Dumb poem – Aleister Crowley poems | Poetry Monster

A poem by Alistar Crowley (1875-1947)

Gabriel whispered in mine ear

His archangelic poesie.

How can I write? I only hear

The sobbing murmur of the sea.

Raphael breathed and bade me pass

His rapt evangel to mankind;

I cannot even match, alas!

The ululation of the wind.

The gross grey gods like gargoyles spit

On every poet’s holy head;

No mustard-seed of truth or wit

In those curst furrows, quick or dead!

A tithe of what I know would cleanse

The leprosy of earth; and I –

My limits are like other men’s.

I must live dumb, and dumb must die!
