In Alchemy we have again the descending arc, for we find that the ved powder cast upon the Water of the Metals pro- duceth the Golden Sol. But it is important not to confuse. The Christians have t…

…you. When the Saviour revealed the dogma of the real presence, did he not say: “The flesh profiteth nothing, but my words are spirit and life.” I do not give you the mystery of the incarnation for an anatomical phenomenon, nor that of transubstantiation for a chemical manipulation. By what right do you exclaim “Absurd!” ? I do not reason about any of the things you know; by what right do you say that I talk unreasonably? SCIENCE. I begin to understand you, or rather, I see that I shall never understand you. This being so, let us remain separate…

My whole life seemed at times to be one vast and slimy subterfuge to cozen death. Yet in the past month there had been a dozen outrages upon Europeans in Calcutta, some of them culminating in the most brutal murder. And I was the only Englishman who had come out on top. I had lost four rupees, eight annas, it is true; but I had won the victory, one against six. Thornton was in bed when I arrived; but I had not hesitati…

…n the fullest possible measure. {533} 60 The years 1907 and 1908 may be described as years of fulfilment. No new current came to stir my life; but the seeds which had been sown in the past came many of them to harvest. I had come to my full stature as a poet. My technique was perfect; it had shaken off from its sandals the last dust which they had acquired by walking in the ways of earlier masters. I produced lyric and dramatic poetry which shows an astounding mastery of rhythm and rime, a varied power of expression which has no equal in the hi…

I definitely appeal to my American readers to stand apart from their natural gratification at the first and their natural indignation at the second of these sections of my work, and to understand that my spiritual apprehension {725} of truth represents my real self, while my intellectual perceptions are necessarily coloured by my nationality, caste, education and personal predil…

…. A nation lives by its architecture; when it comes to consciousness of its soul, it feels that it has to build a house for that soul to life in. Such buildings must be utterly useless; the soul will not live in a Woolworth Building --- that is inhabited by the unclean spirit whose name is Legion, and that is the evidence that America, with all its material prosperity, has no soul. Nor is a man rich while he confines his purchases to things which are useful. The love of my wife had made me the richest man on earth and developed my human soul to…

The brave man rejoices in giving and taking hard knocks, and the brave man is joyous. The Scandinavian idea of Valhalla may be primitive, but it is manly. A heaven of popular concert, like the Christian; of unconscious repose, like the Buddhist; or even of sensual enjoyment, like the Moslem, excites his nausea and contempt. He understands that the on…
