The
Chapter known as
The Twelvefold Denial of God
and the Unity thereof
s s s s s I s s s s s
s s s s s adore s s s s s
s s s s Thee by the s s s s
s s s s Twelve Denials s s s s
s s s s and by the Unity thereof s s s s
1. O Thou God of the Nothingness of All Things!
Thou who art neither the Formless breath of Chaos; nor
the exhaler of the ordered spheres:
O Thou who art not the cloud-cradled star of the
morning; nor the sun, drunken upon the midst, who blindeth
men!
I deny Thee by the powers of mine understanding;
Guide me in the unity of Thy might, and lead me to the
fatherhood of Thine all-pervading Nothingness;
for Thou art all and none of these in the fullness of Thy
Not-being.
2. O Thou God of the Nothingness of All Things!
Thou who art neither the vitality of worlds; nor the
breath of star-entangled being:
O Thou who art not horsed ’mid the centaur clouds of
night; nor the twanging of the shuddering bowstring of noon!
I deny Thee by the powers of mine understanding;
Throne me in the unity of Thy might, and stab me with
the javelin of Thine all-pervading Nothingness;
for Thou art all and none of these in the fullness of Thy
Not-being.
