They that spread disorder in the land, shed the blood of men, and wrongfully consume the substance of others—We, verily, are clear of them, and We beseech God not to associate Us with them, whether in this world or in the world to come, unless they should repent unto Him. He, verily, is of those who show mercy the most merciful.
Some persons wrongfully attributed to the influence of Saint-Vallier the order which detained the worthy bishop in France; on the contrary, Saint-Vallier had said one day to the minister, "It would be very hard for a bishop who has founded this church and who desires to go and die in its midst, to see himself detained in France.
"Ye're God help ye a thief!" "I'm no thief!" the boy returned hotly. "I did but give to a mon what ma feyther shame on him! wrongfully kept from him." "Wrangfully?" cried the little man, advancing with burning face. "'Twas honorably done, keepin' what wasna your'n to keep! Holdin' back his rights from a man!
What in this case, as in most others, we wrongfully call explaining is simply confronting the unexpected mystery which these horses offer us with a few phenomena which are themselves unknown, but which have been perceived longer and more frequently.
