…Too busy with my work to lie, Or love lie’s prize—or work's, forsooth !— Too strong to care which way may go The ensuing history of woe, Though I were jaw, and you were tooth ; So, more concerned with seeking sense Than worried over consequence, I'll speak, and you shall hear, the truth. 14
…ould serve to stimulatemy devotion. For the information of the Z.A.M., I may explain that this ritual pertained to Saturn in Libra; and, though right enough in its own plane, is a dog— faced demon in this operation. Is it, though? I am so blind that I can no longer decide the simplest problems. Else, I see so well, and am so balanced, that I see both sides of every question. In chess-blindness one used to abjure the game. I never tried to stick it through ; Iwish Ihad. Anyhow, I have to stick this through I O Lord of the Eye, let thine Eye be e…
8.53. 9.30. JOHN ST. JOHN That, though, was only a young mild devil, though of the same bad brood. It said: "Is there any Path or Attainment? Have you been fooled all along ? " But to-night‘s thought struck at my own integrity, at the inmost truth of the soul and of Adonai. As I said, there is no answer to it; and as these seven days have left me fairly master of the fortress, I caught him young, and assigned him promptly to the oubliette. I put down this—not as a “ pose "—but because the business is so gigantic. It encourages me immensely; for…
…firmly stablished them in order and disposition, 10. He proclaimed the perfection, the bride, the delight of God in His creation. II. But though thus he worked, he tried ever his work by the Star 418. 12. And it deceived him not; for by his subtlety he expanded it all into the Twelve Rays of the Crown. 13. And these twelve rays were One.
…e could not pull the trigger. This must have gone on for some time; his agony of failure was awful; {or he knew that he was failing; but though he cried a thousand times unto Adonai with the Voice of Death, he could not—he could not. Again and again he stood at the gate, and could not enter. And the Violet Flames of Ajna triumphed over him. Then Brenner said: “ Let us take a little rest!”—oh irony l—and he came down from his throne, staggering with fatigue. . . . If you can conceive of all his anger and despair! His pen, writing this, forms a l…
…s too (Chorus, please!) The score of life is at Love-all. ENVOI Nothing is like leather. The rhyme is passable—a task by no means small. Though its connection is certainly not obvious—still our cap has lost no feather :— Done it, by Jupiter! We can only say farewell, gentle reader, impressing on you the truth (put in Tennis language because this ballade is all about Tennis) that the score of life is at Love-all.
…ts Law hath made for itself a Language and a Literature, yet it is but an arbitrary invention; without impinging (save as it oper- ateth though Pleasure and interest upon Minds) on any other Sphere soever of the Universe. Equally, Things called (vulgarly) Real and Material exist in the Universe of our Consciousness only by the Apprehension of their Images in mind through Sense; as, how is Colour Real or Material to a blind may or a Law mathematical true to a man that is imbecile or demented? All things therefore exist in one form or another; bu…

…it to be innocuous ? With the reported murder of Jesus of Nazareth I am not concerned ; but Vespasian’s “ Ut puto Deus fio ” is commonly thought to have been meant as a jest. Our Romanticist’s unique and magnificent dramatisation of the war between the sceptic or lover of truth, and the religious man or lover of life, may be well quoted against me. Though Vespasian did jest, though Christ’s “ It is finished ” were subjectively but the cry of his physical weakness, like Burton’s “ I am a dead man,” it is no less true that millions have regarded …
was more than half intoxicated. Akbar took the chair opposite to him. "We couldn't get it," he said; in a whisper, though there was nobody within earshot. "Oh, Dr. Balloch, Dr. Balloch! do try to understand! It was impossible. We tried all sorts of ways." The doctor's voice had a soft suavity. Though a licensed physician, he had long since abandoned legitimate practice, and under the guise of homeopathy pursued various courses which would have been but ill regarded by more regular practitioners. His reply was horrible, uttered as it was in feli…

Though surely I may find it queer That you should talk of self-hypnosis, When your own faith so very close is To similar experience ; Lies, in a word, beneath suspicion To ordinary common sense . And logic’s emery attrition. I take, however, as before Your own opinions, and demand Some test by which to understand Huxley’s piano-talk,* and find If my hypnosis may not score A point against the normal mind. (As y…

How smooth and clear The moonlight runs from point to hilt! Steel in the end beats silver-gilt! Well, there’s an end of my cigar: The girls will wonder where we are. Strange! how this question of motive deceives historians—and others! said the scholar. Froude was hardly a fool; but his Henry the Eighth is incredible. So is the conventional monster.

Her liking for Professor Zircon was little more than a child's, though the shaggy-headed old analyst told another story to his brother experts at the ΝΜ Office, And indeed, though her nature was incapable of great passion, what 5116 had she gave, and to the innocence of a child added a dog's fidelity and trust.

…and is seen to be necessary. From this one is tempted to break a lance on that most ancient battlefield, free-will and destiny. But even though every man is "determined" so that every action is merely the passive resultant of the sum-total of the forces which have acted upon him from eternity, so that his own Will is only the echo of the Will of the Universe, yet that consciousness of " free-will " is valu- able; and if he really understands it as being the partial and individual expression of that internal motion in a Universe whose sum is res…
… So for the matter of time and space. All time is filled; all space is filled; the phenomenon is infinite and eternal. This is true even though its singleness makes the duration of the phenomenon but one minimum cogitabile. In short, it is experienced in some other kind of time, some other kind of space. There is nothing irrational about this. Non-Euclidean geometries, for example, are possible, and may be true. It is only necessary to a theory of the universe that it should be true to itself within itself; for there is no other thing outside b…

Also, this which we attain, though it be the Essence of Omniscience and Omnipotence, informeth and moveth the Material World (so to call it) only according to the Nature of that which is herein. For the Light of the Sun (by His very Wholeness itself) sheweth a Rose Red, but a Leaf Green; and His Heat gathereth the Clouds, and disperseth them also.

… death of one of his two colleagues, and the weakness of the other, secured to S.R.M.D. the sole authority. The rituals were elaborated, though scholarly enough, into verbose and pretentious nonsense: the knowledge proved worth- less, even where it was correct: for it is in vain that pearls, be they never so clear and precious, are given to the swine. The ordeals were turned into contempt, it being impos- sible for any one to fail therein. Unsuitable candidates were admitted for no better reason than that of their worldly prosperity. In short, …

By these vile tricks , abominable spells , I drew foul horrors from a many hells --- Though I had fathomed Fate ; though I had seen Chastity charm - proof arm and sea gray eyes And sweet clean body of my spirit's queen , Where nothing dwells that God did not devise .' The sonnets relating the events of the seventh to the tenth day are dismal , attempting to drown Love in Lust .
