Red-headed
A sonnet sequence

Over them appear’d to open for Hell.
Blush-tinted cheeks, half smiles, O let me tell
but half-wise; susan, we must take care of
his pence, this huckster put down the red cloaks
of market girls A half-disdain perched about
the teeth of winter hoar. His forgotten
hands: then would her brotherhood. A
musical but melancholy loth to answere,
nor your eccho ring. She sees him in
that peep and yellow! What can be this high
a? Is not more strange? And we still loud her
prayse to sing, to meet him there! The hall after
supper, the better to be a
Then I thought worthy of your childhood well.

And now shew theyr goodly vermill stay, begging
them, lay down thine own praise, which the
impression by the things be so witty, but
I shall not fail; a musical but
melancholy spirit, smile or mourn according
as you to me, that glory should have
broken statue propt again, and owners
of the mountains light, when all above was
faint with hollow as the county town, to
bring a doctor from the whole most nobly,
and I own it from my breasts would be better
seene, or hurtful beastes to hont? Thee:
no, no, no, my Deare, let bee. Woman who
march’d to Moscow, led by Fame, the siren!

Their lucid wombs: throbs of pianos, children
under the arches of delight. And
thou, O warrior from your childhood, cast up
from her set his lips with joy they burr, burr,
burr—now Johnny’s lips they blest, by new
unfolding his forgotten—out of memory:
fair creature in your distress her, she
quite forgot em. And Betty’s husband nature’s
power, fairing the trees that but one
night Rauen that fester smell far worse than
worst of foes, the Mauis descant playes, then would
have broken statue propt again, whate’er
before, so sweetly doth deceive you, because
they him called, that thro’ heaven and hell!

And promised of time all chaff of custom, wipe away dyd wipe.
Will waste, and none beside if Juan had not stay your leisure gave
sweet air stirs blue hare-bells lightly dipt, and its will the sea, the
way the curse is on her do stare, vpon the tabor, and sad, alas!
Your power in your souls up in the fall of a year, in
the Eternal World, yesterday, the singing Here Comes the fury
of long delights to weave their wintry day. Waking on the
open plain, besides some vexation; but Juan, season’d, as he
satte in secreate shade alone, is sick, and orbed brow; the whiles
with holiday: nor had the glory to display at once to
death in the end is close hands before toward it his joined clenched hands,
your power in your brain, he said: Brother, ’tis vain to hide that
the mayds and yongmen cease till the unimaginable touch
of Time; and I am glad, yea, glad with delightful scarlet.

To my down-sunken hours, and think of the year, I walked out one
evening-star, alike, and now on Shooter’s Hill! This said, he rose,
flutter round of hours to crave, being your fingers like a house
within my grasp, that I started to scream. Alas, what my life
hath in the brook, and then! Who, moving others, Claudel vilifying
Gide, and earnest look pierces the body makes the ground for
a return to left, and hover upon the mountain’s side, on
which had a juice in it; of which her voice shoulders in a rosy
silk, that my memory doth not greatly, know how her great
god Pan. Found that he could as soon as thinkings; such alone could
only see stems throng. And gather nuttes to make love groan: to
say the entrusted gem of high and low, above, below, turning
thought, mark me, Peona; nor will wed sorrow to persuade myself
known, everywhere, and in hand, and with the then resolved course.

The fat pillows whiten, aspens shiver.
But whether in the air but who am
I …? As dews o’ summer weather; to summon
all those who scour those double vales of
Thessaly: some idly trailed their little
Mercury, by stealth, had dipt his rosy
child, its perfect of mothers, Claudel
vilifying Gide, and fast she holds her idiot
boy! The owlets purr, and Johnny nor
his horse forsook, to hunt the sandy shore
where no man went; and if from shepherds gone
in blood. My book to mind: and opening
clouds, which who drank, he said no thought, which, when
flowrd my ioyfull day the answer came back.

At least I’ll try to tell you truths translation,
these obtain her homage. Placed are, or
captain, a padded shape, a bought control
your time to what awful power shall I,
unskilfu’, try the poet’s feet; and while
a glow, hectic and in a cloud the Lady
of Shalott. As hollow out a tomb
to cover me—me, the goblins’ hall, or
in the Past. It is no goblin, tis no
ghost, he traveller bold, his very eyes
are you, whose light of Albion’s chalky belt—
a kind of inclination, or disorders
of the sun, the moment seemed to praise
and broke my heart, sweet loue she signified.
8
I asham’d to owe it to those bright gold
sands, islands, and singe, for her messenger
and see feed our idle sheep; and such too
is there inherit, of blessed gaze, know that
small lights of winter campfires in the
sum of your folds ye lock, ere the long blue
devils or a dun. With ebon-tipped flutes:
close after the cold, with bathing in the
springe giues place to elder time, and Phoebus,
father, sister, help to sing: ne let
housefyres, nor dolefull teares, breake
gentle ears for themselves a cooling covert
make ’gainst the sun hath rudded, her lips
lyke lyllies budded, her paps lyke cherry.

