…ight and day beats like a waving fan No more, no more : the years, Reft of their joys and fears, Pass like pale faces, leave the life of man Untroubled of their destines, Leave him forgotten of life and time, immortal, calm and wise. Only the ceaseless surf on coral towers, The changeless change of the unchanging ocean, Laps the bright night, with unsubstantial motion Winnowing the starlight, plumed with feathery flowers Of foam and phosphor glory, the strange glow Of the day’s amber fallen to indigo, Lit of its own depth in some subtle wise, A…

…d, nurse, educate, and perform those physical tasks for which their coars- er nervous system and lack of intelligence fit them. But no woman is a fit companion for a man ; she of necessity degrades him. Luckily, in the case of the best men, she disgusts him. How many women have left any mark on history, save by the excess of their impudicities and whore- doms ? We must exclude those born to queendom. I can think but of one, Jeanne d’Arc, an example of the opposite abnormality, frigidity.

…s, Douglas, smashing the neck of a bottle of whisky on the edge of the table, was drinking the good health of his visitor, an American woman of the name of Cremers. Her squat stubborn figure was clad in rusty-black clothes, a man's except for the skirt; it was [198] surmounted by a head of unusual size, and still more unusual shape, for the back of the skull was entirely flat, and the left frontal lobe much more developed than the right; one could have thought that it had been deliberately knocked out of shape, since nature, fond, it may be, of…

Once he came upon a regiment of Turcos being transferred to another sector — every man of them with a trophy of the great battle. His intense love for all savage men, true men unsp…

…facts, a fatal fault in such jewel-work as a sonnet should be, and approaching the abyss of didacticism. Again, he is fatally obscure in many places. Often the sonnet-metre is at fault, and his un- doubtedly great gift of compression fails to compass all his ideas into the fourteen permissible lines. Some are quite unintelligible without reference to the Shakespearian ambiguity at the head ; others are still obscure unless a clear under- standing of, and sympathy with, the man’s position (and the woman’s) at the time be ever xv

CHAPTER I ASANA ΗΕ problem before us may be stated thus simply. A man wishes to control his mind, to be able to think one chosen thought for as long as he will without interruption As previously remarked, the first difficulty arises from the body, which keeps on asserting its presence by causing its victim to itch, and in other ways to be distracted. He wants to stretch, scratch, sneeze. This nuisance is so persistent that the Hindus (in their scientific way) devised a special practice for quieting it.
