…p the sound, And, being in one tune securely bound, Even a star became the soul of silence most profound. Thus there, the centre of that death that darkened, I sat and listened, if God's voice should break And pierce the hallow of my ear that hearkened, Lest God should speak and find me not awake --- For his own sake. No voice, no song might pierce or penetrate That enviable universal state. The sun and moon beheld, stood still. Only the spirit's axis, will, Considered its own soul an sought a deadlier deep, And in its monotone mood Of supreme …

…thyself shall command our ways? Who has such pleasures and pains for hire ? Who can awake such a mortal fire In the veins of a man, that deathly days Have robbed of the masteries of desire? Who can give garlands of fadeless bays Unto the sorrow and pain we praise? 1 Priapus. Yea, we must praise, though the deadly shade . Fall on the morrow, though fires of hell Harrow our vitals; a miracle Springs at thy kisses, for thou hast made Anguish and sorrow desirable ; Torment of hell as the leaves that fade Quickly forgotten, despised, decayed. They a…

… amiable creature, however, had recently taken pity upon his host, and sought to establish a claim upon his gratitude by saving him from death. For one day, as the lawyer was about to drive across the village bridge he saw the broomstick fall from the sky and stand erect, precisely in his path. His horse reared; a moment later the bridge was swept away by the torrent. (This is really excellent Bortsch, Mr. Iff.) Well, I had been called in to investigate this matter, and there I was, installed in the house of my brother brigand. The results of m…

The triumph anthem overrides The ocean’s lamentable sides, And we are done with life; accurst Who linger; lost who find; but we Follow the gold wake of the first Who found in losing ; who reversed The dictates of eternity. Lo ! in steep meditation hearsed, Coffined in knowledge, fast we flee Unto the island from the sea. XXXITI. THE note of the silence is changed; the quarrel is over That rat…

…ssion, stimulates it by every means in his power. Yet all the time he nurses in his heart an agonizing certainty that this is the way of death. Balloch knew S.R.M.D. well; had known him for years. He hoped to supplant him, and while he feared him with hideous and unmanly fear, hated him with most hellish hatred. He was under no delusion as to the nature of the Path of the Black Lodge. Akbar Pasha, a mere outsider, without a crime on his hands as yet, was a rich and honoured officer in the service of the Sultan; he, Balloch, was an ill-reputed d…

The agony of extreme joy, And horror of the infinite blind Passions that sear us and destroy, Rebuilding for the deathless mind A deathless body, whose alloy Is gold and fire, whose passions find The tears of their caress a dew, Fiery, to make creation new. This agony and bloody sweat, This scarring torture of desire, Refine us, madden us, and set The feast of unbegotten fire Before our mouths, that mingle yet In this ; the mighty-moulded lyre Of many stars still strikes above Chords of the mastery of love.

Still we sit; and your head lies calm and splendid Shadowed, curve of an arm about it whisper- ing. Still your bosom respires its sighs of silver; Still one hand o’ me quivers close, caresses, Touches not. O a breath of sudden sad- ness Hides your face as a mis…

…s would succeed in luring Lisa to her destruction. This time the answer was more favourable, though tremulous. But ever since his wife's death, his demons had behaved very strangely. They seemed the prey of hesitation and even of fear. Such as it was, however, their voice now jumped with his own convictions, and he agreed to her proposal. They spent the evening merrily in torturing a cat by blinding it, and then squirting sulphuric acid on it from a syringe; and in the morning Cremers, with Abdul Bey for bait, set out upon her journey to Naples…

Obviously these are not plain, straightforward symbolic representations of the signs, elements and planets concerned. They are rather hieroglyphs of peculiar mysteries connected with each.

… Touched to the core by sweetnesses that smart ; Bitten by fiery snakes, whose poisonous breath Swoons in the midnight, and dissolves to death ! Ah! let me perish so, and not endure Thy falsehood who have known thy love was sure, Built up by sighs a palace of Jong years— Lo! it was faery, and the spell of tears Dissolves it utlerly. O bid them go, These white-faced boys, where calmer rivers flow And birds less passionate invoke the spring Or seck their loves with weaker, wearier wing. Turn back from safety! pour Brimstone and fire, and all his …

Give me the knowledge, me the power For some new sin one little hour, provoking Hell to belch us up. So in some damned abyss of woe thy chant should dazzle as of old, Thy kisses burn like molten gold, thy visions swing me to and fro.

…o dust," coupled with the idea of the return of the spirit to the God that gave it. And there is in this state some sister-similarity to death, one would not say sleep, for the soul of the sleeper is usually earth-bound by his gross desires, or the memory of them, or of his recent impressions. But the smoker of opium, and the saint, self- conscious of their nature celestial, heed earth no more, and on the pinions of imagination or of faith seek mountain-tops of being. It was in this state or one akin to it that Iliel found herself. And graduall…

Srp WiitraM Barretr’s book is decidedly well worth reading by those who im- agine that there is nothing in spiritualism and kindred subjects. Sir William Bar- rett has marshalled his facts and fictions in a very creditable manner. It is quite surprising how much he knows, and how clever he is, considering the limitations imposed on him by the fact that, li…

Yet she felt that she was slowly bleeding to death; it did not seem that any morning could ever come to her. She would not be able to face Cyril; it seemed somehow as if the shame were hers. And then she screamed aloud — a soft hand was on her shoulder. "Hush! Hush!" came a gentle voice in her ear. It was the girl who had waited on her at dinner. Even at the time Lisa had noticed that she was very different to the others; for they were of most cheerful c…
