Light, Life, Love; Force, Fantasy, Fire; these do I bring you : mine hands are full of these. 22. There is joy in the setting—out; there is joy in the journey; there is joy in the goal. 23. Only if ye are sorrowful, or weary, or angry, or dis— comforted; then ye may know that ye have lost the golden thread, the thread wherewith I guide you to the heart of the groves of Eleusis. zo

…hereof shineth even unto the earth, and bringeth hope and help to them that dwell in the darkness of thought, and drink of the poison of life. Fifty are the gates of understanding, and one hundred and six are the seasons thereof. And the name of every season is Death.

…Nasty filth about free love or something, isn’t it?) Theodore Bugg was not a sensitive man; excess of intuitive sympathy had not made his life a hell; but he felt that his domestic relations were strained. Especially since “that Mrs. Grahame“ had evinced a liking for Gertrude. Her husband‘s colonelcy was the gilding of the pill; but the pill was a bitter one, for Mrs. Grahame went motoring and even golfing on Sunday instead of going to Church, and once or twice had taken Gertrude with her, to the scandal of the neighbourhood. Colonel Grahame, to…

Life at best Is but a sorry sort of jest ; At worst, a play of fiends uncouth, Mocking the soul foredoomed to pain. In any case, its run must range Through countless miseries of change. So far, no farther, gentle youth ! The mind can see. So much, no more. So runs the premiss major plain ; Identical, the Noble truth First of the Buddha’s Noble Four ! The premiss minor.

The desire of the fanatic is to cast away life at the feet of Heaven ; but for thy podex heaven and life2 together might be thrown away ; and all per- fections of Allah are nor worth one perfection of thy podex.
