…e a Fear or Hindrance to Men of a Free Race, but the Treasure House of the assimilated Wisdom of the ages, and the Knowledge of the True Way. Thus are we just and wise to Discover this Secret in ourselves, to conform the conscious Mind therewith. For that mind is compact solely (until it be illuminated) of Impressions and Judgments, so that its Will is but directed by the Sum of the shallow Reactions of a most limited Experience. But thy true Will is the Wisdom of the Ages of thy Generations, the Expression of that which hath fitted thee exactl…

… and red, a hurtful avatar, Whose fatal forehead like itself is dun. It was no wonder when the second day Showed me a city on the desert way, Whose brazen gates.were open, where within _ I saw a statue for a sign of sin, And saw the people come to it and pray, Before its mouth set open for a gin. And seeing me, a clamour rose among — Their dwarfish crowds, whose barbarous harsh tongue Grated, a hateful sound ; they plucked me down, And mocked me through the highways of the town, And brought me where they sang to censers swung A grotesque hymn b…

For I am here Half-way I reckon to the field of salt, The pillar, and the bones—it was a fault I am cured of ! praise to God ! What meets mine ear, That every nerve and bone of me cries halt ? What is this cold that nips me at the throat ? This shiver in my blood ? this icy note Of awe within my agonising brain ? Neither of shame, nor love, nor fear, nor pain, Nor anything ? Has love no antidote, Courage no buckler ? Hark ! it c…

…e difficult to imagine, unless one had seen it, all that the privileged class of a small State with limited resources can exhibit in the way of splendour on an occasion of royal solemnity. This was doubly true, first of all by the magic of the luxury displayed, and secondly by the mysterious moral interest which was attached to it.

38 And the worms are gnawing the tissues foul, And the devil is gloating over her soul, ..........Rotting away! Note that the title of this poem is ironical. It is taken from a goody-goody book, popular at that time, which describes the life of traveling barnstormers and how the only hope for them was to be converted. But the irony goes somewhat deeper. It was a genuine criticism of the shallow philosophy of optimism which went with the polite Christianity of the time. I was analysing life in the spirit of Schopenhauer. I couldn't see any sense…

He laughs at all this agony of mine. IIe chills my heart, and desecrates th: shrine Where Love his holy incense used to burn. He mocks those thoughts, those songs, those looks divine While his lewd visage no man may dis- cern,…

…conception becomes more objective as it is developed, so that both Tao and its hidden correlative Teh are formulated in a quite positive way as the Yang and the Yin, which correspond exactly to the Lingam and the Yoni. These being clothed about become the popular symbols of Father and Mother. In the macrocosm they correspond to the Sun and Moon; and, by further descent into matter, are, on the masculine side, Fire and Air; on the feminine side, Water and Earth. The original concept of the Tao as developed by the Teh, is resumed in the name Thâi…

I had not thought the poison left her so— Smiling, enticing, exquisite. I meant Rather that beauty to destroy, to leave No subtle languors on that breast of snow, No curves by God’s caressing finger bent, To bid me think of her: I would deceive My memory—now I can but grieve. Perhaps our happiness, despite of all, Would have grown comelier and never tired; Perhaps the pitiful pale face had been …

There being no way --- no conceivable way --- out of this awful trouble gives that hideous despair which is only tolerable because in the past it has ever been the Darkness of the Threshold.

I have to keep an appointment at midnight; and not only is my watch stopped, but there is no such thing a…

Why should there not be paths connecting the numbers 2 and 5 and the numbers 3 and 4? One cannot answer any of these questions. Who knows “How A got leave an ox to be, No camel, quoth the Jews, like G”. (Browning)? One knows only that this was the conventional arrangement adopted by whoever it was that devised the Tarot. What is worse, it seems very confusing, very annoying; it shak…

… Even in this torture that consumes and taints, We writhe in bliss, one terrible caress Of the great Gods of Hell. Ah! surely, dear, Our way is wise, transcending human woe: We are most happy and of great good cheer. What do we know? It matters net. We know, This is enough, that we have slain the Sphinx, Worked out her wizardry, dissolved her doom; And though her wine be death to him that drinks We shall carouse for ever in the tomb. We drank bull’s blood and all our pangs immense Are better than eupeptic innocence.
