…, pens his privates. Whoso sees an inhabitant thereof thenceforward for ever must believe in the predestination of the damned. Are we so far progressed as to interpret the saying “The Englishman’s house is his castle " in the light of the fact that once a man lay dead in his room for seven weeks, all undisturbed? Thus far the Socialist. To him enter a Man. Sayeth, the fate of men is naught; we measure mountain ranges by their peaks, not by their plains. And forthwith the Man must seek in Holbein House for some crown of the age, some Venus floati…

4o KONX OM PAX dealing with them; but I should be inclined to assert that it need never go so far as to postulate their reality, though one might possibly conceive of them as credulous to that extent. One could only harm them, though, by allowing them to possess such thoughts (involving further discrimination) as the perception of the pairs of opposites as real. In fact, my thought “ Bones ” may be allowed to believe that he is real, and that there is no other God but he—for such a thought is hardly an illusion—but Bones must not and shall not …

Who is Mr. Jones? asked Denzil. We have heard of him from our friend here already. Mr. Jones, said the big man, is the Unutterable Tao. Mr. Jones, said the doctor, is (on this illusory plane of Maya) one of the wonders of the world. He is never seen or heard, felt or smelt. Nor hath he been at any time tasted of any. Yet he is everywhere; in all, and causer of all, a…

The DAILY CHRONICLE says: Here is a master-voice in song, and none the less masterly because of its being entirely unknown. At the fact of its masterliness some persons will cavil; others will doubt it, blaming me in their minds as an injudicious optimist who, in uncut stones, sees finished gems of finest brilliance. But these stones from the mine of true poetry are cut in a manner t…

Because calomel is a dangerous remedy in appendicitis, we do not condemn its use in simple indigestions. “ As above so beneath! said Hermes the thrice greatest.

But that shows you how silly dream language is— really there is another way to put it: you can say they are two sisters, and one is very silly and ignorant, and the other has learnt to know and en…

Yet it is, in truth, far more than this, being a highly original study of morals and religion by a new writer, who is as entertaining as the average novelist is dull. Nowadays human thought has taken a higher place in the creation; our emo tions are weary of bad baronets and stolen wills; they are now only excited by spiritual crises, catastrophes of the reason, triumphs of the intelligence.
