II

   "...Where the inward glory lighted.
Yet the old world of love liveth still in the heart,
   As we’ve many a sweet revealing:
And its rich fossil-jewels in tears will up-start
   With the warm flood of holier feeling.
Ay, Man—tho’ he beareth the brand of Sin,
   And the flesh and the devil have bound him—
Hath a spirit within, to old Eden akin,
   Only nurture up Eden around him

O the terrors, the tortures, the miseries dark
   That have curst us, and crusht, and cankered!
Yet, aye, from the Deluge, Humanity’s Ark
   Hath on some serene Ararat anchored.
O the golden chains that link heaven to earth,
   The rusts of all time cannot sever!
Evil shall die in its own dark dearth,
   And the Good liveth on for ever.
And Man—tho’ he beareth the brand of Sin,
   And the flesh and the devil have bound him—
Hath a spirit within, to old Eden akin,
   Only nurture up Eden around him.”

“The family is the true unit of the state, and is more important than the state. The state exists for the family, not the family for the state. Property is necessary for its normal and healthy being.”

"Whatever can be the meaning of this life? If we divide mankind into two large classes, we can say that one works for a living, the other has no need to. But working for one’s living can’t be the meaning of life; to suppose that constantly procuring the conditions of life should be the answer to the question of the meaning of what they make possible is a contradiction. Usually the lives of the other class have no meaning either, beyond that of consuming the said conditions."

Eden

“There is not a rift in the blue sky now,
   Where a million tempests tore it;
There is not a furrow on Ocean’s brow,
   Tho’ a million years have past o'er it.
And for all the storms and the strifes that have rufl’d
   Down the ages grim and gory;
Earth weareth her pleasant face, as of old,
   And laughs in her morning glory.
And Man—tho’ he beareth the brand of Sin,
   And the flesh and the devil have bound him—
Hath a spirit within, to old Eden akin,
   Only nurture up Eden around him.

O the cloud may have fall'n on the human face,
   And its lordliest beauty blighted;
For love hath gone out with a dark'ning trace,..."

~RETURN TO NATURE~

“Modern man does not experience himself as a part of nature but as an outside force destined to dominate and conquer it. He even talks of a battle with nature, forgetting that, if he won the battle, he would find himself on the losing side.”
