Fortune favoured me, and we met in the woodland, and I saw that she was still beautiful and knew that I loved her more than ever before. I gave her choice to fly with me or to die, and after a while she died. But as she shrank up the wooded hillside before my sword, of a sudden she stood still and said: "Listen before you smite, Juan. I have a death vision.
"I do not care about fine distinctions," I broke out. "I will tell you broadly what I feel. I am only human. I am covetous. I would have good things for my country. If I am obliged, I would snatch them and filch them. I have anger. I would be angry for my country's sake. If necessary, I would smite and slay to avenge her insults.
"Therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities." The Bible, as I have said before, is an anti-Semitic book. "Israel is the villain, not the hero, of his own story." Alone among epics, it is out for truth, not high heroics. To flout the Pharisees was not reserved for Jesus. "Behold, ye fast for strife and contention," said Isaiah, "and to smite with the fist of wickedness."
The Stoics, that the air is not composed of small fragments, but is a continued body and nowhere admits a vacuum; and being struck with the air, it is infinitely moved in waves and in right circles, until it fill that air which surrounds it; as we see in a fish-pool which we smite by a falling stone cast upon it; yet the air is moved spherically, the water orbicularly.
Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer. Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.
And more!" she rose, and stood a moment with a divine strange light kindling in her face, then her words burst forth as in a flood "I warn you now that before seven years a disaster will smite the English, oh, many fold greater than the fall of Orleans! and " "Silence! Sit down!" " and then, soon after, they will lose all France!" Now consider these things. The French armies no longer existed.
He was a waif tossed about in the chaos of eternity, with no power to smite the man whose crime had perhaps been greater than the thrusting of two lives from existence a few years before their time. He was as powerless as the invisible beggar who floated at his side.
'I come and smite the earth with a curse' sounds strangely unlike 'The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. And, of course, in this generation there is a strong tendency to dwell upon that contrast and to exaggerate it, and to assert that the more recent has antiquated the more ancient, and that now the day when we have to think of and to dread the curse that smites the earth is past, 'because the true Light now shineth.
I have sailed the salt seas, brother, since I was no higher than the Triton's taffrel east, west, north, and south, as the saying is Blacks, Indians, Moors, Morattos, and Seapoys; but, smite my timbers! such a man of war "
