HAROLD MONRO . AN IMPRESSION . SHE wakes at sunrise on her little bed, Knits her white hands together round her knee , Shakes back her tangled hair , lifts up her head, And gazes through the casement at the sea .

Our friends a little while may grieve, And then forget: but we, elate, Live in a larger air: awake, Compassion in the Halls of Truth ! Disdain love for love’s very sake ! Take all our beauty, strength, and youth, And melt them in the crucible To that quintessence at whose gleam Gold shudders and grows dull; expel The final dross by intimate stream Of glowing truth, our lunar light ! Are you not ready? Who would stay? Arise, O Queen, O Queen of Night ! Ar…

Ignorance is the greatest of all Fetters, and, “he who sins inadvertently,” as Nagasena said, “has the greater demerit.” Enquiring into the particular nature of Ignorance Buddha discovered th…

It is necessary for the reader to gain this clear conception of Levi’s inmost mind, if he is to reconcile the “contra- dictions” which leave Waite petulant and bewildered.

…the Poet, Outs With It Originally published in the 1913 edition of The World on Fire or Englands Own Inferno. In point of fact, gallant little Germany is against a world in arms.

While I was dressing the wounds he said feebly and dreamily :— “She it is, she, that found me ‘In the morphia honeymoon ; With silk and steel she bound me; In her poisonous milk she drowned me, Even now her arms surround me.” “Yes,” I said, “‘ but it’s your wife who loves you and is going to nurse…
