Hark! they are leaping from the valley views
Into the light and laughter and deep grief
Of that immortal heart that sings beyond belief.

Aleister Crowley, Oracles, Night in the Valley

Hermetic quote Crowley Oracles leaping light laughter deep grief immortal heart sings beyond belief

  1. “Strong as a man, the Queen strides in. Even she shrank frighted! – my aspect More dreadful than all shapes of sin Her dreams might shape or recollect, Hideous with fasting, madness, grief, Beyond all speaking or belief.”
  2. “It was a weary while before they raised him Boy as he was, none dare disturb his grief. And for his grief was strong, they loved and praised him For son’s devotion to their dear dead chief. Long, long he wept, nor brought with tears relief. He knew the loss, the old head wise and grey Well to assoil him of his spirit’s grief, The twilight dangers of a boy’s dim way, His dragons to confront, his minotaurs to slay.”
  3. “Within the laughter lies a collective relief so deep-seated that it becomes a little uncanny.”
