If I give a certain share of my catch to his holiness, I may sail the Nile from the sea to the cataract. A fisherman is like a fish or a wild goose; but an earth-tiller is like a tree which nourishes lords with its fruit and can never escape but only squeaks when overseers spoil the bark on it." "Oho! ho! but look there!" cried the fisherman, pleased again.
Strife and wrangling have made him rich, and he is thankful to his benefactor, and nourishes it. If he live in a country village, he makes all his neighbours good subjects; for there shall be nothing done but what there is law for.
The broken bread proclaims, indeed, our nourishment from Jesus, but falls short of the deep and solemn truth that it is the very life-blood of Christ Himself which nourishes us and vitalises us. And the bread, in like manner, proclaims indeed the fact that we are fed on Him, but says nothing of the joy of that feeding.
Macbeth, who stood listening to them, tried to say 'Amen, when the fellow said 'God bless us! but, though he had most need of a blessing, the word stuck in his throat, and he could not pronounce it.

One of the specimen poems thus sent to London was the following song, entitled 'Woman's Love: 'O the voice of woman's love! What a bosom stirring word! Was a sweeter ever uttered, Was a dearer ever heard, Than woman's love? How it melts upon the ear! How it nourishes the heart! Cold, cold must his appear Who has never shared a part Of woman's love.
