Willy Pogany... illustrations from The Song Celestial 1934
from The Song Celestial (Bhagavad Gita) by Sir Edwin Arnold
illustrated by Willy Pogany
Dwelling outside the stress
Of passion, fear, and anger; fixed in calms
Of lofty contemplation;
The Doors of Hell
Are threefold, whereby men to ruin pass, --
The door of Lust, the door of Wrath, the door
Of Averice.
" The elements, the conscious life, the mind,
The unseen vital force, the nine strange gates
Of the body, and the five domains of sense;
Desire, dislike, pleasure and pain, and thought
Deep-woven, and persistency of being;
These all are wrought on Matter by the Soul! "
