(Amory Howe) title: The Ascent of the Soul date: None words: 46969 flesch: 71 summary: One of these is that human souls must vary, at least as much as the bodies in which they dwell. When the soul is finally awakened, when it realizes that it is indissolubly bound to a larger personality in the unseen sphere; when it finds that it is tied to other souls, and that it cannot escape from its responsibility for itself and them,--what then? keywords: awakening; body; consciousness; death; earth; environment; experience; god; growth; history; human; jesus; life; light; love; man; men; order; power; process; progress; sin; soul; spirit; strength; things; time; truth; universe; way; world cache: 16307.txt plain text: 16307.txt item: #2 of 7 id: 1636 author: Plato title: Phaedrus date: None words: 38382 flesch: 68 summary: Such is the life of the gods; but of other souls, that which follows God best and is likest to him lifts the head of the charioteer into the outer world, and is carried round in the revolution, troubled indeed by the steeds, and with difficulty beholding true being; while another only rises and falls, and sees, and again fails to see by reason of the unruliness of the steeds. If you say that the lover is more to be esteemed, because his love is thought to be greater; for he is willing to say and do what is hateful to other men, in order to please his beloved;--that, if true, is only a proof that he will prefer any future love to his present, and will injure his old love at the pleasure of the new. keywords: art; beauty; beloved; god; good; human; knowledge; life; love; lysias; man; men; mind; nature; non; phaedrus; plato; power; rhetoric; socrates; soul; speech; things; time; truth; way; world; writing cache: 1636.txt plain text: 1636.txt item: #3 of 7 id: 26893 author: Buck, J.

How far matters had gone between the young couple was only conjectured, but at the moment of Rathbone's disappearance it was generally believed that Miss Poole was about to throw over Sir William for his young rival--this was the elegant way in which men talked in the clubs and women in their drawing-rooms. His face wore a sullen and rather troubled expression, not at all the expression one would have imagined likely in a man who had been summoned to pay an afternoon call upon so famous and popular a celebrity as Sir William Gouldesbrough, F.R.S. There are some people who are eminent in science, literature, or art, and whose eminence is only appreciated by a small number of learned people and stamped by an almost unregarded official approbation. keywords: brain; charliewood; course; day; donald; door; eustace; eyes; face; girl; good; gouldesbrough; guest; guy; hand; head; house; lady; life; light; lord; love; malvin; man; marjorie; megbie; mind; moment; people; place; poole; power; rathbone; room; sir william; thing; thought; time; voice; way; william gouldesbrough; words; world cache: 40520.txt plain text: 40520.txt item: #5 of 7 id: 42968 author: Haeckel, Ernst title: The Riddle of the Universe at the close of the nineteenth century date: None words: 110916 flesch: 48 summary: He called these three great questions the indispensable postulates of practical reason, though he had already clearly shown them to have no reality whatever in the light of _pure_ reason.
