swaying all things irresistibly .
This may be called the fate of poets and mythologists .
Philosophical fate is the sum of the laws of the universe ,
the product of eternal intelligence and the blind properties of matter .
Theological fate represents Deity as above the laws of nature ,
and ordaining all things according to his will --
the expression of that will being the law .
