I fulfill'd in that an imperious conviction, and the commands of my nature as total and irresistible as those which make the sea flow, or the globe revolve. But of this supplementary volume, I confess I am not so certain.
Was not our father Abraham justify'd By works, and by the same his faith was try'd; When he his Isaac to the altar brought; Seest thou how with his works his faith then wrought? And with his works he perfected his faith? And so the scripture was fulfill'd, which saith, Abraham believed God, and 'twas imputed For righteousness, and he God's friend reputed.
"To leave unseen so many a glorious sight, To leave so many lands unvisited, To leave so many books unread, Unrealized so many visions bright; Oh! wretched yet inevitable spite Of our short span, and we must yield our breath, And wrap us in the unfeeling coil of death, So much remaining of unproved delight, But hush, my soul, and vain regrets be still'd; Find rest in Him Who is the complement Of whatsoe'er transcends our mortal doom, Of broken hope and frustrated intent; In the clear vision and aspect of Whom All wishes and all longings are fulfill'd."
"We cannot kindle when we will The fire which in the heart resides; The spirit bloweth and is still, In mystery our soul abides. But tasks in hours of insight will'd Can be through hours of gloom fulfill'd."

Magnus sine viribus Ignis Incassum furit' Virg.

Strange as it may sound for a democrat to say so, I am clear that no free and original and lofty-soaring poem, or one ambitious of those achievements, can possibly be fulfill'd by any writer who has largely in his thought the public or the question, What will establish'd literature What will the current authorities say about it?
It reminded him of a harebell. His expression hardened as he fought down the tide of longing which surged up within him at the sight of her, and from some disused corner of his subconscious mind the lines of the old Persian Tentmaker seemed to leap out at him and mock him: "Heav'n but the Vision of fulfill'd Desire, And Hell the Shadow from a Soul on fire."
The prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah have become a part of the permanent spiritual inheritance of mankind, because events proved that they had interpreted correctly the sign of their own times, and their prophecies were fulfill'd. Carlyle, like them, believ'd that he had a special message to deliver to the present age.
Washington, Canada, Ohio, Texas, California and with our notions, both of seriousness and of fun, and our standards of heroism, manliness, and even the democratic requirements those requirements are not only not fulfill'd in the Shaksperean productions, but are insulted on every page.
