Should you look into the mirror of your own heart, which is free from the defilements of this world of dust, you would clearly see the truth of what has been set forth. From the time of your departure no day passes without mention being made of your name.
Our souls were intended to be the masters of our flesh, to conquer all the weaknesses, defilements of our constitution our tempers, our cowardice, our laziness, our hastiness, our nervousness, our vanity, our love of pleasure to listen to our spirits, because our spirits learn from God's Spirit what is right and noble.
Aslant the face, with gratuitous blasphemy, the crown of thorns was tilted. These two Calvaries picture for me the part that Christ is playing in the present war. He survives in the noble self-effacement of the men. He is re-crucified in the defilements that are wrought upon their bodies. God as we see Him! And do we see Him? I think so, but not always consciously.
The very leaves upon its trees were foul with greasy black defilements. Where is lime-white Paris, with its green and disciplined foliage, its hard unflinching tastefulness, its smartly organized viciousness, and the myriads of workers, noisily shod, streaming over the bridges in the gray cold light of dawn.
Then he gave it to the girl, and Ali said to her, 'Salute thy lady for me and tell her of my passion and longing and how love is blent with my flesh and my bones; and say to her that I need one who shall deliver me from the sea of destruction and save me from this dilemma; for of a truth fortune oppresseth me with its vicissitudes; and is there any helper to free me from its defilements?

There can be no doubt whatever that, in consequence of the efforts which every man may consciously exert and as a result of the exertion of his own spiritual faculties, this mirror can be so cleansed from the dross of earthly defilements and purged from satanic fancies as to be able to draw nigh unto the meads of eternal holiness and attain the courts of everlasting fellowship.
He looked at my sheds. "You've changed the look of this valley, too," he said. "Temporary defilements," I remarked, guessing what was in his mind. "Of course. Things come and go. Things come and go. But H'm. I've just been up over the hill to look at Mr. Edward Ponderevo's new house. That that is something more permanent. A magnificent place! in many ways. Imposing.
He was naturally hot, impetuous and resentful indolent, fond of pleasure and of women's society disposed to make a joke of everything. He told me that he had fought against his faults with study, fasting and prayer, and thus his whole life was in fact unpolluted with the world's defilements.
As well take some mighty athlete with muscles of steel, rig him up with purple drapery and meretricious ornament, rouge and powder his cheeks; faugh, what an object one would make of him with such defilements!" But meretricious ornament was popular, and poets, historians, and orators alike scrambled to see who could most adorn his speech.
It may indeed be truly said of the whole of this philosophy, that it is the greatest good which man can participate: for if it purifies us from the defilements of the passions and assimilates us to Divinity, it confers on us the proper felicity of our nature.
