…y and Molly part. The effect of his last dose is worn off : clutching his prescription, he goes off with set teeth. Molly goes the other way : to her enter a theatre-goer. MOLLY. Won’t you come with me, ducky ? THEATRE-GOER. Not to-night. See you some other night.
…ff. II. They told me I was damned. The Shroff! Gave me ten dollars Mex. (For ease Of English souls the dead Chinese Are taxed) to pay my way in hell. On one pound sterling one lives well. For luxuries are cheaply paid Since Satan introduced Free Trade; And necessaries—woe is me !|— Are furnished to the damned soul free. Ill. God’s hell, Earth’s heaven, are not so far. Dinner brought oysters, caviar, ) Anchovies, truffles, curried rabbit (Bad for the apoplectic habit) While ancient brandy and champagne Washed down the dainties. Once again 1 Mone…
… upspring the sisters seven ; While answering flames illume the deep, The blue pavilions blaze to heaven. Silent and stern the northward way They ride; alone before his men Staggers through black to rose and grey Sir Palamede the Saracen.
… Very early during my retirement in Kandy, I had been trying to concentrate by slanting my eyes towards the tip of my nose. This, by the way, is not a good practice; one is liable to strain the eyes. But what happened was that I woke up in the night; my hand touched a nose; I immediately concluded that some one was in the room. Not at all; I only thought so because my nose had passed away from the region of my observation by the practice of concentrating upon it. 12. The same sort of thing occurs with adequate concentration on any object. It is…
…tices you mean to begin, how you get on with them from day to day, and (at intervals) what I have to say about your progress. Remember always that we have no use for piety, for vague chatter, for guesswork; we are as strictly scientific as biologists or chemists. We ban emotion from the start; we demand perception; and (as you will see later on) even perception is not acceptable until we have made sure of its bases by a study of what we call the 'tendencies'. That is all about the Magical Record; the way is now clear to set forth our Method. Th…
… radiance about her tiniest gesture. She had no affectation about being an artist. She happened to like these people in exactly the same way as a Methodist old maid in Balham might take an interest in natives of Tonga, and so she went about with them. Her mother didn’t mind. Probably, too, the way things are nowadays, her mother didn’t matter. You mustn’t think that we were any of us drunk,
…. My mind was very active, but only so within peculiar limits. I did not seem to be directing the current of my thoughts. In an ordinary way that fact would have annoyed me intensely. But now it merely made me curious. I tried, as an experiment, to fix my mind on something definite. I was technically able to do so, but at the same time I was aware that I considered the effort not worth making. I noticed, too, that my thoughts were uniformly pleasant. Curiosity impelled me to fix my mind on ideas which are normally the source of writation and wo…
… the terrific precipices we could see the remains of successive civilisations ; Greek temples, Roman walls, Saracen cisterns, Norman gateways, and houses of all periods were perishing slowly on the gaunt, parched crags. It was very hard work for Lou and myself to climb the hill in the wretched condition of our health. We had to sit down repeatedly on the huge boulders which lined the paths that wound among the well-tilled fields dotted with gnarled gray olives. - The air of the place was a sublime intoxication, and yet its enchantment merely ru…
EPISTOLA ULTIMA 501 scientific experiment as we know them, are altogether in their way dependent on the existence of our own peculiar natures. If, for example, we had no sense to use in our exploration but that of hearing, we should have worked out a classification of trees entirely different from that which we now possess. We should have taught our students how to distinguish the sounds made by an oak and an elm respectively in a storm; the differences in the rustling of various kinds of grass, and so on. Similarly the results of our magical e…
…n of the grape ! — But the truer sense than the eye and the ear Make to appear ! CHRYSIPPUS Verily, master, I obey. I travel the exalted way. I pierce the sense ; I gain the goal, Distill the essence of the soul — HERACLEITUS I shroud thee in the web of wool. I lift the burden of the bull. Lion and eagle ! dart ye forth Into the cold clime of the North,
