…es! ....For then the soul is free to leap above it, To soar, to dive, to seek and find his mate In the dominion of the uncreate, ....And lastly --- to return to it, and love it! This was my last adventure. I returned to New York by short stages and resumed the anchorless tossing. The one new feature was my affair with Stuart X. The next act was the appearance of Ananda K. Koomaraswamy, the Eurasian critic of religion and art, with his wife, Ratan Devi, a musician from Yorkshire, who had fallen in love with him and filched him from his first wif…

…g the mystical union which restores man to his original privileges, free will, immortality, the preception of truth and so on. I put the last ounce of myself into this book. My previous efforts in the {451} same direction would have deceived nobody, but the Bagh-i-Muatar, despite my inability to produce the Persian original --- my excuse was that it was rare and held the most sacred and most secret, but was being copied for me --- persuaded even experienced scholars that it was genuine. It was issued by Probsthain & Co., by private subscription…

… rarely dispose me to write the result. I lie fallow and the expression of ecstasy follows my return to physical comfort and leisure. My last important work had been done at Marseilles on the way out, where we had to wait two days for a boat to take us to Algiers. I spent the time in writing the essay on the Cabbala which appears in The Equinox Vol. I, No. v. I had no books of reference at hand and therefore put down only what was in my memory. This is a good plan. It prevents one from overburdening the subject with unimportant details. In one'…

…sure that I facilitated the process of becoming famous. I should doubtless have done so, whatever name I had chosen. {141} 17 I began my last year at Cambridge with my moral decks cleared for action. I didn't know where I was going, but I was on the way. I was thus quite ready for the perception of the First Noble Truth, but also for an entirely new current to influence my life. Towards the end of the October term I met a man named Herbert Charles Jerome Pollitt. He was an M.A., ten years older than myself, and had merely come up to Cambridge t…

They saved a few thousand for the fool and kept him on short commons to teach him sense. He had snarled and become a socialist. I met him at the Gargotte off Holborn, being the only man there who looked at all like a gentleman. I paid him special attention. This suited him down to the ground. He saw a chance to cadge. He agreed with me about socialism. …

ELVIRA Was thy fault to be too tender? ...Was thine error to be weak? Was my kiss the first offender ...Pressed upon thy blushing cheek? Heaven at your accurst creation ...Shall become a hell of fire: Death for kisses, and damnation ...For your love, shall God require! What is worthy of note is what I may call the Laus veneris point of view; which s…

So at last he came to a river, and sailing to its source he found a fair woman all naked, and she filled the river from two vessels of pure water. “She-devil,” he cried, “have I gone back one step ?” For the Star Venus burned above. And with his sword he clave her from the head to the feet, that she fell clean asunder. Cried the echo: “Ah ! thou hast slain hope now !” Our Father gladdened at Intellectus. Deus. H. et…

The last berth for San Francisco via the Sandwich Islands was sold over my head. Alas! --- had I only known! A quarter of an hour's delay caused me to miss what might have been the most dramatic moment of my life. The ship I should have sailed by left Honolulu in due course and fetched up four days later outside the golden Gate --- to find San Francisco a raging flower of flame.

But though, always on the original hypo- thesis of the infinity of space, &c., the Ad- vaitist position of the Vedantists and the great Germans is unassailable, yet on practical grounds the Dvaitists have all the advantage. Fichte and the others exhaust themselves trying to turn the simplé and obvious posi- tion that: ‘‘ If the Ego alone exists, where is any place, not only for morals and religion, which we can very well do without…

Such is my own point of view with regard to my adventures in America.

…he midst of them, went his way." I am aware that this sounds like a fish story. But as a matter of fact people who lived with me for the last three years or so have noticed that I make myself invisible quite frequently, and that (apparently) when I am not aware that I am doing so. There is a peculiar type of self-absorption which makes it impossible for people to be aware of one. In these recent cases, the observer who could see me quite plainly because in sympathy with me, could also see that the other people in the street --- or wherever it w…
