…drowned.” This power to make us feel is the divine thing in art. It is the creative force which answers “Yea” to the prophet’s cynical, “Lord, shall these dead bones live?” Now this is exactly what Yvette Guilbert has done for song. She has not done it for one century only. She has made all time speak, give up its secret, to those who are capable to live in that divine air of the spirit which magazines, cocktails, and automobiles so easily pollute. I see in Yvette Guilbert not only an artist in the ordinary sense of the word, but an artist like…

122 AHAB Ah, that was life! I feel my sword Live, bite, and shudder in my hand, Smite, drink, the spirit of its lord Exulting through the infinite brand ! My chariot dyed with Syrian blood ! My footmen wading through the flood ! Ay! that was life! Before the night Dipped its cool wings, their hosts were stricken Like night itself before the light. An hundred thousand corpses sicken The air of heaven. Yet some by speed Escape our vengeance—ours, indeed ! Fate, the red hound, to Aphek followed. Some seven and twenty thousand died When the great w…

…, half so sweet ! Ife passed before me on the wheel of Time, He who knows no Time—the intense sublime Master of all philosophy and play, Lord of all love and music and sweet rhyme. Follow thou him! Work ever, if thy heart Be fervent with one hope, thy brain with art, Thy lips with song, thine arm with strength to smite : Achieve some act ; its name shall not depart. Christ laid Love’s corner-stone, and Czesar built The tower of glory ; Sappho’s life was spilt From fervent lips the torch of song to ignite : Thou mayst add yet a stone—if but thou…

…hysics is towards describing the universe in terms of mathematical relations between unimaginable entities.' We have got a long way from Lord Kelvin's too-often and too-unfairly quoted statement that he could not imagine anything of which he could not construct a mechanical model. The Victorians were really a little inclined to echo Dr. Johnson's gross imbecile stamp on the ground when the ideas of Bishop Berkeley penetrated to the superficial strata of the drink-sodden grey cells of that beef-witted brute. 29.

The secret of the Lord is set with him That wonders at His majesty :? his praise Wells from no trembler’s misery: his hymn Swells the exultant day’s. His psalm wings upward, and reflected down Even in Hell makes music and renown. Yea! for the echo of the anthem rolls Down to the lost unfathomable deep.

…916; 1917. Three volumes; price $20.00. Herz is a nice little piece of reading for the occult student—-some two thousand pages, weighing Lord knows how many pounds! And it contains some stuff. Volumes I and II are by Dr. Prince, and deal with the psychology of the case,— its genesis and cure; Volume III is by Hyslop, and takes it up—as we might have supposed—from the “spiritualistic” point of view, and endeavours to prove that the various personalities are not such at all, in reality, but probably “spirits,” who 286
