Página 169 - The problem of restoring to the world original and eternal beauty, is solved by the redemption of the soul. The ruin or the blank, that we see when we look at nature, is in our own eye.
Página 173 - ... planter, who is Man sent out into the field to gather food, is seldom cheered by any idea of the true dignity of his ministry.

Página 98 - The first leaf of the New Testament it does not open. It believes in a Providence which does not treat with levity a pound sterling. They are neither transcendentalists nor Christians. They put up no Socratic prayer, much less any saintly prayer for the queen's mind ; ask neither for light nor right, but say bluntly, " grant her in health and wealth long to live." And one traces this Jewish prayer in all English private history, from the prayers of King Richard, in Richard of Devizes' Chronicle,...
Página 147 - Nature is the vehicle of thought, and in a simple, double, and three-fold degree. 1 . Words are signs of natural facts. 2 . Particular natural facts are symbols of particular spiritual facts. 3 . Nature is the symbol of spirit.
