feeling, that it is...not duration, but a state of abandonment to the
Highest, and so the sharing of His perfection,-appearing in the
farthest east and west.

appearing in the train of some wild Arabian's dream.
GSt 10.507 16 Almost I am ready to say to these
mourners [of George Stearns], Be not too proud in your grief, when you
remember...that, after all his efforts to serve men without appearing
to do so, there is hardly a man in this country worth knowing who does
not hold his name in exceptional honor.

Nat 1.4 18 Whenever a true theory appears, it will be
its own evidence.

mistake in my creation...
Tran 1.329 12 What is popularly called
Transcendentalism among us, is Idealism; Idealism as it appears in
1842.
Tran 1.355 19 We call the Beautiful the highest,
because it appears to us the golden mean, escaping the dowdiness of the
good and the heartlessness of the true.
YA 1.365 19 ...it now appears that we must estimate
the native values of this broad region to redress the balance of our
own judgments...
Hist 2.30 27 ...where [the story of
Prometheus]...exhibits him as the defier of Jove, it represents a state
of mind which readily appears wherever the doctrine of Theism is taught
in a crude, objective form...

universal necessity by which the whole appears wherever a part appears.
Comp 2.111 24 One thing [Fear] teaches, that there is

production of a new and fairer whole. This appears in works both of the
useful and fine arts...

one with art;...

indigence and frugality in nature, that she was so sparing of her fire
and so liberal of her earth that it appears to us that we lack the
affirmative principle...
Exp 3.67 5 In the street and in the newspapers, life
appears so plain a business that manly resolution and adherence to the
multiplication-table through all weathers will insure success.
Chr1 3.90 7 The purest literary talent appears at one
time great, and another time small...
Chr1 3.91 5 ...in our political elections, where this
element [character], if it appears at all, can only occur in its
coarsest form, we sufficiently understand its incomparable rate.

mind more when it appears in action to ends not so mixed.

into...countries where man... establishes a select

extraordinary native endowment anywhere appears.
Mrs1 3.123 19 The competition is transferred from war
to politics and trade, but the personal force appears readily enough in
these new arenas.
Mrs1 3.133 25 As the first thing man requires of man
is reality, so that appears in all the forms of society.
Mrs1 3.146 27 The persons who constitute the natural
aristocracy are not found in the actual aristocracy, or only on its
edge; as the chemical energy of the spectrum is found to be greatest
just outside of the spectrum. Yet that is the infirmity of the
seneschals, who do not know their sovereign when he appears.

seconded and disposed to greater conclusions than we designed.
NR 3.231 26 How wise the world appears, when the laws

give the name of education.

UGM 4.17 24 The high functions of the intellect are
so allied that some imaginative power usually appears in all eminent
minds...

monad], which enlarges to a slit, and it becomes two perfect animals.

Stockholm.
SwM 4.116 17 ...if we choose to express any natural
truth in physical... terms [says Swedenborg], and to convert these
terms only into the corresponding and spiritual terms, we

mortal would have predicted that any thing of the kind could possibly
arise...inasmuch as the one precept, considered separately from the
other, appears to have absolutely no relation to it.
SwM 4.126 10 [Swedenborg] delivers golden sayings
which express with singular beauty the ethical laws; as when he uttered
that famed sentence, that In heaven the angels are advancing

ShP 4.196 17 A great poet who appears in illiterate
times, absorbs into his sphere all the light which is any where
radiating.
ShP 4.205 4 It appears that from year to year

ShP 4.206 6 We tell the chronicle of

gossip, no ray of relation appears between it and the goddess-born;...

parts of his Memoirs...

each prates of spirit, there is no spirit, but repetition, which is

ET3 5.43 24 For the English nation, the best of them
are in the centre of all Christians, because they have interior
intellectual light. This appears conspicuously in the spiritual world.
ET4 5.63 9 The brutality of the manners in the
[English] lower class appears in the boxing, bear-baiting,
cock-fighting, love of executions...
ET5 5.93 18 ...it is [Englishmen's] commercial
advantage that whatever light appears in better method or happy
invention, breaks out in their race.
ET6 5.104 23 This vigor [of the Englishman] appears
in the incuriosity and stony neglect, each of the other.
ET12 5.203 24 On proceeding afterwards to examine his
purchase, [Bulkeley Bandinel] found the twenty deficient pages of his
Mentz Bible, in perfect order; brought them to Oxford with the rest of
his purchase, and placed them in the volume; but has too much awe for

disparagement...whenever [a man] appears, considerately to turn the
conversation to the bantling he is known to fondle.

himself in a new form of his own to the mind of the beholder.

reaction, a perpetual judgment keeps watch and ward. And this appears

to beauty which exalts the faculties of youth;...

