And this suggests a special talisman of the old Egyptians, a sign called the Eyes of Horus, meaning the all-beholding sun. The Egyptian lotus garden had to be inundated to be a success. Ours needs but the hired man with the hose, who sometimes supplies broad comedy. But we turn over the cardboard, for the deeper meaning of this hieroglyphic.
"'Yet a few days, and thee the all-beholding sun shall see no more." quoted Emma Dean lugubriously. "Not quite so bad as that," returned Elfreda with an appreciative grin. "Even we juniors feel more or less that way," said Laura Atkins. "I never had any real fun until I came to Overton.
On each side of the clear and open brow descended, even to the shoulders, the clustering locks of golden hair; while the eyes, large and yet deep, beamed with a spiritual energy, and shone like two wells of crystalline water that reflect the all-beholding heavens. Now when Venetia Herbert beheld this countenance a change came over her.
I got my journal and wrote down, 'Yet in a few days, and thee, the all-beholding sun shall see no more. It's from Thanatopsis, you know, and I thought how beautiful it would be to leave all this world, and soar and soar, right up to higher planes and be at peace. Laura, dearest, do you think I ever ought to marry?" "Why not, girlie? Why shouldn't you marry.
How flaccid in muscle, how narrow in intelligence, how shallow in affection! Yet, as to an all-beholding eye the sun pours light through all the planetary spaces, and the night, which to us on the world's darkened side seems all-enfolding, is in truth but a shadowy fleck in the vast sun-steeped sphere: so, of the soul's universe, the native, all-pervasive element is conscious good.
The points of view are chosen with the fine feeling of an artist, and the tangled profusion and grace of the forest, with the moment's whim of sunfleck and shadow, are given with exquisite delicacy. Whatever the all-beholding sun could see in those woodland depths we have here, sketches of the shaggy Pan snatched at unawares in sleep.
Year after year, century after century, millions of men have gone forth in the light of the all-beholding and life-giving sun to cast into the bosom of the earth the sustenance of their children! It is a sublime act of faith, and this sacrifice of a present for a future good, an actual for a potential blessing, is no less beautiful and holy because familiar and old.
I ask yon Heaven, the all-beholding Sun, Has it not seen? The Sea, in storm or calm, Heaven's ever-changing shadow, spread below, Have its deaf waves not heard my agony? Ah me! alas, pain, pain ever, forever! The crawling glaciers pierce me with the spears Of their moon-freezing crystals; the bright chains Eat with their burning gold into my bones.
What girl is there beneath the all-beholding heavens who does not long to know that the man she loves thinks her beautiful? Who does not long for him to tell her? "And what a lovely dress you are wearing." "I've worn it three times since you came down from Oxford, and you've never once mentioned it." "I never saw it as I see it now. I never saw as I see you now. Nancy, there's no one like.
But we must remember that the dull vision of mortal man cannot pierce the veil of futurity, which is as crystal to the all-beholding eye of the First Cause. Though you love each other truly, unforeseen things may come between you to mar the perfection of your happiness. Therefore a time is granted you during which you may discover whether or not your unions are perfect."
