…I say — in that country." It was the same sing-song, with the one change of word. "First of all, you must never speak of anything by its name — in that country. So, if you see a tree on a mountain, it will be better to say 'Look at the green on the high'; for that's how they talk — in that country.

And everything of value has no value at all — in that country. You mu…

When in Holland in '97, I had written a Christmas hymn in which the Nativity was treated realistically. I now found that Christian piety had taken away the entire poetic beauty of Bethlehem by declaring that the Virgin suffered no pain.

From the Character of the Deities and their Functions are deduced their Signs, and these are found to signal (as it were) the Word Lux (WS), which itself is contained in the Cross. A careful Study of these Ideas, and of the Table o…
