Glaucus; Or, The Wonders of the Shore
·
Charles Kingsley

This
great
and
yet
most
blessed
paradox
of
the
Changeless
God,
who
yet
can
say
“It
repenteth
me,”
and
“Behold,
I
work
a
new
thing
on
the
earth,”
is
revealed
no
less
by
nature
than
by
Scripture;
the
changeableness,
not
of
caprice
or
imperfection,
but
of
an
Infinite
Maker
and
“Poietes,”
drawing
ever
fresh
forms
out
of
the
inexhaustible
treasury
of
His
primæval
Mind;
and
yet
never
throwing
away
a
conception
to
which
He
has
once
given
actual
birth
in
time
and
space,
(but
to
compare
reverently
small
things
and
great)
lovingly
repeating
it,
re-applying
it;
producing
the
same
effects
by
endlessly
different
methods;
or
so
delicately
modifying
the
method
that,
as
by
the
turn
of
a
hair,
it
shall
produce
endlessly
diverse
effects;
looking
back,
as
it
were,
ever
and
anon
over
the
great
work
of
all
the
ages,
to
retouch
it,
and
fill
up
each
chasm
in
the
scheme,
which
for
some
good
purpose
had
been
left
open
in
earlier
worlds;
or
leaving
some
open
(the
forms,
for
instance,
necessary
to
connect
the
bimana
and
the
quadrumana)
to
be
filled
up
perhaps
hereafter
when
the
world
needs
them;
the
handiwork,
in
short,
of
a
living
and
loving
Mind,
perfect
in
His
own
eternity,
but
stooping
to
work
in
time
and
space,
and
there
rejoicing
Himself
in
the
work
of
His
own
hands,
and
in
His
eternal
Sabbaths
ceasing
in
rest
ineffable,
that
He
may
look
on
that
which
He
hath
made,
and
behold
it
is
very
good.
