…eloved! . . . But the Brethren say sooth. Even Mercury liveth not for ever. [He recites. The light streams stronger through the lamps of sense. Intelligence Grows as we go. Alas: its icy glimmer Shows dimmer, dimmer The awful vaults we traverse. Were the sun Himself the one Glory of space, he would but illustrate The night of Fate. Are not the hosts of heaven in vain arrayed? Their light dismayed * Scherzo: Tschaikowski. 105

… the universal doom ? All swept away into a dusty tomb ! My friend ! who dreamt that dream of Permanence ? Are we exempt from any common sense Was not my fire warm while it burned ? Am I No living lyre because my songs must die ? Is not Becoming Beings twin ? Be mute ! Is Deaths low drumming louder than Lifes lute ? Was I the ass, that fed my body on That crackling grass, long after midnight gone ; Or thou, that shivered all night long for fear The sun delivered no dawn upon the meer ? More, canst thou tell what god may watch thy beacon, Fee…

…o be thine ! I would drink molten gold, and walk on white-hot steel, Once, only once to hold your body, once to feel The annihilation of sense and spirit in your caress, The imminent and intense bolt of your loveliness. MONICA. Well, yours the right reward of love and death. Time calls. Hells master hath toward a banquet in his halls. I am the whirlpools leap wherein the state shall founder Theres many now asleep next week shall slumber sounder.

From thee the wind-borne breezes float: From thee! the secret word, the note On the lips of a dying god, pierced through By the spear of Dawn. Is Dawn still new, Now thou art faded in the gloom ? Now thou art lost in death and doom? I know not yet; nor shall…

…se; and the Universe veils the Soul. Nature understands Herself by becoming self-conscious in Her units; and the Consciousness loses its sense of separateness by dissolution in Her. There has been much difficulty in the orthography (in sacred languages) of these names. Nu is clearly stated to be 56, 1]; but Had is only hinted obscurely. This matter is discussed later more fully; verses 15 and 16. 2. Come! all ye, and learn the secret that hath not yet been revealed. I, Hadit, am the complement of Nu, my bride. I am not extended, and Khabs is th…

… in heaven laughs ; There is rejoicing on the immortal shore. The angels deem us hurled from the above, Burnt out of bliss, blasted from sense and thought, Barred from the beauties of celestial love And branded with the annihilating Naught. O! pallid triumph: empty victory! When we sit smiling on the infernal thrones Starred with our utmost gems of infamy, Builded with tears, and cushioned with the groans Of these the victims of our joys immense — Child! I aspire to that bad eminence! Vil Hell hath no queen! But, o thou red mouth curving In kis…

The first person that I saw in the street was a glazier whose piercing and discordant cry came up to me through the heavy and con- taminated atmosphere of Paris.

I die; I am borne away in misery of dumb life That would in words flash forth the holiest heaven That to the immortal God of Gods is given, And, tongue-tied, stammers forth—my wife ! 4. Iam dumb with rapture of thy loveliness. All metres match and mingle; all words tire; All lights, all sounds, all perfumes, all gold stress Of the honey-palate, all sof…

…God. Foul curses from my life’s envenomed flood Break in a vomit of black foam and blood. IX As one entranced by dint of cannabis, Whose sense of time is changed past recognition, Whether he suffer woe or taste of bliss, He loses both his reason and volition. He says one word — what countless ages pass! He walks across the room —— a voyage as far As the astronomer’s who turns his glass On faintest star-webs past the farthest star And travels thither in the spirit. So It seems impossible to me that ever The sands of our ill luck should run so lo…

…e Psychical Movement in America to bow solemnly before the crude “Teachings” obtained through this evident fraud of a medium? Any common sense man-of- the-world, reading this stuff, would form his own opinions,—for it is plain to see that,—by merely playing upon his vanity, and flattering him to the skies,— this ‘medium’ has managed to ingratiate herself so thoroughly with the noted Pro- fessor, that he has become blind to evidence, to facts, and to common sense. Here are a few typical “Nuggets of Wisdom” from the sittings :— “They are not so c…

…hallucinations. But we here affirm something more than ordinary hallucina- tions. If the images attracted by diseased brains are in some sense real, can they not throw them without themselves, as real as they receive them? These images projected by the complete nervous organism of the medium, can they not affect the complete organism of those who, voluntarily or not, are in nervous sympathy with the medium? The things accomplished by Mr. Home prove that all this is possible. Now, let us reply to those who think that they see in these phenomena …

…o ask the question: How can men of intelligence and learning, perhaps with skill in other lines of research, be driven to accept such nonsense as proof of anything beyond obvious fraud on the part of the “medium”? How can their sense of all that constitutes evidence be so lacking,—their judgment so at fault,—as to accept this drivel as proof of “spirits”? One can form only the opinion—one seems driven to this con- clusion—that it is the “will to believe” which has influenced them in this manner— not the evidence itself, but their own warped and…
