![]() 70 Pine Street is a 67-story building rising 952 feet (290 m) tall. The roof is 850 feet (260 m) tall while the top story is 800 feet (240 m) high. Like its contemporaries, 70 Pine Street has a Gothic-like spire-topped appearance. Clinton & Russell, Holton & George designed 70 Pine Street in the Art Deco style, & was the last large commission by these architects. Of that firm's principals, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission states that Thomas J. George was likely the most involved with the design. The building was constructed as part of an ongoing skyscraper race in NYC, which resulted in the city having the world's tallest building from 1908 to 1974. When completed, 70 Pine Street was the third-tallest building in the world, after the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building in Midtown Manhattan.

Volume 70 of the
Dictionary of Literary Biography | is titled "British Mystery Writers, 1860-1919 (Dictionary of Literary Biography, 70)" Edited by Bernard Benstock, Gale Research, Detroit, 1988 DLB 70 This is the first DLB volume of a planned series on British mystery writers. Because there has been little scholarship devoted to individual mystery writers except for the most prominent, this volume is particularly useful as a stimulus to further study. Mystery fiction arose in Britain when the middle 19th-century phenomenon of middle-culture literary art blurred the distinction between serious literature & popular fiction. With prose fiction, and particularly the novel, fixed as the primary literary vehicle of 19th & 20th centuries, the mystery novel in its various guises has claimed a prominent position in mainstream literary art. 35 entries include: Grant Allen, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, John Buchan, G.K. Chesterton, Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, William Le Queux, E. Phillips Oppenheim, Angus Reach, Bram Stoker, H.G. Wells.

Out of that curiosity is a new kind of poetry born, an elderstile that has passion and irony, wisdom, folly, clarity and tenderness. In her keen engagement with the self and the world, Ostriker offers us a voice and a perspective that explore the territory of seventy and beyond. (5-stars rating by 8 readers at Amazon.com).

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. 3. Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. 4. Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:   and let such as love thy salvation say continually,   Let God be magnified. 5.

In Chapter 70 of
The Aquarian Gospel, Jesus and his disciples at a marriage feast in Cana. | Jesus speaks on marriage. He turns water into wine. The people are amazed. 1. In Cana, Galilee, there was a marriage feast, and Mary and her sister Miriam, and Jesus and his six disciples were among the guests. 2. The ruler of the feast had heard that Jesus was a master sent from God, and he requested him to speak. 3. And Jesus said, There is no tie more sacred than the marriage tie. 4. The chain that binds two souls in love is made in heaven, and man can never sever it in twain. 8. As Jesus stood apart in silent thought his mother came and said to him, The wine has failed; what shall we do? 9. And Jesus said, Pray what is wine? It is but water with flavouring of grapes. 10. And what are grapes? They are but certain kinds of thought made manifest, and I can manifest that thought, and water will be wine. 11. He called the servants, and he said to them, Bring in six water pots of stone, a pot for each of these, my followers, and fill them up with water to the brims. 12. The servants brought the water pots, and filled them to their brims. 13. And Jesus with a mighty thought stirred up the ethers till they reached the manifest, and, lo, the water blushed, and turned to wine. 16. And when the ruler and the guests were told that Jesus, by the power of thought, had turned the water into wine, they were amazed;, 17. They said, This man is more than man; he surely is the christed one who prophets of the olden times declared would come. 18. And many of the guests believed on him, and gladly would have followed him. The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ, Chapter 70 Transcribed from the Akashic Records by Levi H. Dowling DeVorss & Co., Santa Monica, CA, 1908, Reset 1964, pp. 111-112.

Hymn 70 in Book 1 of the
Rig Veda
is a song of praise to Agni, the God of Fire: | 1. MAY we, the pious, win much food by prayer, may Agni with fair light pervade each act, He the observer of the heavenly laws of Gods, and of the race of mortal man. 2. He who is germ of waters, germ of woods, germ of all things that move not and that move, To him even in the rock and in the house: Immortal One, he cares for all mankind. 3. Agni is Lord of riches for the man who serves him readily with sacred songs. Protect these beings thou with careful thought, knowing the races both of Gods and men. 4. Whom many dawns and nights, unlike, make strong, whom, born in Law, all things that move and stand, He hath been won, Herald who sits in light, making effectual all our holy works. 5. Thou settest value on our cows and woods: all shall bring tribute to us to the light. Men have served thee in many and sundry spots, parting, as 'twere, an aged father's wealth. 6. Like a brave archer, like one skilled and bold, a fierce avenger, so he shines in fight. Rig Veda Book 1, 70.1-6 (circa 1500 B.C.)

