ε Gesta de Amore from the Book of Wisdom or Folly in The Libri of Aleister Crowley

“Wherein which Party errs is no matter of Moment for our Thought; but the Existence of the War is Evidence of Wrong done to Nature.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “Therefore, o my Son, be thou wary, not bowing before the false Idols and ideals, yet not flaming forth in Fury against them, unless that be thy Will.”
  2. “And since the fetters are old and heavy, and thy Limbs withered and distorted by reason of their Compulsion, do thou, having broken them, walk gently for a little while, until the ancient Elasticity return, so that thou mayst walk, run, and leap naturally and with Rejoicing.”
  3. “Not until the Universe is thus laid naked before thee canst thou truly anatomize it.”
  4. “Now as Literature overfloweth with the Murders of Love, so also doeth History, and the Lesson is ever the same.”
  5. “Thus the Loves of Abelard and of Heloise were destroyed by the System of Repression in which they chanced to move. Thus Beatrice was robbed of Dante by social Artificialities; and Paolo slain on account of Things external to his Love of Francesca.”
