So then if thy wilt live wisely, learn that thou must establish this Relation of Balance with every Thing soever, not omitting one. For there is nothing so alien from thy Nature that it may not be brought into harmonious Relation therewith; and thy Stature of Manhood waxeth great even as thou comest to the Perfection of this Art. And there is nothing…

…s as in Art, there is always so much more possible that one can never be satisfied Much less, then, satiatedl . Having gone back into the life of the world—yet a world transfiguredI—I did all my little work, my little amusements, all the things that one does, very quietly and beatifically. About 10.30 the rapture began to carry me away; yet I withstood it and went on with my game of Billiards, for politeness’ sake. And even there in the Café du Dome was the glory within me, and I therein; 50 that every time that I failed at a stroke and stood up a…

The Order teaches the only perfect and satisfactory system of philosophy, religion, and science, leading its mem- bers step by step to knowledge and power hardly even dreamed of by the profane. 66.

…that I sometimes aspire as if to an unknown happiness, to a certain fourth de- gree, whose stigma should be perfect calm; but, during my life, except at the age of Chérubin, I have been more sensitive than anyone else in the world to the enervating foolishness, the irritating mediocrity of women. What I love above all in animals is their frank- ness; judge them, what I must have suffered with my last mistress. She was a princes bastard. Beautiful, it goes without saying; without that, why should I have taken her? But she spoilt that great qua…
…ained ones bound to me without escape ! Oh, doom of God! Oh, brand how worse than Cain’s ! Divided being, undivided pains ! What is this life 2 No inch throughout all time.) ness Too weak and hateful to be called distress? Slow memory working backward only knows There was some horror grown to it for kin; Some final leprous growth that took my brain, Weaving a labyrinth of dullest pain From the sweet scarlet thread I thought was sin. I cannot sin! Alas, one sin were sweet ! But sin is living—and we cannot meet ! (To call it life that grows This …
…ice Us who were forced—we, Laylah now and then To bathe our bodies in the vats of vice? Why is our heaven so critical a point ? Why does life tremble on so tense a string? Why should so rare an oil as ours anoint ‘The brazen brows of a usurping king?

Self-gratulation, O Disciple, is like unto a lofty tower, up which a haughty fool has climbed. Thereon he sits in prideful solitude and unperceived by any but himself. Develops this: but, this treatise being for beginners as well as for the more advariced, a sensible commonplace rea- son is given for avoiding pride, in that it defeats its own object. 16. False learning is rejected by the Wise, and scattered t…
92 AMBERGRIS All the concentred music that is I. O ! hear me not ! I die ; I am borne away in misery of dumb life That would in words flash forth the holiest heaven That to the immortal God of Gods is given, And, tongue-tied, stammers forthmy wife ! 4. I am dumb with rapture of thy loveliness. All metres match and mingle ; all words tire ; All lights, all sounds, all perfumes, all gold stress Of the honey-palate, all soft strokes expire In abject agony of broken sense To hymn the emotion tense Of somewhat higherO ! how highest !than all Thei…

The Tree of Life, as usual, affords a convenient means of classification. 1. To the physical side of it physiological laws apply.
