…e not ! MONICA. Your queen commands ; these are the last Of all the words that I shall say till Heaven opes. This is the golden gate and way of all my hopes. THE LIEUTENANT. High saint and virgin, we obey. MONICA. Make fast the ropes ! [They bind MONICA in silence, weeping, and lead her away.
… I did not know things as they are more truly than ever in the ordinary state? Let us not assert that the half-careless and uninterested way in which we generally look on nature is the normal mode of the soul’s power of vision. There is a fathomless meaning, an intensity of delight in all our surroundings, which our eyes must be unsealed to see. In the jubilance of hasheesh, we have only arrived by an improper pathway at the secret of that infinity of beauty which shall be beheld in heaven and earth when the veil of the corporeal drops off, and…

…yet so unlike, have analogies in the world of what we call real things. For example there are two kinds of sugar, exactly alike in every way but one. You know how a prism bends a ray of light? Well if you take a hollow prism, and fill it with a solution of one of these kinds of sugar, the ray bends to the right; use the other kind, and it bends to the left. Chemistry is full of these examples. "Then we have our hands and feet; however we move about, we can never make them fill exactly the same place. A right hand is always a right hand, however…
… are of value only as extending and equi- Jibrating Knowledge, or possibly as supplying Energy to such Magicians as may hâve found their way to the Sources of Strength. In ail cases, naught is worth an obol save as it serve to help the One Great Work. He who would reach Intelligences of the type under discussion may expect extreme difficulty. The paths are guarded; there is a lion in the way. Technical expertness will not serve here; it is necessary to satisfy the Warders of one’s right to enter the presence of the Master. Particular pledges ma…
…extreme difficulty of framing any satisfactory hypothesis to explain the occurrence. My observation turned out, therefore, to be (in its way) a matter of primary importance. I ventured to suggest an explanation of my own; but Professor Thompson felt that, while it covered the facts of the case and even those of previous observations, it involved a conception of electricity which was not easy to reconcile with the implications of certain other phenomena. In the course of our correspondence, Professor Thompson communicated several extremely subtl…
…hall behold On feet and plumes of gold My spirit soon enfold The flocks on heaven’s steep. Refreshed, encouraged, lightened, Sent on the Way Whose Sun and Star have brightened From dawning into day, I set my face, a flint, Toward where the holy glint Of lamps affords the hint That leads me—where it may. 85
…EROMITA ROSTRATA SWEET microscopic beauty ; born one day In not imperishable head of cod! Young organism Sporting flagella in a cheerful way, But neither cilium nor pseudopod ; Produced by schism ! Thou dost not browse on pastures bright and green, Or feed on palm trees in sublime oases In lands Semitic. Not holophytic is thy food I ween, Nor holozoic, as in other races, But saprophytic. When bliss conjugal is thine object praiseworthy A swimming form approaches to an anchored With zeal ecstatic : Affection of a healthy length of days worthy, Y…

…g fires ? X. Old Buddh gave command ; Jehovah spake ; Strange distant gods that are not dead to-day Added their voices ; Heaven’s desart way Man wins not but by sorrow—let him break The golden image with the feet of clay ! Let him despise That earthen vessel which the potter marred—and rise ! 1 6
THE VIRGIN IOI shall be pestered on our way by swarms of human blow - flies, that we shall tread on the scorpions of re ligion , the toads of society , and the blind -worms of the law ; that around us will whirl the vampires of the past , the kites of the present , the succubi of the future , is certain enough ; as a shrieking mass of hideous animosity they will conglobe around us, deafening us with the expletives of earth , blinding us with the fumes of hell , and rendering us insane with the inanities of heaven : This were my guerdon : to fad…
…stals. Rocks perched on {304} ice become very hot in an incredibly short time and break loose from the ice on which they are poised in a way which takes men of merely Alpine experience by surprise. My Mexican expedition proved invaluable in enabling me to foresee these phenomena. But the first warning was given on this march when two enormous stones which, anywhere else, would have stayed where they were for years, fell about twenty yards in front of me and the advance guard! When I say Korophon, it must not be imagined that it means anything m…
…be won by perfect organization under the eye of an Intelligence adequate to comprehend the general and the particular need together. The Way of Perfection is thus twofold: first, the True Will must be consciously grasped by the Mind, and this Work is akin to that called the attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. Second, as it is written: Thou hast no right but to do thy Will, each particle of energy which the Instrument is able to develop must be directed to the doing of that Will, and this is one fierce lion…
… one ends by understanding their exaggerations, while partaking their enthusiasms, one grows accustomed to their logic that has lost its way, one ends by finding that they are not as mad as one thought at first. Thence to believing that they alone are right there is but one step. One likes them, one approves of them, one is as mad as they are. The affections are free and may be based on reason, but sympathies are of fatalism, and very frequently unreasonable. They depend on the more or less balanced attractions of the magnetic light, and act on…

Out of Harm's Way 311 feeling grew that we had somehow strayed into an enchanted country. At the same time the country was enchanting. Dionysus was all on fire to get us up to the Abbey, and tugged at our arms. | ““ Now Di,” said Hermes, “ you know it’s wrong to pull at people like that. It’s one of the rules,” he explained to Lou, “ not to interfere with people. Big Lion says that every one would get on all right if only he were left alone.” He seemed to think the statement required explana- tion. ‘“‘ Cypris is reading Gibbon to us this week ;…
