Oceanus ( 'flKcavds, from wki^s, swift) is the stream of Human Life, no longer endless 18 but cut off by the fleeting years (19) in the penalty of Death (Neptune, the Avenger). Tethys (Sorrow) is wedded to Life in both man and woman. Then follow the Partners in the allotment of Time: Nereus the -hoary-headed Past wrinkled with the brood of Sorrows '(the fifty Nereids) he has begotten; the elusive Present ((changeful Proteus, shepherd of Neptune's flocks, the clouds) the portentous Future repres...ented in the race by scaly Triton the unfeeling trumpeter of calamities such as War, Famine and Pestilence, in- the individual by Glaucus yAav^, the owl) the ominous monitor of per- sonal misfortune and loss ; then three alleviators of hu- man suffering found in succession by St. Peter along the sea (Acts VI. and X.). Leucothea, the white-goddess, is Charity in the person of Dorcas who clothed the poor at Joppa; her spiritual son (Portunus) is Hospitality in the person of "Simon the tanner" who entertained the Apostle in his house by the sea-side; Thetis actuated Cornelius the centurion at Caesarea when his conduct il- lustrated the fundamental precept of Justice that like "God is no respector of persons."
