Appreciations 
307 
from which I have got my line, describes the being who has attained the perfect 
life — that is to say, the life of self-conquest. The passages from which I have made 
my extracts are these : 
(1) "And he lets his mind pervade one quarter of the world with thoughts of 
Love, and so the second, and so the third, and so the fourth. And thus the whole 
wide world, above, below, around, and everywhere, does he continue to pervade 
with heart of Love, far-reaching, grown great, and beyond measure." 
(2) "Just as a mighty trumpeter makes himself heard — and that without 
difficulty — in all the four directions ; even so, of all things that have shape or life, 
there is not one that he passes by or leaves aside, but regards them all with mind 
set free, and deep-felt love, pity and e(pianimity." 
The inscription as I shall put it above the grave will be this : 
" Here lie, in Sacredness and Honour, 
the Ashes of the Body 
of 
Charles Buckman Goring, 
Doctor of Medicine, Bachelor of Science, 
Fellow of University College, London, 
and 
Medical Officer in Chief of Strangeways Prison, Manchester. 
Born January 81st, LS70 ; Died May 5th, 1919." 
And underneath I shall put this: 
" Of all things that have shape or life there is not one that he 
passes by or leaves aside, but regards them all with mind set free 
and deep-felt love, pity, and equanimity." 
Katie Macdonald Goring.
