…osophy would avoid all these evils. If we close our eyes to the defects of our neighbour, and only consider his good qualities, we shall find good and benevolence everywhere. The most perverse man has a good side to him, and softens when one knows how to take him. If you had nothing in common with the vices of men, you would not even perceive them. Friendship, and the devotions which it inspires, are found even in prisons and in convict stations. The horrible Lacenaire faithfully returned any money which had been lent to him, and frequently act…

…emselves over to the influence of that proud and powerful genius, and when they were softly ravished away over the precipice of death to find life, there it was that they began to exist in a real and natural manner, as is fit for all creatures.” This page needs no commentary, and explains sufficiently the tendencies of what one calls spiritualism, or spevdtism. It is already a long time since this doctrine, or, rather, this antidoctrine, began to work upon the world, to plunge it into universal anarchy. But the law of equilibrium will save us, …

…re is a method of using Ethyl Oxide which enables one (a) to analyse one's thoughts with a most exquisite subtlety and accuracy , (b) to find out-in the French phrase-"what is at the bottom of the bottle." By this they mean the final result of any project or investigation; and this; surprisingly often, is not at all what it is possible to discover by any ordinary means. For instance , one might ask oneself "Do I believe in God?" and, after a vast number of affirmative answers of constantly increasing depth and subtlety , discover with a shock t…

Woe unto them who wear them- selves out to nourish falsehood and to fatten death! for every one will reap the harvest of his own sowing. There are some unquiet and tormented creatures whose influence is disturbing and whose conversation is fatal.

Perfectly trivial things, matches— always using them, always easy to replace them, no matter at all for surprise if one should find one’s box empty; and I don’t admit for one moment that I showed any lack of proportion in the matter. Now don’t bring that moonlight flight to Paris up against me. I admit I was out of gas; but every one knows how one’s occupation with one’s first love affair is liable to cause a temporary derangement of one’s ordinary habits.

31 luminously in focus, I find it very hard to remember the order in which they occurred. There are, moreover, {72} curious contradictions in myself against which I seem always to be stumbling. For example, as late as 1894, I think it must be, I find myself writing hymns of quite acceptable piety. One was published in "The" "Christian;" it began: I am a blind man on a helmless ship Without a compass on a stormy sea. I cannot sink, for God will hold me up, etc. Again, I wrote a poem on the death of my Aunt Ada, which I thought good enough to inc…

No poems are of any great length , no poems here contain a labour on the part of the reader to attain the end , though in some places the labours of Hercules seem insignificant compared with the labours of mental un knotting , but even in such places ( where the sense becomes tangled in the reader's mind ) he loses none of the beauty of rime and rhythm , he never becomes bored , never weary .
