... Mesopotamian plain is that its soils are made of very tiny alluvial silts which tend to hold its water. Water is cohesive in that it tends to hold together and forms drops on surfaces. It is also adhesive in that it tends to adhere to materials with which it comes into contact. This can be seen at the edge of a glass partly filled with water. Around the edge where the water meets the glass, it rises slightly. Therefore, in a plain made up of tiny alluvial particles, adding water by irrigation will raise the water table fairly rapidly since the soil will tend to retain its water. Soil made up of large particles with large spaces between them ...
172. Night of the Gods: The Axis and the Universe-Tree [Books]
... the Basil is revered and kept in the house-windows for luck, which reminds one of the local story of " Isabella and the pot of Basil," a fine picture of Mr. Holman Hunt's. In early Christian symbolism, the "lily," as experts call it, is "not always very accurately defined:" On painted glass it sometimes appears as "a little, tree or bush, without blossoms."155 This must I think be viewed as a parallel to the tulasi shrub of the Hindus. [We shall return to this under " Circular Worship " in Vol. II.] An acacia was the principal object of worship with the Khoreish tribe ...
173. Part IV: Conclusions [Ragnarok] [Books]
... at the end of the island, where the ridge is united to it, they did what England will probably do at the end of the Dover tunnel: they erected fortifications and built a castle, and in it they put a ruler, possibly a sub-king, Heimdal, who constantly, from a high lookout, possibly with a field glass, watches the coming of the turbulent Goths, or Gauls, or Gael, from afar off. Doubtless the white-headed and red headed, hungry, reckless savages had the same propensity to invade the civilized, wealthy land, that their posterity had to descend on degenerate Rome. The word Asas is not, as some have supposed, ...
174. Cosmic Heretics [Journals] [Aeon]
... then through the first heavy door into a tiny hall, then another heavy door, then an anteroom with a mail-cluttered table and clothes-closet, and finally into the front room. Elisheva, like her husband, had a strong character and great energy. She had large hands and a solid body, maintained a direct and friendly stare through thick glasses, and was perhaps of his age. She had mastered the arts of music and sculpture. Perhaps all the laborious functionalism of its occupants gave the rooms a lack-luster belying the considerable value of their contents. Poor cooks have dazzling automated kitchens; disemployed people have smart interiors. Much later on, when he finally released his books to ...
... observed in any other part of this country, except the Isle of Wight, the traces of a fresh water formation in the London basin cannot perhaps be referred to this. 5. Sand without Shells. In the Isle of Wight this sand is extremely pure ; it is dug at Alum Bay, and is used for making the best glass. The Bagshot Sand, perhaps, belongs to this ; and possibly the Grayweathers ; but the position of these has not yet been accurately determined. 6. London Clay. This is the blue clay of London, Highgate, Sheppey, Portsmouth, Stubbington, Hordwell, Southend, Harwich, &c . It is distinguished by its ...

... days when the rise of the river is much more rapid, and then the quantity of mud. that is suspended in the water exceeds, in Upper Egypt, that which I have seen. in. any other river. On more than. one occasion I could perceive that it visibly interfered with the flow of the stream. A glassful of it in this state was allowed, to remain still for a short time. The upper portion of it was perfectly opaque and the colour of blood. .A sediment of black mud. occupied, about one-quarter of the glass. A considerable portion of this is deposited before the river reaches Middle and lower Egypt. I never ...

... constantly for its faults. And provided it does not demoralize others, I do not mind. I have from my first meeting with him concluded that I should do what I thought he basically would want and weather as best as possible the glooms, the negativism, the wounded shouts, the suspicions, and the ingratitude. We drank a glass of dry white wine (the Israeli wines are becoming excellent), and he showed me a few late letters, as he usually does. With some emotion he declared that, for all I have done for him he was going to give me sooner or later the whole history of the case- the reception of his ideas by ...

... ry3-S. . 1 Moor's XindfJ Pantheon, plate 90. 3 Preller's Gr. Myth., i, 148; ii, 497. Sphere.) The Maya-BTycl-God 745 squats not in a circle but in a .sort of scroll or banderolle. It is almost absurdly odd to find the two Eyes of the Egyptians also paralleled by two glass eyes fixed to two wooden struts in front of the wings. The identity with the conception of the Assyrian, Persian, and Egyptian symbols, is astonishing and undeniable. The Eyes on the coffin of King Antef (t lth dynasty) in the Louvre' are encrusted in enamel. A statue of the 5th or 6th dynasty shows ...
