A poem by Alistar Crowley (1875-1947)

Lo! I lament. Fallen is the sixfold Star:

Slain is Asar.

O twinned with me in the womb of Night!

O son of my bowels to the Lord of Light!

O man of mine that hast covered me

From the shame of my virginity!

Where art thou? Is it not Apep thy brother,

The snake in my womb that am thy mother,

That hath slain thee by violence girt with guile,

And scattered thy limbs on the Nile?

Lo! I lament. I have forged a whirling Star:

I seek Asar.

O Nepti, sister! Arise in the dusk

From thy chamber of mystery and musk!

Come with me, though weary the way,

To bring back his life to the rended clay!

See! are not these the hands that wove

Delight, and these the arms that strove

With me? And these the feet, the thighs

That were lovely in mine eyes?

Lo! IO lament. I gather in my car

Thine head, Asar.

And this -is this not the trunk he rended?

But -oh! oh! oh! -the task transcended,

Where is the holy idol that stood

For the god of thy queen’s beatitude?

Here is the tent -but where is the pole?

Here is the body -but where is the soul?

Nepti, sister, the work is undone

For lack of the needed One!

Lo! I lament. There is no god so far

As mine Asar!

There is no hope, none, in the corpse, in the tomb.

But these -what are these that war in my womb?

There is vengeance and triumph at last of Maat

In Ra-Hoor-Khut and in Hoor-pa-Kraat!

Twins they shall rise; being twins they are one,

The Lord of the Sword and the Son of the Sun!

Silence, coeval colleague of the Voice,

The plumes of Amoun -rejoice!

Lo! I rejoice. I heal the sanguine scar

Of slain Asar.

I was the Past, Nature the Mother.

He was the Present, Man my brother.

Look to the Future, the Child -oh paean

The Child that is crowned in the Lion-Aeon!

The sea-dawns surge an billow and break

Beneath the scourge of the Star and the Snake.

To my lord I have borne in my womb deep-vaulted

This babe for ever exalted.
