Diary of a Drug Fiend

CHAPTER III THE VOICE OF VIRTUE Basi had gone out of town ; but he turned up on the fifth day at eleven o'clock in the morning, and he came in his most serious professional manner. After a very brief greeting, he went straight to the charts and in- spected them attentively. Lou and I both felt very uncomfortable. He noticed it at once. “You've still got heroin on the brain, I see,” he remarked severely. ‘‘ You insist on considering your- selves as naughty children instead of as pioneers of humanity undertaking a desperate adventure for the good…

This question Needs a more adequate digestion. Yet I may answer that the universe Of meditation suffers less From time’s insufferable stress Than that of matter. On, thou puny verse !

…ted together the sword of right and the sceptre of duty; and upon this column of gold and steel he placed the creative sign of love. One day, in a great popular assembly, he went down into the road with a piece of bread in his hand which he broke and distributed, saying: ‘‘ Bread of God, do thou make bread for all!” I know another of them who cried: “I will no longer adore the god of the devil! I will not have a hangman for my God!” And they thought that he blasphemed. No; but the energy of his faith overflowed in inexact and imprudent words. H…

Diary of a Drug Fiend

CHAPTER VII THE FINAL PLUNGE Sunday THE church bells tell me the day. I have been through another terrible ordeal. I don’t know how long ago since I came down from the north tower. The noise was really a shot. I found Peter on the floor with the pistol by his side, and blood pouring from a wound in his breast. I understood immediately what I had to do. It was impossible to send for a doctor. The scandal of the suicide would make life impossible ever after, and he would immediately discover that it was due to dope. The burden must be on my own s…

Will go the walk aforesaid I ought to note how on this day there is a complete absence of all one‘s magical apparatus. The mantra has slowed down to (at a guess) a quarter of its old pace. The rest in unison. This is because the feeling of great power, etc. etc., is the mere evidence of con- flict—the thunder of the guns. Now all is at peace; the power of the river, no more a torrent.

It is as emphatic as the word which tradition associates with Cambronne, and perhaps the famous thief and the great general both really replied in the same manner. It was that same Cartouche who offered,.on another occasion, of his own accord and without it being asked of him, twenty thousand pounds to a bankrupt. One must act properly to one’s brothers. Mut…

Berashith

3) joss of Genesis to the intangible, but still self-contradictory spectre of to-day. But ifG be infinite, the other forces can have no possible effect on it. As Whewell says, in the strange accident by which he anticipates the metre of In Memoriam: “No force on earth, however great, can pull a chord, however fine, into a horizontal line that shall be absolutely straight.” The definition of God as infinite therefore denies man implicitly; while if he be finite, there is an end of the usual Christian reasons for worship, though I dare- say I cou…

And bodies and souls, and form and thought, and the whole universe, will be the light, the word, and the permanent and visible revelation of God. Ame…
