Morn and noon and eve and night I, the forlorn eremite, Called on Him with mild devotion, As the dewdrop woos the ocean. I had all the innocence and helplessness if a child at the period when it gropes instinctively for someone to love it, someone whom it knows and trusts, who is infinitely strong, infinitely wise and infinitely kind. {514} I am not quite sure why I chose the word "Augoeides" to represent my thought.

And now the sun is risen above the deep ; The mists pass slowly on the uplands steep ; Far snows are luminous with rosy flecks Of lambent light, and shadow tints and decks Their distant hollows with black radiance, While the delivered fountains flash and glance Adown the hills and through the woods of pine And stately lar…

If we back a winner we ask our friends to come and have a “night out” with us; and if the wrong colours go by, well, we don’t pawn our breeches to buy a revolver. If it were possible for boredom to descend upon us we should not say “sucks” to it, like Philpotts, but should retire into Dhyana or Samadhi.

…l be familiar to all of you. Probably most of you have been out at some time or other in what is grotesquely known as the silence of the night, and you will have become aware of infinitesimal movements of light in the darkness, of elusive sounds in the quiet. They will have soothed you and pleased you; it will never have occurred to you that these changes could each one be felt as a pang. But, even in the earliest months of Yoga, this is exactly what happens, and therefore it is best to be prepared by arranging, before you start at all, that yo…

…ary 1979, she and her young man had gone to the south of France to get cured of the opium habit. In such cases insomnia is frequent. One night, however, he had gone to sleep and on waking in the morning found that she, wakeful, had drawn a copy of the stele on a great sheet of paper. It is very remarkable that so large a sheet of paper should have been at hand; also that they should have taken that special book on such a journey; but still more that she should have chosen that picture, nay, that she, who had never done anything of the sort befo…

Note Christ as the Healer, and also his own expression: “The Son of Man cometh as a thief in the night.” Also this scripture (Matthew xxiv, 24‐7): “For as the lightning cometh out of the East and shineth even unto the West, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.” Note also Christ’s relations with the money‐changers, his frequent parables, and the fact that his first disciple was a publican, i.e., tax‐collector. Note also Mercury as the deliverer of Prometheus. One half of the Fish symbol is also c…

I went one memorable Wednesday night to No. 29.3 For my advent in this most re- putable quarter of the city, which is, after all, Yama,? and equally handy for the consul, the chaplain, and the doctor, readers of Rossetti will expect no excuse; for their sakes I may frankly admit that I was actu- ated by other motives than interest and solicitude for my companion, a youth still blindly groping for Romance beneath the skirts of tawdry and pai…

"But had it not been for the garter, I might never have seen the star,” Mr. Crowley says. Hence we look from the garter to the more starry part of Mr. Crow ley’s work, for he has learned a good deal about Eastern philoso hy at first hand, which is well worth consideration. Captain Fuller describes “ rowleyanity” as being “ the conscious communion with God on the part of an Atheist, a tra…

Ah turn! my bosom for thy love is cold ; My arms are empty, and my lips can hold No converse with thee far away like this. O for that communing pregnant with a…

…ward Crowley died. The course of the disease had been practically painless. Only one point is of interest to our present purpose. On the night of March 5th, the boy --- away at school --- dreamed that his father was dead. There was no reason for this in the ordinary way, as the reports had been highly optimistic. The boy remembers that the quality of the dream was entirely different from anything that he had known. The news of the death did not arrive in Cambridge till the following morning. The interest of this fact depends on a subsequent par…

The sand along the glittering shore Is all of diamond ; rivers pour Unceasing floods of light along, Whose virtue is so bitter strong That he who bathes within them straight Rises an angel to the gate Of heaven and enters as a king.

But he spake never unto us, though his lips moved and his eyes sought ever that which we could not see. At last, on the day of D., the mother of P.,? he straightened himself up and spake. This his final discourse was written down then by the dying lions in their own blood, traced willingly on the desert sands about the Grove of the Tlustrious. Also h…

At 10:07 on the second night this section was traversed by a rowing boat manned by two men and a shapeless heap in the stern, which might have been a third or a cargo -- it was too dark to make sure. They rowed in dead silence with muffled oars. They were clearly about some secret business. The next morning, looking for something under my pillows, I found my revolver was missing. I did not like it. The evening before, both the boys …
