They have taken the name of Eos in vain.
The true golden dawn is a time of great peace.
It’s a loving touch that brings warmth and not pain
and smiles upon immigrant faces in Greece.
Fascism is a deep darkness and cold;
a hades whose touch can only freeze or scorch;
the opposite of the true dawns gentle gold.
Love is what truly resembles her torch.

Thank you, Walrus. I worry about Nazi-ism becoming powerful again. The images I see on the News of whats happening in Greece remind me of Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany and I remember that some poets, like WH Auden, were writing anti-fascist poems before the war.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

You probaly already know, Well-wisher, but the Golden Dawn was also an occult group that Aleister Crowley was involved with.

And W.B. Yeats was also a member, I know. Did you know that Ian Fleming based Le Chiffre from Casino Royale on Crowley?

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

I didn't know, I've never read the book.