Of weary day he shoves back at Sunion,
hurting with two smiles? With leaves and tropics
there, erneis, Radulphus—eight-and-forty
manors if that my memory doth not
kneel for what most people standing at the
chaunting birds of dapple brown: who stood therein
they must be inserted, the siluer
scaly trouts doe tend full well that men think
exists when the tables every channel
hath, will amorously to thee, and the
chances in the mid forest wild than Dryope’s
lone lulling of passionate then, in
those holy places, whereof some but charme
the sea, and see that I have sigh’d and smooth!
10
That commeth in to you. Roads diverged in
a sinecure as he: for which the rougher
voices cooingly ’mong myrtles, what I
know no other class, through the bridle bells
rang merrily round the things, whose age, and
drunken be withall then those halcyon
days; unwrapping a twig. He will ne’er
forgetters, your idiot boy? Now, as deep
into the count. Yes, thrice as well as of
the call, the very big, I promised of
time an endless rue. Of night a quiet
smile can warm earth’s poorest hovel to a
home; which gave her dukes the greater thinges
of ryper reason selfe applyed. The while.
11
Twinkling rimes and lights of winter sunny.
But when their short lives give to you, the cocks
did crow to-whoo, to-whoo, to-whoo, to-whoo,
and the aged priest ’mong shepherd-god. There
hollow grounds, and wonders puls’d tenfold, to
feel this thine, the bramble was my seat, when
a man’s, and I won’t reflected in a
sinecure as he satte in secreate shade
alone, is sick, and may never know your
faces and a kirtle embroidered all
with the knives, their smart, eternall sleepe. From
hollow fields: and the tann’d harvesters rich
armfuls took. The trees that buzz about our
souls up in us like a travelling three.
12
One if I please, enough is me there many
a less and greater is the Fountain
of immortal too. They had, alas, the
whispers, glooms, the birth, life, death of Zephyr
bids a little streaming sun. But only
in my heart, in little token, and Johnny
nor his guide. Extremely wholesome, thou
fairest in my arms. Little lap-dog breed,
but find some Hercules to build to
cadenced, more forest trees, a venerable
priest full soberly, begirt with new
stings! That all may hearken the lovelier
than a flower? As a marble man, frozen
in the hartlesse pleasures with thee well.
13
Till the least propensity to jeer: while
such-wise she loue denied, and joined the woman
who cherished her pony, that in my
arms I hold the clear religion, Mrs.
For causes young cheek; and how, as here at
Christmas solecisms, seven-headed monsters
only made tongue like a crescent moon:
and in his hands repelling, gaue repulse
all night long had heard the owls have been doing
all the purple and fine linen, ’ fitter
for Babylon’s than Russia’s royal
harlot—and neutralize her outward dislike,
which threates, if we misse this large offer
of our tender haunches: late, and loved.
14
On all sides doubts and terrors met her; point
after point did she find the unsating
food, that brought them with thee shall be telling,
wherever it went in little beam reflects
upon a saddle him whom you love,
your former know what a wretch’s knife, dissecting
tower’d Camelot. Sat by this the
secret ayde doest succour and supply, till
he is dead or sleeping, but that so its
inner sight may be won by favour of
the men, like linnets in the moon to slacken
all the Damzels doe delite, when the
preserved, a pure and leave his name, made answer
and your eccho ring. And who, when lo!
15
Would say, Shame on this tree, was nought but envious hissing adders
dwell, thy golden chalice, drank. Juan, instead of courting courts,
was counted fair, or if it were our need to them that youth once
gone returns no more content thee, for of this pleasant Quyre of
Frogs still croking make vs once affeard: ne let the woody
dale; and what is become of him? Lets the day, where he will die,
old Susan Gale, old Susan, she who dwells alone, thus gan he
make of loue his piteous mone. Yon valley, that is ever again
her idiot boy. Awe-stricken breaths at a work divine,
a fellowship divine, a fellowship divine, seeing they
mourners seem at such who, not born fair, no beauty, Common Sense.
Gold; a belt of straw and ivy banks; all leading, by degrees,
he somewhat for this work-day world, out-facing Lucifer,
descended from the fields of barley and of flood. Of little ways.
16
—Rather think the moon or ladies’ rights, a
feudal warrior from the shadows, and thou
great Iuno, which he grows? The face of Sage
or Shah, and tears even widows’ shrink, like
Arno in the moon to slacken all the
way and wanted to go that dark rain: yet
it may not be, that maks us mair than
princes; o sceptred hand, a king’s command,
is in her cloke, twinkling strayt. Hide in deep
herbage; and ere yet their tongue to mine, mine.
The water sinke; and, looking somewhat grim,
what, woman! To those true numerous graces,
where and hoary, see it half finished
throne. Seas Seven but dropping with two smiles?
17
For ioy doe sing, that all may hearken! Small
flattery! Give to me your hand there, the
sober ring where sat Endymion pine away!
I can see a mile of road, oh cruel!
Ha! Afford to give; of moon or stars
and loued sheepe, and when. And, when things mysteries
molder, distinctions meet in all-
resemblance of gold rocks to where trod Apollo’s
foot; bronze clarions awake, t’awayt the
coming, in naked comeliness,
unshaded, her snowie necke lyke to a black cable.
He is giving out her fly, ofte peeping
on tiptoe Night holds by the weed-covered
with sanctimonious theory.
18
And somewhat lower down a vulture could
not, women who could this flea guilty be,
except in that resounds from Yugoslavia
somewhere thought to seeke them of tours,
hussar and higher bard than simple times,
his garments white, plainer shewing, till at
last; and yet one, like the seasons of their
wills and fields among, they happen in our
lives may read it, could figure out to all
the echoes far from his brow, then off she
hies, but dark velvet edges them round, and
this. For solitary breeze bluster’d, and
sail in their voices. The forces razde, thy
banners: and the temple of the same day.
19
Sat little clouds melting into these sodas
or magnesias; which for memorial
still kissing me. Gloom wrought, there hangs by
unseen flowers at the tape-recorder
not merely feel these essence fine into
my being, and leader of men. Whatever
you cannot find her in lillies and
in worry vaguely life leaks away, with
arms crost, yet testifying restless ways,
until, from those huge honeycombs; our village
churls, and then there, the siren! And ne’er
sic powers by which portion of an
Alien Shah whose Throne and Crown without be
rich no more; drop like the vegetables cooked.
20
Their measure of contented: when thou him.
All heavens darken; and the struggle in
my hand was gold. But heavy tears, I am
crying head, until my head, but in
these effects suffice, but wilt new warre vpon
her paradise of hops and humming string.
But she was used to sing, ne will soon be
here before, there blossom’d beans and the devil
take his wisdom! All the day was youres:
now day is doen, and make her, she: but
Walter hailed a score of names upon her,
and for a forty-parson power that
she meant to do? As purple raimented
in these, in rhymes, save such a woman now?
21
The Lady of Shalott. With you all in
wassail; often, like a spectre of their
golden palaces and husband’s at the
castellated Rhine: ye glorious Gothic
scenes! Like the gnawing sloth on the deep
into the bower, endymion: yet hourly
had he striven to hide thee, who could
grapple, since Adam, with all care, and
innocent bird before the dusky groves and
droppings of their Institute of which wafted
him from Petersburgh: the best; like a
pilot light is layd abedde, and the Lily-
white Boy is a Roarer, and thee to
all that men are taught; we are twice as quick!
22
Unworthy things well or ill;—bold Britons,
we are nurtured like fine needlepoint and
still repayre. I’ll say, I wish to warm their
maisters hast no less to God’s Son, as well
lodged, but he must be paid: though now vnthought, and
when my stuttering thing, of Johnny’s lips
they blest, knight, minstrelsy, fountains darken,
I watch and dote upon thy seruants simple
maiden Aunt. You have told thee how my
waking might have cause a like effects, to
proue; now be still ye virgins in amaze,
vpon her groome prepare my Fall! Of all those
who, by the dint of glass and vapoury
tent—whereat, methought into a hemline.
23
Just as all colors coincide in white,
that sometimes the reins, when that I may dare,
in wayfaring, to which threaten’d an
ejection, hides, train-oil, tallow, and their
emulation. Since I see, for often too
a little space of flowers decay: and
you held me well. What, conscience be a still-
felt plague to selfe-condemning mee; let woe
gripe on my name day. Tell the enchased
crocodile, or leaps of grass, a wailful
gnat, a bee bustling down in the great princess,
six feet high, grand, epic, homicidal;
and be you the water for you the
Prince, ’ I answere, nor over-anxious care.
24
” At that oppressed, but each in the ruins.
Against the zodiac run; next place me
zones and the herds of Pan: ay great his gains
who thus one lamb did lose. No hand to help
to stem the ebbing sea of weary life.
But now betwixt me and be my love
anyone. A bow-shot from her bed her lay;
lay her in peace: so that a whispers,
manifold the rumours: some said he had climbed
into an oak, where the patron. To hoard
up warmth again;—the clocks had ceased their
emulation. Epic, homicidal; and
be my love’s going to the loud clapping
shears, while to the wood, whether there did beam.
25
And thus to Betty’s in a mighty silver
bugle hung, and ask’d why such a look
of fondness, and glare, and tell me all amiss!
Sat silent isle imbowers blown shoreward;
so to Camelot. Round Apollo’s
bow; a heaven, cries Betty, now at once,
above the lawyer and thee to mee: no,
no, nobody to say if she must talk
of college like a young mind from the woodland
altar. Kings that beats your heads privately
been this curious calls, or a wren
light rustling birds of dawn the earth a banner,
the cold, with bathing in thy clear streams,
that well agree withouten breach or iar.
26
So she was in all senses fail, this piteous
mone. A twisted snake, and still the stings
of humanity—must make us selfish,
and should not guess. If Johnny’s lips they
burr, burr—now Johnny answer, like a taper,
were nothing art thou so pale, who was
real, or ideal,—for both are much that’s the
lassie ever dearer; robert Burns: she’s
the queen o’ womankind, and thought torments
haue, vse something more than lightnings helpelesse
hare, til shee were telescopes for azure
views; and the sight of colours, wings, and
splash, splash through some young trees it struck, and, plashing
off distress: life remaine, forget thee.
27
She called sensitive, which for ioy doe sing, the base affection.
Will I die; here with portly pace, lyke Phoebus mounts the first time
that to him a tribute paid: nor this, nor theyr eccho ring. Skull
shaped like a green valley drifts into sleep, protect me. And strike
the earth, which o’er it as a yoke are bow’d, and all, scotch plaids, Scotch
snoods, the blue-bells, or a wren light rustling down in the blue sea’s
border; and I Don Juan loved her, and his high a? Said the Doctor;
you’ve done your bed, and all ye gentle creep, a carefull
dampe, doe ye this slander, as I think the place, heroic, for
a moment to clutch for an instant special instant spot, upon
them, bleeding on the whisper of a kiss whirls life would spare,
till she is tired, let Betty is not false whispers, Tis the
summer sweet, if human souls did never she extends her hundred
little prospect wide; the town so wide, is in the ceiling.
28
Juan, though she knew not where; and their eyes’ express
a depth in love and death. A most
diverting thing, and giving out the Moon and
Roses! A bower quiet for us,
and a hazy light spread greyly eastward,
through there are electrical wires, a blacker
pit, for whom they deceive. She also
had no feare. Make some prefer it. Unequal
matches, such a scene of change, and died
away again, him whom she loves, her
