I adore the insuperable might : I bow before the unspoken Name . For I am Yesterday , and I To-day, and I to -morrow , born Now and again , on high , on high Travelling on Dian's naked horn !

…I asked. “« Alas! I have no God,’ he answered. Thereupon I allowed Jokam to seize him, and re-entering the cave they sank, uttering most heart-rending yells of agony. “As I once again approached the lake, a great albatross rose from the water, and as she did so, the star fell away from me, and a multitude of birds surrounded me and took me back to the garret which I first visited. “For this I was very grateful, and on seeing that I had returned, the Adept came forward and took my hand, saying: ‘Go on,’ at which words I felt that a great strengt…

…action, deliverance of mind from thral- dom by the cessation of sin and faults, are not for “Deva Egos.” Thus saith the “Doctrine of the Heart.” This Doctrine is further developed. The term “Deva Egos” is again obscure. The verse teaches that one should not be afraid to act. Action must be fought by reaction, and tyranny will never be overthrown by slavish submission to it. Cowardice is conquered by a course of exposing oneself unnecessarily to danger. The desire of the flesh has ever grown stronger for ascetics, as they endeavoured to combat i…

In order to keep this paper within limits, I may premise that the preparation and properties of Cannabis indica can be studied in the proper pharmaceutical treatises, though, as this drug is more potent psychologically than physically, all strictly medical accounts of it, so far as I am aware, have been hitherto both meagre and misleading.

With a heart of furious fancies, Whereof I am Commander, With a burning spear And a horse of Air To the wilderness I wander. (The idea was to keep the Scribe busy writing, so as to spring upon him. For, while the Scribe talked, Choronzon had thrown sand into the circle, and filled it up. But Choronzon could not think fast and continuously, and so resorted to the device of quotation. The Scribe had written two or thre…

Lo! all the whirring shafts of Light, a web Wherein the Tides of Being flow and ebb, One heart-beat, pulsing the Eternal stress, Extremes that cancel out in Nothingness. Light thrills through Light, the spindle of desire, Cross upon Cross of elemental Fire; Life circles Life, the Rose all flowers above, And in their intermarriage they are Love.

If I persist, seeing that my little gift of language must be mine for some purpose, and therefore for this purpose, since no other purpose can there be, let my rationalist friends excuse me, as the agony of my impotence most terribly avenges them.

If, as I do not doubt to be the case, you turn to the profit of charity all the restless activities with which the passions of your heart furnish you, you must often be blessed for your good works.” The Abbé once more smiled that dubious and fatal smile which gave so singular an expression to his pallid counte- nance. He rose and took his leave without having given his name, and without any one having thought to ask him for it.
