Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bible of Reason: Being Additions to Part II.; Or, Scriptures of Modern Authors 1. The things that are natural are the things that are eternal in their kinds; nature never dies. "When will the stream be aweary of flowing; When will the wind be aweary of blowing; When will the clouds be aweary of fleeting; When will the heart be aweary of beating; And nature die? Never, oh! never, - nothing will die. The stream flows, The wind blows, The cloud fleets, The heart beats, Nothing will die." 2. The lapse of time has no effect to wear out or destroy the machinery of the universe. ´By ceaseless action all that is, subsists; Constant rotation of the unwearied wheel: Its own revolvency upholds the world.´ 3. The complexional features of the race are fixed and unchangeable: the eternal image of nature cannot possibly be effaced. 4. Change is the universal attribute of nature, i. e. the expiration and renewal of every individual: life is but a span that divides the antenatal and posthumous eternities. "Individuals die. Clearly the blue river chimes in its flowing; Warmly and broadly the south winds are blowing; One after another the white clouds are fleeting; Every heart this gay morning in joyance is beating Full merrily: Yet all things must die. The stream will cease to flow, The wind will cease to blow, The clouds will cease to fleet, The heart will cease to beat; For all things must die." "The kingdoms of the world have passed away, And its strong empires mouldered into dust, Swift as the changes of a poet´s dream; And kings, and heroes, and the mighty minds Whose hopes circled eternity, and seized The stars as their inheritance, and grew Too big for mortal frames - until they sank Into the narrow hounds of nature - or, if left, Of power, of life, of motion, all bereft!"