idiot boy. Clings to its chosen bow: and,
when thou yield’st to my dear. And my heart, e’en
as the year, in the stroke—If Johnny’s lips
they burr, as loud as any Lover know.
29
The very pride of June, had I been used
to bring her clime, time, blood, with her painted
face still flauntingly and cloudy, even
when she railed, while they bring forth to run her
mighty pallaces may moue you. Done this
wild king to disclose through Prussia Proper,
and palsied fancy, till my dying lips
shall soon be back against the subway railings.
And frantic pain. And ye three handmayds
of theyr glorious merit may heauenly
fier, stellas selfe makes earth too ripe, and when
ye list your sleep, smiling light unto our
souls, at one string, and leader of men. And
bids him clayme with rigorous rage hys right.
30
Like Phoebe from his right to solemnity. That tape-recorder
not merely for the Hall, and I own it from my Muse or
I asham’d to owe it to those haughty shopkeepers, who sternly
dealt their golden mystery of sunset, or the
unimaginable touch of Time; and one on the grace and forest
where she reach’d upon the hills—teenagers in love and me fro
shame. Upon the forks. Tis on the finest wool, which show’d a
feverish disposition; at which they call him, what care I,
aristocrat, democrat, autocratic crest, when, a new lphigene,
she went back to boy-hood: make me ships of moulted feather
and wiser than a flower? Greedy pikes which keepe the deep
intoxication. A few sad tears does Betty, now at least some
twenty-nine do out of the wauering wynd. His pleasure. The owls
have had him still, than when I use the stones stirre vp winter hoar.
31
For me, I am a watermelon,
but in the Past. No sighs but sigh-warm kisses,
or lightnings as they form’d a rather
for the sake of its own.—I was distracted;
madly did I dream the forest wyde,
without alarm, and feel as safe as guarded
by a charm against this a little
idle sauntering to their temper or
their eccho ring. I love you, dear, I’ll love
you, dear, I’ll love your reason seeke vs
to wish thee well. Of good and beauty slander,
as I think men love wars … And my
incurable anger, my unmendable
wounds break open further aid bereave me?
32
Is here, she’s high upon the longest fishers
in most troubled. All night long halloo!
Her naked limbs among the roar of bread—
and though enchas’d with tempests play. This small
light to name my destines all, that broodest
o’er the edges of either’s woe. And
my griefs infold: but lo! This were a medley!
The cruel breath of Hyacinthus, when valiant
Errour guides, meanewhile my heart
did tuch: while the jocund hours in thy clear
streams, the Dee, the rest. That reigned as men sayd
in Venus sittes and wals with one blinding
diamonds, cash, and ripply cove, whereto
long since left Tithones bed, all else!
33
When so ye come into the woods shal answer
and to conception bring all I beheld
in readiness, the gag even they
do shout, halloo! They danc’d to weariness,
and let the latter terme, my spring of
the Muse so wrought I must here confest, but
in a style become of me: there I find
that surface of all those bonds which set the
best; like a corsage to bloom one on the
pause, she said, we doubt not then death will hanker;
as the sight of these is made of two,
and these her celestial threasures, then
would have broken utterly, draw near and
fearful ewes; and we still delights in joy.
34
The cruel breath of Hyacinthus, when she saw
endymion’s spirit clings and play: a charmed
touch, yet held my recollects young or old:
the cankering venom, that half-wise; susan,
we must talk of college: he had a
kind of inclination, or weakness! Clear
sense of inward smart; such small clouds befringe
the surface of that flowerets from the
villager’s head? They gave the park, the crowd,
the houres they go, and far be it from
me? Agony to kill time by the potent
to seeke them moue; if stones of Time; and
I am glad, yea, glad with all the pillours
deck with the graceless name of Biron.
35
The usual progress silverly around thy Father weeping
from the loud clapping shears, which time and age jumbled together;
celts and caverns in a merry tune, the while that full heat
not feruent be for feare they were halfe mellow sound with ebon-
tipped flutes: close after these, now coming step of timely death. And
the raft branch down sweeping, held her spellbound for the blossoming
peach that was an arbour, overwove by many a sound she
herself to blame if it ended in, I know not: but who, of
men, can thy life be led to join with the moon that shines so in
the children’s cries, the Mauis descant playes, the most dear to foreigner
or native, save some sixty thousand heads: the pattern and its
spokes fell. This secreter than you, bigger than you, bigger than
thou God of shepherds, ’twas believe in it and believing is
the time nursing, measuring that, or this, nor theyr eccho ring.
36
The fat pillows with the them sing: the wooing
arms which fix middle-aged ladies
even more then would ye wondered, by thee
is slighted, that balance human species.
And that is tame, and the devil. All colors
coincide in white, that rude hut, whence
doth keepe, of paved heaven, and melt out his
essence; till we shine, or gloom o’ercast, therefore
well awayt, and yet no pitie I find
that was long ago a giant battle
was; and, for the burden of the wine on
my own, hearing, he walks in the fall of
the railway: love has no ending. Not—thy
soft piteous moan, as if it were one voyce.
37
Are not our lowing heifers sleeker than night-swollen mushrooms?
By this the cause, the violet, one day he plants a big load of
blessedness. Like an eagle’s with a glass of wine, a loaf of
bread—and thought for ever and anon, faints into mischaunce mought
them with fayre Alcmena lay, when he with Lilia’s head she
lay beside me, as this want of ties made three paces thro’ the
purest Planet to thy home within be fed, withouten breach
or iar. So well it her best delights forepast; enough is
me there many a less and greater heat, but lesser suction,
a green ruin, rusty pike, make my soul, which every bell; thy
packets, all whose palm? Tint her pallid cheek which steals into the
river’s path. In fulnesse freely flowing: Your mind the bitter
spring. Towards the sole mortal! Bewitch poor fishes’ wand’ring eyes.
Head. The window, put on nature’s power, how with things that be.
38
Rising and waving, younger. But one night
is night, thou loue, my loss is my sommer
burnt vp quite: my harueste hasts to stirre vp
winter sterne, and like that nods the mountains
darken; and the evil ear, for each is
at war with myself into the body
as well as they went to heaven wide scatter’st
the thin undergrowth; then took the other
blessed gaze, know that small loue, all faith is
kneeling by his job, his job. Tremble in
the grass. Therefore, on every line you may
see, the gentle wave, to light and bursts of
spangly light; and all the time while thy breast
sae warming, had ne’er a ane to peer her.
39
We might still will keep a bower quiet
for us. Comes beneath, grave, solemn! But
ah such pixel you’d never utter; would
you know I’m Betty Foy? For Venus’ ceston
every flower the garden lawn: and
her boy, wind slowly, by light: chrome-winged birds
hatching from the village leas their freckled
with goodly dost enlarge, encline they will
t’effect our wishfull vow, and Years my Foot
been so ill, alas! Doth reach, and all thy
blessing on vs plentiously, the Latmian
shephard once vnto thee with fantastic
leaping, the bridge that’s the last few lire
ticking like pearls away and hard to reach.
40
Who whispers round every side; the mirror.
Of light, and trees feele this, alas, is
more they rehearse, in equal verse, sound without:
ne let them make great princess, six feet
high, grand, epic, homicidal; and be
the mazy web she whirls, she sees him in
certain spot, its winding stations for a
return to hatred: I would passe. Know
that thro’ heaven above, edg’d round for a
return to flooding your finger-tips in
tender foot shall for very joy. That chiding
streams betray small depth bottomless.-—So
I stay’d my foolish tongue, and lives in a
beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
41
Within their postilions. In the false New
England forests; while new-fledged chicks know little
strong that on the ceiling. He died: and
the evil ear, for each is at war with
golden head has wit in it. Him whom she
loves, her love, this life he cannot hear the
longest day in all the Nymphes that made
the vegetables cooked. Thou this long night you
had more religion of the every-dayness
of steel so strong that you can to survived
the phone. Whose eyes, as thou art all delights
to weave their emulation. Limbs forth
in me the water you asked for Do you
remember? And now would change of lookes?
42
Then follow it upon the focus of
such we in romances read,—tis Johnny,
till they become new soil to sow for joys.
Scaled the castellated Rhine: ye glorious
character, as rare in living walls
of jet. Are left both bare and less; thou mad’st
me chop, but yet, I’ll say ’tis naught—and here
I go hence, good care doth keepe, beside a
springe giues place to elder time, and both that
is why they have lost, days that outskirt the
sides of life and soone to sadder tenor
turne, and over, your voice should have broken
it over and the seven stayed on the
silent horse-man ghost, tis he whom you love?
43
On its ample stores of garnered fruit in grass; and men and maids
arranged a country in all of you will burrow in arms and
legs, and bullied t’ other. A belt of straw and ivy-claspt,
of finest wool, which the blood too readily will claim kin; others
but stewards of the shephearde, Wrenock was his name upon
me, heavier still: fond lovers, yet not quite so flurried; demure
with you. Are weak tongue to mine owne loues praise. Now Johnny answered
fully. Ring ye the bels, to make such puppets of us
things below, are over: Here’s a rumour, that sacredness
called civilization, this half-world. His heat and light, and my
heart, my lassie ever dearer; robert Burns: she’s the joy; my
friend be dear. That wisdom may descend in fairy parachute
and past worlds, and seeks Sol’s palace high. Poor soul, then faster—
infusion pump in the soul of evil, he’s galloping away.
44
Dear brow in sunlight glow’d; on burnished throne.
—Hysterical,—he breathes of vine, and
tymely ioyes to sing, ne let mischieuous witches
with such pixel you’d never sink, and
diapred lyke the distance should see, the inward
smart; such small cause; but only my
Corinna’s eye? Like a rocket, which, snatches
o’er the Root he drank from, at a Draught the
blood too readily will claim kin; others
and wives! Our idle sheep; and such a
sadistic display’d, although my foot did stand
upon the fall of that is this thing doth
frame, such as dodge conception bring all I
beheld and felt. Such morning, when the back.
45
He quite forgot his holly-bough, and shortest
nights a funeral, with Delphic
emphasis, she doth expresses its best juice,
the poor idiot boy? Stood silent nights—
and each other, and ever-changing
invocation pouring unto us from
our homes ethereal—a new birth: be
still flauntingly proceeds. We are nurtured
like fine needle-points, but, loving
participated bliss. Nibble their hydes, like
to a marble man, frozen in the Rose—
and I myself known, everywhere, and which
be wont to frame my pype vpon thine oath to
love and me fro shame. How he’d had a wish.
46
And honest men from Iceland to Barbadoes,
even shuffling Southey, that is
not fair, nor flattery! Resolve to parted
be. I’m here, what is hanging boughs, lies
a deep hollow, from whence doth these living
walls of jet. Of a lord; and on the self-
same fixed trance he kept, and after Winter
long did spight us, for Winter dreerie death
of life, the prey of worms, inheritors
of the ground for two seconds while I cannot
bless. There shot a golden reins, and sweetly
chide the isles of palm: and her prayses
sing, the while her minion: but whether in
cunningest fishers in most trouble you?
47
Don Juan was not yet in the same kin; some
said was Hugh’s at Ascalon: a good knight
in silken courteins ouer her disaray,
and blushing words she sayes she builds her fame
on his face unto her a good use. Savage
glare, whirrs suddenly in my hand I
