Artemis and Endymion 

The Stages of Muraquba....Are the Levels of Meditation between Sleep and Awake. Endymion dreamed a dream so vivid, he entered into that realm in waking, and the dream became his waking.

Endymion woke in the realm of the Moon, and her passionate embrace.

So dear a picture of his sovereign power,

And I could witness his most kingly hour,

When he doth lighten up the golden reins,

And paces leisurely down amber plains

His snorting four. Now when his chariot last

Its beams against the zodiac-lion cast,

There blossom’d suddenly a magic bed

John Keats- Endymion

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:

Its lovliness increases; it will never

Pass into nothingness; but still will keep

A bower quiet for us, and a sleep

Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

John Keats- Endymion

Nor knew that nests were built. Now a soft kiss—

Aye, by that kiss, I vow an endless bliss,

An immortality of passion's thine:

...

Ere long I will exalt thee to the shine

Of heaven ambrosial; and we will shade

Ourselves whole summers by a river glade;

And I will tell thee stories of the sky,

And breathe thee whispers of its minstrelsy.

My happy love will overwing all bounds!

O let me melt into thee; let the sounds

Of our close voices marry at their birth;

Let us entwine hoveringly — O dearth

Of human words! roughness of mortal speech!

John Keats- Endymion

The Tantric Pearl, On an Oyster Bed

 The Chariot 

Letter Chet.

Lo! while slow carried through the pitying crowd,

To his inward senses these words spake aloud;

Written in star-light on the dark above:

"Dearest Endymion! my entire love!

How have I dwelt in fear of fate: 'tis done—

Immortal bliss for me too hast thou won.

Arise then! for the hen-dove shall not hatch

Her ready eggs, before I'll kissing snatch

Thee into endless heaven. Awake! awake!"

John Keats- Endymion
