…els ; the white violet Was born of those pure tears; the snowdrop grew Where wakening hope her agonyshot through, And where the Queen of Love had touched her tears, The new-born lily evermore appears.) So Cypris comforts her with tender words That pierce her bosom, like dividing swords, With hopes and loves requickened, and her breath Grew calm as worship’s, though as dark as death Her soul had been for weary days no few ; Now, lightened by the spirit thrust anew As into a dead body breath of life, She gave sweet thanks with gentle lips that op…

…tars. Yet of my own life they have never breathed One chilly word of fear, or one divine Roseate syllable of hope and joy. Still less of love. For no sweet life of love Lies to my hand, but I am bound by Fate To the strong compulsion of the sword; my lips Shall fasten on my wife’s not much; nor those Pure lips of innocent girlhood that call me Father ; but my lips must wreathe smiles no more, But set in fearful strength of purpose toward The blood of enemies, in horrid gouts And hideous fountains leaping from great gashes, Rather than that belo…

… her eyes So perfectly as here, where passion lies Buried and re-arisen and complete. O happy life too sweet, too perfect sweet, O happy love too perfectly made one Not to arouse the envy of the sun Who sulks six months for spite of it! O love, Too pure and fond for those pale gods above, Too perfect for their iron rods to break, Arise, awake, and die for death’s own sake That one forgetfulness may take us three, Still three, still one, to the Lethean sea, That all its waters may be sweet as those We wandered by, sweet sisters of the rose, That…

… race may end Out into darkness, and our circle bend Round to all glory, in a sudden sweep, And speed triumphant with the sun to friend. Love will not leave my home. She knows my tears, My angers and caprices ; still my ears Listen to singing voices, till I weep Once more, less sadly, and set hounds on fears. She will not leave me comfortless. And why ? Through the dimmed glory of my clouded eye She catches one sharp glint of love for her ; She will not leave me ever till I die : Nay, though I die ! Beyond the distant gloom Heaven springs, a f…

AMBERGRIS 49 Vainly : the lotus burns above the tomb Yea, but in thoughts unfathomable womb ! For spiritual life and love and light Climb the swayed ladder of our various fate ; The steep rude stair that mocks the heros might, Casts off the wise, and crumbles with the great. Yet from the highest crown no blossom fell, Save one, to bring salvation unto Hell. O angel of my spiritual desire ! O luminous master of the silver feet ! O passionate rose of infinite white fire ! O cross of sacrifice made bitter-sweet ! O wide-wing, star-brow, veritab…

…t is the idea of God and of man ; it is the alliance of reason and of faith. Faith cannot be opposed to reason ; it is made necessary by love, it is identical with hope. To love is to believe and hope; and this triple outburst of the soul is called virtue, because, in order to make it, courage is necessary. But would there be any courage in that, if doubt were not possible? Now, to be able to doubt, is to doubt. Doubt is the force 1 This passage is typical of the sublime irony of Levi, and the key to the whole of his paradoxes.—TRANS. 14

…with one example: 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.' What is this injunction? It is a generalisation of St. Augustine's 'Love, and do what thou wilt.' But in The Book of the Law, lest the hearer should be deluded into a spasm of antinomianism, there is a further explanation: 'Love is the law, love under will.' 8. However, the point is that it is no use discussing the results of Yoga, whether that Yoga be the type recommended by Lao-Tze, or Patanjali, or St. Ignatius Loyola, because for our first postulate we have: that these sub…

THE HOLY OF HOLIES 209 Infinite rings of luminous ether move At first amid the blackness that I seek: Infinite motion and amazing love Deaden the lustre of the night. I speak The cry of silence, that is heard unspoken ; That, being heard, rings evermore unbroken. Silence, deep silence. Not a shudder stirs The vast demesne of unforgetful space, No comet’s lunatic rush: no meteor whirs, No star dares breathe, no planet knows his place In that supreme unquiet quietude. I am the master of my own deep mood. I am the master. Yea, no doubt I rule The …

Beneath whose sombre shade I hold a lazy maid In chaste arms and too tender. Lo! she is fair ! God said : And saw through the deep glade How sweet she was and slender. But I—could I behold her Curved shapeliness of shoulder? I, whose strong arms enfold her Trimoculate surrender. Pure as…

…to tune our delight. Slow feet are our measures that move 3 Swift songs are more soft than the breeze ; Our mouths are made mute for our love ; Our eyes are made soft as the dove ; We mingle and move as the seas, The light of the passionate dawn That kissed us, and would not awaken, Grew golden and bold on the lawn ; The rays of the sun are withdrawn At last, and the blossoms are shaken. Oh, fragrant the breeze is that stirs The grasses around us that lean ! Oh, sweet is the whisper that purrs From those wonderful lips that are hers, From the p…

138 THE STAR IN THE WEST psychopathic mist dims his mind , and all the love he lavished on the body of the living woman turns to a lust for her cadaver : 1 The spirit filled me . And behold ! I saw her dead stare to the skies . I came to her , she was not cold , But burning with old infamies . On her incestuous mouth I fell , And lost my soul for Jezebel . They cast her forth on Naboth's field Still living , in her harlot's dress ; Her belly stript , her thighs concealed , For shame's sake and for love's no less . Night falls ; the gaping crowd…