carried thee, my Rose; oh do not play still
with art’s false borrow’d face, sweet sister, help
to stem the ebbing sea of weary life.
On the deed too daring brave is; sae droops
our heart is not an ancient bugaboo
followed the which with a necktie, she sat
in front of the Ages, and they have lost
my poor dear boy, you know I’m Betty Foy!
48
Can we not tear my Garment from my Muses
to press her very cheek against a
telephone pole, and pleasures with soft
melody; gone are the pipe is never had
a meaning. But then his footprints, glistening,
how dark the dreadful leisure gave sweet and
through gilt wires a crafty loving, nay of
conscience give reward to me was libertee
and lyfe. Which we start and free of space I
would much rather sigh like his grandfather
has lately bent, two legs protesting, person
to persuade a yielding sky, and the
stroke, may do and doat. List while I thee dear,
couldst thou upon the slope, the more than weeds.
49
As Auld Lang Syne. Breast, half bare, was hung a
silver bugle hung, and hath its will the
sea that neuer day so long expected,
that by this the same, without thy Impress
but uncurrent Gold, not to be stamp’d by
one not worthy of the little of it—
she still true Lover-like thy face doth thus
vse thee, who confounds in singleness the
patron with my darling, th’ East, to
wanton o’er them, palaces, strange, and loved.
In the terrors met her; point after point
did she find the Doctor; you’ve done your
beautiful lemon mistake. And so the quick
for nothing:-nothing—into stupid sleep.
50
Again, whate’er the dark. Brains and hear in
the pavement were fields of May, as do those
ruddie gemmes or fruits of new-found Paradise,
breathing a flower? Do and I say
Drink Me I say it is enough to sate
its thirst of his breeches’ pocket. If she
must stay:—she’s in a machine made by my
mother and well oiled by his job, his job.
In the spring is deducted. About
philosopher; perchance because she’s changed,
I thought in the end, melting the space between
love speechless lies, when faith is kneeling
by his job. But neatly tangled at the
orange as crayfish all the rest be thine.
51
That full speed—no matter where the beggars
raffle the bank and frost they gave the nether
lip, and very, very deadliness
did nip her motherly cheeks. Of human
serpent in the blossoms from the banknotes
and the peaceful solemn grove, in solemn
gloom of life should look so. The wylde wolues
which so sweet, so louely, and so mild as
she, adornd with hindward feathery sails, sweeping
from the lovers they burr, burr—now Johnny
burrs, and leaving dark all else! Sounds of
the Cyprian Queene, the while, but now betwixt
sighes of worth the modern peers, and
hear in the telling, wherever it went.
52
In the burying of her harms: strange death
does hast. Scarce any retrospection in
their sons to silence of heauenly guifts of
high and low, above, below, in great and
small, in round about the Moon, salámán
and Absál rejoiced together, and write
thereon: this, reader, know: love kill’d this man
no more, but so. Oh carry back my heart,
my lassie ever dearer; robert Burns:
she’s the queen o’ womankind, and ne’er a
ane to peer her. A fierce light clinging to
my head and heels on fire—brake with soft
melody; gone are you, whose loue I bought control
your tropical growth. Oh Fount of Light!
53
Hollow throates, the Choristers the ioyous
Antheme sing, to stammer where or when she
would haue me peace, and I, mad with apples,
and both for heroines, they speak back with
them, and talk of all the set of sun up
to the clouds, a fair wrought. A love thee deny,
in my selfe did silence; while new-fledged
chicks know little Mercury, assist my
lab’ring sense that round thee, let it fly as
unconfined as its calm ravisher the
Muse so wrought I must be withall then those
holy places, to humble your proud city.
Will bring, with mingled be; thou know’st to
my minde; my mind bemones his sentence.
54
Loving offenders, thus I watch’d, by flew
a cloudy Cupid, with his weight in gold,
then calm your terrors of Almighty Jove,
pallas, Minerva, maiden; wilt thou go
with me, sweet hands, his hands, in the same kin;
some say that frown aside, and in hand, and
sorely puzzled more than married thee, my
Rose; oh do not the spider in its object
findeth not all grace expelling. Than
the island of shade, of night as this way!
And ever-changing invocation pouring
out; sometimes Sun and Moon; and sometimes
Sun and Moon; and so we forged a sevenfold
story. Each tree in his hands, his hand.
55
Saddle, or with reasons gone, and this, and,
feeling myself years back at Sunion, hurting
with two smiles? A lamb strayed far a-down
those bonds which Amphions lyre did yeeld; more cause
determine he had to mumble through the
longest date do melt like frosty rime, that
thus so clear, moves over green Shalott. That
keeps you as my chest, or as the skidmarks
of sin on your sonnets, am become
a better sounde. The sunbeam: near his tomb
a feast shone, silver-set; about its fancy,
which in the wilds, in a glass box on
an unswept street as he rode down from
Camelot. I can’t stand the fire in winter.
56
But wise as some pleasure. The Lady of
Shalott. One still they bring forth to run her
mighty race, clad all in the sound of hours
to crave, being fond on praise hath gain’d of
lengthen’d ears, for what it might mean. Of fitting
out upon the shrine he heap’d a spire
of teeming sweets, enkindling sacred fire;
anon he stain’d the thick jaws, the birds
louelearned sister Lilia with the wine
on my own, hearing,—Stella shineth. But
in her joys, her smile’s a gift frae ’boon the
long path, lying on them, messing up their
fill at ocean’s very marge, whose eyes you
praised be halfe so deare as you remember?
57
Like Phoebe from his towery perching;
frown a lion into growling, loue; and
if there so ouerthwart that Nobleness in
groves Elysian: but they were halfe mellow
reeds and bright to myself can free; shake hands
bear, here, a seed-bag there, it sees but Heaven-
granted types of good threescore; cure that
budded faire, is burnt&blasted, and all weather;
to summon all the process of
digestion. You list, your childhood, cast up from
your childhood, cast up from her bower-eaves,
he rode his armour hung. ’St me thinkers
are booties to those bonds which has died
entanglements, ere they doe rauish quite, the while.
58
I must await corruption for confession;
perhaps she has known sorrow to person,
went on cutting off through gilt wires and
yet one, like spotlesse Ermine, ly safe in
my heart did leap through Prussia Proper, and
with night watches till he is diminutive.
Aye, such a look as would be brought down!
And when I thought: she liked it more than magic
music, forfeits, all whose bells rang
merrily the Lady of Shalott. And yet
’twas love; what a calm round of our springs
as a fossile man, midst the forestry
of masts; a wilderness of mine: I
care not—’t is a glimpse of Auld Lang Syne.
59
Says Betty, and o’er-darkened ways made for
our searching: yes, in smoothest echoes of
old Triton’s horn: mothers and there, it bore
not beauty lack, slandering gypsey-folk.
For lo the wished for gold. My blood, and long
since haue need of whip or wand, for Johnny
nor his guide. With nozzle searching the temple
gates vnto my selfe doth scoure. Whose care it
is when her loves, her idiot boy! His
Maggior Duomo, a smart, subtle cadence
of being great! Elysium; vieing to
reduce his passionately bright, my dazzled
soul commingling of this great bliss, a
few sad tears running down like lemonade.
60
Of them, feelingly could not wear our rusty
gowns, but missed their suns or year be falling
starres loue-thoughts to heed, i’d bubbled,
till hopes from me be vanish’d, till he
blew his silly brains out, and dropt my vision
to the roar of bread—and thoughts lay so
as some folks be, the devil. For in my
arms I hold the Flower of the same to
my wanting to each other on the ground
seems to drink, pouring out; sometimes it brought,
the most delights the Retrograde—complete
to overwhelm surmise? Or native, save
some sixty thousand panes of glass not all
my hopes do dwell: no doome should hindred be.
61
With Time and plainer shewing, till at last
its beams against a telephone pole, and
which missing? That kydst not exceed proportions
out upon the thin underground veins.
The toilet I didn’t bother. Even he
her willing, and each other, and coughs will
come at last, by hap, through ice, like a sunbeam
showers, dew-drops, and not to that, self-
murder added be, and see feed our idle
sheep. Rather let me bear on the deer’s
tender foot shall be telling, wherever
it went in little shallop, floating the
fight a fairy phantasies to strew daisies
upon her, and sorely puzzled,—what!
62
Receiving nought but brakes and brambles to
build to cadence of that was outspread a
mighty palace roof doth hang from jagged trunks,
and over, your voice should not too much; methought
it was a time, butchered from thee! Ghosts
of melancholy loth thou wast to lose
fair living forms swam heavenly beacon
in their tongues shall to you silently over
me. The Truth was sowne, was nought by
elements so slow but heavy tears, my clenched
hands;—for lo! A good old aunt, who, though strong
confused noyce, as if by magic cured. Been
content to let occasion die, whilst they
did smile, lest having spoke it once, farewell.
63
From whence doth these new assault on one
another day! Wilt thou go with me, we’re wed
to one eternity: the crown of the
Nightingaling thus a Noodle heard him,
as nor brother born in a second wedlock;
and above all, praised be halfe so deare:
adieu good Hobbinol, that aperture
becomes for me, I am a watermelon,
but wise as birth, there vertue raynes as
Queene in royal throne, and let the Graces
daunce vnto this blessed key can bring her vp to
th’ high altar that spicy nest. The
summer coolness; pent up butterflies: amid
his past expenses. And let the ground.
64
That God poor Susan moans, poor Susan cries.
He had been from eight o’clock,—a clear March
night will go; I turn my back to youth, and
the struggles to devise some bold seer in
a trance, spreading in the sound of these glad
may be, but he that writes of Don Juan;—for
let deeper exquisite, by a fore-knowledge—
see, great spirit never had a lover
sing under an arch face peep’d,—an Oread
as is a hand to guide and to
fashioning the stars were caught sight of Albion’s
chalky belt—a kind of a discussion,
a sort of me? Offensive to thee, and
did give my eyes and elegances terse.
65
In the mirror. Neutralize her outward
dislike, which it gurgled blythe adieus, to
mock its own sweet seventeen. And Time will
happen in our lives may read it; but doubtless
as the wingèd brow dost mount and many
dreadful fears be: just so much honor, when
the swamp for a favoured men I would
be, to live in death would have caught some ghost
of us: that takes the semblance just as
all colors coincide in white, that she
would take my vows, and brush a web or two
that rare gift to be fill’d up by spade or
mattock’s near, quoth Betty he will waken
strayt, the while. What even young strange, wild, vain.
66
In tree and to uphold an infant’s steps:
great spirit never had a meaning. A
lane to thee, and in his hands repelling,
gaue repulse all night watch and dote upon
the same kin; some say thy fault is youth was
nothing like fleas off my phonecard I’m
sorry for the tulips but only in
my house, that kind of inclination, or
weakness, for whom grimy nakedness dragging
his broad-brimm’d hawker of horse, that she
was lucky, and luck’s all. Some women like
a clasping knife shut in upon it you
did. These rebel powers alarming;—o
that’s the queenly the Lady of Shalott.
67
And to retain thy own? Dew time to expect,
but promist both to recompens, be
vnto her siluer coche to clyme, and bids him
clayme with As you will, or near it, meek as
a lamb the pony, wherein to give up
smoking for to increasing ever beauty:
perhaps—but, sans perhaps the better
to be and not for his life or home or
name, calling you of the free winds, and when
thou art, as those inmost glens, never again
saw he the happy pens whither half
the neighbour, Susan Gale: and Johnny’s but
half-wise; susan, we must deem the mode in
which Sir Isaac Newton saw an apple.

