Here is an amber house Far nightin- Moving, flying, exulting, on we go, Borne on blue clouds of glory. On the river, Over the mountains of the night, above The stars of the night, above the floral glow Of the sun dawning now for us for ever Who rest content in the abode of love! Lie still, O love, and let the fragrant sleep Perfume our eyelids with dew-dropping death, And silence be the witness of the will. Fall, fall, fall back in …

…e found to verify them in every particular—that whatever arguments are brought forward destructive of the reality of Dhy ana, apply with far more force to the norm al state, and it is evident that to deny the latter seriously is ipso facto to become unserious. Whether the normal testimony may be attacked from above, by insisting on the superior reality of Dhy ana—and à fortiori of Samadhi, which I have not experienced, and conse- quently do not treat of, being content to accept the highly probably s tatements of those who profess to know, and w…

Surely, O people, and men of Israel, The prophecy is happy to the end. For see yon moon that creeps inviolate Against the corner of the mountains so, Slowly and gracefully to lighten us. So, ere th…

Olya! the golden bait Barbed with infinite pain, Fatal, fanatical mate O…

Out of chaos rises order On her wide unwearying wing, But the desolate marauder Never over us shall swing Such a sceptre as should bring Sorrow to one home of ours.

Enough of this! Insistent Fates Bid me return to rhyming 8s. I say what I have seen ill done In honest clean-l…

Far flings out the spur to the sunset ; Its help to the hope of the sun That all be unfolded if one set, That none be apart from the One ; And the sweep of the wings of the weather, Marked bright with the silvery ghylls For flickering feather, brings all things together To nest in the hills. Like a great bird poised in the æther, The mountain keeps watch over earth, On the child that lies sleeping beneath her …

XI. LUST This Trump was formerly called Strength. But it implies far more than strength in the ordinary sense of the word.

For this reason it has been thought better to change the traditional title. Lust implies not only strength, but the joy of strength exercised. It is vigour, and the rapture of vigour. “Come forth, o…
