… the chill canal with manifold Lays of clear morning ; never grow afraid When he dips down beyond the far flat land, Know never more the day and night apart, Know not where frost has laid his iron hand, Save only that it fastens on my heart ; Save only that it grips with icy fire These veins no fire of hell could satiate ; Save only that it quenches this desire. Let me pass out beyond the city gate.’ We should like to give other examples, but we can only name some of those pieces that seem to us the most remarkable. Such are ‘ An Ill Dream,’ of…

The universe-day (Whereof I am a second) Shall fall away And be no more reckoned; Shall fall into ruin. (Sad garden it grew in !) Unguessed at, unknown, Beyond them alone, Is a space that is grey As it caught them, and beckoned, And lost them—their way Is nor counted nor reckoned ! Inconceivable hollow, Eternity’s womb! Cataclysmal they follow, Tomb hidden in tomb. Keeled off and unspun, Time’s fashion is done In the ultimate Abysses …

…see Letter A for this dialogue. Furthermore, he insisted that each student perform certain exercises and prayers at set times during the day, primarily that the whole pattern of life be thus dedicated to the Great Work. He coined a phrase "background-concentration" for this procedure . It implied that by so doing, a tendency would be initiated toward concentration which would stand the student in good stead when, or as, he approached the problem of teaching the mind to center itself. Letter A gives much of this approach, but the concept is scat…

He seemed to have shrunk. His black clothes had fitted him like the skin of a well-conditioned porpoise. Now they hung loosely like a toad’s. He resembled that animal in several other respects. The virtue had somehow gone out of him. There was a hungry, hunted look in his eyes. Of course, I could see instantly what was the matter with him; he had been taking hero…

I got a man and wife and their daughter to come in and do for us, so we're really very comfortable, in a countrified way. I couldn’t have any one while Peter was raving. The waiter from the inn is a Swiss. He kept his mouth shut ; and I saw to it that he had no reason to regret the policy. What I can’t remember is how Peter began to get better: mentally, I mean.

Our party, strolling down to our bathing bay-the loveliest spot of its kind that I have ever seen-over a hillside where there wasn't cover for a rabbit, would lose sight of me, look, and fail to find me, though I was walking in their midst.

But it takes us a very short time to realise that there is not enough heroin in the world to tide us over a single day in such a ghastly place, so we quit.” Here was another of Basil’s paradoxes in full working order. But they came quite differently from the lips of a steady-going serious-minded person of this kind. The personality of the Big Lion is his greatest asset in one way, but in another it handicaps him frightfully.
