But if we assume the time as excluded, the line vanishes, and we leave space dimensionless, an indistinguishable ALL, and therefore the representative of absolute weakness and formlessness, but, for that very reason, of infinite capacity and formability.
Is the present formlessness and gracelessness and monotony of hue to last forever, as suited to the rough needs of a workaday world? It is to be remembered that the difference in this respect between the dress of the sexes is a very recent thing. Till within a century or so, men dressed as picturesquely as women, and paid as minute attention to their costume.
I am strongly inclined to believe that this supposed "inner formlessness" of certain languages is an illusion.
With dim lights and tangled circumstance they tried to shape their thought and deed in noble agreement; but after all, to common eyes their struggles seemed mere inconsistency and formlessness; for these later-born Theresas were helped by no coherent social faith and order which could perform the function of knowledge for the ardently willing soul.
It is true, that that whereof a thing is made, may by a certain mode of speech, be called by the name of the thing made of it; whence that formlessness, whereof heaven and earth were made, might be called heaven and earth. It is true, that of things having form, there is not any nearer to having no form, than the earth and the deep.
The emotional frenzies, recurring through the day, were past, and she could speak steadily to the man, in the absence of greeting which often emphasizes the self-forgetfulness of love as well as marks the formlessness of common life: "Your supper's waitin' for you, Laban; I've had mine; you must be hungry.

If we except two concepts which limit our knowledge, chaos and God absolute formlessness or chaos is an idea just as incapable of realization as absolute unity or deity every actual cognition is a product of both factors, of the sensuous organization and of reason. But these two do not play equal parts in every cognitive act.
He was a maker, creating mighty meanings under formlessness. His great shapes seem each a mystery, wrestling with a message." "I had thought there was none who equaled him in form that he was even as a sculptor in his painting." "And it was even so.
These were filled with splendid, though unsubstantial, imagery, but they were abstract in subject, and had the faults of incoherence and formlessness which make Shelley's longer poems wearisome and confusing.
Stroke is accumulated on stroke, each a triumph of imaginative beauty; but as they do not cohere to any discoverable end, the total impression is apt to be one of effort running to waste. This formlessness, this monotony of splendour, is felt even in 'Adonais' , his elegy on the death of Keats. John Keats was a very different person from Shelley.
