I looked forward, through the present
age of loud disputes but generally weak convictions, to a future which
shall unite the best qualities of the critical with the best qualities
of the organic periods;
unchecked
liberty of thought, unbounded freedom
of individual action in all modes not hurtful to others; but also,
convictions as to what is right and wrong, useful and pernicious, deeply
engraven on the feelings by early education and general unanimity of
sentiment, and so firmly grounded in reason and in the true exigencies
of life, that they shall not, like all former and present creeds,
religious, ethical, and political, require to be periodically thrown off
and replaced by others.

The sorrows and distresses of life form another class of excitements,
which seem to be necessary, by a
peculiar
train of impressions, to
soften and humanize the heart, to awaken social sympathy, to generate
all the Christian virtues, and to afford scope for the ample exertion
of benevolence.

Malthus - An Essay on the Principle of Population |

It meant more to her to save sixpence than to earn a pound So long as she
could think of a way of docking Dorothy’s dinner of another potato, or getting
her exercise books a halfpenny a dozen cheaper, or shoving an unauthorized
half guinea on to one of the ‘good payers” bills, she was happy after her
fashion
And again, m pure, purposeless maligmty-m petty acts of spite, even when
there was nothing to be gained by them- she had a hobby of which she never
weaned She was one of those people who experience a kind of spiritual orgasm
when they manage to do somebody else a bad turn Her feud with Mr Boulger
next door-a one-sided affair, really, for poor Mr Boulger was not up to Mrs
Creevy’s fighting weight-was conducted ruthlessly, with no quarter given or
expected So keen was Mrs Creevy’s pleasure in scoring off Mr Boulger that
she was even willing to spend money on it occasionally A year ago Mr Boulger
had written to the landlord (each of them was for ever writing to the landlord,
complaining about the other’s behaviour), to say that Mrs Creevy’s kitchen
chimney smoked mto his back windows, and would she please have it
heightened two feet The very day the landlord’s letter reached her, Mrs
Creevy called in the bricklayers and had the chimney lowered two feet It cost
her thirty shillings, but it was worth it After that there had been the long
guerrilla campaign of throwing things over the garden wall during the night,
and Mrs Creevy had finally won with a
dustbinful
of wet ashes thrown on to
Mr Boulger’s bed of tulips As it happened, Mrs Creevy won a neat and
bloodless victory soon after Dorothy’s arrival Discovering by chance that the
roots of Mr Boulger’s plum tree had grown under the wall into her own
garden, she promptly injected a whole tm of weed-killer mto them and killed
the tree This was remarkable as being the only occasion when Dorothy ever
heard Mrs Creevy laugh
But Dorothy was too busy, at first, to pay much attention to Mrs Creevy and
her nasty characteristics She saw quite clearly that Mrs Creevy was an odious
woman and that her own position was virtually that of a slave, but it did not
greatly worry her Her work was too absorbing, too all-important In
comparison with it, her own comfort and even her future hardly seemed to
matter.

Whenever he does call upon the ancients, it is as a modern mystagogue and leader of orgies who always speaks from a
perspective
of inner simultaneity with the early Greek mysteries.

" What one makes of the reference to Allāh here depends on whether one assumes that Labīd composed this poem (if he is indeed its composer, and if one may speak of
original
composers at all when it comes to poems that are orally transmitted for a century or two before being written down) after or before he became a Muslim, and also what one's view is about the "paganism" that predated Islam.