Lao Tzu (604-517 BC),
Hua Hu Ching, Verse 70: | The cords of passion and desire weave a binding net around you. Worldly confrontation makes you stiff and inflexible. The trap of duality is tenacious. Bound, rigid, and trapped, you cannot experience liberation. Through dual cultivation it is possible to unravel the net, soften the rigidity, dismantle the trap. Dissolving your yin energy into the source of universal life, attracting the yang energy from that same source, you leave behind individuality and your life becomes pure nature. Free of ego, living naturally, working virtuously, you become filled with inexhaustible vitality and are liberated forever from the cycle of death and rebirth. Understand this if nothing else: spiritual freedom and oneness with the Tao are not randomly bestowed gifts, but the rewards of conscious self-transformation and self-evolution. (translated by Brian Walker, Hua Hu Ching: The Unknown Teachings of Lao Tzu, Harper San Francisco 1992)

Section 70b-70e of Plato's
Timaeus The Heart & Lung in the Body: | The heart, the knot of the veins and the fountain of the blood which races through all the limbs, was set in the place of guard, that when the might of passion was roused by reason making proclamation of any wrong assailing them from without or being perpetrated by the desires within, quickly the whole power of feeling in the body, perceiving these commands and threats, might obey and follow through every turn and alley, and thus allow the principle of the best to have the command in all of them. But the gods... formed and implanted as a supporter to the heart the lung, which was, in the first place, soft and bloodless, and also had within hollows like the pores of a sponge, in order that by receiving the breath and drink, it might give coolness and the power of respiration and alleviate the heat. Wherefore they cut the air channels leading to the lung, and placed the lung about the heart as a soft spring, that, when passion was rife within, the heart, beating against a yielding body, might be cooled and suffer less, and might thus become more ready to join with passion in the service of reason.

On Spiritual Knowledge and Discrimination: 100 Texts | of Saint Diadochos of Photiki (400-486 AD) When the door of the steam baths is continually left open, the heat inside rapidly escapes through it; likewise the soul, in its desire to say many things, dissipates its remembrance of God through the door of speech, even though everything it says may be good. Thereafter the intellect, though lacking appropriate ideas, pours out a welter of confused thoughts to anyone it meets, as it no longer has the Holy Spirit to keep its understanding free from fantasy. Ideas of value always shun verbosity, being foreign to confusion and fantasy. Timely silence, then, is precious, for it is nothing less than the mother of the wisest thoughts.

For the Encouragement of the Monks in India who had Written to Him: 100 Texts | of Saint John of Karpathos (circa 680 AD) It may happen that for a certain time a man is illumined and refreshed by God's grace, and then this grace is withdrawn. This makes him inwardly confused & he starts to grumble; instead of seeking through steadfast prayer to recover his assurance of salvation, he loses patience and gives up. He is like a beggar who receives alms from the palace, and feels put out because he was not asked inside to dine with the king. The Philokalia (4th-15th century AD), translated by F.E.H.

Ch'ien is the beginning of all things. Therefore it is Heaven, yang, father and ruler. Origination, flourish, advantage, and firmness are called the Four Moral Qualities. Origination is the beginning of all things, flourish the growth of all things, advantage the success of all things, and firmness the completion of all things.

There is only subjectivity... all duality is interpretation of unity or non-duality. This is subject understanding understanding via subject. Objective understanding understanding via objects, methodical and by logical syllogism, cannot reach the truth, it can only lead to the brink of the void that separates duality from non-duality.

