A. E. : Pen name of George William Russell (1867-1935), poet & mystic; a leading figure in the Irish nationalist movement & the renascence of Irish literature & culture.
... 1934 Yeats and A. E. I do not think I have been unduly enthusiastic over Yeats, but one must recognise his great artistry in language and verse in which he is far superior to A. E.—just as A. E. as a man and a seer was far superior to Yeats. Yeats never got beyond a beautiful mid-world of the vital antarikṣa , he has not penetrated beyond to spiritual-mental heights as A. E. did. But all the... respective achievements. The depths of A. E. are greater than those of Yeats, assuredly. His suggestiveness must therefore be profounder. In this poem [ Sibyl ] which you have translated very beautifully, his power of expression, always penetrating, simple and direct, is at its best and his best can be miraculously perfect. A. E. The substance of A. E.'s poetry is always very good—he is one... importance. What Yeats expressed, he expressed with great poetical beauty, perfection and power and he has, besides, a creative imagination. A. E. had an unequalled profundity of Page 416 vision and power and range in the spiritual and psychic field. A. E.'s thought and way of seeing and saying things is much more sympathetic to me than Yeats' who only touches a brilliant floating skirt-edge ...
... little exercise in a field foreign to me; but I am not sure this is not how some critics will grumble and groan under this particular hammer of heaven. 12 November 1948 A. E. on Amal Kiran - Sri Aurobindo on A. E. A. E. has made some interesting remarks about some of my poems—remarks curious in some places, while finely critical in others. He is puzzled by an unrhythmical line—due really to... beyond the earth-limits to the beyond—as such it is striking and legitimate. But it has to be taken as a God constructed out of universal appearances by the lover's mood—it is evidently not A. E.'s Divinity, so A. E. need not have been in pain for him—and as such any objections (I don't know precisely what they may be) are out of court. I should like to read Forgiveness again before I pronounce as between... letter suggested a more critical attitude on A. E.'s part than his actual appreciation warrants. His appreciation is, on the contrary, sufficiently warm; "a genuine poetic quality" and "many fine lines"—he could not be expected to say more. The two quotations he makes 11 certainly deserve the praise he gives them, and they are moreover of the kind A. E. and Yeats also, I think, would naturally like ...

For the vowel... nearer together and stretch the mouth comers towards the ears, so —A, E, I. Ah, Eh, EEE. MR JOURDAIN. A, E, I. Ah, Eh, EEE — It's quite right.

... In addition to the work of innovator of the new world here is an example from A. E. the Irish poet, inheritor of the old Irish culture: "Dusk wraps the village in its dim caress; Each chimney's vapour, like a thin grey rod, Mounting aloft through miles of quietness, Pillars the skies of God". — A. E. George Russel. This strain is present in more or less degree in all the writers... modem poetry is concerned the new age is not yet. It is with Sāvitrī that the new age may be said to have arrived. Among the precursors of this new age may be counted Whitman, Carpenter, Yeats, A. E. Meredith, Stephen Phillips, Tagore in whose works one can see clear indications of the new spirit and experiments with many forms of poetic expression. The nature of this change may be said to consist... sensations of life, while any emotional or ideal element in poetry is considered as a deadly sin. But beautiful poetry remains beautiful even if it is not in the current style. And, after all, Yeats and A. E. are still there in spite of this new fashion of the last one or two decades". Under the stress of modem psychological conditions brought about especially by the two world wars and the upsetting ...

E.'s poetry... writer comes in and evokes the personal response of the reader and so prevents detachment? As they stand, there would be the same objection to the publication of my letters on A. E.'s criticism as to sending them to A. E. But I have cut out or modified the too personal passages and like that they can go. I have also made some verbal alterations; writing hurriedly, as I have always to do now, there ...
... stored up in the brain-cells. The vibration is- stayed or fixed there. " A. E. argues against this explanation and says, " This effect must remain unaffected in the brain because one can after years summon it again and find the image clear as at first. " Thus the explanations of memory and of imagination both break down. A. E. says perhaps it is "the perception of the images already existing". He continues... as the result of brain discharge of the nerves, but it is still a standing question in modern psychology whether thought is a finer and subtler state of Matter or of Life or of Mind. George Russel (A. E.) in his book " The Candle of Vision " reports certain dream experiences of his own and asks the question about the process of their preservation in memory. There seem to be insuperable difficulties... Some of the explanations of visions and dreams given by modern psychology sound quite untenable. It is more likely that visions and dreams have an independent existence of their own on subtle planes. A. E., the Irish mystic poet, after describing a vision in which he saw everything illumined says: "people pass them (visions) by too easily saying, ' it is imagination,' as if imagination were easily explained ...

This is now more or less accepted by all scholars, but there is no explanation to show how a, e, o become a in ...
... to our ears with some flourish of the trumpets of renown, Thompson, Masefield, Hardy, do not occur at all or only in a passing allusion. But still the book deals among contemporary poets with Tagore, A. E. and Yeats, among recent poets with Stephen Phillips, Meredith, Carpenter, great names all of them, not to speak of lesser writers. This little book with its 135 short pages is almost too small a pedestal... latter an unforgettable date. I had long heard, standing aloof in giant ignorance, the great name of Yeats, but with no more than a fragmentary and mostly indirect acquaintance with some of his work; A. E. only lives for me in Mr. Cousins' pages; other poets of the day are still represented in my mind by scattered citations. In the things of culture such a state of ignorance is certainly an unholy state ...

I may take for my purpose four of them whose names stand behind or are still with us and their station already among those whose work endures, Meredith and Phillips among recent English poets, A.

A.

... that are pictured; its vision is from within, composed of its own substance and lit up with its own vast vitality. As a result, the pictures are at once extra-immediate and extra-remote: they make, as A. E. Housman would have said, an impact upon our solar plexus as no mental reflection of mystical realities can, but while convincing us of their living concreteness they dodge our mental apprehension by ...
... Whence then hath this man all these things? "And they were offended in him____" 5 The natural comment on these verses is surely along the lines of D. E. Nineham's quotation from A. E. J.

What he has seen there, he is able to clothe ...

A first opening out to this new way of seeing is the sense of the work of Whitman and Carpenter and some of the recent French poets, of Tagore and Yeats and A.

... contingent existence to a necessary Being. Saint Anselm (1033-1109 C. E.) formulated the Ontological Argument for the existence of God. This argument was further refined by Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274 C. E.), and it was reformulated by Descartes (1596-1650 C. E.), Spinoza (1632-77 C. E.) and Leibniz (1646-1716 C.

However, Kant's criticism of the Ontological Argument came to be reformulated in a new way by Bertrand Russell in the context of his theory of descriptions. Most of the contemporary philosophers have come to think that the ontological argument is not successful, although thinkers like Norman Malcolm (1911-1990 C. E.) and... and Charles Hartshorne (1897-2000 C. E.) have tried to resurrect the ontological argument. John Hick (1904-1989 C.

Despite the fact that the ontological argument does not seem to have satisfied contemporary philosophers I feel that there is something valuable ...

Quaid-e-Azam accepted it and the word 'Pakistan' became synonymous with the Lahore Resolution.

On Mar. 23, 1940, Muslim League held its Annual session at Lahore under the Presidentship of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

For centuries, it had been divided between Muslim India and Hindu India and so would... not be protected under a parliamentary form of government. The Lahore session of the Muslim League was convened when the memory of the Khaksar tragedy in the Punjab was still fresh. The Quaid-e-Azam cancelled all the programmes of public pomp and show.

Instead of rejecting everything to soar to celestial... Mother's words: "It is a movement greater than the force or power holding the cells in an individual form.")
