In time she came even to think a little of the music-maker: that silent man to whom her own existence seemed a thing peaceful and fine in its absolute security from any form of want. She realized, through him, those other thousands in the world who had lived through lifetimes of conscious insignificance and unattainable desire, nor thought these serious evils.
My mother leaned forward and compelled him to meet direct her eyes that were friendly and clear and candid as a child's. "Mr. Flint," said she artlessly, ignoring his questions, "Mr. Flint, you've been with Armand and me quite a long time now, have you not?" "A couple of lifetimes," said he, wonderingly. "A couple of lifetimes," she mused, still holding his eyes, "is a fairly long time.
A lifetime, when it is past, is but as a moment. A moment, sometimes, is as a lifetime. Onset and repulse. Three hundred lifetimes ended in twenty minutes. Putnam hastened to Bunker Hill to gather scattering parties in the rear and urge coming reinforcements across the isthmus, where the fire from British frigates swept with fearful energy, but nothing could bring them in time.
All night long, all the long night! long as lifetimes are, measured with slow-dropping arteries that drip away living blood.

"The soul reincarnates over thousands of lessons known as lifetimes." I could not recall learning about reincarnation at Hebrew school.
No one person would be able ever to read half of the valuable material already collected bearing on these problems.

This perfection of existence is not to be reached very often; but when properly approached it may be won. The friable resolutions of the day are brought out again and recemented and chiselled anew. Surprising schemes are started and carried through to happy conclusion, lifetimes of amazement are lived in a few passing ticks.
It's no small job for all of us. There must be lifetimes of building up and lifetimes of pulling down and trying again. Hope and disappointments and much need for philosophy.... I see myself now for the little workman I am upon this tremendous undertaking. And all my life hereafter goes to serve it...." He turned his sombre eyes upon his friend. He spoke with a grim enthusiasm. "I'm a prig.
It was a picture of the world when there was no wealth at all except what one could carry hidden or guarded about with one. That sort of thing came to the Roman Empire slowly, in the course of lifetimes, but nowadays we lived in a rapider world with flimsier institutions.
It would take three lifetimes, instead of a single one, even if that reached threescore and ten, to carry out all you want to do." "Would it? Then let us hope it was not for nothing that those good folk yesterday made themselves hoarse with wishing me 'a lang life and a merry ane. And when I die but we'll not enter upon that subject.
