…y morning, The Master Therion went to the office of The International, of which he was editor. At this period there was a coal famine in New York, and it was forbidden to heat office buildings on Mondays. He merely took away his mail and went home. O11 Tuesday morning He found on his desk a letter which had arrived on Monday for the general editor, who had sent it across to Him for reply, as it concerned The Master Therion rather than himself. This letter had been written and posted on Sunday evening, at about the same time — 258 —

… man are really just hollow turnips in churchyards. Take poor Ambrose, for example. He occu- pies one of the most important positions in New York City. He lives his own life for 15 years or so. Nobody is offended. Nobody is injured. Nothing whatever happens. A pleasant time is had by all. Then, suddenly some one discovers this appalling state of circumstances, and there is Ambrose in peril of Sing-Sing and Matteawan, and all those pretty places on the Hudson. He loses his job. He is an outcast from society. He vanishes like morning mist. And th…

…heart! No power is to thy hate assigned On love (sing, poets! shrill, Pandean reecls !), But me, look on me, how my bosom bleeds— Invoke new power of cruelty ; be kind, And ask authority to quench my love! COENUM FATALE. ‘* La cour d’appel de la volonté de ’homme— C’est le ventre !"’— Old proverb. THE worst of meals is that we have to meet. They trick my purpose and evade my will, Remind my conscience that I love her still, And pull my spirit from its lofty seat. For I withdraw myself: my stealthy feet Seek half-ashamed the alembic which I fill…

I see the mighty buttress of the wall Lost in its mighty measure: hear again The lyre’s low notes and light distinctly fall A gentle influence in the place of pain.

Hear then—I hate to hurt your perfect soul ; I hate myself because I love you still In that strange intermediate consciousness, The reason and the mind! This middle way Ancients called safe’—that damns it in- stantly! Without some danger nothing great is done ! Let me be God! Or, failing of that task, 1 "In medio tutissimus ibis.”—Ovib., Were it but by an unit, let me fall! And, falling, be i…

We parted lips from lips and soul from soul To new strange passions in unholy lands, Where love’s breath chars and scorches like a coal. So she is dead to-day—the sweet bells toll A lost, lost soul, a soul in Satan’s bands, A lost, lost soul ! ODE TO VENUS CALLIPYGE.! WHERE was light when thy body came Out of the womb of a perished prayer? Where was life when the sultry air, Hot with the lust of night and shame, | Brooded on dust, when thy shoulders bare S…

Hath the year deceased, And ye await the bidding to fare well? How shall ye fare, thus bound of fate in hell? How, whom no light hath smitten, and released ? Ye trust perchance in God, or man, or priest ? Ay! Let them serve you, let them save you ! Spell The name that guards the human citadel, And answer if your course hath checked or ceased.

…e you now again with an undivided song. Because I can never love you, I cannot do you wrong. I saw in your dying embraces the birth of a new embrace ; In the tears of your pitiful faces, another Holier Face. Unknowing it, undesiring, your lips have led me higher ; You have taught me purer songs that your. souls did not desire ; You have led me through your chambers, where the secret bolt was drawn, To the chambers of the Highest and the secrets of the Dawn ! You have brought me to command you, and not to be denied ; You have taught me in perfec…

A new God stirs in the Womb of its Mother; we can see his form, dim and red, in the cavern of Time. Dare we pronounce his name? Yea!

…he seamy side of life. But the answer admits of no dispute. Truth is the most pre- cious jewel of all. The atmosphere of Mr. Wilkinson’s new book, despite the brightness and insouciance of the manner and the lightness of the incident, is one of the most tragic gloom. The scene opens upon the hero reminding somebody that this is the third application, etc., and unless, etc., yours faithfully, and the novel ends with his reminding somebody, probably the same person, of the same thing. Such an appalling realization of the horror of life makes one …

…erhaps, at first, as if Pratyahara were off the main line of attainment in Yoga. This is not so, because it enables one to deal with the new conditions which are established in the mind by realisation of Dhyana and Samadhi. I can now describe the elementary practices. You should begin with very short periods; it is most important not to overstrain the apparatus which you are using; the mind must be trained very slowly. In my early days I was often satisfied with a minute or two at a time; three or four such periods twice or three times a day. I…

This motto is not a name given to the outer man’s body, but an occult signifier of the aspiration of his soul. “In affirmation of this motto, now doth Osiris send forward the Goddesses of the Scales of the Balance to baptize the aspirant with water and with fire. Even as it is written: ‘ Except a man be born of water and of the spirit: in no wise shall he enter nto the Kingdom of Heaven.’” 253

But no technical failure of any kind soever could necessarily prevent him from accomplishing the Two Critical Tasks, since the fact of his incarnation itself proves that he has taken the Oath which entitled him to attain to the Knowledge and Conversation of his Holy Guardian Angel, and the annihilation of this Ego. One might therefore be an Adeptus Minor o…
