I am glad enough we went ; but all roads lead to Rome. ALESSANDRO. All yours to sentiment ! Well, here we are at home. And nobody has blabbed the news your fervour feared.

TRAVERSE OF THE AIGUILLES ROUGES 57 (5) It was three o’ the morn and the night was outworn ; We broke fast on Maggi and Cotton, We said Cecil’s jest was a gibe of the best, And of Morris’s yarns—“ that’s a hot ’un.” (6) We spoke of the mountains, the weather, the rope, In a tongue that was doubtfully British ; We summed up in three words Philosophy’s scope ; Of women we said—“ they are skittish.” (7) We gained the low snows, and each rubbed his cold nose As we lunched upon Cotton and Maggi ; We observed, “we are neat from our felts to our feet,…

And this is the mystery that I declare unto thee: that from the Crown itself spring the three great delusions; Aleph is madness, and Beth is falsehood, and Gimel is glamour. And these three be greater than all, for they are beyond the words that I speak unto thee; how much more therefore are they beyond the words that thou transmittest unto men.

… interpretation. THE TAROT AND THE ELEMENTS The Ancients conceived of Fire; Water and Air as pure elements. They were connected with the three qualities of Being, Knowledge and Bliss, previously mentioned. They also cor‐ respond with what the Hindus called the Three Gunas—Sattvas, Rajas and Tamas, which may be translated roughly as “Calm”, “Activity”, and “Slothful Darkness”.
