(vim) I swing a censer in a temple of fire; I chant slow mantrams to a holy Name; I fall in swoon unstained by earth’s gray mire, Being wrapped about in a sheet of scarlet …

Fiesh thy red hunger on the bleeding day, O tanreéd night ! till from thy mother maw We wrench the lion child of wonder and awe! — 26 — IX This wine is sovereign against all complaints. This is the wine the great king-angels use To inspire the souls of sinners and of saints Unto the deeds that win the world or lose.

Strange abysses Loom in the vista keen eyes penetrate, Vague forecasts of immeasurable fate. O thou belovd blood, that wells and weeps ! O thou belovd mouth, that beats and bleeds ! O mystic bosom where some serpent sleeps, Sweet mockery of a thousand saintlier creeds ! Even I, that breathe your perfume, taste your br…

Let Orpheus journey forth to see The Disk in peace and victory ! Let him adore the splendid sight, The radiance of the Heaven of Nu ; Soar like a bird, laved by the light, To pierce the far eternal blue !

… if it is possible. Let us set up our camp at the Pole! There the sun strikes the earth obliquely, and the slow alternation of light and night suppresses variety and in- creases monotonythat better half of nothing. There we may take prolonged baths of shadow, while, to amuse us, the Aurora Borealis will send us from time to time its rosy sheaves, like the reflection of the fire-works of Hell.

Often when I would linger all the night To meditate the universal doom , Suddenly , in a fever of delight , I would seem to feel His presence in the gloom .

…untry. In Book IV., Part I., I have described it, with examples, quite fully enough. I need here only say that its constant use, day and night, without a moment's cessation, is probably as useful a method as one could find of preparing the current of thought for the assumption of a rhythmical form, and rhythm is the great cure for irregularity. Once it is established, no interference will prevent it. Its own natural tendency is to slow down, like a pendulum, until time stops, and the sequence of impressions which constitutes our intellectual ap…
