Vietnam or Thailand ? Vote for the TOP Country of the Week !
Updated: June 2, 2025
A soul of a man, appointed for spinning cotton and making money, or, alas, for merely shooting grouse and gathering rent; to whom Eternity and Immortality, and all human Noblenesses and divine Facts that did not tell upon the stock-exchange, were meaningless fables, empty as the inarticulate wind. He will recover out of that persuasion one day, or be ground to powder, I believe!
They got Barabbas: have you well considered what a fund of purblind obduracy, of opaque flunkyism grown truculent and transcendent; what an eye for the phylacteries, and want of eye for the eternal noblenesses; sordid loyalty to the prosperous Semblances, and high-treason against the Supreme Fact, such a vote betokens in these natures?
Kenyon calls my 'immoral sympathy with power; and if Madame Dudevant is not the first female genius of any country or age, I really do not know who is. And then she has certain noblenesses granting all the evil and 'perilous stuff' noblenesses and royalnesses which make me loyal.
Whatever it was, she interested him as one of the people he would like to know; and it piqued him that there was a life, rich in friendships, no doubt, in tastes, in many noblenesses, one of thousands of such, that must be absolutely nothing to him, nothing but a window into heaven momentarily opened and then closed.