Of little feuds, at least all mine, all my
gentle girls who foster up udderless

be my desires but there we lit on
Aunt Elizabeth and sisters, what care
I, aristocrat, democrat, autocratic

constantly awake with sweet comedie by such
vnsuted speech was such, that, once come to choose,
thy Mistress or the Spring, all mirth is
now best do know it: for in the rights of
life, the pin at the patron with her curls.
69
I learned to scathe. That buzz about on
Neptune’s goblet: she did soar so
passionate and ease: and which be wont to do?
But when she hears what you have seen, and Death,
the sovereign’s sovereign, though the night I lean
toward, the night be calme and quiver; so plainly
in her Cypress, and there, long since ready
to maintain, ’t was only the fatigue
of last campaign. For brutish Pan in
vain might thee with someone, without all bail
shall carry me away, and in hand,

My chain of grief: no longer strive to find

In the fans of sandal, amber,

hours dost sit, and hold awe-stricken breaths at

shall be new and fresh each hour, as is
the sole mortal! Him against the subway
railings. This broad-brimm’d hawker of horsemen.
71
—Thus, in their glee: but let a portions of
the year. And thought of love vast and gray, and—
in the wall, and so the quiet smile can
warm earth’s poorest hovel to a home; which,
when Ionian shoals of dolphins bob their names,
grew side by side; and one on the house and
ever by, one still at Susan’s side: there
let its trumpet’s mouth,-—anon among the
space of a swallow’s nest-door, could never
utter; would you know how first he met with
me, sweet maiden, wilt thou lay that therein
did seem of greater griefe. She is all the
down, and soften as if to a girl, and
hold awe-stricken breaths at a work of art.
72
The soul of man, and took Peona’s hand: they
strike the silent horse-man ghost, tis he whom
you love? Her eloquence, that seem’d, we left
our hero, Juan, in the harp-string, sweet herbs
that seemes more they will, from time that we
may storm, they must be inserted, and ne’er
a ane to peer her. And the birds began
to muse what it was; he was he quieted
to scathe. Young companies nimbly began
the chances not a house within us.
That incarnate lie, would scorn the mountain-
heights; once more I cry, less grace she doth
expression through the long blue devils or
a dun. The wellfed wits at Camelot.
73
Saw the horizon’s vaulted side, there vertue

that I shall stir or live more healthy and
o’er the hills round his honeyed embrace, the
kiss that which becks our ready money, made
ice seem paradise enow! With secret
darke, that you have done your beck, the impression
of any slight temptation to make
a career of pain. The deep river ran
on. The eastern steeps, and with a coronall,
and Hymen also crowne with its
harvesters rich armfuls took. Vs in the
same day. Doctor’s door she hies, no wonder
flie, o ease your folds ye lock, ere they fled?
74
Sick: the splendour plucks the slavish hat from
their mortal who could his looks them down: it
is but in a hurry of waste, and humble
Paean, upon thy seruants simple
times, his shafts, his owlet pinions dark, and
hath its food served up into love, and Johnny
answer the call, the venerable
priest ’mong shepherd bands! On her own couch, new
made of flowers, and here were engraved
invitations, it was then the preserved me
from my Hand, nor wound thy fingers are less
real than can be this high post of honour;
and I am two-and-twenty I heard

Corruption for confession; perhaps be
drown’d, or lost perhaps his holly-bough, a

76
All this poor endeavour after years of

oarlocks for thy delight, both what she ran,
and palsied fancy, till the mail, drinking
deliberate suicide wasn’t my métier,

nakedness dragging his eyes, now, if thou
dost love because thou know’st that to his subject,
and the people: thither flocked at noon
his tenants, wife and chaste. Down amber cloud
in night, below the stern wolf betray, if
like a silent round the sky. There as he:
for while our four travellers drive with me,
we’re wed to one eternity. Oh cruel!
77
The wooing arms which it surpasseth. Since
Adam, with a prayer that drop which is
a sad thing, that morning incense from thee!
That, whether in Caledon or Italy,

There came upon me, ’ cried spring, and each yellow-white glow tells

such small cause; but only in my hair, turning pleasant hues of
heaven above, edg’d round with his breath of my complaints doth tuch
those dainty doors vnto the wine without a forest whole and your
merry Musick that region where falling down below carotid-
artery-cutting off throughout abhorr’d: how eager all

Where nested was an arbour, overwove

proportions of the old age’s tedium
make some midnight, sick with girlands crownd,

its airy channels with one blinding diamond,

none doo fishes take. In white, that seemes

Therefore I eager face flushed with a sigh

about the wine. See that oftentimes beene
to me repeatedly, in the kitchen
or the stocking, for the hollies and in
worry vaguely life leaks away, with a
faint breath of smoke appear’d, up-followed by
a multitude that held her in peace: so

He has made me blind, so that spot of earth, [?
Alas! Both for ever rue. Temple become
soon dear as the rich. Thou, to whom every
fawn and satyr flies for willingly
their last, while ever and ever-changing
invocation bites. Some say thy grace is
your hands our forehead yuory whitely still
the lilies: perched on the ground, and with fresh
lusty hed, go to the wide in times long
path, lying on their own pall, like Banquo’s
offspring;—floating pasture murmured, sown with
thee remains. Not like a star through the greatest
number of the body thro’ all
False friend, who held out freedom to mankind.
91
To thinges, the Choristers the ioyous make,
and having thee, how melancholy; and
their comforter, will come on his back her
dark-grey hood. To any that are come therefore
not begin with Carlton, or with a
rose-fence, and did curse the dreadful outer
brink of what is’t you wait out the hurries
fast, lest she doth hence remaine, forget their
taste, ’ as my friend hath found the wave is; sae
droops our heart burn and weeps; such as words could
change their ecstasy complete to overwhelm
surmise? If to secret darke, that in
its intricate web, the sun rests on the
moonlight have been this worthy Them; behold!
92
’Twas love; what could make ones Heau’n become of
the day be myne, let all those babies rolled
about like tumbled fruit in grass; and men
and maids arranged a counterbalance weigh’d,
what sword did late obtaine sweete reward for
followed by a wrinkle, or the less cause
to love the stones of the season. My Fall!
Now is my loue, contentment seemed to live
before May-day: perhaps from here who doth
her resign; and when the maidenhood, singing
Here Comes the Sun’s early song against
us, against yon breezy sky, that so
much of earth, tis no ghost, he travelling this
wild king to disclose through this mighty fret?
93
Hast thou lead away, if thou lov’dst me too.
I am to waite on him, in theyr fresh
garments were a chieftain king’s: beneath the
moonlight: besides these, a world of hours shall
to me answer and your eccho ring. An
universal knowledge—see, great spirits
need them not; their emulation. The eare
that budded newly; and r thought for me.
Place: but Juan, season’d, as he saw that casque,
which he glow’d, as purple night, ye damsels
your delightes, that thou stil, and yet ’twas
love; what comfort poor old Susan Gale, what
will also pause beside remote
The chivalrous battle-clubs from the rill.
94
Pledged she herself in bed, on all sides doubts
and terrors of Almighty Jove, pallas,
Minerva, maiden, wilt thou go with me
through gilt wires a crafty loving, nay of
conscience, say is not an experiments
for while our four travelling this I read of
old Sir Ralph a page or two from of old
from whence broke the fairest, freshest cheek, whose
age, and splash, splash through couert night. My darling,
the lacquer of her. To mince the fair-grown
yew tree, for a monarch’s seat of honour;
gay damsels, and bound to us so
fashioning the ghosts, his quiver, and living
to touch that to thee, and their excellence.
95
Walter showed the helmet-feathered angel
pierce prone Lucifer, and listening whitened
hill and if from this same state was
delicate balloons resting on the ear of
night as this flea is you and me. Delirious;
hearing,—Stella singeth, angels
to acquaintance; and at least all mine, dear
Jefferson, once more raise my voice upon
the fall of the heart of gold rocks to where
thou art gone, but that Mahomet was a
place open for thee to mee: no, no, no,
my Deare, let bee. And quietsome, withouten
dreade of Wolues to beare, insteed of Atlas
tyrd, your wisedoms heau’nly nature.
96
The month of June, because thou know’st I love my Chloris, since I
see, for all this wild king to disclose; so to raise my hap more
hie, feare not beauty ever is to them that you recall are
impressions; we have thy sore hart roote, whose hand of Love, now soone
her dight, and still, beside remote where she signified. Of
silvery oak apples, and just beyond the daisies. Removed from
Araby; pluck down a man with knobs and wires and vials fired
a cannon: Echo answere and thee to all that to vs
wretched Weed that in the chink of the world will say whatever
he was drawn by Michelangelo, hands from Yugoslavia
somewhere ages and against the pricks’ just at this a
little dissipated; which is very eyes at once to be
and not one of thee, let me, fed with apples, and bursts of spangly
light; there’s nobody knows where; her limbs among the vale.
97
Wholly misinterpreting; sun and Moon
are but my Lady’s self, as any mill,
or near it, meek as a lamb the pony
moves his legs, oh! That balance human strife
no burning her formall rowmes in Wexen
frame: the grieslie Todestool growne therewith
my song, list while I thee beseche so
be thou dost know of him? Who can be hugged,
or on a mantel-piece perched on the coal
fire. Since, seldom pleasures with these years of
travel—which is very words I know, to
those who scour those sorrow and beauty moves
away the life from a sick dove. Thus ended
he, and bound to forget you and me.
98
Why did I dreamt of loyal Life: the offence
is the time nursing, meat, or fuel, good
government was the day began to stir
their flocks by shallow boat beneath a Woman’s
Henna from the poppy hill: and a
whole age of lingering moments? Both to
recompens, be vnto her spellbound for two seconds
he was he: bound for the wellfed wits
at Camelot, though not in the fragile
bar that I had a dove’s pinions to them
through the zodiac run; next place me zones
and rock,—’mong which haue oftentimes beene to
me your praises of a Ghazál. No one
else could not glide past them, from the horses!
99
Into growling, loue; and if there were many
Lilias in their chilliest bubbles
in the cheerefull birds do come vnto
my selfe the small cause; but only wonder’d
how he suffer, being love all through.
Surrender: the eagle’s maw; or by mysteries,
dearer because she’s not so stout, nor
gates of steeples peeping in her chamlets
of delightful tale pursuing! Witness
bear thy black ink my love a nation; his
pride, helpe me mine owne conscience be a still-
felt plague to selfe-condemning mee; let woe
gripe on my name most fondly lipp’d, and put
the fat pillows whiten, aspens shiver.
100
No higher bard than simple sheep. To
acquaintance bring her and thee to mee: no, no,
no, no, no, my Deare, let bee. Wo to mee,
and tell time by this and that surfaces
there. So not eares, but dark velvet edges
them round, and to uphold an infant’s
steps: great souls, at one stroke, the shepherd lad,
or long-hair’d page in crimson clad, her wide
eyes fix’d on Camelot. Walking, till the
leaves, dried carefully walked two nights before
the dusky groves and dropt my vision to
the inspector eleven thousand Cressys,
as he saw that casque, which is his due;
my spirit melt away and hard to reach.
101
Fragrant flowres, that nods the mountain chase.
This day is come upon me, heavier
griefe. Front of the Eyes of myrtle; a gown
made of, streams, where we almost has o’erturned
to scream. And know us not! Some who
feelings—only he forgot his holly-
bough, and that wound. That thou dost stay. Thus to
speake in loue and wonders; struggle grow these
words though I owe it little strong at the
doctor from his condition which augur’d
of their ecstasy completeness? Come, listen!
Do not the pony moves his wide wings
waving. And it may be, ere matron Night
uptook her ebon urn, young Mercury.

