…illumination, power This and love that, in vain, in vain, until Thy beauty dawned, all beauty to distil Into one drop of utmost dew, one name Choral as floral, one thin, subtle flame Fitted to a shaft of love, to pierce, to endue My trance-rapt spirit with the avenue Of perfect pleasures, radiating far . Up and up yet to where thy sacred star Burned in its brilliance : thence the storm was shed A passion of great calm about this head, This head no more a poet’s ; since the dreara Of beauty gathered close into a stream

…Yet this is an account of the highest trances --- of Shivadarshana itself, as we know from other sources. The "vision" (to use still the name become totally inadequate) appears to have had three main points in its Atmadarshana stage --- 1. The Universal Peacock. {532} 1. Captain Fuller's. 2. The Universe as Ego. "I who am all and made it all, abide its separate lord," i.e. the universe becomes a single and simple being, without quantity, quality or conditions. In this the "I" is immanent, yet the "I" made it, and the "I" is entirely apart from …

… conclusion, nodded to each other and whispered, ‘ Beethoven,’ or ‘ Mendelssohn,’ or ‘ old Sebastian Bach.’ Perhaps the poet who has the name of Swinburne flung at him feels some-thing of this, though Mr Crowley has dedicated his book to that distinguished singer. To our mind, whatever may be said of the earlier effort, ‘ Songs of the Spirit,’ the present book is not distinctly Swinburnian. There is no need to compare the writer with any other, but if we had to elect we should declare for Milton ; that is, Milton plus two centuries. We make no …

… withheld from either party to the discussion; I have in fac diffidently put forward the theory that the Poltergeist, for all its German name, is of an ambiguous nature, like [83] the animals of Australia; and I have ventured to rely upon the analogy between the broomstick employed in this case and the throwing-stick of the aborigines of that continent. However this may be, friend Poltergeist began to rehearse exactly fourteen days after the arrival of the lawyer and his wife, and was so kind as to oblige with a full recital — Scherzo in A flat…

Some old poet, I forget his name, remarked: “Some minds improve by travel, others rather Resemble copper wire or brass, Which gets the narrower by going farther.” The days of the innocent God-help-me tourist seem to be done. The tourist of to-day has been bullied by the Y. M. C. A., in intervals between grafts, into moral responsibility and Christian earnestness, and all that sort of thing.

Her squat stubborn figure was clad in rusty-black clothes, a man's except for the skirt; it was [198] surmounted by a head of unusual size, and still more unusual shape, for the back of the skull was entirely flat, and the left frontal lobe much more developed than the right; one could have thought that it had been deliberately knocked out of shape, since nature, fond, it may be, of freaks, ra…

Having disguised the skin as far as may be, they next disguise the name; some buyer must be made to pay the price of seal coney, and think that he is getting it; so 'cat' becomes `trade seal coney' [245] — and unless one has the whole story there is no possibility of derivation.

Now Iliel was at present a microcosm of the Moon, and her resentments were either changed into enthusiasms by a timely word from Sister Clara or one of the others, or else ignored. The public is a long-suffering dumb beast, an ass crouching beneath heavy burdens, and it needs not only unendurable ill-treatment, but leadership, before it will revolt.
