That secret of a continuous life which the universe knows by heart and acts on every instant cannot be a contradiction incarnate. If logic says it is one, so much the worse for logic. Logic being the lesser thing, the static incomplete abstraction, must succumb to reality, not reality to logic. Our intelligence cannot wall itself up alive, like a pupa in its chrysalis.
He knew Carmen better than she thought he knew her, and he couldn't approve of her as a wife; and yet the fact was that she never gave him any moral worries. "Yes," she said, when the talk drifted that way, "the chrysalis earl has gone. I think that mamma is quite inconsolable. She says she doesn't understand girls, or men, or anything, these days." "Do you?" asked Henderson, lightly. "I? No.
The night was so warm that the child could take no hurt; and indeed what could hurt her, with the nameless fever-moth within, fretting a passage for the new winged body which, in the pains of a second birth, struggled to break from its dying chrysalis.
Athalie heard her teeth chattering, and was cruel enough to whisper in her ear, "To-morrow at this time where will you be?" How should the poor child sleep, when all the slumbering feeling which at this age lie in the chrysalis stage were being prematurely scared into life? Timéa lay till dawn in a fever, and slumber never closed her eyes.
Where was the plague? "Here every where!" one voice of horror and dismay exclaimed, when in the pleasant days of a sunny May the Destroyer of man brooded again over the earth, forcing the spirit to leave its organic chrysalis, and to enter upon an untried life.

Tired as he was, Ben, after noting a curious bell rope in the corner, began to examine his bedclothes.
Four times they moult their skins, these moults being in some respects analogous to the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into chrysalis and butterfly. After the fourth moult, the young aphides attain maturity; and then they give origin, parthenogenetically, to a second brood, also of imperfect females, all produced without any fathers.
But Demi was a wise youth, and never leaped before looking carefully. He hardly knew his own heart yet, and was contented to wait till the sentiment, the fluttering of those folded wings he began to feel, should escape from the chrysalis and be ready to soar away in the sunshine to seek and claim its lovely mate.
He knew, however, that the day could not be far off when the butterfly would emerge from the chrysalis. "My father has gone away," Esperance had said. "Indeed! And where has he gone?" "I have no idea. He simply wrote me a few lines announcing his departure." Goutran did not think it worth while to be astonished, for this was a most singular household. "Then you are entirely your own master?"
