THE USE OF THE PASSIONS.
The passions are in morals, what motion is in physics;
they create, preserve, and animate ; and without them,
all would be silence and death. Avarice guides men
across the deserts of the ocean; pride covers the earth
with trophies, and mausoleums and pyramids; love turns
men from their savage rudeness; ambition shakes the
very foundations of kingdoms. By the love of glory,
weak nations swell into magnitude and strength. What-
ever there is of terrible, whatever there is of beautiful
in human events, all that shakes the soul to and fro, and
is remembered while thought and flesh cling together,
—all these have their origin from the passions. As it i‘
only in storms, and when their coming waters are driven
up into the air, that we catch a sight of the depths of
the sea, it is only in the season of perturbation that w:
have a glimpse of the real internal nature of man. It
is then only that the might of those eruptions shaking
his frame, dissipate all the feeble coverings of opinion,
and rend in pieces that cobweb veil. with which ti In"
hides the feelings of the heart. It is thenoii
