Gravenhurst Or Thoughts on Good and Evil (Classic Reprint) by William Smith Pdf

Excerpt from Gravenhurst or Thoughts on Good and Evil And yet - I reflected within myself - Since wherever science has penetrated, disorder and confusion disappear, and a harmonious whole is presented to us, it may happen that this sense of diabolic confusion in the arena of human life would vanish before the light of a wider and clearer knowledge. We suffer there is no doubt of that - and we naturally Speak and think under the sharp pang of our present agony; but the ultimate and overruling judgment which we form of human life Should be taken from some calm, impersonal point Of View. We Should command the widest hori zon possible. Of the great whole Of humanity we see but little at a time. We pause some times on the lights only of the picture, some.

Gravenhurst, Or Thoughts on Good and Evil by William Smith Pdf

Excerpt from Gravenhurst, or Thoughts on Good and Evil: Knowing and Feeling, a Contribution to Psychology IT is quite in vain that critics and readers both con stantly repeat that the biography of a man of letters is almost always unentertaining, and that we could hardly expect it to be otherwise. Whatever it is we expect, or have any just reason for expecting, there is an incurable curiosity to know something of the man wherever the writer has succeeded in interesting us. The case stands thus: we have a living human being revealing himself to us by his thoughts, and by nothing else. Something to fill up the blank we inevitably crave. We have here an object of esteem, perhaps of some degree of veneration, and yet our hero remains obstinately invisible; even to the mind's eye utterly obscure. We desire that he take human form, and be seen moving amongst the realities of life; we desire that he stand out before us somewhat distinctly in the imagination. Other great men, the man of action, the great captain, the great statesman, write their lives in their deeds the very career which ennobles or distinguishes them is also their biography. We see them in their actions. Their lives, too, are written in the history of their country, and they hardly need a separate memo rial. With the man of letters it is otherwise. He haswritten a book, and placed it there on the desk before us. The hand that placed it there is unseen. Unless some friend will tell us, we can know nothing of the destiny of this man. He comes before us as the thinker only: he had these thoughts, but where 7 under what circumstances? He also lived, enjoyed, or suffered. It may be a commonplace story, but in this instance we must have the commonplace. These are words of your own, my beloved; and I appeal to their sanction as I prepare to write out my glimpses of your early life, my memories of the later years during which it was intertwined with mine. I am not writing for the public - a task you held un suited to a wife, requiring a more impartial judgment than her love and sorrow could exercise. I only try to write for the inner circle of friends who desire to know how you came to be what you were, and to hold the Opinions you held. I cannot, indeed, tell them much, yet there is no other who can tell them so much. For you used to say that you had let me look you through and through; and whenever you adverted, ever so lightly, to your past, I gathered up your words and stored them in my heart.

The Cloud Spinner by Michael Catchpool Pdf

Perfect for Earth Day--and all through the year. From author Michael Catchpool and illustrator Alison Jay comes a magical tale about the beauty and fragility of our natural world, and the wisdom and courage needed to protect it. One small boy has a special gift—he can weave cloth from the clouds: gold in the early morning with the rising sun, white in the afternoon, and crimson in the evening. He spins just enough cloth for a warm scarf. But when the king sees the boy's magnificent cloth, he demands cloaks and gowns galore. "It would not be wise," the boy protests. "Your majesty does not need them!" But spin he must—and soon the world around him begins to change....
