You have eliminated the first, and the second seems suddenly inane." She raised her eyes. "Philip, please join us. I want you to." Zarathustra, whose real name was Siddenon Phenphonderill, left them standing there in each other's arms and trotted down the street and out of town.
"Very likely she'd give us another figure like those that are stuck all over Boston, like pins in a pincushion," Hubbard objected. "Some carpet-knight, with a face spread over with a grin as inane as that of Henry Clay on a cigar-box cover." Irons laughed contemptuously, and rose, throwing away his cigar stub. "Well, I must go," he announced. "We don't seem to be getting ahead very fast.
They are the wild legends of the Puranas, and inane dialogues and lying incantations of the Tantras two classes of works which are both the most popular and are lowest in the range of their ideas and most demoralizing in the cults which they present. These books were ostensibly written for the common people and for women.
There are a few of us who keep the faith, who do not bow the knee to Baal, who hold fast to what is high and good in the doctrine of political equality; in whose hearts the altar-fires of rational liberty are kept aglow, beaconing the darkness of that illimitable inane where their countrymen, inaccessible to the light, wander witless in the bogs of political unreason, alternately adoring and damning the man-made gods of their own stature.
