'As the vulture stirreth up his nest, that is the Old Testament revelation of the terribleness and gentleness of Jehovah. 'How often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wing? that is the New Testament modification of the image. But you never could have had the New unless you first had had the Old.
'My decease ... an entrance. So the terribleness and mystery dwindled down into this a change of position; or if locality is scarcely the right class of ideas to apply to spirits detached from the body a change of condition. That is all. We do not need to insist upon the notion of change of place. For, as I say, we get into a fog when we try to associate place with pure spiritual existence.
As stated, the detective was perfectly cool, but he realized his position in all its terribleness, and more fully, when one of the men said: "Now, then, stranger, give an account of yourself." "I tell you I came here to see Betsy Pearce." "You were not at this cabin before to-night." "I was not." "Where do you hail from?" "That's my business." "That means you won't tell" "Yes."

His presence was always with her in the laboratory. The days brought a very clear picture of Karl at work there, a new understanding of his adjustment to his work, firmer comprehension of his love for it. Often a sense of the terribleness and wrongness of his disaster would rush over her, crowding her heart with the old rebellion and bitterness.

For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.
It was not in the ingratiating tone of the habitual beggar: it had come out of the depths of the poor creature's sorrow, vibrating with pity for their youth and despair at the terribleness of human life; it had the anguish of a voice of prophecy. Until she spoke, Bartley had not realized that he was in love.
He looked into the man's face, and studied his countenance a moment; noted the breadth of brow, the large, deep-set eyes, the fine curvature of the chin and cheek; saw the beauty and splendor of it; saw what some might not have seen, both the beauty of its peaceful mood and the terribleness of the wrath that might surge out of it, saw all this, and without answering the question, said simply,
