I8 THE WORLD’S TRAGEDY. Beyond speech, beyond song, beyond evidence. There is wonder intense, a miraculous sun, As the many are molten and mixed into one With the heat of its passion ; the one hath invaded The heights of its soul, and its laughter is braided With comets whose plumes are the galaxies Like winds on the night’s inaccessible seas. Oh master ! my master ! nay, bid me not ride To the heaven beyond heaven ; for I may not abide. I faint : I am frail : not a mortal may bear The invisible light, the abundance of air. I fail : I am sinkin…

THE BLUE DWARF. 87 CHAU I who am come from the remote abode Beyond the highest snows, Beyond the swiftest river, Was moved thereto by a strange goad — Stranger, my lords, than all your wisdom knows ! For in the city of gold and jade Beyond where my vassal Tartars shiver I have a dagger gold-inlaid Sharp as an arrow from the heavenly quiver ; Its hilt of clustered fires, a crusted jewel Fashioned in the likeness of a demon-king Most exquisitely cruel : — Daily I try my luck By the Oracle of the Bleeding Duck. GOVINDA Look ! what a horrid horde o…

…e, bow, and depart. THE KINGS Away, away like the wanton wind ! One to the groves of ilex tall ; One to the plains of infinite Ind ; One beyond the Mongol wall. As we met, so we part. Three great kings and one true heart !

…shall bear the upright bar, Hanged for honesty and truth, Wisdom, courage, love, or youth. Women bear the cross-bar, living In the filth beyond believing. Svelte or buxom, fair or dark, Go to the maw of the greedy shark

…hat excellent lady was a hard case. She was quite deaf and very nearly blind ; while mentally she had never been remarkable for anything beyond a not una- miable imbecility. However, there was but one thing to be done, to argue her into conviction. They agreed to take eight-hour shifts ; and for all I know, they are arguing still, and neither of the Meetings at Oban can meet ! A BOYHOOD IN HELL The Revd. H. d’Arcy Champney M. A. of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, had come out of sect. He had voted at the Parliamentary elections by cros- sing…

…thing as to see these ghouls licking their chops over the adven- tures of some dirty slut of a Princess. They scent indecency in passion beyond the marriage-tie : they will not even allow a man to be in love with his own wife. Why shouldn’t he be ? He is now and then. I happen to know it. The long and short of the whole matter is this, that there is no- thing clean but ecstasy. Whether that ecstasy is the divine spirituality of Visva- rupadarshana, or the sexual splendour of Epipsychidion, or the laughter of Catullus, all is pure and perfect. I…

…her my uncle Tom couldn’t stand him. (I must excuse my mother and my Uncle. The former was the best of all possible mothers, only marred beyond belief by the religious monomania which perhaps started in what one may call “ Hysteria of Widow- hood ” ; the latter a typical sexual degenerate.) They stole his letters and faked up some excuse for getting rid of him. And if “ an orphan’s curse can drag to hell a spi- rit from on high ” what of the curse of a child on those who betrayed him in their bigotry and meanness to such tor- ture as I have des…

… fortress is that whose semi-lunes are Lord Townshend and Lord Tanker- ville ! — pass the bill with scarce a protest. We are to be taxed beyond endurance, our defences neglected, our edu- cation left to sink or swim as it may, that our whole state may be clogged with its own excrement ! It is no idle boast of the vermin socialists that their system is Christianity, and no other is genuine. And look at them ! to a man —

…sed by the great Raven heresy which split the body into two equal halves, and extinguished the last sparks of its importance. I am going beyond my subject, but I cannot refrain from telling the awful story of the Meeting at Oban. The Meeting at Oban consisted of a Mr. Cameron and his wife and the bedridden mother of one of the two, I for- get which. Now as it is written : “ wheresoever two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them ” it was all very well : but two forms a quorum. Jesus will not come for less. Thi…
