CoMPaRABLE to the Alf Laylah was Laylah itself, a very Tower of Babel, partaking alike of truth both gross and subtle inextricably interwoven with the most fantastic fable, is our view of the Herb—Hashish—the Herb Dangerous. Of the investigators who have pierced even for a moment the magic veil of its glamour ecstatic many have been appalled, many disappointed. Few have dared to crush in arms…

…inite pleasure. The toil and the worship and duty Shall turn them to laughter and leisure. Were the world understood Ye would see it was good, A dance to a delicate measure. Ye fools, interweaving in passion The lyrical light of the mind ! Go on, in your drivelling fashion ! Ye shall surely seek long and not find. From without ye may see All the beauty of me, And my lips that their kisses are kind. For Eurydice once I lamented ; For Orpheus I do not lament : Her days were a span, and demented ; His days are for aye, and content. Mere love is as…

We are worth the three together, if you come to talk of odds! For a day we held up London, and the cursed robber crew, Though they were fifteen hundred, and we were only two. All day we fought the cowards, that dared not break the door. They had soldiers and policemen, all the tools of modern war, With their field—gun and their Maxim and the rifle and the shell ; But …

The World’s Tragedy

… Gautier, Zola, Richepin all prosecuted, suppressed ; Verlaine, his life a mere holiday between spells of prison. I cannot quote you the good authors, the popular authors ; neither I nor any one else can remember their names.
