9.  “It is done! 
    Clang of bell and roar of gun! 
    Send the tidings up and down. 
      How the belfries rock and reel! 
      How the great guns, peal on peal,
    Fling the joy from town to town!”

10.  “O sacred forms, how proud you look! 
     How high you lift your heads into the sky! 
     How huge you are, how mighty and how free! 
     Ye are the things that tower, that shine; whose smile
     Makes glad—­whose frown is terrible; whose forms,
     Robed or unrobed, do all the impress wear
     Of awe divine.”

CHAPTER II.

MENTALITY.

MIND ACTIVITIES DOMINATED BY A CONSCIOUSNESS OF Reflection OR Processes OF Thought, Clearness, Definiteness.

1.  “Beyond the street a tower,—­beyond the tower a moon,—­beyond the moon a star,—­beyond the Star, what?”

* * * * *

2.  “Once more:  speak clearly, if you speak at all;
    Carve every word before you let it fall;
    Don’t, like a lecturer or dramatic star,
    Try overhard to roll the British R;
    Do put your accents in the proper spot;
    Don’t—­let me beg you—­don’t say ‘How?’ for ‘What?’
    And when you stick on conversation’s burrs,
    Don’t strew the pathway with those dreadful urs.”

* * * * *

3.  “To be, or not to be; that is the question:—­
    Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
    The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune;
    Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
    And by opposing end them?  To die:  to sleep,—­
    No more:” 

* * * * *

4.  “I should say sincerity, a deep, great, genuine sincerity, is the first characteristic of all men in any way heroic.  Not the sincerity that calls itself sincere; that is ... oftenest self-conceit mainly.  The great man’s sincerity is of the kind he cannot speak of, is not conscious of.”

5. “Brutus.  Get me a taper in my study, Lucius.

    Lucius.  I will, my lord. (Exit.)

Brutus.  It must be by his death:  and for my part, I know no cause to spurn at him, But for the general.  He would be crown’d:—­ How that might change his nature, there’s the question.  It is the bright day that brings forth the adder; And that craves wary walking.  Crown him?—­That:—­ And then, I grant, we put a sting in him, That at his will he may do danger with.”

6.  “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God.”
