Geologists and palaeontologists write about the "beginning of life" and the "first-created forms of living beings," as if they were the most familiar things in the world; and even cautious writers seem to be on quite friendly terms with the "archetype" whereby the Creator was guided "amidst the crash of falling worlds."
While there are those who would not for worlds give up the pleasure of tinkering with the tongs and poker while the fire burns, it will perhaps not detract from this enjoyment if the tinkering is not actually the result of necessity to keep the logs burning.
"Not for worlds," cried Wagner, with an enthusiasm which denoted sincerity, "would I betray ye!" "'Tis well," said the Rosicrucian, with philosophic calmness as if he put more faith in the protecting influence of Heaven than in the promises of man. "I shall not accompany thee further.
So far I am not my body; and then as clearly, since I suffer through it, see the whole world through it and am always to be called upon where it is, I am it.

I leaped the little brook in the valley and strode hastily up the opposite slope. I cannot describe what a sense I had of new worlds to be found here in old fields. So I came to the fence on the other side and looked over. My man was kneeling again at the rock. I was scarcely twenty paces from him, but so earnestly was he engaged that he never once saw me. I had a good look at him.

I tell you I would not have missed it for ten thousand worlds!" "Madame, you must not talk like this!" said Sir Norman, almost sternly.
