…lonies. Strand : i.e., the foreign strand. Cf. Heber (not the Kenite) Indias coral strand . The phrase denotes homesickness. But the whole stanza is certainly obscure.
…t path by the most universal of all symbols—the woe of the world, the sorrow of mankind. Like the Vedantist, he saw that the crux of the whole trouble was Ignorance (Avijja). Dispel this ignorance, and illumination would take its place, that insight into the real nature of things, which, little by little, leads the Aspirant out of the world of birth and death, the world of Samsara, into that inscrutable Nibbana where things in themselves cease to exist and with them the thoughts which go to build them up. Ignorance is the greatest of all Fetter…

…refore, the best key to the higher planes. It seems unnecessary to add anything to these few remarks. This is the only difficulty in the whole book, though in one or two passages Levi’s extraordinarily keen sense of humour leads him to indulge in a little harmless bombast. We may instance his remarks on the Grimoire of Honorius. We have said that this is the masterpiece of Levi. He reaches an exaltation of both thought and language which is equal to that of any other writer known to us. Once it is understood that it is purely a thesis for the G…

…d this one friend are arrayed Russia, France, England, Servia, Montene- gro, and Japan; and every one of these nations is throw- ing its whole diplomatic weight into the task of getting Roumania, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Holland, Denmark, and the United States of America to join in. We are only about 6 to 1 at present, and feel insecure. My own view is simpler. We have waited for a long while to smash Germany and steal her goods. We have taken a first-class opportunity, and we shall never regret it. We thank God that we are not as other men. Th…
…ork in life—has lived in vain. This verse repeats this lesson yet once more. It is another way of saying: Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. 51. Follow the wheel of life; follow the wheel of duty to race and kin, to friend and foe, and close thy mind to pleas- ures as to pain. Exhaust the law of Karmic retribution. Gain Siddhis for thy future birth. This again states the same thing, urges the aspirant to live his life fully on every plane, preserving, it is true, an in- difference to all that he does, but only the inner indifferen…

On the whole, we cannot help regretting that such splendid powers of imagination and expression are flung away in such literary rioting.” —Light. «Sometimes of much beauty of rhythm and phrase. . . .”—Times. “Poets who have any originality deserve to be judged by their own standard. . . .

… nature thus? As man contains Cells, nerves, grey matter in his brains, Each cell a life, self-centred, free Yet self-subordinate to the whole For its own sake—expand !—so we Molecules of a central soul, Time’s sons, judged by Eternity. Nature is gone—our joys, our pains, Our little lives—and God remains. Were this the truth—why ! worship then Were not so imbecile for men! But that’s no Christian faith ! For where Enters the dogma of despair ? Despite his logic’s silver flow I must count Caird62 a mystic ! No ! You Christians shall not mask me …
… scarce a protest. We are to be taxed beyond endurance, our defences neglected, our edu- cation left to sink or swim as it may, that our whole state may be clogged with its own excrement ! It is no idle boast of the vermin socialists that their system is Christianity, and no other is genuine. And look at them ! to a man —
…e, rather small, very pretty; the nose very slightly less than straight, well-proportioned, rather large nostrils. Full of vitality, the whole thing. Not very tall, rather slim and graceful; a good dancer. There is another girl behind her, with sparkling eyes, mis- chievous, a smile showing beautiful white teeth; an ideal Spanish girl, but fair. Very vivacious. Only her head is visible, and now it is veiled by a black sun, casting forth dull rays of black and gold. Then the disk of the sun is a pair of balances, held steady; and twined about th…
…d , if not actually tyrannised over , by the lyrical . Indeed a young poet gravely informed me , the other day , that the lyric held the whole future of poesy — every other form being dead ; nor was he abashed on being reminded of the Scottish farmer 's prayer — " O Lord , take everything from everybody else , and give it ALL to me !” I note further that as a part of this tendency ( or, at all events , concurrently ) the Lyric goes on to remove itself more and more from the music of its origin , to ignore the accompaniment of song and instrumen…
…er any meaning for us. A man has rediscovered their key ; he has opened the cemeteries of ancient science, and he gives to his century a whole world of forgotten theorems, of syntheses as simple and sublime as nature, radiating always from unity, and multiplying themselves like numbers with proportions so exact, that the known demonstrates and reveals the unknown. To under- stand this science, is to see God. The author of this book, as he finishes his work, will think that he has demonstrated it. Then, when you have seen God, the hierophant wil…
THE EQUINOX become a father in order that he may have more children to devour. To conquer love is to triumph over the whole of Nature. To submit it to justice is to rehabilitate life by devoting it to immortality; thus the greatest works of the Christian revelation are the creation of voluntary virginity and the sanctification of marriage. While love is nothing but a desire and an enjoyment, it is mortal. In order to make itself eternal it must become a sacrifice, for then it becomes a power and a virtue. It is the struggle of Eros and Anteros …

… pittance, and I had never before known what love could mean. What I may call the honeymoon part of the honey- moon seemed to occupy the whole of our waking hours. It left us no time to haunt Montmartre. We hardly troubled to eat, we hardly knew we were eating. We didn’t seem to need sleep. We never got tired. The first hint of fatigue sent one’s hand to one’s 46
…r. Montague Summers friend, the Devil. What she actually did to merit this favour is to me rather obscure, because I have forgotten the whole beastly thing. But I do remem- ber two lines, because I am in the same line of business myself. I have candles made of infants fat, I have feasted on rifled graves. Southey was an ambitious man. He was not content with the brilliant success of this masterpeice of the poetic art. He immediately sat down and wrote another alleged poem all about infants fat and rifled graves and the Devil coming for the v…
… the Voice, the attainment of the grade of Master of the Temple was symbolized by the adept pouring every drop of his blood, that is his whole individual life, into the Cup of the Scarlet Woman, who represents Universal Impersonal Life. There remains therefore (to pursue the imagery) of the adept "nothing but a little pile of dust". In a subsequent vision the Grade of Magus is foreshadowed; and the figure is that this dust is burnt into "a white ash", which ash is preserved in an Urn. It is difficult to convey the appropriateness of this symbol…
