15141 | After he had been playing for some time Beethoven interrupted him with the question,"When are you going to begin?" |
15141 | And you wish me to deliver it? |
15141 | At the conclusion of the service the Prince made the rather inane remark,"but my dear Beethoven, what have you been doing now?" |

15141 | Does not the mind instantly revert to the C minor Symphony? |
15141 | How could they, we naturally ask, get an audience, when so many performances were in progress, and how could the people get around to so many places? |
15141 | In speaking of him in after years, he said,"Who can thank sufficiently a great poet? |
15141 | Muss es sein? |
15141 | On one occasion, however, she was playing his_ Kennst Du das Land?_ when he came in unexpectedly. |
15141 | This art of improvising, as these masters practised it,--who can explain it or tell how it is done? |
15141 | Why should these not also exist in the actual world?" |

35601 | 3 JOSEPH HAYDN] Do you remember that once upon a time Joseph Haydn lived as court musician in the Esterhazy family? |
35601 | And does he not look kind? |
35601 | And the position of the left hand? |
35601 | But do you not think his face is a fine one? |
35601 | Do you see his baton and the score on the desk? |
35601 | Does he not have a round, good- natured face? |
35601 | Full of light and life and eagerness? |
35601 | In what Italian city did Liszt live? |
35601 | In what family did he live? |

13767 | Did the Great Artist have any left after planting the fence- corners, roadsides and deep woods of Peterboro? |
13767 | Hast found a pasture green in which to tread, Beside refreshing waters art thou led, Content beyond my powers to conceive? |
13767 | In its depths holden, With maiden art, Whose image hath she? |
13767 | Some think that the negro melodies should form the basis of our American music; but why? |
13767 | What lady hands in lilac hedge Or tansy bed went gleaning? |
13767 | What says her heart, Fragrant and golden? |
13767 | What sturdy youth and maid demure Within that garden olden, Their vows of love and constancy Pledged in the sunset golden? |
13767 | What was to be done? |
13767 | When the larder needed replenishing she would break the news to her employer like this:"Marse John?" |
13767 | Who placed that rusty flintlock there, Against the stone fence leaning? |
13767 | Why encourage the production of distinctive American music in a country in which there is not even a distinctive type of face or mode of speech? |
13767 | Why try to foster the limited local idea with regard to music, or any artistic or intellectual pursuit? |

35013 | Why did he change his mind and remain there? |
35013 | [ Illustration 11: CHOPIN PLAYING FOR THE PRINCE] Do you wonder what kind of a man the little Polish boy became after he found success in Paris? |
17465 | And the cellar, also? |
17465 | How much are the expenses of your concert? |
17465 | Many persons, artists and amateurs,said Fiorentino,"absolutely asked on the morning of her_ début_, Who is this Alboni? |
17465 | Well, how does this concern me? |
17465 | ''But have I not still a disengaged evening?'' |

17465 | Do you know that I could propose a little partnership affair? |
17465 | Do you want it buttered?'' |
17465 | He fixed his flashing eyes upon her:''What did you say?'' |
17465 | Jealous as she was by temperament, she always wept when Madamoiselle Sontag achieved a great success, saying, naively,"Why does she sing so divinely?" |
17465 | She whispers to him with a rather coarse epithet:''Why do n''t you take it? |
17465 | The great pianist and composer Moscheles writes:"What shall I say of Jenny Lind? |
17465 | The visitor then took the long golden tresses floating over Persiani''s shoulders, and asked,"Is it all your own?" |
17465 | Then, changing his voice:"Do n''t you know your voice is a gold- mine that has never been explored? |
17465 | What can she do?" |
17465 | What more unique triumph can be fancied than such a one violating all the laws of probability? |
17465 | What was the reason of this unanimous disdain or this unanimous doubt? |
17465 | Whence does she come? |
36215 | ''And you wo n''t flunk, will you?'' 36215 But you changed your mind?" |
36215 | Did you ever have to walk? |
36215 | Do you think I can do it? |
36215 | What is the most enjoyable part I ever had? |
36215 | When did I first sing in public? 36215 ''Could he do them now?'' 36215 Do you mean when did I make my real début in opera? 36215 InThe Bride Elect,"he gave us marches-- shall we say"galore"? |
36215 | Miss Russell also described interestingly her methods of working up a part:--"How do I study my parts? |
36215 | Of course, I love music, but what can be more gratifying than to portray the heroines of Shakespeare and other great dramatists? |
36215 | Still, is her condition of mind to be wondered at? |
36215 | The fair- haired Lillian sang at this concert"Let Me Dream again"by Sullivan and"Connais- tu le Pays?" |
36215 | Where, in all that, is to be found the simple graciousness, the dainty, delicate, unobtrusive art of Marie Tempest? |
36215 | Which is right? |
36215 | Why not give Miss Hall a chance to play the girl next door? |
36215 | Why scour Europe for a human specimen which only warps a personality that belongs right here at home? |

36147 | And why is it they infest this particular branch of business more than any other? |
36147 | And why? |
36147 | Are we not bound to consider them as our fellow brethren and to care for them as well as for those receiving premiums? |
36147 | But suppose the awards were made with proper knowledge and strictest impartiality, what then? |
36147 | But what was the result? |
36147 | But when Gemünder told him they were new ones made by him, the amateur stared at him as much as to say,"Do you make fun of me? |
36147 | Disappointed in his effort to find employment, winter at the door and far away from home, what could he do? |
36147 | He then remarked that he wished to find an Italian violin of first class, and asked Gemünder if he had something of that kind in his possession? |
36147 | I have often shown this art in exceptional repairs; but what can be gained by it? |
36147 | Is this fair on the part of human society? |
36147 | Thus a moral prize values higher than a piece of metal? |
36147 | Upon expressing my surprise, he replied with the following insult:"What do you know about the position of the sounding post? |
36147 | What have the remaining competitors gained who are less gifted by nature, and therefore could not receive any award? |
36147 | What is the reason of this and where is it to be found, and why does good luck generally lie in the opposite extreme? |
36147 | Wherein, therefore, do we find that which frightens the purchasers? |
36147 | Whereupon Poznanski replied in an excited tone,"Have you not heard that we do not want a new violin?" |

17074 | And what is more fatal than a lack of gradation of interest? |
17074 | But under such extraordinary circumstances can help be hoped for? |
17074 | But what, it may be asked, is the character of the changes made by Bach? |
17074 | But, it will be asked, Why is he mentioned in a book which is concerned with the sonata? |
17074 | In 1745(?) |
17074 | Is Liszt''s sonata a Phoenix rising from its ashes? |
17074 | Is the coincidence accidental, or did Mendelssohn know the sonata, and was he unconsciously influenced by it?" |
17074 | Joseph Bottomley, another English composer( 1786-? |
17074 | May we, then, not conclude that young Beethoven''s attention was attracted to these"masterly sonatas,"and also to those of his teacher Neefe? |
17074 | Now, was Beethoven acquainted with Rust''s music? |
17074 | Some change has taken place: have the lovers grown cold? |
17074 | The following story is also told by Davidson in a preface contributed by him to the Brewer edition of the Woelfl sonata:--"Who will play it?" |
17074 | What other composer creates this almost irresistible desire?" |
17074 | Why, one may ask, did not the editor indicate the additions in smaller notes? |
17074 | [ 68] He therefore asks:"Are the hard, rough, passionate expressions of an angry and indignant man beautiful?" |
17074 | or has death divided them? |
17074 | says Schindler,"then you will next set about writing an_ angry_ sonata?" |

26427 | 38,_ Regina Apostolorum_, in the Hymn Book, the sweet music thereto being his own composition,( or in part adaptation?) |

26427 | Bateman:''... Rome has corrupted the pure Apostolic doctrine, can we wonder that it should have a corrupt architecture?'' |
26427 | Could mediæval work, largely out of touch with the times, claim for itself a monopoly of existence to the exclusion of the modern? |
26427 | Do you mean the twelve semitones, as some suggest? |
26427 | I can not, indeed, help liking Mozart; but surely his music is not religious?" |
26427 | Later on he inquires:"How do you and Dr. Crotch get on?" |
26427 | Mrs. J. Mozley says,"We are pleased at your tribute to music, but what do you mean by fourteen notes? |
26427 | On what occasion did he march? |
26427 | Reding:''Why, then, go to Rome for Gregorians? |
26427 | What can be more beautiful than Handel''s, Mozart''s, and Beethoven''s melodies?" |
26427 | What has become of them? |
26427 | When people who are not musicians have accused Handel and Beethoven of not being_ simple_ I have always said,''is Gothic architecture_ simple_?'' |

27502 | But if this indefatigable search after originality be a sin, to what new and extraordinary effects, to what wonders, has it not given birth? |
27502 | But what shall be said of"Lascia che io pianza?" |

