Excerpt from The Uncommon CommonplaceReally, it is not less than phenomenal, to such as find Vital interest in fiction as an interpreter of eras and atmospheres, to see how present-day fiction has eluded riches and palaces and has invaded huts and houses of less imposing sort and has sat down to smile on simple porches and by everyday folks. I confess that it thrills me like the voice of a violin set to grief. What fiction talks of is very lik...

Excerpt from Recovered Yesterdays in LiteratureShakespeare loves men and women, though, as for loving women, what man does not? I think no man has ever loved women more than he, and I am quite sure no poet has. He has loved them so as to make many of them queens regnant for ever, and has joyed to lift them into the heaven of the heroic and leave them there. My wonder is not at this, but that he so evidently loved men, and with such tropic warm...

Excerpt from The Blessed Life: Being a Series of Meditations on Manhood and Womanhood in ChristHere is Christianity's point Of power, the individual. He is basilar. Out of individuals you can build church, society, governments, as out of stones you can build cathedrals, bridges, Cities. Christ begins at the basis of society. This looks like statesmanship, and is what it looks like. A consideration of this generic method will prove profitable. ...

Excerpt from Beside Lake BeautifulSummers, and if I set a - talking and grow garrulous, set it down not to age, but to love, for love and age are alike garrulous.

Did not Leonardo so frequently paint a smile upon the lips of those he loved to celebrate, as that this shadow of laughter has passed into the sayings of the world as the smile of Leonardo? Life's mercies will bear frequent celebrat...

Excerpt from The Prairie and the SeaI find myself touching this word Prairie. IS it in its ownright fascinative, or in the right of that far reach of emerald which suffers itself to wear the name? I remain agnostic here. In any case, the name is my delight. My lips refuse to hurry when they touch this word, but fondle it, lover-wise, lingering as loath to say good-bye, pronounc ing it Prai - rie, holding on the initial syllable as if some musi...

Excerpt from With Earth and SkyRed clover and prairie roses, civilization and primitive nature, shining and glowing together at the behest of the June wind blowing fair. I could not believe it, yet saw it. My cocksure ness about things I know, blew from me as the winds from the scented field blew on me. What I don't know seems to insist on being more aggressive and masterful than what I do know. Here was the thing that never happened, which is...

Excerpt from Modern Poets and Christian Teaching: Lowell Prayer I assume to be the highest expression of the human soul, and next to prayer is poetry. As a method of speech, then, poetry is the soul's highest form of utterance. What need, then, to suggest that poetry and the preacher are necessi tated friends? I assume that since the apostolic days preaching, as preaching, has never soared so high as in Henry Ward Beecher. There were in him a...

Excerpt from The Throne of Grace: A Volume of Personal Prayers, With a Prelude The Bible is so full of strange and mighty thoughts that a reader is fairly bewildered in the luxuriance. I have observed that a single violet gives all the wonder of innumerable violets. When I lean and brush aside those sweet green violet leaves - which no one can describe and do them justice - and, leaning close, find quite hidden till the search reveals one lon...

Excerpt from Eternity in the Heart: And Other Sermons And you must not think it strange that a child should be scared of the great water, and that a man or woman grown should be afraid of the briny, dripping hands of the great sea. And you must not think to blame these men if in their looking divine thoughts in the face, they were abashed by them, and started back affrighted, and said, He hath put the world in their heart. About the Publishe...
