…, for want of a better word. We didn’t need to explain ourselves to each other. Our minds worked together like those of two first- class three-quarters who are accustomed to play together. Part of the enjoyment, moreover, came from the knowledge that we were infinitely superior to anything we might happen to meet. The mere fact that we had so much more time to think than other people assured us of this. We were like a leash of greyhounds, and the rest of the world so many hares, but the disproportion of speed was immensely increased. It was the…

Armed men sprang to life, and killed each other." [298] "But I don't see any armed men." "You will. Haven't you seen the papers?" "I never see papers. I'm a poet, and I like my lies the way mother …

… who has realised the fact that depends from that understanding, namely that all the constituents of bein are by nature endowed with the Three Character-istics of Sorrow, Transitoriness, and Absence of any immortal principle or Atma—such a one is said to be Sam maditthi, to hold right views, and the term has com e to m ean one of the Buddhist Faith. We may not have taken the other and higher steps on the Noble Eightfold Path; but must have rea- lised those Four Truths and their sequential three Characteristics. He who has attained Sammaditthi h…

…ayed beyond the contemplation of her own talents and amusements — carried her off to Paris. She needed her, anyhow, to play hostess. But three days after their arrival Lisa received a postcard. It bore nothing but an address and a question-mark. No signature; she had never seen the handwriting; but she knew. She snatched up her hat, and her furs, and ran downstairs. Her car was at the door; in ten minutes she was knocking at the door of Cyril's studio. He opened. His arms were ready to receive her; but she was on the floor, kissing his feet. "M…

…. I cannot even say that I crossed the Abyss deliberately. I was hurled into it by the momentum of the forces which I had called up. For three years, save for spasmodic and half-hearted incidents, and the great moment in Cairo which took place in direct opposition to the united efforts of my scepticism, my cynicism, my disgust with everything, my idleness and my prejudices, I had been fighting against my destiny. I had been building up a great dam. My occasional return to Magick had been more in the nature of occasional sprees than anything els…

…e wrote the Nameless Novel. All this time of his marriage, about two years, he had been also performing miracles of pi- ety. Ordained three years before, he rapidly gained the favour of his superiors by his modesty and elo- quence. He obtained a valuable private chaplaincy in Paris, a most suitable post, allowing him plenty of leisure for other work. During this period a deli- cious volume of hymns came from his pen, and his self-sacrificing ministrations to the poor were the wonder of the French capital. His evenings were spent in that witt…

And I thought I didn’t like it! It’s the finest stuff there is. A sniff to the right and a sniff to the left and a big heap right on my tongue; and that wasn't all. “I tell you what’s been wrong,” he said in the morning. ‘‘ Who the hell could expect to be right in a place like this?

[132] It was early in the morning when they landed; at three o'clock they had visited such local deities as commanded their more urgent piety; the Museum, Vergil's Tomb, also Michaelsen the bookseller and vendor of images of the Ineffable. At four they started, hand in hand, along the shore, towards their new home. An hour's walk brought them to the foot of a long stairway, damp stonework, narrow, between high walls, that led vertical and steep to the very crest o…

…t just won't do, because that Stele never had a name! You lie! I shouted, as the full light broke through the mists of my mind; in these three thousand years it has once, if only once, had a name by invoking which you could bring it up before you; its name is "Stele 666" in the Catalogue of the Museum at Boulak! A single simple hammerstroke, and the nail is driven home to the head! Compare this with the chaotic devices of the "bilateral-cipher" maniacs, by the application of which it is easy to prove that Bernard Shaw wrote Rudyard Kipling. Or …

I had got everything into such a forward state of preparation that we were able to start of August 8th. There was nothing to be done but to pack the baggage which the doctor seemed to have brought out, in the units which I had got ready for him.

Lamus had taken three matches to light his pipe and it kept on going out between almost every puff. By- and-by he threw it angrily on the carpet and lighted a cigar. There was a club fender round the grate. Maisie was sitting on it swinging her legs impatiently. We all seemed to be waiting for something to happen and it was as if nobody knew where to begin. “ Tell him, Lou,” said Lamus suddenly. She started as if he had struc…

You wonder that I write with such serious atti- tude of mind.
