The Savoy[edit]

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent ; adders' poison is under their lips. (Ps 140 v 3)
Giving heed to seducer spirits (1 Tim. iv 1)
Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth inti lite, and few there be that find it (Math.vii, 14)

Now more than ever seems it rich to die
To cease upon the midnight without pain (Keats).

The Pit and the Pendulum[edit]

Poe, Edgar Allan (1899) The Raven, The Pit and the Pendulum, London: L. Smithers

While I pondered . . .Over many a quaint and curious volume
And the Raven . . still is sitting . . , On the pallid bust of Pallas
The seven tall candles upon the table

But my lips, and the uppoer portion of my head . . . touched nothing
I saw that some ten or twelve vibrations would bring the steel in actual contact with my robe
The sulphurous light . . . proceeded from a fissure. . . at the base of the walls
An outstretched arm caught my own as I fell

The Green Sheaf[edit]

The Green Sheaf (1903-4), founded by Pamela Colman-Smith was an esoteric journal.

The world of imagination is the world of eternity. It is the divine bosom into which we shall go after the death of the vegetated body.

The world of imagination is infinite and eternal, wherears the world of generation or vegetation is finite and temporal.

There exists in that eternal world the eternal realities of everything which we see reflected in this vegetable glass of nature.

William Blake.

THE DEFINITE.

"To see the world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower ; Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour."

William Blake
