…and it is right that cowardly knaves should esteem bold brigands. Boldness united to intelligence is the mother of all successes in this world. To undertake, one must know; to accomplish, one must will; to will really, one must dare; and in order to gather in peace the fruits of one’s audacity, one must keep silent. To KNOW, TO DARE, TO WILL, TO KEEP SILENT, are, as we have said elsewhere, the four qabalistic words which corre- spond to the four letters of the tetragram and to the four hieroglyphic forms of the Sphinx. To know, is the human hea…

…ur Law, administered by some such Order as the O.T.O. which concerns itself with tem- poral affairs, is of weight in the councils of the world, and is challenged by the heathen, and by the followers of the fallen gods and demigods. Note, pray thee, the practical method of overcoming oppo- sition given in CCXX. III 23-26. But this is not to Our immediate purpose in this epistle.

…al joke upon myself. I am hot on the trail of the future. I can imagine myself on my deathbed, spent utterly with lust to touch the next world, like a boy asking for his first kiss from a woman. Beyond Burma lay mysterious China; I conjured up a cloud of amusing phantasies. Romance and adventure. I am incurable; though I have had all the good thinks of life, nearly all my life, though I no longer value them or enjoy them for themselves, I still enjoy the idea of them. I embrace hardship and privation with ecstatic delight; I want everything tha…

…the oyster gang his ain gait. Read that jest of yours about the Qabalistic Rabbi! said Arthur. I will. He was the dearest old man in the world; absolutely incapable of doing anything to shock the most puritanical. Yet his curious studies in the Zohar got him a reputation unfit even to speak of. He was too innocent to guess what trouble he was making! Let it be a warning to us! So he read: THE RABBI MISUNDERSTOOD “ TEMURAH tells us—praise to Adonai !

…s a moment for a hunchback to kill his man, and the farther we get from our base the longer it takes. You may crumble to ashes the dream-world of a boy, as it were, between your fingers; but before you can bring the physical universe tumbling about a man’s ears he requires to drill his hunchbacks so devilish well that they are terribly like soldiers themselves. Anda question capable of shaking the consciousness of Samadhi could, I imagine, give long odds to one of Frederick’s grenadiers. It is useless to attack the mystic by asking him if he is…

This word is sublime in effect because it expresses simply the greatest and most marvellous thing in the world: the creation of intelligence by itself, when, calling its powers together, balancing its faculties, it says: I wish to immor- talize myself with the sight of the eternal truth. Let there be light! and there is light. Light, eternal as God, begins every day for all eyes that are open to see it. Truth will be eternally the invention and the creation of genius; it cries: Let there be light! and genius itse…

…the poet has here refined the dross and poured out before us the glittering metal. Yet what a differ ence he makes between the two great world forces : the love of man for a good woman , and the love of man for a bad woman ; the first is supreme , yet the other is far from being infernal . Listen : Yes .
