…arrived at. That if this little body dies, existence still remains in all the other part of the Universe and therefore the change called Death, occurring in different atoms, all the time, makes no difference. Is there any reason why one should not look upon every- thing and everybody as parts of Oneself, since one is equally willing to allow any other body to consider you as a part of their imagination only? It would seem that one tiny part—self—has been fondly cherished, while in reality that tiny part is but a reflex of the Whole which is rea…

…on earth So shall it be in resurrection birth. The cycle of weariness and passionate pain Is and was ever and must be again. There is no death! Ah! that is misery ! For this, Lord Christ, is it that thou wouldst be, Thou yesterday, to-day, and thou to-morrow ? The mystery of this our life is sorrow. LYETERNEL PRINTEMPS. I. THE eternal spring is in the heart of youth. | They are nearest to the secret of the world, These lovers with their lithe white bodies curled Into the rhythm of a dance; the truth Is theirs that feel, not ours that idly see ;…

… Her rape ere the zeons began Was sure; in one roar of red murder She breaks: He is Pan. He is strong to achieve, to forsake her ; He is death as it clings to desire, Ah, woe to the Earth! If he wake her, Air, water and spirit and fire Rush in to uproot her and break her :— Yet he is the broken ; the pyre, And the flame and the victim; the maker, And master and sire! And all that is, is force. A fatal and witless course It follows without remorse With never an aim. Caught in the net we strive ; We ruin, and think we thrive ; And we die—and rema…

…ut I] know not what strange words! And the poor good old man tried all he could to calm me; he thought I was mad! The fool! I was in the death struggle with self: God and Satan fought for my soul those three long hours. God conquered—now I have only one doubt left—which of the twain was God?

…fate, The inmost from the merely mental? Our star, the sun, gives life and light : Let that decay, the zeons drown Sense in stagnation ; death and night Smite the fallen fragments of the crown Of spring: but serves the garter so? What wandering meteor is this Across the archipelago Luminous of our starry bliss? Let that be lost: the smile disputes The forehead’s temple with the frown, When gravitation’s arrow shoots, And stockings happen to slip down. You are my heart: the central fire Whereby my being burns and moves, The mainspring of my life…

…m back. The land, Where rest is made eternal, slipped his clutch ; He wandered through the world and might not touch The sceptre of King Death. In vain he sought Those fierce embraces, nor availed him aught To numb the aching of his breast. The maid He loved, now freed from doom, no longer prayed For anything but to discover him, And her large eyes with weeping grew more dim Than are the mists of Autumn on the hills, She sought him far and near; the rocks and rills Could tell her nought; the murmur of the trees Told her their pity and no more ;…

… from the other, and we had not kissed. Only the perfume of her lips and hair Love’s angel wafted slowly to me there, And as I went like death away I wist Its savour faded, nor my soul aware. I turned and went away, away, away, Out of the night that was to me the day, And rode to meet the sun to hide in light The sorrow of the day that was the night. So I rode slowly in the morning gray, And all the meadows with the frost were white. And lo! between the mountains there uprose The winter sun; and all the forest glows, And the frost burns hke fir…

…anging of voices That lament or regret or are sad, But the sun in his strength rejoices, The moon in her beauty is glad. As timeless and deathless time passes, And death is a hermit that dwells By the imminent masses of ice, where the grasses Abandon the fells. There silence, arrayed as a spectre, Is visible, tangible, near, To the cup of the man pours nectar, To the heart of the coward is fear: Though the desolate waste be enchaunted By a spell that bewilders and chills, To me it is granted to worship the haunted Delight of the hills. To me al…

…mor- tality”: “Mamma gave some advice and now comes to help in the work of proving that the love and care and interest does not cease at death but all is intensified and de- sires become actions and have effect in friends and loved ones. No one has been able to prove the power of thought and we are not able to prove that we do some things but when we find that the things we think and wish for are taking place then we realize that our thought has had some power even though we did not speak or act. I have no interest whatever that the things said…

…I brought this out, while preserving the sublimity of the story. Again "Immortality" develops an idea in the Gorgias of Plato that after death one goes on doing very much what one did before. The style is at once passionate, pictorial, and terrifying and witty. Another new string to my lyre; I had been reproaching myself for my ignorance of the Sufi doctrines, and intended to cross Persia on my way back to England. For this purpose I began to study the language with a munshi. I began to imitate the poets of Iran. "Ali and Hassan" is a paraphras…

…ualities that can be predicated of anything may be ascribed to one or more of these Gunas: Tamas is darkness, inertia, sloth, ignorance, death and the like; Rajas is energy, excite‐ ment, fire, brilliance, restlessness; Sattvas is calm, intelligence, hicidity and balance. They cor‐ respond to the three principal Hindu castes. One of the most important aphorisms of Hindu philosophy is: “the Gunas revolve”. This means that, according to the doctrine of continual change, nothing can remain in any phase where one of these Gunas is predominant; howe…

…t my head answers for his head ; My people take his people’s grief. Sin, troth, to spare one harmless breath, Sith all my innocents earn death ! By timely mercy peace becomes, And kindly love, and intercourse Of goodly merchandise, that sums Contention in united force. ‘* Praise who, relenting, showeth pity; Not him who captureth a city !” A wild strong life I’ve made of mine. Not till my one good deed is done— Ay! for that very deed divine— Comes the fierce mouth of malison. So grows my doubt again, so swell My ancient fears for Israel. I hurl…

Yet we shall know; delighting still In the sole laughter death derides In vain; the indomitable will, Still burning in the spirit, guides Our hearts to truth ; we see, we know How foolish were the things he said, And answer in the afterglow How good it is that we are dead. Will you not come? Or, where the surf Beats on the coral, and the palm Sways slowly in the eternal calm Of spring, I know a mound of turf Good for our love to lie on; good For breezes, and for sun…

I know no heaven, no honour, half so sweet !
