Rosa Decidua
…ieved twelve labours, won to ease, And was done down to death and madness by The subtle poison that himself distilled. So all the God in life is chilled To a corpse. The informing one ? God’s a cast clout Of a leper ! Leave me here, corruptest of earth’s whores To scrape my sores ! Cry like a dog and run about the city ! There is no word left, now the deed is dead ! No thought of her is in me ; I am a stranger To all that dream of danger And bliss that Rose was. The green shoots

… the second: earth !” ‘*T am dust and THE TWO WISDOMS. SOPHIE! I loved her, tenderly at worst. Yet in my passion’s highest ecstasy, When life lost pleasure in desire to die And never taste again the deadly thirst For those caresses ; even then a curst Sick pang shot through me: looking far on high, Beyond, I see Zogca in the sky. The petty bubble of Love’s pipe is burst ! Yea! through the portals of the dusky dawn I see the nameless Rose of Heaven un- fold ! Yea! through rent passion and desire with- drawn Burns in the East the far ephemeral go…

…h him. A card is not isolated from its fellows. The reactions of the cards, their interplay with each other, must be built into the very life of the student. Then how is he to use them? How is he to blend their life with his? The ideal way is that of contemplation. But this involves initiation of such high degree that it is impossible to describe the method in this place. Nor is it either attractive or suitable to most people. The practical every‐day commonplace way is divination. The traditional technical method of divination by the Tarot here…

…el in the full flower of a period, like La Cousine Bette. It is too lyric. It is like the timid song of a young thrush in the morning of life. For this novel is much more than a great novel. It is the first novel of an epoch. It is the first attempt to depict a man who is living by the Law of Thelema, whose outlook on the world is based upon the magical formule of the #£on of Horus: “Every man and every woman is a star”; “There is no law be- yond Do what thou wilt.” Sanine absolutely refuses to be obfuscated by the fog of false morality. He jud…

…ust asunder Not without bloodshed : Past the rule of might and the rule of lying, Free from golds 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 chorus ; Sun and moon must mingle and speed the echo Flaming through heaven. Night and day divide, and the music strengthens, Gathers…

86 AMBERGRIS Till the Knowledge-Lotus flowering hides the world beneath its stem ; Neither I, nor God life-showering, find a counter- part in them. As a spirit in a vision shows a countenance of fear, Laughs the looker to derision, only comes to dis- appear, Gods and mortals, mind and matter, in the glowing bud dissever : Vein from vein they rend and shatter, and are nothingness for ever. In the blessd, the enlightened, perfect eyes these visions pass, Pass and cease, poor shadows frightened, leave no stain upon the glass. One last stroke, O h…

shore, and as we approached, behold it was a land magnificent and dazzling; it seemed that all the harmonious sounds of life came from it in a vague murmur, and that from this coast, wealthy in every sort of greenery, there ex- haled to a distance of many leagues a delicious odour of flowers and fruits. Immediately everyone was joyful, and ill- humour departed; all quarrels were forgotten, all wrongs pardoned. The duels which had been arranged were erased from memory, and ill-will fled away like clouds of smoke. I alone was sad, inconceivably s…

… Tamas. The really important feature of this card is that its number should be 0. It represents therefore the Negative above the Tree of Life, the source of all things. It is the Qabalistic Zero. It is the equation of the Universe, the initial and final balance of the opposites; Air, in this card, therefore quintessentially means a vacuum. In the medieval pack, the title of the card is Le Mat, adapted from the Italian Matto, madman or fool; the propriety of this title will be considered later. But there is another, or (one might say) a compleme…

…t my young love should work thy fame a wrong } So the grape’s veins in purple ardour burst, And opiates in bloomless gardens throng, And Life, a moon, wanes fast ; But to thy garden richer buds belong And hardier flowers, and Love, a death- less sun, Flames eager to the last, And young desires in fleeter revels run, And Life revives, and all the flowers rejoice, Bird and light butterfly have made their choice, Creation hymns its God with an united voice. There is a storm without. The hoary trees Stagger; the foam is angry on the sea: I know the…
