10. oldal - ... one with Nature: there is heard His voice in all her music, from the moan Of thunder to the song of night's sweet bird; He is a presence to be felt and known In darkness and in light, from herb and stone, Spreading itself where'er that Power may move Which has withdrawn his being to its own; Which wields the world with never wearied love, Sustains it from beneath, and kindles it above.
188. oldal - This generalisation appears to me to have that high degree of scientific evidence which is derived from the concurrence of the indications of history with the probabilities derived from the constitution of the human mind. Nor could it be easily conceived, from the mere enunciation of such a proposition, what a flood of light it lets in upon the whole course of history, when its consequences are traced, by...
191. oldal - ... we distinguish as intelligent. As soon as the organism, feebly sensitive to a jar or vibration propagated through its medium, contracts itself so as to be in less danger from the adjacent source of disturbance, we perceive a nascent form of the life classed as psychical. That is to say, whenever the correspondences exhibit some extension in Space or in Time, some increase of Speciality or Complexity, we find we have crossed the boundary between physical life and psychical life.
190. oldal - But the moment we rose to a type of creature which adjusts certain organic relations to relations of which both terms are not presented to its surface, we passed into adjustments of the psychological order. As soon as there exists a rudimentary eye capable of receiving an impression from a moving object about to strike the organism, and so rendering it possible for the organism to make some adapted movement, there is shown the dawn of actions we distinguish as intelligent.
145. oldal - Give us our daily bread. For you we are content to toil, For you our blood like rain is shed ; Then, lords and rulers of the soil, Give us our daily bread.
44. oldal - BALDER, the white sun-god, has departed ! Beautiful as summer dawn was he ; Loved of gods and men — the royal-hearted Balder, the white sun-god, has departed — Has gone home where all the brave ones be. For the tears of the imperial mother, For a universe that weeps and prays, Rides Hermoder forth to seek his Brother — Rides for love of that distressful mother, Through lead-colored glens and cross-blue ways.
119. oldal - Faith will never leave us ; God preserves what God has made, Nor can truth deceive us. Let in light — the holy light ! Brothers, fear it never ; Darkness smiles, and wrong grows right : Let in light forever...
3. oldal - On religion in particular the time appears to me to have come, when it is the duty of all who being qualified in point of knowledge, have on mature consideration satisfied themselves that the current opinions are not only false but hurtful, to make their dissent known...
120. oldal - I will hope and work and love, Singing to the hours, While the stars are bright above, And below the flowers. Who in such a world as this Could not heal his sorrow ? Welcome this sweet hour of bliss! Sunrise comes to-morrow. Let in light, &c.
131. oldal - Thro' the mist and thro' the murkness, Travels the great human soul. Believe in God. Ye have often read the story Of the hero of our race, How the gloom outran the glory, And the wrath outran the grace ; How he trod the earth in sorrow, Yet left bliss where'er he trod, How he died, yet on the morrow, Sprang from death to light and God. Believe in God. In his love and his endurance, In his manliness sublime, Labour shone with bright assurance Of a holier, happier time. Then, my brothers, love and...
