Dr. Allen Griffiths is an audible Theosopher⁠— + 

A student of Blavatsky, inconsolable for loss of her. + 

He says (he’s seen the figures, too) the human race was flourishing + 

Three hundred million years upon this planet, ever nourishing + 

The flame of immortality (which always, though, was flickering + 

Until it burned, a still, eternal red, in Mr. Pickering) + 

Poor brain, then sleeping sweetly in his undefended cranium. + 

Unable to distinguish a surmise from a geranium. + 

O happy, happy period of mental independency! + 

O golden, golden age of Theosophical ascendency! + 
