a dim foreshadowing of the divine urge which is prompting all creation to unfold itself and to rise out of its limitations towards its Godlike possibilities. Poetry in the past has done that in moments of supreme elevation; in the future there seems to be some chance of its making it a more conscious aim and steadfast endeavour." Vegetarianism Cousins and wife Margaret were interested in anti-vivisection, theosophy, vegetarianism and women's suffrage. They were both strict vegetarians and in 1905 founded the Irish Vegetarian Society. Cousins lectured on "The Cruelties and Diseases Connected with Flesh-Eating" which was awarded first prize at the Vegetarian Federal Union in June 1907. Works POEMS BY JAMES H.
