…dead. Axetster CROWLEY. GITANJALI AND Frurit-GaTHERING. By RaBinDRANATH TacorE. The Macmil- lan Co. Price, $2.50. Known that whatever is good in Rabindranath Tagore is due to the style of W. B. Yeats, I expected the introduction to be by that individual, who might have been romantic if he had been willing to wash his face and put on a clean collar every month or so. The introduction begins, “A few days ago I said to a dis- tinguished Bengali doctor of medicine, ‘I know no German.’” Apart from the question as to whether Silly Willy counts his fo…

… to that fiend of the pit. But our Father paid no heed thereto and bade the demon to do his will, so that he brought him herbs many, and good, with which our Father planted a great grove that grew about him (for the sun was now waxen bitter hot) wherein he worshipped, offering in vessels of clay these seven offerings :2 The first offering, dust ; The second offering, ashes ; The third offering, sand ; The fourth offering, bay-leaves ; The fifth offering, gold ; The sixth offering, dung ; The seventh offering, poison.

They murder with the old perfume that maddens all men’s blood; we die Fresh from some corpse-clothed memory, some secret redolence of gloom, Some darkling murmurous song of lust quite strange to man and beast and bird, Silent in power, not overheard by any snake that eats the dust. No crimson-hooded viper knows ; no silver- crested asp has guessed The strange soft secre…

Scientific men are common enough in the West, if Buddhists are not; and I may safely leave in their h ands the task of castigating the sneak-thieves o f t he P hysical area. II.

Your reading will have given you some indication as to the sort of thing you are likely to be good at, and you select such practices as seem to you to promise well. You go ahead with these, and keep a careful record of what you do, and what results occur. After eleven months you submit a record to your superior; it is his duty to put you right where you have gone wrong, and particularly to encourage you where you think you have failed. 25.

The only question that arises is that of convenience in respect of any proposed operation. The whole of the moral and religious lumber of the ages must be discarded for ever before attempting Yoga. You will find out only too soon what it means to do wrong; by our very thesis itself all action is wrong. Any action is only relatively right in so far as it may help us to put an end to the entire pr…

I quite understand why the Times says that Mr. Cabell is “one of the most pretentiously attitudinizing of American authors.” The Times has had some. But what does the Times matter? It used to be the thunderer. It is now an imitation of thunder which only Martial could describe, or an ambitious Marine imitate. What in God’s name is an American author to do? He has got such a dreadful milieu that it i…
