…rs that proves the capacity of a man. Many a muddler has gone through public life on the shoulders of competent subordinates without too great a loss of reputation. But there is one sterling and indubitable proof of the administrator. If he orders his own house well, it is certain that what reputation he may have made in public affairs is a deserved one. I have never met any man with the sense of order so admirably developed as Mr. Stuart. He can lay his hands on any scrap of paper at a moments notice. Every book in his shelves has its proper …

I detest these near-artists with their poses and their humbug and their swank. I hate shams. I found myself in a state of furious impatience before five minutes had passed. Mrs. Webster and Lou had not arrived.

I propose to demonstrate once for all the truth of the proposition, that the aspect of the heavens at the time of birth is connected with the observed characteristics of the native by collecting a large number of photographs, full face and profile for each subject, and classifying them according to the horoscope.

The great system of the Qabalah is one of emana tion -- a type of spiritual monism , an attempted ex planation of the nature of the Deity , within the limitations of mind . Its correspondence with the Talmud is more of method than material . That it was of slow growth is very certain , that it is a conglomer ated mass of a multitude of efforts is also most sure . The Zohar is its corner - stone , and the date of i…

Grammar, we must never forget, appears in the word Gramarye, beloved of Sir Walter Scott, and grimoire, a black magical ritualthat is to say, any written document. Precious little knowledge filtered through Chris- tianity. It was against the interests of the Church, and in those times it was much easier to suppress people and ideas than it is now, though e…

Thou hast fastened the fangs of Eternity in my soul, and the Poison of the Infinite hath consumed me utterly. 40. I am become like a luscious devil of Italy; a fair strong woman with worn cheeks, eaten out with hunger for kisses.

It is natural that the Great Mother should be attributed to Hé, which is her letter in the Tetragrammaton, while the letter Tzaddi is the natural letter of the Emperor in the original phonetic system, as shown in the words Tsar, Czar, Kaiser, Cæsar, Senior, Seigueur, Señor, Signor, Sir.

The great Command ment is : “ Live in the midst of Vice ; but heed that Vice doth not live in thy midst.” “ God is the Complex and the Protoplast ." And so are we ; entwined within us , as in the poem of Tannhäuser , lie the countless threads of inherited tendencies .
