… flowers against the wind ? Not Sandal, Taggara, nor Jasmine scent ! But the odour of the good doth so, the good pervadeth unto every element. When Sandal, Lotus, Taggara and Vassiki their odour rare Shed forth, their fragrant excellence is verily beyond compare. Yet little is this fragrance found of Taggara and Sandal wood : Mounts to the Gods, the highest, the scent of those whose deeds are right and good. Perfect in virtue, living lives of Earnestness, Right Knowledge hath Brought into liberty their minds, that Mara findeth not their path. A…

…t a woman can assert what is evidently her first right without undergoing phantastic penalties, although there are to-day thousands of women in every country who have told morality to go to its father, the devil, as Shaw so bombastically tells it todo. The phantoms which confront the free man are really just hollow turnips in churchyards. Take poor Ambrose, for example. He occu- pies one of the most important positions in New York City. He lives his own life for 15 years or so. Nobody is offended. Nobody is injured. Nothing whatever happens. A …

But I—I knew Jehu was here, whose sword should dip Deep in my love’s adulterous lip. The spirit filled me. Azad behold! I saw her dead stare to the skies: I came to her ; she was not cold, But burning with old infumtes. On her incestuous mouth I fell, And lost my soul for Jezebel. I followed him afoot, afire; Beneath her window he drew rein ; She looked forth, clad in glad attire, Haggard and …

…t then came into her mind that this egg was a great treasure, and that it was her duty to guard it against all comers; and at the same moment she saw that the creatures of the wood — "sons of the oak" she called them instinctively — were advancing toward her. She prepared to fight or fly. But, with a fearful crackling, the lightning — which was, in the strange way of dreams, identical with the oak — burst in every direction, enveloping her with its blaze; and the crash of the thunder was the fall of the oak. It struck her to the ground. The wor…

Soon, riding ever to the stubborn east, I came upon a shore whose ocean bent In one long curve, where folk were making feast. at So with no ‘heart to feast, I joined the mirth, Mingled the dances that delight the earth, And laughing looked in every face of guile.
