… envy must drive us to as- sume a mystical sense for these writings. 16. Hua — He. But it is further the true and secret unpronounceable Name of God, concealed by its obviousness. The 100th name, about which people make such a fuss, is simply Allah [Persian text] itself, the other 99 merely replacing Allah in the sentence Hua Allahu alazi wailaha illa Hua, thus : Hua Arrahmanu alazi etc., and so for the rest. How [Persian text] came to mean God ([Per- sian text] the God) is a question for the profoundest scholarship ; but we note that [Persian …

…se ” ; hence the phrase, Az matla’ ta mak- ta’, “ from beginning to end.” In the Makta’, or close, the poet manages to introduce his own name, or rather his assumed or poetic name, called the Takhallus, though few of the older poets paid strict attention to this rule previous to the time of Hakim Sanayi, between A.D. 1150 and 1180. Anwari occasionally introduces his own name in his Ghazals, but it is the exception and not the rule in his case. As a general law, the Ghazal must consist of at least five couplets, and not more than fifteen ; but o…

…allant soldier who penned these lines, and gave his life to his country in S. Africa, we do not carry out his intention of attaching his name to them (during her lifetime) and designate him only by his chosen non de plume, Alain Lutiy. Ed.] 1. The two books have nothing in common but the name. Garden is the almost universal glyph for a book of mystic lore, and Perfume for divine chr- ism. The Arab book is a treatise on the various methods of copulation, plus some obscene stories, and a collection of prescriptions against impotence, pregnancy, a…

Jolly Roger — again a coarse expression, best untranslated. The notorious debauchery of pirate ships, and the slang verb “ Roger ” (futuere]) sug- gested the present phrase. 6. The text would justify us in reading “ rounded pearls ” [Persian text] fairy (peri of Moore) and [Per- sian text] fullness.

24 we suspect) author of ‘ White Stains ’, and the nameless Aristophanes who wrote the ‘ Nameless Novel ’, nobody in modern times has dared to voice openly the supreme sanity, the splendid athletic- ism, and the unutterable spirituality of the male rapture of the passion between man and man. In treating of this matter I must first premise that by paederasty I mean actual sodomy as de- fined by British law1 — immissio penis in corpus vivum. “ Arse makes life golden, want of it dull yellow ; The rest is only leather and prunella.” At least, the r…

He is about to bear witness that there is no God but God, and Mo- hammed is his prophet (i.e. about to resign himself to death), when he is lifted out by a woman’s hand and set on solid earth again. “ O ass ! how dost thou dare awaken Ayeshah the promised wif…