17464 | If the rapid vocalization of a singer was praised, Mara would significantly ask,"Can she sing six plain notes?" |
17464 | Might she not be ruining herself in giving the Grand Duke of Russia a bad opinion of her powers? |
17464 | People have often said to me,"Madame Mara, why do you not introduce more pretty things, and passages, and graces in your singing?" |
17464 | See how ugly she is; and as for singing-- did you ever hear such a vile jargon of sounds?" |

39671 | Can it be recovered to any extent, and, if so, how? |
39671 | How was it possible to realise all the suppleness and subtleties of elocution on the orchestra? |
39671 | Was Alessandro Scarlatti still in Venice when Handel met him? |
39671 | Was such protection as useful to Handel as he had hoped? |
39671 | Who can say from memory the titles of even six of his thirty- nine operas, from whence may be culled many of his choicest flowers of melody? |
39671 | [ 197] Handel wrote the third act, Bononcini the second, the first had been already set by a certain Signor Pippo( Phillipo Matti?). |
39671 | [ 298] Is not even_ Joseph_ entitled"a sacred Drama,"and_ Hercules_"a musical Drama"? |

38268 | ... pourquoi partez- vous? |
38268 | All of this is quite unanswerable; yet, so far as musical Germany is concerned, is not the situation rather singular? |
38268 | But are we very greatly nourished by the contemplation of that which must inevitably arouse disgust rather than compassion? |
38268 | But those aspects of life which sicken the sense, which are loathsome rather than terrible-- are they fit matter for the artist? |
38268 | But what, actually, do we get? |
38268 | Has the vital, if crude, imagination which gave issue to the music of"Tosca"acquired finesse and delicacy at a cost of independent impulse? |
38268 | Is not Strauss, in such a work as"Salome,"but another Berlioz( though a Berlioz with a gleaming past)? |
38268 | We find a foreshadowing of this kind of effect in such a passage as_ Tristan''s_"Bin ich in Kornwall?" |
38268 | Yet what becomes of"Tristan und Isolde,"of"Meistersinger,"of"Götterdämmerung,"when this principle is tested by their quality and effect? |
38268 | wherefore didst thou not look at me, Jokanaan?..." |
43873 | Does n''t Signor So- and- so conduct admirably? |

43873 | Once more,says Scarpia,"where is Angelotti?" |
43873 | Who can not detect,they say,"in the delicate profile of one woman the personality both of Mimi and Francine? |
43873 | Who as he reads of Mimi''s little hands, whiter than those of the Goddess of Ease, is not reminded of Francine''s little muff?" |

30560 | Is the music conveying a logical message to me, or is it merely a sea of sound? |
30560 | Answer the question I''ve put you so oft: What do you mean by your mountainous fugues? |
30560 | But how about the tune when it is in the_ bass_ as is the case so frequently in Beethoven''s Symphonies or in Wagner''s Operas? |
30560 | But why all this pother? |
30560 | Every man was asking himself and his comrades the question posed by the most popular novel of the day:''What shall we do?'' |
30560 | For what is music without dissonance? |
30560 | For who can limit the combinations of sound and rhythm, or forecast the range of the human imagination? |
30560 | How could it be otherwise? |
30560 | In regard to any work of large dimensions the final test is this: can we sing all the themes and follow them in their polyphonic development? |
30560 | It was characteristic of the Romantic unrest of the German mind to question everything-- especially"Why am I not more happy in love?" |
30560 | Schumann''s well- known comment is apropos--"How is gravity to clothe itself if jest goes about in dark veils?" |
30560 | The first question, in the presence of an elaborate work of music, should never be,"Do I like it or not?" |
30560 | The mood of dreamy contemplation with which the Slow Movement begins can not be translated into words; why attempt it? |
30560 | The question, therefore, faces us: how shall we learn this mysterious language so as readily to understand it? |
30560 | WARUM? |
30560 | What, now, in this connection can be said of America? |
30560 | Why expect the work of any one composer to manifest all possible merits? |
30560 | [ Footnote 188: Perhaps the whirligig of time may restore them; who can say?] |
30560 | but"Do I understand it?" |
19557 | After all, may it not be that he has flinched? |
19557 | And after one is dead, what does it all matter? |
19557 | And from whom did Tolstoy learn more than from that conserver of the pristine and dominating Russian traits, the moujik? |
19557 | And had M. Rachmaninoff instead of being a musician been a painter, would not a like destiny await his compositions? |
19557 | And was not this restatement of the national character Borodin''s great contribution to his age''s life? |
19557 | And where was this music more immanent than in the New World, in America, that essentialization of the entire age? |
19557 | Are not the piano- pieces of M. Rachmaninoff the result of a relationship to the instrument that is fast becoming outmoded? |
19557 | Are they not a sort of throwback to the salon school, the school of velocity, of effect, of whatever Rubinstein and Liszt could desire? |
19557 | But if there is such a thing as form without significance in music, might not these compositions serve to exemplify it? |

19557 | When was there a time when composers did not deform their themes in amorous, rustic and warlike variations? |
19557 | Would not the two rhapsodies"L''Etang"and"La Cornemuse"have transmuted to music the macabre and sinister note of so much symbolist poetry? |
19557 | Would not the"Pagan Poem"have been the musical equivalent of the mystic and sorrowful sensuality of Verlaine? |

18138 | Does it seem possible now that he had to struggle for twenty- five years before he could secure the production of his"Ring of the Nibelung"? |
18138 | For was it not the incomparable Delphine who was destined to"soothe the bitterness of sorrow"during his final hours on earth? |
18138 | How long did Delphine survive Chopin? |

18138 | In fact, has any woman, professional musician or not? |
18138 | Is it a wonder that but little more than a year after they met, the Princess decided to burn her bridges behind her and leave her husband? |
18138 | Is it not true-- those from the last year of his life are just as tender as those written during the first year of our marriage?" |
18138 | Realizing that his lame finger rendered him incapable of playing, he called out despairingly:"Who will lend me fingers?" |

39935 | The puzzle, then, is: Who was the father of Henry Purcell the Elder and of Thomas Purcell? |
39935 | Then who taught him? |
39935 | Was it an instance of coming events casting their shadows before? |
39935 | What did the elder Purcell do before he attained to such a position? |

36143 | But why, above all, should the habitual impersonator of heroes fall beneath the sword of one who was accustomed only to play a villain''s part?" |
36143 | He then got calmer, and I casually observed,"By- the- bye, is the opera over yet, Mongini?" |
36143 | How am I to answer you until I have talked to my friends and read the criticisms in the morning papers?" |
36143 | I replied,"Are you sure?" |
36143 | Maple, and said to him--"Have you not another suite of rooms as good, or nearly so, as the one for which these ladies are disputing?" |
36143 | She then asked me how I could possibly think of such a thing when the chintz and the crumbcloth of his dressing- room had not been fixed? |
36143 | The heading of the letter announced the character of his new business, and he added in a postscript:"Do you ever want any tin?" |
36143 | Then, addressing his partner, he simply said:"Mr. Wood, can I have a minute''s conversation with you outside?" |
36143 | What would attract them? |

28252 | And do you now wonder that I so insist on every test possible being brought to bear in this important matter of selection? |
28252 | But before I go farther into this interesting, consequently absorbing process, I must answer some question such as"but why use sandpaper? |
28252 | But to_ what_ oil varnish is not my present purpose; why should I seek to close the door on research and on experiment? |
28252 | But what then? |

28252 | Does nature do this to the lungs of a Madame Patti or a Sims Reeves before she turns them on the world? |
28252 | Exactly, a question of degree, as purity of air is, but who chooses the foul when he can live in the pure? |
28252 | For example or examples, suppose I found, crowning the severe, almost rigid column of the soundhole of Del Jesu, the mobile bend of Stradivari? |
28252 | I think so: and am sure the whole world would to- day be only too glad if the old masters had been silly(?) |

35520 | Ah, composition? |
35520 | And where? |
35520 | He is,she replied;"but why?" |
35520 | What does this mean? |
35520 | What''s the matter? |
35520 | Who is the gentleman? |
35520 | A quarter of a century had elapsed since I had seen Raff, and naturally one of my first questions was,"Raff, how is the Wagner cause?" |
35520 | And when did garden ever better repay the personal love and care of the gardener? |
35520 | As I was walking along with him, he said,"I''m out of money; wo n''t you lend me three louis d''or?" |
35520 | But when we left the Altenburg, he said casually,"You say you are going to Leipsic for a few days on business? |
35520 | Do you continue your familiar intercourse with the Old Cognac in the New World, my dear Mason? |
35520 | Do you remember the fact? |
35520 | Finally, you will ask:"Stranger, who art thou?" |
35520 | Has he, perhaps, a method of his own?" |
35520 | He entered the room, and after the usual friendly greeting said,"What were you playing just now as I came up the stairs?" |
35520 | His sole comment was,"Have you ever heard Tausig?" |
35520 | How can this value be determined? |
35520 | Just as I was turning to leave, I heard a voice at the head of the stairs call out,"Wer ist da?" |
35520 | Just now my time is very much engaged, but we are going up the river on a picnic this afternoon-- Joachim and others; will you come along? |
35520 | Many years afterward I reminded Mr. Webb of this remark, whereupon he said,"William, is it possible that I was so foolish?" |
35520 | My name was mentioned, and Wehle asked,"Did you ever hear his wonderful tale about Timm, the New York player?" |
35520 | PEDAL AND PEDAL SIGNS-- WHY NOT DISPENSE WITH THE LATTER? |
35520 | The result was that when the next lesson- hour came around and I asked her how she found the new exercise, she exclaimed:"How do I like it? |

