… upon his axe and stared after them. In his brain one thought only remained, which Theophraste might have formulated logically as “ Some men do not chop wood.” And in his heart and eye was a dull animal lust. Two strangers had come to his soul's Inn. There being only one room, he put them to bed together, in this form or some- thing like it: “ Chop—chop—chop—chop; I’m sick of it. Even in had a fine girl from Paris like that, what could I do but chop—chop—chop—chop? " For the first time in his life he went home half an hour earlier than his custom…

But the Saviour knew that at first men would not under- stand him, and he said: “You will not be able to bear at present the full light of my doctrine; but, when the Spirit of Truth shall manifest himself, he will teach you all truth, and he will cause you to understand the sense of what I have said unto you.” : Now the Spirit of Truth is the spirit of science and intelli- gence, the spirit of force and of counsel.

…hink any one will accuse us of flat- tery in saying that Lord Alfred Douglas is just such a person, and this is the more striking pheno- menon as it is so rare to find true moral greatness associated with poetical genius. We write thus in order to direct his attention to a little book published some years ago in Paris, but reprinted in an expur- gated form in England; a book of so abominable a character that I am sure it is only necessary to direct his lordship’s attention to it to raise a very considerable turmoil. We quote one or two passages…

Our haloes are top heavy. We have quite forgotten that the Belgian is the most cruel, mean, and cowardly cur in Europe, that we have demonstrated till all are blue against him as assassin, torturer, mutilator, and cannibal. We have dined in our thousands to acclaim his disgrace. We heard of nothing but "Red Rubber;" of negroes with hands, and feet, …

THE TESTAMENT OF MAGDALEN BLAIR PART I I IN my third term at Newnham I was already Profes- sor Blair's favourite pupil. Later, he wasted a great deal of time praising my slight figure and my piquant face, with its big round grey eyes and their long black lashes; but the first attraction was my singular gift. Few men, and, I believe, no other women, could approach me in one of the most priceless qualifications for scientific study, the faculty of apprehending minute differences. My memory was poor, extraordinarily so; I had the ut- most trouble …

ASCENSION DAY 13 One year’s effect, one moment’s cause; What mind could estimate such laws ? Who then (much more !) may act aright Judged by and in ten centuries’ sight? (Yet I believe, whate’er we do Is best for me and best for you And best for all : I line no brow With wrinkles, meditating how.) Well, but another way remains. Shall we expound the cosmic plan By symbolising God and man And nature thus? As man contains Cells, nerves, grey matter in his brains, Each cell a life, self-centred, free Yet self-subordinate to the whole For its own sa…

136 THE STAR IN THE WEST Can you not see ? I am cut off from God ! Loathsome bull -men in their corruption linked Whisper lewd fancies in my ear. Great fish , Monstrous and flat, with vile malignant eyes , And crawling beetles of gigantic strength , Crushed , mangled , moving , are about me . Go ! Go ! do not touch the carcass of myself That is abased , defiled , abominable .' Then Ulric enters , evidently now totally mad ; the fearful power of his Neronic lust has reft asunder the last thread of his sanity ; in his hand he carries a razor , fi…

Affidavits signed by honourable witnesses, persons who are artists, doctors, priests, all men above re- proach, have been communicated to us; we have questioned eye-witnesses, and, better than that, we have seen with our own eyes. The facts deserve to be described in detail. There is in Paris a writer named Mr. Madrolle, who is, to say the least of it, a bit eccentric. He is an old man of good family. He wrote at first on behalf of Catholicism in the most exalted way, received most flattering encou…

…an revelation are the creation of voluntary virginity and the sanctification of marriage. While love is nothing but a desire and an enjoyment, it is mortal. In order to make itself eternal it must become a sacrifice, for then it becomes a power and a virtue. It is the struggle of Eros and Anteros which produces the equilibrium of the world. Everything that over-excites sensibility leads to depravity and crime. Tears call for blood. It is with great emotions as with strong drink; to use them habitually is to abuse them. Now, every abuse of the e…

…of good fellowship; the sisterhood of sin presented no deceptive attractions. The most idealistic innocent could not have been under a moment's illusion --- they were stalled like cattle in rows of wooden shanties; and they carried on their business with fierce commercial candour. All those little grace of life which make bought kisses tolerable to those sensitive people who are willing to be fooled, were absent. I strolled across to Juarez to kiss my girl goodbye. O Mexico, my heart still throbs and burns whenever memory brings you to my mind!…

… it would have been for a brother on earth to stretch out his hands and rescue a brother writhing in the pangs of immortality. There are men in Oriental countries who make it their business to attend hasheesh-eaters during the fantasia, and profess to be able to lead them constantly in pleasant paths of hallucination. If indeed they possess this power, the delirium which they control must be a far more ductile state than any I have witnessed occurring under the influence of hasheesh at its height. In the present instance I found all suggestion …

THE EQUINOX the river. And these lamps were above the river, children of a nobler element. And in the river is the great Leviathan that devours men. But before I had come within the sphere of attraction of either of these, suddenly mine eyes were gladdened with a marvellous vision. Infinitely far off, as it seemed, a ray of sunlight shot through the Saturnine gloom of the skies, and lit the surface of the water. And then I perceived that upon the river there floated, within that small circle of light, an ark, or as it might be, a coffin. Then look…
