Just as when the Israelites gathered on the banks of the Red Sea, and Miriam and the maidens came out with songs and timbrels, though their hearts throbbed with joy, and music rang from their lips for national deliverance, their hymn made the whole deliverance the property of each, and each of the chorus sang, 'The Lord is my Strength and my Song, He also is become my Salvation, so we must individualise the common blessing.
Descriptions of the lady herself seem to be mere replicas of an admired and fixed type, for there is in them such a sameness of delineation, that we can only imagine that poets sang of qualities that pleased, and did not attempt to individualise.
He does not love a class a world but He loves the single souls that make it up you and me, and every one of the millions that we throw together in the vague phrase, 'the race. Let us individualise that love in our thoughts as it individualises us in its outflow and make our own the 'exceeding broad' promises, which include us, too. 'God loves me; Christ gave Himself for me.
The whole economy of the establishment is to make you as much at home as possible; to individualise you, as far as it can be done, in every department of personal comfort. You follow your own time and inclination, and eat and drink when and how you please, with others or alone. The congregate system is the exception, not the rule. It seldom ever obtains at breakfast or tea.
Again: 'That blessed clairvoyance which sees into things without opening them: that glorious licence which, having shut the door and driven the reporter from the keyhole, calls upon Truth, majestic Virgin! to get off from her pedestal and drop her academic poses. And this, of the Landlady: 'She told me her story once; it was as if a grain that had been ground and bolted had tried to individualise itself by a special narrative. 'The riotous tumult of a laugh, which, I take it, is the mob-law of the features. 'Think of the Old World that part of it which is the seat of ancient civilisation! . . . A man cannot help marching in step with his kind in the rear of such a procession. 'Young folk look on a face as a unit; children who go to school with any given little John Smith see in his name a distinctive appellation. And that exquisitely sensitive passage on the nervous outward movement and the inward tranquillity of the woods.
Never was writer more disinterested than Flaubert; and the story is that Madame Bovary brought him 300 francs in debts. A third trait, which helps not only to characterise but to individualise him, is his subordination not only of his own existence, but of life in general, to his conception of art.
Now we maintain that in the majority of cases, and especially in great battles, the special object by which the battle is individualised and bound up with the great whole is only a weak modification of that general object, or an ancillary object bound up with it, important enough to individualise the battle, but always insignificant in comparison with that general object; so that if that ancillary object alone should be obtained, only an unimportant part of the purpose of the combat is fulfilled.
So our task is to individualise this broad, universal love, and to say, in the simplicity of a glad faith, 'He loved me and gave Himself for me. The breadth is world-wide, and the whole breadth is condensed into, if I may so say, a shaft of light which may find its way through the narrowest chink of a single soul.
I suppose, dealing so much with individuals as I do, I am inclined to individualise like a woman. I think of units rather than of the mass. At this moment I have before me a patient now left suffering pain as acute as any the rack ever inflicted. How does it affect his case that centuries later such pain may be unknown?" "Of course, the individual's one and only hope is a future existence.
They were talking, laughing around him. Her VOICE yes, he had once heard that, and that he would recognise again. He strained to catch, to individualise the tone sounds that floated in a medley about him. It was useless of course every effort that he had ever made to find her had been useless.
