…beseech you, these sectarian differences, and combine to declare me at least Anathema Maranatha. 602. Pangs of Death.70—Dr. Maudsley de- mands a panegyric upon Death. It is true that evolution may bring us a moral sense of astonishing delicacy and beauty. But we are not there yet. A talented but debauched Irishman has composed the following, which I can deplore, but not refute, for this type of man is probably more prone to repro- duce his species than any other. He called it “Summa Spes.” I. Existence being sorrow, The cause of it deisre, A me…

… by the ordinary passions and y ield to such majesty as his own. “But one day there came into the jungle a strange wild figure. He was a man dressed in the weird Tibetan fashion. He had red robes and hat, and thought dark things. He whirled a pray er-wheel in his hands; and ever as he went he muttered the mystic words ‘Aum Mani Padme Hum.’ 1 The parrot, who had never heard hum an speech, tried to mimic the old Lama, and was amazed at his success. Pride first seized the bird, but it was not long before the words had their own effect, and it was …

…vicious kind. She had been married and divorced, remarried and widowed by the war. In her childhood an accident had damaged her brain permanently so that its functions were discontinuous, and she had not mended matters by taking to cocaine at the age of about twenty. After some years of addiction, she found herself using a quarter of an ounce or more daily. She suddenly took fright and cured herself by switching over, first to injections of morphia, and then to plain alcohol. She made no secret of this, and I admired her immensely for her frank…

I must admit that I don't know of much else in England of the works of man which I would not make haste to destroy if the opportunity occurred. But Trinity, except New Court and Whewell's Court, is enough for nay poet to live and die for. I remember being amazed in later years when my patriotism was doubted. I wasn't going to have "Eintritt Verboten" put up over the Great Gate with a Prussian sentry to enforce it. I am perfectly aware that I am irrational. The traditions of Engla…

THE EXCLUDED MIDDLE; OR, THE SCEPTIC REFUTED A DIALOGUE BETWEEN A BRITISH MAN OF SCIENCE AND A CONVERTED HINDU [This absurdity is a parody upon the serious essay which follows. It is an exceedingly characteristic trait that Crowley himself should have insisted upon this order, and a severe strain upon the devoted band who try to force themselves to study him. The notes are, of course, Crowley’s throughout. . To elucidate the allusions would require a note to nearly every phrase. The fact seems to be that any one with universal knowledge at the …

But the London press refused to publish my article. One editor told me that it was a shame to "crab" the expediton, and that my warnings would give pain to the relations of the party! No, better wait until the accident had happened, and then it would be interesting to point out why it had happened. Of course that is the journalis…

…. Meditation is then the means; but only the supreme means. The agony column of the 7zmes is the supreme means of meeting with the gentleman in the brown billycock and frock coat, wearing a green tie and chewing a straw, who was at. the soirée of the Carlton Club last Monday night; no doubt! but this means is seldom or never used in the similar contingency of a cow- elephant desiring her bull in the jungles of Ceylon.

… White to play P Q 4 in reply to Q B 3. In 1885 Alick was removed from St. Leonards to a school kept by a Plymouth Brother, an ex- clergyman named H. d'Arcy Champney, M.A. It is a little difficult to explain the boy's psychology at this period. It was probably determined by his admiration for his father, the big, strong, hearty leader of men, who swayed thousands by his eloquence. He sincerely wished to follow in those mighty footsteps and so strove to imitate the great man as best he might. Accordingly, he aimed at being the most devoted follo…

…isan. But I had an ingrained hatred for the Hanoverian usurper and took for granted what I still believe to have been the fact, that the man who cheated was not Gordon-Cumming. Of the second poem I retain: Poor lady! whom a wicked jury's hate In face of facts as iron as the grave To which they would have doomed thee -- bitter fate! Thee guiltless to the cruel hangman gave. Shame on the judge who sees but half the facts! Shame on the nurse who private letters opes! But never shalt thou be forgot by us, The pity of thy life's so blasted hopes.
