It is even a vapour which appeareth for a little while and then vanisheth away." I heard him moaning, as he was going out: "There'll be no shelter for her this voyage, the vogh! She'll carry the sea in with her to the Head, I'm thinking." I must keep it up I must, I must! To allow Martin's hopes and dreams to be broken in upon now would be enough to kill me outright.
Psalm cxi. 10. Prov. i. 7, and ix. 10.; that lieth most in the head, and venteth most in discourses, words, yea, and sometimes vanisheth into vain notions, but this goeth down to the heart, and lodgeth there and appeareth in the man's walk and conversation; as these two would be distinguished, so the one would not be measured by the other.
"He maketh the winds His messengers; the momentary fire, His minister;" and shall we do less than THESE? Let us do the work of men while we bear the form of them; and, as we snatch our narrow portion of time out of Eternity, snatch also our narrow inheritance of passion out of Immortality even though our lives BE as a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
At last he sat down at the table, and, opening the Bible, read as follows: "As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more." "He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more." "How true that is! How terrible and inevitable!" he thought. "Here I sit, alive, thirsting for life and joy, and read my death- warrant.
"What is our life? it is even a vapor, which appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." Rab all this time had been full awake and motionless: he came forward beside us: Ailie's hand which James had held, was hanging down, it was soaked with his tears; Rab licked it all over carefully, looked at her, and returned to his place under the table.
Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
But never, Jeanie, never more let her name be spoken between you and me She hath passed from us like the brook which vanisheth when the summer waxeth warm, as patient Job saith let her pass, and be forgotten." There was a melancholy pause which followed these expressions.
For the pupils who were under his rule learned from their good Master to despise for Christ's sake the glory of this world that vanisheth away, and that in the whirlpool of this mortal life nothing is better and holier than to spurn the enticements of the world and to fight for the Lord of Heaven.
Release yourselves from this world’s life, and at every stage long ye for non-existence; for when the ray returneth to the sun, it is wiped out, and when the drop cometh to the sea, it vanisheth, and when the true lover findeth his Beloved, he yieldeth up his soul.
It is granted; but, then, let it be remembered, that the life of man is a vapor that soon vanisheth away, and we know not who may come after him, a wise man or a fool; though the chances, before and since Solomon, have ever been in favor of the latter."
