ATMA.
A ROMANCE
BY
A.C.F.
(CAROLINE AUGUSTA FRAZER)
"When atman (nom. sing. Atma) occurs in philosophical treatises ...
it has generally been translated by soul, mind, or spirit. I tried
myself to use one or other of these words, but the oftener I
employed them the more I felt their inadequacy, and was driven at
last to adopt ... Self as the least liable to misunderstanding."
_Max Muller, in North American Review for June_, 1879.
MONTREAL:
JOHN LOVELL & SON,
23 ST. NICHOLAS STREET.
Entered according to Act of Parliament in the year 1891, by JOHN LOVELL
& SON, in the office of the Minister of Agriculture and Statistics at
Ottawa.
ATMA
CHAPTER I.
O that Decay were always beautiful!
How soft the exit of the dying day,
The dying season too, its disarray
Is gold and scarlet, hues of gay misrule,
So it in festive cheer may pass away;
Fading is excellent in earth or air,
With it no budding April may compare,
Nor fragrant June with long love-laden hours;
Sweet is decadence in the quiet bowers
Where summer songs and mirth are fallen asleep,
And sweet the woe when fading violets weep.
