…us Christ in its mosques, and on the minarets ofa new Santa Sophia let the cross rise in the midst of the crescent !4 Let Mohammed set woman free to give to the true believer the houris which he has so long dreamt of, and let the martyrs of the Saviour teach chaste caresses to the beautiful angels of Mohammed! The whole earth, reclothed with the rich adornments which all the arts have embroidered for her, will no longer be anything but a magnificent temple, of which man shall be the eternal priest.

…s sophistry, and so deeply does his vanity flatter him, that even the most careful revision fails to discover the error. Consequently, humanity is always the prey of deceptions. Think for example of the arguments in favor of vegetarianism. It is impossible to refute them. At the same time they are totally invalid, because they neglect one single, small, but all- important fact: Man is a carnivorous animal. The calibre of Mr. Stuarts mind is such that he is incapable of being of hoodwinked by any mere arguments, however clever, cogent, and co…

THE EQUINOX else in the world but helping humanity. She takes no no- tice whatever of the question of progress through other planets. Geocentricity is a very pathetic and amusingly childish characteristic of the older schools. They are always talking about the ten thousand worlds, but it is only a figure of speech. They do not believe in them as actual realities. It is one of the regular Oriental tricks to exaggerate all sorts of things in order to impress other people with one’s knowledge, and then to forget altogether to weld this particular …

Drugs claim to be every man’s master. ‘Is it such terrible odds— - The heir of ages of wonder, The crown of earth for an hour, The master of tide and thunder _ Against the juice of a flower ?

…they had come, into the fringe of reeds across the lake. And that was all I saw. I remained unable to reply. At this time I was the last man in the world to take anything of the sort seriously; more I was resolved not to do so even {527} at the cost of restraining the theory of sensory hallucination. What struck me dumb was hearing an old shikari tell the story of Excalibur in language so near to that of Malory as to make no odds. Could one of his sahibs have told him the tale long ago, so that it popped up in this strange fashion with me as th…

"They would slip." "They would die." "They were too hungry." --- From the man who hadn't brought food for them! "They were tired" --- and so on. But I got the party off at last and came in a couple of hours to a tomb with a coffin in it. There they sat down and refused to stir. I simply took no notice. My disciple took one camel and I took the other, and went off. W…

…between foolishness and holiness is traditional. It is no sneer that the family nitwit had better go into the church. In the East the madman is believed to be “pos‐ sessed”, a holy man or prophet. So deep is this identity that it is actually embedded in the lan‐ guage. “Silly” means empty‐the Vacuum of Air‐Zero‐”the silly buckets on the deck”. And the word is from the German selig, holy, blessed. It is the innocence of the Fool which most strongly characterizes him. It will be seen later how important is this feature of the story. To ensure the…

THE VIRGIN 81 Such is True Love , whether it be the love of a virgin , a harlot , or a wife . No man -made law , no convention , no ceremony can create it ; for it is spontaneous , anarchic ; few are its children , and still fewer its warriors . All that this lover sees breathes “ Alice ”; all that he hears reverberates with her name ; all that he smells holds the clinging scent of her hair , Alice , Alice , Alice ! He feels she is beyond him ; yet in his ear whispers the Master ; whose power is rapture . I drew a hideous talisman of lust In ma…

The more one discusses with the object of obtaining greater accuracy, the less one believes; every new dogma is a belief which a sect appropriates to itself, and thus, in some sort, steals from universal faith.

The soul of a dead man would, then, not be able to live in the atmosphere of the living, any more than we can live in earth or in water. For an airy, or rather an ethereal, spirit, it would be necessary to have an artificial body similar to the apparatus of our divers, in order that it might come to us. All that we can see of the dead are the reflections which they have left in the atmospheric light, light whose imprints we evok…
