FANTASIA OF THE MOONLIT WORLD

PART3: PHANTOMS OF ANIMA MERCURY

And from the bending light, appeared

Forms of glowing apparitions

Which, over the grass, shone and shimmered,

Forms of pure Creation!

And in a voice, melodious beyond conceiving,

‘Round the gem, they began to sing,

A hymn, so ancient, beyond perceiving

As they formed the Sacred Ring

“When God gave form to all existence,

And from existence, the Sun took birth,

And from the Solar-wind’s dance

Came into being, beloved Earth,

The universe, long at last

Stood, of His crafty hands, created

All, in its bonds of love, were clasped,

And Earth, its crown-jewel elected.

Then He created Thee,

Our master, Lord of Animus

Into Her, life to breathe,

To give true form to dust

And Thou sent forth Thy mercurious crust

From thy clasps, forever set free,

To infuse the statues of stone and dust

With essence of Anima Mercury!

And we, Thy messengers and worshipers, alike

We, the seven spirits of Fantasy

Rose forth from the spire of crystal spikes

The Great Infusion, to oversee

Under Thy keen, watchful eye,

We embellished the Earth with life;

That life which lived and died,

Loved and hated, in harmony and in strife

And when our grand mission

Stood, long at last, completed,

The Turquoise gem of creation

Thou gifted us, exalted!”

Their Hymn to the moon now ended.

With the Master’s blessing earned,

And all that needed saying said,

Their gaze towards me turned.
