What we maintain is that evils of this kind are not necessarily inconsistent with enjoyment, and may even give to life an additional zest. And surely this divine law of compensation has not left the innocent birds unprovided for, the innocent birds of whom it was said, "Your heavenly Father feedeth them."
In pastures green he feedeth me, Where I do safely lie; And after leads me to the streams, Which run most pleasantly. And when I find myself near lost, Then home he doth me take; Conducting me in his right paths, E'en for his own name's sake. And tho' I were e'en at death's door, Yet would I fear no ill: For both thy rod and shepherd's crook Afford me comfort still.
An old man appeared, who carried a light, and asked: "Who cometh unto me and my bad sleep?" "A living man and a dead one," said Zarathustra. "Give me something to eat and drink, I forgot it during the day. He that feedeth the hungry refresheth his own soul, saith wisdom." The old man withdrew, but came back immediately and offered Zarathustra bread and wine.
So he said, 'What is the use of this horse of wood, and what is its virtue and the secret of its movement? 'O my lord, answered the Persian, 'the virtue of this horse is that, if one mount him, it will carry him whither he will and fare with its rider through the air for the space of a year and a day. The King marvelled and was amazed at these three wonders, following thus hard upon each other in one day, and turning to the sage, said to him, 'By the Great God and the Bountiful Lord, who created all creatures and feedeth them with water and victual, an thy speech be true and the virtue of thy handiwork appear, I will give thee whatsoever thou seekest and will bring thee to thy wish and thy desire!
In Matthew 6, we find this soothing rebuke: Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them.
He sighed out the verse from the 'Song of Solomon, 'My beloved is mine, and I am his; He feedeth his flock among the lilies, until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away. He pondered over the words of the 'Imitation: 'It is a great art to know how to talk with Jesus, and it requires much prudence to keep Him near one. And then, with adorable condescension, Jesus came down to him, and spoke with him for hours of his needs, his happiness, and his hopes.
I will tell you this one tale more, and I have done; some of these people being beaten by him, sent to acknowledge him, and to treat with him of a peace, whose messengers carried him three sorts of gifts, which they presented in these terms: "Behold, lord, here are five slaves: if thou art a furious god that feedeth upon flesh and blood, eat these, and we will bring thee more; if thou art an affable god, behold here incense and feathers; but if thou art a man, take these fowls and these fruits that we have brought thee."
"The Lord is my Shepherd; He feedeth me, In the depth of a desert land, And, lest I should in the darkness slip, He holdeth me by the hand. "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want, My mind on Him is stayed, And though through the Valley of Death I walk, I shall not be afraid!" Here, something like a sob interrupted the melody.
For the camel finds alway meat in trees and on bushes, that he feedeth him with: and he may well fast from drink two days or three. And that may no horse do. And wit well that from Babylon to the Mount Sinai is well a twelve good journeys, and some men make them more. And some men hasten them and pain them, and therefore they make them less.
It would scarce have been human nature had not some of the ruffians uttered slurs on the origin of such an one as Hortense found in so strange a case. The mind that feedeth on carrion ever goeth with the large mouth, and for the cleansing of such natures I wot there is no better physic than our crew gave those gossips. What the sailors did I say not.
