}fe) ORACLES All on their sides are the wounds of lust Wet, from the home of their auburn hair Down to the feet that we find so fair; Where the red sword has a secret thrust, Pain, and delight, and desire they share. Verily pain! and thy daughters trust Thou canst bid roses spring out of dust. Mingle; ye children of such a queen, Mingle, and meet, and sow never a seed ! Mingle, and tingle, and kiss, and bleed With the blood of the life of the Lampsa- cene,! ) With the teeth that know never a pitiful deed . But fret and foam over with kisses obs…

…t ! XVIII. FRIENDSHIP. BETTER than bliss of floral kiss, Eternal rapture caught and held; Better than rapture’s self is this To which we find ourselves compelled, The trick of self-analysis. Thoughts fetter not true love: we weld No bands by logic: on our lips The idle metaphysic quibble Laughs: what portends the late eclipse? What oracle of the solar sybil? Orion’s signal banner dips: ‘* This is the folly of your youth, Achieving the exalted aim 3 Because you have gained a higher truth To call it by a lower name.” XIX. ROsE on the breast of th…

…o the whittlers or ‘‘ recon- cilers”’ on the one hand, nor to the Animistic jugglers on the other. Apart from the Theosophic rubbish, we find Sir Edwin Arnold writing : ) ‘© Whoever saith Nirvana is to cease, Say unto such they lie.” Lie is a strong word and should read ‘‘ translate correctly.” } I suppose it would not scan, nor rhyme: but Sir Edwin is the last person to be de- terred by a little thing like that. Dr. Paul Carus, too, in the ‘‘ Gospel of Buddha,” is pleased to represent Nirvana as a parallel for the Heaven of the Christian It is…

This agony and bloody sweat, This scarring torture of desire, Refine us, madden us, and set The feast of unbegotten fire Before our mouths, that mingle yet In this ; the mighty-moulded lyre Of many stars still strikes above Chords of the mastery of love. This subtle fire, this secret flame, Flashes between us as she goes Beyond the night, beyon…

Suppose that you succeed, that you can attract a soul to you who will find a way to abolish poverty, or to cure cancer, or to — oh! surely you glow with vision, a thousand heights of human progress thrusting their sunlit snows through the clouds of doubt!" Lisa rose again to her feet, but her mood was no longer the same. She put her hands in Simon Iff's. "I think you're a very noble man," she said, "and it's an honour to work in such a cause." Cyril took her in his arms. "Then y…

83 JEPUTHAIL Where the flashes white and wise Find their mortal foe. Let us thither, caring not Anything, or any more, Since the sorrow of our lot Craves to pass the abysmal door. Never more for us shall twine Rosy fingers on the vine. Never maiden lips shall cull Myriad blossoms beautiful. Never cheeks shall dimple over st the perfume of the clover. Never bosoms bright and round Shall be garlanded and bound With the chain of myrtle, wreathed By the fingers of the maid Kach has chosen for a mate, When the west wind lately breathed Murmurs in th…

…Beware ! They’re coming !” and “‘ They’re coming !”” when the wind Bore the blank echoes of their stealthy care To creep up silently and find me there, Hid in the windowless old house, stark blind . For fear—and then—what horrors lurked behind The door firm barred !—and thus they cried in Vain : , . ‘* Open the door !”” Then crouched I mad with fear Till at the dawn their footsteps died again. They can do nothing to me—that is plain— While the door bars them! What is it runs clear Truth in my mind? Once more they may be near ? And then came mem…

The student will find more concerning these semi-mythical beings in Strabo, Diodorus and Varro. Déllinger says: “ This much is undoubted on the joint testimony of Strabo and Mnaseas; the gods whose initiation people received here (Samothrace) were Axieros, i.e, Demeter; Axiokersos, #.e., Hades; and Axiokersa, 7.e., Persephone.”—Dillinger, “ The Gentile and the Jew,” Eng. edition, 1906, vol. i., pp. 172-186, 270

Heaven, as I understand, Nearer than some folk would make it ; God—should you stretch out a hand, Who can be quicker to take it? Then you have pacted an oath—judge you if He will forsake it !

The smile of vermeil lips is past ; The skull’s black grin awhile remains ; The fallen flesh displays aghast Ribbed bars of bone: was Venus cast For this? What Mars attains? Where is the poesy that shed Its dewfall downward through her eyes? | Gaunt sockets stare from bony head. Moves she? Ah me! the living dead! The poet loves? He lies. Others perceive thee…

…to her soul. And she could not even die; it was ferocity and madness that awoke in her. She would wait until the morning — and she would find a way to be avenged. Yet she felt that she was slowly bleeding to death; it did not seem that any morning could ever come to her. She would not be able to face Cyril; it seemed somehow as if the shame were hers. And then she screamed aloud — a soft hand was on her shoulder. "Hush! Hush!" came a gentle voice in her ear. It was the girl who had waited on her at dinner. Even at the time Lisa had noticed that…

…ly from about 25,000 B.C. Largely owing to their own intransigeance, those people have been born under a dif‐ ferent spiritual law; they find themselves not only persecuted by their ancestors, but bewil‐ dered by their own uncertainty of foothold. It must be the task of the pioneers of the new Aeon to put this right.

If you rob a man, you must say it is to help and protect him: that's the ethics — of that country. And everything of value has no value at all — in that country.

THE EQUINOX reader like Christiansen. Nor is it particularly encouraging to those who believe in him when they find him compelled to produce a book like this. It is very clev- erly compiled, most readable and amusing, but there seems to be no care to dis- criminate between well authenticated cases and evident inventions. The critical spirit is hopelessly undeveloped. In particular, I must protest against the pub- lishing of Mr. Machen’s excellent short story about the Angels of Mons with- out any reference to its author, as if there were one si…
