CHAPTER II
50/56

Mysticism keeps men sane.

As long as you have mystery you have health; when you destroy mystery you create morbidity.
The ordinary man has always been sane because the ordinary man has always been a mystic.

He has permitted the twilight.

He has always had one foot in earth and the other in fairyland.