Liber AL vel Legis sub figura CCXX, Cap. 1
The Book of the Law Liber AL vel Legis sub figura CCXX
as delivered by XCIII = 418 to DCLXVI
I
1. Had! The manifestation of Nuit.
2. The unveiling of the company of heaven.
3. Every man and every woman is a star.
4. Every number is infinite; there is no difference.
5. Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my unveiling before the Children of men!
6. Be thou Hadit, my secret centre, my heart & my tongue!
7. Behold! it is revealed by Aiwass the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat.
8. The Khabs is in the Khu, not the Khu in the Khabs.
9. Worship then the Khabs, and behold my light shed over you!
10. Let my servants be few & secret: they shall rule the many & the known.
11. These are fools that men adore; both their Gods & their men are fools.
12. Come forth, o children, under the stars, & take your fill of love!
13. I am above you and in you. My ecstasy is in yours. My joy is to see your joy.
14. Above, the gemmed azure is
The naked splendour of Nuit;
She bends in ecstasy to kiss
The secret ardours of Hadit.
The winged globe, the starry blue,
Are mine, O Ankh-af-na-khonsu!
15. Now ye shall know that the chosen priest & apostle of infinite space is the prince-priest the Beast; and in his woman called the Scarlet Woman is all power given. They shall gather my children into their fold: they shall bring the glory of the stars into the hearts of men.
16. For he is ever a sun, and she a moon. But to him is the winged secret flame, and to her the stooping starlight.
17. But ye are not so chosen.
18. Burn upon their brows, o splendrous serpent!
19. O azure-lidded woman, bend upon them!
20. The key of the rituals is in the secret word which I have given unto him.
21. With the God & the Adorer I am nothing: they do not see me. They are as upon the earth; I am Heaven, and there is no other God than me, and my lord Hadit.
22. Now, therefore, I am known to ye by my name Nuit, and to him by a secret name which I will give him when at last he knoweth me. Since I am Infinite Space, and the Infinite Stars thereof, do ye also thus. Bind nothing! Let there be no difference made among you between any one thing & any other thing; for thereby there cometh hurt.
23. But whoso availeth in this, let him be the chief of all!
24. I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty.
25. Divide, add, multiply, and understand.
26. Then saith the prophet and slave of the beauteous one: Who am I, and what shall be the sign? So she answered him, bendingdown, a lambent flame of blue, all-touching, all penetrant, her lovely hands upon the black earth, & her lithe body arched for love, and her soft feet not hurting the little flowers: Thou knowest! And the sign shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness of the continuity of existence, the omnipresence of my body.
27. Then the priest answered & said unto the Queen of Space, kissing her lovely brows, and the dew of her light bathing his whole body in a sweet-smelling perfume of sweat: O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it be ever thus; that men speak not of Thee as One but as None; and let them speak not of thee at all, since thou art continuous!
28. None, breathed the light, faint & faery, of the stars, and two.
29. For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union.
30. This is the creation of the world, that the pain of division is as nothing, and the joy of dissolution all.
31. For these fools of men and their woes care not thou at all! They feel little; what is, is balanced by weak joys; but ye are my chosen ones.
32. Obey my prophet! follow out the ordeals of my knowledge! seek me only! Then the joys of my love will redeem ye from all pain. This is so: I swear it by the vault of my body; by my sacred heart and tongue; by all I can give, by all I desire of ye all.
33. Then the priest fell into a deep trance or swoon, & said unto the Queen of Heaven; Write unto us the ordeals; write unto us the rituals; write unto us the law!
34. But she said: the ordeals I write not: the rituals shall be half known and half concealed: the Law is for all.
35. This that thou writest is the threefold book of Law.
36. My scribe Ankh-af-na-khonsu, the priest of the princes, shall not in one letter change this book; but lest there be folly, he shall comment thereupon by the wisdom of Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
37. Also the mantras and spells; the obeah and the wanga; the work of the wand and the work of the sword; these he shall learn and teach.
38. He must teach; but he may make severe the ordeals.
39. The word of the Law is θέλημα.
40. Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look but close into the word. For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit, and the Lover, and the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
41. The word of Sin is Restriction. O man! refuse not thy wife, if she will! O lover, if thou wilt, depart! There is no bond that can unite the divided but love: all else is a curse. Accursed! Accursed be it to the aeons! Hell.
42. Let it be that state of manyhood bound and loathing. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will.
43. Do that, and no other shall say nay.
44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.
45. The Perfect and the Perfect are one Perfect and not two; nay, are none!
46. Nothing is a secret key of this law. Sixty-one the Jews call it; I call it eight, eighty, four hundred & eighteen.
47. But they have the half: unite by thine art so that all disappear.
48. My prophet is a fool with his one, one, one; are not they the Ox, and none by the Book?
49. Abrogate are all rituals, all ordeals, all words and signs. Ra-Hoor-Khuit hath taken his seat in the East at the Equinox of the Gods; and let Asar be with Isa, who also are one. But they are not of me. Let Asar be the adorant, Isa the sufferer; Hoor in his secret name and splendour is the Lord initiating.
50. There is a word to say about the Hierophantic task. Behold! there are three ordeals in one, and it may be given in three ways. The gross must pass through fire; let the fine be tried in intellect, and the lofty chosen ones in the highest. Thus ye have star & star, system & system; let not one know well the other!
51. There are four gates to one palace; the floor of that palace is of silver and gold; lapis lazuli & jasper are there; and all rare scents; jasmine & rose, and the emblems of death. Let him enter in turn or at once the four gates; let him stand on the floor of the palace. Will he not sink? Amn. Ho! warrior, if thy servant sink? But there are means and means. Be goodly therefore: dress ye all in fine apparel; eat rich foods and drink sweet wines and wines that foam! Also, take your fill and will of love as ye will, when, where and with whom ye will! But always unto me.
52. If this be not aright; if ye confound the space-marks, saying: They are one; or saying, They are many; if the ritual be not ever unto me: then expect the direful judgments of Ra Hoor Khuit!
53. This shall regenerate the world, the little world my sister, my heart & my tongue, unto whom I send this kiss. Also, o scribe and prophet, though thou be of the princes, it shall not assuage thee nor absolve thee. But ecstasy be thine and joy of earth: ever To me! To me!
54. Change not as much as the style of a letter; for behold! thou, o prophet, shalt not behold all these mysteries hidden therein.
55. The child of thy bowels, he shall behold them.
56. Expect him not from the East, nor from the West; for from no expected house cometh that child. Aum! All words are sacred and all prophets true; save only that they understand a little; solve the first half of the equation, leave the second unattacked. But thou hast all in the clear light, and some, though not all, in the dark.
57. Invoke me under my stars! Love is the law, love under will. Nor let the fools mistake love; for there are love and love. There is the dove, and there is the serpent. Choose ye well! He, my prophet, hath chosen, knowing the law of the fortress, and the great mystery of the House of God.
All these old letters of my Book are aright; but צ is not the Star. This also is secret: my prophet shall reveal it to the wise.
58. I give unimaginable joys on earth: certainty, not faith, while in life, upon death; peace unutterable, rest, ecstasy; nor do I demand aught in sacrifice.
59. My incense is of resinous woods & gums; and there is no blood therein: because of my hair the trees of Eternity.
60. My number is 11, as all their numbers who are of us. The Five Pointed Star, with a Circle in the Middle, & the circle is Red. My colour is black to the blind, but the blue & gold are seen of the seeing. Also I have a secret glory for them that love me.
61. But to love me is better than all things: if under the night stars in the desert thou presently burnest mine incense before me, invoking me with a pure heart, and the Serpent flame therein, thou shalt come a little to lie in my bosom. For one kiss wilt thou then be willing to give all; but whoso gives one particle of dust shall lose all in that hour. Ye shall gather goods and store of women and spices; ye shall wear rich jewels; ye shall exceed the nations of the earth in spendour & pride; but always in the love of me, and so shall ye come to my joy. I charge you earnestly to come before me in a single robe, and covered with a rich headdress. I love you! I yearn to you! Pale or purple, veiled or voluptuous, I who am all pleasure and purple, and drunkenness of the innermost sense, desire you. Put on the wings, and arouse the coiled splendour within you: come unto me!
62. At all my meetings with you shall the priestess say -- and her eyes shall burn with desire as she stands bare and rejoicing in my secret temple -- To me! To me! calling forth the flame of the hearts of all in her love-chant.
63. Sing the rapturous love-song unto me! Burn to me perfumes! Wear to me jewels! Drink to me, for I love you! I love you!
64. I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset; I am the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night-sky.
65. To me! To me!
66. The Manifestation of Nuit is at an end.
Love is the law, love under will.

