every day. When I see the maid dust my mantelpiece-which I pay her to do-I want not merely to slay her in the extremity of torment; I want to abolish her, to annihilate her-and the mantelpiece too and everything on it! I can hardly keep from roaring at her to get out and never darken my do…

O silence and sound In the far profound ! O serpent of scales as an armour To bind on the breast of a lord ! Not deaf to the Voice of the Charmer, Not blind to the sweep of the sword !

Forget, O white-faced maid, that I Have dallied long In classic bowers and mystery Of classic song. Eros and Aphrodite now I can forget, Placing upon thy maiden brow Love’s coronet, Wake from the innocent dear sleep Of childhood’s life : An English maiden must not weep To be a wife. So shall our love bridge space, and bring The tender breath Of sun and moon and stars that sing To gladden Death. I see your cheek grow pal…

She looked fine, all over smiles, a very short, white skirt and a new pair of patent leather boots almost up to her knees. She must find them frightfully -hot. She rushed me into a tea place, awfully smart with rose-shaded lights reflected up to a blue ceiling; the combination made a most marvellous purple. We got an alcove shut off by canary-coloured curtains ~ and a set of the loveliest cushions I ever saw. Two big basket chairs and a low table. They have…

One kiss, like snow, to slip, Cool fragrance from thy lip To melt on mine; One kiss, a white-sail ship To laugh and leap and dip Her brows divine ; One kiss, a starbeam faint With love ofa sweet saint, Stolen like a sacrament In the night’s shrine ! One kiss, like moonlight cold Lighting with floral gold The lake’s low tune; One kiss, one flower to fold, On its own calyx rolled At night, in June! One kiss, like dewfall, drawn A veil o’er leaf and lawn— Mix night, and noon, and dawn, Dew, flower,…

… We had found them very useful. We had got down to three goes a day two days running, chiefly by following his advice to take one of the white tablets instead of the heroin whenever the craving became irresistible. He made rather a point of that, by the way. . It was a bad thing, he said, to yield to stress. It wasn’t nearly so harmful to take the heroin when one didn’t feel so badly in need of it. Even after all this time I hadn’t quite got on to the peculiarities of the man’s mind. I had never reached the stage where I could be sure what he c…
