So the sound-world, filled of the fire of all things, Rolls majestic torrents of mighty music Through the stars where dwell the avenging spirits Bound in the whirlwind . . . So the cliffs their Song . . . For the mist re- gathers, Girds them bride-like, fit for the sun to kiss them ; Darkness falls like dewfall about the hillsides ; Night is upon me.

Or be our lonely haunt the sand Of the Sahara : let us go Where some oasis, subtly planned For love, invites the afterglow! There let us liv…

Thus do I wish you and myself the three great boons Sila, Samadhi, and Salam.

288 The Diary of a Drug Fiend I couldn’t see the joke, but it was the biggest joke in the world. “It’s really awfully kind of you, my dear Mr. Platt,” I said with unction, feeling that I was cast for the star part in some stupendous comedy. “The obligation is entirely on my side,” returned my guest. ‘‘ You have no idea how your kind approval has set my mind at ease.” I took another sniff. I was fainting away into an inexpressible ecstasy. I re-corked the bottle and put it in my pocket, thanking Platt profusely. “ T can’t imagine your mind being…

I am all but in tears to think of my beloved sister tortured by so foul a denizen of the Abyss. Cannot you see in this the root of all your toadstool spawn of miseries, of doubts, of fears, of indecisions? As an Artist you are a consecrated Virgin Priestess, the Oracle of the Most High. None has the right to approach you save with the most blessed awe, with arms …
