What could have happened to them all? Peter says it’s the Germans. Part of a plot to perse- cute him for what he did in the war. But I don’t think so at all. It says in a book that you have to get rid of every one if you're going to start the spiritual life. I expect my spiritual guide put it into their minds to go, but I’m very doubtful about Cockie. He’s not ready for an…

… There are innumerable barrancas, with which Mexico had made me familiar. The atmosphere of China had by this time begun to soak into my soul. Chinese art explained itself as inspired by Chinese nature. There is a vast, free, pale, delicate expanse of colour and form, whose lines are visibly determined by the very structure of the globe itself. There is an infinite harmony and ease in a journey such as I was making. The physical geography is even more vast in its own way that that of the Himalayas; and the country seems somehow less definite, l…

… he lifted me bodily out of my chair as if he had reached down like Hercules into the darkest depths of hell, and dragged forth a damned soul into the light of heaven. He put her hands in mine and closed his own over them. “ Whom God hath joined together, ” he said solemnly, “let no man put asunder.” He turned on his heel and became a man of quick decisive action. “Maisie,” he said, ‘‘ you have the key.

There is a veil: that veil is black. It is the veil of the modest woman; it is the veil of sorrow, & the pall of death: this is none of me. Tear down that lying spectre of the centuries: veil not your vices in virtuous words: these vices are my service; ye do well, & I will reward you here and hereafter.

…s. I had a momentary thrill of joy—it reminded me of France so much—of all those days of ferocious gambling with Death. I couldn't see a soul I knew. But at least I knew by sight the two men at the next table. Every one knew that gray ferocious wolf—a man built in every line for battle, and yet with a forehead which lifted him clean out of the turmoil. The conflicting elements in his nature had played the devil with him. Jack Fordham was his name. At sixty years of age he was still the most savage and implacable of publicists. “ Red in tooth an…

Or am I, one and indi- visible in some incredible sense, a spark of the infinite light of God? I am going to think inwards: I shall possi- bly go into some form of trance, unintelligible to myself. You may be able to interpret it. The experiment had lasted about half an hour when he sat up gasping with effort. I have seen nothing, heard nothing, I said. Not one thought has passed from you t…

"Had Zimri peace who slew his master?" 3 A boisterous party was in progress. The dancer's lifelong friend, whom I will call by the name she afterwards adopted, Soror Virakam, was celebrating her birthday. This lady, a magnificent specimen of mingled Irish and Italian blood, possessed a most powerful personality and a terrific magnetism which instantly attracted my own. I forgot everything.

[BONES protests violently, and is reminded that dis cussion follows, net/er interrupts, the Paper.] But why insist? The so-called casuists of the Christian Church have exhaustively investi gated this subject; and all they say is none the less true because it is subtle or immoral, as the stupid and the puritan pretend.

…a man’s mental excellence seems to be measurable almost entirely in terms of the strength and depth of his apprecia tion thereof as the soul of the structure of the Universe. It is the spine of Science which has vertebrated human Knowledge above the slimy mollusc whose principle was Faith. We must not suppose for an instant that The Book of the Law is opposed to reason. On the contrary, its own claim to authority rests upon reason, and nothing else. It disdains the arts of the ora tor. It makes reason the autocrat of the mind. But that very f…

…her King by your "noble self-sacrifice," but you are almost bound to interfere with his True Will. "Charity" always means that the lofty soul who bestows it is really, deep down, trying to enslave the recipient of his beastly bounty! In practice, I begin afresh, it is almost entirely a matter of the point of view. "That poor chap looks as if a square meal wouldn't hurt him"; and you chuck him a half-crown. You offend his pride, you pauperize him, you make a perfect cad of yourself, and you go off with a glow of having done your good deed for th…
