THE DOCTRINES OF BUDDHISM Having sat for seven long years under the Bédhi tree Gotama opened his eyes and perceiving the world of Sam- sara* exclaimed: “Quod erat demonstrandum!” True, he had attained to the spotless eye of Truth and had become Buddha the Enlightened One; he had entered the Nothing- ness of Nibbdna,j and had become one with the Uncreated and the Indestructible. And now he stood once again on the shore line of existence and watched the waves of life roll landwards, curve, break and hiss up the beach only to surge back into the o…

… his arrival in the village where Ljubov lived, he noticed the child and her marvellous beauty. For hours, having retired to the house belonging to a rich lady whose guest he was, he drivelled, with before him the enrapturing vision of Ljubov’s priceless jewels. He proceeded carefully; made friends with all the children; and, the seventh day having come, he met her outside the village, by chance— so she thought—and made her a present of a few trifling ornaments. Then he placed over his own eyes two empty shells of walnut, and pretended to play …

Now then in my dear Love of thee will I reveal this Secret of Wisdom which I wrote occultly in my last Chapter, in these Words: All Things Exist. Considered by right Under- standing, this is to deny that there is anything imaginable or unimaginable which doth not exist. That i…

I had so much pleasure in this that I should have gone on for quite a long time if I had not been afraid, afraid of her waking up, and afraid too of I do not know what. Afterwards I pushed my head among her hair, which hung down her back as thick as a mane, and it smelt as nice, I assure you, as the flowers in the garden do now. Try, when you get a chance, to do as much as I, and you will see. The young author of this prodigious disclo- sure, as he told his story, had his eyes …

… mine and notice the lusciousness of the lines. I also wrote a one-act play The Saviour. The main idea of this had been in my mind for a long while as a presentation of irony. The council of a city in the extremity of despair invoke a long-expected saviour. He appears to their rapturous relief but turns out to be the enemy they feared in his most {767} frightful form. I elaborated this theme by introducing episodes where they are given a chance to escape. They throw this away for the sake of the saviour. The poignancy is further increased by va…

The concertina, falling to the floor, squeezed its air out with a long-drawn, plaintive sigh, from which an onomatopoeiomaniac Platonist who had read Cor- nelius Agrippa and Paracelsus would certainly

The vice-consul was sitting on a sofa in the background. With his head on one side, he shot a keen fixed glance out of his languid eyes, and bit his thumbnail persis- tently, as if in a state of extreme nervous perplexity. I was swept by a feeling of complete humiliation. It was a transitory feverish flush; and it left me more exhausted than ever. The…

I went long walks in the moun- tains, where my tutors could not follow me, and where delightful peasant girls could and did follow me — God bless them ! One day I had a difference of opinion with a tutor, in the course of which he fell from a rock into a loch (whose name I forget) near Forsinard. Memory fails to recall the actual cause of dispute ; but I think I had thrown his fishing-rod into the loch, and thought t…

As a matter of fact the longevity of the vulture is due to its twisted neck, and many thought- ful persons propose to experiment on Professor Metchnikoff. But the worst of all phantasms are the moral ideas and the religious ideas. Sanity consists in the faculty of adjusting ideas in proper proportion. Any one who accepts a moral or reHgious truth without understanding it is only kept out of th…
