The Equinox (Volume I, Number X)

…bride is eleven. 17. Hear me, ye people of sighing! The sorrows of pain and regret Are left to the dead and the dying, The folk that not know me as yet. 18. These are dead, these fellows; they feel not. Weare not for the poor and sad: the lords of the earth are our kinsfolk. 19. Is a God to live in a dog? No! but the highest are of us. They shall rejoice, our chosen: who sorroweth is not of us. 20. Beauty and strength, leaping laughter and delicious languor, force and fire, are of us. 21. We have nothing with the outcast and the unfit: let them…

…gh, and never stir a step from your own ground. You have (for the first time in English) got French slang correct; but you clearly don’t know India, and some terrible old bore has planted the worst and feeblest form THE EQUINOX of a very stale cobra story on your innocence. There are several mistakes in these few pages—climate and natural history in particular. Figure to yourself that this bit of the book reads to me almost as Trléy reads to you !— THE YELLOW Wuat-Ho. A subterfuge in fugues. The Blue Grotto. No publisher. No price. No anything.…

…l numbers, and the foundation of all buildings; thou art one, and in the secret of thy unity the most wise of men are lost, because they know it not. Thou art one, and thy unity neither wanes nor waxes, neither suffers any change. Thou art one, and yet not the one of the mathematician, for thy unity admits neither multipli- cation, nor change, nor form. Thou art one, and not one of mine imaginations can fix a limit for thee, or give a definition of thee; therefore will I take heed to my ways, lest I offend with my tongue. Thou art one indeed, w…

Diary of a Drug Fiend

…nutes—twenty—I fell into a blind rage, drank heavily of the vile liquor with which the place was stinking, and flung myself with I don’t know what woman into the dance. A shrill-voiced Danish siren, the proprietress, was screaming abuse at one of her professional entertainers —some long, sordid, silly story of sexual jealousy, I suppose. The band was deafening. The fine edge of my sense was dulled. It was in a sort of hot nightmare that I saw, through the smoke and the stink of the club, the evil smile of Mrs. Webster. Small as the woman was, s…