35721 | Could he not improve on Auber''s music and produce an opera in which the action should be equally swift? |
35721 | For some strange reason,"Who is Sylvia?" |
35721 | Here a great stirring is made in the orchestra, and a cry( violin solo) is heard:--_ Macbeth_: Wherefore was that cry? |
35721 | In any decent production the song must be given to Feste, but how often is it? |

31526 | And what of the Catholic syllabus and Protestant"Culturkampf"as well? |
31526 | But have we also by this time a German spirit that sways the nation''s life? |
31526 | But what of the real goal? |
31526 | But why take note of time when great and grand things are to be accomplished? |
31526 | Could German art then remain in the background? |
31526 | Did he, while at work on his grand tragedy, occupying him fully two years, neglect his studies? |
31526 | For is not religion divided into warring factions and science into special cliques, jealous of each other? |
31526 | Had he not once before beheld a being wasting away in the constant longing for the eternal home and yet destined never to find rest? |
31526 | Have we come to detest mere might which we have hitherto worshipped and that yet"bears within its lap evil and thralldom?" |
31526 | Herodias thou wast and what more? |
31526 | His disposition is indicated by the words:"You are a Protestant? |
31526 | How could it be otherwise amid such a public as then existed in Germany? |
31526 | How could such common treasures be heeded by him who had at his disposal the Holy Grail? |
31526 | How does our poet interpret the legend? |
31526 | In it was the question:"Will this prince be found?" |
31526 | Of what importance in this direction was Germany at that time? |
31526 | The boy heard him say to his mother in an undertone:"Can it be that he has a talent for music?" |
31526 | These tones utter anew a world- saving prophesy, and shall we not then appropriate them fully and forever? |
31526 | To which shall be the victory? |
31526 | What could inflict more injury to our higher nature, to our real culture? |
31526 | Where would such pretensions, such extravagance lead? |
31526 | Who is there to- day who will doubt that Faust denial of the curse and the prophetic presentment of a new world? |
31526 | Who that was present does not think with joyous emotion of those Munich May- days of 1868? |
31526 | Why should not he then, this youth of twenty- one, ready for any deed and every pleasure, earnestly longing for success, enter upon the same course? |
31526 | recognized the theatre as"contributing to the refinement of manners and of taste"? |
39861 | Can anything have detained her? |
39861 | Have you thought of nothing? |
39861 | Pray tell me the name of the saviour of myself and children? |
39861 | Well, what is it? |
39861 | What is the matter with you? |
39861 | What, old Fidalma? 39861 Who is there?" |
39861 | And how has time worked upon Sontag? |
39861 | And now I desire to praise this enchantress, who has transformed an entire nation; but where shall I find the words? |
39861 | But now I think otherwise, and I say: It is lovely; let us enjoy the moment, and why refuse to enjoy it? |
39861 | Could she? |
39861 | Have not Auber and Scribe, in their pretty opera_ L''Ambassadrice_, given us the story of Mademoiselle Sontag transformed into the Countess de Rossi? |
39861 | IS IT THE MOTHER, OR THE DAUGHTER? |
39861 | If the Emperor thought right to ask her to sing, would the King of Sardinia think proper to allow her to sing? |
39861 | If, to take the exact measure of this phenomenon by comparison, we turn to the very few who were her contemporaries on the stage, what do we behold? |
39861 | It is twenty- two years since she left the stage; and how do we know whether she still possesses the talents which made her once so celebrated?" |
39861 | What could the happy girl of former days, whose short life had been a series of triumphs, do but carol, like the lark, at the gates of Heaven? |
39861 | Who can describe her face? |
39861 | Who knows if, after all, bitter regrets did not follow to disturb the repose which she had promised herself? |
39861 | ought she to sing? |
39861 | why sacrifice it to the future? |
39861 | would she? |
28056 | And how can happiness be better expressed than by song or music? 28056 Are the race often as good- looking?" |
28056 | Beethoven seemed re- animated; his eyes shone: he struggled for utterance, and gasped,''Is it not true, Hummel, that I have some talent, after all?'' 28056 But where has he taken his first lessons? |
28056 | Elizabeth,said she,"is it true that thee is learning music, and can play upon the guitar?" |
28056 | How shall we sing the Lord''s song in a strange land? |
28056 | And is there to be no aim beyond the singing of"Jubilee songs"? |
28056 | And yet who can speak at all of an agency so charming in other than words of warmest praise? |
28056 | Are we but one in heart? |
28056 | As a reflection of the terrible, the foul spirit of caste, then so largely prevailing, I regret that it is my duty to append the following elegant(?) |
28056 | But does all I have been saying apply to the colored people of New Orleans as well, almost, as to the others? |
28056 | But what is his history in particular? |
28056 | But what was the germ from which grew this remarkable concert- tour, and its splendid sequence, the noble Fisk University? |
28056 | Confucius said,"Wouldst thou know if a people be well governed, if its laws be good or bad? |
28056 | For, in this instance, why may not what has been be again? |
28056 | From"The Milwaukee Sentinel,"April, 1852:--"What shall we say? |
28056 | Have ye heard that music, with cadence sweet And merry peal, Ring out like the echoes of fairy feet O''er flowers that steal? |
28056 | Her first notes of''Where are now the hopes?'' |
28056 | How did this son of America become the equal of the greatest violinists known in Europe? |
28056 | If taste or fancy incline them to wind- instruments, why should they not try them?" |
28056 | In view of all this, may we not ask, Is the minstrel guild going back to the standards of its ancient and more noble days? |
28056 | ROMANCE.--"Alice, where art Thou?" |
28056 | Still, as will be seen hereafter, this complexional advantage(?) |
28056 | Still, who can now tell what the"music of the future"_ may_ be? |
28056 | That we were delighted and surprised? |
28056 | What have been the beginnings, the circumstances, that have united to produce a character so pleasingly and so harmoniously formed? |
28056 | What is music? |
28056 | What mind Conceived thee, what intelligence began, And out of chaos thy rare shape designed, Thou delicate and perfect work of man?" |
28056 | What remains to say after all these proofs of an incontestable talent? |
28056 | Who ever heard of an idiot possessing such power of memory, such fineness of musical sensibility, such order, such method, as he displays? |
28056 | canst thou tell the grief that in my heart doth dwell, For my love, we soon must sever; But say, love, ere we part, Wilt thou be mine forever? |
28056 | you say;''but can he express as well as he perceives?'' |
21056 | ''Floating after those women with their arms up? 21056 ''What is he doing?'' |
21056 | ''What is that fellow doing?'' 21056 ''What is the name of that hymn?'' |
21056 | And does that thought affect thee too, The thought of Sylvio''s death, That he who only breath''d for you Must yield his faithful breath? 21056 Ask''st thou how long my love will stay, When all that''s new is past? |
21056 | But ca n''t you buy a substitute for him? |
21056 | Has any misfortune happened to you? |
21056 | Have you any fault to find with it? |
21056 | How can yours, which is contrary to the rules, be the best? |
21056 | How could I get such a large sum? 21056 How has that happened?" |
21056 | I say so to myself, sometimes,said Schubert,"but who can do anything after Beethoven?" |
21056 | What''s the matter, child? |
21056 | What, Baptiste,said he,"have you burnt your opera? |
21056 | When will it be ready? |
21056 | Why not? |
21056 | ''Did I not say that I was writing the"Requiem"for myself?'' |
21056 | ''Would you like to know,''writes Leopold to Hagenauer, his host at Salzburg,''what Wolferl''s( a pet name for Wolfgang) dress is like? |
21056 | And they said,"How can we desist from that which is our duty, for fear of anything that man can do unto us?" |
21056 | And what did she choose? |
21056 | Delia, can I say How long my life will last? |
21056 | Do n''t you see? |
21056 | Is it not so?" |
21056 | On the evening of the 3d of June he asked his friend Göschen, with a smile,''Have you anything to say to your father? |
21056 | Says Liszt;"Who could have ventured to oppose his wish? |
21056 | The composer Haydn paid the singer a happy compliment suggested by this portrait when he said to Sir Joshua,"What have you done? |
21056 | Then Almachius, struck with terror and rage, exclaimed,"What art thou, woman?" |
21056 | This nettled Haydn, who suggested that the pupil(?) |
21056 | Upon the same evening, he set two more of Shakespeare''s songs to music,"Who is Sylvia?" |
21056 | Well, who knows but that this shoe may earn its weight in gold?" |
21056 | What is it?" |
21056 | What should I do there? |
21056 | What was to be done to supply what was wanted, so as to further the true understanding on all sides, and with it the ultimate success of the work? |
21056 | With this feeling, in which gleamed one last ray of cheerfulness, he wrote:''How will you receive me? |
21056 | You will pardon me, my dear master, wo n''t you? |
21056 | answered Haydn;"when shall we begin?" |
43214 | Is this a Man to recieve the treatment you now give me? 43214 --perhaps shed tears? 43214 But where Garrick is pleased to exercise his judgment, as in his own parts, by a fair trial of his opinion pro and con? 43214 Could this have been the Ode which, it is said, he composed as an exercise for his degree? 43214 Did I ever desire a shilling of all she got before and after or wish otherwise than that it had been ten times as much for your sake? 43214 Did I make the blunder or is it a joke, like Mrs. Cibber''s asking you how you could possibly spell King with a Q? 43214 Have I been studying the longitude? 43214 How can you imagine that I have an irresistible_ apathy_ to you? 43214 Next we find a Glee by Arne,The love rapture"; then his Catch,"Which is the properest day to drink?" |
43214 | O what is Music to the ear that''s deaf; Or a goose pye to him that has no taste? |
43214 | Risum tencatis amici? |
43214 | Risum teneatis amici? |
43214 | Risum teneatis amici? |
43214 | You ask me why I will not make use of your pupils?--Shall I tell you fairly? |
43214 | what Price or Gifts can both engage Here to remain, to save a sinking age? |
43214 | what notes enchant my Ears, Sweet as the musick of the Spheres? |
21542 | Are we to beg and cringe and hang on the outer edge of life,--we who should walk grandly? 21542 H''m,"say the corpulent,"why ca n''t they leave well alone and be comfortable?" |
21542 | Religion, love, and Music, are they not the three- fold expression of the same fact, the need of expansion under which every noble soul labours? 21542 What is Art?"] |
21542 | And are not all these so many aids to higher ends? |
21542 | And these electrons and protons-- what are they? |
21542 | And what of Art-- and Music? |
21542 | And why should not the same consideration apply to my mental outfit? |
21542 | CHAPTER IV SPIRIT A LIVING FACT"Is Music the inarticulate Speech of the Angels on earth? |
21542 | Could one say anything finer than this, and would not anything added to it but serve to spoil it? |
21542 | Divinity and spirit( are not the terms synonymous?) |
21542 | Does not the simple appreciation of music tend to unlock the doors of imagination and set it free in regions far removed from the gross? |
21542 | In this he may have been eminently successful, but what is the value of such success? |
21542 | Is any tune in itself"beastly"? |
21542 | Is it for man to tremble and quake-- man who in his spiritual capacity becomes the interpreter of God''s message,--the focus of Divine Light? |
21542 | Is it not obvious that Art has had but scanty share in designing our towns and manufactories? |
21542 | L. Rawson_ The point has been raised in discussion--"Is there such a thing as pure music?" |
21542 | On the other hand if the child never hears anyone sing, from where is the motor impulse to come? |
21542 | Or a voice of the Undiscovered Bringing great truths to the birth?" |
21542 | Or is it that the brain- recognition, to which we have alluded, decks out the tune in sordid or sweet trappings according to its own nature? |
21542 | So where is now our seeming- solid matter? |
21542 | Was there ever a mother who did not croon to her fretful child, and who did not rock her babe to sleep with rhythmic lullaby? |
21542 | Was there ever a time when no man sang? |
21542 | What can it profit a pupil if he gain the whole world of scales and lose his artistic soul? |
21542 | What is the most emotional of all the Arts? |
21542 | What is to be said to the singer of royalty ballads? |
21542 | Wherein is the particular glory of a top note, or the specific value of a compass that extends a note- and- a- half beyond that of anyone else? |
21542 | Which, then, is to receive the first consideration? |
21542 | Why should it be considered meritorious to be able to bang louder or to scramble more quickly over the keys than one''s competitors? |
21542 | Why should they? |
21542 | Will anybody''s clothes fit me: am I not likely to secure a better fit by being measured for my own? |
32248 | Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab and wounded the dragon? 32248 Eli, Eli, lama sabacthani?" |
32248 | *****"Then Jessie said,''The slogan''s dune, But can ye no hear them noo? |

