	Man and His Gods (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It may be that early man made many things with his hands which, because of their destructible nature, have not survived, but it is doubtful if he did anything that required a higher type of cerebration than does the preparation of fine flint instruments.
		Flowers blossomed in profusion: roses, jasmine, narcissi, lilies, oleanders, the Egyptian privet (said to be the flower of paradise because the dye henna, made from its stalks and leaves, was red, the life-giving color).
		Thoth, who was represented as an ibis-headed man or a dog-headed baboon, was, as Ptah's 'spoken word,' the orderer of the cosmos, the personification of wisdom, the inventor of language, letters and numbers, astronomy, architecture, medicine, indeed of all knowledge.

	The Man With the Flower in His Mouth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Man With the Flower in His Mouth is a play by the Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello.
		The dialogue takes place in a bar, late at night, between a man who is dying of an epithelioma ("il fiore in bocca") and a peaceful businessman who has missed his train.
		The ecceptionality of the moment, for the man who feels death upon him--to use Pirandello's phrase--and the normality of it, for the one who is absorbed in the usual affairs of life with its small daily commitments, mark the two ends of the dialectic which is animated in the grand soliloquy of the protagonist.

	Man in search of his soul during fifty thousand years and How he found it - by Gerald Massey
		Primitive man was not a theorist or dealer in Ideal notions, not the kind of man to whom Ideas are Realities, but a stubborn positivist, limited as a limpet, and holding on as hard and fast to the hard rock of his facts.
		Primitive man must have had a long, hard wrestle for supremacy before he could have mesmerised and mastered his old subtle enemy, the serpent, or charmed his charmer, as he learned to do at last, when he became the serpent-charmer, which he ultimately did.
		So Balaam, the man who saw in vision, that is, in the trance condition, is described as the man whose eyes were opened; the Seer who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling in trance, having his eyes opened.

	And They Called His Name Immanuel
		Man takes the discounting even farther in every case to date; the texts are banned, taken out of circulation with the help of pastors, the police, authorities, courts and those in power.
		Honor, by the man of earth, is due unto God, for behold, He is the true originator of the white (lighted) generations of people on earth and to Him honor should be given.
		Were man to come to balance and partake of the "pests" which abound, ye would not be plagued by famine and starvation —ponder it, brethren.

	Man and His Gods
		These words, however, had unusual meanings, for both a man's name and his shadow enjoyed to a certain degree an independent existence of their own, while a man's name not only possessed magic power but was vulnerable in that the owner could be injured by magic operations upon it.
		The walls of the kingdom had to be defended against the partisans of Set, the canals and dykes had to be maintained, the ground had to be tilled and grain had to be sowed, reaped and garnered.
		He is silently eloquent of man's rebellion against death, and of his theory that by amulets and incantations he can avoid personal annihilation and achieve a blessed immortality.

	Ingersoll Biography: Chapter XI
		If a man could make a stone, falling in the air, pass through a space of ten feet the first second, twenty-five feet the second second, and five feet the third second, that would be a miracle in physics.
		Suppose a man came into this city and should meet a funeral procession, and say, 'Who is dead?' and they should reply, 'The son of a widow; her only support.' Suppose he should say to the procession, 'Halt!' and to the undertaker, 'Take out the coffin, unscrew that lid.
		Young man, I say unto thee, arise!' and the dead should step from the coffin and in a moment afterward hold his mother in his arms.

	His By Grace--"Free Will - A Slave"
		There never was a man who came to Christ for eternal life, for legal life, for spiritual life, who had not already received it, in some sense, and it was manifested to him that he had received it soon after he came.
		If a man talks very slowly, he may speak in a fine manner; but when he comes to talk fast, the old brogue of his country, where he was born, slips out.
		By nature man conceives that he does not need Christ; he thinks that he has a robe of righteousness of his own, that he is well dressed, that he is not naked, that he needs not Christ's blood to wash him, that he is not fl or crimson, and needs no grace to purify him.

	Some Consequences of Four Incapacities
		For, if a man were to commit a fallacy not of either of these classes, he would, from true premisses conceived with perfect distinctness, without being led astray by any prejudice or other judgment serving as a rule of inference, draw a conclusion which had really not the least relevancy.
		It is hard for man to understand this, because he persists in identifying himself with his will, his power over the animal organism, with brute force.
		The individual man, since his separate existence is manifested only by ignorance and error, so far as he is anything apart from his fellows, and from what he and they are to be, is only a negation.

