…of heaven or flames of Phlegethon Into his hermit cell, her love entwining Into his life with spells that murmur on Black words! For one thing be you sure the same My wine is as the music of your name! Marden. Believe me, mystic maiden 0’ mine, That title shall assure the throne of heaven To you — the more so that your love divine That maidenhood to me hath freely given? Nor have I touched the ark with hands unholy, Nor with unsaintly kisses soiled the shrine: Nepenthe, amaranth, vervain, myrrh and moly Are deathless blooms about our chaste des…

…Uncle Henry so dearly as all that ? How old were you when your father quarrelled with poor Uncle Henry ? About two and a half ! The only thing you know about poor Uncle Henry is that poor Uncle Henry once tickled your toes. [EUPHEMIA gives a little scream of horror.] Enough humbug about poor Uncle Henry ! . . . Sweetheart ! EUPHEMIA. Mine own ! [They embrace and kiss with great intensity. EUPHEMIA. Unhand me, villain ! . . . But one has to be decent about ones relations. Even the humbug of it is rather fun. CARR.

…theon of Egypto-Christian colour, in fact, the mere bouillon of which my “ Tann- hauser” was the froth. The idea was to do the “ biggest thing ever done in lyrics.” I bound myself by an oath to admit no rhyme unless three times repeated; to average some high percentage of double rhymes—in brief, to perform a gigantic juggle with the unhappy English language. The whole of this first book is techni- cally an ode (! ! !) and was so designed. So colossal an example of human fatuity truly deserves, and shall have, a complete exposure. ! 1 Vide the C…

…hall even put more than the necessary care into the work — as if this were victory and not defeat. "I tell you that you will never do anything yourself, still less anything for others, so long as you rely on women. This victory of the woman's is only the chance resultant of a chaos of emotional states. She's in it for the fun of the thing; she's not even an artist; she's merely the female of the species; and I do not alleviate the situation by one further precision — your species!" "Are women no use? Why were they made?" asked Cyril, angry He d…

O! — O can it be There is a thing that is, apart from me? -- 88 -— VII I travelled; so the star. We neared; we saw Each other, knew each other; in your face Mine equal self with majesty and awe Abode; and thus we stayed for a great space. What was the manner of our countenance?

… that mere exuberance of the former can excite the latter. In other words there is probably some first matter of the work which is not anything we know of as bodily. On my return to London, I must certainly put the matter before more experienced mathematicians, and if possible, get a graphic analysis of the kind in- dicated.] How difficult and expensive it is to get drunk, when one is doing magic ! Nothing exhilarates or otherwise affects one. Oh, the pathos and tragedy of those lines : Come where the booze is cheaper ! Come where the pots hold m…

Love, if I read you, spells a word you know not of. Therefore therein for me the supreme triumph lies. [MONICA hesitates and prays silently. MONICA. My Venice, tis for thee I make the sacrifice.

Yes: Nina was a thing of nought, A little laughing lewd gamine, Idle and vicious, void of thought, Easy, impertinent, unclean— Utterly charming! Yes, my queen! She had a generous baby soul, Prattled of love. Should I control, Repress perhaps the best instinct The child had ever had? I winked At foolish neighbours, did not shrink.

I have to keep an appointment at midnight; and not only is my watch stopped, but there is no such thing as time ... But surely I am not a dead man at thirty! From this date till the first week in February, I was intellectually insane. The actual ordeal is described with intense simplicity and passion in "Aha!" I call it "the Order of the Veil, the Second Veil" and the "Veil of the Abyss". The c…

Surely a monster! some unnatural thing, Some Minotaur of shame, no egg of pride To hatch the miniature of love and spring In your own image, subtly glorified. White swan you were! not Zeus but Cerberus Hath ravished you; you brood on harpy eggs — Sweet sister! is the wine too sour for us? Wehave drunk deep — nay! nay! but to the dregs! And ail their bitterness is braver brew Than the dull syrup of the pious crew.

…other never! (111) I turn to mortal love ; imagining Hath made a world that I may wander in; Where Love sits crowned, a blind and wingéd thing, Winged for delight of roving, blind to sin. This temple of Desire is pure and white, Transparent to the sunlight and the day! Most deeply calm under the star-lit night: Love's lamp guides lonely pilgrims on their way. My staff hath flowered with love’s immortal Rose; And I, that long be excommunicate, At early noon wait till the gates unclose: I loll in the sunshine at the Eastern gate.

…imple Magical Progress. The Next Step for humanity in general was then “ the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel.” One thing at a time. But here he finds himself discussing and disputing with himself the nature of that Knowledge. Better far act as hitherto, and aspire simply and directly, as one person'to another, careless of the critical objec- tions (quite insuperable, of course) to this or any other conception. For as this experience transcends reason, it is fruitless to argue about it. Adonai, I invoke Thee! Simpler, then, …

Yet of course Pranayama, for one thing, has its own definite magical effect, apart from teaching the practitioner that he must last out those three seconds—those deadly long last three seconds—even if he burst in the process.

There will thus be a clear connection in his mind of cause and effect, until he will be just as careful in avoiding this particular act which he has consciously determined, as in those other things which in childhood he has been trained to avoid. Just as the eyelid unconsciously closes when the eye is threatened,^ so must he build up in consciousness this power of inhibition until it sinks below consciousness, adding to his store of automatic…
