The Eagle Life and Other Studies in the Old Testament (Classic Reprint)

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Gen. i. 2. Some time ago, out on the A tlantic, far beyond the sight of land, I saw a cloud whose outlines took the form of a great bird. I ts mighty wings were stretched out so as to touch the two horizons, and it seemed like a mother-bird brooding over the entire deep. I recalled the word in Genesis which I have written above, and the marvellous cloud became to me a symbol of the most real but invisible presence of the Lord brooding over the varied waters of human life.
