Examples

“The story of the Bible is therefore the story of the fall⟳ of man by listening to the self-life, in time being brought back to oneness with the Divine through the work⟳ of a Human-Divine Redeemer, the seed of the woman.”

“That recurring idea of isolation, the sense⟳ of the secrecy of men's bosoms, the perception of life as always lying in the shadow that falls on it, proceeded from predilections of his own⟳, differentiating him from other men; there may have⟳ been no very perilous stuff in his breast, nothing to confess or record⟳ peculiar to himself in act or experience⟳, no intensity of self-life, but there was this temperament of the solitary brooder upon life.”
