…iscipline is done, all courage quashed, all purpose perished. Behind mestrange!the gloom is less obscure than in the East to which the eyes yearn feebly. Do I feel it by instinctthe form of a vast pyramidal hill of stark black rock? I am too weary to turn my head to look. All of a sudden, far behind me, far beyond that crest, if it be one, rings out a voice, clear, firm, courageous, confident. It is a soldier's voice the accent of command, the valour of manhood. None can mistakeI am assuredthat ringing call. Truth, Victory, in each trumpet…

…in , Swin burne , and Shelley , is but another douche of cold water to wake the frowsy sleepers of the night , and wash from their gluey eyes the nightmare of Christian Supremacy . In the earlier poems of Crowley , we find not only a reverential handling of the Christ idea , but an almost orthodox adoration for the Christ Himself . In the last two verses of “ Aceldama " this is strongly brought out . “ Thy love will stand while ocean winds en dure "; and again , “ Here I abandon all myself to thee .” ? In “ Songs of the Spirit ” we find this ve…
THE NEW WINE 283 midst new -born spheres and hoary -headed worlds , “ I would that I were the sky that I might be all eyes to behold thee ,” till the stars circle about us , and the wild comets speed by , and suns embrace suns , and the moons melt shrieking through the firmament . Then all powers will dissolve , and the great golden dawn effulgent will flash through the portals of night , standing before us bride of our desire , robed in a million suns , the stars flaming in her hair , incarnate symbol of perpetual youth . So we feel with Crowl…
…the normal mode of the soul’s power of vision. There is a fathomless meaning, an intensity of delight in all our surroundings, which our eyes must be unsealed to see. In the jubilance of hasheesh, we have only arrived by an improper pathway at the secret of that infinity of beauty which shall be beheld in heaven and earth when the veil of the corporeal drops off, and we know as we are known. Then from the muddy waters of our life, defiled by the centuries of degeneracy through which they have flowed, we shall ascend to the old-time original fou…
…usy Thalia—this beardless, witless filcher of thy fallen crab-apples? This housemaid of the Court Theatre, the Gittite slut whose bleary eyes weep sexless crocodile tears over the crassness of the daughters of the Philistines? Arise, and speak to this palsied megalomaniac, this frowsy Moll Flanders of a degenerated Chelsea, this down-at-heel Jléneur on the outer boulevards of a prostituted literature, this little mongrel dog that fawneth upon the ill-cut trousers of thee, O St. Pancras Pulchinello—this little red-coated person that doth mouth a…

… the Aethyr, for the voice of the Aethyr is hidden and concealed from thee because thou hadst not the key of the door thereof, and thine eyes were not able to bear the splendour of the vision. But thou shalt meditate upon the mysteries thereof, and upon the lady of the Aethyr; and it may be by the wisdom of the Most High that the true voice of the Aethyr, that is continual song, may be heard of thee. Return therefore instantly unto the earth, and sleep not for a while; but withdraw thyself from this matter. And it shall be enough. Thus then was…
…as more terrible than the Death-star. 34. On the threshold stood the fulminant figure of Evil, the Horror of emptiness, with his ghastly eyes like poison- ous wells. He stood, and the chamber was corrupt; the air stank. He was an old and gnarled fish more hideous than the shells of Abaddon. 35. He enveloped me with his demon tentacles; yea, the eight fears took hold upon me. 36. But I was anointed with the right sweet oil of the Magister; I slipped from the embrace as a stone from the sling of a boy of the woodlands. 37. I was smooth and hard a…
…e, Evoe! I adore Thee, I A O!” Lou reached the table, with its dirty, crazy cloth, at which we were sitting. She looked straight into my eyes, though I am sure she did not see me. “O Thou red cobra of desire, that art unhooded by the hands of girls! I adore Thee, Evoe! I adore Thee, I A O!” | She went back from us like a purple storm-cloud, sun-crested. torn from the breasts of the morning by some invisible lightning. “‘Q Thou burning sword of passion, that art torn on the anvil of flesh! I adore Thee, Evoe! I adore Thee, I A O!” A wave of almo…

It was my nineteenth bullet and only the first had failed to strike him in a vital spot. Talking of being charged: the one beast I really fear is the leopard. The tiger gives one a chance, but the cheetah is like an arrow; he is practically invisible as a mark, and one feels that it is impossible either to stop him or get out of his way. He is hard enough to see at any time; but end…
…“ Crévé, nom de D !” but in supreme self-mastery, the iron con- trol of a lunatic whose sanity is at stake, enters stern and silent, his eyes glittering with fiendish joy — Baviére, thy poster is superb!—and develops with calm and scientific precision his system to the raving crowd of madmen and madwomen. Peer Gynt! ay! but Peer Gynt with a tang! Peer Gynt vital, real, terrible. What is the system? That is fine; but remember, my friends, that our own system comes first! Charity begins at home and ends in the workhouse: so the new method must ab…
…uttoned the top of his black waistcoat and drew forth a little reliquary of silver, before which he fell on his knees, with tears in his eyes, and prayers on his lips; Eliphas fell on his knees beside him, and the Abbé opened the reliquary. There were in the reliquary three hosts, one whole, the two others almost like paste, and as it were kneaded with blood. The whole host bore in its centre a heart in relief on both sides; a clot of blood moulded in the form of a heart, which seemed to have been formed in the host itself in an inexplicable ma…
