The sleeping life is like the idle word, and it is of that that men will have to give an account in the Day of Judgment. Intelligence speaks, and matter stirs. It will not rest until it has taken the form given to it by the word. Behold the Christian word, how for these nineteen centuries it has p…

…EA. The woman raves. MEDEA. Such victory as this Outsails all shame. Before the dawn was up I bound such talismans about his breast That fire and steel grow dew and flowery wreaths For all their power to hurt him. Presently I made a posset, drugged with somnolence, Sleepy with poppy and white hellebore, Fit for the dragon. This was my design. CHORUS. Beware thy father’s anger when he finds His plans thus baffled ! He will murder us. MEDEA. Heroes indeed ye are, and lion hearts. CHORUS. No woman need school me in bravery. MEDEA. Rather a hare. C…

Let all the gods and the archangels and the angels and the spirits that are on the earth, and above the earth, and below the earth, that are in all the heavens and in all the hells, let them be as motes dancing in the beam of mine eye!

…It is the story of the Wounded Seal. There was once an islander who made his living by the killing of seals. One night, as he sat by the fire, resting after his day's work, he heard a knocking at the door, and, on opening it, found a man on horseback. The stranger ex- plained that he had come on behalf of one who wished to buy a large number of skins, and then told him to mount up behind. Hoping to effect a good sale, the seal-hunter obeyed, and was carried away at a wild gallop, which ended on the brink of a precipice. There his strange compan…

With these consid- erations, and a full understanding of the mysteries of the Numbers 666 and 418, you will be armed mightily in this Way of far flight. But you should also consider all numbers in their scales. For there is no means of resolution better than this of pure mathematics, since already therein are gross ideas made fine, and all is orde…

…nyone who has not totally and for ever destroyed in himself every vestige of this instinct , extirpating every root and charring it with Fire , cannot take the first step on the Path of the Wise. How nobly opposite is the Man-Formula! Its freight the wealth of the whole Universe, that splendid Argosy leaps free upon the glittering Ocean, to cast the very Soul of Life upon uncharted and enchanted isles! It is not to these few but well-chosen words that I propose to look to enhance my popularity in the Women's Clubs of the United States. Love is …

… joy we had of each other under those blue-grey hills ! Do you remember the day of the storm, when we huddled under the rocks, and lit a fire of bracken and pine twigs ? How you stripped me by force — for I was afraid, and jealous, and coquettish—and took your pleasure of me, thrice in the one delirious hour ? By the memory of that cave, I conjure you, be first to meet me in the Ely- sian fields !

His finger leaves a trail of fire of every colour, so that the whole Aire is become like a web of mingled lights. But through it all drops dew. (I can’t describe these things at all. Dew doesn’t represent what I mean in the least. For instance, these drops of dew are enormous globes, shining like the full moon, only perfectly transparent, as well as perfectly luminous.) And now he shows the tablet again, and he says: As there are 49 lette…

The stars of heaven are caught in the ashes of the flame. And they are all dark. That which was a blazing sun is like a speck of ash. And in the midst the Arrow burns! I see that the crown of the Arrow is the Father of all Light, and the shaft of the Arrow is the Father of all Life, and the barb of the Arrow is the Father of all Love. For that silver wedge is like a lotus flower, and the Eye within the A…
