The river Rjeka, for instance, enters into the grottoes of S. Canzian, near Divača a succession of narrow abysses, hollows, pits, waterfalls, and stalactite grottoes, with pools in them; and other examples will be noted farther down the coast. The Castle of Duino has been called "The pearl of the Coastlands."
And it seemed to me that night that the road spoke to the river by Wrellisford bridge, speaking with the voice of many pilgrims. And the road said to the river: 'I rest here. How is it with you? And the river, who is always speaking, said: 'I rest nowhere from doing the Work of the World. I carry the murmur of inner lands to the sea, and to the abysses voices of the hills.
Jesus stood up erect. And when he lifted up his face it seemed as if his eye was the nucleus of all light. So he forgot the world and remained in the wilderness. Each day he penetrated deeper into it, past abysses and roaring beasts. The stones tore his feet, but he marked it not; snakes stung his heels, but he noticed it not. Whence did he obtain nourishment?
How different it is to look up into those awful abysses, and to wonder where, amidst their crushing infinitude, the spirits of dear ones that are gone are wandering, if they are at all; and to look up and to think 'My Christ hath passed through the Heavens, and is somewhere with a true Body, and with Him all that loved Him.
In fact there's nothing she CAN." Strether wondered little as he had thought of this. Then he broke out. "Oh you women!" There was something in it at which she flushed. "Yes there we are. We're abysses." At last she smiled. "But I risk her!" He gave himself a shake. "Well then so do I!" But he added as they passed into the house that he would see Chad the first thing in the morning.
"A world where much is to be done, and little is to be known:" do not sink yourselves in boundless bottomless abysses of Doubt, of wretched god-forgetting Unbelief; you were miserable then, powerless, mad: how could you do or work at all? Such Gospel Johnson preached and taught; coupled, theoretically and practically, with this other great Gospel, "Clear your mind of Cant!"
'True, Madam, you may think to part Conditions by a glacier-ridge, But Beauty's for the largest heart, And all abysses Love can bridge! "Hippias now laughed; grimly, as men laugh at the emptiness of words." "Largest heart!" he sneered. "What's a 'glacier-ridge'? I've never seen one. I can't deny it rhymes with 'bridge. But don't go parading your admiration of that person, Richard.
As we journeyed onwards the trees became fewer and farther between, until at length no soil was left in which they could grow. The way was so confined by chasms and abysses on the one side, and walls of rock on the other, that there was scarcely room for a horse to pass. Suddenly a loud voice before us cried, "Halt!"
Two great inventive geniuses we may see dimly through the abysses of the past, both of whom must have become in their time great chiefs, founders of mighty aristocracies it may be, worshipped after their death as gods.
There are no exceptions, no deviation from general principles, no shadings off, no fascinating obscurities, no rude practical jokes, no undignified by-play, no "east windows of divine surprise," no dark unfathomable abysses. He would not allow such things. In his world the unexpected never happens. The endless chain of causation runs smoothly.
