Further, I have another automatic recorder which maps out distanc…

… one who possesses these things can call for anything he likes in payment for them, and be sure of getting it. But the financiers of the day avoid all consideration of the enormous calamity threatened by the present situation. They are only excited by perfectly trivial and temporary events, such as small movements in the value of stocks. It never occurs to them that the most trifling shifts in the real economic situation may reduce the value of stocks to nothing a tall. The history of finance has always been the history of more or less desperat…

For at that time, it will be remembered, hospitals were not as flourishing as they are to-day, and it was very difficult to find living people whom you could cut up to see what came of it. The surgeon was, in fact, not understood at all, except in the one way which such people were capable of understanding ; i.e., as the body-snatcher. The rest of his proceedings were perfectly mysterious to them. You notice that even Charles Dickenswho may yet go down to history for having wished to prosecute Hol…

…in's bust of Henley describes the man and the interview rather than the sculpture. Cloistered seclusion of the galleried pines Is mine today; these groves are fit for Pan --- O rich with Bacchus frenzy and his wine's Atonement for the infinite woes of man! And here his mighty and reverend high priest Bade me good cheer, an eager acolyte, Poured the high wine, unveiled the mystic feast ... Roast lamb and an excellent Chablis which had been sent to him by Lord Northcliffe --- thus does the poet transfigure conceptions apparently commonplace. I wa…

Slowly , and solely through temptation can man be purified . Burns, who was possessed with the happiest knack of striking the nail full on the head , driving it home at one blow , describes this well in his “ Address to the Unco Gude " : What's done we partly may compute But kenna what's resisted . It is this resistance alone which sanctifies man , body and soul …

17 The Hindu method is really mystical in the truest sense; for, as I have shown, the Atman is not infinite and eternal: one day it must sink down with the other forces. But by creating in thought an infinite Impersonal Personality, by defining it as such, all religions except the Buddhist, and as I believe, the Qabalistic, have sought to annihilate their own personality. The Buddhist aims directly at extinction; the Hindu denies and abolishes his own finity by the creation of an absolute, As this cannot be done in reality, the process is illus…
