The lover of beauty and the lover of God alike know these strange moments, but none know them with such a mighty satisfaction as a man and a woman who love as loved Elizabeth and I. Love for ever completes the world, for it is no future of higher achievement, no expectation of greater joy. It lives for ever in a present made perfect by itself.
Masons, paviours in wooden shoes, tipped with iron, and other hard-working men, in short, repair to guingettes, and make the very earth tremble with their heavy, but picturesque capers, forming groups worthy of the pencil of Teniers. Lastly, one more link completes the chain of this nomenclature of caperers.
A salamander completes the main design, while at the back the phoenix, bird fabled to rise from fire, helps support the figure. These four figures are of the sort of art that is likely to turn the unthinking person away, though a study of them will bring out new beauties with riper acquaintance.
Conspiracy of the Pazzi, a powerful family of Florence, against the Medici; most of the conspirators massacred by the people; the others judicially punished. Sultan Mahomet II, of the Ottoman Empire, completes the subjugation of Albania. Novgorod taken by Ivan III, of Russia, who puts an end to its republic. Battle of Guinegate; Maximilian defeats the French.

None but the declared enemies of the Church and misdirected Catholics can fail to see in this the directing influence of the Holy Ghost.
The result is seen in imitative manners, affected culture, and a mixture of timorous self-consciousness within and noisy self-assertion without, which completes the most distasteful scene that any collected spirit can witness. Rousseau was, as has been said, the secretary of Madame Dupin and her stepson Francueil.
The purified fires of hell shine in the glories of the Saints. And thus does this terrible hypermysticism impart to the lost one a consolation which completes the ruin of the rotten walls of the edifice of his existence; just as it is when the madman derives comfort and enjoyment from his madness, that his recovery is known to be hopeless." "Oh, please go no further," cried Sylvester.
Now the idea of Restoration rounds out and completes that view. I fully believe that in this matter I do not stand alone. I believe that this same liberal view of the Atonement is held, consciously or unconsciously, by the great majority of our ministers and members.
But the fact is that, in many cases, the city only completes what was well begun at home, begun in evenings spent in country grocery stores, and on the piazzas of village taverns.