32248 | And why prefer Acis to my embraces?" |
32248 | Are you Christian monks or heathen devils, To pollute this convent with your revels?" |
32248 | As it comes to an end he continues his song("Heavenly Tones, why seek me in the Dust? |
32248 | Before she enters she sings an aria, of a tranquil, dreamy nature("Whither away, my Heart? |
32248 | Do you not think that this might develop into a new style of cantata? |
32248 | For why, rejecting the Cyclop, dost thou love Acis? |
32248 | Huntsman, who gave thee the Diamond Ring? |
32248 | In the next two numbers, an adagio("To whom can I turn me? |
32248 | Is this a tavern and drinking- house? |
32248 | It is followed by Mephistopheles''serenade("Why dost thou wait at the Door of thy Lover? |
32248 | It is followed by the tenor recitative and aria,"Why hast Thou, O my God, in my sore Need so turned Thy Face from me?" |
32248 | Know ye not it is forbidden By the edicts of our foemen?" |
32248 | Mazeppa( 1862); The Page(?). |
32248 | O dinna ye hear The slogan far awa? |
32248 | Say, who can lift the deathly blight That covers king and lord and knight, To give them back to life and light, And awake them?" |
32248 | The MacGregors? |
32248 | The Queen appeals to him,"What seest thou, O King?" |
32248 | The cantata has no overture, but opens with a choral introduction("Where is the Maiden of Mortal Strain?"). |
32248 | The catastrophe accomplished, the work closes with the sad lament of Galatea for her lover("Must I my Acis still bemoan?") |
32248 | The chorus intervenes with a reflective number("What thinks she now? |
32248 | The chorus,"Why, my Soul, art thou vexed?" |
32248 | The last scene opens with a joyous chorus of the people("Say, have ye heard the Tidings of Joy? |
32248 | The musical setting of the question,"What sought they?" |
32248 | The next melody, an_ allegro vivace_,--"What see I? |
32248 | The next number is an effective alto solo("Art thou not it which hath dried the Sea?") |
32248 | The second part opens with the curse of the prefect, a very passionate aria for bass("What mean these Zealots vile? |
32248 | The second("Thou Delphic Rock, who can he be?") |
32248 | The sentiment of the latter is expressed by the following verse:--"What mean this revel and carouse? |
32248 | Then follows a full chorus beginning with male voices in unison("Why, my Soul, art thou cast down? |
32248 | Then who shall call the branches bare, When gems like those are sparkling there?" |
32248 | Wrapt not in Eastern balms, But with thy fleshless palms Stretched, as if asking alms, Why dost thou haunt me?''" |
29361 | And the father? |
29361 | Can it be? 29361 Do n''t you think,"said Bennett,"that his genius was the better for his poverty-- that he learned in suffering what he taught in song?" |
29361 | Do you think so? |
29361 | Ist es wahr? 29361 Now could anything be finer in its way than the Midsummer Night''s Dream music? |
29361 | Oh, yes,said Schumann;"will you sing it to us?" |
29361 | Shall we try? |
29361 | That''s nice of you, David,replied Schumann,"but as to Mendelssohn and me, who shall decide which of us is right? |
29361 | Wait a moment,said Mendelssohn; and going to the door he called softly,"Cecile, are you there?" |
29361 | What do you mean? |
29361 | What do you think of it, Bennett? |
29361 | What is it, sir? |
29361 | What was it? |
29361 | Yes; but what does stir them deeply? |
29361 | You are from England? |
29361 | You believe in a programme then? |
29361 | You have seen much of England, have you not, sir? |
29361 | And did I hear the strains of a vocal recital?" |
29361 | And has it pleased our God to lend His cheering smile in child or friend? |
29361 | At length I turned to Mendelssohn and said,"Is that part of the new work of yours you mentioned just now?" |
29361 | Can it be? |
29361 | Can it be? |
29361 | Dost thou wander through the bower, Wishing I was there with thee? |
29361 | Lonely, midst the moonlight''s splendour, Dost thou seek for me? |
29361 | May we enter, may we enter?" |
29361 | Means this, love will be requited? |
29361 | Mendelssohn and I differ about things, sometimes; but who could quarrel with him?" |
29361 | Mendelssohn dotes on you all, does n''t he, Bennett?" |
29361 | Now I no more can stay at home, The Maybells call me so: The flowers to the dance all roam, Then why should I not go?" |
29361 | Or, will hope by death be blighted?" |
29361 | Shall you mind if I scratch it through?" |
29361 | She turned to Schumann and said softly,"And how is Clara?" |
29361 | The flowers to the dance all roam, Then, why should I not go?"] |
29361 | Two male voices were heard declaiming in a sort of mock- melodramatic duet,"Are you at home, are you at home? |
29361 | When will it be ready?" |
29361 | You recall the verses? |
29361 | You''ll show him up, if he breaks his word, wo n''t you?" |
29361 | he said, smiling,"you like my Overture, then?" |
29361 | interposed Mendelssohn; and turning to me with a smile he said,"Will you allow Mr. Bennett to slander your countrymen like this?" |
29361 | ist es wahr?" |

