…ith eyes Insatiate of Paradise— Fixed, if the curse of brackish foam Upon the salt unpiteous sea Be fixed, or if the faith of Rome Shall find in hearts of men a home
… ? THE VULTURE With the greatest pleasure, pigeon ! THE DOVE I’ll be off, then. THE LAMB So will I. THE VULTURE I shall know where I can find you. THE LAMB Would you had a moment’s patience ! I had a much better scheme — One involving pigeon-pie ! THE VULTURE Butch ! be off with you. I’ll hop Up again to the tree-top. Yaugh Waugh ! That’s me ! Always at the top of the tree !

…k is death by thirst. The triumph anthem overrides The ocean's lamentable sides, And we are done with life: accurst Who linger; lost who find ; but we Follow the gold wake of the first Who found in losing ; who reversed The dictates of eternity. Lo! in steep meditation hearsed, Coffined in knowledge, fast we flee Unto the island from the sea. 74
CHAPTER I THE TEMPLE THE Temple represents the external Universe. The Magician must take it as he finds it, so that it is of no par- ticular shape; yet we find written, Liber VII, vi, 2: "We made us a Temple of stones in the shape of the Universe, even as thou didst wear openly and I concealed." This shape is the Vesica Piscis; but it is only the greatest of the Magicians who can thus fashion the Temple. There may, however, be some choice of rooms; this refers to the power of the Magician to reincarnate in a suitable body.
… my guerdon : to fade utterly Into the rose -heart of that sanguine vase, And lose my purpose in its silent sea , And lose my life , and find my life , and pass Up to the sea that is as molten glass .? Nirvana . The drowning of self in eternity . Yet if the mind returned not from its abode , and ever rested with God , all would run smoothly enough ; but such a possibility is too transcendental to be actual . If it were , hen this dull house of gold and iron and clay Is happy also — ' tis an easy way !? But this cannot be . The dice are in God's…

You are early hunting, gentlemen. Come in ! My steward shall serve somewhat. Sees Molly. Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! You bring a lady, then, Carruthers ! CARRUTHERS. Madam ! Give me that boy ! ANGELA. You fool, you are too late ! This is a man.
…? At ebbing noon -tide on the hill You come- ah, surely you are there : So near you are , so near - and still I seek you everywhere, Nor find you anywhere. III. Pipe me a silver song, A fleeting strain , Like shining wind along A leafy plain Swift sunlight caught among Shadows and rain. Calling loud and calling still, Over mossy bank and rill , Piping soft and piping shrill . 180
New Testaments from your pockets, you will find in the fourth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles and the thirty-second verse : And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul ; and not one of them said that aught of the things that he possessed was his own, but that they had all things in common. Of course one of them, and he too was a Jew, tried to hold out on the kitty, and was struck miraculously dead for his pains. Lenin and Trotsky never did as well ! So, as Roman Catholics are always telling us, the Church has a mon…
THE EQUINOX so the Karma, released from the body of the dead man, will circle round until it finds the body of a new-born child tuned or syntonized to its particular waves. Now we are not concerned here with stray children who like the receivers of a wireless telegraph pick up either good or evil messages; but it is an interesting fact to learn that at least certain orthodox Buddhists attribute so complex and con- siderable a power to the brain, that by the fact of leaving one body that body perishes, and of entering another that body revives. …

…wth to slay men unaware. II. I have discovered God ! His ghastly way ; Of burning ploughshares for my naked feet Lies open to me—shall I find it sweet To give up sunlight for that mystic day That beams its torture whose red banners beat Their radiant fire Into my shrivelled head, to wither Love’s desire ? 1 2
Crassus. You are a witch. I want your love; you give Only love's comedy. ALICIA. The way to live Is to find comedy and tragedy In everything. But if you cannot see Through to the Bacchanal spirit, this should suit. Here is the blacksmith hammeringa flute. Crassus. Oh love, love, kiss me! Aurcta. I will forge a ring Of bloom of blood-kisses upon your neck, Till it is like a garden of roses in late spring. Crassus. “Soft, and stung softly, fairer for a fleck.” Auicra. O marvellous nation! Vanity, dullness, slobber, and quotation! Crassus. Why do …
…in by thee, And felt thy kisses rain on me, And the hot beating of thy heart, When thy warm sweat should leave me cold, And my worn soul find out no bliss In the obscenities I kiss, And the things shameful that I hold. My nostrils sniff the luxury Of flesh decaying, bowels torn Of festive worms, like Venus, born Of entrails foaming like the sea. Yea, thou art dead. Thy buttocks now Are swan-soft, and thou sweatest not ; And hast a strange desire begot In me, to lick thy bloody brow ;
…o be published as soon as the MS. can be prepared. The reader who is at all familiar with the sublime compu- tations of the Qabalah will find no difficulty in appreciating this Essay to the full; but all will gain benefit from the study of the ratiocinative methods employed. These methods, indeed, are so fine and subtile that they readily sublime into the Intuitive. This study is truly a Royal Magistry, an easy and sure means of exalting the consciousness from Ruach to Neschamah. 166

THE VIRGIN 65 the many a heinous offence , reflecting a light that they cannot find in their gloomy atmosphere . Laws are the concrete opinions of the many , morals the abstract sensations of the few . Outside ourselves ethics do not exist, for they are the great faculty of sentient existence . The law of the survival of the fittest is not moral , it is essential ; but , manifested through reason it becomes ethical . As regards the aspirations of the sexes , nature cares little whether John loves Ann or Mary . Man , however , cares much . John …
…last he cometh to a den Perched high upon the savage scaur, Remote from every haunt of men, From every haunt of life afar. There doth he find Sir Palamede Sitting as steadfast as a star. Scarcely he knew the knight indeed, For he was compassed in a beard White as the streams of snow that feed The lake of Gods and men revered That sitteth upon Caucasus. So muttered he a darkling weird,

Now let us turn to Aleister Crowley , and we shall find his ideal no less great , noble and true than that of Shelley's , the divinest of the poets and pioneers of Truth , Freedom , and Beauty . Love is the finding in others what others cannot find in them , and it is of two degrees . The love of a mother towards her child ; and the love of man and “ large as this total may appear , it is not improbable that it is below the reality than above it. One thing is …
