…t must be trampled under foot as if they were the very cockroaches of hell, before Freedom of even a protoplasmic kind can be brought to life. Better be a savage, a one-legged hottentot, better be anything than a civilised eunuch, a crape-capped “ widder ” in Upper Tooting lamenting her “demised husband” whilst she counts the halfpence he has left behind him in his trouser pockets. If there is going to be a flood, let it be grand, typhoonic, tor- rential; do not let others pass by us and say: “ Really, my dear, what an insalubrious odour!” The …

My mind is obsessed by the thought of the drug. Sometimes it’s a weird ecstasy, sometimes a dreadful misgiving. “Not thirst in the brain black-bitten In the soul more sorely smitten !

Now this man is also called a Black Magician, and a great deal of confusion has arisen in connection with this phrase. Even the Author, to judge by the Note, seems to confuse the mat- ter. Red Caps and Yellow Caps alike are in general alto- gether beneath the stage of which we have been speaking. And from the point of view of the Master of the Temple, there is very …

…Thomson in The City of Dreadful Night, "O melancholy brothers, dark, dark, dark." This superb dirge ends: But if you would not this poor life fulfil, Lo, you are free to end it when you will, Without the fear of waking after death. Darkness falls, complete and sudden; a wild dance to the tomtom ends in {637} the crash of the dancer's body at the foot of the altar. Silence. A shot. The ghastly flickering of incandescent sodium vapour then lights up the veil. The officers are seen with all the colour of their robes, and faces transformed to livid…

Call then reproach upon these maiden rites ! ORPHEUS. Nay ! virtue is the devil’s name for vice, And all your righteousness is filthy rags Wherein ye strut, and hide the one base thought.

Suppose, for example, he happens to be a musician, there will be an entire side of his character to which I am practically insensitive. You could talk to him for hours, and I would understand little or nothing of what was said. Similarly, if he were a mountaineer, it would be your turn to be odd man out. Love is th…

…t set up against science and philo- sophy, and even to-day its ruins stand, albeit wrapped in the lurid flames of Hell. It is the law of life, this cycle; decadence is perfection, and the perfect soul is assumed into the bosom of Nephthys, so that for a while the world lies fallow. It is in feiling to see this constant fume of incense rising from the earth that pessimistic philosophies make their grand fundamental error: in that, and in assuming the very point in dispute, the nature of the laws of other worlds and the prospects of the individua…
