"If I see anyone that seems likely to amuse me, I try and amuse him—or her,” she laughed. “ Is not that the Golden Rule?" “Well," said…

Who is he?” “We do not know his name, monsieur,” said Frédéric softly, a little awed; “ but I think he was a duke, a prince—I cannot say what. He is more than that—he is unique, He is—le Revenant de la Rue des Quatre Vents!” “The Ghost of the Street of the Four Winds?” Roderic was immensely taken by the title ; a thousand fantastic bases …

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES The fatal ascendant of one person on another is the true wand of Circe. One knows that almost all human physiognomies bear a resemblance to one animal or another, that is to say, the signature of a specialized instinct. Now, instincts are balanced by contrary instincts, and dominated by instincts stronger than those. In order to dominate sheep, the dog plays upon their fear of wolves. If you are a dog, and you want a pretty little cat to love you, you have only one means to take: to metamorphose yourself into a cat. But…

…dless light; a static, no longer a dynamic conception. One has somehow got behind the veil of the universe. Here live the mystic and the true artist.
