... through the long hair half hiding her face, I thought that I could recognize Ammonaria ... 6
Saint Anthony: Help me, O my God! 16
And there are columns of basalt everywhere,... The light falls from the vaults above 38
there is a sweetness in my kisses as of a fruit dissolving within thy heart ... 58
... a long blood-colored chrysalis 100
... the flowers fall and the head of a python appears 105
... and in the darkness beside him people are praying... 107
... and he beholds an arid plain, mamillated with knolls 113
She drags a black sponge from her bosom, covers it with kisses ... 115
I have buried myself in solitude, like the rhinoceros. I dwelt in the tree behind me 119
Helena - Ennoia 125
... instantly arise three goddesses 157
Intelligence became mine! I became the Buddha. 165
... and eyes without heads were floating like mollusks 167
I, the first consciousness of Chaos, arose from the abyss that I might harden matter, and give a law unto forms 168
Here is the Good Goddess, the Idæan of the mountains 178
I am still the Great Isis!—none has yet lifted my veil! My fruit is the Sun! 188
... he falls head foremost into the abyss 206
Anthony: What is the purpose of all that? The Devil: There is no purpose. 224
The Old Woman: Of what art thou afraid?—a wide, black hole! Perhaps it is a void! 235
Death: Mine irony depasseth all others! 240
Death: It is I that make thee awful! Let us intertwine! 241
Anthony: Somewhere there must be primordial figures, whose bodily forms are only symbols 242
I myself have sometime beheld in the sky, as it were, forms of spirits 242
The Sphinx: ... and yet my gaze, which naught can deviate, remains fixed, gazing through all intervening things, upon a horizon that none may reach. The Chimera: I am light and joyous! 245
The Sciapods: The head as low as possible—That is the secret of happiness. 249
The beasts of the sea round as wineskins 258
Divers peoples inhabit the countries of the Ocean 258
Day at last appears ... in the midst thereof and in the very disk of the sun, beams the face of Jesus Christ. 260