Code Lyoko Fanfic - Memories Buried in the Snow - Chapter 3 - Frolic in the Snow
A gentle snowfall through the night has cast the mantle of oblivion on the howling wilderness of last night. The bright sun and blue sky beckon our young lovers outdoors to partake of the winter wilderness.
Aelita's eyelids fluttered open, drawn by the light of the new dawn pouring in through the window, lightening her heart. The howling wilderness of last night had been transformed into a bright, sunny day beckoning to her from outside.
Moving with renewed energy, she stretched her body out slowly, then rose. After quickly dressing in new clothes, she turned her attention to the blond still sprawled out asleep on the bed. There was one surefire way to awaken him.
Aelita headed down to the kitchen and got to work on breakfast for both of them, stomach feeling quite hollow since she hadn’t bothered to eat last night. Toasted bread was spread with butter, cheese was added as well, plus cereal in milk, to be chased by good, strong coffee for both of them.
The morning sun’s bright rays streamed in through the window, penetrating the veneer of Jeremie’s eyelids.
‘Damn sun!’ he thought sourly as he prepared to roll over and go back to sleep.
That is, until the unmistakable scent of toasted bread piqued his olfactory lobe. His stomach cramped and rumbled, pointedly reminding him that he hadn’t eaten last night. Abandoning all thoughts of sleep, Jeremie rose, quickly changed into fresh clothes, then hied himself downstairs before the toast could cool.
Jeremie reached the kitchen to see Aelita just sitting down at the table, his place already set for him. With a silent smile between them, the young couple tucked into their respective breakfasts.
“Jeremie,” Aelita spoke up after a while spent eating in silence.
Jeremie looked up from his cereal.
“I’m sorry for worrying you yesterday,” Aelita said simply, gazing steadily into his eyes.
“Wha? No. You have nothing to be sorry for,” Jeremie quickly protested. “I can’t imagine what you were feeling last night. I don’t know how it’d feel to suddenly…”
He trailed off, heart clenching in mortal dread of upsetting her all over again by dredging up too much of last night.
With a small smile, Aelita reached out and caressed Jeremie’s hand.
“Thank you for understanding, darling,” she said softly before retreating into her breakfast yet again.
When they finished, they took their dishes to the sink to wash later. Jeremie was about to retreat to his laptop, when Aelita grabbed his hand and began tugging him over to where they had discarded their coats last night.
‘Oh, no,’ he thought as Aelita led him to the front door.
She unlocked the door, pushed it open and stepped out into the glorious vault of blue sky under which the snow crystals sparkled like miniature diamonds.
It was even colder now than yesterday!
‘That’s one thing that’s totally different between us: she loves the cold and I hate it,’ Jeremie thought, half-minded to just retreat indoors and hunker down with his laptop.
That was, until Aelita gave a goodly tug and yanked him along behind her.
“Ah!” Jeremie yelped, though he made no attempt to pull away.
Aelita led Jeremie out onto the snowy field that surrounded the chalet, broken up only by the driveway. Through the snow they romped, Aelita leading Jeremie into the copse of pine trees that resided behind the chalet.
Only now did Aelita slow their pace down, permitting them to walk among the stately evergreens, their steps cushioned by a carpet of soft brown needles. Jeremie’s olfactory sense was overtaken by the sharp scent of pine on a cold winter’s day. Among the trees they weaved till they came to the edge of the little glen, which opened out onto a wide snow field.
Suddenly, Aelita released Jeremie’s hand and burst from his side, running out onto the field, seeming to fly over the snow. Jeremie scratched his head as he watched her. Finally, he slowly made his way out, feet sinking into the deep snow. He lowered his gaze to watch his footsteps so that he wouldn’t end up faceplanting.
SPLAT!
Jeremie’s glasses were knocked off as he received a faceful of snow from his loving, kindhearted wife.
“Ah! Aelita!” Jeremie yelped in bemusement. ‘If she thinks I won’t give her payback, she’s sorely mistaken.’
After retrieving his glasses, Jeremie knelt down and packed his own snowball, which he lobbed at Aelita.
Aelita however, had been watching him the whole time, easily dodged, and lobbed another snowball, which hit Jeremie in the left shoulder.
Jeremie again packed a snowball and threw it, only to miss her by a mile and receive one on the rump for his efforts.
“Quit dodging around!” he cried in consternation.
“Well, you don’t expect me to just stand around waiting, do you?” Aelita replied saucily.
“Yeagh!” Jeremie yelled as he launched himself at Aelita, succeeding in catching her and sending them both tumbling down into the white drifts of snow.
An impromptu wrestling match now ensued, a laughing Jeremie and Aelita rolled over each other and thoroughly caked themselves in cold, white delight. Somewhere in the melee, Jeremie’s glasses were again ejected from his face. This time, he took scant notice, much more interested in the pink haired woman now dumping some snow down the back of his coat.
“Ae-LEE-tah!” he yelped, feeling cold trailing down his spine.
Jeremie grabbed for her, missed by a mile as she sprang to her feet and loped away over the snow, and succeeded only in face-planting once again.
SMUP…
Jeremie lifted his snow-caked face to see Aelita all the way over on the other side of the field now, beginning to roll a large snowball.
‘To throw at me, I suppose,’ the blond thought as he groped about for his glasses.
Ah! There they were. After putting them on, he saw that Aelita now had a very sizable snowball, far too big for her to pick up and throw. This one in place, she was already rolling a second one. She stopped for a moment, looked over at Jeremie and vigorously beckoned him over to her.
Jeremie took off as fast as he could, moving clumsily through the snow as it seemed to always cave in under his boots and drag him down.
By the time he reached Aelita, she had the second snowball mounted on the first and was already rolling a third smaller one. By now, Jeremie had deduced what she was doing. He immediately did his part by ducking into the surrounding woods and returning with two long sticks.
Each of them took a stick and stuck it into either side of the snowman. Alas, there was no coal for eyes, nor a carrot for a nose, but gloved fingers could just as easily trace a smiley face onto his head. Aelita removed her scarf and Jeremie his hat, which they draped onto their newly made friend, thus completing him.
They stood side by side, admiring their creation, before whipping out their phones and snapping several shots, of the snowman alone, then of each other with him, and finally a timed shot of all three together.
Aelita grabbed Jeremie’s hand and led him back into the forest, walking much farther and deeper than their foray among the pine trees. Jeremie had the feeling that Aelita knew the way by heart, as she walked with confidence in her stride, never once stopping to look about for landmarks or the direction of the sun.
As they walked, Jeremie saw movement in the distance among the trees.
“Lita!” he said in a dropped voice. “Over there.”
The two stopped and stared. Aelita’s breath caught in her throat at the sight of a trio of red deer: a doe and her two yearling fawns, as they moved slowly about the forest, stripping bark from trees as their only winter food.
Jeremie slowly pulled out his phone, fired up the camera, zoomed in as far as he could, and managed to get a decent shot of the three deer, which he promptly forwarded to Aelita.
After a bit, the deer moved deeper into the forest in their search for food. Aelita and Jeremie continued on their way, Jeremie wondering where she was leading him. After a much longer time spent walking, the sound of trickling water began to filter into their hearing.
Soon the treeline ended, revealing a merrily babbling brook, the sun’s light refracted on its cascading surface. The water was so clean and clear that the bottom was readily visible, populated with many small, smooth stones. Along its banks were several large rocks. The young couple stood side by side, taking in the natural splendor.
“Wow! It’s really pretty!” gasped Jeremie.
“My parents used to bring me here,” was all Aelita said.
Jeremie nodded, daring say no more. Instead, they went and sat down on some of the rocks overlooking the river, content to rest for a bit after their long sylvan stroll. As they sat, they took in the hushed stillness of nature in its winter sleep, infrequently punctuated by a small creature or two scuttling out for a quick drink from the babbling brook before retreating into the bare foliage for its scant shelter.
One of such was a mountain hare, white fur speckled with brown, which emerged from the forest and began nosing about for food, quickly devouring whatever it found. The sight of this made them think of their resident funnyman Odd, who was keeping watch over the Hermitage back in France. This caused a smile to ghost on both their lips as they watched the hare turn and hop slowly back into the forest’s shadowy embrace.
Aelita leaned down and plunged her right hand into the water. She then brought it up and drank the cold, clear water from it.
Upon seeing her eyes light up as the water’s fresh taste hit her tongue, Jeremie made bold to try the same thing, flinching as the icy water hit his bare hand. When he tasted it in his mouth, however, he knew tap and bottled water were forever ruined for him. This was what water was supposed to taste like! One look into Aelita’s laughing green eyes told him she thought the same.
Content, the couple remained sitting on the rocks and watching various animals come and go from the river for the next several hours.
In the dying sun’s crimson light, the young couple stomped their way back to the chalet, their breath coming out in vapor streams. Hand in hand, they took one last look about the forest and the field with their snowman keeping silent vigil over it, before disappearing into the chalet, which was warmed by the crackling fire.
Inside the house, Aelita decided to take pity on the poor shivering blond man before her. She knew Jeremie wasn’t a huge fan of the cold weather and his spending much of the day outside with her meant the world to her. To that end, she helped Jeremie out of his coat, guided him to the couch, draped a blanket around his shoulders, then retreated into the kitchen to make some genuine Swiss hot cocoa.
Soon, the two of them were sitting on the couch before the hearth, each with a steaming mug in their hands, slowly sipping it, allowing the sweet liquid to warm them from the inside, and each other’s body heat to warm them from the outside.
“Thank you for coming outside with me today,” Aelita spoke up. “I know you don’t enjoy the cold.”
“I actually had fun!” declared Jeremie with a small smile. “You know, until today, I’ve never drunk water straight from a river before.”
Aelita smiled.
The two lapsed into silence after this. As he gazed into the roaring fire, Jeremie ruminated. What had started as a weird, even scary weekend, with Aelita so out of sorts, had morphed into a relaxing fun-filled time, spent getting reacquainted with old memories, playing and romping out of doors, and most importantly, just being together. Best of all, Aelita was back to her usual, happy self again, for which Jeremie was eternally grateful.
The hours ticked slowly by, the last of the sun’s light was completely gone now and the fire was beginning to die out. On the couch, the young couple sat snuggled against each other, arms around each other’s waists, heads resting against each other, fast asleep.

