…o and Aristotle, who recommend sodomy to youths. I am not so rebellious as to oppose their dictum ; and in truth there seems no bet- ter way to avoid the contamination of woman and the mo- rose pleasures of solitary vice. (Not that women themselves are unclean ; it is the worship of them as ideals that rots the soul). Again we may say that all the great men of antiquity were sodomites : Socrates, Caesar, Alexander, Martial, Catullus, Virgil, Achilles ; Napoleon, Frederick the Great, Goethe, Shakespeare, Bacon, an unbroken line of English monarc…

He had always known this in an intellectual way; now it stabbed him to the heart. Through the rest of the drive he sat silent, and in the bustle of the succeeding days of “Bandobast” for his newly projected walk through China, this awakening stood behind his mind, alert and operative.

It is not the hashish intoxication which was useful to the knavery of the Old Man of the Mountain; it is a dream without sleep, an hallucination without madness, a reasoned and willed vision, a real creation of intelligence and faith. Thence- forward, when he preaches, the Jesuit can say: ‘What we have seen with our eyes, what we have heard with our ears, and what ou…

It was seen that the context did not square in any way with these conceptions, and the missionaries thereupon had the impudence to assume that the Buddhist was being illogical and self- contradictory. It is really necessary to hear Mr. Stuart rather than read him. When he speaks he is transfigured

But it is steep and winds up hill; yea, to its rocky top. Grey Mists will overhang its rough and stony height, and all be dark beyond. As on he goes, the song of hope soundeth more feeble in the pilgrim’s heart. The thrill of doubt is now upon him; his step less steady grows.

The “Secret Way” leads also to Paranirvanic bliss— but at the close of Kalpas without number; Nirvénas gained and lost from boundless pity and compassion for the world of deluded mortals. This is quite contrary to Buddhist teaching. Buddha cer- tainly had ‘Parinirvana,’ if there be such a thing, though, as Nirvana means ‘Annihilation’ and ‘Parinirvana’ ‘complete Annihilation,’ it requires a mind more metaphysical than min…

… his Law shall amend the Game or do it Hurt; and of this the Proof is in Experience, won after the Victory of his Will, when there is no Way of Return; as saith the Poet, Vestigia Nulla Retrorsum. Nor do thou fear to create: for, even as I have written in The Book of Lies (falsely so-called), thou canst create nothing that is not God. But beware of false Creations wrought by Women in whom is no Function thereof; for they are Phantoms, poison- ous Vapours, bred of the Moon in her Witchcraft of Blood. m

…ge. I found myself, from the very beginning of my university career, urged by circumstances of every sort to indulge my passion in every way but the right one. My ill-health had prevented me from taking part in the ordinary amusements of the public school boy. My skill in avoiding corporal punishment and my lack of opportunity for inflicting it had saved me from developing the sadistic or masochistic sides to my character. But at Cambridge I discovered that I was of an intensely passionate nature, physiologically speaking. My poetic instincts, …

…, the ideals of a clique; and nearly {728} as noxious are the arrogant aims and brutal tactics of Catholics and freemasons. In their own way capital and labour are influenced by the same idea, that of imposing a rigid and uniform rule on the entire community regardless of local conditions or any other considerations which might make for diversity. I need hardly point out that this principle is in flat contradiction with the Declaration of Independence in the constitution. I am afraid that the root of the evil lies in the psychological fact that…

…ty"? I imply that the black pig is im the sty. All I have done is to represent the conversion as a change, rather than as merely another way of expressing the same thing. And “change” is really not my meaning either; for change, to our minds, involves the idea of time. But the whole thing is incon- ceivable — to ratiocination, though not to thought. Note well too that ifI say “Absence-of-book is not on the table” I cannot convert it into “All books are on the table” but only to “some books are on the table”. The proposition is an “E” and not an…
