The first qoutation reads:

The Great Work must be begun in the Night House of Saturn:  The Blackness appears in forty days Sun in in the Day house of Saturn:  The Blackness deepens into the Night house of Jupiter on reaching Aries a separation occurs.  The Whiteness of Luna develops when the Sun is in the house Cancer of Luna.  The Sun begins his special form of change in Leo his own house.

Redness is produced in the Day house of the red metal copper, Venus, this is Libra, next Scorpio follows and the Work reaches completion in Sagittarius follows, and the Work reaches completion in Sagittarius the Day house of Jupiter.



The second quotation reads:


I

Within the golden portal
of the garden of the wise,
Watching the seven sprayed fountain,
The Hesperian Dragon lies.
Like the types of Asia's churches
those glorious jets appear.
Three times the magick waters
Must the Winged Dragon drain
Then his scales shall burst asunder
Then his heart be rent in twain.
Forth shall flow an emanation
Forth shall spring a shape divine,
And if Sol and Cynthia and thee
Shall the charmed Key be thine.

II

In the solemn groves of Wisdom
Where black pines their shadows fling
Near the haunted cell of Hermes,
Three lovely flowerets spring
The violet Damask tinted
In scent all flowers above:
The milk white vestal Lily
And the purple flower of Love.
Red Sol a sign shall give thee
Where the Sapphire Violets gleam,
Watered by the rills that wander
From the viewless golden stream:
One violet shalt thy gather --
But ah -- beware, beware!
The Lily and the Amaranth
Demand thy chiefest care.

III

With in the lake of the crystal,
Roseate as Sol's first ray
With eyes of diamond lustre,
A thousand fishes play
A net within that water
A net with web of gold
If cast where air bills glitter
One shining fish shall hold.

IV

Amid the oldest mountains
Whose tops are next the Sun,
The everlasting rivers
Through glowing channels run
Those channels are of gold
And thence the countless treasures
Of kings of earth rolled.
But far -- far must he wander
Oe'r realms and seas unknown
Who seeks the ancient mountains
Where shines the Wonderous Stone.
