… coldly. Furtively and hurriedly, his glance divided between the forbidden book and the shop-door, his only safeguard from intrusion the thought that nobody who entered would be in a position to throw stones at a fellow—culprit, Theodore Bugg turned over the pages. The book began mildly enough with the winged Victory and only entered the rapids with La Gioconda. Thence, Niagara-like, one plunge to the abyss—the Venus de Milo. The blood flamed to his face; his breath came hot and quick. 53

… without reference to any other motives such as commonly influence action. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy Will. Every thought, word, or act without exception is subject to this law. "Do what thou wilt" does not give license to do anything else; lest this be not understood, the doctrine is here explicit: "Thou hast no right but to do thy will. " Every particle of energy must be built into this single-track machine of will; directly or indirectly, it must serve the one purpose. A very small hole in the hull may sink a very larg…

… grown to it for kin ; Some final leprous growth that took my brain, Weaving a labyrinth of dullest pain From the sweet scarlet threat I thought was sin. I cannot sin ! Alas, one sin were sweet ! But sin is living—and we cannot meet ! So long ago, so miserably long ! I was a maiden—oh how rich and rare Seemed the soft sunshine woven in my hair ! How keen the music of my body’s song ! How white the blossom of my body’s light ! How red the lips, how languorous the eyes, How made for pleasure, for the sleepy sighs Softer than sleep ; amorous dew-d…

66 THE SOUL OF OSIRIS. My thought had thanked him for the generous breath Wherewith he warned us : for delay were death. And now, too late ! no moon is overhead— Some other meaning in the words he saith ? Or, am I tricked in such a little snare ? I lifted up my eyes. What soul stood there, Fronting my path ? Tall, stately, delicate, A woman fairer than a pomegranate. A silver spear her hands of lotus bear, One shaft of moonlight quivering and straight. She pointed to the East with flashing eyes : “ Thou canst not see her—but my Queen shall rise…

…up mine everlasting cliffs I built between my will and my desire. They reach me not ; I made a monstrous crowd, Innumerable monuments of thought, But none is equal; this high head is bowed In vain to the wise God it would have wrought, Had not — Who sitteth on the Holy Throne Thereby must make himself to be alone. II] See! to be God is to be lost to’God. That which I cling to is my proper essence; Nor is there aught at any period That may endure the horror of my presence. I conjure up dim gods; how frail and thin! How fast they slip from this a…

96 Ecstasy overcometh Individuality. XXIV THE BLASPHEMER Hast thou never thought, O Habib of the athletic body, that when thou wrigglest thy velvet buttocks with immense vigour, and bitest hard with thy po- dex-muscle upon the member of El Qahar, that thou hast no remembrance of any circumstance connected with my personality or thine, but art completely absorbed by the act ? It causes me to remember an antient folly and blasphemy spoken to me — Allah purify mine ears ! — by a certain Sufi, who, being excessively drunk, had lost control over his…

…ted ideas there are many. The best is perhaps the method of equilibrium. Get the mind into the habit of calling up the opposite to every thought that may arise. In conversation always disagree. See the other man's arguments; but, however much your judgment approves them, find the answer. Let this be done dispassionately; the more convinced you are that a certain point of view is right, the more determined you should be to find proofs that it is wrong. If you have done this thoroughly, these points of view will cease to trouble you ; you can the…

…Irishman, in judging the amount of Whisky in a bottle in the next room. They had to go in, report, and come back, and tell him what they thought about it. He filled it 50 percent with great accuracy. The Irishman came back fairly cheerful; he rubbed his hands; "Well, there 's half a bottle left, your honour ." When the Scotsman came back his face was full of gloom: "I'm afraid," he says, "that half a bottle has gone." Then the Englishman had his turn. He came in allover smiles, rubbing his hands, and said: "There's not a drop left, so that's th…

…no idea can thus be united, unless it is simple. Hence every idea must be analysed by the Sword. Hence, too, there must only be a single thought in the mind of the person meditating. One may now go on to consider the use of the Sword in purifying emotions into perceptions. It was the function of the Cup to interpret the perceptions by the tendencies; the Sword frees the perceptions from the Web of emotion.
