Pàgina 136 - O GODDESS ! sing the wrath of Peleus' son, Achilles ; sing the deadly wrath that brought Woes numberless upon the Greeks, and swept To Hades many a valiant soul, and gave Their limbs a prey to dogs and birds of air, — For so had Jove appointed, — from the time When the two chiefs, Atrides, king of men, And great Achilles, parted first as foes.
Pàgina 639 - I mused it in his antique tongue, I saw, in gradual vision through my tears, The sweet, sad years, the melancholy years, Those of my own life, who by turns had flung A shadow across me. Straightway I was 'ware, So weeping, how a mystic Shape did move Behind me, and drew me backward by the hair: And a voice said in mastery, while I strove, — 'Guess now who holds thee?' — 'Death,' I said. But, there, The silver answer rang, — 'Not Death, but Love.
Pàgina 222 - DRAMA, and that the following is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, management (and if a daily paper, the circulation), etc., of the aforesaid publication for the date shown in the above caption, required by the Act of August 24, 1912, embodied in section 443, Postal Laws and Regulations, printed on the reverse of this form, to wit: 1.
Pàgina 280 - I am confident, at the root of most of the widespread doubt and disbelief in immortality at the present day. People do not believe in a future life because the forms in which the belief has been presented to their minds seem, on the one hand, to be intellectually untenable, and, on the other, to be unattractive or even repellent. Traditional pictures of Hell seem morally revolting ; while the Heaven of Sunday School teaching or popular hymnology is a place which the plain man does not believe to...
Pàgina 209 - The second aspect manifests itself in the intuitional world, and we speak of it as the Intuition in man. The third shows itself in the higher mental world, and we call it the Intelligence in man. These three aspects taken together constitute the ego which ensouls the fragment from the groupsoul. Thus man as we know him, though in reality a Monad residing in the monadic world, shows himself as an ego in the higher mental world, manifesting these three aspects of himself (spirit, intuition and intelligence)...
Pàgina 387 - The argument from design would indeed be changed, it would require to be stated in a new form, but it would be fully as cogent as before. Indeed it is, perhaps, not too much to say, that the more fully this conception of universal evolution is grasped, the more firmly a scientific doctrine of Providence will be established, and the stronger will be the presumption of a future progress.
Pàgina 387 - ... animals and plants now existent were developed by a natural process of evolution from that germ, were a demonstrated truth, we should still be able to point to the evidences of intelligence displayed in the measured and progressive development, in those exquisite forms so different from what blind chance could produce...
Pàgina 398 - — That face, so full of pity, and of grief, that rain of tears, that awful mute appeal to me, that solemn hand upraised towards Heaven ! "Agnes?
Pàgina 286 - ... Human Immortality, pp. 9, 10. gether, declared themselves either disbelievers or doubters in regard to belief in immortality. Of the more eminent as distinguished from men of lesser reputation, only 36.9 proclaimed themselves believers. The biologists produced a smaller number of believers than the physicists, 50 per cent. being credited to the former, 57 per cent. to the latter. Of the men of greater standing among the biologists only 25 per cent. avowed their belief in a future life. Another...
Pàgina 282 - ... moral categories which have been found to work in our experience here and now. One of these great formative principles is that of growth. Man's personality is never a finished article; it is a growing organism. Now to suppose that the world beyond the grave is the scene of irrevocable woe or bliss in which a man enters at death is to suppose something that offends the moral sense, because it contradicts all that which our experience in this world certifies. As Dr. James Ward remarks: "That a...
