…make a mortal maid. I, if her rotten corpse were mine, Would take it as my natural food, Denying all but the Divine Alike in evil and in good. Aspasia may skin me close, And Lais load me with disease. Poor pleasures, bitter bargains, those? I still despise Diogenes. Why must the prig be still the judge? The Deadly-Livelies audit life? Ask of the drone about the drudge! Compute the mistress by the wife! Why? Because Jesus helps them to! Converted William snubs the King. No doubt the soapy godly crew Can turn their hands to anything! G

Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

…. I like the rain and wind and trees And birds and flowers and cows and bees , Who work and play and make no lies To prove that they are good and wise . I like the children best of all And watch them playing till nightfall ; And when they ' ve left me , Jimmy dear , I feel so awful lonely here ." Jimmy opened his eyes again : Mary looked so prim and plain , He couldn 't really feel afraid To think she 'd watched them as they played . “ I had a young man once .

She might turn and snap at her best friends without intelli‐ gible excuse. Also, when she misses her bite, she breaks her jaw! In the Yî King, the watery part of Fire is represented by the 17th hexagram, Sui. It indi‐ cates reflection upon impulse, and the consequently even flow of action. There is great capac‐ ity for lucid conception and steady prosecution of work; but this is only at the bidding, and under the gui…

Magick Without Tears

…a miraculous intervention of Providence when even one of even the simplest ideas "gets across." Now then, this being so, it is evidently good sense to construct one's own alphabet , with one's own very precise definitions, in order to handle an abstruse and technical subject like Magick. The "ordinary" words such as God, self, soul, spirit and the rest have been used so many thousand times in so many thousand ways, usually by writers who knew not, or cared not for the necessity of definition that to use them to-day in any scientific essay is al…

…er of this matter.— So also many hâve said truly that since earth is that One, and océan is that One, therefore earth is océan. Unto Him good is illusion, and evil is illusion 5 therefore good is evil. By this fallacy of logic are many men destroyed. Moreover, there are those who take the image for the God; as who should say, my heart is in Tiphereth, an Adeptus is in Tiphereth; I am therefore an adept. And in this practice the worst danger is this, that the love which is its weapon should fail in one of two ways. First, if the love lack any qu…

… And this holy verse triumphantly assures us that there is no need for anxiety. The Saviours will come one after the other, at their own good pleasure, and as they may be needed, and drag their tails, that is to say those who follow out their holy commandment, to the ultimate goal. Again we read: Little Miss Muffett Sat on a tuffet, Eating of curds and whey, Up came a big spider, And sat down beside her, And frightened Miss Muffett away.
