“Science has grown frightfully audacious in these days -- swift-footed, ponderous, careering over her iron ways with unslacking pace. This rampant dragon, on which I am mounted, see how he bends his once stiff neck to his rider, champing his checked bit and pawing the dust, impatient to leap around the globe. Genius is prescient, foresees its own might. Man is striving through these iron-ribbed, steam-sped hippogriffs, to recover his lost ubiquity and omnipotence, and threatens soon to grasp in his ample palm, and fix with flaming eye-ball, the elemental forces!” MenWayMightEyeLostForceBitsGeniusBallsStriveDustThese DaysNecksDragonsIronLeapPaceGlobesPalmsImpatientSteamRidersElementalsOmnipotenceAudaciousSpedUbiquityStiff Neck Book:Table-talk Source: Table-talk

“Again, after his fall, God gave him an occasion to repent and to receive mercy but he kept his stiff-neck held high. He came to him and said "Adam, Where are you?" instead of saying "What glory you have left and what dishonor you have arrived at?" After that, He asked him "Why did you sin? Why did you transgress the commandment?" By asking these questions, He wanted to give him the opportunity to say, "Forgive me." However, he did not ask for forgiveness. There was no humility, there was no repentance, but indeed the opposite.” GivingSaidWantedFallAsksOpportunityLeftSinHumilityGloryMercyOppositesAskingForgivingOccasionsNecksRepentanceAdamCommandmentsRepentForgive MeDishonorAsking For ForgivenessStiff Neck Author:Dorotheus of Gaza
