Like clouds in rain, like seas
Exultant as they roll,
We mix in ecstasies,
And, as breeze melts in breeze,
Thy soul becomes my soul.

I stand above the tides of time
And elemental strife;
My figure stands above, sublime,
Shadowing the Key of Life,
And the passion of my mighty rhyme
Divides me as a knife.
For secret symbols on my brow,
And secret thoughts within,
Compel eternity to Now,
Draw the Infinite within.
Light is extended. I and Thou
Are as they had not been.

Our love is like a glittering sabre bloodied
With lives of men ; upsoared the sudden sun ;
The choral heaven woke ; the aethyr flooded
All space with joy that you and I were one.

To drink the purple of your thighs; to press
Your beating bosom like a living flower;
To die in your embraces, in the shower
That dews like death your swooning loveliness.
Aleister Crowley, from “The Summit of the Amorous Mountain,” The Equinox (Vol. I, No. I)
