…d the path none else hath trode ! Come, lover, in my breast all blooms above, Here is thy love! MEDEA. My poet, now! The one song in the world! ORPHEUS. Above us on the mast is spread The splendour of the fleece ! Before us, Argive maidens tread The glowing isles of Greece ! Behind us, fear and toil are dead: Below, the breakers cease ! The Holy Light is on my head— My very name is Peace ! The water’s music moves; and swings The sea’s eternal breast. The wind above us whistles, rings, And wafts‘us to the West. — Greece lures us on with beckonin…

…l, and can, give the child every chance [106] in life. You must remember that every soul is, from our point of view, a 'genius,' for its world is so incalculably greater than ours that one spark of its knowledge is enough to kindle a new epoch in mankind. "But heredity and environment usually manage to prevent any of this coming to light. No matter how full of whisky a flask may be, you will never make it drunk! "So we may perhaps conceive of some competition between souls for possession of different minds and bodies; or, let us say, to combine…

Of all the world alone abides The faint perfume of Patchouli, That subtle death in love ; it glides Across the opening dream, derides The fetich folly, immortality. Awake, O dream! Let distant bells And vague muezzins haunt the ear, Gaunt camels kneel by dusky wells, Imagination greyly hear : Allahu akbar! Allahu kabir ! Over inhospitable sands Let the simoom its columns spin !

Greek and Roman legend is full of stories in which this mystery is thinly veiled; they seem mostly to derive from Asia Minor and Syria. Her…

He gets a reputation by mar- keting his tiny scrap of knowledge of the Inner World; the public cries out for more, and the poor wage-slave, bankrupt in invention, does his best to fake— and fails. It is the male equivalent of the harlot who has drifted from Piccadilly to Waterloo Bridge Road.

A further development of the vision brought the con sciousness that the structure of the universe was highly orga nized, that certain stars were of greater magnitude and brilliancy than the rest. I began to seek similes to help me to explain myself. Several such attempts are mentioned later in this note. Here again are certain analogies with some of the properties of infinite series.

Within the memory of the présent génération, the possibility of aéroplanes was derisively denied by those very engineers accounted most expert to give their opinions. The method of divination, the ratio of it, is as obscure to-day as was that of spectrum analysis a génération ago.
