I was deceived; it was but a light cloud flitting over the moon; it rolled away, and the placid and guiltless light shone over that scene of dread and blood, making more wild and chilling the eternal contrast of earth and heaven man and his Maker passion and immutability dust and immortality.
It is gratifying to think how thoroughly the modern Jews have shaken off their ancient bigotry a good refutation, by the way, of those scholars who still argue about the "immutability of race-characters."
We take the immutability of the Law as the basis of these sciences, but we do not expect the immutable Law to produce a photographic apparatus, or an electric train, without the intervention of a reasoning and selective power which specializes the fundamental general Law into particular uses.
And now again it re-arose, inspiring him with the rather recondite reflections as to the immutability of things and impressions with which this domestic record opens. Five years is a good stretch in a man's journey through the world. Many things happen to us in that time.
To believe in a special revelation, i.e., a miracle, in addition to such a revelation of God as this, which is granted to all men, and is alone necessary to salvation, is to deny the perfection of God, and to do violence to the immutability of his providence.
The radical point in the new philosophy, as it applies to the human nature in particular, is the pivot on which all turns here, here as elsewhere in the writings of this school, the distinction of 'the double self, the distinction between the particular and private nature, with its unenlightened instincts of passion, humour, will, caprice, that self which is changeful, at war with itself, self-inconsistent, and, therefore, truly, no SELF, since the true self is the principle of identity and immutability, the distinction between that 'private' nature when it is developed instinctively as 'selfishness, and that rational immutable self which is constitutionally present though latent, in all men, and one in them all; that noble special human form which embraces and reconciles in its intention, the private good with the good of that worthier whole whereof we are individually parts and members; 'this is the distinction on which all turns here. For this philosophy refuses, on philosophical grounds, to accept this low, instinctive private nature, in any dressing up of accidental power as the god of its idolatry, in place of that 'divine or angelical nature, which is the perfection of the human form, and the true sovereignty.
Let us now see whether the several facts and rules relating to the geological succession of organic beings, better accord with the common view of the immutability of species, or with that of their slow and gradual modification, through descent and natural selection. New species have appeared very slowly, one after another, both on the land and in the waters.
He had had the hardihood to explore such crypts as these, just as in the secular art he had discovered, under an enormous mass of insipid writings, a few books written by true masters. The distinctive character of this literature was the constant immutability of its ideas and language.
He aided us with opinions so fixed that neither weariness nor artifice could shake them, with a rare immutability of will, and that efficacious assistance which the creation of meritorious works always brings to a struggling cause, when it can claim them as its own.
What availed it to define the process by which individual souls emanated from the universal one, while her own soul had, singly and on its own responsibility, to decide so terrible an act of will? or to write fine words with pen and ink about the immutability of the supreme Reason, while her own reason was left there to struggle for its life amid a roaring shoreless waste of doubts and darkness?