	Chapter Chapter 1 of Kim by Rudyard Kipling
		The horse-trader, curiously enough, had left his door unlocked, and his men were busy celebrating their return to India with a whole sheep of Mahbub's bounty.
		A sleek young gentleman from Delhi, armed with a bunch of keys which the Flower had unshackled from the senseless one's belt, went through every single box, bundle, mat, and saddle- bag in Mahbub's possession even more systematically than the Flower and the pundit were searching the owner.
		`And I think,' said the Flower scornfully an hour later, one rounded elbow on the snoring carcass, `that he is no more than a pig of an Afghan horse-dealer, with no thought except women and horses.

	Ingersoll Biography: Chapter XVIII
		So absolute was his devotion to the ideal; so keen, and yet so profound, his sense of symmetry, proportion, harmony, that he clothed his thoughts in the noblest garb, shrinking from the inapposite, the inelegant, as surely as the magnet repels a scrap of lead.
		The forehead, the eyes, the nose, of the thinker are also those of the artist and philanthropist; the mouth and chin of the intellectual gladiator are also the mouth and chin of the poet, -- almost of the mother.
		And you feel that, after all, man's melancholy martyrdom was not in vain; that the race has possibilities; that its future is radiant with hope.

	Hawthorne and His Mosses
		It is curious, how a man may travel along a country road, and yet miss the grandest, or sweetest of prospects, by reason of an intervening hedge, so like all other hedges, as in no way to hint of the wide landscape beyond.
		Through the mouths of the dark characters of Hamlet, Timon, Lear, and Iago, he craftily says, or sometimes insinuates the things, which we feel to be so terrifically true, that it were all but madness for any good man, in his own proper character, to utter, or even hint of them.
		No man can read a fine author, and relish him to his very bones, while he reads, without subsequently fancying to himself some ideal image of the man and his mind.

		The man walking with the lady was no other than the eminent Prince Borodino, who was at least as famous as a distinguished diplomatist ought to be, in the interests of what is called secret diplomacy.
		Of the two men walking behind one was also bald, but in a more partial and also a more premature fashion, for his drooping mustache was still yellow, and if his eyes were somewhat heavy it was with languor and not with age.
		He was a brown skeleton of a man with dark, deep, sunken eyes and a fl mustache that hid the meaning of his mouth.

		The great spokesperson for American imperialism, ironically, was the British writer Rudyard Kipling, whose "The White Man's Burden" appeared in February 1899, just as the newly founded Philippine Republic declared war upon the United States.
		It is called "The White Man's Burden." With the permission of Senators I will read a stanza, and I beg Senators to listen to it, for it is well worth their attention.
		We of the South have borne this white man's burden of a colored race in our midst since their emancipation and before.

		The older man must act a part: excoriate Chee-Chee before a certain attractive young lady, and buy from her— at a discount— certain I.O.U.s Chee-Chee gave her.
		This man with the red flower accosts a traveler in a train station with seemingly harmless intent.

	The Azrael Project Online-Personifications of Death
		Although this passage may seem overly ominous, it typifies man's personal interaction with a personified Death, particularly in the pantheon we are discussing, so heavily influenced by religious fear and the dominance of their God.
		According to this tale, God made man to be immortal and kept a close watch on Death who was always trying to pick quarrels with men and provoke them to a fight which He knew He would win.
		Dion Fortune stated an excellent observation on modern mans view of Death in her 1942 book, Through the Gates of Death; "We must get out of the way of thinking that death is the ultimate tragedy...It is only the man sunk in matter who calls the Angel of Death the great enemy.

		In the light of the great day of God, if any man stumble not in word, the same is a perfect man. This is the full-grown man, who has attained maturity, who has reached unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.
		Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks: out of a heart that is perfect towards God, in which the love of God is shed abroad, in which Christ dwells, the tongue will bring forth words of truth and uprightness, of love and gentleness, full of beauty and of blessing.
		When we consider the wondrous perfection there is in the sun, in the laws it obeys, and in the blessings it dispenses, and remember that it owes all to the will of the Creator, we acknowledge that its perfection is from God.

	This aspiring poet read 'The Maltese Falcon' and his life was transformed. He's a modern-day Sam Spade.
		That was in the mid-1960s, when Fechheimer was a self-described "budding flower child" going for his master's in English lit at San Francisco State.
		An aspiring poet back then whose Pacific Heights bookshelves are still filled with Yeats and James Joyce, Fechheimer says he pulled a typical student all-nighter that fateful day 40 years ago to read the hard-boiled detective novel, which is celebrating the 75th anniversary of its publication.
		And a lucrative business it is. Fechheimer won't tattle and tell his rates, but confesses that private detectives at his level command fees of $250 to $500 an hour -- a far cry from his $2 an hour wages when he started with Pinkerton.