54999 | WHO IS TO BE OUR SEVENTH HIGH- PRIEST? |
54999 | What agency produces life, starts and keeps in motion the machinery of our bodies, and places a soul behind our features? |
54999 | Why may genius do this, which is so uniformly fatal to the less gifted? |
17462 | ''Sire,''what do you mean? |
17462 | Did they not? |
17462 | Do you know that the Chevalier( Gluck''s title) has an Armida and Orlando in his portfolio? |
17462 | Do you not think I remember my sister, Marie Antoinette? |
17462 | Do you think the Greeks, whose manners we are endeavoring to depict, knew what a chaconne was? |
17462 | How much can you lose by his opera,the prince replied,"supposing it be a perfect fiasco?" |
17462 | How, sire? |
17462 | I asked him if he had met Byron in Venice? 17462 Well, what do you want?" |
17462 | Well? |
17462 | What wretch has dared to tamper with the great Beethoven? |
17462 | What''s the use? 17462 What, Baptiste,"the former said,"have you burned your opera? |
17462 | Where would they not go,answered Cherubini,"led by such a hero as you?" |
17462 | Where''s your music? |
17462 | Who has taken upon him to revise Gluck? |
17462 | You have written a mass? |
17462 | ''Papa,''he cried,''wilt thou be friends?'' |
17462 | A Milanese gentleman, whose father was very ill, met his friend in the street--"Where are you going?" |
17462 | After my son''s death, what have you not done to honor my son''s name and render it dear to posterity? |
17462 | Alluding to a performance of''Semiramide,''he said with a malicious smile,''I suppose you saw the beautiful decorations in it?'' |
17462 | And old Cherubini? |
17462 | Are we at a hunting- party? |
17462 | Are you not ashamed of such undeserved triumph?" |
17462 | Are you surprised that he should have forgotten it too? |
17462 | But what of the mean while? |
17462 | But why are you here, and what can I do for you?" |
17462 | Can we wonder that his work was a failure? |
17462 | Do n''t you know what love is?" |
17462 | Do n''t you remember the libretto of''Il Proscritto,''which you procured for me, and for which I have never composed the music? |
17462 | Mendelssohn many years afterward, writing to Moscheles in Paris, asked:"Has Onslow written anything new? |
17462 | One of the singers, every time he came to the passage, Ce mortel qu''on remarque Tient- il Plus que nous de la Parque Le fil? |
17462 | One question only was thought of:"Is he a Gluckist or Piccinist?" |
17462 | The clarionets were too much for him, but on seeing third and fourth horn- parts, he exclaimed:"What does the man want? |
17462 | The conversation turning upon German music, I asked him''which was his favorite among the great masters?'' |
17462 | The following retort shows the nobility of genius:"I, sir? |
17462 | The question was no longer,"Is he a Jansenist, a Molinist, an Encyclopædist, a philosopher, a free- thinker?" |
17462 | Then changing his tone:"Do n''t you know your voice is a goldmine that has not been fully explored? |
17462 | Trying in vain to reach a book on the table, he said:"Can I do nothing now in time?" |
17462 | What can I do to please you?" |
17462 | What would you call the man who would seek to assure you that you were superior to Raphael?" |
17462 | Who that has once heard can forget the thrilling power of"La Marseillaise"in Schumann''s setting of Heinrich Heine''s poem of"The Two Grenadiers"? |
17462 | Why will you not come to Konigsberg at the festival? |
17462 | Why, in other words, are you not in Berlin? |
17462 | he cried,"study anatomy; dissect; take part in horrible operations? |
26878 | But how about the post, sir? |
26878 | But how,rejoins the owner,"are you going to put studs along the joint inside without opening the instrument?" |
26878 | Can you not do the repair without? |
26878 | Does it require the''lining''--I think that is what it was called? |
26878 | Good, madam? 26878 How about that wormhole, James, that we were worrying over before the separation of the upper table?" |
26878 | I hope the treatment has not ruined the instrument, can it be restored, will it be of much value? |
26878 | Now, James, what do you propose doing? 26878 Shall I trace the other side, sir, and mark it down on the fresh wood so as to make it balance?" |
26878 | That will require careful work, James, think you can do it sufficiently neat and make the new wood match well? |
26878 | Then why did you bring it to me,says the chief,"if it is impossible for me to remedy the breakage? |
26878 | Well, what method would you propose for correcting all this and making a good restoration of it, James? 26878 Why, its back is not broken; where is the fracture?" |
26878 | --"Don''t you see, all the way down, it is quite loose and open?" |
26878 | ----?" |
26878 | Have you got everything ready for placing the bar?" |
26878 | Have you got the groove cleanly cut and routed out?" |
26878 | He asked me why I wanted"to do this all at once, instead of a part at a time? |
26878 | How did you manage that? |
26878 | I asked him how he had managed the rectification of the matter; did he take the upper table off? |
26878 | Is it of nice straight grain and from the stock of that old Italian?" |
26878 | The joint of the back too, and if there remained any evidence of system in working different to what we moderns would do? |
26878 | The owner at once asks,"Is the back in a very bad state?" |
26878 | There was another word underneath which I think was alum, that''s English, is n''t it?" |
26878 | What is to be done? |

