Alicia Monologue from Household Gods: A Comedy

From Household Gods: A Comedy by Aleister Crowley

female · philosophical · 52 sec

Pan never speaks till man is dumb, And only then if he be like a child Silently curled within its mother's womb, Or feeding at her breast. There is a wild Way also - when his dumbness is of death. And there's a first and second death. Remember To die so that no god's or angel's breath May quicken into life the wasted ember! (CRASSUS: I am dead now.) But I must raise you up. The night grows darker; all Pan's light is gone, And you and I are pledged to sup Upon a secret. (CRASSUS: All your secret shone.) Oh, when you know it! But you must divine Adela's shrine.
