That is from a book in which we have only 'the husks and shells of sciences, all the kernel being forced out, as the author informs us, 'by the torture and press of the method. But it was a method which saved them, notwithstanding. This is the book that contains the 'nuts, and this is the kernel that goes in that particular shell or a corner of it, 'Antiquitas seculi juventus mundi.
Complete Catalogues sent on application Rosa Mundi By Ethel M. Dell Author of "The Top of the World," "The Lamp in the Desert," "The Way of an Eagle," etc. Some of the finest stories ever written by Miss Ethel M. Dell are gathered together in this volume.
In this system of being, there is no creature so wonderful in its nature, and which so much deserves our particular attention, as man, who fills up the middle space between the animal and intellectual nature, the visible and invisible world, and is that link in the chain of being, which has been often termed the Nexus utriusque mundi.
The former cycle especially shows a certain unity resulting from its aim to represent the whole of man's life from birth to death. The same thing is noticeable in Cursor Mundi, which, with the York and Wakefield cycles, belongs to the fourteenth century. At first the actors as well as the authors of the Miracles were the priests and their chosen assistants.
Every word of the creeds had to be uttered ex animo. "It is very hard to be a good Christian." Yes; but did Dr. Gore make it harder than it need be? There was something not very unlike a heresy hunt in the diocese over which the editor of Lux Mundi ruled with a rod of iron. I remember once speaking to Dr. Winnington Ingram, Bishop of London, about the Virgin Birth.
"Sic transit gloria mundi!" he murmured, as with sad eyes he mused upon the down-tumbled columns along the facade, the overgrown entrance-way, the cracked and falling arches and architraves. "And this, they said, was builded for all time!" It was on one of these expeditions that the engineer found and pocketed unknown to Beatrice another disconcerting relic.
The Virgin in the act of suckling her Child, is a motif often since repeated when the original significance was forgotten. He holds a scroll, on which are the words Ego sum lux mundi, "I am the light of the world;" the right hand is raised in benediction. The background is flat gold, not a blue heaves with its golden stars, as in the early mosaics of the fifth and sixth centuries.
And so he had to stay. A certain professor of physics once stated the theory that the Anima Mundi, or Spirit of the World, had, as a skilful experimentalist, constructed somewhere an excellent electric machine, and from it proceed certain very mysterious wires, which pass through the lives of us all; these we do our best to creep round and avoid, but at some moment or other we must tread upon them, and then there passes a flash and a shock through our souls, suddenly altering the forms of everything within them.
Actually, Kepler's great work, Harmonices Mundi, in the last part of which he announces his third law, is entirely devoted to proving the truth of the Pythagorean doctrine that the universe is ordered according to the laws of music. This doctrine sprang from the gift of spiritual hearing still possessed by Pythagoras, by which he could perceive the harmonies of the spheres.
Guido's Salvator Mundi, Dominichino's St. John, all gazed upon him, and he felt himself thrilled with tenderness, devotion, and amazement, as in an enchanted world. When he recovered his recollection, his tears began to flow, and he remained there, heedless of the cold, sitting amidst his new-found treasures, till morning dawned.
