"The reason's Osmond," she pregnantly remarked. "Isabel ought to make a stand," said Miss Stackpole. "I'm afraid she has changed a great deal. I told her she would." "I'm sorry to hear it; I hoped she would have her own way. Why doesn't my brother like you?" the Countess ingenuously added. "I don't know and I don't care.
And throwing up her clasped hands, she sank back insensible on the shrouded form of the dead. "When some beloved voice that was to you Both sound and sweetness, faileth suddenly, And silence against which you dare not cry, Aches round you like a strong disease and new What hope? what help? what music will undo That silence to your senses? Not friendship's sigh, Not reason's subtle count.
Will-power is demanded to banish fears and to utilize reason's dictates. But the sway of reason and the force of action are always immensely assisted by a vigorous general tone of the personal life. Now appear, in view of these considerations, FIRST LAW: The warnings of reason are based in the nature of things within us, and are universal benefactors.
"In reason?" repeated the captain of the brig. "I was waiting for that. Reason's between two people, and there's only one here. I'm the judge; I'm reason. If you want an advance you have to pay for it" he hastily corrected himself "If you want a passage in my ship, you have to pay my price," he substituted. "That's business, I believe. I don't want you; you want me."
I judge it likely, and with confidence, that Reason would prërequire for his God, a Being, at once infinitely easy to be apprehended by the lowest of His spiritual children, and infinitely difficult to be comprehended by the highest of His seraphim. Some such enigma was probable in Reason's guess at the nature of his God.
These are examples of Reason's momentary grasp of the sceptre; the exertions of a power which exists not in time or space, but an instantaneous in-streaming causing power.
Gathering up a handful of dust and scattering it in the air, he slowly and solemnly pronounced some words that sounded like a charm, the children looking on in awe-struck silence: "Let craft, ambition, spite, Be quenched in Reason's night, Till weakness turn to might, Till what is dark be light, Till what is wrong be right!"
And such a joyous company were our four youths and maidens when they went to drive that day, Emilia being left at home to rest after the fatigues of the voyage. "What beautiful horses!" was Hope's first exclamation. "What grave people!" was her second. "What though in solemn silence all Roll round " quoted Philip. "Hope is thinking," said Harry, "whether 'in reason's ear they all rejoice."
It was also hard, desperately hard, for Win to pay this tribute to Miss Rolls's unselfish interest in her moral welfare. She tried to be grateful, to feel that her late friend's sister had been brave and fine and unconventional thus to defend a strange girl against one so near. But despite reason's wise counsel, her heart was hot within her.
However, thus much shall be added, that the end of them both is friendship, in the first case with ourselves, in the second with another. No factious lusts reason's just power control, Nor kindle civil discord in his soul. His passion does not stand in defiance to his reason, nor do his reasonings cross and thwart one the other, but he is always consistent with himself.
