…d what we have understood through deciphering the qabalistic characters, and the allegories of which he makes use in his work: The human soul is material; the divine sevs is offered to it to immortalize it and to make it live spiritually and indi- vidually, but its natural substance is fluidic and collective. There are, then, in man, two lives: the individual or reasonable life, and the common or instinctive life. It is by this latter that one can live in the bodies of others, since the universal soul, of which each nervous organism has a separ…

Each time she changed the soul of the song it seemed as if she was exhausted: as if she was trying to sound a particular phrase, and always fell back baffled at the last moment. Nor did any light infuse her eyes. There was intentness, there was weariness, there was patience, there was alertness. And the room was strangely silent, unsympathetic to her mood. She was the dimmest thing in that gray light. Still she strove. She grew more te…

IX. This was a dream—and how may I attain ? How make myself a worthy acolyte ? How from my body shall my soul take flight, Being constrained in this devouring chain Of selfishness ? How purge the spirit quite Of gross desires That eat into the heart with their corrupting fires ? X.

We do not think any one will accuse us of flat- tery in saying that Lord Alfred Douglas is just such a person, and this is the more striking pheno- menon as it is s…

He describes, like the sleep-wakers of Cahagnet, persons whom he has never seen, and who are recognized by those who evoke them; he will tell you even their names, and will reply, on their behalf, to questions which can be understood only by the soul evoked and yourselves.

This sight hard darkened the landscape for me, and the calm joy, in which my soul danced before it saw these miniatures of men, had vanished utterly.
