…ve in the East or the South, is best: it must not need attention. One can usually buy stoves with excellent appropriate symbolism. (Last time I did this- 13 e.v.-I got a perfect Ferranti at Harrods. The circular copper bowl, with the central Disk as the source of heat, is unsurpassable.) The walls should be "self-coloured," a neutral tint-green, grey or blue-grey? -and entirely bare, unless you put up, in the proper quarters, the proper designs, such as the "Watch Towers"-see The Equinox.

…past, and allowed no alien interest of any sort to interfere with his absorption in the Work. His journey to see the Head seemed at that time a fatal interruption; at the least, it involved the waste of one whole year. He was wrong; his gesture of setting the interests of the Order before his personal advancement was counted unto him for righteousness. There should be no need to extend this list; it could be

…. A player whose tum it is must either add his letter within a reasonable (This is a matter of good feeling, courtesy and consideration) time, may say "I challenge" or, alternatively, "That is a 'word'." The other must then give the "word" that he intends, or deny that it is a "word" within the meaning of the Art, as the case may be. The Dictionary decides the winner. The chal1enged player may give one word only, and that in the form which is printed in the Dictionary; e.g. if he were chal1enged at BRUSS, and answered BRUSSELS, he would lose; i…

…, its “Condition” or “form,” included therein. This leaves the idea of “Motion” for Hadit, whose interplay with Nuit makes the Universe. Time should perhaps be considered as a particular kind or dimension of Space.1 2 1 [Antoine Fabre-d’Olivet, Hermeneutic Interpretation of the Origin of the Social State of Man, tr. Redfield (1921), ch. 1; see Works Cited.] 2 In Berashith all qualities soever are considered as so many dimensions. I see no reason, 19 years later, for receding from this view.

…benighted brain: he had solemnly cut his way down the mule path --- he was the chamois whose tracks the girls had seen! Well, it was not time for me to join my friends at Arolla; but I {131} wasn't going to climb any more with Ellis, so I made my excuses and departed. The fag-end of the story is as peculiar as the rest. We arranged to dine together in London and when I got back I wrote to him. He replied at once, asking me to dine with him at his club. I duly turned up; but he was not there and I have never heard a word of him since! Another ve…

I was the slayer and the slain ! And there sailed Lou across the sky to meet me. “‘O Thou outrider of the Sun, that spurrest the bloody flanks of the wind! I adore Thee, Evoe ! I adore Thee, I A O!” We came into each other’s arms with the inevitable- ness of gravitation. We were the only two people in the Universe—she and I. The only force that existed in the Univer…

… over the silly incident as we sat in the train. It doesn’t appear particularly comic in perspective; but it’s very hard to tell, at any time, what is going to tickle one’s sense of humour. Probably anything else would have done just as well. We were on the rising curve. The exaltation of love was combined with that of cocaine; and the romance and adventure of our lives formed an exhilarating setting for those superb jewels. “Every day, in every way, I get better and better.” M. Coué’s now famous formula is the precise intel- lectual expression…

…erely made me curious. I tried, as an experiment, to fix my mind on something definite. I was technically able to do so, but at the same time I was aware that I considered the effort not worth making. I noticed, too, that my thoughts were uniformly pleasant. Curiosity impelled me to fix my mind on ideas which are normally the source of writation and worry. There was no difficulty in doing so, but the bitterness had disappeared. I went over incidents in the past which I had almost forgotten by virtue of that singular mental process which protect…

…hat’s it,” she nodded emphatically. | “ But I say,” said Lou, “ it’s all very well; but I don’t know whatever I’m to do with myself. The time must hang frightfully heavy on your hands.” “God forgive you,” cried Athena. ‘‘ One never has a minute one can call one’s own!” We laughed outright. “It’s easy to see you’re a pupil of King Lamus. You have acquired his talent for paradox in a very complete manner.” **I know what you mean,” she said, smiling. “ If you're a lazy person, this is the worst place in the world for getting bored, and the lazier …