32979 | Should I be deprived of their society because I happen to be a critic? |
32979 | The music, the setting, the costumes-- what else was left to celebrate? |
32979 | The pregnant line of the first act:_ Artiste?.... |
32979 | V What is to become of Mary Garden? |
32979 | Was Beethoven in a cold sweat when he composed the_ Ninth Symphony_ or was he merely angry? |
32979 | Was it Philip Hale who remarked that she sang_ Who is Sylvia?_ as if the woman were not on her calling list?... |
32979 | Was it Philip Hale who remarked that she sang_ Who is Sylvia?_ as if the woman were not on her calling list?... |
32979 | Was the French Jewess more electric? |
32979 | What can she do now? |
32979 | What could I tell you that you have not already known and felt in advance? |
32979 | What is there left for her to do? |
32979 | Who can hope to do it? |
32979 | Who, indeed, has not? |
32979 | Why not John Carpenter? |
32979 | Why not Leo Ornstein? |
32979 | Why not Strawinsky? |
32979 | Why not? |
32979 | Will there rise another singing actress in our generation to make us forget it? |
32979 | Will you believe me when I tell you that I was never less nervous?... |
32979 | Young singer though he was, he rebelled and asked,"Why not?" |
10957 | But now, who is the object of my love? 10957 But what did the angelic girl do when her guardian was gone? |
10957 | How will you receive me? 10957 MY DEAR AND BELOVED FRIEND:--You still, I hope, allow me to give you this name? |
10957 | Afterward Weber would groan,"Alas, why did I ever teach you the trick?" |
10957 | And who can comfort my Constanze if you do not stay here?" |
10957 | At my age, life requires a uniform equality; can this be found in our mutual relations? |
10957 | At that time his memory was no doubt enfeebled; he had forgotten the book, why did he not re- read it? |
10957 | At the end of the concert he was led to his room, where he sank down, a complete wreck in mind and hope, muttering:"What do you say to that? |
10957 | But I beg you not to think so, for how could I write so beautifully if I were dead?" |
10957 | But need we withdraw charity from one, to give to the other? |
10957 | But now, freed of their shackles, why do they not rush to each other''s arms? |
10957 | By every thought, in every action, in every moment of his life, there was but one feeling ever present--''How will she receive me?'' |
10957 | Can you alter the fact that you are not wholly mine, nor I wholly yours? |
10957 | Can you not comprehend, then, why I now hold for so important that which has always played but a subordinate part in my life? |
10957 | Could any one have woven a happiness about the life of that ferocious master of art, that pinioned, but struggling, victim of fate? |
10957 | Had he not said in this very letter,"love me as I love you, and then we shall never cease loving each other?" |
10957 | Had he not thence broken into French? |
10957 | He writes:"What should I do there? |
10957 | I do not wish to give up dreaming, for what mortal on the whole compass of the earth does not often dream? |
10957 | I must write to beg to know_ how you do_? |
10957 | I shall still live on,--marry perhaps some day,--who knows? |
10957 | I was a fool about Madame Lange, I own; but what is a man not when he is in love? |
10957 | Is not our love a truly celestial mansion, but firm as the vault of heaven itself?" |
10957 | It is wonderful, by the way, how many musicians have earned distinction as soldiers-- what, indeed, would the soldiers do without music? |
10957 | It runs:"What are you dreaming about, saying that you can be nothing to me? |
10957 | Liszt, that Hungarian rhapsodist in amours, was he not also an abbé? |
10957 | Madame Leitgeb tied my neck- cloth for me to- day-- but how? |
10957 | May I venture to say that, though I have not had the pleasure of seeing you, I already love and esteem you as the sister of so excellent a brother? |
10957 | Need we rob Pauline to pay Peter? |
10957 | Not one of the Webers, surely? |
10957 | On one occasion the singer Rochis, being in a condition that compelled a postponement of"Armide,"he demanded, angrily,"_ Qui t''a fait cela_?" |
10957 | Ought he not rather have said, the shells? |
10957 | She includes an anonymous poem on Mozart''s death, beginning:"Wo ist dein Grab? |
10957 | Surely you do not hate me so much that I may no longer be your friend, nor you mine? |
10957 | To this ill- timed reproof Mozart answered:"What do you mean by dreams of pleasure? |
10957 | Was it perhaps that she did not dare? |
10957 | What could I do? |
10957 | What is to be done?'' |
10957 | What means this? |
10957 | What reader can refuse this sympathy to one who felt and gave so much to one who craved sympathy as the very food of his soul? |
10957 | What will be the result? |
10957 | What will my own pearl say to be dissolved in the sour vinegar of domestic life, and swallowed by a bear of a husband?" |
10957 | Who can wish that he had been? |
10957 | Who that sincerely and truly loves can forsake his beloved? |
10957 | Who then remains? |
10957 | Whom now can I say it to? |
10957 | Why indeed need we judge harshly at all? |
10957 | Why this deep grief when Necessity decides?--can our love exist without sacrifices, and by refraining from desiring all things? |
10957 | Why, then, thus warm- hearted and clean- hearted, thus woman- loving, did he never marry? |
10957 | Wo duften die Cypressen?" |
10957 | Would not the mother of the girl herself have placed the worst interpretation on such conduct? |
10957 | Yet what is more pitiful? |
10957 | that that bright, pure, aspiring spirit should have been dulled by distress or torn with agony? |
10957 | to ears that heard? |
10957 | why must one fly from what he so fondly loves? |
21982 | ''Has age much to do with it, think you?'' 21982 ''Mein Gott!--if I do n''t, who de teifil does?'' |
21982 | I would ask how comes it that the bow was unknown to the Greeks and the Romans? 21982 Is that the Stradivari?" |
21982 | Well, gentlemen, shall I say one hundred and fifty guineas? |
21982 | ''And what will you do for the nation?'' |
21982 | ''Difficult do you call it, sir?'' |
21982 | ''Well, then, just at that very moment did you not-- with your jaws extended wide enough to swallow a sixpenny loaf-- yawn?'' |
21982 | ''What do you do now?'' |
21982 | ''What were you doing during the time of the tyrant?'' |
21982 | ''_ Ah, my poor Mr. Reade, the Bass of Spain was all but lost!_''"Was not this a true connoisseur-- a genuine enthusiast? |
21982 | And were not those countries better known to the ancients than to the modern until within the last three hundred years? |
21982 | Chanot rubbed his eyes, and asked himself was he dreaming? |
21982 | Cooke?" |
21982 | Did not Alexander the Great conquer India and Persia? |
21982 | Do Fiddlers always, or most generally, stand or sit according to the points of the compass?" |

21982 | How does he play?... |
21982 | How is this"Joseph,"unaccustomed to elbow his legitimate namesakes in the world of Fiddles, to maintain the character he has assumed? |
21982 | Is he about anything in the way of composition? |
21982 | Is it possible we can help talking of Haydn first? |
21982 | Is that true? |
21982 | It may be asked, then, if not from Stradivari, from whom did Guarneri receive instruction? |
21982 | Often is the question asked, What can there be in a simple Violin to attract so much notice? |

21982 | What does he play upon? |
21982 | What does he say? |
21982 | What fury Doth you to these dire actions hurry? |
21982 | What is it that causes men to treat this instrument as no other, to view it as an art picture, to dilate upon its form, colour, and date? |
21982 | What is the result of a careful investigation of every particle of evidence that we can glean? |

