Is it possible [fa/ters] that you still think this [fozzts to Dinys, who stands embarrassed and ashamed] to be the man ? ALAIN. Frankly, I do.

194 THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST But I have also answered: ‘‘ Let the groan Of this Thy world reach up to Thee, and wrest Thy bloody sceptre : let the wild winds own Man’s lordship, and obey at his behest !” Man has two minds: the first beholding all, As from a centre‘to the endless end: The second reaches from the outer wall, And seeks the centre. This I comprehend. But in the first: ‘I can—-but what is worth ?”’ And in the second: earth !” ‘*T am dust and THE TWO WISDOMS. SOPHIE! I loved her, tenderly at worst.

…el. It is the first novel of an epoch. It is the first attempt to depict a man who is living by the Law of Thelema, whose outlook on the world is based upon the magical formule of the #£on of Horus: “Every man and every woman is a star”; “There is no law be- yond Do what thou wilt.” Sanine absolutely refuses to be obfuscated by the fog of false morality. He judges actions by their real, not by their imaginary con- sequences, Bernard Shaw attempted this very feebly in his portrait of John Tanner; but Tanner, like Shaw himself, is a blustering an…
…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 civilized clothing. There is only one art purely Russian, and that is the ‘Russian Ballet,’ which was not invented by Russians at all. The real Russian ballet is a savage mimicry of the Italian ballet. Have you n…

Ye courageous men That scorn to flee the world, ye slaves Of commerce, ye that ply the pen, That dig, and fill, and loathe your graves !

… length the philosophy connected with this thesis. Her learning is enormous. She finds traces of similar beliefs in every country in the world, and (having a similar experience of her own) she can hardly be blamed for arguing that one thing confirms the other. Mr. Schroeder is quite logical in calling her paper An Unintentional Contribution to the Erotogenetic Interpretation of Religion, but commits the errors of petitio prin- cipii and non distributio medii with the most exquisite nonchalance. Only a law- yer could be so shameless. He begs the…

O thy dark daughters! their breasts are slack, . Their lips so large and as poppies red ; They lie in a furious barren bed ; They lie on their faces ; their eyelids lack Tears, and their cheeks are as roses dead ; 0 White are their throats, but upon the back Red blood is clotted in gouts of black.

…n every direction, enveloping her with its blaze; and the crash of the thunder was the fall of the oak. It struck her to the ground. The world went out before her eyes, dissolved into a rainbow rush of stars; and she heard the shouts of triumph of the "sons of the oak" as they dashed forward upon her ravished treasure. "Mitos ho Theos!" they shouted — Sister Clara did not know, or would not tell, its meaning. As the iridiscent galaxy in which she was floating gradually faded, she became aware that she was no longer in the wood, but in a strange…

The flag of your liberty furled? Your limbs are too strong to dismember— In sloth are they curled? The price of your freedom—I claim it! Your aid to make other men free ! Your strength—lI defy you to shame it ! Your peace—I defy it to be Dishonoured! Arise and proclaim it From sea unto sea ! From Ireland the voice of the dying, The murdered, the starved, the exile…
…are children still. This is only a book of fairy tales. But thank God! there are still some fairies. There are still a few people in the world who love beauty, and who are willing to fight for freedom. To read the newspapers, one would suppose that freedom was dead for ever. But with whatever bonds they will bind liberty, there will always be a few like Padraic Colum to keep Her torch alight. We may not be allowed to speak or write what we think, but life will always live in fairyland, and an hour cometh when the doors of fairyland will open, a…
