A TOAST

I bring you our beloved 291 where beauty furthers all in us that is good,
where wisdom understands and forgives all that is weak or evil, where intel-
lectual combats may be many but where the spirit in its eternal struggle
finds a perfect respite.
Agnes Ernst Meyer

291?
The**2” equals the pro and the con—the eternal balance—
the right and the wrong—the beautiful and the
ugly—the yes and the no.
The “9” is a mystic number—the spirit at work—the
yeast in the resisting dough—the opener of
doors—the spark that propels thought—the
unexpected mutation.
The “ 1 ” is the magnet that attracts the presence of
antipathetic forces —the continued monistic note—
the undiverging line.
Marion H. Beckett
