"No, ma'am! no-thing!" and Midget actually pounded the table with her knife-handle, so emphatic was she. "You tell her, Fred," said Mrs. Maynard, smiling at her husband. "Well, Madcap Mopsy," said her father, "try to bear up under this new misfortune; your mother and I have planned a plan, and this is it.
A Lie is no-thing; you cannot of nothing make something; you make nothing at last, and lose your labor into the bargain. Yet Napoleon had a sincerity: we are to distinguish between what is superficial and what is fundamental in insincerity.
Q "What three things do away other three?" The first gate is not closed, save when his term of life cometh to an end, nor the gate of works, good and evil, till his soul ascend for judgment." Q "Tell me of a thing and a half thing and a no-thing." Q "Tell me of various kinds of hearts." "There is the whole heart, the sick heart, the contrite heart, the vowed heart and the enlightened heart.
What for should I have spoiled the bargain and hairmed the property for no-thing?" "Do you call my child's life nothing?" I said in the trouble of the moment, unable to restrain myself. "And instead of telling this all to me, you have told it to him, to a delicate boy, a child unable to sift evidence or judge for himself, a tender-hearted young creature "
Most of MYSELF I thought: when it befel That the sooth SPIRIT of the breezy wood Breath'd in mine ear "All this is very well; But much of one thing is for no-thing good." Ah! my poor heart's inexplicable swell! O! I do love thee, meek simplicity! For of thy lays, the lulling simpleness Goes to my heart, and soothes each small distress, Distress, though small, yet haply great to me!
Think of that! that if God was but to will it, we, and this earth on which we stand, and the heaven above us, and the sun that shines on us, should vanish away, and be no-where and no-thing. Think of the infinite power of God, and then think how is it possible to LIVE, except by faith in Him, by trusting to Him utterly.
The Thing, we know always, IS there; but vision of the Thing is only to be had faintly, intermittently. Dim inane twilight, with here and there a transient SPARK falling somewhither in it; you do at last, by desperate persistence, get to discern outlines, features: "The Thing cannot always have been No-thing," you reflect!
It were bad enough if the master had lost his crayon, but the loss of the blackboard would be just as fatal to the demonstration. Without darkness light would be useless universal light as blind as universal darkness. Universal thing and universal no-thing were indistinguishable. Why, then, assume the positive, the immediately affirmative, as alone the ingenious?
Buddha refused to discuss the nature of this Reality, practically holding it to be Unknowable, and in the nature of an Absolute Nothing, rather than an Absolute Something in the sense of "Thingness" as we understand the term; that is to say, it is a No-Thing, rather than a Thing consequently it is beyond thought, understanding, or even imagination all that can be said is that it IS. Buddha refused to discuss or teach of the manner in which this Unknowable came to manifest upon the Relative Plane, for he held that Man's proper study was of the World of Things, and how to escape therefrom.
And a belief in matter itself is unmentionable and inexpressible, it is neither a thing nor no-thing: and this is known even by children and ignorant persons. Now it is worth while to inquire if there be not some compensatory value attaching to this impermanency and this smallness in the national life. Nothing is more characteristic of that life than its extreme fluidity.