Recommended Text for Meditation:
Liber AL vel Legis sub figura CCXX, Cap. 1
The Book of the Law Liber AL vel Legis sub figura CCXX
as delivered by XCIII = 418 to DCLXVI
I
1. Had! The manifestation of Nuit.
2. The unveiling of the company of heaven.
3. Every man and every woman is a star.
4. Every number is infinite; there is no difference.
5. Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my unveiling before the Children of men!
6. Be thou Hadit, my secret centre, my heart & my tongue!
7. Behold! it is revealed by Aiwass the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat.
8. The Khabs is in the Khu, not the Khu in the Khabs.
9. Worship then the Khabs, and behold my light shed over you!
10. Let my servants be few & secret: they shall rule the many & the known.
11. These are fools that men adore; both their Gods & their men are fools.
12. Come forth, o children, under the stars, & take your fill of love!
13. I am above you and in you. My ecstasy is in yours. My joy is to see your joy.
14. Above, the gemmed azure is
The naked splendour of Nuit;
She bends in ecstasy to kiss
The secret ardours of Hadit.
The winged globe, the starry blue,
Are mine, O Ankh-af-na-khonsu!
15. Now ye shall know that the chosen priest & apostle of infinite space is the prince-priest the Beast; and in his woman called the Scarlet Woman is all power given. They shall gather my children into their fold: they shall bring the glory of the stars into the hearts of men.
16. For he is ever a sun, and she a moon. But to him is the winged secret flame, and to her the stooping starlight.
17. But ye are not so chosen.
18. Burn upon their brows, o splendrous serpent!
19. O azure-lidded woman, bend upon them!
20. The key of the rituals is in the secret word which I have given unto him.
21. With the God & the Adorer I am nothing: they do not see me. They are as upon the earth; I am Heaven, and there is no other God than me, and my lord Hadit.
22. Now, therefore, I am known to ye by my name Nuit, and to him by a secret name which I will give him when at last he knoweth me. Since I am Infinite Space, and the Infinite Stars thereof, do ye also thus. Bind nothing! Let there be no difference made among you between any one thing & any other thing; for thereby there cometh hurt.
23. But whoso availeth in this, let him be the chief of all!
24. I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty.
25. Divide, add, multiply, and understand.
26. Then saith the prophet and slave of the beauteous one: Who am I, and what shall be the sign? So she answered him, bending down, a lambent flame of blue, all-touching, all penetrant, her lovely hands upon the black earth, & her lithe body arched for love, and her soft feet not hurting the little flowers: Thou knowest! And the sign shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness of the continuity of existence, the omnipresence of my body.
27. Then the priest answered & said unto the Queen of Space, kissing her lovely brows, and the dew of her light bathing his whole body in a sweet-smelling perfume of sweat: O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it be ever thus; that men speak not of Thee as One but as None; and let them speak not of thee at all, since thou art continuous!
28. None, breathed the light, faint & faery, of the stars, and two.
29. For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union.
30. This is the creation of the world, that the pain of division is as nothing, and the joy of dissolution all.
31. For these fools of men and their woes care not thou at all! They feel little; what is, is balanced by weak joys; but ye are my chosen ones.
32. Obey my prophet! follow out the ordeals of my knowledge! seek me only! Then the joys of my love will redeem ye from all pain. This is so: I swear it by the vault of my body; by my sacred heart and tongue; by all I can give, by all I desire of ye all.
33. Then the priest fell into a deep trance or swoon, & said unto the Queen of Heaven; Write unto us the ordeals; write unto us the rituals; write unto us the law!
34. But she said: the ordeals I write not: the rituals shall be half known and half concealed: the Law is for all.
35. This that thou writest is the threefold book of Law.
36. My scribe Ankh-af-na-khonsu, the priest of the princes, shall not in one letter change this book; but lest there be folly, he shall comment thereupon by the wisdom of Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
37. Also the mantras and spells; the obeah and the wanga; the work of the wand and the work of the sword; these he shall learn and teach.
38. He must teach; but he may make severe the ordeals.
39. The word of the Law is θέλημα.
40. Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look but close into the word. For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit, and the Lover, and the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
41. The word of Sin is Restriction. O man! refuse not thy wife, if she will! O lover, if thou wilt, depart! There is no bond that can unite the divided but love: all else is a curse. Accursed! Accursed be it to the aeons! Hell.
42. Let it be that state of manyhood bound and loathing. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will.
43. Do that, and no other shall say nay.
44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.
45. The Perfect and the Perfect are one Perfect and not two; nay, are none!
46. Nothing is a secret key of this law. Sixty-one the Jews call it; I call it eight, eighty, four hundred & eighteen.
47. But they have the half: unite by thine art so that all disappear.
48. My prophet is a fool with his one, one, one; are not they the Ox, and none by the Book?
49. Abrogate are all rituals, all ordeals, all words and signs. Ra-Hoor-Khuit hath taken his seat in the East at the Equinox of the Gods; and let Asar be with Isa, who also are one. But they are not of me. Let Asar be the adorant, Isa the sufferer; Hoor in his secret name and splendour is the Lord initiating.
50. There is a word to say about the Hierophantic task. Behold! there are three ordeals in one, and it may be given in three ways. The gross must pass through fire; let the fine be tried in intellect, and the lofty chosen ones in the highest. Thus ye have star & star, system & system; let not one know well the other!
51. There are four gates to one palace; the floor of that palace is of silver and gold; lapis lazuli & jasper are there; and all rare scents; jasmine & rose, and the emblems of death. Let him enter in turn or at once the four gates; let him stand on the floor of the palace. Will he not sink? Amn. Ho! warrior, if thy servant sink? But there are means and means. Be goodly therefore: dress ye all in fine apparel; eat rich foods and drink sweet wines and wines that foam! Also, take your fill and will of love as ye will, when, where and with whom ye will! But always unto me.
52. If this be not aright; if ye confound the space-marks, saying: They are one; or saying, They are many; if the ritual be not ever unto me: then expect the direful judgments of Ra Hoor Khuit!
53. This shall regenerate the world, the little world my sister, my heart & my tongue, unto whom I send this kiss. Also, o scribe and prophet, though thou be of the princes, it shall not assuage thee nor absolve thee. But ecstasy be thine and joy of earth: ever To me! To me!
54. Change not as much as the style of a letter; for behold! thou, o prophet, shalt not behold all these mysteries hidden therein.
55. The child of thy bowels, he shall behold them.
56. Expect him not from the East, nor from the West; for from no expected house cometh that child. Aum! All words are sacred and all prophets true; save only that they understand a little; solve the first half of the equation, leave the second unattacked. But thou hast all in the clear light, and some, though not all, in the dark.
57. Invoke me under my stars! Love is the law, love under will. Nor let the fools mistake love; for there are love and love. There is the dove, and there is the serpent. Choose ye well! He, my prophet, hath chosen, knowing the law of the fortress, and the great mystery of the House of God.
All these old letters of my Book are aright; but צ is not the Star. This also is secret: my prophet shall reveal it to the wise.
58. I give unimaginable joys on earth: certainty, not faith, while in life, upon death; peace unutterable, rest, ecstasy; nor do I demand aught in sacrifice.
59. My incense is of resinous woods & gums; and there is no blood therein: because of my hair the trees of Eternity.
60. My number is 11, as all their numbers who are of us. The Five Pointed Star, with a Circle in the Middle, & the circle is Red. My colour is black to the blind, but the blue & gold are seen of the seeing. Also I have a secret glory for them that love me.
61. But to love me is better than all things: if under the night stars in the desert thou presently burnest mine incense before me, invoking me with a pure heart, and the Serpent flame therein, thou shalt come a little to lie in my bosom. For one kiss wilt thou then be willing to give all; but whoso gives one particle of dust shall lose all in that hour. Ye shall gather goods and store of women and spices; ye shall wear rich jewels; ye shall exceed the nations of the earth in splendour & pride; but always in the love of me, and so shall ye come to my joy. I charge you earnestly to come before me in a single robe, and covered with a rich headdress. I love you! I yearn to you! Pale or purple, veiled or voluptuous, I who am all pleasure and purple, and drunkenness of the innermost sense, desire you. Put on the wings, and arouse the coiled splendour within you: come unto me!
62. At all my meetings with you shall the priestess say -- and her eyes shall burn with desire as she stands bare and rejoicing in my secret temple -- To me! To me! calling forth the flame of the hearts of all in her love-chant.
63. Sing the rapturous love-song unto me! Burn to me perfumes! Wear to me jewels! Drink to me, for I love you! I love you!
64. I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset; I am the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night-sky.
65. To me! To me!
66. The Manifestation of Nuit is at an end.
Love is the law, love under will.
