Passing my hands lightly over the keys, I wandered through a few running passages; and as I did so, murmured a brief petition to my aerial friend Aeon.
I would not infer from this that the Jesus of the Fourth Gospel belonged to a different age from the Jesus of the Synoptists, but I would venture to say that the Fourth Evangelist would be easier to defend if he held this theory. The Johannine Jesus ought to have belonged to a different aeon. Well, then, it is reasonable to turn for guidance and help to the East.
This last, modern teachers, having failed to regard it as a virtue, may well decline to regard as a duty; but he is a poor Christian indeed in whom joy has not at least a growing share, and Mary was not a poor Christian at least, for the time she had been learning, and as Christians go in the present aeon of their history.
No, he was not fooling me. He was very grim. And he had not taken off a thing; perhaps he did not think it worth while. "Plain clothes?" I sighed, following the sartorial train of thought, even to the loathly arrows that had decorated my person once already for a little aeon. Next time they would give me double. The skilly was in my stomach when I saw Raffles's face.
For as there is an infinity of past aeons, it follows that, even if one soul only should attain release in each aeon, all souls would by this time have attained release; the actual existence of non-released souls cannot thus be rationally accounted for. But the souls are 'infinite'; this accounts for there being souls not yet released! What, pray, do you understand by this 'infinity' of souls?
It is impossible to believe of any duration whatever that it is determined capriciously. Always it rests upon some ground, ancient as light and darkness, though undiscoverable by man. This only is discoverable, as a general tendency, that the aeon, or generic period of evil, is constantly towards a fugitive duration.
In the celebrated passage, "Philippians" ii. 6-11, the aeon Jesus is described as being the form or visible manifestation of God, yet as humbling himself by taking on the form or semblance of humanity, and suffering death, in return for which he is to be exalted even above the archangels.
I have a dream of laying my head on your breast and sleeping an aeon or so, and the dream will come true ere another year is gone." His power beat against her, wave upon wave; and in the moment his will opposed hers most she felt herself most strongly drawn toward him.
To Claire, as to Erskine, a four months' delay seemed an aeon of time through which to wade before the consummation of a perfect happiness, but it seemed impossible that it could be avoided. "Miss Farnborough would never let me off. She would be indignant with me for asking." "I'll tackle Miss Farnborough.
Faith in God and hope in Christ alone can deliver a man once and for all from Werterism, or any other moral disease; that truth was reserved for "In Memoriam:" but as far as "Locksley Hall" goes, it is a step forward a whole moral aeon beyond Byron and Shelley; and a step, too, in the right direction, just because it is a step forward because the path of deliverance is, as "Locksley Hall" sets forth, not backwards towards a fancied paradise of childhood not backward to grope after an unconsciousness which is now impossible, an implicit faith which would be unworthy of the man, but forward on the road on which God has been leading him, carrying upward with him the aspirations of childhood, and the bitter experience of youth, to help the organised and trustful labour of manhood.
