This verse, its sheath, Thou poisonous bitch, is rotten. Fact, atone !)

THE EQUINOX they mean all right. I had faith too but the knowledge is better. I had in mind a prayer that I used to want her to say long ago for I felt it important to pray and teach her to say the little prayer.” (1917, p. 327.) If this isn’t mediumistic cant, I should like to know what is! However, on another occasion, we read: “Go to hell and there you will find the information you seek my sweet friend.” (p. 622.) Here is some sound advice! This is another little gem, which is dished-up as part of the “proof of immor- tality”: “Mamma gave so…

The Church, the Chapel, and the Registry Office must go; for, so long as they remain, prostitution will spell degradation, and marriage falsehood and hypocrisy. Chaos will not result when Virtue weds with Vice, for what is possible to the savage is possible for us, and the children will be looked after better than ever. Once teach our children the nobility of love, and the pimp, the pander, and the puir-minded presbyter will simply be starved out. Continue to foster the pre…

Light the slow smile, ephemeral as ever a painted butterfly, Certain to close into a kiss, certain to fasten on me and sting! Nay? Are you coy? hen I will catch your hips and hold you wild and shy Until your very struggles set your velvet buttocks all a-sqing, Until their music lulls you to unfathomable ecstasy, O kissible Tarshitering!

… good enough for a book-worm-eaten hag like myself, sodden on Sterne and Swift. A book like this revives the drooping flower of hope; so long as there are people willing to try, there is still hope for humanity. AC How To Stnc a Sone. By Yverre Guiigert. The Macmillan Co. Price $2.00. Ir is commonplace that Yvette Guilbert is the greatest artist of her period. It is a tragedy that her art happens to be ephemeral. The poignancy of such a reali- zation is like that which one feels in the eternal Greek which Synge re-awakened in the wild Western w…

All I can say is that I am very sorry, but this particular fact is going to hit you in the face before you have started very long, and I do not see why we should bother about the mysterious assumptions underlying the acceptance of the fact any more than in the case of what is after all equally mysterious and unfathomable: any object of any of the senses. The fact is this; that one

And he, Rending the branches of that wizard Oak, With a strong grasp tore down the Fleece of Gold. Then camea voice : ‘‘ Woe, woe! Aea’sisle ! The glory is departed!” And a voice Answered it ‘‘Woe!” Then Jason seemed to see Some Fear behind the little former fears ;

What final crime of horror wins At last His gracious heart to harden ? What one last infamy shall wake His anger, for His great Name’s sake? Is there one sin so horrible That no forgiveness can obtain, That flings apart the bars of hell, | For which repentance shall be vain? . Ay! but there is! One act of ruth Done in my rash unthinking youth ! Who wonders if I hold the scale. Poised in …

… tendency of physics is towards describing the universe in terms of mathematical relations between unimaginable entities.' We have got a long way from Lord Kelvin's too-often and too-unfairly quoted statement that he could not imagine anything of which he could not construct a mechanical model. The Victorians were really a little inclined to echo Dr. Johnson's gross imbecile stamp on the ground when the ideas of Bishop Berkeley penetrated to the superficial strata of the drink-sodden grey cells of that beef-witted brute. 29.

All my life long I have gazed, and dreamed, and thought, Unless my thought itself were but a dream, A little, troubled dream, a dream of death Whence I may wake—ah, where? In some new world Where Consciousness doth touch the Infinite, And all the strivings of the soul be found Sufficient to beat back the waves of doubt, To pierce the void, and grasp the glorious, To find out Truth?

…nary object chosen for the purpose. These two limbs of Yoga are therefore in a sense the two methods employed mentally by the Yogi. For, long after success in Samadhi has been attained, one has to conduct the most extensive explorations into the recesses of the mind. 12. The word Dhyana is difficult to define; it is used by many writers in quite contrary senses. The question is discussed at some length in Part I. of my Book IV. I will quote what I have written about it in conclusion 'Let us try a final definition. Dhyana resembles Samadhi in m…

…ancient and devoted dizzard ! Appear, thou dream of loveliness! She wore a rose and amber dress, With broidery of old gold. Her hair Was long and starry, gilded red. Her face was laughter, shapen fair By the sweet things she thought and said. Her whiteness rustled as she walked. Her hair sang tunes across the air. She sighed, laughed, whispered, never talked. She smiled, and loves devout and rare Flickered about the room. She stayed Still in the dusk: her body sang Out full and clear ‘‘O love me!” Rang The silver couplets undismayed, Bright, bo…

Let the long locks of gold escape And cover me and fall and drape, A pall of whispering hair ! And let the starry eyes look through That mist of silken light, And lips drop forth their honey-dew And gentle sighs of sleep renew The scented winds of night ! As purple clusters of pure grapes Distil their dreamy wine Whose fragrance from warm fields escapes On shadowy hills and sunny capes In lands of jessamine ! So let t…

I forget the exact statistics, but I gather that the muscular exertion made by a man sleeping peacefully in bed is sufficient to raise fourteen elephants per hour to the stratosphere. Anyway, I remember that it is something rather difficult to believe, if only because I did not believe it myself. 11. Why then should we bother to choose a specially sacred position?
