210 The Diary of a Drug Fiend always will be. How was it that she could speak of another woman who loved him without jealousy, and, as things were, without envy? It was true, perhaps, after all, that he had some huge hypnotic power, and held them helpless, filed away like so many letters. But Maisie was bubbling over with energy and joy; it was absurd to think of her as vampirised, as a victim. I asked her about it point-blank. “‘ My dear Lou,” she laughed, ‘‘ don’t be too utterly gaga! My Will is to sing, and Lala’s is to help him in his work—…

…m horribly frightened. I had no appetite at lunch, and Peter wouldn’t eat. He burst out in a hysterical appeal to me, reminded me of our love, and said he couldn’t believe it was all a sham. Why had I gone into the plot to drive him to death? He doesn’t eat, because he thinks the food is poisoned ; and when he saw that I wasn’t eating, it convinced him that I was in the plot against him. I tried to tell him this was all nonsense. I told him that I was not in any plot against him. It didn’t set his mind at ease. I had to tell him my great secret…

…, are the Brothers of the Left Hand Path L These are they who “shut themselves up”, who refuse their blood to the Cup, who hâve trampled Love in the Race for self-aggrandisement. As far as the grade of Exempt Adept, they are en the same path as the White Brotherhood; for until that grade is attained, the goal is not disclosed. Then only are the goats, the lonely leaping mountain-masters, separated from the gregarious huddling vallev-bound sheep. Then those who hâve well learned the lessons of the Path are ready to be torn asunder, to givc up th…

…sing; the very object of ensuring an exact balance in your weapon is that its blow may be clean and certain. You know how all our faults love to disguise themselves as virtues; very often, as what our neighbours call virtues, not what we ourselves think them. We are all ashamed to be ourselves; and this is sheer, stark stultification. For we are ourselves; we cannot get away from it; all our hypocrisies and shams are just as much part of ourselves as what we like to think is the real man. All that we do when we make these pretences is to set up…

They leap as a host With weapons of fire On a desolate coast, Where love is lost And the bitterness clings of fear, and the Hail to ye, hail sadness dogs of desire ! In the hollow vale, Your weapons are lifted against me in vain. Thrice girded with brass, My lyre shall charm ye, Thrice bound with iron, My voice disarm ye, The gate is in three For I am the soul overshadowed of Pillars of gold, pain ! But I will pass (My heart as a lion, Hail to ye, wardens My lyre as a key !) O…

I can’t see the defects in my inamorata. I expect men to be rational, courageous, and to applaud initiative, though an elementary reading of history tells one, with appalling reiteration, how every pioneer has been persecuted, whether it’s Galileo, Harvey, Gauguin, or Shelley ; there is a universal outcry against any attempt to destroy …

… out, and the dogs at feast upon his bowels! Do you know what has saved you so far? Only one [312] bar between you and destruction — the love of your wife, whom you have murdered!" With that Cyril cried aloud three words in a strange tongue, and giving the other no chance to reply, marched rapidly away with his friend. Douglas could not have recovered, in any case. He was as one stunned. How did this boy know of the death of his wife? Well, that might be understood; but how did he know his most secret fear, the fact that since the crime his dem…

The new wife—as I thought she would—followed her husband. They returned to me with the following strange document, and I think Imust warn the reader against a certain feeling of sympathy towards the writer. The wickedness and cruelty with which he carries out his logical tendencies are too repulsive to permit of any sentiment of pity. His sufferings appear to be sim…

Below the Brutes 203 silly story of love at first sight on the spur of the moment. It was just a gambit. And as for me, I loathed the sight of the man, and he knew it. And he knew, too, that I wanted that heroin desperately badly. The real nature of the transaction was as plain as a prison plum-pudding. But I suppose it does amuse one in a sort of way to ape various affected attitudes. He knew that my modesty and confusion and blushes were put on like so much paint on the cheeks of a Piccadilly street- walker. It didn’t even hurt his vanity to …

It is hardly necessary to observe that to do so is the most sublime and awful responsibility which it is possible to assume, and an unworthy person who does so incurs the most terrifie penalties by his presumption. 7.
