Pan to Artemis poem – Aleister Crowley poems | Poetry Monster

A poem by Alistar Crowley (1875-1947)

Uncharmable charmer

Of Bacchus and Mars

In the sounding rebounding

Abyss of the stars!

O virgin in armour,

Thine arrows unsling

In the brilliant resilient

First rays of the spring!

By the force of the fashion

Of love, when I broke

Through the shroud, through the cloud,

Through the storm, through the smoke,

To the mountain of passion

Volcanic that woke —

By the rage of the mage

I invoke, I invoke!

By the midnight of madness: –

The lone-lying sea,

The swoon of the moon,

Your swoon into me,

The sentinel sadness

Of cliff-clinging pine,

That night of delight

You were mine, you were mine!

You were mine, O my saint,

My maiden, my mate,

By the might of the right

Of the night of our fate.

Though I fall, though I faint,

Though I char, though I choke,

By the hour of our power

I invoke, I invoke!

By the mystical union

Of fairy and faun,

Unspoken, unbroken –

The dust to the dawn! –

A secret communion

Unmeasured, unsung,

The listless, resistless,

Tumultuous tongue! –

O virgin in armour,

Thine arrows unsling,

In the brilliant resilient

First rays of the spring!

No Godhead could charm her,

But manhood awoke –

O fiery Valkyrie,

I invoke, I invoke!
