Almost at the same moment the left-hand door was flung violently open, and a furious group of men rushed out of the church.

There are a thousand different wavs of compassing the end proposed, so far as external things are concerned. The whole secret may be summarised in these four words: “Enflame thyself in praying.” 1 The mind must be exalted until it loses consciousness of self.

It has been thought right, nevertheless, to hint at its existence by equat‐ ing the designs of these two cards. Not only therefore, because Libra is a sign of Venus, but be‐ cause she is the partner of the Fool, is the Goddess represented as dancing, with the sugges‐ tion of Harlequin.
