All that comes of your hard-hearted, hard-headed, music-painting-and-poetry-despising, utilitarian, intellectual, all-in-all educationists, who know nothing so admirable as a steam-engine, and would wish to see the whole world worked by machinery. Here is a specimen of the slip-slop with which so many thousand reams of paper have lately been spoiled.
"Such is human popularity!" continued the indomitable vagabond, putting the key cheerfully in his pocket. "Yesterday Joyce was my all-in-all. To-day I don't care that for him!" He snapped his fingers and sat down to breakfast. "I don't understand you," said Magdalen, looking at him angrily. "Are you leaving me to my own resources for the future?"
The holy All-in-all be wi' her i' the dark, or whatever comes! O God, hand up her heid, and latna the watters gang ower her!" So-called Theology rose, dull, rampant, and indignant; but the solemn face of the dead interdicted dispute, and Love was ready to hope, if not quite to believe.
Her departure left no empty place; even her children scarcely missed her. The father was all-in-all. Gustave had married at twenty years of age. He was twenty-nine when his wife died.

He knew God as infinite, and therefore as the All-in-all; and we shall know this truth when we awake in the divine likeness. Jesus' true and conscious being never left heaven for earth. It abode forever above, even while mortals believed it was here. The real Christ was unconscious of matter, of sin, disease, and death, and was conscious only of God, of good, of eternal Life, and harmony.
"A reasoning, self-sufficing thing, An intellectual all-in-all." Every true poem is an offering upon the altar of art; it exists to no other end; it teaches as nature teaches; it is good as nature is good; its art is the art of nature; it brings our spirits in closer and more loving contact with the universe; it is for the edification of the soul.
OLIMPIÁDA SAMSÓNOVNA. All sorts both woollens and silks; not long ago I had a crape made with gold trimmings. USTÍNYA NAÚMOVNA. How much have you, all-in-all, my jewel?
Will you defraud yourself of your own Marianna, you dog? Are you going to throw her at that diabolical rascal's head? The sweet Marianna your life, your hope, your all-in-all? Ah, beware!
