THE EQUINOX<br />

Half skilled to agonise, half skilled to soo<strong>the</strong><br />

This passion ineluctable, this power<br />

Slave to its single end, to storm <strong>the</strong> tower<br />

That holdeth <strong>the</strong>e, who art Au<strong>the</strong>ntic Truth.<br />

O golden hawk! O lidless eye! Behold<br />

How <strong>the</strong> grey creeps upon <strong>the</strong> shuddering gold!<br />

Still I will strive! That by <strong>the</strong> striving broken<br />

I may exhaust this me! That thou mayst sweep<br />

Swift on <strong>the</strong> dead from thine all-seeing steep—<br />

And <strong>the</strong> unutterable word by spoken.<br />

ALEISTER CROWLEY.
