hypocrites doth moralize
andst accuse the other with
names those with high regard
for their virtue doth of
themselves ignore to accuse

other poor savage lands with


one hand to give and with the
other their land to take inst
the same breath they singeth
of brotherly love andst
Agape Yet enslave to Hell
those poor savages they
blame of immorality the very
people their crusade didst
exploit didst do the very
things that they themselves
didst to do But of the other

to accuse Ahh what we see


doth depend uponst whether
the painted veil be lifted or
doth lay before our eyes thus
Dearest recieter all doth
depend uponst thee what thee

PREFACE
Ahhh Dearest recieter telleth I thee
with wit writ uponst the airs with
thoughts deep andst tongue dipped inst
sweet odours perfumed ast like those
moralists that with flowers choisest
uponst their tongue engarlanded with
such grace stirring tropes andst words
that doth lace that place uponst the
podium they doth fomst pontificate
with elegance so displayed andst their
thoughts so well arraid to with such
depth of wit to proue that their foe be of
such status low of so low morality that
they float high with such sublimity
andst no hypocrisy

What be we see whenst the painted veil


we lift whenst Māyā is dissolved to see or
not to see ‘neath appearance to its
“isness” thatness” “beingness” ‘neath the
illusion of the phenomenal world what be
this force that doth create the painted
veil perhaps just simply words perhaps
that be that drug of the minde that doth
bewitch so wayfarer taketh thy journey
follow thy way lift the veil andst thee
might see some “isness” thatness”
“beingness” not thru philosophy But
perhaps anthropology

Andst didst wander I didst I


wonder a flâneur that didst But be a
wayfarer thru this earth not be with
philosophy a consolation ast with
Boethius mere words the painted
veil of no avail Ohh howeth that
poet ‘neath autumnal winds
mouldering bones ‘neath leaves that
rot onst that couch of everlasting
sleep who now not sings poor fool
he to seek thru philosophy that
wasted trek onst that Great
Alexanders path all that he didst
But see be But illusions created
by he by who thought he doth see to
seek the truth But sees it not But
9
10

see naught But his ideas which he


didst But see ast objects external to
he Yet they be shadows of words
But phantoms where he be But the
dupe of the victim of the shadows of
words the prey of his self created
dreams sweet illusions that But
deceive for the reality that not be
But didst I see ‘neath the painted
veil ast I didst But wander I didst
I wonder a flâneur that didst But
be a wayfarer thru this earth ast
didst Fleetwood with too much
solitude thru crowds didst wander
wonder inst travels ‘mongst
mountains along rivers up tall
10
11

precipices andst thru verdant fields


andst thru lands of darkness Yet
not like he for I an Aesthete didst
But see all beauties ‘neath that
painted veil glitter green ripples light
reflecting golds to sparkle inst white
ice to see flowers bloom with odours
of sweet hue to tingle along streams
gilded edges of yellow strips that
meander ast webs to paint the fields
andst lands ast tapestries of blazing
bright light thru a universe of
glittering wave tips scarlet leaves
‘mongst shadows of indigo ‘neath
moon silver pearl that glows tinted
onst dark velvet night to flicker onst
11
12

seas blue amethyst crystal fires


flecked the mountain peaks azure ast
drops of liquid grains fromst frozen
moonlight ‘neath skies unfathomable
streaked with plumes of dawns rosey
light andst didst wonder wander I
an Eolian Harp whose minde didst
flicker thoughts like tunes fromst
that breeze that I didst But see to
finde inst all the world diversity
that didst thru my minde to sweep to
flutter my minde to thoughts to creep
to seep within mine brain with all the
beauties of the earth to gain andst
thru lands of darkness a flâneur o’er
plaines didst I wander wonder inst
12

Faḍlān ibn al-ʿAbbās Ibn Rāshid
Ibn Hammād andst the lands of
darkness the lands of the Volga
Bulgars of the Oghuz Turks
Bukharā andst the Khazars, andst
Cumans, andst Pechenegs where the
Bashghirds doest of fleas andst lice to
eat to carry wooden phallus that where
people doest to But worship cranes
andst snakes where men of intelligence
be But sacrificed where adulterers be
But cut inst two fromst their nape of
neck to their thighs with sharp axe to
hang with each male andst woman those
pieces to a tree that all canst see But

unbelieving Jinn within the night to

people of Ad with four arms length

INTRODUCTIO
N So what be

Paradise
this

Gained
perhaps a Medieval
allegory ast like “The
Romance of the Rose”
4

or a Koan not of the Soto


school But the Rinzai
where reason be But a
hindrance to the ultimate ast
doth say the Christian St
Bernard holiness not
argument leads to the divine
or again ast Hugh of St
Victor that the uncorrupted
truth cant be understood by
reason or again Richard of
St Victor reason and the
5

imagination be inferior to
mystical contemplation for
ast St Bernard didst say
vision be the way for logic
andst dialectics lead thee
astray so andst what might
the allegory be be it a vision
of the mystic journey some
doth say the world canst be
an Hell or an heaven such
that thee canst turn Hell into
a heaven or turn heaven inst
6

to a Hell with clarity the


journeys end is But where
thee began all remains the
same what hast changed is
thy clarity the allegory thus
seeks to put inst words that
vision seen where to see is
not to see to know is not to
know But words do falsify
so recieter try to see the
vision thru allegory to see
the ultimate beyond reason
7

