There dwells “the worm that dieth not and the fire that is not quenched”;1 that is, “the secret serpent coiled about to spring” and “the flame that burns in every heart of man”— Hadit. In other words, we take up arms against falsehood; we cannot help it if that falsehood forces the King it has imprisoned to assent to its edicts, even to believe that his interests are those of his oppressor, and to fear Truth as once Jehovah did the Serpent. 1 [Mark 9:44, …

She gave him a thousand opportunities; she fought to turn his words to serious things. He baffled her with his shallow smile and ready tongue, that twisted all topics to triviality.
