Here were the people, still, in the midst of whom her earliest associations had been formed, changed, indeed,-but yet the same. No, the change was in her, and the very vastness of that change came as a shock. These had stood still, anchored to their traditions, while she had she grown? or merely wandered? She had searched, at least, and seen.
Five days four three two a day and a half the vastness of the spaces over which it must carry him grew endless as his mind continually tried to span them. He felt a distinct grievance that any country should be so wide. "Making good time!" said a genial person, travelling in the tobacco trade. The professor eyed him with suspicion, as a man deranged by optimism. The train crawled.
It was the first glimpse of the torn land of the ominous Bell River gorge. The sight of the gorge made them dizzy.

The pain of the primitive life of Earth, is the sole basis of the bliss of the ultimate life in Heaven. P. Still, there is one of your expressions which I find it impossible to comprehend "the truly substantive vastness of infinity."

Down in the hollow ground, underneath the olives and the orange-trees that flourish in the court of the great Mosque, is a wilderness of pillars remains of the ancient Temple; they supported it.
There is not a thing in this world whereupon your glance or your thought can rest but contains within it more treasure than either of these can fathom; nor is there a thing so small but it has a vastness within that the light that a soul can spare can, at best, but faintly illumine.
'He is the man to get hold of, but that is so difficult now. He never goes anywhere. Let me see, this is Monday; to-morrow is post-day, and I dine with him alone in the City. Well, you shall hear from me on Wednesday morning early, about everything; but I would not write to the colonel and his friends just yet.
