But the same impersonal passivity must also make Anima Mundi receptive likewise to lesser and more individualized modes of Personality, and it becomes, so to say, fecundated by the ideas thus impressed upon it. In every case "the word is the seed."
Rosa Mundi is going to be married. No, she is not giving up her career or anything except her freedom. Her old lover has come back to her. She is going to marry him now. He wants her for his wife." "Ah!" It was the man who was eager now. He spoke impulsively. "She will be happy then? She loves him?" Rosemary looked at him with her clear, unfaltering eyes. "Oh, no," she said.
What! is this he? this raucous, pushing, red-haired, huge-handed, green-necktied vulgarian who has made his pile bricklaying in Chicago; this ward-politician; this Well, well; Sic transit gloria mundi! And the Roman cad of the second century B.C. was worse than a thousand Kellys. He had learned vice from past-masters in the Levant; and added to their lessons a native brutality of his own.
The arbitium mundi claimed and most certainly exercised by England is maintained by the British fleet, and until that power is effectively challenged and held in check it is idle to talk of European influence outside of certain narrow continental limits. The power of the British fleet can never be permanently restrained until Ireland is restored to Europe.
The artist should take this hint, and organize geometry into a new ornamental mode; by so doing he will prove himself to be in relation to the anima mundi. It is only by the establishment of such a relation that new beauty comes to birth in the world. Ornament in its primitive manifestations is geometrical rather than naturalistic.
They were his young days beautiful and wicked days of clear, rich tints, and sanguine throbbings, and gloria mundi when we fancy the spirit perfect, and the body needs no redemption when, fresh from the fountains of life, death is but a dream, and we walk the earth like heathen gods and goddesses, in celestial egotism and beauty. Oh, fair youth! gone for ever.
Augustine Birrell, in his Miscellanies, quotes a passage from "Lux Mundi"; and although I cannot find it in that book, it is too good to lose: If this be the relation of faith to reason, we see the explanation of what seems at first sight to the philosopher to be the most irritating and hypocritical characteristic of faith. It is always shifting its intellectual defences.
A moment longer he meditated and then he said with much solemnity: "My son, have you no declaration to make?" "Yes, sir," said M. Abbe Coignard, with a firm voice, "I forgive my murderer." Then the priest gave him the holy wafer: "Ecce Agnus Dei, qui tollit peccata mundi." My good master replied with a sigh: "May I speak to my Lord, I who am naught but dust and ashes?
Again the voice: For they're hangin' Danny Deever; You can hear the death march play, And they're ta ta ta da They're taking him away, Ta da ta ta The captain was on the rocks. Sic transit gloria mundi. Or how saith the poet, "The lion and the lizard keep the courts where Jamshid gloried and drank deep." Bust, was the captain. "Dying, Egypt, dying, ebbs the crimson life blood fast."
"It is woman who is the glory of man," says the author of 'The House of Wisdom and Love, "Regina mundi, greater, because so far the less; and man is her head, but only as he serves his queen." Set this sober aphorism against the school girl love-making which kisses a man's feet and gaily refuses him the barren honour of having loved her first.
