Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays and Addresses: Religious, Literary and Social A great soul, like a mountain lake, appears at first solitary in its individual existence as it lies alone in all its beauty of depth and color, reflecting the distant sky above it. But, with the lake, from dwelling with it and growing daily familiar with its many phases, we find that it is in the mountains which surround it that its life gets its source, and that it is from reflecting them also and sympathizing with their changeful experiences, and furnishing a pathway from one to other of them that its beauty and its value are gained. So in its capacity both to receive and to contribute to the life about it lies the secret power of attraction which we feel in such a soul. This book is a loving attempt to exemplify this truth in the case of one who, while wonderfully beautiful and grand in his own sublime and solitary self in communion with things above, yet was the embodiment, of human sympathy, who lived not only for the life of mankind, but in and by that life also, drawing his own ever-fresh life from it, reflecting its joys and sorrows in his own clear depths, and bringing each part of it closer to every other by his many-sidedness and breadth which touched and watered all.
