…d an angry sunset in the Tropics upon the sea, will recognize how incom- parable a description of that sunset is given in that wonderful last line.

Obviously it does not refer to the great choice referred to in Fragment II, verse 88. One is inclined further to suspect that Madame Blavatsky sup- poses Mahayana and Hinayana to refer in some way or other to the two Paths previously discussed. They do not.
