No human experience can be more vital or more normal than that which is expressed in these words, and no argument, be it ever so subtle or so baffling, can weigh a feather's-weight against such experience. The same conception of the relations of God and man is expressed again as unmistakably in every word of Jesus about the Father and the Son and the nature of their communion with each other.
"Not her especially, though I cannot but think she would like a marriage that would keep all the family together, and would give you an equal claim to the property to that which I have." "That would not have a feather's-weight with mamma." "Have you asked her?" "No, I have mentioned the matter to no one." "Then you cannot know.
But then Portia gives us to understand, that she, too, has her private troubles; that even that excellent man, Brutus, is not without his moods in his domestic administrations, for on one occasion, when he treats her to 'ungentle looks, and 'stamps his foot, and angrily gesticulates her out of his presence, she makes good her retreat, thinking 'it was but the effect of humour, which, she says, 'sometime hath his hour with every man'; and, good and patriotic as Brutus truly is, Cassius perceives, upon experiment, that after all he too is but a man, and, with a particular and private nature, as well as a larger one 'which is the worthier, and not unassailable through that 'single I myself': he, too, may be 'thawed from the true quality with that which melteth fools, with words that flatter 'his particular. In his conference with him, Cassius addresses himself skilfully to this weakness; he poises the name of Caesar with that of Brutus, and, at the last, he clinches his patriotic appeal, with an appeal to his personal sentiment, of baffled, mortified emulation; for those writings, thrown in at his window, purporting to come from several citizens, 'all tended to the great opinion that Rome held of his name; and, alas! the Poet will not tell us that this did not unconsciously wake, in that pure mind, the feather's-weight that was perhaps needed to turn the scale.
