So Cypris comforts her with tender words That pierce her bosom, like dividing swords, With hopes and loves requickened, and her breath Grew calm as worship’s, though as dark as death Her soul had been for weary days no few ; Now, lightened by the spirit thrust anew As into a dead body breath of life, She gave sweet thanks with gentle lips that ope, Like buds of roses on the sunny slope Of lily gardens falling toward a stream That flashes back t…

…. Our next planet is Mercury, and the Niyama which correspond to him are as innumerable and various as his own qualities. Mercury is the Word, the Logos in the highest; he is the direct medium of connection between opposites; he is electricity, the very link of life, the Yogic process itself, its means, its end. Yet he is in himself indifferent to all things, as the electric current is indifferent to the meaning of the messages which may be transmitted by its means. The Niyama corresponding to Mercury in its highest forms may readily be divined…

… The NAME itself, accordingly, is no longer a fixed symbol, emblem of ex‐ tension and limit, but a continuously revolving sphere; in the words of Zoroaster, “rebounding, whirling forth, crying aloud”.

But my hand Still flings its gesture of supreme command Upwards; my voice still dares to tongue the word That hell and chaos and destruction heard And ruined, shrieking! yea, my strong voice rolls, That martyr-cry of many slaughtered souls, Utterly potent both to bless and ban— I, I command thee in the name of Man!

…meone whom it knows and trusts, who is infinitely strong, infinitely wise and infinitely kind. {514} I am not quite sure why I chose the word "Augoeides" to represent my thought. It may well be because it was not spoilt for me by any personal association with the past. I have been carried away by the necessity of simplifying (to the utmost of my ability) the story of my passage through the Abyss. I must now explain why I issued from it with this particular idea of Augoeides rather than another, for every idea in my mind had been shattered in fr…

And in a word, whatever was the habit of the body during life would be distinguishable after death, either perfectly, or in a great measure and fora certain time.

In most similar cases it probably would not have done so. Most widows naturally remain in the groove. As things were, I found myself in a totally new environment.
