somewhat stupid, too, as his main claim is that the body is only an illusion!" "Am I right in suggesting that ordinary life is a mean between these extremes, that the noble man devotes his material wealth to lofty ends, the advancement of science, or art, or some such true ideal; and that the base man does the opposite by concentrating all his abilities on the amassing of wealth?" "Exactly; that is the real distinction between the artist and the bourgeois, or, if you prefer it, between the gentleman and the cad. Money, and the things money can …

The altar flames with glowing charcoal, and a thin steam of incense arises. Rupua and Criospa are in front, R. Two priests minister ; @ goodly crew of choristers intone low litanies. A few young folk are at @ sort of barrier by the footlights (centre) in prayer. An old woman enters and brings an offering of flowers, which the priests re- ceive and cast before the throne. Rupna motions Criospa to be sile…

Your lips are like the poppies in the garden! Your face is like a wreath of flowers to crown me! Your eyes are wells wherein I long to drown me! Your hair is like a waterfall above me, A waterfall of sunset! In your bosom I hear the racing of a heart to love me. Your blood is beating like a wind-blown blossom With rapture that you mingle it in mine! Your breath is fresh as foam and…

The Winged Beetle

…abysses, I trace the incommensurable curve. Thy foursquare wedge that rages in my circle shall match it at the infinite period. Polluted body, violated spirit, corrupted soul, stunned brain and tortured nerve :— These merge into thy bloody maw, Echidna, that shall emerge the lone white flame of God.

The dispersion of the original secret wisdom having led to confusion, it was determined by the Chiefs of all these Orders to recombine and centralize their activities, even as white light, divided in a prism, may be recomposed. It embodies the whole of the secret knowledge of all Or…

God ! will they still lust after me in Hell ? But this is Hell ! Aha ! if you were me, Blind staring cripple yonder, you should see Whether I lie ! A cripple are you then ?

Her body passion-pearled Dreams her luxurious lips have drawn My spirit, as the dust wind-whirled Sucks up the radiance of the dawn In rainbow beauty 1—yet remains Mere dust upon the barren plains. Reluctance to reveal my grief Is of my sickness a strange feature. Yea, verily ! beyond belief Is the machinery of man’s nature ! If thus spake Solomon in kind Of body, I of soul and mind !
