So long as he kept silence he resisted the Pursuer so long as he resisted the Pursuer he must fly, he must escape first into Silence, then into Sound, then back again to Silence.

This was not the same thing as that yielding to the practical advisers which began at Philadelphia, which was subsequently to be the cause of so much confusion.

Hitherto, Lincoln's progress in literature had been marked by the development of two characteristics and by the lack of a third.
With them I fought as I could but against them of earth's generation None is there breathing to-day that could stand in the tempest of battle; Yet they admitted me near and attended the words of my counsel. Hear too, ye, and be sway'd; for in yielding to counsel is wisdom.
Nature, herself, has given this particular shade to the grass and leaves of trees and plants, so that the soothing effect of the country scene is produced. The aura of a person experiencing these feelings, and yielding to them, will manifest precisely the tint or shade of green which is shown on the grass and leaves around him, so true is this natural law of action and reaction.
