The Theosophic Boom, its wordy strife
And futile fuss are fading out in "fizzle."
They talk a deal about their "planes of life,"
'Tis plain to me the fitter term were "chisel."

"A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse," says the old saw, and a wink is no doubt as good as a smile to a purblind ass. But the wink is indeed one of the worst uses to which the human eye can he put. It signifies usually the vulgarisation of humour, and the degradation of mirth. It is the favourite eye-language of the cynical cad, the coarse jester, the crapulous clown, and—above all—the chuckling cheat.
