The Equinox (Volume I, Number IV)

…tten to madness. “ Now do I come before Thee in Thy temple, With offerings from the oak-woods and the breath of the water That girds the earth with a girdle of green starlight; And all the austerity of the brooding summer, And all the wonder of the starlit spaces That stare down awesomely upon the lonely marshes, And the bogs with sucking lips, and the pools that charm the wanderer Till he forgets the world, and rushes to sleep upon them.” 22

The ploughshare is not cruel when it tears the bosom of the earth, and the great revolutions of the world are the husbandry of God. There is a place for everything: to savage peoples, bar- barous masters; to cattle, butchers; to men, judges and fathers. If time could change the sheep into lions, they would eat the butchers and the shepherds. Sheep never change because they do not instruct them- selves; but peoples instruct themselves.

Heaven’s dew-drop glittering in the morn’s first sun- beam within the bosom of the lotus, when dropped on earth becomes a piece of clay; behold, the pearl is now a speck of mire. This is not a mere poetic image. This dew-drop in the lotus is connected with the mantra “Aum Mani Padmen Hum,” and to what this verse really refers is known only to members of the ninth degree of O.T.O. 45. Strive with thy thoughts unclean before they over- power thee. Use them as they will thee, for if thou sparest them and they take ro…

And yet the days stream by ; night shakes the day From his pale throne of purple, to allay The tremors of the earth ; day smiteth dark With the swift poignard dipped in Helios ray.
