The Paris lights shone far and drear ; The mist was down ; the night was dank ; The Seine ran easily underneath ; The air was chill: he knew the Seine By pain would put an end to pain, And jumped,—and struggled against death, I doubt not.

I knew that every event in my life had been arranged by the gods to be of use to me in the accomplishment of the Great Work. I did not need an aeroplane: I had a magical carpet. I could travel in my astral body to my temple and perform the Operation, perhaps even more conveniently than in the flesh. Per contra, I could construct my own temple about me and perform the Operation in my physical body. For various reasons, I preferred the latte…

Hope’s being, life’s delight, time’s eager tooth ; All, all are gone ; the serpent sloughs his skin ! The quest is mine ! Here ends mortality In contemplating the eternal Thee. Here, She is willing. Stands the Absolute Reaching its arms toward me. I am mute,

Keep thou our life and mix it with thine eternal sleep : Rest, let us rest from passion there, deep ! O how deep ! Deep calleth unto deep, Amen ! hast thou no passion, thou ? Even now the white flames kindle on thy universal brow. I hear white serpents hiss and wild black dragons roll ; And the storm of love is on thee—ah ! shall it touch thy soul ?

I took nothing seriously except my occult life at any time and that was at present more or less in abeyance. I wrote one or two poems at this time, notably Rosa Inferni, before Rose joined me in St. Moritz, and somehow or other I had written the fourth book of Orpheus part of which is inspired by my experience in Egypt. I published them at once. They had never satisfied me; the form was theoretically impossible. On the other hand, the lyrics and some …

…ss frankly that I cannot read such stuff with patience. I do not mind a background of love properly subordinated to the true interest of life; but I do not know any single book of which it is the main theme which does not disgust me.

"I arise from dreams of thee" and "O lover, I am lonely here" are legitimate. It is the sacrament by which man enters into communion with God. There remain my na…
