THE MAN-COVER And the man-who-lost-his-cover came into the room again. “Well,” said he, “I thought that by now you would have found your way to submit to necessity and reintegrate your real personality. What did you see in my box?” I told him, and instantly he grew pale and staggered. But after a moment he looked furiously at me, and resumed his former manner. “ By God !” he said, “I cannot believe you. How you have found out my secret and learned by heart the things which one ought to see in my box, but which one does not, I ignore. But you ca…

…e but the symptom of slavery. There were slaves in Rome, of course, even under the republic. But it was only through Paul that the slime found tongue, and uttered its agony and blasphemy. Now, through the steady growth of alt- ruism pari-passu with the Gospel that advocates it, the world is come to such a pass that the canaille is throned. The Old Age Pensions folly, which is simply the offi- cial seal upon the survival of the unfittest, a check to ho- nest ambition, a playing into the hands of the unskilful and the vicious, all of those (in sh…

…egan with romantic sadness, changing to demoniac glee. | “She was incarnate love In the hours when I first awoke her. Little by little I found The truth of her, stripped of clothing, Bitter beyond all bound, Leprous beyond all loathing.” We shouted with delight, and fell into a fit of hysterical laughter. We came out of it completely exhausted. I must have slept for a while. | When I woke he was sitting at the table under the yellow gas jet, reading the books he had bought.

… it a programme of disarmament. When people scrap battleships in the name of peace on earth and goodwill to men, it means that they have found battleships useless and too expensive, and that they have found something cheaper and more deadly. So the Curia kept a weapon in reserve, in order to be sure of having a nice jolly pogrom whenever they gave the word. And what was the word to be ? Nice quiet peasant folk, or genial hard-working hunters and fighters, are not easy to arouse to indis- criminate slaughter without reason. In order to get them …

…s, of which the result was that Eliphas went out to see the Viscount home. While they were in the street, the rain stopped, the Viscount found a carriage, and Eliphas, instead of returning to his house, mechanically crossed the Luxembourg, went out by the gate which opens on the Rue d’Enfer, and found himself opposite the Panthéon. A double row of booths, improvised for the Festival of St. Genevieve, indicated to pilgrims the road to St. Etienne- du-Mont. Eliphas, whose heart was sad, and consequently disposed to prayer, followed that way and e…

…f Lamed and of Mem, of Justice and the Hanged Man, and I fell into both the pitfalls thereof. Instead of the Great Balance firmly held, I found only Libra, the house of Venus and of the exaltation of Saturn ; and these evil planets, smiling and frowning, overcame me. And so for the sublime Path of Mem ; instead of that symbol of the Adept, his foot set firmly upon heaven, his whole figure showing forth the Reconciler with the Invisible, I found but the stagnant and bitter water of selfishness, the Dead Sea of the Soul. For all is Illusion. Who sait…

…oincidence. There was, of course, no way by which he could warn me of his visit. One morning there came to me a quite irrational wish. I found myself thinking, "How I wish I had prawns for lunch!" The thought recurred despite indignant attempts to banish it. An hour or so later, I heard my name shouted. I jumped up and found no trace of the shouter. I knew the voice must come from a boat, and ran up and down the island furiously. Still nothing in sight. It must have been half an hour before we found each other, though looking everywhere, and th…

…ite hot branding iron of Lamus’s Will. I reached out my hands for this diary.. It has relieved me to write it down in all this detail. I found myself on fire with passionate determination to fight H. and C. to a finish ; and my hands were tied behind my back, my feet were fettered by a chain and ball. I wouldn’t be made to stop by that beast. We'd get it despite him. We wouldn't be treated like children ; we'd get as much as we wanted and we'd take it all the time, if it killed us. The conflict in myself raged all the afternoon. Cockie had gone…

…egitimate literary device. When in Holland in '97, I had written a Christmas hymn in which the Nativity was treated realistically. I now found that Christian piety had taken away the entire poetic beauty of Bethlehem by declaring that the Virgin suffered no pain. (It is really astonishing how these idiots managed to remove any touch of sublimity from this stupid story!) I therefore had to change "her bitter anguish hath sufficed" into "her joyful ardour hath sufficed", and otherwise degrade my poem to a blasphemous imbecility, in order to compl…

XXXI. Master ! I think that I have found thee now : Deceive me not, I trust thee, I am sure Thy love will stand while ocean winds endure, Our quest shall be our quest till either brow Radiate light, till death himself allure Our love to him When life’s desires are filled beyond the silver brim. XXXII. Here I abandon all myself to thee, Slip into thy caresses as of right, Live in thy kisses as in living light, Clothing in thy love, enthronéd lazily In thine embrace, as naked as the night, As love and lover More pure, more keen, more strong than …

H . L. HUBBARD . * QUUM ESSEM INFANS, UT INFANS LOQUEBAR . FOUND a childish letter in a drawer, Laid up with care, and fading now with age . I drew it out and read it through with awe, That unformed scribble on a yellow page . It seemed so quaint to keep this letter there , Amongst those others in that treasure chest; On childish sentences such tender care To lavish and bestow — it seemed a jest. At length I turned the page, and then I saw The reason why 'twas kept till sad old age , What made it seem a sacrament ,- nay more , - A row of crosse…

We found ourselves in taxis, which for some in- scrutable reason are still allowed to ply practically unchecked in the streets of London. While eating and breathing and going about are permitted, we shall never be a really righteous race!

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 be thy garden. And concerning time and death, thou hast naught to do with these things. For though a precious stone be hidden in the sand of the desert, it shall n…
