ROBERTSON NICOLL ERNEST RENAN An immense river of oblivion sweeps us onward into a gulf without aname. O abyss, thou art the only God! The tears of all peoples are tearsindeed ; the dreams of all wise men have in them a parcel of the truth. Allhere below is but symbol and dream. The gods pass away like men ; it wouldnot be well did they last forever. The faith which we have held ought neverto be a chain. We have done our duty by it when we have carefully wrappedit round in the purple shroud wherein the dead gods sleep. My life has been such as I desired, such as I conceived to be the best. HadI to live it over again, I should make very little change. On the other hand, Iam not much afraid of the future. I shall have my biography and my legend. —Ernest Renan. ^. Ernest Renan.
