…arlet. He had a very serious face, and accosted us with a military salute :— “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law,” said the little fellow stoutly, and held out his hand. “I’ve come to take you up to the Abbey.” Even Lou realised that it was quite impossible to pick up such an important little person and kiss him. We entered into the solemnity of the occasion with proper dignity, and got up and shook hands. Then, running down behind him, came an even smaller boy. “‘ Love law, love will,” he said. It was obviously a point of politene…

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING brain reels before such a conception. And the human brain of the Master of the Temple is but little more fitted to under- stand this in his life as a man than if he had never entered on the Path at all. For the Ego has been totally destroyed, and he has nothing wherewith to bind together these things. He is not any of these things, for there is no He. Those things are. And of the results of this, and of how it may bear upon the question of his advancement to the Grade of Magus, who can say? It is not the Master of…

Worse, one must finish every course. ’S truth, I had rather eat boiled horse! IV. My first friend was an agéd monk, He fed on rice and water. Sunk His cheeks and cold his blood.

Your kindly love for little girls And ardour for the fine old faith Makes all that past a wisp, a wraith. You patronise our Sunday schools, Pronounce on Grammars darkest rules, Rebuke bad taste, irreverence, Heresy, humbug, and pretence. Your tepid verses come like boons To cheer Suburban afternoons ; While Asquith, were he only wise, Would bid a Board of Morals rise ; Sure no one like yourself can be Past-Master in Virginity. St…

Skeat seems to connect it with hills, swellings, boils, the maternal breast; is that reason enough for us to connect it with the idea of advantage, or-'superiority' merely translates it into Latin!-worth, or-no, it's really too difficult. Of course, sometimes it has a "bad" meaning, as of temperature in fever; but nearly always it implies a condition preferable to "low. " …

…267 We drove back to London, and had tea on the way in a cottage where the people seemed to know our friends very well. It was kept by a little old man and his wife who had the air of being family retainers. The cottage stood well away from the road in grounds of its own. Two mighty yew trees stood one on either side of the gate. Lala told us that the place belonged to the Order of which King Lamus was the head, and that he occasionally sent people down here for certain parts of his training which could only be carried out in solitude and silen…

I have travelled all over the world in all conditions, from "grand seigneur," to "holy man"; how little I know! What then of the ninety-and-nine, dragged by the ears through suicide examinations, and kicked out of school into factory in their teens? They have learnt only just enough to facilitate the swallowing of the gross venal lies of the radio and the Yellow Press; or, if mother-wit has chan…

I felt that his voice was the voice of a prophet. I felt myself already saved. “You take some of this,”’ he went on, bringing a white tablet from a little cedar cabinet, and a big glass of cold water. ‘“‘ Throw your head back, and get it well down, and drink all this right off.

… It’s this way, my dear Sir Peter. The workings of Providence are indeed strange. Just before the passing of my Act, I had invested what little fortune I possessed in the purchase of a Cocaine Factory in Switzerland, with the intention of putting an end to its nefarious activities. Now here is an instance of what I can only refer to with reverent gratitude as the Moving of the Divine Finger.

Suppose we relax a little, come down to earth, and look at what the far-famed morality of the Holy Man was, and is, in actual practice. You will find this useful to crush Toshophist and Anthroposophagist cockroaches as well as the ordinary Christian Scolex when they assail you.
