…rn 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. Dear goddess, al whose carly breast I drank in all desires and woes3 Most reverend god, who oft caressed Her pale chaste wifehood, and who pressed Upon my forehead kisses blest ; Bid blossom out this rose, This fair white bud whose heart is pure, Whose bosom fears not, neither knows The long vague mysteries that en…

…tain, but that other parts, those that are called ‘others’ in ordinary consciousness, realize the Oneness also.” N. B. These are not the words, and do not properly express the meaning. The experience itself was in the nature of realization rather than in any language. (Not at all bad. O.M.) Dec. 12. To-night, while walking, I thought that some time, when I can find the right person, it would be well to get him to record for me one of these experiences such as that of last night, during its occurrence; (1) providing I could speak without alterin…

… HOLY OF HOLIES 211 Not one. I tell you, destiny is sure, Yet moves no finger: though it tune my tongue, My tongue shall tune it too: my words endure As destiny decays: my hands are flung In prayer to Heaven nay, to mine own crown, To raise myself, and not to drag it down !} O holiest Lord of the divine white flame Of brilliance sworded in the temple sky ! O thou who knowest my most secret name, Who whisperest when only thou and I Make up our universe: bestow thy kiss: Arise! Come, let us pierce the old abyss ! Rise! Move! Appear! Tet us go for…

… Worn with dim thought and unsuspected pains, And all thy soul fulfilled of majesty ; Because the silence of thy house is great, And thy word second spoken after Fate, And thy light stricken of thine own grim hand ; Because thy whisper exceedeth the command Of Zeus; thy dim light far outshines his glory ; Because, as He the first is, Thou the last :— Therefore I take up sorrow in my hands, And ply thine ear with my most doleful story, Asking a future, who have lost a past : A guerdon of my singing like the land’s When spring breaks forth from w…

… for the last time beside the ocean gray. Soul of my soul, we never can forget— But, is our parting burnt across the skies ? Is the last word said? Must our lips be set Not to new song, but to the bitter sighs As of a child whose flower-garden dies, Who knows no hope of some enduring spring P Is the last song made, whose faint melodies Brushed the pale air with an archangel’s wing? Is Hope divorced, our queen? Is Love dis- crowned, our King? Far o’er the Ocean sets a flery star And meteors cross the angry horizon ; A comet blazes, reddening the…

318 The Ar Thiao section. He travels to the infinite East among the hosts of angels summoned by the words. A sort of "Rising on the Planes", but in a horizontal direction. The same remarks apply to the next three sections in the other quarters. At the great invocation following he extends the Shivalingam to infinite height, each letter of each word representing an exaltation of it by {518} geometrical progression.

I heard Her spirit cry, by death not stilled : ‘My sin is perfect in thy blood, And thou and I have conquered God.” Now let me die, at last desired, At last beloved of thee my queen; Now let me die, with blood attired, Thy servant naked and obscene ; To thy white skull, thy palms, thy feet, Clinging, dead, infamous, complete.

For, as fot him that understandeth not thy writing, and that easily and well, he ye well assured all that he is a vile man and a losel of little worth or worship; a dog, an unclean swine, a worm of filth, a festering sore in the vitals of earth : such an one is liar and murderer, debauched, drunken, sexless, and spatulate ; an ape-dropping, a lousy, flat-backed knave: from su…

…our who proceeds By doing to abolish deeds. Not by the pipings of a bird In skies of blue on fields of gold, But by a fierce and loathly word The abomination must be told. The holy work must twist its spell From hemp of madness, grown in hell, Only by energy and strife May man attain the eternal rest, Dissolve the desperate lust of life By infinite agony and zest. Thus, O my Kali, I divine The golden secret of thy shrine!

…. The third stage is marked by Buchari-siddhi: 'the power of jumping about like a frog' would be a rough translation of this fascinating word. This is a very extraordinary phenomenon. You are sitting tied up on the floor, and you begin to be wafted here and there, much as dead leaves are moved by a little breeze. This does happen; you are quite normal mentally, and you can watch yourself doing it. The natural explanation of this is that your muscles are making very quick short spasmodic jerks without your being conscious of the fact. The dog he…

He sketches (vi.) his argument; but letting fall the word “love” is rapt away into a lyrical transport (vii. and viii.) Further, bidding her (ix.) to fly with him, he points out the value of courage, and its rarity among the bourgeoisie. He calls upon her to awake her own courage, and (x.) bids her embark. His appeal fails, since (xi.) the garter still demands explana- tion. He then shows (xii.) that mental states are not independent of their physical basis, and…
