THE EQUINOX (1903). In the month of January he met his old College friend H. L. From the very first moment of this meeting H. L. showed considerable perturbation of mind, and on being asked by Frater P. what was exercising him, H. L. replied “Come and free Miss Q. from the wiles of Mrs. M. Being asked who Mrs. M. was, H. L. answered that she was a vampire and a sorceress who was modelling a sphinx with the intention of one day endowing it with life so that it might carry out her evil wishes; and that her victim was Miss Q. P. wishing to ease hi…

…best women are virgins. If only the Archbishop of Canterbury were to go naked in the streets and beg his bread! The new Christ, like the old, is the friend of publicans and sinners; because his nature is ascetic. o if every-man did No Matter What, provided that it is the one thing that he will not and cannot do. That settles it. We do progress; but how? Not by the tinkering of the meliorist; not by the crushing of initiative ; not by laws and regulations which hamstring the racehorse, and handcuff the boxer; but by the innovations of the eccent…

…. Commentary: The word “lust” is not necessarily to be taken in the sense familiar to Puritans. It means robustness, “merri ment” as of old understood: the Germans have retained the proper force of the term in lustig. But even the English retain “lusty.” The Puritan is undoubtedly a marvel. He has even succeeded in attaching a foul connotation to a colourless word like “certain”—“In a section of the city with a certain reputation women of a certain class suffering from certain diseases are charged with performing certain acts” is a common enou…

…aken by bad weather. Scientifically trained minds frequently lose all sense of judgment and logic. There is an account, hardly a century old, of a party of quite distinguished men who ascended Saddleback. They speak of precipitous cliffs and yawning {137} gulfs, though as a matter of fact there is not a rock on the mountain which a child of three years old could call scrambling. They were, in fact on ponies! Shelley's descriptions of Mont Blanc are comically exaggerated; his powers of observation must have been completely in abeyance.

Aha! to turn to my own guts the glutted knife! 0 Satan! stand morose and cold above our bodies swimming thus And plunge thy glory into us, and fan our death with plumes of gold! Write with our blood before thee spilt on catafalque and catacomb The dire monition of our doom, the story of the Mask of Gilt! The paradox is right, by Heaven! exclaimed the big man. That poem is bad enough, but a long explanation—qui rexcuxe .s’accure. Better look for God in the filth itself than in the lam…

Mysticus considers the de finition insufficient unless the “ vividness of each impression " is added to the " number of impressions .

353 Late in 1908 I picked up a book. The title attracted me strongly, The Magician. The author, bless my soul! No other than my old and valued friend. William Somerset Maugham, my nice young doctor whom I remembered so well from the dear old days of the Chat Blanc. So he had really written a book --- who would have believed it! I carried it off to Scott's. In my excitement, I actually paid for it. I think I ate two dozen oysters and a pheasant, and drank a bottle of No. III, one of the happiest champagnes in the famous --- can you say "caterer'…

He has got a target pistol, a very old one with long, thin bullets, and carries it about all the time. He never mentions the Germans now. He talks about a gang of hypnotists that have got hold of him, and put evil thoughts in his mind. He says that if he could shoot one of them it would break the spell. He tells me not to look at him as I do; but I have to be on the watch lest he should attack me. Then he mixes up my hypnotic gaze with ideas of…

…ongruous name "Au Pere Tranquille." Akbar mounted the stairs. It was too early for revellers; even the musicians had not arrived; but an old man sat in one corner of the room, sipping a concoction of gin, whisky and rum which goes in certain circles by the name of a Nantucket Cocktail. This individual was of some sixty years of age; his hair and beard were white; his dress was that of a professional man, and he endeavoured to give dignity to his appearance by the assumption of a certain paternal or even patriarchal manner. But his eye was pale …

Chapter II a Verse 70 139 Now when Brillat-Savarin1 (was it not?) served to the King’s table a pair of old kid gloves, and pleased the princely palate, he certainly proved himself a Master-Cook. The feat is not one to be repeated constantly, but one should achieve it at least once—that it may bear witness to oneself that the skill is there. One might even find it advisable to practice it occasionally, to retain one’s confidence that one’s “right hand hath not lost its cunning.”1 2 On this point hear furthermore our Holy Books: 1 [Anthelme Brill…
