Read the last verses of the “ Prometheus Unbound ” and “ A Grammarian's Funeral , ” and all will be plain ;' and it is this same ecstasy that burns white in these two superb poems , which flames a bright star of beauty guiding us on our long journey across the hundred thousand leagues of the empire of Crowley's pen .

…e children, and the screams of the women, Eliphas, carried away by the crowd, found himself somehow or other out of the church ; but the last look that he was able to cast upon it was smitten with a terrible and ineffaceable picture! In the midst of a circle made large by the affright of all those who surrounded him, the prelate was standing alone, leaning always on his cross, and held up by the stiffness of his cope, which the grand-vicars had let go, and which accord- ingly hung down to the ground. ‘The head of the Archbishop was a little thr…

…hantasm of its optical value. By the spectroscope, a hint of its composition. By the telescope, and our mathematics, its course. In this last case we may legitimately argue from the known to the unknown: by our measure of the brief visible curve, we can calculate whence it has come and whither it will go. Experience justifies our assumptions. Considerations of this sort are essential to any serious attempt at biography. An infant is not --- as our grandmothers thought --- an arbitrary jest flung into the world by a cynical deity, to be saved or…

In that great cataclysm not only Empires, but civilizations crashed one after another. Three quarters of the Aeon had elapsed before the wine of that vintage was really drinkable. I expect, as I hope, that this time (communication heing universaHy better established, the foundations better laid, and things in general moving quicker) we may be able to enjoy the harv…

…een a philosopher of the widest and deepest learning and penetration, and a recret that he showed no more of it in his poetry. First and last, I stood amazed, stupefied; so stand [I still. Dramatic propriety forbade me seeing him again; he was alone when he started. Let us not too bitterly lament! He would hate him who would ‘‘ upon the rack of this tough world stretch him out longer.” To the best of my poor ability I have executed his wishes, omitting, however, his name and all references sufficiently precise to give pain to any person still l…

It was some perfectly simple straightforward comment on his last book. I began to suspect him of pulling my leg in some supersubtle system invented since my return to Europe. "Are you

At first he could see no possible way to undertake this, owing to, (1) Family Affairs, (2) Office work, (3) Lack of money. He determined however to go ahead in spite of apparent obstacles, and duly made a start at Midnight, August 31. From that time until Sep- tember 18th he was occupied by the Preparatory work, and from Midnight September 18th to Midni…

His tone implied that he had taken charge of us. “No,” I said, “‘ we used up the last grain some time ago.” “IT won’t ask you to remember when,” he replied. “* T know too well how muddled one gets. And besides, when one starts this experiment, the clock doesn’t tell one much, as you know.” My self-respect came back to me with a rush. He insisted on our regarding ourselves as pioneers of science and humanity. We were making an experiment; we were risking life and reason for the sake of mank…

My chance came at last : the tow-wow relaxed its agonizing pres- sure, and in one rush of boiling tapioca pudding I emptied my eighty odd pounds into her cloak- room, drowning three innocent old gentlemen, and the maid who looked after their hats and sticks. It was too much for her capacity : the internal pres- sure of so much liquor neutralized that of her now wearied India-rubber-plant, and I was able at lei- sure to achieve …

… I A O!” Her voice had sunk to a clear murmur. We found ourselves in the street. The chucker-out hailed us a taxi. I stopped her song at last. My mouth was on her mouth. We were driving in the chariot of the Sun through the circus of the Universe. We didn’t know where we were going, and we didn’t care. We had no sense of time at*all. There was a sequence of sensa- tions; but there was no means of regulating them. It was as if one’s mental clock had suddenly gone mad. I have no gauge of time, subjectively speaking, but it must have been a long w…
