Magnetism is practical cooperation with level-headed
people who are bent on making the best of self and the world
through created opportunity.
For these reasons, you cannot study magnetism too deeply nor
practise it too faithfully. Its legitimate culture will harm none,
will benefit all.
To him who possesses any occult power and uses it nobly, this book
extends congratulations.
How May Contentment Dull My Zeal
If one small fact my mind could know
Of matter or of spirit,--
Within, without, above, below,
And never neighbor near it,--
This tiny thing a Universe would be,
Clear as Arabian caves to Sesame.
Then should I scan the littlest laws
Their mightier kin unfolding,
Detect the essence of all Cause
And see the Cosmos molding;
Then should I run, a new-born god, the race
Begun with thought, complete in planet-space.
How might one stay the perfect quest
In surfeit of succeeding?
This were a weak and venal rest--
Vast yonder-wealth unheeding.
