More From James Jeans

Each time i had five hours of the poison going into me, i just pictured everything that needed to be burned away. i pictured wars, i pictured the things my father had done to me, i pictured brutality, and when it was over, i am light.
Father War Light
If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

Man doth seek a triple perfection: first a sensual, consisting in those things which very life itself requireth either as necessary supplements, or as beauties and ornaments thereof; then an intellectual, consisting in those things which none underneath man is either capable of or acquainted with; lastly a spiritual and divine, consisting in those things whereunto we tend by supernatural means here, but cannot here attain unto them.
Spiritual Mean Men

The epithet beautiful is used by surgeons to describe operations which their patients describe as ghastly, by physicists to describe methods of measurement which leave sentimentalists cold, by lawyers to describe cases which ruin all the parties to them, and by lovers to describe the objects of their infatuation, however unattractive they may appear to the unaffected spectators.
Beauty Beautiful Party
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. there is nothing more potent than thought. deed follows word and word follows thought. the word is the result of a mighty thought, and where the thought is mighty and pure the result is always mighty and pure.
