THE BLACK PEARL.
Comme le fil de soie qui relie les perles d’un collier, l’Ego, à
travers les Ages, passe en des vies successives, heureuses ou tristes,
criminelles ou vertueuses dans son long Pélérinage vers la Perfection.
With grateful thanks to M-- W-- for having translated into English the
story of Jeanne and her struggle “Vers la Lumière.”
