…e . My longing has no shape or name, My joy is fleeting as the dew : Who heard a footstep as it came ? Or, when it vanished , knew Which way he might pursue ? At ebbing noon -tide on the hill You come- ah, surely you are there : So near you are , so near - and still I seek you everywhere, Nor find you anywhere. III. Pipe me a silver song, A fleeting strain , Like shining wind along A leafy plain Swift sunlight caught among Shadows and rain. Calling loud and calling still, Over mossy bank and rill , Piping soft and piping shrill . 180

… attempting the traverse. As I was to go down last, he was carrying the rucksack with our provisions. We made several attempts to find a way down the Zinal face; but always the slopes steepened until it became evident that they pitched over, and we had to retrace our steps. Ellis, however, was very annoyed at my caution and wanted to glissade, which was a proposal about as reasonable as jumping off the Eiffel Tower. Presently he made an excuse for taking off the rope and retired behind a rock while I sat down and lit my pipe. I was aroused by a…

…spread. As I think you must all feel sure by now, I know nothing what- ever of my subject. But scientific experiment in those days was always a very prolonged operation. They thought nothing of exposing some unknown substance to the rays of the sun and moon for periods of three months at a time, in the hope that in some mysterious way the first stage of some dimly-visaged operation might be satisfactorily accomplished. And even if they sacrificed a child every day, it would have taken a matter of two and a half years to dispose of 800 children.…

Thus hast thou been lured along that Path, whose terror else had driven thee far away. o thou that stridest upon the middle of the Path, no phantoms mock thee. For the stride's sake thou stridest. Thus art thou lured along that Path, whose fascination else had driven thee far away. o thou that drawest toward the End of The Path, effort is no more. Faster and faster dost thou fall; thy weariness is changed into Ineffable Rest . For there is no Thou upon that Path: thou hast become The Way. A…

THE LOST SHEPHERD I SHE walks among the starry ways, A crimson full-blown rose; Her heart bears all the yesterdays That love from love-dawn knows ; Her sunny feet are shod in gold, She swings a censer rare and old— Her heart the censer that she sways, Our Lady of the Snows. II I passed the morning she was born Within the heart of day ; A shepherd with a twisted horn I met upon the way. The straying sheep that autumn-tide Had wandered by the river-side; And so I spent that gladsome morn, And so I said my say. 131

…Now therefore that thou art come to the Age of Understanding, do hou give ear unto my Wisdom, for that therein lieth a simple and direct Way for every Man that he may attain to the End. Firstly, then, I would have thee to know that Spiritual Experience and Perfection have no necessary connection with Advancement in our Holy Order. But for each Man is a Path: here is a Constant, and there is a Variable. Seek ever herefore in thy Work of the Promulgation of the Law to discover in each Man his own true Nature. For in each Man his Inmost Light is t…

THE VISION AND THE VOICE (Note.—You do not come back in any way dazed; it is like going from one room into another. Regained normal con- sciousness completely and immediately.) Tue Cry OF THE 21ST AETHYR, WHICH IS CALLED ASP A mighty wind rolls through all the Aethyr; there is a sense of absolute emptiness; no colour, no form, no substance. Only now and then there seem, as it were, the shadows of great angels, swept along. No sound; there is something very remorseless about the wind, passionless, that is very terrible. In a way, it is nerve-sha…

THE EQUINOX where was no art to cut or polish, so that they look like bits of glass or half-sucked sweetmeats? The art of Russia has always been either without art, or with art derived. Napoleon was probably in an extremely bad temper when he spoke of Saint Basil’s as “that mosque,” but it is a mosque. It is probably the greatest building in the world in its peculiar way, but that way is the way of the mosque, even more so than St. Mark’s or the cathedral at Granada. But the great Russians are not less because they have been compelled to wear c…

Elevated some few hundred feet into the firmament, I was compelled to hop upon my giant pedestal in a way very ungraceful in a world where two legs were the fashion, and eminently disagreeable to the slighted member, which sought in vain to reach the earth with struggles amusing from their very insignificance. This ludicrous affliction being gradually removed, I went on my way quietly until we again began to be surrounded by the houses of the town.

Of the first way, the Mercy of God is that Mercy which Jehovah showed to the Amalekites; and the second way is utterly beyond thine understanding, for it is the upright, and thou knowest nothing but the averse,—until Wisdom shall inform thine Understanding, and upon the base of the Ultimate triangle arise the smooth point.

Peter Pan thought it best to remind him in a jocular way about his remark that we were to come when we needed him, and then introduced the subj ect of what we needed. But he took the words brutally out of our - mouths. “You needn't tell me what you need,” he said. “ The lack is only too obvious.” He said it in a non-committal way so that we couldn’t take offence; but we knew instinctively he meant brains. However, Peter stuck to his guns, like the game little de…
