No sooner had the Chinese salesman handed me the bamboo souvenir than I dropped it on the floor, crying out, "I have bought this for my dear dead brother!" A clear realization had swept over me that his soul was just being freed in the Infinite. The souvenir was sharply and symbolically cracked by its fall; amidst sobs, I wrote on the bamboo surface: "For my beloved Ananta, now gone."
But now, when the act of expiation is to be symbolically represented, and, so far as outward sacrifice could, is to be accomplished, another actor appears. The priest comes forward as mediator between God and man, and applies the blood to the altar.
Though they are sometimes fantastic and in their incidents show little respect to the laws of probability, they are genuine and fairly represent the play of the popular imagination; while under their wild imagery they often convey symbolically a deep and true meaning, LITERARY HISTORY AND CRITICISM. Modern German literature is singularly rich in this department.
That was years ago. And yet" he fondled his gem with thumb and finger and tender glance "you're the first man I've met to whom I could sincerely and symbolically present it, and you don't want it. I'm sorry." "I see," said the big-waisted man, glaring at him. "So do I," responded the pearl's owner. A smile went round, and the company sat looking into the fire.
How, by forcing yourself to seek the object outside itself, where it certainly is not, except in echo and reflection, would you ever find its intimate and specific reality? You are but condemning yourself to symbolism, for one "thing" can only be in another symbolically.
You seem to find your happiness in defying the elements, whereas I find mine in adopting the resources of civilization to circumvent them." He smiled, pleased with his little epigram. "Which means," said Oliver, "that you're afraid to roughen your hands and spoil your complexion." "If you like to put it that way symbolically." "Symbolically be hanged!" cried Oliver, losing his temper.
Processes that show an interplay of spiritual powers are symbolically represented there. But we are at once struck with a difference. The true functional phenomenon, as I have so far described it, pictures the actual psychic state or process; the anagogic image appears on the contrary to point to a state or process that is to be experienced in the future.
There are, however, some sections of men and women in the town who, symbolically at least, have a high regard for water at any time after the years of sense and reason have been reached. These are the Baptists. There are four or five chapels set apart for their improvement in Preston, and the smartest of these is in Fishergate.
If salvation is anything real it must have its cause in some law, and if there is a law it must be founded upon some universal principle: therefore it is this principle which we must seek if we would understand this teaching of the Master's. Now whether we take the Bible story of the birth of Christ literally or symbolically, it teaches one great lesson.
Their dispositions are often sanguinary, since the forms most conspicuous among them live by rapine, and subsist on the blood of other animals. They are, in short, symbolically types of EVIL." This symbolical character is most conspicuous about the centre of the series of gradations: Kingdom . . . Annulosa. Sub-kingdom . . . Reptilia.
