If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

The bow of god's wrath is bent, and his arrows made ready upon the string. justice points the arrow at your heart and strings the bow. it is nothing but the mere pleasure of god (and that of an angry god without any promise or obligation at all) that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood.

It is a grand old name, that of gentleman, and has been recognized as a rank and power in all stages of society. to possess this character is a dignity of itself, commanding the instinctive homage of every generous mind, and those who will not bow to titular rank will yet do homage to the gentleman. his qualities depend not upon fashion or manners, but upon moral worth; not on personal possessions, but on personal qualities.
