To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But even as, throughout all nature, a state of death is an imprisoned fire, so throughout all nature is there only one way of kindling life. You might as weU write the word " flame " on the outside of a flint and expect it to emit sparks as to imagine that any speculations of your reason wiW kindle divine life in your soul. No : Would you have Fire from a Flint ; its House of Death must be shaken, and its Chains of Darkness broken off by the Strokes of a Steel upon it. This must of all Necessit...y be done to your Soul, its imprisoned Fue must be awakened by the sharp Strokes of Steel, or no true Light of Life can arise in it. ^ All life, whether physical or spiritual, means a death to some previous condition, and must be generated in pain. I An Appeal, Worh, vol. Vi. Pp. 166. * Ibid. , p. 82. 100 MYSTICISM IN ENGLISH LITERATURE If this mystical view of Fire be clear, it will be easy enough to follow what Law says about Light and Darkness, or Air, Water, and Earth, interpreting them aU in the same way as " eternal Things become gross, finite, measurable, divisible, and transitory/' ^ The Spirit of Prayer is of aU Law's works the one most steeped in mystic ardour, and it possesses a charm, a melody of rhythm, and an imaginative qualit}^ rarety to be found in his earlier work.
