…e re- turning home from an eternity spent in loneliness among the palaces of strangers. Well may I say an eternity, for during the whole day I could not rid myself of the feeling that I was separated from the preceding one by an immeasur- able lapse of time. In fact, I never got wholly rid of it. 249
… could readily master any of the shorter chapters in an hour or so, while the acquirement of a dozen stray words would last me the whole day. 5. This attempt to reconcile all-Power and all- Benevolence is formally identical with that of the veriest Evangelical, and is none the less shameless casuistry for its Oriental phraseology. 6. This is a common practical joke among friends. The recalcitrant pathic is treated more severely by sharp taps on the coccyx with the knuckle, dagger-hilt, or tent-peg. Genuine obsti- nacy would lead to the slitting…
… of thine, then shalt thou be cast out into the abyss for ever; and thou shalt be the lonely one, the eater of dung, the afflicted in the Day of Be—with—Us. 13. Yeal verily this is the Truth, this is the Truth, this is the Truth. Unto thee shall be granted joy and health and wealth and wisdom when thou art no longer thou. 14. Then shall every gain be a new sacrament, and it shall not defile thee; thou shalt revel with the wanton in the market-place, and the virgins shall fling roses upon thee, and the merchants bend their knees and bring thee gold…

…suffering was not conceived of as a purely passive function. It was keenly ac- tive and intensely enjoyable. There are certain words to- day still extant in which the original meaning of this word lingers, and consideration may suggest to the Student the true and secret meaning of this passage, “Accendat in nobis Dominus ignem sui amoris et flammam eterne caritatis,” a phrase with the subtle ambiguity which the classics found the finest form of wit. (Subsection IV.) This indifference is very much the same as what is usually spoken of as non-att…
…I was prisoner once. WOLFRAM. Prisoner? By here? TANNHAUSER. A-many castles, sir, Held by old ogres—and not all of them Stand in the mid-day, front the sober sun, Answer the slug-horn.! LANDGRAVE, You are pleased to riddle. Ever the poet ! TANNHAUSER (aside). Let me try the truth For certitude of incredulity ! (Aloud, laughing) I was in Venusberg ! ALL (except HEINRICH, who laughs). Save us, Maria! [They look about them fearfully and cross theniselves. 1 I prefer to follow Browning in his '* absurd blunder” than to imitate the alleged currectne…
… Being asked who Mrs. M. was, H. L. answered that she was a vampire and a sorceress who was modelling a sphinx with the intention of one day endowing it with life so that it might carry out her evil wishes; and that her victim was Miss Q. P. wishing to ease his friend’s mind asked H. L. to take him to Miss Q.’s address at which Mrs. M. was then living. This H. L. did. The following story is certainly one of the least remarkable of the many strange events which happened to Frater P. during his five months’ residence in Paris, but we give it in p…

…they cry: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, that art not shaken in the earthquakes, and in the thunders! The end of things is come upon us; the day of be- with-us is at hand! For he hath created the universe, and overthrown it, that he might take his pleasure thereupon. And now, in the midst of the Aethyr, I beheld that god. He hath a thousand arms, and in each hand is a weapon of terrible strength. His face is more terrible than the storm, and from his eyes flash lightnings of intolerable brilliance. From his mouth run seas of blood. Upon his head is…
…ymptoms and true. Mrs. B. I can never forget seeing young Joe Whitney when he came from you. He had the face of alost soul. And the next day the papers had the news that he had shot himself. Dr. B. Well, what of that? He saved himself about four months of the most persistent and horrible torture that the mind of a devil could imagine...... People wonder why doctors are nearly always Atheists I Mrs B. Oh, Bob! Dr. B. In his place I should have done as he did. Dr. F. No, you wouldn’t. You’d sit in a corner with your teeth clenched, waiting and wa…

…sickness, except for my own dermatological trouble. At Askole, however, several of the servants were slightly indisposed for a couple of days. We spent ten days in this village. Beyond this point there are no supplies of any sort. It was therefore necessary to establish a depot of food for the men higher up. The difficulty in travelling in uninhabited countries is that a man who eats (say) two pounds a day and carries sixty pounds can carry nothing except his own food on a journey of thirty marches. Our problem was how to get about one hundred …
…y , till our scorched eyes falling as slags upon our hearts , a light celestial hath arisen from out the eyeless sockets of Eternity . A day - star , to flash forth into the west , winged and wonderful . A Pharos of gleaming hope lighting our way across the boisterous ocean of life to our haven of eternal rest . The fools and the faulty , the wise and the wizened read and tremble before the might of its majesty , for into its flaming horrent hath it woven and braided the ashen locks of wisdom , the dyed curls of folly , and all the glittering c…
…s , brigands , and beggars . Astrology gave us astronomy , and Alchemy gave us chemistry , both were antagon istic to the ideas of their day ; let us hope that Psychical Research will give us a purer metaphysics. Now the question before us here , is : how does all this decaying and growing of ideals affect the poetic philosophy of Aleister Crowley ? And the answer is as follows : To the writer of this essay it seems on reading Aleister Crowley's poems that the revolt against ex isting ideals and morals is more the outcome of spon taneous intuit…
…ould be were he now suddenly restored to earth. For a while, even in perfect consciousness, I believed I was still dreaming, and to this dayI have so little lost the memory of that one demoniac toll, that while writing these lines I have put my hand to my forehead, hearing and feeling some- thing, through the mere imagination, which was an echo of the original pang. It is this persistency of impressions which explains the fact of the hasheesh state, after a certain time, growing more and more every day a thing of agony. It is not because the bo…

…n. What is certain is the existence of the facts which one habitually describes as miracles. _Magnetizers and sleep-wakers do them every day ; Sister Rose Tamisier did them; the “ illuminated” Vintras does them still; more than fifteen thousand witnesses recently attested those of the American mediums; ten thousand peasants of Berry and Sologne would attest, if need were, those of the god Cheneau (a retired button-merchant who believes himself inspired by God). Are all these people hallucinated or knaves? Hallucinated, yes, perhaps, but the ver…
