…ittle boy what the time was. The gutter-snipe of the Flowery Kingdom hesitated at first, then, recollecting himself, he replied, I will find out for you. A minute later he reappeared, holding in his arms a fine big cat, and looking, as the saying is, in the white of its eyes, he unhesitatingly affirmed, It is just a little before noon. This turned out to be the case. As to me, if I bend over towards my beauti- ful Féline, so well named, who is at once the glory of her sex, the pride of my heart, and the incense of my spirit, whether it be n…

She rushed desperately from one prospect of prosperity to another, only to find herself despised and duped by the men she was trying to deceive. At last she dropped to the depth of despair and in her drowning struggles lost her last link with life and love. She became a traitor and a thief; and bolted with her spoils to hide herself, like Fafnir, from the very eye of heaven. I failed to divine the essential hopelessness of helping her. I idealized her; I robed her in the royal vestur…

…ditions, and avalanches or falling stones, two is evidently much safer than three. Another point is that it is at least twice as hard to find two competent companions as it is to find one. The combination of Mummery, Collie and Hastings could hardly happen again in a century. Mummery had a genius for rock climbing and an uncanny instinct for mountain problems in general. Collie was brilliant all round and had an absolute scientific knowledge of materials and a feeling for topography. Hastings was a tower of physical strength and endurance, an i…

…on between philosophical and practical points of view, or (in Qabalistic language) between Kether and Malkuth. In private conversation I find it hard—almost impossible— to get people to understand what seems to me so very simple a point. I shall try to make it exceptionally clear. A boot is an illusion. A hat is an illusion. Therefore, a boot is a hat. So argue my friends, not distributing the middle term. But thus argue I. All boots are illusions. All hats are illusions. Therefore (though it is not a syllogism), all boots and hats are illusion…

This Yod in the Virgin expands to the Babe in the Egg by formulating the Secret Wisdom of Truth of Hermes in the Silence of the Fool. He acquires the Eye-Wand, beholding and acting and being adored.
