…ed at for a liar. If this be our last meeting, we are quits. You will be taken to a little chapel leading from this room. There you will find a circle, which you must enter, being careful not to touch it, even with your dress; for that would be dangerous. Within that circle you must remain until we send for you, unless you wish to leave, in [92] which case you have only to pass through the white curtains in the north. You will find yourself in a lighted passage; open the dooor at the end, you will be in the street, where my automobile awaits yo…

…ose who advise the poor to make them- selves slaves, and those who persuade them that they are all dethroned monarchs. You will then not find it surprising that I was in a state of mind approximating to giddiness or stupor. It seemed to me, only, that I felt, cooped up at the bottom of my intellect, the obscure germ of an idea superior to all the motherly formulas whose dictionary I had been skim- ming. But it was only the idea of an idea; a thing infinitely vague. So, feeling very thirsty I went out, for the passion for reading bad books beget…

… THE SPIRIT. ‘¢ A fool also is full of words.” Ecclesiastes. DEDICATION To J. L. BAKER. THE vault of purple that I strove To pierce, and find unchanging love, Or some vast countenance! above All glory of the soul of man, Baffled my blind aspiring gaze With sunlight’s melancholy rays, And closed with iron hand the ways That sunder space, divide the days with fiery fan. Thine was the forehead mild and grave That shone throughout the azure nave Where Monte Rosa’s silence gave The starry organ’s measured sound. Where for an altar stood the bare Mas…

… observatory, where she had been shown the corona of the sun. And then, instinctively, she looked for Cyril Grey. But all that she could find of him was the green-veiled glory that surrounded the sphere of Brother Onofrio; and she understood that this was a mere projection of part of his personality. Himself she could not find. He should have been the core of all, the axis on which all swung; but she could feel nothing. Her intuition told her, in a voice of cogency beyond contradiction, that he was not there. She began to argue with herself, to…

18 Introduction I love when I love my God ; and yet in this love I find light ; an inner voice, a perfume, a savour, an embrace of a kind which does not leave the inmost of myself. There in the depths of the soul glows something which is not in space : there a word is heard which has no syllables : thence there breathes a perfume which no breezes waft away : there food is always savoured and never eaten : there are embraces which never ask to end...” 3.

Across the city, as in closèd meres, Making the pavements isles, it disappears ; In it all creatures’ thirst relief hath found ; All nature in its scarlet hue is drowned. I have often prayed these fickle wines to weep For one day Lethe on my threatening fear— Wine makes the ear more sharp, the eye more clear. I have sought in Love forgetfulness and sleep— My love’s a bed of needles made to pier…

…Stronger than earth, than the immortal kings Alike of death and life: invoke the sea That I may cross her on the viewless wings Of song, find out the desolating river That girds the earth, unloose the silver quiver, Choosing an arrow of sharp song to run Down to the waters that lament for ever :—. And cleave them! That my song’s insistent spell Rive the strong gates of iron-builded hell, And move the heart of the ill-hearted one. Yea! let me break the portals terrible, 154

And, when I do so, I find you at the beginning like Ladas or Pheidippides of old, running —ready to run until you achieve the goal or your heart burst; but you are among a crowd. I join you. Eight years ago this day you, Hermes, led me blindfold to awake a chosen runner of the course. ‘In all my wanderings in darkness your light shone before me though I knew it not.’ To-day (one may almost hope, turning into the straight) you and …

…e. Love weeps, then turns its soul to stone. All nearest, highest, holiest things Drop off; the soul must lose her wings, And, crippled, find, with no one clue The infinite maze to travel through, The goal unguessed, the path untrod, And stand unhelmed, unarmed, unshod, Naked before the Unknown God. Oh! stertorous, oh! strangling strife That cleaves to love, that clings to life! The Will is broken, falls afar Extinct as an accurséd star. The Self, one moment held behind, Whirls like a dead leaf in the wind Down the Abyss. The soul is drawn To t…
