…hai experience as a morbid dream. Reading through the above record at this distance of time, after deliberately avoiding doing so for so long, I feel very uncertain about it; I feel that there was a great deal of genuine communication with the right people and that the Oracle is confused, contradictory and uneven, because of the interference of our personalities. There was the question of our love affair. I was absolutely in love with Rose in the ordinary sense of the term. My love for Fidelis excluded the material almost entirely. I was very p…

…ving in Egypt he remained in that ancient land for some three weeks, somehow feeling that it was here that he should find what he had so long now been seeking for in vain. But realizing the hopelessness of waiting in any definite country or city, without some clue to guide him to his goal, he left Egypt at the beginning of November and continued his journey back to England only to break it again at Paris. In this city he remained until April the following year 173

…n of the charge of doing nothing for posterity, for assuredly nobody who knows India will try to raise false hopes in me that I may live long enough to see it. I would warn scholars that, unless they are in some way definitely mystics and truly acknowl- edged as such, they will do better to hunt for the lost books of Livy than for the Bagh-i- muattar. There is no copy in any public library here or in the East : not surprising, when one hears Platt in 1874 complain that of so famous a classic as the Gulistan there is no genuine Persian MS., but …

…petent judge would with equal certainty declare her sixty. (5) Professor von Buehle, to whom the note-books were sent, addressed to me a long and urgent telegram, begging her release on condition that she would promise not to commit suicide, but go to work with him in Bonn. I have yet to learn, however, that German professors, however eminent, have any voice in the management of a private asylum in England, and I am certain that the Lunacy Commissioners will uphold me in my refusal to consider the question. It will then be clearly understood th…

…g that seems really quite unobtainable - say, a sixty-carat diamond which would look so well on the head-dress-a perfect stranger comes along and makes you a present of one. Or, a long series of quite unreasonable obstacles or silly accidents interfere with your plans: or, the worst difficulty in your way is incomprehensibly removed by some extraordinary "freak of chance." Or . .. In a word, you seem to have strolled into a world where-well, it might be going too far to say that the Law of Cause and Effect is suspended; but at least the Law of …

…or three people go off like that. As my Uncle John used to say, conscience makes cowards of us all. King Lamus was always saying that as long as one has any emotion about any thing, love or fear or any- thing else, one can’t observe things correctly. That’s why a doctor won't attend his own family, and I can see coldly and clearly like a drowning man that when- ever the idea of H. comes into my mind, I begin to think hysterically and come to the most idiotic con- clusions; and heroin has twined itself about my life so closely that everything is…

…me to make sure that we were all right. Dionysus seemed to think it his business to entertain us with an account of the various objects along the road. “ That’s the nice man’s house down there,” he said, “T’ll take you to lunch with him if you promise to behave properly. And that’s where the doat-woman lives,” he went on, apparently assured by our guarantees of proper conduct. The solemnity of the elder boy and the rollicking disposition of the other carried us from spasm to spasm of suppressed laughter. “We seem to have walked straight into a …

…ternal," yet it most assuredly begins and ends. And so on for ever-I fear it would be nugatory, pleonastic (and oh! several other lovely long adjectives!) to try to guard you from these hydra-headed and protean booby-traps; you must tackle them yourself as they arise, and deal with them as best you can; always remembering that often enough you cannot tell which is you and which is the Monkey Puzzle, or who has won. ("Everybody's won; so everybody must have a prize" applies beautifully.) And none of it all matters a row of haricots verts sautes;…

To which that philo sopher replied : “ When you are tired of resting .” Théano , wife of Pythagoras , was also once asked : “ How long does it take for a woman to be purified who has known a man ?” To which she answered : “ If it is with her husband , she is purified by the act , if with another she is for ever defiled ." For it is not marriage which sanctifies love , but love which justifies marriage . - EDOUARD SCHURÉ .

Let us therefore call the world a series of existences and have done with it, for it does not matter a jot what we mean by it so long as we work; very well then; Science is a part of this series, and so is Magic, and so are cows and angels, and so are landscapes, and so are visions ; and the difference between these existences is the difference which lies between a cheesemonger and a poet, between a blind man and one who can see.

…sayings, and Adorations come in. It is not a concentration-practice proper; I haven't a good word for it. "Background-concentration" or "long-distance-concentration" are clumsy , and not too accurate. It is really rather like a public school education. One is not constantly "doing a better thing than one has ever done" ; one is not dropping one's eye-glass every two minutes, or being a little gentleman in the act of brushing one's hair. The point is that one trains oneself to react properly at any moment of surprise. It must become "second natu…
