Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Masque of the Elements IN this Threnody and Birth-song of the Elements, written in California some five years ago, I have striven to capture and present some of the chief factors and phases Of the eternal drama Of Life and Death in the Universe. These powers, elements and agents I have endowed with human attributes and human emotions as though it were Man himself who uttered himself through them. The actors in this cosmic masque or pageant of the planets are the Sun, the Moon and the Earth with her four Elements; for stage there is the limitless background of Time and Space, and the audience may be conceived as being represented by Immanent Nature. Creation and Dissolution are her ministers, twin forces Of that divine everlasting Energy which brings to pass the cycles of the Eternal Recurrence.
