A Brave Man Hazards Life,

O God, How Lovely Still Is Life!

Each State Of The Human Mind Has Some Parable In The Physical Creation By Which It Is Shadowed Forth; Nor Is It Only Artists And Poets, But Even The Most Abstract Thinkers That Have Drawn From This Source. Lively Activity We Name Fire; Time Is A Stream That Rolls On, Sweeping All Before It; Eternity Is A Circle; A Mystery Is Hid In Midnight Gloom, And Truth Dwells In The Sun. Nay, I Begin To Believe That Even The Future Destiny Of The Human Race Is Prefigured In The Dark Oracular Utterances Of Bodily Creation.

It Would Be Necessary That They Should Be Already Sages To Love Wisdom...

O Jealousy! Thou Magnifier Of Trifles.

A Healthy Nature Needs No God Or Immortality
