Upon these I dis- course fluently, so that at last the guests are weary. Only last night I was bidden by Yusuf,2 that ill- conditioned3 bastard ! to hide my head therein, if so I loved it ; adding that, thanks to the Qazi, there would be no difficulty in performing the task.

He loves to triumph over hate, but the lukewarm He spueth forth from His mouth. Duty is to live, were it but for an instant! It is fine to have reigned for a day, even for an hour! though it were beneath the sword of Damocles, or upon the pyre of Sardanapalus !

Now no Man doubteth the Power of the Will of Man, whether it be his love that begetteth Children or causes wars wherein many Men be slain, whether it be his Eloquence that moveth a Mob or his Vanity that destroyeth a People. Only in all such Cases we understand how Nature worketh, through known Laws physical or psychical. That is, there is a State of unstable Equilibrium, so that one Machine setteth another in Motion as soon as the first Disturbance ariseth. Therefore, it is n…

Life , death , joy , sorrow, age and youth Are phantoms of a further truth . This is but the chant of the Brahmin and the Buddhist as it has risen and fallen over the East for hundreds and thousands of years .

Even as a serpent in the grass their passion stole upon them there Within the warm ambrosial air, the intoxicating midnight mass.
