They may wait awhile ... perhaps a generation or two ... dropping off by degrees. A superior breed shall take their place ... the gangs of kosmos and prophets en masse shall take their place. A new order shall arise and they shall be the priests of man, and every man shall be his own priest. The churches built under their umbrage shall be the churches of men and women.
"Marvellous!" he repeated, looking up at me. "Look! The beauty but that is nothing look at the accuracy, the harmony. And so fragile! And so strong! And so exact! This is Nature the balance of colossal forces. Every star is so and every blade of grass stands so and the mighty Kosmos il perfect equilibrium produces this. This wonder; this masterpiece of Nature the great artist."
We exclude from deliberation things Eternal, like the Kosmos, or the incommensurability of the side and the diagonal of a square; also things mutable, that are regulated by necessity, by nature, or by chance; things out of our power; also final ends of action, for we deliberate only about the means to ends. The deliberative process is compared to the investigation of a geometrical problem.
'All things work together. They are an ordered whole a kosmos, not a chaos. Modern science is slowly establishing by experiment the truth which is enshrined in that old name, 'the Lord of hosts, that all things in the physical universe are a unity. It speaks of the perfectness of God's knowledge of each item in the mighty whole.
Krause's article on Dr. Erasmus Darwin, as translated by Mr. W. S. Dallas? I have before me the last February number of Kosmos, which appears by your preface to be the one from which Mr. Dallas has translated, but his translation contains long and important passages which are not in the February number of Kosmos, while many passages in the original article are omitted in the translation.
A man is fed, not that he may be fed, but that he may work. A NOBLER want of man is served by nature, namely, the love of Beauty. The ancient Greeks called the world kosmos, beauty.
He has been laughed at for calling himself a "Kosmos," but evidently he uses the term to indicate this elemental, dynamic character of his work, its escape from indoor, artificial standards, its aspiration after the "amplitude of the earth, and the coarseness and sexuality of the earth, and the great charity of the earth, and the equilibrium also."
I have placed on your table one of the earliest existing engravings by a Florentine hand, representing the conception which the national mind formed of this spirit of order and tranquillity, "Cosmico," or the Equity of Kosmos, not by senseless attraction, but by spiritual thought and law.
Krause's work had undergone, but it was expressly and particularly declared in the preface that the English translation was an accurate version of what appeared in the February number of Kosmos, and no less expressly and particularly stated that my book was published subsequently to this. Both these statements are untrue; they are in Mr. Darwin's favour and prejudicial to myself.
To verify this, one need only glance over the various numbers of the "Kosmos," the periodical, which Haeckel and his associates established for that very purpose and which continued to publish good and bad indiscriminately until some time in the eighties when lack of interest compelled its discontinuance.
