It is not necessary to feed on ambrosia in order to become divine; nor shall one be accursed, though he drink of the ninefold Styx. The Israelites ate angels' food in the wilderness, and remained stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears. The white water-lily feeds on slime, and unfolds a heavenly glory. Come as the June morning comes.
It was the most thickly settled part of Greece; it abounded in cities of historic interest, of which Thebes, the capital, was the chief whose walls were built, according to the fable, to the sound of the Muses: With their ninefold symphonies There the chiming Muses throng; Stone on stone the walls arise To the choral Music-song.
Now these things are the Ennead, the Ninefold Being, which has come forth from the Father without beginning, who alone has been His own Father and His own Mother, whose Plêrôma surrounds the twelve Deeps. The First Deep is the Universal Fount, from whom all fountains have gone forth. The Second Deep is the Universal Wisdom, from whom all wisdoms have gone forth.
They are said to be ninefold, agreeably to their qualities. Exultation, satisfaction, and joy, these three qualities appertain to Goodness. Cupidity, wrath, and hatred, these three qualities are said to appertain to Passion. Lassitude, procrastination, and delusion, these three qualities appertain to darkness.
The whole neighbourhood abounds with local tales, haunted spots, and twilight superstitions; stars shoot and meteors glare oftener across the valley than in any other part of the country, and the nightmare, with her whole ninefold, seems to make it the favourite scene of her gambols.
The usurer continued to possess a determined hold over the imperious great man. He knew Audley's secret; he could reveal that secret to Harley. And the one soft and tender side of the statesman's nature the sole part of him not dipped in the ninefold Styx of practical prosaic life, which renders man so invulnerable to affection was his remorseful love for the school friend whom he still deceived.
At the time of the Revolution that province was believed to contain only one seventh of the population. In Lancashire the number of inhabitants appear to have increased ninefold, while in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Northamptonshire it has hardly doubled. Of the taxation we can speak with more confidence and precision than of the population.
"Again," said he, turning down the gas, "if the flame be reduced to a consumption of two feet per hour, its light will be equal to that of one candle only; but on raising the chimney, thus, about half an inch from the gallery or support the light is greatly increased, or by simply placing a disk on top of the chimney the light is increased ninefold; both of which effects seem to result from a diminished current of air, while at the same time there is an ample supply.

Experience has proved that, in the case of a descending parachute, if the rapidity of the descent is doubled the resistance of the air is quadrupled; if the rapidity is triple the resistance is increased ninefold; or, to speak in language of science, the resistance of the air is increased by the square of the swiftness of the body in motion.
