…o obtain it. ALEISTEK CROWLEY. THE APOCALYPSE UNSEALED. Being an Exatm‘c Intznþretatian of THE INITIATION or IOANNEs. By JAMES Μ. PRVSE. New York: John M. Pryse, 9-15 Murray Street, 1910. London: J. Μ. Watkins. 85. δεῖ. net. It is possible to write upon this book in a freer manner, without ofi'ence, than upon any other book in the Canon of Scripture, for there is no other book which has caused so much disquiet to theologians, in all ages, as has the “ Revelation of St John the Divine,” and it is but in comparatively recent times that it has been…

…!—Here’s the strange €XCESS: I called, ere waking, on the name Eheteh ! Solve me the riddle of the dream who can ! That night I sought a new toy for a lure, And she would not: but knew how hard to endure | Is love like ours, the love of purity. So she: “ Dispute it like a man!” and I: “* But I must also feel it as a man!” Note. Eheieh is the Hebrew for ‘‘I] am that Iam.” Its numerical value is 21. I was not aware at the time that this was the 21st day.— AUTHOR.! THE TWENTY-SECOND DAY. ‘*T’ll have her: but I will not keep her long.” Richard Ill,…

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, beyond the Name, Back to her unsubstantial snows; Cold, glittering,…

…ven was so vast that its claws spanned star and star. And with all that he smiled, and a million babe-children blossomed before him like new-budded flowers. And this man quickened as he came nigh to Iliel; he seemed to understand wholly the nature of the Great Experiment. But every soul in all that glorious cohort of immortals, as it touched the cone, was whirled away like a pellet thrown upon a swiftly moving fly- wheel. And presently she perceived the cause of this. The tip of the cone was sheathed in silver. So white and glittering with fier…

…re was lunar might pass into the garden. The others started back, and it seemed to her that they trembled with surprise, as if it were a new thing to them to be repelled. And now she was standing on the Terrace of the Moon with Artemis, watching the body of Lisa la Giuffria, that lay there in its cradle. And she saw that the body was a dead thing, as dead as the cradle itself; it was unreal; all "material" things were unreal, shells void of meaning, geometrical abstractions, as Simon Iff had explained to her on their first meeting. But this bod…

"After all, it was no business of mine," he muttered as he wriggled into his new tunic, to the immense admiration of the tailor, a class whose appreciation of manly beauty depends so largely upon the price of the suit. "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. The trouble comes when you can't lose `em. Poor old Lisa! Poor old Abdul! Well, as I said, it's none of my business. My business is to divine the thoughts of the enemy, and — oh Lord! how long? — to get…

…he had drained. But now, Freedom regained, more manly grows the brow ; He is again the free, the bold, the lover! Far o’er the green his new-starred eyes dis- cover A kirtle glancing in the breeze, a foot That lightly dances, though the skies be mute Of music. Forth she flies, the distant dove, And calls the woodland birds to sing of love ; Forth leaps the stag and calls his mates; the stream Flashes a silver sunbeam, a gold gleam Of leaping laughter, that the fish may know The goodly tidings; all the woodlands glow With olive and pure silver a…

A feast is spread of some unholy meat ; Ofttimes there murmurs through Their horrid ranks a cry of pain, as God Bids them keep memory of Lis iron rod. The vale is black with priests. They fight, Wild beasts, for food, The orphan’s gold, the widow’s right, The virgin’s snood. Allin their maws are crammed within the night That hides their chosen wood, Where through the blackness sounds the sickening noise O…

…other forms of perception. In particular, he has not learnt the meaning of diluted impression, in spite of an admirable story called The New Accelerator by Mr. H. G. Wells. Our vision of things depends upon their speed; for instance, a four-bladed electric fan in motion appears as a diaphanous and shining film. Again, one may see the wheels of automobiles moving backwards in a cinematograph; and, at certain distances, the report of a cannon may be heard before the order to fire is given. Physics is packed with such paradoxes. Now we know of liv…

…ous side must have its innings also.” On July 23rd, Mr. Bernart tells Cardinal Gibbons that he is religious but not orthodox. It is also new to me that the Cardinal ‘likes candy to an unusual degree.’ A great many of these delineations are evidently taken straight from the peo- ple who are mentioned as being born. For example, October 22nd, “You are emotional and dramatic and would make a success upon the stage in all probabil- ity,” which is Sarah Bernhardt. And on Nansen’s birthday, “You have romantic ideas in youth which probably express the…

It is not considered “essential to right conduct” to be an active propa- gandist of the Law, and so on; it may, or may not, be the True Will of any particular person to do so. But since the fundamental purpose of the Order is to further the Attainment of humanity, membership implies, by definition, the Will to help mankind by the means best adapted thereto.

It is no less an hieroglyph of the Inmost Godhead than the Phallus itself, even as Capricornus, the sign of the New Year, is exalted in the Zodiac, its deity autochthonous no less than the Most Holy Ancient One himself. It is essential for the Student to trace this doctrine for himself in every symbol: Air, the elastic and flexible, yet all‐pervading and the element of combustion; Water, fluid yet incom‐ pressible, the most neutral and composed of all components of living matter, yet destructive even of the hardest rock…

In a garden of dark foliage that clusters Round your face as a rosebud with- drawn, New splendour springs carmine and lustres Your cheeks with the coming of dawn, Love’s light as an army that musters its plumes—and is gone. For fear as a fountain, that trembles With wind, is arisen, and hides The light of your love, and dissembles The roar of the passionate tides; Though a flickering flame it resembles, love is, and abides.

Fruits of the earth, our low song joins the crowd. We need not (to be heard) to thunder loud. Our hearts are lifted up, our heads with love low bowed. The tenderest light, the deepest hidden, is shed Up through dark earth—your home, O happy dead !— Crusted in darkness lie the secret lights. Formed in the agony of earth as tear…
