Once more I summoned all my power, recalled the twist Astley had spoken of, and tried it. I bent his neck for an inch of rein.

He steered like a ship with sail reduced.
Whoever does not possess the greatest virtue and the greatest wisdom, would be melted by the red glow of his halo." So saying he gave him a pill of the elixir of life to eat, and his blind eye gradually regained its sight. It is also said that scholars wear a red halo around their heads which devils, foxes and ghosts fear when they see it. There was once a scholar who had a fox for a friend.
At the High School gate, Miss MacLauren raised her eyes again. The lowering and the blush could be counted on; the only hard part was to get them raised. She was blushing as she turned to go in, she was laughing, too, to hide the blush. And this was the Elixir of which Rosalie drank; it mounted to the brain. Intuitively, Miss MacLauren knew, if she could, she would drink of it again.
The second stage in the history of Chemistry the birth of Alchemy in the Western World occurred when the Egyptian practical receipts, the neo-Greek philosophies, and the Chinese dreams of an "elixir vitae" were fused into one by the Arab and Syriac writers.

This delighted him so much that he fairly beamed with pleasure. But even then he gave himself no rest. He took the elixir which he had made the day before into the library, and there he wrote and wrote. At noon he allowed a morsel of food to be brought to him, and ate it seated at his desk.
Man might as well start once more to discover the elixir of life and alchemy's secrets as hope to found an empire that shall not pass away. To ponder too curiously the question why a State declines is like pondering too curiously the question why a man dies. In the vicissitudes of States we are on the threshold of the same Mystery as in the vicissitudes of nature and of human life.
