In Ptah of Memphis or Amon of Thebes or Ra of Heliopolis, the more educated Egyptian recognised but a name and symbol for the deity which underlay them all. Along with this growth in a spiritual conception of religion went, as was natural, a growth in scepticism.
And so his scepticism and his misery increased, until in despair of heaven, he plunged into the oblivion of an earthly passion. He went mad for a woman's beauty, for her beauty only!" Harold pressed his hand upon his brow, as if old memories stung him still. His betrothed saw it, but she felt no pain.
"Not always." The incident did not sound convincing to Mr. Brimsdown, but his face did not reveal his scepticism as he thanked Thalassa for the information. Thalassa lingered, as if he had something still on his mind. He brought it out abruptly "Has anything been seen of Miss Sisily?" "Nothing whatever, Thalassa."
I can forgive them their assumption of superiority, their inability to meet honest scepticism with anything like fairness, their continual bickering among themselves; but I cannot forgive them the harm they are doing to religion, the discredit they are bringing upon it by their bigoted views and obsolete ideas.
George Meres, a contemporary and admirer of Shakspeare, in an enumeration of his works, mentions Titus Andronicus, in the year 1598. Meres was personally acquainted with the poet, and so very intimately, that the latter read over to him his sonnets before they were printed. I cannot conceive that all the critical scepticism in the world would ever be able to get over such a testimony.
It was, really, to discharge a duty in the face of his own scepticism that he had spoken thus, and he did not expect to see another shade of sadness flit across Alba's mobile and proud face.
Not maliciously, not wilfully, not stupidly; rather the fool of circumstance. His scepticism might be traced to the joint workings of a very fine nature and a very bad education that is, education in the broad sense of the term; of course none of the means and appliances of mental culture had been wanting to him. He was an uncommonly fine example of what nature alone can do for a man.
My scepticism inclined me to the latter belief, and when she paused I said: 'I fancy that some physician could have disabused your father of his belief in visions
The Greek, in spite of his intellectual scepticism, retained an aesthetic and emotional belief in his national gods, and at any rate it was natural that he should celebrate them in his verse; but the Roman poet claimed to utilize the Greek Pantheon for artistic purposes alone. He professed no belief in the beings he depicted.
The difference, which nature has placed between one man and another, is so wide, and this difference is still so much farther widened, by education, example, and habit, that, where the opposite extremes come at once under our apprehension, there is no scepticism so scrupulous, and scarce any assurance so determined, as absolutely to deny all distinction between them.
