To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some- times his soul was wading through its subject, and you saw vigorous motion without definite result. And singular it was to see the man getting more animated and furious as he became the more obscure, — fighting desperately with the shadows of his own thoughts, — floundering amid a " sunless 228 EDWARD IRVING, AND sea " of Strange and dreamy speculation ; and, at last, con- fessing, with genuine naivete^ ^^ that he feared he had not made himself perfectly intelligible." This, however, was ...his worst manner. At other times, even if he did not keep quite clear throughout the whole course of his argument, — if now and then he dipt out of sight, he was sure to come up at the close, and, by some striking burst or figure, to add a fiery sting to the long and serpentine coil of his thought.
We remember him closing a metaphysical discussion, on the nature and attempted proof of the eternity of faith, by the following words : " But for faith, the righteous would have no security for the continuance of their heavenly joy ; — but for faith, they would stop and tremble on the streets of the New Jerusalem, lest these New Heavens should pass away, and that New Earth be melted with fervent heat." The effect was electric.
