…osophy , and his psychology , all point to an ultimate blending of our extreme per fections and imperfections — vice and virtue — in one great monistic unity . He that would be wise must know all things , all things that his transient life can enable him to grasp . In the age which produced Rabelais and Boccaccio , vice was flagrantly open , and the lust which the early Christians had first opposed and secondly absorbed , slowly burnt within the society of their days , till it burst out in the lecherous flames

… is being spun bya hand. Though the wheel fills the whole Aire, yet the hand is much bigger than the wheel. And though this vision is so great and splen- did, yet there is no seriousness with it, or solemnity.

One is conscious of the whirring of the wheel thrilling one, like an electric discharge passing t…

87 Easter the hotel was overcrowded; and five of us, including Eckenstein and myself, were sleeping in the barn. One of Eckenstein's greatest friends was Mrs. Bryant, whose beautiful death between Chamonix and Montanvers in 1922 was the crown of a noble life. She had brought her niece, Miss Nichols, who to intrepidity on rocks added playfulness in less austere surroundings. I formally accuse her of putting a kitten under Eckenstein's pillow in the barn while we were in the smoking- room after dinner. If it had been a cobra Eckenstein could not …

They gave us what we wanted, but did not seem in the least happy about it. Further investigation, however, finally revealed that having money, they thought we must be brigands. We let it go at that.
