More From Thomas Carlyle

The mind's eye can nowhere find anything more dazzling or more dark than in man; it can fix itself upon nothing which is more awful, more complex, more mysterious, or more infinite. there is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
