…ch and let in the forlorn hope of the Children of the Curse to storm the heights of heaven. One single trained observer with five years’ work, less money than would build a bakehouse, and no more help than his dozen of volunteer students could give him, would earn himself a fame loftier than the stars, and set mankind on the royal road to the solution of the One great problem. Scientific Illuminism would have deserved its name, or mysticism would have received a blow which would save another young fool like myself from wasting his whole life on…

His own work, bar “Man and Overman” (why the hybrid Super- man?), is aglib sham. If it proves anything, it proves nothing. But are we to writhe in the ecstasies of Pyrrhonism? For this prophet claims to be Zoroaster. Can we be sure even of that? He has educated the British goat to caper to his discordant Pan-pipe, so that without the nuisance of crucifixion he may scourge the money-changers from the temple. Yet is thi…

FOREWORD x sympathetic to his work, agree that in this respect he has often failed. So much for the diagnosis-now for the remedy! One genius, inspired of the Gods, suggested recently that the riddle might be solved somewhat on the old and well-tried lines of "Dr. Brewer's Guide to Science," i.e., by having aspirants write to the Master asking questions, the kind of problem that naturally comes into the mind of any sensible enquirer, and getting his answer in the form of a letter. "What is it?" "Why should I bother my head about it?" "What are i…

Personally, I have found chess solitaire and triple-dummy bridge or skat as good as anything. Eckenstein was a recognized authority on what is known as Kirkwood's schoolgirl problem, but we used to work all sorts of things, from problems connected with Mersenne's numbers and Fermat's binary theorem to the purely frivolous attempt to repr…

…s on it. I surrendered at discretion, re-obligated myself and in September 1909 wrote my greatest magical poem "Aha!" in which the Cairo working is restored to its proper place in my life. I have made many insurrections since then; but they have always been quelled in very short order and punished as they deserved. This lengthy preamble will enable the reader to fit into their proper places the ostensibly incoherent events of 1907 and 1908. My own continuous illness, the birth of Lola Zaza and the tragedy of Rose had combined to complicate my o…

Sometimes there is a stoppage ; too much filth has accumu- lated, and it refuses all conventional methods of being removed. Then comes a flood—a revolution—for a time there is a nasty mes…

THE EQUINOX is the adherent. The lover giveth his life unto the work among men. The hermit goeth solitary, and giveth only of his light unto men. And I ask him: Why does he tell me that? And he says: I tell thee not. Thou tellest thyself, for thou hast pondered thereupon for many days, and hast not found light. And now that thou art called NEMO, the answer to every riddle that thou hast not found shall spring up in thy mind, unsought. Who can tell upon what day a flower shall bloom? And thou shalt give thy wisdom unto the world, and that shall …
