Metals also may be said to have a body, a soul, and a spirit; there is a specific bodily, or material, form belonging to each metal; there is a metalline soul characteristic of this or that class of metals; there is a spirit, or inner immaterial potency, which is the very essence of all metals. The soul and spirit of man are clogged by his body.
It is the problem of the hour. "In nature every moment is new," says Emerson, and it is that sense of freshness and exhilaration that one needs in order successfully to enter into the experiences of the present hour. The world of mechanism keeps pace in the most curiously interesting way with the world of thought. Inventions came as material correspondences to the immaterial growth and demand.
Although I knew them to be immaterial and without mass or weight, I was terrified at their approach, fearing to be swept under the hoofs of the nightmares they rode. Like one in a dream, I started to run, but in another instant they were upon me, and I turned on my stream of formaldybrom. Then I was overwhelmed in a cloud-burst of wild warlike wraiths.
I don't know how they sleep o' nights, but there are men of that kind. Thank God, they are not numerous. The truth is, we are all caught in a great economic system which is heartless. The modern corporation is not engaged in business as an individual. When we deal with it, we deal with an impersonal element, an immaterial piece of society.
At its hour it found her virgin, not only to passion but to the bare idea of passion, to the inner and immaterial event. And her genius was great, not only through her stupendous imagination, but because it fed on the still more withdrawn and secret sources of her soul.
But why they were stationed there, who the Cossacks were, and whether they wanted the troops to be there, and whether they were Old Believers or not was all quite immaterial.
They cannot build a wall across the whole earth; and, even if they could, it would pass over its summit! Chains cannot bind it, for it is immaterial dungeons enclose it, for it is universal. Over the faggot and the scaffold over the bleeding bodies of its defenders which they pile against its path, it sweeps on with a noiseless but unceasing march.
The tendency of their teaching by itself was all the other way, and the Acts of John, with their completely unreal humanity of Jesus, are the natural, though no doubt unlooked-for, results of the Ephesian school. But that is not the case with Origen, and cannot be the case with any Christology or theology which really understands the doctrine of Immaterial Reality.
Whether, in the great transfer of estates, injustice had or had not been committed, was immaterial. That transfer, just or unjust, had taken place so long ago, that to reverse it would be to unfix the foundations of society. There must be a time of limitation to all rights.
His craze, his idea was there in his brain, insistent, harassing, destructive. It wasted his frame little by little. It the invisible, impalpable, intangible, immaterial idea was mining his health, drinking his blood, snuffing out his life. What a mystery was this man, being killed by an ideal! He aroused sorrow, fear and pity, this madman.