13291 | And do you want to be a musician when you grow up? |
13291 | And those over there? |
13291 | Can you sing at sight? |
13291 | Did n''t you say you could sing at sight? |
13291 | Did you like that, Franzerl? |
13291 | Does he know all about it? |
13291 | Is it for the opera? |
13291 | Really? |
13291 | Second violins in a Soviet state orchestra? 13291 Tell me,"said the reporter,"just between you and me-- where did Stoky get that juicy accent?" |
13291 | Then_ you_, will come with me to my home, which is quite near, will you not? |
13291 | Was this not geniality itself? 13291 Well my little fellow,"said the Capellmeister, drawing him to his knee,"can you make a shake?" |
13291 | What''s the matter with you? |
13291 | Whatever are you doing, Wolferl? |
13291 | Where are you going? |
13291 | Who are those people? |
13291 | Whose music did you play? |
13291 | Whose music was that you were playing? |
13291 | Why not,answered the mother;"you long ago promised to begin lessons with Nannerl; can she not start this very night?" |
13291 | Yes, indeed, Papachen, may I not learn to play the piano? 13291 A Canon in the Cathedral offered to teach him Latin, and tried to make a priest of him, saying,What do you want to study music for? |
13291 | After THAT performance? |
13291 | And what does Liszt do? |
13291 | But from where would the funds be forthcoming? |
13291 | But where was the money to come from? |
13291 | But who shall measure the father''s pride and satisfaction to have his boy return a real musical hero? |
13291 | Did it contain joy or sorrow? |
13291 | Do you remember your subject? |
13291 | Do you think that some day you will become organist of Busseto? |
13291 | Does anybody know his name?" |
13291 | He came smiling towards me and said in the most genial manner:"''We have had some little correspondence, have n''t we?'' |
13291 | How are my friends faring? |
13291 | How on earth was any one going to see what her friends were wearing? |
13291 | How would Leipsic behave towards this new and serious music? |
13291 | Is he really Leopold Antoni Stanislaw Stokowski? |
13291 | Is it a bargain?" |
13291 | One day the young hot heads exclaimed:''Why do we look idly on? |
13291 | Or is Stoky just plain Lionel Stokes, the sprout of a humble cockney family? |
13291 | Outside, his friend asked him:"Why did you drink that vile stuff?" |
13291 | The Maestro exploded:"What? |
13291 | The boy laughingly exclaimed,"Who could ever read such writing as that?" |
13291 | Was his father one Joseph Boleslaw Kopernicus Stokowski, a Polish emigre who became a London stockbroker? |
13291 | Was his mother an Irish colleen and the granddaughter of Tom Moore, who wrote"Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms"? |
13291 | Was it possible, they asked themselves, that a child could produce such beautiful music? |
13291 | What do you expect from your music? |
13291 | What do you say? |
13291 | What was to be done? |
13291 | When he came to the conclusion he complimented the lad and said:"But how is it that you have written a double canon on my subject?" |
13291 | When he returned home after this concert, his mother asked:"What did the people like best?" |
13291 | When the music ceased the Duke asked:"Who is that child? |
13291 | Whom do you think I should appoint?" |
13291 | Why am I doomed to be here so lonely and forsaken? |
13291 | XII FREDERIC CHOPIN What would the piano playing world do without the music of Frederic Chopin? |
13291 | Yes, you do? |
13291 | what are you doing? |
45705 | ''Tancredi''was your first opera which really made a great hit, maestro; how much did you get for it? |
45705 | And your opera,''Ermione,''which one of your biographers informs us you preserve mysteriously to bequeath to posterity-- what has become of that? |
45705 | Had you not the intention,Hiller asked,"of composing an opera on the text of''Faust?''" |
45705 | I am not joking in the least,returned Hiller;"how can you exist without composing?" |
45705 | Like her? 45705 New music?" |
45705 | Now which do you like best? |
45705 | ''Have you, then, your parts to accompany these pieces?'' |
45705 | ''It will warm them, perhaps,''I said to myself;''besides, what is the use of composing music, if one can not compose like Rossini?''" |
45705 | ***** Why, it may be asked, does Méry point out that Rossini''s music, in the year 1829, was applauded both by Royalists and Liberals? |
45705 | Are we at a hunting party? |
45705 | Dare you take such a liberty because you have paid two or three paoli for admittance? |
45705 | If Rossini could have produced anything finer than"Guillaume Tell,"who knows but that it would have been hissed? |
45705 | If they had begun to"embroider"before presenting the motive in all its simplicity, where would have been the proof of their inventive talent? |
45705 | Indeed, as to pure melody, who is to be the judge? |
45705 | Indeed, what melody, unless it be a reminiscence, is_ not_ an improvisation? |
45705 | Is it thus that you recompense a man who for so many years has produced you enjoyment? |
45705 | It may be thought that he at least got something for the copyright of the music? |
45705 | Literary honours have been paid to the great impresario by Scribe, who introduces him into one of his ingenious opera- books("La Sirène,"is it not? |
45705 | These remarks occur in Stendhal''s"Vie de Rossini,"page 263 of the 1864 edition( chapter XXXI.--Rossini se répète- t- il plus qu''un autre? |
45705 | What would Italian singers of the year 1813 have thought of"William Tell?" |
45705 | What, indeed, were Artemisia and Artaxerxes to them, or they to Artemisia and Artaxerxes? |
45705 | Why did you not make an opera of it? |
45705 | and how would their highly- decorative style have suited that simple, energetic, thoroughly dramatic music? |
45705 | he cried;"what does the man want? |
45705 | said Rossini,"would you have me without motive, without excitement, without a definite intention, write a definite work? |
45705 | the whole of it?" |
16431 | Are you not conducting the opera to- night? |
16431 | Have had it,Reissiger replied;"how''s that for smart conducting?" |
16431 | What more shall I write? 16431 Who would not yield who heard the heavenly maid?" |
16431 | ("Was ever poet so trusted?" |
16431 | But supposing that he did wish to teach us something in the_ Dutchman_, what on earth can it be? |
16431 | But was it? |
16431 | But what am I saying? |
16431 | Can we wonder that both sides were disappointed? |
16431 | Did they or the still mightier Beethoven dream of creating a Bayreuth? |
16431 | Do you happen to know anything definite about the state of the police inquiry? |
16431 | Finely endowed personalities like Mozart and Chopin did much: did they write a_ Ring_ or a_ Tristan_? |
16431 | For instance: does the general management propose to place my work upon the stage with the outlay indispensable to a brilliant effect? |
16431 | Had ever such a life so perfectly beautiful an ending? |
16431 | He begins a long expostulation:"How is it that the two people dearer to him than all the world have so betrayed his trust?" |
16431 | He replies that he can not answer Mark''s"Why?" |
16431 | How few men care more for themselves than for their stomachs? |
16431 | I have written to Herr Tichatschek, and commended myself to his amiability: shall I be able to count on this gentleman?" |
16431 | In vain Fricka expostulates, repeating( in homely phrase),"What about Freia?" |
16431 | In_ Hamlet_ the hero has been philosophizing to his heart''s content, when a funeral procession approaches--_ Hamlet_: What, the fair Ophelia? |
16431 | King Ludwig was supposed to do it; but where on earth was Ludwig''s money to come from if not out of the taxpayers''pockets? |
16431 | Krebs is clever-- so is Michalesi-- what more do you want? |
16431 | Not any casuistry or splitting of hairs can alter the plain fact--"Wirst du des Vaters Wahl nicht schelten? |
16431 | Not, surely, that one should not swear rash oaths in a temper? |
16431 | One asked,"Are you afraid?" |
16431 | Presently the shepherd looks over the wall and asks how the master fares, does he still sleep? |
16431 | The red dawn slowly breaks; Tristan hides Isolda with his cloak; Melot turns to Mark and says,"Did I not tell you so?" |
16431 | The salary lifted a burden off his shoulders for a while; and was he not appointed to the very post his idol Weber had occupied? |
16431 | The theme is, What is love, and how do we recognize it? |
16431 | They have only a few minutes to live and to love: why not speak? |
16431 | Wann wirst du, bleicher Seemann, sie finden? |
16431 | Was er versprach, wie?--dürft''es gelten?" |
16431 | Was it the only way to get rid of the lady-- a_ pis aller_?--a last remnant of the old- fashioned technique? |
16431 | Well, do I seem quite mad to you? |
16431 | What could possibly happen? |
16431 | What did the luxury amount to? |
16431 | What is the meaning of it all? |
16431 | What is the ordinary care about the so- called future of citizen life compared with the feeling that we are not tyrannized over in our noblest aims? |
16431 | What then? |
16431 | Which is the nearer approach to an ideal of noble manhood? |
16431 | Yet, I say, how can we feel surprise? |
16431 | and Tristan, bewildered, asks,"Where are we?" |
16431 | and, above all, what is any one called on to renounce? |
16431 | and, if so, in what sense? |
16431 | but Mark continues, putting in a dozen ways the same question,"Why, why have they done this?" |
16431 | or loses anything by not renouncing? |
16431 | was he to run the chance of failure by writing, or copying, one really expressive measure? |
16431 | who gains anything by renouncing? |
42097 | And is this your prize gavotte? |
42097 | And did you hear That little twitter- and- cheep, Breaking inordinately loud and clear On this still spectral exquisite atmosphere? |
42097 | And is it nothing to have achieved that this benediction should have been possible after such a life?... |
42097 | And the finale? |
42097 | But is it not all just a little too cruel? |
42097 | Did he not achieve in his"Third Leonora"something that no one has ever equalled or can ever hope to equal in the domain of the dramatic overture? |
42097 | Did he not individualise Leonora in music as well as Mozart had individualised the much less exalted characters of Donna Anna and Zerlina? |
42097 | Did he not make music in association with Goethe''s"Egmont"that seems to belong for evermore to that drama? |
42097 | Dr. Elgar is another composer whose music means something; but what chance is there for us to understand him? |
42097 | For musicians there are schools; but what school is there for critics? |
42097 | How then can one blame Elgar for not composing two in six months? |
42097 | I heard him once appeal to his wife;''Am I not always open to conviction?'' |
42097 | In a letter of 1881, he writes:--"How can we escape from Swinburne? |
42097 | In the meantime what about the truth and the critical currency? |
42097 | Is it Strauss''s deliberate intention to abolish rhythm? |
42097 | Johnstone is in the grand circle, what does he think?'' |
42097 | Perhaps the most absolutely perfect examples occur at the words"What are these wounds in Thine hands?" |
42097 | To what did this sensibility tend, what did it crave for? |
42097 | Was not Darwin known for many years as the preposterous eccentric who said men were descended from monkeys? |
42097 | What other pianist at the present day, we venture to ask, could give us such a thing? |
42097 | When he desires to shake off his habitually gloomy and brooding state, how does he set about it? |
42097 | Who ever heard a"satisfactory"performance of the"Missa Solennis"? |
42097 | Who will fill his place?" |
42097 | Why does he always play Liszt''s second Rhapsodie? |
42097 | Why does he never play Bach? |
42097 | Why does he not write a play? |
42097 | Why will he insist on using a pianoforte with so hard a tone? |
42097 | Would he add to the well- known saying,"_ Am Anfang war der Rhythmus_"the rider"_ aber jetzt nicht mehr_?" |
42097 | Yes, those bonfires which blaze up-- do you know what they are? |
39571 | Are you sure that this was true? |
39571 | Is that a man brought into the arena at the moment of death, like a dying gladiator, to delight the public with his convulsions? 39571 _ A la Giraffe?_"asked the salesman. |
39571 | A Signora Righetti, a singer, writing in 1823(? |
39571 | A certain M. Bergman, a( Swedish?) |
39571 | But did violin playing benefit? |
39571 | But how was Rossini likely to know the facts of the case? |
39571 | But how? |
39571 | But the question remains: did Paganini''s playing result in any permanent benefit to the art? |
39571 | But what are gorgeous monuments? |
39571 | Can one recall"the touch of a vanished hand?" |
39571 | Did Paganini influence the art of violin playing, and in what direction? |
39571 | Did he and Paganini ever meet? |
39571 | Does the true artist value the case more than the instrument? |
39571 | Everyone asked himself: What will he do with that? |
39571 | Had he a permanent influence, and if so, was it for good? |
39571 | How shall we account for this pitiful state of things, this gulf between the performer and the auditor? |
39571 | How was it that the devil and the violin came into relationship? |
39571 | In 1793 Paganini made his_ début_ in the great Theatre of Genoa( the Carlo Felice?). |
39571 | In the present day Paganini''s music is looked upon with pity not far removed from scorn; how did his contemporaries esteem it? |
39571 | Is it as easy to account for other traits of his character? |
39571 | Is it worth while at this distance of time to refer to the actual playing of Paganini? |
39571 | Is not Bach''s"Aria"played everywhere as a fourth string solo? |
39571 | Is there anything more beautiful than the tribute paid him by Leigh Hunt? |
39571 | Is there no brighter side to this picture? |
39571 | Or is it one risen from the dead, a vampire with a violin, who, if not the blood out of our hearts, at any rate sucks the gold out of our pockets? |
39571 | That aloofness, that scorn of the world, that hard bargaining:"Take me or leave me,"revealing callous indifference, was there no cause for all that? |
39571 | The importunities of the youth, aided by the prayers of the mother, at length prevailed, and in care of the elder brother afterwards Dr. Paganini(?) |
39571 | They engaged a young composer, Danna( Dana? |
39571 | What I want to ask is simply this:--upon what work, or whose work, was Paganini''s first concerto modelled? |
39571 | What kind of age was it that produced Paganini? |
39571 | Where then is the authority for the former? |
39571 | Why seek ye the living among the dead? |
39571 | Why? |
39571 | Would Berlioz write a solo for him? |
39571 | Would you believe it, Sir? |
39571 | [ 31] Now, what was the reason for exhuming the remains? |
39571 | [ 36] In the"Bow Bell''s Annual"for 1878(?) |
39571 | [ 40] Now was this the outcome of a subsequent conversation with Rossini, or an amplification of the"gossip"at Trouville? |

