The Christian beholds God in everything, and everything in God. Thus it comes to pass that his supreme love his love to God intensifies, ennobles, and hallows every other.
As the national temperament, proud, cunning, intriguing, revengeful, intensifies these complications, the result is that great care must be taken as to where one puts his foot among the snares that are spread from one end of the island to the other.
Opium takes a man's mind where it finds it, and lifts it en masse on to a far higher platform of existence, the faculties all retaining their former relative positions that is, taking the mind as it is, it intensifies and exalts all its capacities of thought and susceptibilities of emotion.

The reason must be assisted by the imagination, before the mind can revel in the glories of Gothic architecture. Imagination intensifies all our pleasures, even those of sense; and without imagination yea, a memory stored with the pious deeds of saints and martyrs in bygone ages a Gothic cathedral is as much a sealed book as Wordsworth is to Taine.
It is a figure of speech and intensifies the affirmative with its irony. 'This a consul? No. 'Give me that man that is not passion's slave. Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice, And could of men distinguish her election, She hath seal'd thee for herself: for thou hast been As one, in suffering all, that suffers nothing.
