perstition, and acknowledged to me that he had never had fear as to his own power but once; and that was one day when he had heard a preacher, more subtle than his col- leagues, bawl from the pulpit, “Dearly beloved brethren let us never forget when we hear boasts of progress and light that the cleverest stratagem of the devil is to persuade us that he does not exist.” His recollection of this famous orator natu- rally led us to the subject of Universities, and my strange companion assured me that he did not consider it beneath him in many case…

It was no wonder when the second day Showed me a city on the desert way, Whose brazen gates.were open, where within _ I saw a statue for a sign of sin, And saw the people come to it and pray, Before its mouth set open for a gin. And seeing me, a clamour rose among — Their dwarfish crowds, whose barbarous harsh tongue Grated, a hateful sound ; they plucked me down, And mocked me through the highways of the town, And brought me where they sang …

Oracles

88 VENUS Buried my heart in thy sorrow, cast down my soul at thy knees. Thou, thou hast left me no morrow. Days and desires, what are these ? Nay, I have torn from my breast passion and love and despair : Sought in thy palaces rest, sleep that awaited me there ; Sleep that awaits me in vain : I have done with the hope of things ; Passion and pleasure and pain have stung me, and lost their stings. Only abides there a hollow, void as the heart of the earth. Echo may find it and follow, dead from the day of her birth. Life, of itself not insatiate…

Eight Lectures on Yoga

…ifficulties in practice is that it takes a great deal of skill and experience to become really alert to what is happening. You can go on day-dreaming for quite long periods before realising that your thoughts have wandered at all. This is why I insist so strongly on the practices described above as producing alertness and watchfulness, and you will obviously realise that it is quite evident that one has to be in the pink of condition and in the most favourable mental state in order to make any headway at all. But when you have had a little prac…

…. Every idea has been attacked by thinkers, and none has withstood attack. Hence civilization crumbles. No settled principles remain. To-day all constructive statesmanship is empiricism or opportunism. It has been doubted whether there is any real relation between Mother and Child, any real distinction between Male and Female. The human mind, in despair, seeing insanity imminent in the breaking ' It should be noted that this ambiguity in the word "destruction" has been the cause of much misunderstanding.

Harold Monro . Of full strong blood in subtlety and strife , Hate the stark , plain , and unadventurous day ; But in mysterious darkness there is life . Look deep into my eyes , and thou shalt see Not theory , creed or law , but self-belief ; Not God or Jesus , but Reality ; Not poverty or riches , but - a thief. Aye, do not start ! Not one among you all Has my heroic courage ; for although You have the instincts of the criminal , You lack the resolution to be so.

Little Poems in Prose

…there in his soul a more or less well defined intention of clemency? That is a point which has never been cleared up. At last, the great day being arrived, this lit- tle court displayed all its pomp, and it would be difficult to imagine, unless one had seen it, all that the privileged class of a small State with limited resources can exhibit in the way of splendour on an occasion of royal solemnity. This was doubly true, first of all by the magic of the luxury displayed, and secondly by the mysterious moral interest which was attached to it.
