…As the sad voice drew nigh ; the hero shrank Like one in awe ; the flame shot up and sank From the crimson-vestured altar; then the song Found in the wavering breeze from over sea a tongue. Here, on the crimson strand of blood-red waters, We, Cypris, not thy daughters, Clad in bright flame, filled with unholy wine, O Cypris, none of thine !-— Here, kissing in the dim red dusk, we linger, Striking with amorous finger Our lyres, whose fierce delights are all divine— O Cypris, none of thine! Quenchless, insatiable, the unholy fire Floods our red l…

…osed my eyes for a few moments (concentrating), I thought I would try and think backwards over the last few things I had been doing, but found, try as I would, I could not think of things done even a moment before. All was the “present peculiar ex- perience,” and there was no getting away from it. The concentration acted just like a magnet, and became automatic. Again, on trying to look back over this retirement, it appears as a “Single state of consciousness,” not as a number of events. I should really have to read my diary if I wanted to know…

… ceremony of the Salutation. An hour later, as supper ended, the sound of the bell rang through the House. The visitor was Simon Iff. He found Cyril dressed in every-day clothes, no more in his green robe. The boy was smoking a cigar upon the Terrace where he had read his poem on the day after Walpurgis Night. He did not rise to greet his master. "Tell the Praetor that you have seen Caius Marius a fugitive seated upon the ruins of Carthage!" he exclaimed. "Don't take it so hardly, boy!" cried the old mystic. "The man who makes no mistakes makes…

But I am myself…

…plain. TANNHAUSER riding towards a great mountain. TANNHAUSER. S1x days. Creation took no longer! Yet I wander eastward, and no light is found. The stars their motion shirk, or else forget. The sun—the moon? Imprisoned under- ground Where gnomes disport, and devils do abound, Six days. I journey to the black unknown, Always in hope the Infinite may rise Some unexpected instant, as ’twere grown A magic palace to enchanted eyes ; A wizard guerdon for a minstrel wise. Perhaps I am a fool to think that here, Merely by rending Nature’s h~"low veil, …

C. and G. D. orders, to cover types of emancipation and illumination not contemplated by the original (or main) system. All such orders must, however, be constituted in harmony with the A A as regards the essential principles.

… Who wields the wrath of heaven, and is dumb ; Hell starts up Is overcome. and before his hand LG. C. Jones, then of Basingstoke, a pro- found mystic. I heard these voices, and beheld afar These dread works wrought at his behest : And on his forehead, lo! a star, And on his breast. And on his feet I knew the sandals were More beautiful than flame, and white, And on the glory of his hair The crown of night. And I beheld his robe, and on its hem Were writ unlawful words to say, Broidered like lilies, with a gem More clear than day. And round him …

For the best foundation to build upon is always to be found upon that which a man doves dest. It is no good asking a glutton who does not care a row of brass pins for music, to turn music into a magical formula, neither is it of the slightest use to impress upon a clean-minded individual the necessity of living a chaste life.

…there is in him no place of death." She became perfectly calm; for a little while her thoughts occupied her. Suddenly they fled, and she found herself (so to speak) in a small open boat, without provisions, in the midst of a limitless ocean of unutterable boredom. She had a period of fidgets; that over, she became listless, and merely prayed for sleep. Then she noticed that a square pencil of light had entered from the apex of the chapel, and was casting glory upon the top of the altar. She rose instantly — and gasped in amazement, for figures …

…my thoughts Past her pale beauty through some glowing skies * The justification of this play, both in subject and construction, is to be found in the Introduction to the ‘‘Ilon” of Euripides. [Verrall, Camb. Univ. Press, 1890.] The chief of its many morals is that sin must reap its harvest in spite of repentance, prayer, and the other dodges by which men seek to elude Fate. 154

When they returned to the studio, they found that the simple preparations for the seance had been completed. The medium was already seated at the table, with the two men one on either side of her.

…ains is twenty-four carat gold. I now proceed to bestow it. 5. It is said that Yoga has eight limbs. Why limbs I do not know. But I have found it convenient to accept this classification, and we can cover the ground very satisfactorily by classing our remarks under these eight headings. 6. These headings are: 1. Yama. 2. Niyama. 3. Asana. 4. Pranayama. 5. Pratyahara. 6. Dharana. 7. Dhyana. 8. Samadhi. Any attempt to translate these words will mire us in a hopeless quag of misunderstanding.

…mating their marriage !* This arrangement does not seem to have been greatly appreciated by the wife ; at least one fine morning she was found to be enceinte. The foolish father never thought of the hypothesis which commends itself most readily to a man of the world, not to say a man of science, and adopted that of a second Messiah ! He took the utmost pains to con- ceal the birth of the child, treated everybody who came to the house as an emissary of Herod, and finally made up his mind to flee into Egypt ! Like most religious maniacs, he never…

…gnant and hideous, this phantasmagoria of damnation. She wrenched herself away; for a moment she lost consciousness completely; then she found herself in her bed at the Villa. With feverish energy she sprang from the couch, and ran to the wardrobe to put on her travelling dress. It would be easy to drop from the wall of the terrace into the lane; in an hour she would be safe in Naples. And then she discovered that the dress would have to be altered before she could wear it. With vehemence she set instantly to work — and just as she was finishin…

… platitude was like a wife after a few years; she has lost none of her charms, and yet one prefers some perfectly worthless woman. I now found myself able to retrace the paths of thought which ultimately come together in a platitude. I would start with some few simple ideas and develop them. Each stage in the process was like the joy of a young eagle soaring from height to height in ever-increasing sunlight as dawn breaks, foaming, over the purple hem of the garment of ocean, and, when the many-coloured rays of rose and gold and green gathered …
