… my own time and that of my readers by any lengthy discussion of Mr. Herbert Spencer’s ‘‘ Transfigured Realism.” I will not point out in greater detail how he proposes, by a chain of reasoning, to over- throw the conclusions he admits as being those of reason. But his statement that Idealism is but verbally intelligible is for my purpose the most admirable thing he could have said. He is wrong in saying that the idealists are bewildered by their own terminology; the fact is that idealist conclusions Are pre- sented directly to consciousness, wh…

Think not that breaking bone, that rending flesh and muscle, unites thee to thy “Silent Self’ Think not that when the sins of thy gross form are conquered, O Victim of thy Shadows, thy duty is accomplished by nature and by man.

For itis written: “Teach to eschew all causes; the rip- ple of effect, as the great tidal wave, thou shalt let run its course.” This verse apparently contradicts completely the long philippic against inaction, for the Object of those who counsel non-action is to prevent any inward cause arising, so that when the old causes have worked this out there is noth- ing left. But this is quite unphilosophical, for every effect as soon as it occurs becomes a new cause, and it is always equal to …

…g stranger, instead of being attenuated by continual in‐breeding. In certain cases this theory was pushed very far; there was probably a great deal of chicanery about this disguised prince. It may well have been that the king, his father, fur‐ nished him with very secret letters of introduction; in short, that the old political game was old even in those primeval times. The custom is therefore developed into the condition so admirably investigated by Fra‐ zer in the Golden Bough. (This Bough is no doubt a symbol of the King’s Daughter herself).…

We raved in unison to her shrieks, and in one explosive foam of lust, jetted our family fountains at a single mo- ment. Before the woman fainted, the overseer gave the word to stop. She was a young and modest girl, and at his signal, three huge negroes bounded upon her. Heedless of her cries and tears they plunged their reeking arse openers into her dainty

…where torn by thorns the hands drip blood, the feet are cut by sharp, unyielding flints, and Mara wields his strongest arms—there lies a great reward imme- diately beyond. It is not at all clear to what stage of the Path this refers. In verse 91 it appears to refer to the Dhyana Path, but the Dhyana Path has been described in entirely different terms in verses 71 to 73, and it is certainly a quite bad description of the condition of Srotapatti.