Chapter 70 of Wei Wu Wei's
Open Secret (1965)
is titled "Apperceiving": | Identity of Opposites: There is no non-manifestation apart from manifestation. But manifestation itself , and in the totality of its sensorially perceptible aspects, is nothing whatever but what is called 'mind' (if that be the term employed), because in itself manifestation is no thing at all. Indeed it is not even 'mind'. By that I mean to make it clear that objects as such are not composed of mind-stuff: they are not composed of anything for they are not there, or anywhere. They are just perceptions integral in their perceiving, which perception and perceiving is the supposed 'mind' that they are assumed to be. Nevertheless there is not 'a mind', nor anything to take its place (such as 'a consciousness'). Its only existence conceptual at that that is in manifestation, i.e., as the phenominal objects, physical or psychic, which are apperceived. Objects are seen as nothing but 'mind', and 'mind' is seen as nothing but objects. That is to say that 'mind' only apparently exists in order to render that manifestation perceptible, accompanying it as do the concepts of 'time' and 'space'. There is no 'mind': what the term signifies is apperceiving itself. (Note: Apperceiving is what is called prajna in Sanskrit) Apart from manifestation manifested there is no such thing as non-manifestation. Manifestation is the only non-manifestation. There is no other non-manifestation at all. To conceive it as 'the source' of manifestation, that is, as some thing-in-itself, is as misleading as to conceiving manifestation as a thing-in-itself. There is no other apart from self. No non-being apart from being. No non-manifestation apart from manifestation. Not because that is conceptually inevitable. But because their mutual existence is Apperceiving. Wei Wu Wei (1895-1986), Open Secret (1963), pp. 147-148 (Archive, "How Open Secret led me to Wei Wu Wei")

Only when they release that tension may they become creative again, products of the soul. In a relaxed state, happiness is found, and the qualities of the soul shine forth. Selfish, greedy people are tense, concerned, often inhibited. Tension breeds negative thinking. Relaxation gives birth to positive creations... The best time to take a yoga break is when you feel that you have the least time. If your world were suddenly to fall down around you, leaving you standing alone with no one to lean on, no finances, no family, no friends, where would your power come from? You would have to, in that moment, reexperience the same power that you felt flooding through you as you lay concentrated and relaxed upon the floor. That effulgent, rejuvenating power is the Self, the real You, flowing through "your" mind and "your" body. Freedom from worldly tensions is only achieved to the degree in which people are able to control the forces of their own mind. In this control they are able to lean upon the power of their own inner security, found in the eternity of the moment. In that moment, your inner strength is found. So, take your yoga break whenever you feel even a little tired physically, a little nervous, a little distraught. That is the time, not when you have time. Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (1927-2001) Merging with Siva: Hinduism's Contemporary Metaphysics Himalayan Academy, Kapaa, Hawaii, 1999, pp. 144-145.

| "The helmsman steered us through!" | in Line 70 of Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner": At length did cross an Albatross, Thorough the fog it came; As if it had been a Christian soul, We hailed it in God's name. It ate the food it ne'er had eat, And round and round it flew. The ice did split with a thunder-fit; The helmsman steered us through!

Chapter 70 of Melville's
Moby-Dick (1851) is titled "The Sphynx": | Now, the beheading of the Sperm Whale is a scientific anatomical feat, upon which experienced whale surgeons very much pride themselves: and not without reason. Consider that the whale has nothing that can properly be called a neck; on the contrary, where his head and body seem to join, there, in that very place, is the thickest part of him. Remember, also, that the surgeon must operate from above, some eight or ten feet intervening between him and his subject, and that subject almost hidden in a discolored, rolling, and oftentimes tumultuous & bursting sea. Bear in mind, too, that under these untoward circumstances he has to cut many feet deep in the flesh; and in that subterraneous manner, without so much as getting one single peep into the ever-contracting gash thus made, he must skillfully steer clear of all adjacent, interdicted parts, and exactly divide the spine at a critical point hard by its insertion into the skull. Do you not marvel, then, at Stubb's boast, that he demanded but ten minutes to behead a sperm whale?... When this last task was accomplished it was noon, and the seamen went below to their dinner. Silence reigned over the before tumultuous but now deserted deck. An intense copper calm, like a universal yellow lotus, was more and more unfolding its noiseless measureless leaves upon the sea... "Better and better, man. Would now St. Paul would come along that way, and to my breezelessness bring his breeze! O Nature, and O soul of man! how far beyond all utterance are your linked analogies; not the smallest atom stirs or lives on matter, but has its cunning duplicate in mind." Herman Melville (1819-1891), Moby-Dick, Chapter 70: The Sphynx
