In a small, concentrated community like that which centred in and immediately around Arrowhead Village, every day must have its local gossip as well as its general news. The newspaper tells the small community what is going on in the great world, and the busy tongues of male and female, especially the latter, fill in with the occurrences and comments of the ever-stirring microcosm.
We must come back to the old teaching, that the Macrocosm is reproduced in the Microcosm, with the further perception that this identity of principle can only be produced by identity of cause.
There was something about this man that always charmed those who had sense enough to be discontented with the ordinary inhabitants of the Microcosm, Society. The expression of his countenance was different from that of others: there was a breathing goodness in his face an expansion of mind on his forehead. You perceived at once that he did not live among triflers, nor agitate himself with trifles.
An elephant, kneeling between two square columns; on one an eagle, on the other a vulture. At the side a boy, with bow and arrows, standing in doubt which to shoot. Below these a human face, composed of various flowers, whose roots are snakes, a poppy, forming an eye, which winks. A vision revealing the earthly drama of the microcosm.

The lighter, its equipments, and its destination were the microcosm of my infant imagination; and my ideas and thoughts being directed to so few objects, these objects were deeply impressed, and their value fully understood.

"This citadel is a microcosm of what the world might be, if men were reasonable. Not all men! A great proportion must be good enough to remain what they are. We could not live without those whose business it is to bring the reasonableness of the few into its proper relief. Were it otherwise, there would be no more reasonableness on earth, would there?" "And that would be a pity," observed Mr.

The scene where they work him up to rebellion and assassination is a compendium of the history of intolerance; as the mean little conceited city of Orbajosas is the microcosm of bigoted and reactionary Spain. I have called, or half-called, this book tendencious; but in a certain larger view it is not so.
