Perhaps all the wonders I seemed to see, even the Road by which souls travel from There to Here and from Here to There, and the Gates that were burned away, and the City of the Mansions that descended, were but signs and symbols of mysteries which as yet we cannot grasp or understand.
The coloring, tinting and banding of onyx seem generally to be regarded as one of the unexplainable mysteries of nature, but is in reality an extremely simple process that can be easily studied in any active cave.
The sylph kept his word, and with what success, what enthusiasm! It is easier to tell you of the reception he got, the transport he excited, than to describe, analyse, divulge, the mysteries of an execution which was nothing analogous in our terrestrial regions.
They therefore invented a new one, to which they gave the name of "Moralities," and which differed little from the mysteries, except in name. They were borrowed from the Parables, or the historical parts of the Bible, or they were purely allegorical. To the Clerks of the Revels we also owe the invention of modern comedy.
The mysteries of navigation soon ceased to be mysterious to him, and seven years of active sea experience had taught him all that there was to learn in the way of handling a crew and training it to work together in such a manner that its efforts might be employed to the best advantage.
And the answer is, The active art Lombardic, rejoices in hunting and fighting; the contemplative art Byzantine, contemplates the mysteries of the Christian faith. And at first, on such answer, one would be apt at once to conclude All grossness must be in the Lombard; all good in the Byzantine. But again we should be wrong, and extremely wrong.
There is no question of the intense reality of the experience. That was as vivid as anything that ever occurred to any saint in the calendar. Still, no one will dream of claiming that the way to get en rapport with the higher mysteries is by way of a dose of chloroform. The distinction here is that Symonds knew and described the cause of his experience.
Renney, as with every one else, Fleda was held in highest regard always welcome to her premises, and to those mysteries of her trade which were sacred from other intrusion. Fleda's natural inquisitiveness carried her often to the housekeeper's room, and made her there the same curious and careful observer that she had been in the library or at the Louvre.
Something in her attitude, and the significant smile on her face, made the squire both angry and uneasy. "Speak out, child," he said. "You know I hate mysteries." "But I can't speak out," said Fluff. "The time to speak out hasn't come I can only guess. Squire, I'm so glad I really do think that Frances is in love with Philip." "You really do?" said the squire.
But in answer to this, we might fairly apply the saying of Euripides. To speak of mysteries the chief of these Surely were cowardice in Hercules. For it is much the same thing to reproach Hercules for cowardice, and to accuse Cato of covetousness; though otherwise, whether he did altogether right in this marriage, might be disputed.
