A casual carpenter wandered about a string of villages; and suddenly a horde of rich men and sceptics and Sadducees and respectable persons rushed at him and nailed him up like vermin; then people saw that he was a god. He had proved that he was not a common man, for he was murdered. And ever since his creed has proved that it is not a commen hypothesis; for it is hated. ‘Next week I hope to make a f…

Yet it is true; and they have this insight be- cause they serve, and because they can have no personal interest in the affairs of those whom they serve.

We cannot shrink from looking behind the veil, and asking ourselves— What is life at best?. Mr. Crowley seems to hold that the worldis reek- ing with rottenness—and he is, to a great extent, right... . These daring verses contain a large share of elemental truth…
