Excerpt from Desert, Pinnacle, and Mountain

By pride the angels fell, says a great voice. It is not clear, however, What pride would mean to an angel, or what would be the pathology of such a malady, or the prognosis either. Therefore the angels may keep on falling, or may sturdily hold their shining seats forever, so far as practical bearing upon our lives is concerned. But when a man goes hot with passion, or cold with fear, or white with anger; when one of our flesh is tempted to gratify a lower at the expense of a higher hunger; to short-cut his way to power by ignoble methods; or to fall down before any of the gods of expediency or custom, my soul is engaged, on the instant. I know the battle, and I yearn to watch its issue in him.
