Just come out of temple - I haven't had time to collect my thoughts but I must say that this chapter rivals anything in class A that I've read for beauty* and therefore rivals anything I've ever read in the English language for beauty.
Eros indeed.*excluding Liber Legis

Mercury rules and is exalted in cerebral Virgo (and Venus in her fall). Alchemical quicksilver transmutes the libidinous force, snared on the fish-hook of desire. The sultry drone of the cicada and celebrations of tropical mysteries yield layers of wisdom that sex-denying priests of the West cannot attain. Leading toward a non-dimensional threshold of unity and grandeur, this revelation of rapture and certainty of devotion. As the grey world falls away, the path marked by Eros leads down to a dark, entombed origin, impenetrable to the usual sorts of spiritual rites, and opened only through "passive love," in which the sword of the beloved cuts undefended and deep.

Waiting.
I wait.
I'd rather be alone, waiting,
Then give myself to anyone but her.She is a star hiding in the company of stars,
Waiting for me with a patience
Greater than mine
Her little hook fluttering in the tiny waves
Of her light streaming
Across the span of the universe
To me.
