…re; let the fine be tried in intellect, and the lofty chosen ones in the highest. Thus ye have star & star, system & system; let not one know well the other!
…y out. I entered for the Moral Science Tripos with the idea that it would help me to learn something about the nature of things. I don't know why it should have interested me. It must have been my subconscious will speaking. In any case, I was profoundly disgusted to find that political economy was one of the subjects. I attended the first lecture; the professor told us that the subject was a very difficult one because there were no reliable data. It is easy to imagine the effect of such a statement on a boy who had been trained in the exactitu…
…Out comes a dear little white silk bag; and we open that, and there’s a heap of snow that I’d much rather see than Mont Blanc. Well, you know, when you see it, you’ve got to sniff it. What’s it for? Nobody can answer that. Don’t tell me about ‘‘ use in operations on the throat.”” Lou didn’t need anything done to her throat. She sang like Melba, and she looked like a peach; and she was a Péche-Melba, just like two and two makes four. You bet we sniffed! And then we danced all round the suite for several years—probably as much as eight or nine mi…
…elucidate the matter by an analogy. Consider electricity. It would be absurd to say that electricity is any of the phenomena by which we know it. We take refuge in the petitio principii of saying that electricity is that form of energy which is the principal cause of such and such phenomena. Suppose now that we eliminate this idea as
… polluting your ears, journalist though you are, with such noisome stuff. (I can vouch for the faith- fulness of this description, for I know the swine well enough, and in no other than a book of filth would I have introduced any one of the three. Ed.) my artis- tic studies progressed but slowly, for much of my time was occupied with a liaison I had formed with Stephen Jimson, to whom the Ode (infra) is ad- dressed. This youth had the peculiar facility of spotting sodomites in the most unlikely places. He would in a short walk along the bouleva…
…le and the line. Why stick at nought? BERTRAM. Only a donkey fastened to a post Moves in a circle. LANDGRAVE. This is noble talk ! THE UNKNOWN MINSTREL. Leave the wide circle—word and argument ! Move to the line—the steady will of man, That shall attract the Two, the Breath of Life, The Holy Spirit: land you in the Three, Where form is perfect—in the triangle. TANNHAUSER, My friend, the Three is infinitely small, Mere surface. And I seek the Depth divine! THE UNKNOWN MINSTREL. The solid! But the triangle aspires To that same unity that you desp…
…he morning after the night before.” Nature warns us that we have been breaking the rules; and Nature has given us common sense enough to know that although we can borrow a bit, we have to pay back. We have drunk alcohol since the beginning of time; and it is in our racial consciousness that although ‘“‘a hair of the dog” will put one right after a spree, it won't do to choke oneself with hair. But with cocaine, all this caution is utterly abrogated. Nobody would be really much the worse for a night with the drug, provided that he had the sense …
…rse, there are some people whose nature it is to be slaves; they must be left to serve. But there are lots of us who are kings and don’t know it ; who suffer from the delusion that they ought to bow to public opinion, all sorts of alien domination. He spends his life fighting to emancipate people in this false subjection, because they are parts of himself. He has no ideas about morality. His sense of honour, even, means nothing to him as such. It is simply that he happened to be bornagentleman. ‘If I were a dog,’ he said to me once, ‘I should b…
…s; and besides, it is important for the spiritual life. Basil must have the record to read. I can’t remember dates, though. I don’t even know what year it is. The leaves in the park tell me it is autumn, and the nights are getting longer. The night is better than the day; there is less to irritate. We don’t sleep, of course, we fall into a torpor. Basil told me about it once. He called it the dark night of the soul. One has to go through it on the way to the Great Light. The light of day is torture. Every sense is an in- strument of the most de…
…quoted. The text goes on to give the reason for the facts. "Because of me in Thee which thou knewest not, for why? Because thou wast the knower, and me." (AL, II: 12, 13) The unexpected use or disuse of capitals, the queer syntax, the unintelligibility of the whole passage: these certainly indicate some profound Qabalistic import in these texts. So we had better mark that Strictly Private, and forget it. One point, however, we have forgotten; although my Libra inclinations do bias me personally , they also make me fair-minded, "a judge, and a g…
…lso abstract questions. Thus let him connect the prevalence of water upon the surface of the globe with its necessity to such life as we know with the specific gravity and other physical properties of water, and let him perceive ultimately through all this the necessity and concord of things, not concord as the schoolmen of old believed, making all things for man's benefit or convenience, but the essential mechanical concord whose final law is inertia. And in these meditations let him avoid as if it were the plague any speculations sentimental …
… symbols to attribute them unto. 56. Begone! ye mockers; even though ye laugh in my honour ye shall laugh not long: then when ye are sad know that I have forsaken you. 57. He that is righteous shall be righteous still; he that is filthy shall be filthy still. 58. Yea! deem not of change: ye shall be as ye are, & not other. Therefore the kings of the earth shall be Kings for ever: the slaves shall serve. There is none that shall be cast down or lifted up: all is ever as it was. Yet there are masked ones my servants: it may be that yonder beggar …
…st be done well and with business way. 42. The ordeals thou shalt oversee thyself, save only the blind ones. Refuse none, but thou shalt know & destroy the traitors. I am Ra-Hoor-Khuit; and I am powerful to protect my servant. Success is thy proof: argue not; convert not; talk not overmuch! Them that seek to entrap thee, to overthrow thee, them attack without pity or quarter; & destroy them utterly. Swift as a trodden serpent turn and strike! Be thou yet deadlier than he! Drag down their souls to awful torment: laugh at their fear: spit upon th…
187 Eckenstein and Knowles came up on the eleventh. Another fine day. I was still very ill; my temperature 39.4° Centigrade. I did not at all realize the cause at first, simple as it was. The true explanation was very far-fetched in the actual sense of the word. My symptoms became unmistakable before long and I had to admit that I was suffering from malaria. The hardships of the journey had removed my physiological protection and the bug stated to buzz about. I was thus the proud possessor of another world's record; the only man who had had mal…
…one, and one and all, reason breaks down, and either deep sleep loosens all my limbs, and darkness falls upon my soul, or else—— But you know well what else, dear children of the Light.
… of the Huns with their slow pedantic processes. The only drawback to the evening was that we couldn't get him to take any snow. And you know what that means—you feel the man’s somehow out of the party. He excused himself by saying that the regulations forbade it. He agreed with us that it was
… Wrong Box when he had to have a false death certificate, and wanted a “ venal doctor.” It annoyed me that it was daylight, and I didn’t know where to go. Suddenly, out of nowhere, there came the name and address of the man who had helped Billy Coleridge out of her scrape. It was a long way off, and I was horribly tired. I was hungry, but the thought of lunch made me sick. I felt that people were looking at me strangely. Was it the scar by my eye? I bought a thick veil. The girl looked surprised, I thought. I suppose it was rather funny in Sept…
ALI SLOPER; OR, THE FORTY LIARS 35 Confusion of the Modality of Assertion. When the Auditor is in an inferior position as to knowledge, this ranks as a malicious lie. Mrs. G. says to Father H. in the confessional, “I have not flirted with Mr. 1.,” and lies, because (on the theory) Father H. has a right to know. [BONES z'ntery'erts, “ Flirted! Autres temps, Autres motsl You’re improving, Frater ! ” Reader replies “ Pig l ”] But she says the same words with truth to Mrs. 1., who is merely asking out of curiosity. For if she changes the subject, or…
