หน้า 176 - So I returned and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter. Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
หน้า 28 - ... more devout, more terrible ? Where, from the depths of an agnosticism, which thousands of years have augmented, can we point to a wider horizon? At the very outset, it surpasses all that has been said, and goes farther than we shall ever dare to go. No spectacle could be more absorbing than this struggle of our forefathers of five to ten thousand years ago with the Unknowable, the unknowable nature of the Causeless Cause of all Causes.
หน้า 5 - He thinks it hardly to be contested that this source is to be found in ancient India. Thence he says, " in all probability the sacred teaching spread into Egypt, found its way to ancient Persia and Chaldea, permeated the Hebrew race, and crept into Greece and the north of Europe, finally reaching China and even America, where the Aztec civilization was merely a more or less distorted reproduction of the Egyptian civilization.

The most notable of them is that pyramid of Cheops which our correspondent speaks of. Maeterlinck has his say about it.

หน้า 130 - ... at once to the original unity which existed before its harmony was broken by the intrusion of evil, and to the ultimate destiny of the soul when purified." M. Maeterlinck, with his customary shrewdness, has at once pierced to the heart of the comparative character of the Bacchic legend. He says, " Dionysus, the child-god, slain by the Titans, whose heart Athene saved by hiding it in a basket, and who was brought to life again by Jupiter, is Osiris, Krishna, Buddha ; he is all the divine incarnations...
หน้า 44 - They passed in succession by way of the plants, the worms, the insects, the serpents, the tortoises, cattle and the wild animals — such is the lower stage,' says Manu again, who adds : ' Creatures acquired the qualities of those that preceded them, so that the farther down its position in the series, the greater its qualities.
หน้า 6 - Hindus came into being. When we become aware of it, we find it already complete in its broad outlines, its main principles.