PREFACE
Ahh what be this askes thee sweet
recieter Ahh some humble wits doth
answer with pen dipped inst gold writ onst
pearl paper tinted with those thoughts of
philosophers andst mystics deep full of
words andst fancies that all their times
doth keep some others sing onst
Sheppard’s pipes Ye what canst say I to
thee with vaine words that afford naught
But more words well let I say whenst
thee be onst the mystics way note that at
thy end thee be But back where thee began
I say for whenst thee hast lost thy
verbiage thenst thee hast won clarity
whenst thy end is where thee began whenst
thy words to oblivion thee doest send
8

Ahh what be this blue tinted orb that floats


around inst within space what be this place
that doth strew uponst the many andst the
few to coat their lives with joy or misery
some say it be Hell others tell it be Heaven
uponst them that befell what be this duality
this binary some say that be the way the
minde doth of reality to say other say that
duality be just illusion brought fromst that
scam Of Aristotle his logic the excluded
middle that hast way layed humanity for
2300 years some doth say make of that
Hell thy heaven rather thanst maketh of
Heaven thy Hell Yet what doth this proem
to of the matter to say well with clarity Dear
recieter read the words or go beyond such
9

Andst doest I to But to lift the


painted veil fromst the vale of tears
fromst Saṁvṛti the Sufi eyes to see
thru Māyā doest I seek doest
perhaps to see ast Dante didst seek
to see to be the candle ready for that
flame that flame that he didst didst
long to But to gain to see beyond the
shadowy play of realities prefaces
where the masks hast been lifted to
see Ohh to see perhaps what other
be the things to be where I doest to
see not unripe things But to see
where others sight be not equal to the
sight beyond the painted veil where
Ohh that sempiternal rose dilating
10

doth its odours to exhale But give


off where be But all be But be
spring to see that without But
seeing to see to be to without
knowing to know to be that whenst
onst my journey didst I to wander
to wonder that didst I thenst to see
to know that that journeys end is
But the journey where I began But
Ahh But with more clarity didst I
thenst didst But to see before that
I began that rose be But a rose
that didst along the journeys path
became not that rose Yet at the
journeys end where I didst to But
began the rose be But again that
11

rose But with more clarity that


hadst I But gained unlike that
Peter Bell that inst shadows
trusted thenst to madness wast he
thrusted to damnation where Ahh
where what wast Hell to heaven
turned to I to burn with heaven
unto myself to be to see with clarity
whenst the painted veil didst to lift
andst reality to see to lift the
shadows o’er the abyss andst with
sight clear to view andst those unreal
shapes that mimic all that the rest
canst But only see to I Shall lead
I to the shadows to lift andst inst
gloomy solitude to be But Ahh
12

Ahh to be within the world But of


it not Yet part of that shadow dance
Yet with more clarity apart to see
Yet merged inst all that crowd
happier thanst all I hast But known
andst the shadows purple indigo
didst glow pearl tinted flushing hues
of dawn tinted colours spectrum
glistening blent mingled gem-like
stars spiral light vortexes whorls of
shadows bright light indigo purples
inst frenzy didst But to twirl
flickering quiver shadows ast if to
lift fromst the moon clouds of
speckled gleams doth lift the
painted veil the darkness to light
13

bright Ahh doth see I see I Ohh


see I light opens round the space
this sphere this universe this void
this Ohh this didst see I where all
things to beauty be this space doth
But be paradise to those that doth

all shapes to light with delight with
beauty bright with thy sight doth
thee create paradise to fashioning
chaos inst to Oh these words doest
crumble inst mine mouth uponst mine
lips tip to dust worthless motes for
these bubbles of sounds doest But
be But lie for what doth lie before

incense that doth kiss the breeze that
doth kiss the bright swift flowing
ripples uponst the azure gleaming
waves the multitudinous all sweet
flowing things within mine eyes orbs
that glint ast crystals of fire like
spears of gold the light flecked
burning flames of beauteousness
untold that coat fromst mine lips that
flow pollen of brightness thru the
purpling light glow golden thenst
didst burst to dissolve the indigo
purple shadows that preface reality
andst to mine gaze didst blaze Ohh
didst blaze to mine gaze forth didst
15

I see ast if a dream But But real

greens andst blues like of jewels

beauties ast nymphs that didst
perfume the airs nectareous of ooze
that fromst their pulpy –fruity
pollinating blooms didst to glow ast

burning sun of golden fire all ast if
painted uponst the light Nymphs of
pink cheeked flesh kiss each with
toying tongues ‘neath sky transparent
ast glass a dome blazing like a lake
of shining expanse Yet inst clouds
reflecting all within what doth seem
16

a golden sphere encircling be it real


or illusion within the lucid depth of
mine sight to see those Nymphs

hairs they each to each andst each to

delights that fill this paradise with
fragrance filled to rise ast plumes of
light sky-tinting ‘neath fervid sun

blooms onst carpet ast painted o’er

growths of flesh that grow with
each breath more fruitful all ripe
