I started to attempt to awaken the Kundalini—the magical serpent that sleeps at the base of the spine; coiled in three coils and a half around the Sushumna; and instead of pumping the Prana up and down the Sushumna until Siva was united with Sakti in the Sahasrara-Cakkram, I tried—God knows why; I'm stupider than an ass or H . . .

As some schoolboy poet repeatedly wrote, his rimes as poor as Edwin Arnold, his metre as erratic and as good as Francis Thompson, his good sense and frank indecency a match for Browning! “Can’t be helped; must be done— So...” Nay! ’tis a bad, bad rime. And only after the scourge that smites shall come the rod that consoles, if I may borrow a somewhat daring simile fro…

Introduction 5 that first letter of the first ode was Aleph, the second of the second Ba, the third of the third Jim, and so on ! I take great credit to myself for the fact that with only six transpositions my provisional order became that of the poet. THE POEM Abdullah el Haji flourished in circa 1600 A.D., well after the classic era of Persian poetry.

By “desire” in all mystic treatises of any merit is meant tendency. Desire is manifested universally in the law of gravitation, in that of chemical attraction, and so on; in fact, everything that is done is caused by the desire to do it, in this technical sense of the word. The ‘midnight blossom’ implies a certain monastic Renunciation of all desire, which rea…

INTRODUCTION . | SHALL take it to be conceded , at this time of day, 1 not only that good poetry is worth writing , but that our language has a capacity and our nation a rather special aptitude for it : and these admissions — if the reader will be good enough to make them before starting upon the poems here collected —will excuse together the authors, the anthologist, and the contributor of this short ' Introduction .' For if good poetry be worth writing , the attempt to write it must be worth making : nor does it need a Socratic dialogue to pr…

He hurried to his hotel, not without many a suspicious glance over his shoulder, and packed his bag. He had t…
