They are moved neither to pity nor to disgust, for the Great Pity and the Great Disgust have moved them to this Immobility. Next we see love under Christianity, as guilt, disease, weariness ; and the half-man rotten by its revolting filth, consenting to the ruin of mankind and his own death as relief from it. Lastly we see the man magically awakened to a sen…

This treasure is for thee. 16. O ! but shall hope arise in happiness ? That may not be.…
