    They say miracles are past; and we have our philosophical persons, to make modern and familiar, things supernatural and causeless. Hence it is that we make trifles of terrors, ensconcing ourselves into seeming knowledge, when we should submit ourselves
    to an unknown fear."

    Paroles, who argues by echoing, says, "Why, 'tis the rarest argument of wonder that hath shot out in our later times."
