69 H. G. Wells has said that "every word of which a man is ignorant represents an idea of which he is ignorant." And it is impossible per- fectly to understand all things unless all things be first known. Understanding is the structuralization of knowledge. All impressions are disconnected, as the Babe of the Abyss is so terribly aware; and the Master of the Temple must sit for 106 seasons in the City of the Pyramids because this coordination is a tremendous task. There is nothing [)articularly occult in this doctrine concerning know- ledge and…

…Crystallised of the gods who swing the wheels Of the worlds in space; and at the heart of thee Shall be the secret knowledge, the sacred Word, The AOTOS of the throbbing Universe. And the years shall pass in myriads over the Tree Whereon thou bloomest, O my Rose o’ the worlds, And one shall pluck thee forth ; and Love and Death Shall lie together, and there shall be born He who shall bear for ever into life The rose-tipped lilies under the silent stars, The silent stars, and the new-blushing roses. O Rose! my Rose o’ the World, my Rose of Roses…

…e sense of time is changed past recognition, Whether he suffer woe or taste of bliss, He loses both his reason and volition. He says one word — what countless ages pass! He walks across the room —— a voyage as far As the astronomer’s who turns his glass On faintest star-webs past the farthest star And travels thither in the spirit. So It seems impossible to me that ever The sands of our ill luck should run so low That splendidly success should match endeavour; Yet it must be, and very soon must be: For I believe in you, and you in me.

99 The Magician cannot wield the Sword unless the Crown is on his head. Those Magicians, who have attempted to make the Sword the sole or even the principal weapon, have only destroyed themselves, not by the destruction of combination, but by the destruction of division/ Weak- ness overcomes strength. The most stable political edifice of history has been that of China, which was founded principally on politeness; and that of India has proved strong enough to absorb its many conquerors." The Sword has been the great weapon of the last century. E…

My soul was hating me. He bade me draw. I silently obeyed. My eye shirked his as blade encountered blade. I was determined he should take my life. “ Went your glance back—encountering my wife ? ” “ Taunt me ! ” I cried ; “ I will not be afraid ! ” My whole soul weary of the coward strife. He seemed to see no opening I gave, But hated me the more. Serene and suave…

Bray it in a mortar, mix with gall and ink, And give it to the children for a drink ! I’ll wait till she is dead, to bring those tears. I doubt not in the garden of my heart Whence she is torn that flowers will bloom again. May those be flowers of weeping, flowers of art. Flowers of great tenderness and pain, Broad lilied meers Lying in a lonely leafless forest Silent and motionless beneath the moon. I feel my weakness, …

Still less of love. For no sweet life of love Lies to my hand, but I am bound by Fate To the strong compulsion of the sword; my lips Shall fasten on my wife’s not much; nor those Pure lips of innocent girlhood that call me Father ; but my lips must wreathe smiles no more, But set in fearful strength of purpose toward The blood of enemies, in horrid …

…and. It was an aristocratic and intellectual movement. John Nelson Darby, a learned man of good family, reasoned thus : The Bible is the Word of God. If its literal interpretation is once abandoned, the whole structure crashes to earth. This it will be seen is identically the Catholic position, save that for “ literal ” Rome reads “ Ecclesiastical.” Darby, too, found himself forced into the practical admis- sion that “ literal ” meant Darbeian ; for some of the more obvious contradictions and absurdities in the Bible are too necessary to the pr…
