…ore, O Bhavani, bring Thou all unto the Proper End! To Thee be Glory—OM. On the 6th of August P. landed in Colombo, and on the following day he went to see his old friend Frater I.A. who was now studying Buddhism with the view of becoming a Buddhist monk. On this very day he commenced, or rather continued his meditation practices; for we find him trying with MAitrananda the result of speech as a disturbing factor in Dharana (meditation). The experiment was as follows: P. sat and meditated for five minutes on a white Tau (T) during which Méitran…

We stand where the disciples stood And see the Master float away Into that cloudlet heavenly-hued Receiving him from mortal sight.

…, with Indian ink, and he shall illuminate it according to his fancy and imagination, that shall be informed by beauty. And on the first day of the twelfth week he shall enter the chamber at sunrise, and he shall make his prayer, having first burnt the conjuration that he had made upon the vellum in the fire of the lamp. Then, at his prayer, shall the chamber be filled with a light insufferable for splendour, and a perfume intolerable for sweetness. And his Holy Guardian Angel shall appear unto him, yea, his Holy Guardian Angel shall appear unt…
AMPHORA XIII Sacrament of Penance Y night I waste upon my bed For Her to whom my worship soars ; By day I bow my weary head Within Her melancholy doors. I shall not ever be content With earth and all its tedious pleasure. I look toward the great event, To Mary’s bliss, the starry treasure. I scourge my body till the blood Pours from this heart that hateth light, Mix with its tide Thy crystal flood ! O Mary, cleanse Thine acolyte ! Accept this offering of pain ! Receive Thy neophyte’s devotion, Till to Thy peace he rise again, O star of love on …
…l from its shackles. All seems so good to-night; this simple life, the tent by the sea, the night air, the happy tired feeling after the day’s work, the presence of my two dear ones, and all the dear ones of which I am a part, the presence of Adonai within and without. It is good to have lived for this. (This is dreadful! You must not mistake ‘feeling good’ for a mystic state. O.M.) Aug. 9, 9.59 to 10.26 P.M. During this meditation a certain magical under- standing arose whereby it was easy to interpret any common object into a symbol of the Wo…

…y brutal but absurd ; instead of reverencing it because of its great antiquity , or because of our conservative sympathies with the past days of our fathers . Woman is as clean as man , and a wife married or unmarried as pure as any virgin . Genera tion is no more filthy than alimentation ; both are necessary , both are accompanied by natural appetites ; the one maintains the individual , the other the race ; both may be carried to extremes , both may become lusts .

…, O wind, come forth to me fleet as a fawn. THE WINDS From fourfold quarters, The depth and the height, We come, the bright daughters Of day shed on night; The sun and the waters Have brought us to light ; The sound of him slaughters Our soul in his sight. We hear the loud murmur; we know him; we rest; We breathe in his breast. ORPHEUS By sunlight up-gathered As dust of his cars, By moonlight unfathered, Unmothered of stars, Unpastured, untethered, Unstricken of scars, Come forth! I invoke ye, O clouds! ye veils! ye divine avatars! 39
…ight ! Islam is free to all mankind : You only need to be resigned. The Jew agreed ; he learnt to pray Five several times each mortal day. Instead of Abraham, the Mullah Called him Habib Husain Abdullah. But (what indeed is hardly strange) His views on Art began to change. This reds a shrieking tone, I swear ! O for the black I used to wear !

W. E. HENLEY (AT WOKING) LOISTRAL seclusion of the galleried pines Is mine to-day: these groves are fit for Pan— O rich with Bacchic frenzy and his wine’s Atonement for the infinite woe of man! Is there no God of Vital Art to dwell Serene, enshrined, incensed, adored of us? Were not a cemetery His citadel? His treasure-house some barred sarcophagus? And here his mighty and reverend high-priest Bade me good cheer, an eager acolyte, Poured the high wine, unveiled the mystic feast ;— Swooped the plumed anguish of inveterate night; Devouring tortur…
