Anne had forborne going to bed, and waited for her return, longing to see her spirit's face again before she slept; for this poor tender creature, being denied all woman's loves and joys by Fate, who had made her as she was, so lived in her sister's beauty and triumphs that 'twas as if in some far-off way she shared them, and herself experienced through them the joy of being a woman transcendently beautiful and transcendently beloved.
'Your always fancying that every one is disgusted with you, is as silly as if you imagined yourself transcendently beautiful. It is mere self-occupation, and helps to make you blunt and shy. 'Mamma, said Sophy, 'tell me one thing. Did you ever think yourself pretty? 'I have thought myself looking so, under favourable circumstances, but that's all.
His works and ways are the ways of life, Acts ii. 28. His natures, offices, sufferings, actings, all he did as Mediator, concur to the quickening and enlivening of a poor dead soul. This fulness of life which he hath, is fully suited to the believer's condition, in all points, as we shall hear. This life is eminently and transcendently in him, and exclusively of all others.
For this end I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named; that he would give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that rooted and grounded in love, ye may be strengthened to comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth and length, and height and depth; and to know the love of Christ, transcendently surpassing knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the fulness of God.
For a moment a sudden weakness and timidity overcame her. In a world so transcendently unreal had not she just seen her happiness become the very dream of a shadow? was it not the merest futility to take a step so definite, to be passionate or intense?
There had been moments of ecstasy now in a crowded street, when he recognised that God was all, that the Creator was the key to the creature's life, that a humble act of adoration was transcendently greater than the most noble natural act, that the Supernatural was the origin and end of existence there had come to him such moments in the night, in the silence of the Cathedral, when the lamp flickered, and a soundless air had breathed from the iron door of the tabernacle.
It was a vague, haunting look that always brought back the one great tragedy of his life a tragedy he was even now working night and day at his chosen profession to obliterate from his memory, lest he should be forever unmanned forever a prey to melancholy. He was still a young man, but when little more than a boy he had married, and for two years was transcendently happy.
The extent and limitation of the powers of the General Government in relation to this transcendently important interest will be settled and acknowledged to the common satisfaction of all, and every speculative scruple will be solved by a practical public blessing.
If her countenance and hair had rather a floury appearance, as though from living in some transcendently genteel Mill, it was rather because she was a chalky creation altogether, than because she mended her complexion with violet powder, or had turned grey. If her eyes had no expression, it was probably because they had nothing to express.
For our momentary light affliction worketh for us a transcendently far more exceeding eternal weight of glory; whilst we direct our aim not to the things which are seen, but to the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things that are not seen are eternal.
