Liber Liberi vel Lapidis Lazuli Adumbratio Kabbalæ Ægyptiorum sub figurâ VII
1. I am like a maiden bathing in a clear pool of fresh water.
2. O my God! I see Thee dark and desirable, rising through the water as a
golden smoke.
3. Thou art altogether golden, the hair and the eyebrows and the brilliant
face; even into the finger-tips and toe-tips Thou art one rosy dream of
gold.
4. Deep into Thine eyes that are golden my soul leaps, like an archangel
menacing the sun.
5. My sword passes through and through Thee; crystalline moons ooze out of
Thy beautiful body that is hidden behind the ovals of Thine eyes.
6. Deeper, ever deeper. I fall, even as the whole Universe falls down the
abyss of Years.
7. For Eternity calls; the Overworld calls; the world of the Word is awaiting
us.
8. Be done with speech, O God! Fasten the fangs of the hound Eternity in this
my throat!
9. I am like a wounded bird flapping in circles.
10. Who knows where I shall fall?
11. O blesséd One! O God! O my devourer!
12. Let me fall, fall down, fall away, afar, alone!
13. Let me fall!
IV
14. Nor is there any rest, Sweet Heart, save in the cradle of royal Bacchus, the
thigh of the most Holy One.
