  1. “Hoor hath a secret fourfold name: it is Do What Thou Wilt.”
  2. “Wherever there is a want, the supply will not fail to come, for there is no vacuum in nature.”
  3. “That poem of Browning owes much of its haunting charm to this very circumstance, that the reader is never told who Childe Roland is, or why he wants to get to the Dark Tower, or what he expects to find when he does get there. There is a skillfully constructed atmosphere of Giants, and Ogres, and Hunchbacks, and the rest of the apparatus of fairy-tales; but there is no trace of the influence of Bædeker in the style. Now this is really very irritating to anybody who happens to be seriously concerned to get to that tower. I remember, as a boy, what misery I suffered over this poem. Had Browning been alive, I think I would have sought him out, so seriously did I take the Quest.”
  4. “My voice–ah! flashes out the word of flame: ‘Eternal Beauty, One and absolute!'”
