If I say, peradventure the darkness shall cover me, then shall my night be turned into day. Yea, the darkness is no darkness with Thee, but the night is as clear as the day, the darkness and light to Thee are both alike.
Page 62 - All living forms, whether animal or vegetable, are in reality one animal ; we and the mosses being part of the same vast person in no figurative sense, but with as much bona fide literal truth as when we say that a man's...
