Ephesians 3:20
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”
1 John 5:12
“He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”
"a recent hue and cry for wider teaching of English"~~~L. M. Kable
"The old footpath...winds inland here, hugging a gentler slope"~~~Oliver Statler
"The charm of friendship is liberty."~~~Gibbon
"Compare a piece of Thomas Browne and Dryden. Here is the Browne, full of metaphor and allusion - an almost Shakespearean richness of language : 'Though Somnus in Homer be sent to rouse Agamemnon, I find no such effects in these drowsy approaches to sleep. To keep our eyes open longer were but to act our antipodes. The huntsmen are up in America, and they are already past their first sleep in Persia.' And here is the Dryden : If by the people you understand the multitude; 'tis no matter what they think; they are sometimes in the right, sometimes in the wrong: their judgment is a mere lottery.' Perfectly good sense, but the verbal magic, the incantation, of the Thomas Browne is on a higher plane. Still we must allow that what Dryden himself called 'the other harmony of prose' was a civilising force."~~~Kenneth Clark: CIVILISATION. Ch 8 The Light of Experience
"Yet in the context of civilisation they really have a meaning. They mean that a group of individuals can come together and take corporate responsibility; that they can afford to do so because they have some leisure; and that they have some leisure because they have money in the bank. This is the society which you see in the portrait groups. They might be of meetings of local government committees or hospital governors today. They represent the practical, social application of the philosophy that things must be made to work."~~~Kenneth Clark: CIVILISATION. Ch 8 The Light of Experience
Henry Hudson
One of many speculative portraits.
“Although
Henry Hudson himself was gone, his bay, his strait and his river
remained as monuments to his life.”~~~Virginia S. Eifert
