…We realised the rashness of our rage. The last thing was to attract attention! We pulled the frowsy old curtains across, and put out the light. The reaction of our reading was terrific. We venomously contrasted the calm confidence of King Lamus with the croaking clamour of the “ authori- ties.’ Cockie summed up the situation with a quota- tion. “Quoth the Raven, ‘ Nevermore!’ ” Our thoughts splashed to and fro like an angry sea in a cave. These three days have been a flux of fugitive

…And I believe in the Serpent and the Lion, Mystery of Mystery, in his name BAPHOMET. And I believe in one Gnostic and Catholic Church of Light, Love and Liberty, the Word of whose Law is 0EAHMA. And I believe in the communion of Saints. And, forasmuch as méat and drink are transmuted in us daily into spiritual substance, I believe in the Miracle of the Mass.

I brought out my indignation again, but its hair got slightly ruffled, and I am not sure but what there was a speck of dust on its collar. I protested violently that I wanted to go to the police. "Well," said Garth, "Curzon and Fraser are busy with the partition of Bengal, for reasons of purely administrative convenience; and it is singularly unfortunate that the measure will break the political power of the Bengali into a lot of dirty little bits. Their hearts b…

…vious chapter. The blow could not shake my soul. For over three weeks I bore the stigmata of my Operation physically. I visibly radiated light. People used to turn in the street to look at me; they did not know what it was, but the impression must have been irresistible. No sooner had this worn off than the enemy struck again at my health. I was obliged to put myself once more in the doctor's hands and go to Bournemouth. I was now thoroughly prepared to take up my Work of initiating mankind, but I was still determined to do it on the old lines.…

Quite suddenly the invisible barrier broke down and Jupiterian phonemena of the most unexpected kind simply rained on us. To mention one incident only; a Brother who had always been desperately poor suddenly came into a fortune and insisted on contributing five hundred pounds to the use of the Order. I must mention one incident of the Paris working as being of general interest, outside technical Ma…

Yet the city clerk does not wonder; for he knows well enough—too well ever to notice it—that the houses he is speeding by are built of brick and mortar, constructed on geometric and architectural plans, connected by streets and roads, by gas and water pipes, and by drains; each a micro- cosm in itself, regulated, ruled and ordered by codes, customs and…

He is the living thought of Love's eternal might, God manifest in flesh, the Action of the Light, Desired in every place and every period, But not a God that one may separate from God. Descended among men to free the earth from fate, He in His mother did the woman consecrate. He was the man whom heaven’s sweet wisdom did adorn ; To suffer and to die as men do He was born. Proscribed by ignorance, accused by envy and strife, He died upon the cross that He might give us life. All who accept His aid to…

It was the vision of Satan disguised as an angel of light. ‘* Yes, indeed, the whole affair is eminently gratifying from every point of view,” answered Platt. ‘“‘ Never in all my life have I been permitted to see with such luminous ‘clarity the designs of providential loving- kindness.” ‘Alas! my dear Mr. Platt,” I replied gloomily, as the stage directions seemed to indicate, ‘‘ I am a very young and ignorant man, and I am unable at present to see any part for …

…Pass shortly after nightfall. There was a bright moon, but I had a terrible time picking my way down the path. I must have been a little light-headed from exhaustion and there was a Dantesque quality in the long climb among the blinding white patches of light and the jetty shadows. At the bottom of the pass I met a small rescue party who had just started out to look for me, and reached home about eleven o'clock. It was, in its way, a remarkable performance of a boy. Another incident is less heroic but more amusing. My tutor had invited his sist…

The two females, truly, shrank from me, but my senses were speaking in a rough way. They sat at the other end of the oasis; and looked on with wide-open eyes of delight as the two sweet and scented plants continued to grow. I could not detach my sight from the girls, and for the first time my ear did not perceive the music of the two compartments. It seemed …

…I contradict him ? A buoyant billow of bliss bounded in my brain. It might not be true; but, by God, we’d make it come true. I suppose a light leapt in my eyes, and enabled him to read my thought. Respice finem! Judge the end; The man, and not the child, my friend!” he quoted gaily. And then, to my absolute blank amazement, he took me back into the studio, got a bottle of heroin from the cedar cabinet and shook out a small quantity on to a scrap of paper. He twisted it up, and put it in my hand. “Don’t be surprised,” he laughed, “‘ your face te…

In such a circle humbug could not live. Men of high intellectual distinction, passing through Paris, were constant visitors at the Chien Rouge. As guests they were treated with high honour ; but woe to the best of them if some chance word let fall led D . . . or L . . . to suspect that he had a weak spot somewhere ! When this happened, nothing could save him : he wa…