… disease as nephritis. The general tone of the blackness of the debris is peculiarly unsympathetic. There was no difficulty in finding a way up the snout. I knew that the first camp, Liligo, was on the left bank, so moved over in that direction. (German professors two hundred years hence are requested not to confuse the name of this parau with the "little-go" at Cambridge, though both are alike first stages on a lonely climb leading to nowhere.) The glacier was a complete revelation to me. The difference in scale had merely multiplied one's dif…
IMPROVISING A TEMPLE 175 Wha t is really more significant is the hidden, the unexpressed, soul of the Book; the way in which it leaps into wild spate of rhapsody on any excuse or no excuse. This is surely more convincing than some dreary thesis, plodding along doggedly with the "proof" (!) that "God is good," every sentence creaking with your chalk-stones and squeaking with the twinges of your toe! Yet just because I proclaim a doctrine of joy in the language of joy, people - dull camels-say I am not "serious." Yet I have found pleasure in harn…
…verse At that last lifting of my strenuous curse. Slow steals the ambient light : white peace resumes In planet, element, and sign, her sway. The twisted ether shapes itself : relumes The benediction all the faded fumes With holier incense : in the fervid way All nature rests : with holy calm I blend Blessing and prayer at the appointed end.
…. The Unknown Minstrel. Count me your children their arithmetic ! Zero, the circle, grows to one, the line : Both limitless in their own way. Proceed. Two is by shape the Coptic aspirate, Life breathed, and death indrawn. And so Rounds you at last the ten, completion's self, The circle and the line. Why stick at nought ? Bertram. Only a donkey fastened to a post Moves in a circle. Landgrave. This is noble talk ! 114
…s. All on a sudden silence came Athwart some avenue Where through the trees arrowed the flame From the exultant blue ; And all the water-way became One heart of glittering dew. The waters narrowed for a space Between twin rocks confined, Carven like Gods for poise and grace, Like miracles for mind: Each fashioned like a kissing face, The eyes for joy being blind. The waters widened in a pool, Broad mirror of blue light. The surface was as still and cool As the broad-breasted night. Engraven of no mortal tool, The granite glistened white. As if …
…aughed with joy new - born , " Is this life ? ” she said . There was labour of the day , Dust upon her feet , Scorching of the shadeless way , Clamour of the street ; All a human want and pain , Laughter fraught with tears ; Toil , when toil we know is vain , Hope , when hopes are fears ; 159
…ow all bitterness, thy teeth fixed in the Sodom-Apple. Thus hast thou been lured along That Path, whose terror else had driven thee far away. O thou that stridest upon the middle of The Path, no phantoms mock thee. For the stride’s sake thou stridest. Thus art thou lured along That Path, whose fascination else had driven thee far away. O thou that drawest toward the End of The Path, effort is no more. Faster and faster dost thou fall; thy weariness is changed into Ineffable Rest. For there is no Thou upon That Path: thou hast become The Way.
… and Liber CMXIII (Thisharb) a sound Official Instruction on the two main methods of acquiring this faculty. None of my writings, by the way, deal with the First Method; this is because I could never make any headway with it; none at all. Fr:. lehi Aour , on the other hand, was a wizard at it; he thought that some people could use it that way, and others not: born so. If it should happen that you have that faculty, and no gift at all for the other , it's just too bad; you'd better buzz off, and get another Holy Guru less one-legged. There are, …
THE FOURTH DAY “ Amen, if you love her ; for the lady is very well worthy.” Much Ado about Nothing. I took another way to shield my love. I turned my thoughts to the abyss of sky, Pierced the frail veil, and sought Eternity ; Where the Gods reign most passionless above All foolish loves of men, and weary of The slow procession of Earth’s mystery ; Where worlds, not men, are born and live and die, And aeons flit unnoticed as a dove. Thither I fled, busied myself with these ; When—lo ! I saw her shadow following ! In every cosmic season-tide of s…
