... He is secure, and now can never mourn A heart grown cold, a head grown gray in vain; Nor, when the spirit's self has ceased to burn, With sparkless ashes load an unlamented urn .. .. He is made one with Nature: there is heard His voice in all her music, from the moan Of thunder, to the song of night's sweet bird; He is a presence to be felt and known In darkness and in light, from herb and stone, Spreading itself where'er that Power may move Which has withdrawn his being to its own; Which wields the world with never-wearied love, Sustains it from beneath, and kindles it above . ...
162. The Birth Of The Ice Age Theory. Ch.4 Ice (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... covering plains, lakes, seas, and plateaux. Upon the life and movement of a vigorous creation fell the silence of death. Springs vanished, rivers ceased flowing, the rays of the sun, rising upon this frozen shore (if, indeed, they reached it), encountered only the breath of winter from the north and the thunder of crevasses as they opened up across the surface of this icy sea."4 Agassiz regarded the inception and the termination of the Ice Age as catastrophic events. He believed that mammoths in Siberia were suddenly caught in the ice that spread swiftly over the larger part of the globe. He expressed the belief that repeated global catastrophes were ...

[and he asks that the] all-shaking thunder, smite flat the thick rotundity o' th' world! (King Lear, Act III) The bard asks through the mouth of one of his characters: Are not you moved, when all the sway of earth Shakes like a thing unfirm? .. .But never till to-night, never till now Did I go through ...
164. Planets In Dreams And Anxiety. Ch.6 Dreams And Hallucinations (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... . Even the first impression that the approaching celestial body was the giant Jupiter, later corrected, represents the great illusion that the forebears experienced at the approach of Venus, mistaken for Jupiter, as described in Worlds in Collision (" Zeus and Athene"). The din of crash-ings recalls the experience of the same time when "mighty thunderings" (Exodus 9:28) accompanied the fall of the meteorites; these noises were no less terrifying than the destructions the meteorites caused. The near-freeing of submerged and terrifying racial mnemes would naturally produce an expectation of doomsday. In the above-quoted book, his last, Jung prefaced a discussion of flying saucers with these unusual words: ...
165. Chaos and Creation [Books] [de Grazia books]
... horns (encorné) devastated Lake Ontario. The Sun and the Moon witnessed the extinction of the Indians, swallows up one after another by the monster. In the end not a canoe was left on the water, not a lodge on the lake shores. But one day the beast ventured too near the falls (Niagara). The Thunder god slew it with a bolt and left its body floating on the water like a chain of rocky spurs.[17] When the Romans came to name the planet of the morning and evening star, they called it Venus, for reasons little known, since on the one hand Venus is thought to have been a minor Italian ...
166. Horeb: The Mountain of God [Journals] [SIS Review]
... fundamentally important (and terrifying) part of the phenomena surrounding the Exodus. An elevated spot like a mountain-top would of course be one of the prime targets of such divine' bolts. And this is fully confirmed by the Book of Exodus [3 ]. There we are told: Now at daybreak .. . there were peals of thunder and flashes of lightning, dense cloud on the mountain and a very loud trumpet blast; and, in the camp, all the people trembled. Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they took their stand at the bottom of the mountain. Mount Sinai was entirely wrapped in smoke, because Yahweh ...
167. The Origami of Species [Journals] [Kronos]
... the microscope some of the crystals which were salvaged showed peculiar displacements which, using polarized light, also appeared to be stress-free. And there were selective fragmentation of a large number of the crystals, just as if someone had taken small, uniform bites out of them. At the University of North Carolina, experiments with plants grown near the thundering din of a busy airport showed that a species of turnip sprouted sooner than was seasonally normal. This apparently wasn't a mutagenic effect, but unusual nonetheless, and was possibly caused by thermally induced stimuli. By congruency, acoustically induced shock fronts could be, in a large part, responsible for selective mutations, and which might also give ...

... origin of the dog star' or Pegasus of Greek mythology. However, the secret of Samson's strength lies in his hair. The significance of hair as a catastrophic motif is dealt with at length in Worlds in Collision'. The very name comet, being derived from comes' for hairy one or bearded one, is well known. Thunder gods were always bearded and fully haired as any Father in the sky' should be. In his book, Gods and Myths of Northern Europe', H. R. Ellis Davidson (6 ) quotes: Raud said (to Thor) "Blow out the bristles of your beard against him, and we will resist them stoutly ...

... was not invented by Seneca: it was familiar because of what had happened in earlier ages. "O thou, exalted ruler of the sky, who sittest in majesty upon the throne of heaven, enwrap the whole universe in awful clouds, set the winds warring on every hand, and from every quarter of the sky let the loud thunder roll; not with what hand thou seekest houses and undeserving homes, using thy lesser bolts, but with that hand by which the threefold mass of mountains fell . . . these arms let loose and hurl thy fires."
