Hymn to Lucifer

To prepare you for my presentation, next Wednesday, an excerpt from Aleister Crowley's poem "Hymn to Lucifer":

"(...)

His body a bloody-ruby radiant
With noble passion, sun-souled Lucifer
Swept through the dawn colossal, swift aslant
On Eden's imbecile perimeter.
He blessed nonentity with every curse
And spiced with sorrow the dull soul of sense,
Breathed life into the sterile universe,
With Love and Knowledge drove out innocence
The Key of Joy is disobedience"
