His monument is like him a plain large obelisk of coarse granite, unpretending in its simple ugliness and prominent a mile off. Among the innumerable little white sorrows of the cemetery it looks exactly as he used to look among clever people. Depend upon it cleverness is the antithesis of greatness. The British Empire, like the Roman, was built up by dull men.
He was running over three or four names of members of that body who were known to him. "Certainly," said Crashaw, "the Local Education Authority alone has the right to prosecute, but " He did not state his antithesis. They had come to the crux which Crashaw had wished to avoid. He had no influence with the committee of the L.E.A., and Challis's recommendation would have much weight.
But I know you are only laughing at me. The strange thing is that she likes him, though I am sure she knew very well that Reginald Oh, when one thinks how many people there are in this world who do not get what they wish most and how many people there are " Ursula paused, involved in her own antithesis, and Sophy ended it for her with a sigh.
There is an intensifying of certain spiritual emotions; an increase of sensitiveness, a failure of nerve. Now this antithesis is often exaggerated by the admirers of one side or the other. A hundred people write as if Sophocles had no mysticism and practically speaking no conscience. Half a dozen retort as if St. Paul had no public spirit and no common sense.
To express this idea by an Hegelian formula, I will say: Communism the first expression of the social nature is the first term of social development, the THESIS; property, the reverse of communism, is the second term, the ANTITHESIS. When we have discovered the third term, the SYNTHESIS, we shall have the required solution.
It suffices to say that in general the school has been the institution which exhibited with greatest clearness the assumed antithesis between purely individualistic methods of learning and social action, and between freedom and social control.
But here an important distinction is to be made. For the Soul must not be called upon to moderate those passions which are only an outbreak of the lower spirits of Nature, nor can it be displayed in antithesis with these; for where calm considerateness is still in contention with them, the Soul has not yet appeared; they must be moderated by unassisted Nature in Man, by the might of the Spirit.
Galleon, as she watched him, was reminded of other things, of other persons, of other events, that had marked his earlier life. She glanced from Peter's eyes to Bobby's. She smiled, for on an earlier day, she had seen that same antithesis the gulf that is fixed between Imagination and Reality and had known its meaning.
He would have allowed no antithesis between the two halves of the text, but would have taught that the eternal welfare of man consisted in obeying the Law, receiving the Grace, and pursuing the Truth. Nothing more dogmatic than this could safely be put forward as representing his theology; but, though not dogmatic, his mind was intensely ecclesiastical.
So shalt thou love and know and do, and so shall He love and guide thee! III. Now one word, and then I have done. A third character stands here the unloving and self-righteous man, all ignorant of the love of Christ. He is the antithesis of the woman and her character. You remember the traditional peculiarities and characteristics of the class to which he belonged.
