The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Pagan and Christian Creeds by Edward Carpenter: your life, and one another with a true heart." Joseph
(p. 173): "I was sick, and the Lord visited me; in prison,
and my God showed favor unto me." Benjamin (p. 209):
"For as the sun is not defiled by shining on dung and mire,
but rather drieth up both and driveth away the evil
smell, so also the pure mind, encompassed by the defilements
of earth, rather cleanseth them and is not itself defiled."
[1] The references being to the Edition by R. H. Charles (1907).
I think these quotations are sufficient to prove the high
standard of this book, which was written in the Second Century
B. C., and FROM which the New Testament authors copiously
Pagan and Christian Creeds |
The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Phantasmagoria and Other Poems by Lewis Carroll: He laughed aloud for very glee:
There came a breeze from off the sea:
It passed athwart the glooming flat -
It fanned his forehead as he sat -
It lightly bore away his hat,
All to the feet of one who stood
Like maid enchanted in a wood,
Frowning as darkly as she could.
With huge umbrella, lank and brown,
Unerringly she pinned it down,
Right through the centre of the crown.
