Alicia Monologue from Household Gods: A Comedy

From Household Gods: A Comedy by Aleister Crowley

female · philosophical · 46 sec

Attend the dawn Of an unknown comet, that shall come From the unfathomable wells of space Into its halidom. (CRASSUS: I know it not. Last night I walked alone Here, and saw nothing.) I was not with you! There is no God upon the eternal throne Of stars begemming the bewildering blue Unless one has the eyes to see him. Think How we two stand upon the brink Of nothing! Here's a globe, whereto we trust, No larger than the smallest speck of dust Or mote in the sunbeam is to that sun's self, And we are like dead leaves in autumn's whil Of wind upon it.
