… glutinous frig. Looking around the apartment he noticed the various items of interest with pro- fessional celerity, and by the time the good Archbishop had risen and repaired the disorder of his attire, he was able to bow politely and request [18]
… word , lust expresses something unhealthy , unclean ; and the love Charicles bore Archais was certainly not that . This love , to use a good old English word , was a “ lusty ” love , that is a healthy love , and not a lustful or perverted desire . The beauty of nature , the beauty of living , and above all the bright beauty of Archais ; intoxicated him ; before him whirled visions of loveli ness , and as her eyes reflected the passion of his own , as they smiled back on him all the love he bore her , yielding , he caught her up as a flame woul…
… form of government is that of a “benevolent despot,” and despotisms have only fallen because it is impossible in practice to assure the good- will of those in power. The rules of chivalry, and those of Bushido in the East, gave the best chance to develop rulers of the desired type. Chivalry failed principally because it was confronted with new problems; to-day we know per- fectly what those problems were, and are able to solve them. It is generally understood by all men of education that the general welfare is necessary to the highest developm…

We are, as Herbert Spencer observes, self-deluded with the idea of freewill; but if this be so, nothing matters at all. If, however, Herbert Spencer is mistaken (unlikely as it must ap- pear), then our reason is valid, and we should seek out the right path and pursue it. The question therefore need not trouble us at all. Here then we see the use of …
… as if he were kissing some one that one could not see. Now you must know that my Fairy Prince is my lover, and one day he will come for good and ride away with me and marry me. I shan’t tell you his name because it is too beautiful. It is a great secret be~ tween us. When we were engaged he gave me such a beautiful ring. Virgo Mundi Adonai Pegasus Sphinx V.V.V.V.V.
… right to attack it, and one would be obliged to fall on one’s knees before the heroism of his courage. Voltaire would be the Messiah of good sense, the Hercules destructor of fanati- cism. . . . But he laughed too much to understand Him who said: “ Happy are they who weep,” and the philosophy of laughter will never have anything in common with the religion of tears. Voltaire parodied the Bible, dogma and worship; and then he mocked and insulted that parody. Only those who recognize religion in Voltaire’s parody can take offence at it. The Volt…

There is a good deal about Perkin Warbeck, a poem called “Jonquil and Fleur de Lys” of a very unhealthy character, and really very little else in the book. Then there is a poem called “ Prince Charming,” incredibly sickly and sentimental; but, worse than all, the poem called “ Two Loves,” beginning with the celebrated quotation from Shakespeare—‘ My better angel is a man right fair, my worse a woman tempting me to ill.” In a vision the “poet” sees two people; the first is joyous, and sings; the second walks aside :— “He is full sad and sweet, a…
…plete identification is ever obtainable. But do remember this, above all else; they are objective, not subjective, or I should not waste good Magick on them. Let me say in particular in regard to Gods, that the God Jupiter whom you invoke is not necessarily the same as he whom I invoke. It is clear in any case that the revelation of himself to you is modified in many ways by your own particular sensitiveness; just as in ordinary life, your idea of a friend may be very different from my own conception of the same individual. Suppose, for example…
…e be: then, be cock- chafer !"’ Hence my address, this swoodier Swood To Khephra, hence the ambiguous speech, The alluring analogue, the good, The loftiest heaven Art hopes to reach, The highest goal of man as man ; The sly Paraprosdokian. You could not love! You could not serve The scouring of Love's scullery! You, tcos Gdocww? Ha, you swerve Back to that subtler meaning! Few Can guess that miracle of reserve, That sacrament of mathematics, That threescore glee, that three times three, That added scream of hydrostatics ! Not I, for one! Be ass…
…unction. This is where these Greetings, and Will-sayings, and Adorations come in. It is not a concentration-practice proper; I haven't a good word for it. "Background-concentration" or "long-distance-concentration" are clumsy , and not too accurate. It is really rather like a public school education. One is not constantly "doing a better thing than one has ever done" ; one is not dropping one's eye-glass every two minutes, or being a little gentleman in the act of brushing one's hair. The point is that one trains oneself to react properly at an…
THE EQUINOX greatest good of some other, just as the hardness of the wood which wearieth the axeman is the safety of him that ventur- eth himself upon the sea ina ship built of that wood. And this is a truth easy to apprehend, being superficial, and intelligible to the common mind. All evil is thus relative, or apparent, or illusory: but, returning to philosophy, I will repeat that its root is always in duality. Therefore the escape from this apparent evil is to seek the Unity, which you shall do as I have already shewn you. But I will now make…
…putting this girl in the same bed with his wife when he was out of town. During this time I was often away in Washington, thus missing a good deal of the fun. In June, I came back proposing to spend the summer in a cottage by Lake Pasquaney. Ratan Devi was one of those women whose chief pleasure is to show her power over men. She tried it on me, but a bath brick would have done quite as well. Convinced after many desperate efforts that I would not run after her or even walk her way, she began to understand true love, to recognize me as her mast…
… beggar’s haunt as be- fore. He wakes up utterly miserable, and consults the local Mullah as to his experience. “ My son ! ” replies the good man “ favoured of Heaven ! You have had a vision of the realms of Paradise.” He naturally wants to know how to get back, and the Mullah reiterates the well-known blessing on those who die, slaying infidels, and further indicates such and such a Sahib — who has probably made himself obnoxious to the faithful in some way — as a suitable person to attack. Lord Curzon however very wisely met this manoevre by …
… many blasts to shake them, And if they fall, they dash themselves to pieces. (Richard III , Act I, Sc. 3) Now here's a story that's too good to lose; not the mistiest phantasm of an ideogram how to class it; for one thing, it's
…umes of abstention were suffocating us. We had as much as our bodies could tolerate. We didn’t want any more actively. It would do us no good to take more, but nature had already begun her process of eliminating the poison. In the body, morphine and heroin become oxydised, and it is the resulting poisons, not the drugs themselves, i“ that are responsible for the appalling effects. Thus the body begins to give off these products through the secretions; therefore the nose begins to run; there are prolonged foul sweats; there is a smell and a tast…
…nviction of sin which would show him his need of salvation. The material punishment of sin (again) was likely to bring him to his knees. Good works in the sinner were worthless. "All our righteousness is as filthy rags." It was the devil's favourite trick to induce people to rely on their good character. The parable of the pharisee and the publican taught this clearly enough. I do not know whether my Uncle Tom could have found any arguments against this theory, but in practice he had a horror of what he called sin which was exaggerated almost t…
…pot around which the old women of criticism nod and talk scandal. I wanted to be on the spot when the fur began to fly, so as to give as good as I got. However, the gods have their own ideas. I now put forward my scheme for publishing my memoirs --- my autohagiography I playfully called it --- before Collins. Beresford knew Sullivan {896} well, another lucky coincidence; and when I sent him a fairly full synopsis, they accepted my proposals gladly. I took a short holiday in Paris, chiefly to give the Ape a good time at the seaside, and on my re…
…dity, Proceeding both from God and from humanity. I do believe in one most holy brotherhood Ofjust men that revere heaven’s ordinance of good. I do believe one place, one pontiff, and one right, One symbol of one God, in one intent unite. I do believe that death by changing us renews, And that in man as God life sheds immortal dews. XIII THE NUMBER THIRTEEN THIRTEEN is the number of death and of birth; it is that of property and of inheritance, of society and of family, of war and of treaties. 46
