As has been well said of him: "Faith in God as the absolute ground of all human as well as of all natural laws; the belief that He had actually made Himself known to His creatures, and that it was possible for them to have a knowledge of Him, cleared from the phantasies and idols of their own imaginations and understandings; this was the necessary foundation of all that great man's mind and speculations, to whatever point they were tending, and however at times they might be darkened by too close a familiarity with the corruptions and meannesses of man, or too passionate an addiction to the contemplation of Nature.
Well might I fancy I had seen her in some dream of long ago! So this was the secret of it and this picture was mine. Mine to hang before my desk when I was at work mine to place at my bed's foot, where I might see it on first waking mine to worship and adore, to weave fancies and build hopes upon, and "burn out the day in idle phantasies" of passionate devotion!
His dream kept a two-days' serenity upon the ship. It came to the ear of the Admiral, who said, "'In dreams will I instruct thee. I have had dreams far statelier than his." Pedro Gutierrez too began to dream, fantastic things which he told with an idle gusto. They were of wine and gold and women, though often these were to be guessed through strange, jumbled masks and phantasies.
The old year would be rung out in a few hours, in company with our Utopian expectations. All our hopes of a rare New Year were, like our Christmas phantasies, dashed to the ground. The morrow promised to be rare enough in a melancholy sense, but it would not be New Year's Day.
Some argue that to hesitate in the middle of a course after indulging in much pomp and pageantry at the beginning will result in ridicule and derision and that the dignity of the Chief Executive will be lowered. But do they even know whether the Great President has taken the least part in connection with the phantasies of the past four months?
It was the sort of question that had to be asked brusquely, or not at all. "Yes No Yes. That is to say, I have a husband. He will probably come here for a day or two later. He is très comme il faut." "Surely you do not blame him for coming to see you." She shrugged her shoulders. "It is magnificent, but it is not life. One is not always young enough to permit oneself these phantasies.
Wells's study of man as a biological development and his preference of actual facts to sentimental conclusions are in accord with the trend of modern social science. The work of Wells covers a wide range of subjects. He has written scientific romances, blood-curdling tales, strange phantasies, prophetic Utopias, and sociological novels.
"I was ill once, about the same time, with influenza, and continually repeated in my feverish phantasies that they should take down some one who was hanged and not punish him; he could not help it. There was moonlight at that time and moreover a light burned in the room. I took this for the moon, which I could not see but wanted to see. I strove only all the time to see the moon.
Such sophistications, said Luther, are nothing but crafty and subtle inventions and contrivances to cozen and deceive people. But I like and love an honest and a well-affected mind, that seeketh after truth simply and plainly, not to go about with phantasies and cheating tricks. Whether we should preach only of God's Grace and Mercy, or not.
The glad promise had a diabolically mocking sound, the subtle perceptive faculty of my insensible being felt the falseness of the sweet announcement. Toward Elsje as she tranquilly sat by my side sewing at tiny garments and absorbed in the sweet prospect of her child, toward Elsje I could feign hopefulness and enter into her sweet phantasies but myself I could not deceive.
