…therhood. Is it not enough to make us throw away our atheism and exclaim, ‘“‘O God be merciful to me a sinner, and keep me in the way of Truth!” Nay, for those of us who know what triple silver cord of moonlight binds the red blood of our heart to the Ineffable Crown of Brilliance, who have seen what Angel stands in the moon-ray, who have known the perfume and the vision, seen the drops of dew supernal stand on the silver lamen of the forehead—for us is neither fear nor pride, but silence in the one thought of the One beyond all thought.

…, saying, ‘ Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit |” It is by charity that twelve Galilean artisans conquered the world; they loved truth more than life, and they went without followers to speak it to peoples and to kings; tested by tor- 1 Sublime humour of sophistry! Levi asserts, “Any lie will serve, provided every one acquiesces in it,” and reprehends Christianity for disturbing the peace of Paganism. Or, indicates that Christianity is but syncretic-eclectic Paganism, and defends it on this ground.—O. M. 8

…tue is the devil’s name for vice, And all your righteousness is filthy rags Wherein ye strut, and hide the one base thought. To mask the truth, to worship, to forget ; These three are one. AGAVE. What art thou then? a man?

… THE STAR IN THE WEST Nevertheless , though at heart one , many extraneous differences do exist , and it behoves any true searcher after Truth to discover for himself the straightest road towards his ultimate home which he long ago first left ; to ask help of none , to live alone , as he will have to die alone , to heed no man , to work out his own salvation , to see that his staff is stout , and that his lamp burns brightly , lest he fall into that great slough of rational dung -wallowing which besets his path .

…among the humblest of thy servants” ? We will not speak of the criticism of Voltaire. That great mind was dominated by an ardent love of truth and justice, but he lacked that rectitude of heart which the intelligence ot faith gives. Voltaire could not admit faith, because he did not know how to love. The spirit of charity did not reveal itself to that soul which had no tenderness, and he bitterly criticized the hearth of which he did not feel the warmth, and the lamp of which he did not see the light. If religion were such as he saw it, he woul…

…to me my Light and lead me in the way of liberty. The secret of my strength was the, that love would always stand a shining symbol of my truth, that I loved spiritually the soul of mankind. Therefore each woman, be she chaste or wanton, faithful or false, inspiring me to scale the summits of song or whispering me to wallow in the swamps of sin, would be to me no more than a symbol in whose particular virtue my love could fins the bread and wine of its universal eucharist. Time has confirmed this claim: I have loved many women and been loved. Bu…

…he sight and thought of my personal mission, I was not a little perplexed at the duality it presented at first. But I soon found out the truth. Cut in the most precious wood of the island, a cover was made of my shape, and prepared to take my place every time my various duties should call me away. Acting upon the advice of my wives, I had the coffin hidden from sight; and only once a month, when the moon breaks up with her thinnest crescent, are the natives admitted to the contemplation of its contents. Before I take again to the main road of m…

Need I remind you how urgent the wish to escape will assuredly become, how fantastic are the mind's devices and excuses, amounting often to deliberate revolt? In Kandy I broke away in a fury, and dashed down to Colombo with the intention of painting the very air as red as the betel-spittle on the pavements! But after three days of futile search for satisfying debauchery I came back to my horses, and, s…

…ey of the whole matter. Here Nature herself be your preacher: for in every phe- nomenon of force and motion doth she proclaim aloud this truth. Even in so small a matter as driving a nail into a plank, hear this same sermon. Your nail must be hard, smooth, fine-pointed, or it will not move swiftly in the direc- tion willed. Imagine then a nail of tinder-wood with twenty points—it is verily no longer a nail. Yet nigh all mankind are like unto this. They wish a dozen different careers; and 104

…n them, because of the induction (as it were) of their souls. And your understanding will depend upon your ripeness for perception of my Truth. Moreover, if so be that Light in you be ready to break forth, then Light will interpret to you these dark words in the language of Light, even as a string inanimate, duly adjusted, will vibrate to its peculiar tone, struck on another cord. Read, therefore, not only with the eye and brain, but with the rhythm of that Life which you have attained by your Will to Love quickened to dancing measure by these …

…the wood which wearieth the axeman is the safety of him that ventur- eth himself upon the sea ina ship built of that wood. And this is a truth easy to apprehend, being superficial, and intelligible to the common mind. All evil is thus relative, or apparent, or illusory: but, returning to philosophy, I will repeat that its root is always in duality. Therefore the escape from this apparent evil is to seek the Unity, which you shall do as I have already shewn you. But I will now make mention of that which is written concerning this in the Book of …

182 ORPHEUS Of lies—yet, sing it to sufficient Art, The lie abolishes itself—the tune Redeems the darkness—the keen flashes start Of truth availing though the midnight moon Darken, the stars be quenched in utter cloud, And the high sun eclipsed at very noon. So flash I back the glory calm and proud Irradiating the Three. So shall my lyre Sweep the vast courts with acclamation loud Of splashing music, of exulting fire That revels in its penetrating cover Of azure life that smites its flickering spire Of sworded splendour inwards, to discover Not…
