…to talk. The little worm which is issuing from her mouth begins: “Tam her mouth, her beautiful mouth, that sweet frail chalice where her soul delighted to dissolve itself and to lie. That mouth of hers, so nervous, so intimately sensible, that it is pleasant to think of it as the fragile rim of the holy and wonderful amphora of her strange exultant being. “TI am—since I was fed on them—all that litany of kisses which passion flung like a storm of wet rose-leaves on to her mouth—am, am I not?—all those dreams and pale blue shim- mering fantasies…

…sio- logical fact of religion in humanity, for in truth religion exists apart from all dogmatic discussion. It is a faculty of the human soul just as much as intelligence and love. While man exists, so will religion. Considered in this light, it is nothing but the need of an infinite idealism, a need which justifies every aspiration for progress, which inspires every devotion, which alone prevents virtue and honour from being mere words, serving to exploit the vanity of the weak and the foolish to the profit of the strong and the clever. It is …

To attain to this freedom is the end of life ; in this respect both yogi and mystic agree , and that every thing which entails the loss of freedom is sin , there fore change is sin and illusion , maya , and our great object is to get beyond this changeable changeability into an unchangeable changelessness . The yogi proposes to himself no less a task than to master the entire universe , and fin…

Eurydice is dead, and the hymns of Orpheus can no longer recall her to life! In our Dogme et rituel de la haute magie, we had the temerity to say that the resurrection of the dead is not an impossible phenomenon even on the physical plane; and in saying that, we have not denied or in any way contradicted the fatal law of death. A death which …

Instead, arose a shining form, sweet as a whisper of soft air kissing the brows of a great storm ; his face with light was molten, musical with waves of his delight moving across : his countenance utterly fair ! then was my philosophic vision shamed : conjecture at a loss ; and my whole mind revolted ; then I blamed the vision as a lie ; yet bid that v…

Amnon lusted after Tamar , he was a mental monster ; Ezekiel devoured dung , he was a spiritual abortion . That a passionate nature is necessarily a lustful one , is often no more the case than that a lustful one need necessarily be passionate ; that lust as well as passion often inhabit the same mind is true enough , and that its forms are monstrous must be apparent to all students of sexual psychology…

Many atime, it seems to me, has my own thus been saved from extinction. When I woke it was morning—actually morning, and not a hasheesh hallucination. The first emotion that I felt upon opening my eyes was happiness to find things again wearing a natural air.

Where is now that spotted soul ? There is but one appalling answer to the question. In the “* place prepared for the devil and his angels ” ; for “ he that believeth not is condemned already”, Not even in that modern evasion, the plea of insanity, can we find any hope. Nothing is clea- rer than that these wretched victims of Satan were in full possession of their faculties to the last moment. Surely the maniacal violence of their unhall- owed lust and hate is no ground for pity but for reprobation. When our blessed Lord was on earth He made no …

… be the recompense and crown of genius. But all spirits do not see with justness, because all hearts do not will with justice. There are souls for whom the true light seems to have no right to be. They content themselves with phosphorescent visions, abortions of light, hallucinations of thought; and, loving these phantoms, fear the day which will put them to flight, because they feel that, the day not being made for their eyes, they would fall back into a deeper darkness. It is thus that fools first fear, then calumniate, insult, pursue and con…