354 The Diary of a Drug Fiend ‘** Love is the law, love under will.” I thrilled again, this time with a combination of surprise and exultation which was curiously unintelligi- ble. Then I saw, in one corner of the room, behind the array of benches and tables crowded with neatly dis- posed apparatus, a glimmering form. The back was turned to us; it was on the floor busily occupied in cleaning up. ‘This is Sir Peter Pendragon,” said Big Lion, “‘ who is coming to take charge of the laboratory.” My eyes were still unaccustomed to the gloom, but I c…

Also be careful to exciude ail possibilities of obtaining the knowledge through the ordinary senses of sight and touch, or even smell. There was once a man whose fingertips were so sensitive that he could feel the shape and position of the pips and so judge the card correctly. 4. It is better to try first the easier form of the experiment, by guessing only the suit. 5. Remember that in 78 experiments yo…

It was the choice between plunging into boiling oil and being splashed with it every day for an indefinite period. Then there was an intermediate method in which the daily amount was reduced by a series of jerks. As Peter said, one was to be sentenced to be flogged at irregular intervals without knowing exactly when. One would be living in a state o…

I found myself repeating the words of the creed. ““T confess my life, one, individual, and eternal, that was, and is, and is to come.’ ”’ Her voice murmured in my ear, ‘‘I believe in the communion of Saints.”

… go to smash on account of his sexual explosions. At last even Los Angeles found him a nuisance. Lydia Yonska had taken pity on him at a time when he was desperately in need of money. He had shown his gratitude by pestering her with his unwelcome attentions, even climbing into her house at night through an open window and scaring her half out of her wits with frantic protestations and threats. She found herself obliged to protect herself. Dartnell wrote me a long letter abusing her. He said that she was a vampire and had tried to seduce him, an…

104 I took Lady Etheldreda to Scotland with me. I have had many dogs in my time; but she was sui generis. I had trained her to follow me on the mountains and she was not only an admirable rock climber but an uncannily prophetic tracker. For instance, I would leave her at the foot of a precipice beyond her powers and, after a climb, descend another precipice to another valley, often in mists so thick that I could not see ten years in any direction. But I would invariably find her at the foot of the rocks after making a detour of perhaps ten mile…

It was here they told me what T.A.R.O. on the ring meant. First it means gate, and it is the name of my Fairy Prince, when you spell it in full letter by letter. There are seventy-eight parts to it, which makes a perfect plan of the whole Palace, so you can always find your way, if you remember to say T.A.R.O. Then you remember I.N.R.l. was on the ring too. I.N.R.I. is short for L.V.X., which means the br…

…we could see that Hermes, with all his unwilling- ness to interfere with other people, was impatient; and we scrambled to our feet. This time, Lou took his hand, and left me to bring up the rear with Dionysus, who poured forth an unending stream of prattle. I could not even hear it; the whole thing was too much for me. We came out on to the terrace of the villa; King Lamus was standing in the open doorway. He had changed his travelling clothes for a silken robe of the brightest blue, with scarlet linings to the hood and sleeves like that of the…

He had sent his Minister of Public works to meet me and entertain me until his return. This gentleman, whose name was Martin, had taken a high degree at Oxford, and had studied science and engineering very thoroughly. No one could have suspected that he had a Bengali grandmother. But in the first twenty-four hours I had discovered the truth of the aphori…

She dropped the sword every time my eye was off her, but I always made her pick it up and do some more damage, till at last she found out that killing falsehoods, never so smiling and so like her idea of herself, did not hurt her, but on the contrary freed her, and she also found that the harder she struck at truth the stronger it stood. So in the end, she learnt the value of the critical spirit and made it one of her regular weapons. Be…

During all this time the Empress had kept up her strength by copious libations of whisky, (which stood in casks at a great height above her head, and trickled down in tubes into her royal mouth, on the same principles as saline injections).
