Time
   Thomas Carlyle: On Heroes and Hero-Worship

Science has done much for us; but it is a poor science that would hide form

us the great deep sacred infinitude of Nescience, whither we can never

penetrate, on which all science swims as a mere superficial film. This world,

after all our science and sciences,is still a miracle; wonderful,inscrutable,

magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.

That great mystery of Time, were there no other; the illimitable, silent,

never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on ,swift, silent, like

an all-embracing ocean-tide, on which we and all the universe swim like

exhalations, like apparitions which are, and then are not: this it forever

very literally a miracle; a thing to strike us dumb, for we have no word

to speak about it.
