And to leave her would be to quarrel, and start a thousand vermiculate questions, as Lord Bacon calls them, for which life is too serious in my eyes. I have no time for that. 'Then you count the Church of England the Church? 'Of England, yes; of the universe, no: that is constituted just like ours, with the living working Lord for the heart of it. 'Will you take me for a member? 'No.
You may live in the hearts and upon the lips of men and women yet unborn; and should the worst come, you may figure in "The Bibliographer's Manual," with a star of honor against your name, to indicate that you are exceedingly scarce and proportionally valuable; rival collectors, with fury in their faces, will run you up to a fabulous price at the auction, and you will at last be put into free quarters for life in some shady alcove upon some lofty shelf, with unlimited rations of dust, as you glide into a vermiculate dotage.
It would then be necessary to know something about him, and the readiest question would be how he had made his money!" Alexa was silent for some time.

My life seemed only a vermiculate one, a crawling about of half-thoughts-half-feelings through the corpse of a decaying existence. The heart of being was withdrawn from me, and my life was but the vacant pericardium in which it had once throbbed out and sucked in the red fountains of life and gladness.
There is no pride so mean and all pride is absolutely, essentially mean as the pride of being holier than our fellow, except the pride of being holy. Such imagined holiness is foulness.
