Jesus was born, the Son of God came. Only when we hold fast by that great truth do we pierce to the centre of what was done in that poor stable, and possess the key to all the wonders of His life and death. From the manger we pass to the mountain. A life begun by such a birth cannot be ended, as I have said, by a mere ordinary death.

All this Fred knew as soon as he looked at him. "If he were wise, he would not stop at knowledge, which is, of course, unsatisfactory, but dive beyond, as I have done, into the essence of things," said Fred to himself. "If he could pierce through the veil that covers all things, he would find amusement enough to last a lifetime.

A certain reticence also, that became more and more noticeable as time went on, led her to feel that there was an invisible something growing up between them a something that the pride she possessed in such a striking degree forbade her to attempt to pierce, but which was none the less galling to her on that account.

Pierce in part for above L1000 worth of goods, Mace, Nutmegs, Cynamon, and Cloves, and he tells us we may hope to get L1500 by it, which God send! Great spoil, I hear, there hath been of the two East India ships, and that yet they will come in to the King very rich: so that I hope this journey will be worth L100 to me.

Mankind, waking from immemorial sleep, thought for the first time to perceive the sun in heaven, to greet the creating light.

Marches will be made beneath suns which by every rule of known experience ought to prove fatal to nine-tenths of those who are exposed to them, rivers will be crossed, deserts will be traversed, and mountain passes will be pierced, and the men who cross and traverse and pierce them will only marvel that doubt or distrust should ever have entered into their minds as to the feasibility of the undertaking.

Ah, protecting gods! what was true, and what but dreams? Her whole life was passing before her, phantasmagorial and unreal. Surely some one was present! She felt it. Had Iddilcar come already? The horror of the thought gave her courage, and, thrusting down the coverlid, she opened her eyes defiantly and tried to pierce the darkness.

This sword is very strong, and so sharp that it will easily pierce a boat. The White Shark is bad enough, but the Sword-Fish is even worse.
