…held their burden, the eyes looked ahead—yet the symptoms of fatigue were apparent to a connoisseur of pigeons. AndIam that. Once upon a time I was the happy proprietor of hundreds of carrier-pigeons. Misfortune and a short acquaintance with some faddists caused me to drown my ennui. I drank most of my pigeons—dozens at the time—or rather their equivalent in temperance drinks, I ruined my health. An illness followed, long and painful ; the doctor’s bill took the rest... . . But let us forget ! Now the pigeon came through my window, stood on the…

…e bill, and went off to get it. ‘“* Let me drive you and Sir Peter back to your hotel,” said our host to Lou. “You've had a rather rough time. I prescribe a good night’s rest. You'll find a dose of H. a very useful pick-me-up in the morning, but, for Heaven’s sake, don’t flog a willing horse. Just the minutest sniff, and then coke up gradually when you begin to feel like getting up. By lunch time you'll be feeling like a couple of two-year-olds.” He paid the bill, and we went out. As luck would have it, a taxi had just discharged a party at the…

…nd all the threads of sorrow are unspun. So He who ordered this shall still work thus, And ere life’s lamp shall flicker into death, And Time lose all his empire over us, A gleam of Hope, of Knowledge, shall arise, A star to silver o’er Death’s glooming skies, And gladden the last labouring torch of breath.

Let all the ripples of our song Exulting evermore converge In one the virgin wave and strong, Combine their chorus loud and long Re-quicken and up-surge ! Hail to the Virgin ! Hail ! we cry. Hail, Mary ! Hail ! All hail ! All hail ! The utmost caverns of the sky, The abysses of eternity, Repeat the hail ! All hail ! S 43

…t one! For THERE is no ‘ wherefore,’ no ‘ because.’ The name of THAT is not known; the Pro- noun interprets, that is, misinterprets, It. Time and Space are Adverbs. Duality begat the Conjunction. The Conditioned is Father of the Preposition. The Article also marketh Division; but the Interjection is the sound that endeth in the Silence. Destroy therefore the Eight Parts of Speech; the Ninth is nigh unto Truth. This also must be destroyed before thou enterest into The Silence. Aum.

300 THE STAR IN THE WEST In a note to “ Time , ” Dr. Maudsley explains the state of ecstasy or Samâdhi as follows : The “ ecstasy , ” if attained , signifies such a “ standing out , ” Ek-otaois , quasi -spasmodic , of a special tract of the brain as , if persisted in , involves the risk of a permanent loss of power , almost in the end a paralysis of the other tracts . Like other bad habits it grows by what it feeds on , and may put the fine and complex co-ordinated ma chinery quite out of gear . The ecstatic attains an illumi nation ( so-called…

…ostituted in the brothel of life. In Riders to the Sea, Synge says merely, “A man was drowned.” His genius sweeps away the cobwebs which time spins over the door of the cavern of our imagination. We realize the meaning of those words, “A man was drowned.” This power to make us feel is the divine thing in art. It is the creative force which answers “Yea” to the prophet’s cynical, “Lord, shall these dead bones live?” Now this is exactly what Yvette Guilbert has done for song. She has not done it for one century only. She has made all time speak, …

…mense distance from reality. A concealed chain of interpretation linked the truth with the obvious commonplace fact that this was a good time to go across to Montmartre and make a night of it. We dressed to go out with, I imagine, the very sort of feeling as a newly made bishop would have the first time he puts on his vestments. But none of this would have been intelligible to, or suspected by, anybody who had seen us. We laughed and sang and interchanged gay nothings while we dressed. When we went downstairs, we felt like gods descending upon …

It was easy to see that he was pleased at the result so far obtained. Lala was not with him. Instead, he had brought Maisie Jacobs. I found myself wondering acutely whether there was any serious reason for the change. I had got to the state where I suspected the man’s slightest action of having some occult significance, especially as he gave no explanation. Decidedly his manners were…

168 MYSTERIES: SONNET. A DREAM OOL winds are blowing on the heathery brae. It is the time of night—the world is wrought For starry contemplation—gusts of thought Surge in the vast. Before my vision lay New oceans gemmed about with sun-bright isles, Peopled with creatures girded up with gold, Women men’s love made glorious to behold, Men clad with sunshine of fair women’s smiles, Fountains of purity and fadeless youth. With a glad heart I turned my steps to seek Their starry groves and streams. A scroll unfurled A cloud from heaven : “ This peop…

KE®@AAH M THE HIMOG" A red rose absorbs all colours but red; red is therefore the one colour that it is not. This Law, Reason, Time, Space, all Limita- tion blinds us to Truth. AJl that we know of Man, Nature, God, is just that which they are not; it is that which they throw off as repugnant. The HIMOG is only visible insofar as He is imperfect. Then are they all glorious who seem not to be glorious, as the HIMOG is All-glorious Within? It may be so. How then distinguish the inglorious and per- fect HIMOG from the inglorious man of earth?

…er, came from the knowledge that we were infinitely superior to anything we might happen to meet. The mere fact that we had so much more time to think than other people assured us of this. We were like a leash of greyhounds, and the rest of the world so many hares, but the disproportion of speed was immensely increased. It was the airman against the wagoner. We went to bed early that night. We had already got a little tired of Paris. The pace was too slow for us. It was rather like sitting at a Wagner opera. There were some thrilling moments, o…
