"Nay, man, she is the vigorous fecund mother of all outward life, and when she dieth, the end of all things hath come." "A pest on thy dreaming and thy bookish phantasies!" roared Hopkins kicking the smouldering log upon the hearth until a river of sparks flowed up and out of the wide chimney. "Dost thou agree to putting fish to decay amid the corn we are to eat by and by?"
"Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, These three alone lead life to sovereign power." Tennyson If thy right eye cause thee to fall, pluck it out. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed and halt, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire, where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."
If the warning voice of our Lenten Commination Service has convicted any one of us of this motive for shrinking from its stern sentence, it has come to us as a true messenger of the God who has no pleasure in the death of him that dieth. We need the voice of these threatenings, because the heart has such a great power of self-deception in it.
Eternall Torments What These things considered, the texts that mention Eternall Fire, Eternal Torments, or the Word That Never Dieth, contradict not the Doctrine of a Second, and Everlasting Death, in the proper and naturall sense of the word Death.
For behold, there is a wo pronounced upon him who listeth to obey that spirit; for if he listeth to obey him, and remaineth and dieth in his sins, the same drinketh damnation to his own soul; for he receiveth for his wages an everlasting punishment, having transgressed the law of God contrary to his own knowledge.
So they took this rascal friar and scourged him and set him in the water-dungeons where rats do frolic, and to-night at sunset he dieth by slow fire as a warning to Ah! sweet, noble, good my lord, what what would ye " for Beltane had risen and was looking down at the crouching Pardoner, suddenly haggard, pallid-lipped, and with eyes a-glare with awful menace; but now the Pardoner saw that those eyes looked through him and beyond living eyes in a face of death.
In him developed the confidence of the athlete the confidence of the athlete who dies young. Thoreau was an athlete, and he died as the athlete dieth. Irregular diet and continued exposure did their work the vital powers became reduced, the man "caught cold," bronchitis followed, and the tuberculæ laughed. During Thoreau's life he published but two volumes, and these met with scanty sale.
Do all ye can to become wholly weary of self, and bind yourselves to that Countenance of Splendours; and once ye have reached such heights of servitude, ye will find, gathered within your shadow, all created things. This is boundless grace; this is the highest sovereignty; this is the life that dieth not. All else save this is at the last but manifest perdition and great loss.
She squeezed that hairy serpent till her finger-points whitened in his neck, and he dropped lifelessly, crying: Treble-tongues and things of mud! Sprang my beauty from his blood? And the Serpents rose erect, replying: Yearly one of us must die; Yearly for us dieth one; Else the Queen an ugly lie Lives till all our lives be done! Bhanavar stood up, and hurried them to Karatis.
Then Rā hid himself from the gods, and for a season his throne in the Boat of Millions of Years was empty. Eye of Horus, come out of the god, and sparkle as thou comest through his mouth. I am the worker. I make the poison to fall on the ground. The poison is conquered. Truly the name of the great god hath been taken from him. Rā liveth! The poison dieth! If the poison live Rā shall die."
