Excerpt from People (Thither Coming Out of a Region Wherein Disasters Are Met as if They Were a Jest), Whom You May Meet at the Fair The law is of the intellect; the intellect sees, and is satisfied with the letter of the bond, or agreement; and cannot comprehend the absurdity that calls for heart and spirit wherefrom are the issues of life, - or equity. To the bond or con tract, ih the play of the Merchant of Venice, the one in whose favor it was, would have the law applied. His intellect could not see any reason why it should not be carried out. But there is a heart in man, - as well as a mind. In olden times men wished an eye for an eye, and the tooth for a tooth that the law gave. There was no reason against this. But a dispensation greater than the old law came into the world, - through the heart. And this dispensation was the quality of mercy, not strained, which is Equity, given to the world by one who, in blessing the merciful, put an end to many an ancient contract. The law would leave the hearts of all men as cold, - as dead, - as the icebergs that come down from the north. But equity which is of the heart, has in it a quality that at the right time and um der circumstances that have altered. Can melt them.
