I'd like to meet:

Othe people climbing this Hill. Behind and before me. Kiss me and through me a rope! as I through one behind me. Were in this together we might as well climb that way.I see o' nights among the whins the Devil walking widdershins. As stony silent as the Sphinx I sit upon the sandy links, And listen to the glittering spell Of Asmodee the Goat of Hell.He conjures up the nights of gray And cardinal in Dahomey, Where before kings and caboceers The flaming cat of Hell careers; (cat screams wildly) Where witches whirl their flapping teats Still shrieking to the drum that beats Its monstrous call to flesh of man Hissing and bubbling in the pan---- "Hua is God" it spelt to me; "There is none other God than He."He conjures up the seas that swell Before the hosts of Gabriel Between the Lights in Ibis flight Who whirls the Sword and Scales of Right. The tall ship stirkes: the rending roar Of death devours the horrid war Where men dash women to the deck, Leave children wailing on the wreck... Behold the lightning's jagged flash Spell out the signal with its lash--- "Hua is God" (it tore the sea) "There is none other God than He."He conjures up the greasy glare Of Rupert Street by Leicester Square, Whose sodden slaves with sweat and paint Sicken the soul and make it faint. Build of the slimy scales of vice One concentrated cockatrice! "Think!" laughs the devil, "everywhere Is Rupert Street by Leicester Square." "True!" I replied, "it spells to me: There is none other God than He."He conjures up the loathly rout Of Christians crawling in and out, A sight as lovely to the wise As maggots in a maiden's eyes. From chapel, church, and meeting-room, From brothel, hospital, and tomb, From palace, gin-shop, workhouse, prison, Factory, slum, their slime is risen. The Devil said "Bestir thy wits! Spew out these dysenteric---" "It's A pity" (thus I cut him short) "Your boyhood was so badly taught. The riddle's simple-here's the key! There is none other God than He."He conjures up the Universe, Men bitter bad, and women worse. The whole disgusting Pan is shown, Filth from the spirit to the stone. "Read that!" he yelled. "Your eyeballs squint, But That is surely plain as print." "It is," i said, "for all to see--- There is none other God than He."And now the Devil strides and spins Most furiously widdershins. He causes two (two?) deceitful moons To dance upon the driving dunes. "If all's illusion, gentle youth, All is the enemy of Truth. Where are you now?" "My worthy friend!" (I answered) "take it to the end. I do not think you prove it quite That truth and lies are opposite. But upon This we can agree: There is none other God than He."He wrote in flame upon the grass (imagine fire) "This person is a perfect ass." He vanished in a cloud of musk. He sent the demons of the dusk To ramp and rage about the links To tease me-Me, the stony Sphinx! I smiled; I bent them to my will; I set them dancing deosil, And singing with seraphic glee "There is none other God than He."The devil saw that he had failed. He came back very draggle-tailed; And, poised above me in the air, Whined "Mr. Sphinx, now, is it fair? My business is to rack the bones Of saints like you and Mr. Jones! I'm paid to accuse the brethren, sir!" "I do not blame you, Lucifer. I take my pleasure in your frown Because you 'represent the Crown.' (imagine KthR's Crown) And all your prattle means to me: There is none other God than He."The Devil seemed to see the point. Pleased that I did not say "Aroint!" (pig-grunting) Pleased that in Asmodee I sight Brave Lucife, the lord of Light, Pleased with my Qabalistic pun (Really a very clever one!), ((1?)) Accepted all and none; became A perfect vessel of the Flame. He flapped his crooked and gloomy wing And swore by God the Holy King That all his malice should confine Itself to this one sin of mine And this alone, when neophytes (Confused by the excess of lights) Perceive not what they ought to see: "There is none other God than He."Oh how the good converted Fiend Worris those Postulants unveaned! Though now he dances deosil He pounds them many a purging pill. He cleans them from their piggish food; He brings them to beatitude. "Hua is God!" quoth Asmodee: "There is none other God than He." A.C. as To Mega Therion: the Great Beast who's Law is Love.
