LE REVENANT
Published in the U.K. Vanity Fair London, England 14 April 1909 (page 475)
Translated by Aleister Crowley
Like angels lion-eyed that rove I shall return to thine alcove, Gliding with silent step and light Like the shadows of the night.
And I will give thee, dusky dove! Cold as the moon, these lips of love; And seek caresses, like a snake Playing round a crystal lake.
At the pallid moon’s disgrace Empty thou shalt find my place That shall be cold till night appear.
As others’ tenderness and truth Desire to rule thy life, thy youth, So will I dominate by fear!
Translated by Aleister Crowley. |