Wherever that appears, we call it old.
PI 8.4 16 First innuendos, then broad hints, then

not only in the outline or portrait of [Shakespeare's] actors...

result and justification of the age in which it appears...

real and earnest thing in nature...excluding, when it appears, all
other considerations...
Comc 8.167 11 I have been employed, [Camper] says,

so well that everybody now appears to me narwhale, porpoise or
marsouins.

everything usually reckoned great dwarfs itself;...

miraculous to dull people.

belief [in immortality] presently appears...
Dem1 10.18 11 ...this demonic element appears most
fruitful when it shows itself as the determining characteristic in an
individual.

history of every time to furnish examples of this irregular success,
men having a force which without virtue...yet makes them prevailing. No
equal appears in the field against them.
Aris 10.33 21 I observe the inextinguishable
prejudice men have in favor of a hereditary transmission of qualities.

misfortune of this period that the cultivated mind has not the

former times learning and intellectual accomplishments had secured to
the possessor greater rank and authority.
Plu 10.305 16 ...the vigor of [Plutarch's] pen
appears in the chapter Whether the Athenians were more Warlike or
Learned, and in his attack upon Userers.
Plu 10.307 20 [Plutarch] is a pronounced idealist,
who does not hesitate to say...The Sun is the cause that all men are
ignorant of Apollo, by sense withdrawing the rational intellect from
that which is to that which appears.
LLNE 10.325 15 There are always two parties, the

Emerson's] bargain, though the sale of the place [Elm Vale] appears to
me one of the worst things for me at this time.
SlHr 10.444 1 [Samuel Hoar's] beauty was pathetic and
touching in these latest days, and, as now appears, it awakened a
certain tender fear in all who saw him, that the costly ornament of our
homes and halls and streets was speedily to be removed.
LS 11.9 7 It appears that the Jews [at Passover] ate
the lamb and the unleavened bread and drank wine after a prescribed
manner.
LS 11.12 14 It appears...in Christian history that
the disciples had very early taken advantage of these impressive words
of Christ [This do in remembrance of me.] to hold religious meetings...
LS 11.13 9 [Early Christian religious feasts] were
readily adopted by the Jewish converts...and also by the Pagan
converts, whose idolatrous worship had been made up of sacred
festivals, and who very readily abused these to gross riot, as appears
from the censures of St. Paul.
HDC 11.41 5 ...it appears from a petition of some
newcomers, in 1643, that a part [of the land in Concord] had been
divided among the first settlers without price...
HDC 11.44 16 As early as 1633, the office of townsman

LVB 11.91 10 It now appears that the government of
the United States choose to hold the Cherokees to this sham treaty...
EWI 11.101 25 From the earliest monuments it appears
that one race was victim and served the other races.

more than any other, susceptible of rapid civilization.
EWI 11.143 25 When at last in a race a new principle

society, appears a part of the connection of events...
FSLC 11.206 13 ...one thing appears certain to me, as
soon as the constitution ordains an immoral law, it ordains disunion.
ACiv 11.299 24 Our whole history appears like a last
effort of the Divine Providence in behalf of the human race;...
ACiv 11.310 19 This state-paper [Lincoln's proposal
of gradual abolition] is the more interesting that it appears to be the
President's individual act...
EPro 11.316 11 These measures [for liberty]...are
received into a sympathy so deep as to apprise us that mankind are
greater and better than we know. At such times it appears as if a new
public were created to greet the new event.
ChiE 11.474 19 ...Sir Frederic Bruce attributed to
Mr. Burlingame the merit of the happy reform in the relations of
foreign governments to China. I am quite sure that I heard from Mr.
Burlingame in New York...that the whole merit of it belonged to Sir
Frederic Bruce. It appears that the ambassadors were emulous in their
magnanimity.
FRep 11.527 21 Our institutions, of which the town is
the unit, are educational... ... The result appears in the power of
invention...
PLT 12.31 13 Each has a certain aptitude for knowing
or doing somewhat which, when it appears, is so adapted and aimed on
that, that it seems a sort of obtuseness to everything else.

appears to me the pleasure of rhetoric...
MLit 12.311 7 ...[the library of the Present Age]
vents...books...which work dubiously on society and seem to inoculate
it with a venom before any healthy result appears.
MLit 12.313 4 ...a steadfast tendency of this sort
[toward subjectiveness] appears in modern literature.
PPr 12.385 23 ...we may easily fail in expressing the
general objection [to Carlyle's Past and Present] which we feel. It
appears to us as a certain disproportion in the picture, caused by the
obtrusion of the whims of the painter.

divine life by his proper roots, he clings by some tendrils of
affection to society...but let any shock take place in society...and at
