What is certain is that we can hold up our heads serenely among the immensities, knowing that we are immenser than they. Even if they were malevolent and that they do not seem to be they are no more terrible than the familiar dangers of our homely earth. They cannot hurt us more than we can be hurt an obvious truism but one which is often overlooked.

I think indeed more needed, to furnish statements from the present points, the added arriere, and the unspeakably immenser vistas of to-day.

Nevertheless, considered as a church, it was exceedingly minute, being scarcely twice a man's stature in height, and only two or three paces from wall to wall; and while their collected torches illuminated this one small, consecrated spot, the great darkness spread all round it, like that immenser mystery which envelops our little life, and into which friends vanish from us, one by one.

In the future of these States must arise poets immenser far, and make great poems of death. The poems of life are great, but there must be the poems of the purports of life, not only in itself, but beyond itself. I have eulogized Homer, the sacred bards of Jewry, Eschylus, Juvenal, Shakspere, &c., and acknowledged their inestimable value.
