What pleasures where sense lavished its uncounted varieties? What revellings where wine was the least excitement? Let the scene shift. How stirring is the change! Triumph and glitter and conquest! For thy public was a public of renown; thither came the Warriors of the Ring, the Heroes of the Cross, and thou, their patron, wert elevated on their fame! What glories didst thou witness!
His virtues walk'd their narrow round, Nor made a pause, nor left a void; And sure the eternal Master found His single talent well employed. The busy day, the peaceful night, Unfelt, uncounted, glided by; His frame was firm, his eye was bright, Though now his eightieth year was nigh.
But when I found myself amidst the vortices of uncounted, various, bewildering judgments, Catholic and Protestant, orthodox and liberal, scholarly from under the tree of knowledge and instinctive from over the potato-hill; the passionate enthusiasm of young adorers and the cool, if not cynical, estimate of hardened critics, all intersecting each other as they whirled, each around its own centre, I felt that it was indeed very difficult to keep the faculties clear and the judgment unbiassed.
The great central mass, on account of its preponderating dimensions, would still retain, for further uncounted ages, a large quantity of its primeval heat, and would thus display the splendours of a glowing sun. In this way Laplace was able to account for the remarkable phenomena presented in the movements of the bodies of the solar system.
He turned to a waiter for a glass of water. "Take to Couthon a glass of blood," said Vergniaud; "he is thirsting for it." The decree of accusation was proposed, and carried, without debate, beneath the poniards of uncounted thousands of assassins. The mob was triumphant.
"Of the time and the cause of their destruction," continued the old man, "I know nothing certain; they have stood as you have seen them for uncounted time; and while all other ships wrecked on this unhappy coast have gone to pieces, and rotted and sunk away in a few years, these two haunted hulks have neither sunk in the quicksand, nor has a single spar or board been displaced.
It was my misfortune to be deceived in my fairest beliefs, to be punished by ingratitude for benefiting others, and to receive uncounted pleasures as the reward of my errors a sinister doctrine, but a true one for the prodigal! "The contagious leprosy of Foedora's vanity had taken hold of me at last. I probed my soul, and found it cankered and rotten.
We think of 'the race' the twelve hundred millions that live to-day, and the uncounted crowds that have been, but the units in that inconceivable sum are not separate in our view. But He does not generalise so. He has a clear individualising knowledge of each; each separately has a place in His mind or heart.
His task was not one of aggression or conquest, but of salvation, and the enemy he was going to fight was an invader not of states or countries, but of a whole world, and unless the assault of this invader from the outer wilderness of Space were repelled, the result would not be merely the destruction of ships and fortresses, or the killing of a few hundreds or thousands of men on the battlefield; it would mean nothing less than a holocaust which would involve the whole human race, and the simultaneous annihilation of all that the genius of man had so laboriously accumulated during the slow, uncounted ages of his progress from the brute to the man.
It had grown strong and steady. "For better for worse." "'For better for worse." "For richer for poorer," droned the clergyman, with the weariness of uncounted repetitions. "'For richer for poorer," avowed the bridegroom, with the decisive emphasis of one to whom the words are new and significant. "In sickness and in health." "'In sickness and in health." "To love and to cherish."
