More From Albert Pike

The leaves are falling, falling as from way off, as though far gardens withered in the skies; they are falling with denying gestures. and in the nights the heavy earth is falling from all the stars down into loneliness. we all are falling. this hand falls. and look at others: it is in them all. and yet there is one who holds this falling endlessly gently in his hands.

When i am assailed with heavy tribulations, i rush out among my pigs rather than remain alone by myself. the human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour; if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away. so the human heart, unless it be occupied with some employment, leaves space for the devil, who wriggles himself in and brings with him a whole host of evil thoughts, temptations, and tribulations, which grind out the heart.

Confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. it takes strength to acknowledge our anger, and sometimes more strength yet to curb the aggressive urges anger may bring and to channel them into nonviolent outlets. it takes strength to face our sadness and to grieve and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. it takes strength to talk about our feelings and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it.

Lf the attribute of popular government in peace is virtue, the attribute of popular government in revolution is at one and the same time virtue and terror, virtue without which terror is fatal, terror without which virtue is impotent. the terror is nothing but justice, prompt, severe, inflexible; it is thus an emanation of virtue.
