…ght up from the pit. But always to the very end his power is unexhausted, immense, terrible. His delirium does not amuse ; it appals ! A man who could conceive as he did must himself have had some glorious chord in his heart vibrating to the eternal principle of Bound- less Love. That this love was wrecked is for me, in some sort a relative of his, a real and bitter sorrow. He might have been so great ! He missed Heaven ! Think kindly of him !

I rather will exalt the soul Of man to loftier height, And kindle at a livelier coal The subtler soul of Light. From these soft splendours of a dream T turn, and seek the Self supreme. This world is shadow-shapen of The bitterness of pain, Vain are the little lamps of love! The light of life is vain! Life, death, joy, sorrow, age and youth Are phantoms of a further truth. Beyond the splendour of the world, False glittering of the gold, A Ser…

Hard to perceive, all-wandering, subtle and eager do they press, Thoughts ; let the wise man guard his thoughts ; well guarded thoughts bring happiness. Moving alone, far-travelling, bodiless, hidden i’th’ heart, who trains His thought and binds it by his will shall be released from Mara’s chains.

I64 RONDELS (AT MONTE CARLO) Let God’s highest heaven receive the man who dies— All hath an end : he falls : the stains and scars Are his throughout unwatched eternities. The roses and the scented nenuphars Give hope—oh ! monolith ! oh house of lies ! We change and change and fade, strange avatars In all the skies. III One way sets free. That way is not to tread Through fire or earth or spirit, air or sea. That secret is not gathered of the dead. On way sets free. Not to desire shall lead to not to be. There is no hope within, none overhead, No…

THE FOUNTAINS In the heather deeply hidden, From the caverns darkly drawn, In the woodlands man-forbidden, In the gateways of the dawn, In the glad sweet glades descended, On the stark hills gathered high, Where the snows and trees are blended, Kissed at birth by sun and sky; We have heard the summons: we are open to the day- spring’s eye. 48

IN MANU DOMINÆ 169 She hath divers jewels crusted on To her rings graven obscenities, Like elfin eyes, the malison Of a basilisk cockatrice ! She hath a cold, an ardent gleam In the staring eyes of her ; She weaves a witch-web of dank dream Before her worshipper ; Her hand allures him to its theme : Sceptre to sepulchre ! So cold, so chaste, so sombre glows The purpose of her cypress glance ! A sphinx set up amid the snows, An Attis frozen in his dance, Is this unnatural god that knows No mans inheritance. So with a strange Circean smile She …

…ntellect itself is also referred to the number Six. Mer‐ cury, in Aquarius, represents the celestial Energy influencing the Kerub of the Man, thus showing intelligence and humanity. But there is much more than this in the symbol. The perfect balance of all mental and moral faculties, hardly won, and almost impossible to hold in an ever‐changing world, de‐ clares the idea of Science in its fullest interpretation. The hilts of the Swords, which are very ornamental, are in the form of the hexagram. Their points touch the outer petals of a red rose…

The Ghiter on the Snow 93 the most beautiful woman in the world for my wife, and that could only be done in the regular way by showing her off in the best dresses and the most wonder- ful jewellery. It was my duty to her as my wife, and I could afford it perfectly well because I was a tolerably rich man to start with anyhow, and besides, the five thousand I was putting into Feccles’ business would mean something like a quarter of a million at least, on the most conservative calculations, as I had seen with my own eyes. And that was all clear pr…

Briefly, however, this was his plan; to elude the guards, make for the coast, capture a boat, and put to sea. Do you understand? Do you get the idea? Bevan replied that it seemed to him the only possi- ble plan. A man like Dodu, pursued Duguesclin, takes noth- ing for granted. He leaves no precaution untaken; in his plans, if chance be an element, it is an element whose

To reach toward God, and, from His shrine returning, To sing in magic melodies the vast Desires of God towards man—O dreams ! O years Drowned in these bitter tears !

Yet still youth burns ! The hours its pleasure wasted Compel their bitter memories to grow sweet ; Like some warm-perfumed poison if…

…ightful and of odour sweet So are his words who speaketh well, fruitful, by action made complete. As from a heap of flowers can men make many garlands, so, once born, A man a-many noble deeds by doing may his life adorn. Travels the scent of flowers against the wind ? Not Sandal, Taggara, nor Jasmine scent ! But the odour of the good doth so, the good pervadeth unto every element. When Sandal, Lotus, Taggara and Vassiki their odour rare Shed forth, their fragrant excellence is verily beyond compare.
