… That filleth ether to the brim Wherein all stars and suns may dance. I am the beautiful and glad, Rejoicing in the golden day. I am the spirit silken-clad That fareth on the fiery way. I have escaped from Him, whose eyes Are closed at eventide, and wise To drag thee to the House of Wrong :— Iam armed! Iam armed! I am strong! I am strong ! I make my way: opposing horns Of secret foemen push their lust In vain: my song their fury scorns ; They sink, they grovel in the dust. Hail, self-created Lord of Night! Inscrutable and infinite !

Earth is the throne of Spirit; having got to the bottom, one immediately comes out again at the top. Hence, the card manifests the symbolism of the serpent of the endless band. THE FOUR THREES These cards are referred to Binah; in each of them is expressed the symbolism of Un‐ derstanding. The idea has become fertilized; the triangle has been formulated.

Her fascination steals my strength, Her luxury lures me as she comes ; Reaches her length against my length, And breaks my spirit ; life succumbs— A nameless avatar of death Incarnate in her burning breath. I know her gorgeous raiment folded In snaky subtle draperies, All stalwart captains mighty-moulded To lure within her sorceries, Within her bed—and I, who love, See, and am silent, and approve! Strange! Who shall call the potter knave Who moulds a vessel to his will? One, if he choose, a black-browed slave: One, if he choose, a…

Come with me And tell me all thy grief; thy prayer is heard Before thy spirit clothes in wintry word The fire it throbs with.” So her eager doves Waited. From seas grown calm the wanton loves Lifted the hero to the pearly car, Whose floor was azure and whose front a star Set in seven jewels girt with ivory.

I conquered self; I grew at last A prophet chosen of the Lord ; I blew the trumpet’s iron blast That called on Zimri Omri’s sword; My voice inflamed the fiery steel That was to smite upon Jezreel. And now, I haste from yonder sands, With fervour filled, to say God’s doom To Ahab of the bloody hands, The…

… long gowns and short is that, even if at the cost of some superficial respect, it is possible to establish more intimate communion in a spirit of comradeship between the old and the young. The intellectual gain is obvious; but perhaps even more valuable is the moral profit. To draw a hard and fast line between pupil and teacher limits both. Misunderstanding leads to mistrust, mistrust to enmity. It is better to realize the identity of interests. {169} I became aware of my feeling on this point quite suddenly. The impression is the more intense…

All lingers: all is gone: a little while, And all the live sweet rapture of the smile Of her whole being is discomfited, The body broken, desolated, vile, Till nought remains but the memorial urn Of deep red gold, less golden than did burn Once the strong breast : the ash within is sh…

My vigorous heart and spirit yearn With love, my cheeks with passion burn— As thy clear eyes may well discern By gazing into mine. Thy heart is cool, thy cheeks are pale, Nor blush with shame like winter wine To understand my amorous tale, For words and looks of Love must fail To touch thee, since a snowy veil Ts "twixt my mind and thine.

Your bodies had wearied me, but your passion was ever fresh : You were many indeed, but your love for me was one. Then I perceived the stars to reflect a single sun— Not burning suns themselves, in furious regular race, But mirrors of midnight, lit to remind us of His face. Thus I beheld the truth: ye are stars that give me light ; But I read you aright and learn I am …

… research, I felt sure from mere consideration of the conditions of the problem that the adhesion of so many prominent men of science to spiritism must be explained by psychological facts. This saved me a great deal of time. The first key that I tried fitted the lock. I noted immediately that the scientific men concerned were in some cases, though not in all, indisputably trustworthy as observers. They were capable of detecting fraud and of devising methods to exclude it. I was faced with the alternative of accepting the hypothesis of spiritism…
