…er lords That sit as for doom, Bright splendour of swords Leaps forth in your gloom ! But stronger my chords Shall lift in your womb The love of your passage and time, immemorial ages, your tomb. : Ye linger for long, But ye pass and are done: 84
…supreme in deathless pang : Nor shall a sound tnvade that hall of crime, Only the champing of the insatiate fang Of the undying worm our love, fast wed Unto — no happy end, Behold! I have said. — Th — I] The Alchemist
…hem of Andaman. The slaves of reason call this book Abuse-of- Language: they are right. Language was made for men to eat and drink, make love, do barter, die. The wealth of a language consists in its Abstracts; the poorest tongues have wealth of Concretes. Therefore have Adepts praised silence; at least it does not mislead as speech does. Also, Speech is a symptom of Thought. Yet, silence is but the negative side of Truth; the positive side is beyond even silence. Nevertheless, One True God crieth 2rzliu! And the laughter of the Death-rattle is…
…nds! Centre thee in thine heart one scarlet thought Limpid with brilliance of the Light above! Draw into naught Ail life, death, hatred, love: Ail self concentred in the sole desire — Hear thou the Voice of Fire!” ~ 293 —
…irled Away in the wind of its own folly, thrown Into forgotten places and unknown. So I sing on! Sister and wife, dear wife, Light of my love and lady of my life, Answer if thou canst from the unsullied place, Unveiling fur one star-wink thy bright face ! Did we leave then, once cognisant, Time for some Fear to implant His poison? Did we hesitate ? Leave but one little chance to Fate? For one swift second did we wait? There is no need to answer : God is God, A jealous God and evil ; with His rod He smiteth fair and foul, and with His sword Divi…
212 The Diary of a Drug Fiend could see how ill we had been, but all that was gone. Decision and self-confidence had come back; and love had come back with them. I could feel love mingling its turbulent torrent with my blood like the junction of the Rhone and the Arve in Geneva. We walked into a shop and bought a car on the spot, and took it away then and there. There was one at the Grange, but we wanted a racer. We drove back to Greek Streetin a flood of delight. It was a bright, fresh autumn morning; everything had recovered its tone. Winter …

The Spirit of Jehovah, like a dove On wings of love, Breathe the sweet kiss, a sacrament untold, And clothe the heart’s desire with flames of gold. No rash Icarian wing this passion plies, But sanctifies, As if a censer (that a cherub swings) Blossomed with wings And floated up, an incense-breathing bird, With songs half heard Before the throne of God. Even so this life Of sordid strife Is made most holy, beautiful, and pure, By this desire, if this desire endure. So to the altar of the Highest aspire Those souls whose fire Has on it cast one g…
…above All shameful deeds, is Lying, from whose tongue Drops Envy, wed with Hatred to sow Strife. These twain are bitter; but the last is Love.
…nsane! But for aspiring — that I will ! Tannhauser. That is true marriage, in my estimate. Aspire together to one Deity .-' Yes ! But to love thee otherwise than that ? Elizabeth. This one thing clearly do I understand : We shall not marry. It is well, my lord. Tannhauser. Miserable, miserable me ! I bring Hate and disruption and unhappiness Unto all purity I chance to touch. I have no hope but I am fallen now ; So journey, in this purpose of despair, To Lilith and the Venusberg.
…ast aside. I followed like a dog the way she went, Speaking but seldom, very well content To day-dream, oft imagining a bride, A wife, a lover, even a sister, tied By some soft bond of twinning : thus I blent A real joy with a brighter element Of fancy free to wander far and wide. For as I followed by the shore and bended Over her footsteps in the wood, my will Rose to high strength assertive and transcended The petty forms of the seducer’s skill. Chaste love strode forth, a warrior’s stern and splendid Determined footsteps on the Arcadian Hill…
…; The silly “ Thus far and no farther,” nigher Each hour to break (poor arbitrary form !) As each kiss bade our bodies wed and warm Give love one chance before its wave retire. Not so : this trial was the tiniest Man ever knew, confronted afterward With giant fears and passions ;—long to fight And last to yield a Maenad-swelling breast Unto a furious Dionysian horde Drunk not with wine, but with avenging night. 43
…he Diary of a Drug Fiend into the most mysterious quarters. But everything that happened wove itself intoxicatingly into the tapestry of love. We went out on absurd adventures. Even when they were disappointing from the ordinary standpoint, the disappointment itself seemed to add piquancy to the joke. One couldn’t help being grateful to the man for his protecting care. We went into plenty of places where the innocent tourist is considered fair game; and his idiomatic Italian invariably deterred the would-be sportsman. Even at the hotel, he foug…

…he soul-consuming fevers that within Thy heart the fires of hell on earth begin ! O heart whose yearning after truth forsakes The law of love! O heart whose ocean breaks In sterile foam against some golden skin ! O thou whose body is one perfect prayer, One long regret, one agony of shame, Lost in the fragrance, speeding, subtle and rare, Up to the sky, an avenue of flame! My soul, thy body, know the same delight, And burn that incense still in Heaven’s despite.

… The springtide ; may the Minotaur appear, Prodigious offspring of the fatal graft ? The worst has happened. Time must now discover What love had hidden from the wittol’s eyes (What hate may tell him if he read my song, If he be subtle : not if he be wise) In our despair came laughter to my lover : “ All’s well as yet. I calculated wrong.” 81
XV WILL you not learn to separate The essential from the accidental, Love from desire, caprice from fate, The inmost from the merely mental? Our star, the sun, gives life and light: Let that decay, the aeons drown Sense in stagnation ; death and night Smite the fallen fragments of the crown Of spring: but serves the garter so? What wandering meteor is this Across the archipelago Luminous of our starry bliss ? Let that be lost : the smile disputes The forehead’s temple with the frown, When gravitation’s arrow shoots, And stockings happen to slip…

And the soft cushions of the moss-grown trees To royal pillows, and the moon’s young light To gaudy lamps of antique workmanship— JASON. And music of the birds to harps of gold Struck by unwilling fingers for gold coin. MEDEA. Come! lest the curse I call upon this house Eat us up also! May the red plague rot Their bones! I lift my voice and prophesy : The curse shall ne…
… Percy answers : “ No , but I see in her history a poem , to which I trust that God will write an end !” And so the God , who is eternal Love , at present does — in the Lock Hospital or over Waterloo Bridge . Nevertheless there is a great truth hidden in this line . The truth that love shall triumph over mind , or rather that both shall agree . If the carnal act is foul , it is then as foul in the palace as in the brothel : mere prostitution of the body need not necessarily mean a similar prostitution of the mind , as we saw in the “ Tale of Ar…
