' And further on he says that his own great
picture symbolical of this renascence was suggested by Philip
Aylwin's vignette. Since the original writing of Aylwin, many years
ago, I have enlarged upon its central idea in the _Encyclopaedia
Britannica_ and in the introductory essay to the third volume of
Chambers's _Cyclopaedia of English Literature_, and in other
places. Naturally, therefore, the phrase has been a good deal
discussed. Quite lately Dr. Robertson Nicoll has directed attention
to the phrase, and he has taken it as a text of a remarkable
discourse upon the 'Renascence of Wonder in Religion.' I am tempted
to quote some of his words:--
Amongst the Logia recently discovered by the explorers of the Egypt
Fund, there is one of which part was already known to have occurred
in the Gospel according to the Hebrews. It runs as follows:--'Let
not him that seeketh cease from his search until he find, and when
he finds he shall wonder: wondering he shall reach the kingdom, and
when he reaches the kingdom he shall have rest.
