…sset leaves go grey, And sombre loves and sober Make twilight of the day. Dark dreams and shadows tenser Throb through the vital scroll, Man's soul. Lift, shake the subtle censer That hides the cruel coal ! 36
The Peace, the Jealousy, and the Ecstasy of God. 83 6. For the use of the refrain the reader may consult any manual on Persian prosody. El Haji has made several innovations. 7. How beautiful and touching are these si- miles ! No artifice, so straining of the metaphor is involved ; the poet rests in calm and beatific certi- tude of “ a good death, and a joyful resurrection in His holy kingdom ! ” Yet there is no false piety, no arrogance ; and like every straight-living man, he is capable of honest laughter, almost in the same breath.
…men always act on certain fundamental principles which they carry out, well or ill, within wide limits; those limits being exceeded, the man is not a man "within the meaning of the act" and the Law cease to apply to him. For instance, we feel safe in acting on the assumption that a man will not walk into a blazing house, and we make no law to punish any such action. We assume that a man always acts in what he believes to be his own best interest. The conduct of Godwin was irrational, his motive had no logical link with his actions. It is theref…
…ngs Sin, vast vampire, the corrupt, that swings Her unredeeming wings Over the world, and flaps for lust of Death —and Love! VENUS. This man was drained of music! Five new songs Chase the three ancient to oblivion! Oh! Love is grown fury! TANNHAUSER. Kall me! VENUS. In the kiss. [TANNHAUSER Sleeps, ACT III. For Love is lord of truth and loyalty, Lifting himself out of the lowly dust On golden piumes up to the purest sky, Above the reach of loathly sinful lust, Whose base affect through cowardly distrust Of his weak wings dare not to heaven fly,…
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF HASHISH “I,” he says, “define Phenomena as changeful and Atman the Noumenon as without change. When challenged, I merely retort by distinguishing between Atman and Paramat- man. You say the same, but for Atman you say ‘ Nibbana.’” The Buddhist can only retort, rudely enough: There is no Atman; and there is Nibbana. The Hindu probably mutters something about criticism of Nibbana having forced some Buddhists to a conception of Parinibbana, simply but neatly defined as That to which none of the criticisms apply! Yet Atman and Nib…
…iacre, they jumped in and clattered down towards the Seine. Roderic sat well back in the carriage, a little lost in thought. But the old man sat upright, and peered eagerly about him. Once he stopped the cab suddenly at a house with a low railing in front of it, well set back from the street, jumped out, examined it minutely, and then, with a sigh and a shake of the head, came back, a little wearier, a little older. They crossed the Seine, rattled up the Rue Bonaparte, and stopped at the door of Roderic’s studio. II LA RUE DES QUATRE VENTS “ Ah…

Men of a similar turn of mind exist in Russia, and I want you to concentrate your mind upon such a man, albeit his bargains cost him even less, and were of a more physical reality.

…ur Lady of Sorrow, hear thine handmaiden of sin ! Our Lady of Peace, be near, bestow thy peace within ! If I have sought the hurt of any man, forgive ! If I have soiled my skirt with even a fugitive Faint thought of evil, cleanse my heart and soul thereof, As thou dost heal all mens misdeeds with eager love. Our Lady of Vigilance, behold me ! I am weak. My lifes inheritance to take there are those that seek. There are evil men that hunt me to destroy meThou When they arise, confront them, hear thy virgins vow. Forgive them, even as I throug…
…st phase thought him easily hoodwinked. The second of the guests of Simon Iff, or, rather, of the Order to which he belonged, was a tall man bowed with ill-health. A shock of heavy black hair crowned a face pallid as death itself; but his eyes blazed formidably beneath their bushy brows. He had just returned from Burma, where he had lived for many years as a Buddhist monk. The indomitable moral valour of the man shone from him; one could see in every gesture the marks of his fierce fight against a dozen deadly sicknesses. With hardly a week of …
[62] CAPITULUM IX The secret of Leilas affection for me, said the good old man, withdrawing his dripping jiggling- bone from a six months kid spoilt by a sound, and inserting it in the still warm bowels of a still-born baby, was to be found in her fondness for the rapid and accurate repetition of the act of love. This I could supply, as you may imagine from my previ- ous story ; so we lived together in perfect harmony. Every month when her courses came on I revelled with peculiar lust in the miry bloodiness of her dearest bodily part. I would…
… with its Cycle, and give place To other beings, with their own time-doom Infinite aeons ere our kind began ; Infinite æons after the last man Has joined the mammoth in earth’s tomb and womb. We bow down to the universal laws, Which never had for man a special clause Of cruelty or kindness, love or hate : If toads and vultures are obscene to sight, If tigers burn with beauty and with might, Is it by favour or by wrath of fate ? All substance lives and struggles evermore Through countless shapes continually at war, By countless interactions interk…

… waters of Death fight strenu- ously against me. I pass unto the Waters beyond Death and beyond Life. 57. How shall I answer the foolish man? Inno way shall he come to the Identity of Thee! 58. But I am the Fool that heedeth not the Play of the Magician. Me doth the Woman of the Mysteries instruct in vain; I have burst the bonds of Love and of Power and of Worship. 59. Therefore is the Eagle made one with the Man, and the gallows of infamy dance with the fruit of the just. 60. I have descended, O my darling, into the black shining waters, and I…

The Higher and Lower Selves are made One. It is that One whose further progress from Tiphareth to Binah is now to be described. 38. Ere thou canst near that goal, before thine hand is lifted to upraise the fourth gate’s latch, thou must have mastered all the mental changes in thy Self and slain the army of the thought sensations that, subtle and insidious, creep un…
KE®AAH NO THE TAILLESS MONKEY There is no help—but hotch pot !—in the skies When Astacus sees Crab and Lobster rise. Man that has spine, and hopes of heaven-to-be, Lacks the Amoeba’s immortality. What protoplasm gains in mobile mirth Is loss of the stability of earth. If, as Iam not, I were free to choose, How Buddhahood would battle with The Booze! My certainty that destiny is ‘*good”’ Rests on its picking me for Buddhahood. Were I a drunkard, I should think I had Good evidence that fate was ‘‘bloody bad.”
