And this is blended with the echo of all former voices and their music, so that the whole Abyss is filled with their orchestration to one Symphony. 6. The Order of the Universe is the Expression of thy Rapture of Beauty. This fades away into a deep and tender tune, like nightingales beside a waterfall; and the voice comes twittering: 7.

Look at the inmost as well as the middle. Under correction, sir (politely to the doctor), I find that human beauty fades if we dissect the body. Yet your microscopist (in the first place) will find the detail of blood beautiful, just as I its banners in my lady’s face. And in the second place, does the dissection table reveal all? Is there no spirit, lovely even to me, of which my lady’s bon…

…se, and after all, when you do find a table upside down, it’s not much good pretending that you don’t notice it. And very likely, on the whole, the best way to pass over the incident pleasantly is to turn it into a kind of joke. _ And I must say that Feccles showed the tact of a perfect gentleman in avoiding any direct allusion to the circumstances that caused the circumstances that were responsible for the circumstances that gave rise to the circumstances which it was so difficult to over- look. Well, you know, this man Feccles had been a perf…

He had a very serious face, and accosted us with a military salute :— “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law,” said the little fellow stoutly, and held out his hand. “I’ve come to take you up to the Abbey.” Even Lou realised that it was quite impossible to pick up such an important little person and kiss him. We entered into the solemnity of the occasion with proper dignity, and got up and shook hands. Then, running down behind him, came an even smaller boy. “‘ Love law, love will,” he said. It was o…

…s" (pp. 71-72); there is a way of obtaining ecstasy from the most insignificant physiological function. Observe that in transferring the whole consciousness to (say) one's little finger or big toe, one is not trying to interfere with the normal exercise of its activities, but only to realize what is going on in the organism, the exquisite pleasure of a function in its normal activity.
