…e truth came home to him: O my God! O my God! Damn it! he screamed, how did you get the keys of my little safe? The girl had frozen colder than the stone, but there was a new light in her eye, and if the curl of a lip could tread a worm into the dust, that lip was hers and that worm the author of her being. She had withdrawn as one who comes suddenly upon a toad, and the first flaming of her face had died instantly to deadlier ice. Bugg saw his mistake, his masses of mistakes. There being but one more to make, he made it; and, finding himse…

The current is appallingly swift. We had begun our "adventure by water" in crossing the Yuno, for we were on the wrong side of the river, and a man had had to be sent down from far above to arrange for the raft to take us over.

The real rulers, then as to-day, were not, officially, priests ; the sceptre was wielded by those who, swathed in thick darkness, and enthroned on their own thunderclouds, looked with the eye of gods upon this earth, and carried out the designs of God with tranquil power. I have depicted such a Servant of God stepping down from his throne at the precise …

… they had it.” “I’m sorry to have to disagree,’ said Lamus. “ And as you know, I’ve got into endless trouble of one sort or another for holding the views I do. But I’m afraid I do honestly think that most of the troubles spring directly from the unnatural conditions set up by the attempts to regulate the business. And in any case, the state of mind brought about by them is so harmful indirectly to the sense of moral responsibility that I am really not sure whether it would not be wiser in the long run to do away with the Blue laws and the Lizzi…

Love under Will 357 exaltation of cocaine, could match that moment. The words were old; but their meaning was marvellously new. There had never been any “1” before, when I thought “I” was I, there had never been any “ you ” before when I thought of Lou as an independent being, and had not realised that she was the necessary com- plement of the human instrument which was doing “my” work. Nor had there been any love before, while love meant nothing but the manifold stupid things that people ordinarily mean by it. Love, as I meant it now, was an a…

…ect of Necromancy is so admirably documented. As to the real Art, we have not only Eliphas Levi, but the sublimely simple account in the Old Testament of the Witch of Endor, her conjuring up of the apparition of Samuel to King Saul. A third classic must not be neglected: I have heard or read the story elsewhere-for the moment I cannot place it. But it is so brilliantly told in I Write as I Please by Walter Duranty that nothing could be happier than to quote him verbatim. It was the story of a Bolshevik who conversed with a corpse.

I told him that Harris had cut down my article by two thirds for lack of space. "I almost wish", I said, "that you were an important writer." I had begun, I do not in the least remember how, to try my hand at short stories. Even today having written more than seventy such, I do not quite understand why this form of art should appeal to me.

…of self-contradiction lurks; for that can never be. The thinkable is false, then? (once more!) _Yea, but equally it is true. So also the old mystics were right who saw in every phenomenon a dog-faced demon apt only to seduce the soul from the sacred mystery; right, too, they who “interpret every phenomenon as a particular dealing of God with the soul.” Yet the latter is the higher formula; the narrowing of the Magical Circle to a point is an easier task than the destruction of that circle (and all both within and without) by the inrush of a hig…
