THE EQUINOX 89. On Sowan’s Path, O Srotapatti, thou art secure. Aye (), on that Marga, where nought but darkness meets the weary pilgrim, where torn by thorns the hands drip blood, the feet are cut by sharp, unyielding flints, and Mara wields his strongest arms—there lies a great reward imme- diately beyond. It is not at all clear to what stage of the Path this refers. In verse 91 it appears to refer to the Dhyana Path, but the Dhyana Path has been described in entirely different terms in verses 71 to 73, and it is certainly a quite bad descrip…

… here is best interpreted thus, for it is in opposition to “Maya.” To interpret illusion is to make confusion more confused. 20. If thou art told that to become Arhan thou hast to cease to love all beings—tell them they lie.

CHAPTER II OVER THE TOP! It was only about a quarter of an hour before we reached “The Dog’’; but the time passed heavily. I had been annexed by the white maggot. Her presence made me feel as if I were already a corpse. It was the limit. But I think the ordeal served to bring up in my mind some inkling of the true nature of my feeling for Lou. The Smoking Dog, now ingloriously extinct, was a night club decorated by a horrible little cad who spent his life pushing himself into art and literature. The dancing room was a ridiculous, meaningless, g…

I worship Thee!” With supreme force she cried out upon the God ; she tore at her beautiful flesh with her fingers; she writhed upon the fur; words of dreadful passion bubbled at her lips; her mouth was like a raging sea of blasphemy ; she moaned and struggled, torn by some internal force even as a woman in childbirth; she sank back into black silence, exhausted, numb.

… imagery and the aptness and the transfiguring power of the rhythms.”—New York Nation. Mr. G. K. Chesterton also writes a_column and a quarter in praise of this book in the Daily News; we quote the following: ‘“To the side of a mind concerned with idle merriment [sic!] there is certainly something a little funny in Mr. Crowley’s passionate devotion to deities who bear such names as Mout, and Nuit, and Ra, and Shu, and Hormakhou. They do not seem to the English mind to lend themselves to pious exhilaration. Mr. Crowley says in the same poem: ‘Th…
