The sorrow and the beauty, the hopelessness and the consolation, mingle and merge into a kind of joy which has its poignancy, indeed, but which is far too passive and penitential to contain the louder and sublimer of our tragic moods. In these there is a wholeness, a strength, and a rapture, which still demands an explanation.
"Everlasting Jew." Der ewige Jude which is the common German expression for "The Wandering Jew," and sublimer even than our own. First Epistle to Corinthians, chap. xv., beginning at ver. 20. This beautiful expression, I am pretty certain, must belong to Mrs.
"On reflection," said he, gravely, "I was mistaken; this is clearly the fault of Society. Let us pray for Society." They knelt down and prayed for Society. The effect was sublimer yet. What do you think of that? You, I mean. Everybody remembers the story of the Bishop and Mother Nez Retrousse. Old Mother Nez Retrouse sold asparagus.
To him, at least, she was one of those rare and dauntless women, the red stars of history, by whom the Dantes and Leonardos are fired to express the inexpressible, and common clay is fused and made mad: one of those women who, the more they reveal, become the more inscrutable.

I think no truer, sublimer definition has ever been given in the world's history, in any language, in any clime, than that given by the Master himself when standing by the side of Jacob's well, to the Samaritan woman he said, God is Spirit; and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
I knew its meaning and exulted, as the poet or the musician must always exult when some idea sublimer than any which he has ever known is wafted over his upturned spiritual gaze. She shared my exaltation. There came over her face swiftly, like the lightning flash, an expression of surprise and joy.
Not by expanding mental-healing, but by absorbing its small bulk into the vaster bulk of Christian Science Divine Science, The Holy Ghost, the Comforter which was a quite different and sublimer force, and one which had long lain dormant and unemployed.
