A soul standing in the lupanar of life , aspiring to grasp the mystic riddle from the chilly lips of the eternal sphinx, salutes us , as we open this frail little volume . Our bodies are not burst asunder as was that of Judas , but our souls are reft and rent , and in the end know not God from Satan , or which of these twain have won . “ All the dream is wrought a spider tapestry ” yet the soul stands on the blood - red field of Aceldama : II.…

…ll this In that one rapture of the kiss I knew, and all creation’s pain Fell into nothing in my brain, As I, remaining man, involved All life’s true purpose, and dissolved The phantoms (of itself create) In a mysterious sweet state, Wherein some tune began to move Whose likeness and whose life was love. Roll, strong life-current of these very veins, Into my lover’s soul, my soul that is! Thrill, mighty life of nerves, exultant strains Triumphant of all music in a kiss | Fade! fade, oh strenuous sense Into the soul intense Of life beyond your we…

The leaves laugh low, and frosty-footed Time Shoulders a lighter burden ; in the dale Some distant notes of lovely music climb, Thrown from the golden-throated nightingale, Pale sobs of love and life With death and fear at strife, Fiercely beset and hardly conquering, When spring’s bright eyes at last Flash through the sullen past, And tune its pain to tears, its peace…

few simple and comprehensive propositions stated in very general terms I might expend a life-time in exploring the details of one plane, just as an explorer might give his life to one corner of Africa, or a chemist to one subgroup of compounds. Each surh detailed piece of work may be very valuable, but it does not as a rule throw light on the main principles of the universe. Its truth is the truth of one angle. It might even lead to error, if some inferior person were to generalize from too few facts. Imagine an inhabitant of Mars who wished to…
