George Russell 'AE' (1867-1935)... Tired...drawing and poem
Tired, Ink and wash,
Star Teachers
EVEN as a bird sprays many-coloured fires,
The plumes of paradise, the dying light
Rays through the fevered air in misty spires
That vanish in the heights.
These myriad eyes that look on me are mine;
Wandering beneath them I have found again
The ancient ample moment, the divine,
The God-root within men.
For this, for this the lights innumerable
As symbols shine that we the true light win:
For every star and every deep they fill
Are stars and deeps within.
George William (“A. E.”) Russell (1867–1935). Collected Poems by A.E. 1913.

M. Fröhlich... illustration... Else Lasker-Schüler 1907
illustration of Else Lasker-Schüler from "Tino of Baghdad" by Else Lasker-Schüler 1907
To the Barbarian
The rough drops of your blood
Bring sweetness to my skin.
Do not call my eyes traitresses
Because they’re floating around your skies;
I’m resting on your night, smiling
And teaching your stars how to play.
And I’m walking through the rusty gate
Of your bliss with a song.
I love you and am coming nearer, in white
And transfigured on pilgrimage toes,
I’m taking your haughty heart,
Pure chalice, with me to the angels.
I love you as if I’d died
And my soul were spread across you –
My soul took in all the pain,
Its bitter images will shatter you.
But there are so many roses in bloom
I’d like to give you;
I’d like to bring you all the gardens
Woven into a wreath.
I keep thinking of you
Until the clouds drop down;
We’d like to kiss,
Wouldn’t we?

Willy Pogany... illustrations from The Song Celestial 1934
from The Song Celestial (Bhagavad Gita) by Sir Edwin Arnold
illustrated by Willy Pogany
Dwelling outside the stress
Of passion, fear, and anger; fixed in calms
Of lofty contemplation;
The Doors of Hell
Are threefold, whereby men to ruin pass, --
The door of Lust, the door of Wrath, the door
Of Averice.
" The elements, the conscious life, the mind,
The unseen vital force, the nine strange gates
Of the body, and the five domains of sense;
Desire, dislike, pleasure and pain, and thought
Deep-woven, and persistency of being;
These all are wrought on Matter by the Soul! "
Chapter
13

Austin Osman Spare... Satyr c1920
"By turning my head involuntary... I can always see my alter ego, familiars or the gang of elementals that partly constitute my being." AOS
from Austin Osman Spare, Fallen Visionary, Refractions published by Jerusalem Press
Alfred Kubin... Der Asket (the ascetic) ...1910
"When I ventured back into the world of the living, I discovered that my
god only held half-sway. In everything, both great and small, he had to
share with an adversary who wanted life. The forces of repulsion and
attraction, the twin poles of the earth with their currents, the
alternation of the seasons, day and night, black and white - these are
battles..."
from The Other Side A.Kubin
