Many brought their food with them and camped out. Thus the meeting, with exhortation and prayer, was continued in the night. Immense bonfires blazed illuminating the sublimities of the forest, and the assembled congregation, cut off from all the ordinary privileges of civilized life, listened devoutly to the story of a Savior's love.
There are youthful excesses in Paracelsus; some vague, rhetorical grandeurs; some self-conscious sublimities which ought to have been oblivious of self; some errors of over-emphasis; some extravagances of imagery and of expression. The wonderful passage which describes "spring-wind, as a dancing psaltress," passing over the earth, is marred by the presence of "young volcanoes"
Lady Jocelyn came to her husband's aid: 'It wouldn't do, I think, to kick him out. In the first place, he hasn't deserved it. 'Not deserved it, Emily! the commonest, low, vile, adventuring tradesman! 'In the second place, pursued her ladyship, 'it's not adviseable to do anything that will make Rose enter into the young woman's sublimities.
That this is true we have seen proved unnumbered times as lowly piety has revealed sublimities of faith and trust. Spiritual things are, and must be, spiritually discerned. And this is not so hard to understand as may appear. A life surrendered to the will of God is of all lives the most peaceful and composed. It is lived in an atmosphere of repose.
Children of the devil they were, insensible to the beauties, the sublimities, and the awful terror of God's works. But you are not heathen I now address. What is a heathen? He is one who betrays a stupid insensibility to every elevated idea and to every elevated emotion. If you wish to awaken his attention, do not bid him to look down into the Pit of Hell.
There is nothing in all this to complain of. A storm of summer has its redeeming sublimities, its slow, upheaving mountains of cloud glooming in the western horizon like new-created volcanoes, veined with fire, shattered by exploding thunders.
The last half of his life was spent in the most assiduous, minute, exacting labors. The self-watchful diary gives place to a public chronicle, prosaic as a ship's log-book and, like the log-book, the shorthand record of adventures, heroisms, and sublimities. In the Puritan of Winthrop's type the flame of spiritual emotion was harnessed and made to serve.
From our earliest days we have been taught to admire the heroes of classical story, and have followed with acclamations the conquerors of later ages, who seem to have rivalled the fame of a Themistocles or a Leonidas, and to have reacted the tragical sublimities of Salamis and Thermopylæ; but, in the present history, we see piety clad in the armour of heroism the achievements of military valour ascribed solely to the higher cause of a divine superintendence "The LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand; is not the LORD gone out before thee?"
To refute this assertion, there are his 'Wallenstein; his love poems of intensest beauty; his 'Ancient Mariner, with his touches of profoundest tenderness amidst the wildest and most bewildering terrors; his holy and sweet tale of 'Christabel, with its enchantments, and richer humanities; the depths, the sublimities, and the pensive sweetness of his 'Tragedy; the heart-dilating sentiments scattered through his 'Friend; and the stately imagery which breaks upon us at every turn of the golden paths of his metaphysical labyrinth.
