He said that he did not know, and (to a further question) that no one had ever explained it. This merely filled me with ambition to be the great exegetist who had explained it.

Lord, shall these dry bones live? ........O keep us in the hour ........Wherein the King-Ghost hath his power! The King-Ghost girds me with his gibbering creatures, ....My dreams of old that never saw the sun.

Next, he must give himself utterly up to that Form; he must annihilate himself absolutely in every act of love, labouring day and night to lose himself in lust for it, so that he leave no atom unconsumed in the furnace of their frenzy, as did of old his Father that begat him. He must realize himself wholly in the integration of the infinite Pantheon of images; for if he fail to formulate one facet of himself, by lack thereof will he know himself falsely.

This cowardice not only …
