The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

…o art I, beyond all I am, Chorus. 78 Who hast no nature and no name, Who art, when all but Thou are gone, Thou, centre and secret of the Sun, Thou, hidden spring of all things known And unknown, Thou aloof, alone, Thou, the true fire within the reed Brooding and breeding, source and seed Of life, love, liberty, and light, Thou beyond speech and beyond sight, Thee I invoke, my faint fresh fire Kindling as my intents aspire. Thee I invoke, abiding one, Thee, centre and secret of the Sun, And that most holy mystery Of which the vehicle am I! Appea…

Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

…ine , Inviting me and love -- to death . You , whom I kept a sacred shrine, Will Aling the portals to the day ; Where shone the moon the sun shall shine, Silver in scarlet melt away . There is yet a pang ; they gave me this Who can ; and you who could have failed ? Is it too late to extend the kiss ? Too late the goddess be unveiled ? O but the generous flower that gives Her kisses to the violent sun , Yet none the less in ardour lives An hour , and then her day is done . Back from my lips, back from my breast ! I hold you as I always will, You…

Ambergris

…o freedom ; Nations past the stormier times of tyrants, Past the sudden spark of a great rebellion, Past the iron gates that are thrust asunder Not without bloodshed : Past the rule of might and the rule of lying, Free from gold’s illusion, and free to cherish Joys of life diviner than war and passion— Falsest of phantoms. Only now true love, like a sun of molten Glory, surging up from a sea of liquid Silver, golden, exquisite, overflowing, Soars into starland. Sphere on sphere unite in the chant of wonder Star to star must add to the glowing c…

Ambergris

…ost flame, Consciousness and sense to shatter, ruin sight and form and name ! Shatter, lake-reflected spectre ; lake, rise up in mist to sun ; Sun, dissolve in showers of nectar, and the Mas- ter’s work is done. Nectar perfume gently stealing, masterful and sweet and strong, Cleanse the world with light of healing in the an- cient House of Wrong ! Free a million million mortals on the wheel of being tossed ! Open wide the mystic portals, and be altogether lost !

The Book of Thoth

…‐ sents the logic of lunatics and (for the most part) of philosophers. It is reason divorced from reality. The card is also ruled by the Sun in Gemini, but the mercurial airy quality of the Sign serves to disperse his rays; this card shows the disruption and disorder of harmonious and stable energy. The hilts of the Swords occupy the positions of the Sephiroth, but the points One to Five and Seven to Nine touch and shatter the central Sword (six) which represents the Sun, the Heart, the child of Chokmah and Binah. The tenth Sword is also in spl…

Jephthah and Other Mysteries

164 MYSTERIES : Dawn’s finger shall be raised, its wrath shall cease, The sun shall rouse us whom the tempest lulled, And thy poor poet’s mind . For respite by its own deep anguish dulled Shall wake again to watch the cruel day Drift slowly on its chill and wasted way With but thy smile to inspire some sad melodious lay. From whose rude caverns sweep these gusty wings That shake the steeples as they mock at God ? Who reared the stallion wind? Whose foaling flings The billows starward? Whose the steeds fire-shod That sweep throughout the world? …

Clouds Without Water

…mirific brilliance. Will you first tire of wit, or I of loving: Tire? O thou sea of love, thy ripples run Into themselves, to my serener sun! AIT! For you I built this faery dome of words And crowned it with the cross of my desire. I circled it with songs of blessed birds And cradled all in the celestial fire. The stars enfold it ; the eternal sun And moon give light; nor clouds nor rain intrude ; Only the dews of Dionysus run In this intoxicating solitude. I have begemmed its marble flame of spires With jewels from the bitss of God, and set Ch…

The Law is for All

…nis-Jesus-Marsyas-Dionysus-Attis- et cetera formula of the Dying God—is no longer efficacious. It rested on the ignorant belief that the Sun died every day, and every year, and that its resurrection was a miracle. The Formula of the New £on recognizes Horus, the Child crowned and conquering, as God. We are all members of the Body of God, the Sun; and about our System is the Ocean of Space. This formula is then to be based upon these facts. Our “Evil,” “Error,” “Darkness,” “Illusion,” whatever one chooses to call it, is simply a phenomenon of ac…

… is ended ; The toils are unwoven, the battle is won ; My lover comes back to my arms, to the splendid Abyss of the air and abode of the sun. The sword be assuaged, and the bow be unbended ! The labour is past, and the victory won. The arrows of song through Hell cease to hurtle. Away to the passionate gardens of Greece, Where the thrush is awake, and the voice of the turtle Is soft in the amorous places of peace, And the tamarisk groves and the olive and myrtle Stir ever with love and content and release. O bountiful bowers and O beautiful gar…
