"Now this family of yours," he went on discursively "don't you notice about them and in them and behind them something tremendously unifying and propelling that is lacking in our American home?" "I certainly do," responded Gard. "I can't make it out their dynamic, conscientious industry. What is it for? It's not with the idea of making money like Americans, eager to accumulate the dollars.
How sweetly unifying in the midst of a jarring Christendom has been the spirit of Phillips Brooks! After this I saw him only once. It was at the funeral of James Russell Lowell. In Appleton Chapel he stood in his robes, gentle and powerful, as he read the burial service.
A really dominant instinct is a veritable source of psycho-physical energy, unifying and maintaining in vigour all the activities directed to its fulfilment. A young man in love is stimulated not only to emotional ardour, but also to hard work in the interests of the future home.
As might be expected, it straggles, and overlays its climax with a too-lavish abundance of incidents; it lacks the harmony of values which results from the introduction of a unifying purpose i.e., of art. Imaginative and full of action though the books of the Morte D'Arthur are, it remained for the latter-day artist to exhaust their individual incidents of their full dramatic possibilities.
At last you realize that all but one are looking at you. You are the unifying centre that brings the whole picture together, the bond without which, metaphorically speaking, it would fall to pieces. This picture of six men in plain black clothes and black hats, sitting around a table, is by some considered the culmination of Rembrandt's art.
We have a perfect right to extend our conception of memory so as to make it embrace involuntary reproductions, of sensations, ideas, perceptions, and efforts; but we find, on having done so, that we have so far enlarged her boundaries that she proves to be an ultimate and original power, the source, and at the same time the unifying bond, of our whole conscious life.
Feeling the essential solidarity of all knowledge he seeks ever for the unifying principle. He loves truth for its own sake. Every advance of knowledge is welcome to him, and he willingly sees his private edifice go to ruin for the joy of building a new and better one. Then the lecture proceeds to describe the splendid progress of the human race.
Political organization, in unifying a community under the control of a central authority, tends to efface local self-governing groups. This process is visible in the increased power of Melanesian chiefs, in the royal governments of Polynesia and Western and Eastern Africa, and in the inchoate constitutional federations of Eastern North America.
But in these earlier forms the authority of the most learned Celticists who have any literary gift and any appreciation of evidence is decisive on this point not only are the most characteristic unifying features the Graal story and the love of Lancelot and Guinevere completely wanting, but the great stroke of genius the connection of these two and the subordination of all minor legends as to the dim national hero, Arthur, with those about him is more conspicuously wanting still.
Of Continuity little needs be said, since its uses are implied in the explanation of Line; indeed, all that can be added will be expressed in its essential relation to a whole, in which alone it differs from a mere line. It will still be a line, though standing alone; but the principle of continuity may be called the unifying spirit of every line.