32980 | Advertising? |
32980 | And now, one question,says Mademoiselle,"Is your stage level, or does it slope towards the back? |
32980 | But where do the artists of the theatres usually live? |
32980 | Well, after all,answered my mother,"who knows where most of the great singers of today made their débuts?" |
32980 | What is this institution? |
32980 | What were they doing? |
32980 | _ Sind Sie satt?_They would ask each other gravely--"_Ich bin nicht satt!_"Meaning literally,"Are you full?" |
32980 | _ Sind Sie satt?_They would ask each other gravely--"_Ich bin nicht satt!_"Meaning literally,"Are you full?" |
32980 | A Cockney super, on his way out, remarked in passing me,"I s''y, wot price Destinn''s hat?" |
32980 | A porter caught sight of me, pushed back the other men on both sides of me, and said,"Get out of the loidy''s wy, cahn''t yer, Bill? |
32980 | And indeed why should one have? |
32980 | And then why stick slavishly to the bow tie of white cotton? |
32980 | And yet what is a young fellow in his position to do? |
32980 | Are n''t my things good enough for you?" |
32980 | But_ what_ would the Kaiser say? |
32980 | Can you flip them from the edge of the table into your own hand? |
32980 | Can you?" |
32980 | Could n''t the curls then be worn at least three times without being re- dressed? |
32980 | During the second year I was told one day:"This is Irene''s wedding day; will you say something to her?" |
32980 | F---- hailed him and said,"But where''s your horse?" |
32980 | For form''s sake he kept saying,"_ Sie verstehen mich, Fräulein?_"and when I answered"_ Ja_,"he was satisfied. |
32980 | He rushed at me and caught my wrists and shouted,"_ Was faellt Ihnen denn ein_"("What''s the matter with you?") |
32980 | How can they enter into the spirit of an opera when they are guessing whether that is a love phrase or an insult that the tenor is singing? |
32980 | I remember his singing,"And how would you get your ships along, Admiral, If your sails and oars were shot overboard?" |
32980 | I said once to F----,"Is Karl your servant?" |
32980 | I used to say to them,"But how can I ever get experience if you wo n''t give me a chance?" |
32980 | My sister said,"Why did you make up with rouge and not have the pallor we agreed upon?" |
32980 | One clever actor always made his greatest climax by suddenly throwing back his coat edge as he finished a"There, what do you say to that?" |
32980 | S---- was famous for his sharpness in choosing and trading horseflesh, and F---- used to call him on the''phone, saying"Is this Herr S----? |
32980 | Students often ask me"How did you get your first engagement?" |
32980 | The Director said at once,"How much did they offer you in----?" |
32980 | The Parthenon freeze-- is it not music? |
32980 | The old Dames call out to you,"Well, Madamsche'', nothing from me today? |
32980 | Then I thought"Flowers or no flowers?" |
32980 | There is a curious phrase for parents--"How are your_ Herren_ Parents?" |
32980 | There was a tank of real water on the stage, in which they loved to splash, but do you suppose a German goose was ever allowed to go near it? |
32980 | Therefore in our short talk before the second act, I told him my positions as nicely as I could, he saying to everything,"_ Aber warum? |
32980 | Unbecoming-- it was admitted--, but"man"did it in Paris and should Darmstadt lag behind? |
32980 | Warum?_"( But why, why?). |
32980 | Warum?_"( But why, why?). |
32980 | What example was he to the others? |
32980 | When I appeared on the stage, they all demanded"And what, pray, are_ you_ supposed to represent?" |
32980 | Where in America in a town of Darmstadt''s size could you see such a performance? |
32980 | Who longed for real, that is, one- side real, tents-- with steam escaping from a semi- hidden pipe through the top? |
32980 | Would I be so awfully kind as I was coming anyway, to help her out? |
32980 | Yesterday I bought a bunch of violets, and do you know why? |
32980 | endlich weiss man was est ist ein schoenes Weib i m Arm zu haben?_"("Ah! |
33168 | Are you sure? |
33168 | Do n''t you know me? |
33168 | Indeed, and of what is she guilty? |

14339 | And thou? 14339 And thou? |
14339 | Have I not been a pleasure and a comfort to you? 14339 All these things, are they true, you ask? 14339 Am I not there? 14339 And am I not ever about you, at home, in school, in church? 14339 And are they not already more_ luminous_ to you? 14339 And do you remember what we said luminous means? 14339 And dost thou know why? 14339 And how are blessings bestowed? 14339 And how do they get it? 14339 And how shall this be done? 14339 And is it not quite as plain to see that no one can get much if he gives but a few unwilling minutes to it? 14339 And what do we gain by pursuing it? 14339 And what is in thy heart when thou art before the glass? 14339 And what is music making our thoughts say? 14339 But how? 14339 Did we not say then that the first duty of a listener is to the one who speaks for his good? 14339 Did you ever notice how people seem willing to stop any employment if music comes near? 14339 Did you think when I read you that bit from the letter of Mendelssohn that all a composer has to do is to find in his heart just what he wants to say? 14339 Do you know how it is that people do great things? 14339 Do you know the inscription that used to be over the north gate of the city of Siena, in Italy? 14339 Do you know what a sad thing it was for the man not to increase that one talent which had been given to him? 14339 Do you think that is strange? 14339 Do you wonder that composers revere their art? 14339 Does this not teach us how thankful we should be to all those who live usefully? 14339 Dost thou know that there are in the world uncounted poor ones, children like thyself, who have not their daily bread? 14339 Dost thou not know that often, even with much trouble, thou canst not please thyself? 14339 Every one does it do you say? 14339 For if this does its part, for what more can you wish? 14339 From this can we learn to understand the great secret of it all? 14339 Have I not let you sing your greatest happiness? 14339 Have I not set you to singing and to dancing many and many times? 14339 Have you ever stopped to think of another matter: that all things about us, except the things that live, have been made by hands? 14339 How do we command? 14339 How do you imagine such a man was to his friends? 14339 If music gives us happiness, do we not in learning it gain a power to contribute happiness to others? 14339 May I go for the others some day? |
14339 | Nothing, do you say? |
14339 | Now more and more, and now will you give me up because I make you work a little?" |
14339 | Now what does vivacious mean? |
14339 | Now, is it not clear that this can come about only when we watch over our own thoughts and govern them as if they were the thoughts of others? |
14339 | Now, what can be the value of speaking about the Roman lady? |
14339 | Now, what have we learned about schools and school- tasks? |
14339 | Now, when it is all over, what is there of it? |
14339 | Sometimes it leads him to say very droll things; for instance:"Have you any sense in your head? |
14339 | That the plant was given more room? |
14339 | The fingers are drumming, twitching, twirling, closing, opening, doing a multitude of motions which mean what? |
14339 | The pupils of the great Viennese teacher of the piano, Theodor Leschetizky, say he asks no question more frequently than"Can you not hear?" |
14339 | Well, let us not stop to hear about the way he found, but he did get his request to the Emperor and, after a while, what happened do you think? |
14339 | What am I to do?" |
14339 | What are they all doing? |
14339 | What do we learn? |
14339 | What for? |
14339 | What relation is there between the music in the mind and the tones produced by the piano? |
14339 | What shall these truths teach us? |
14339 | When is the best time to lead water out of the spring, and music out of the heart? |
14339 | Where shall we look for music that it may be led out? |
14339 | Where, do you think? |
14339 | Why do you not make use of it then? |
14339 | Why? |
14339 | You can sing them quite loudly(_ can_ you sing them?) |
14339 | [ 37] It comes from two other words, does it not? |
14339 | [ 8] Do you wonder? |
14339 | not the hands alone but all we do and say? |
17461 | ''A musician? 17461 ''I hope, sir,''observed the doctor,''you do not include me among those who did injustice to your talents?'' |
17461 | ''Now, how gan you demand of me dat zilly question, you who are a musician and a man of science, Togder Peepbush? 17461 ''So, sir, I presume you are come to witness the trial of skill at the old round church? |
17461 | ''Well, and how do you find yourself, my dear sir?'' 17461 ''What, down- stairs?'' |
17461 | ''Where is he?'' 17461 ''Whom have you got there, then?'' |
17461 | And the Germans,he goes on to say,"what palm is due to them? |
17461 | Do n''t you see Handel''s wig? |
17461 | The old woman was the first to speak:''Any coaches or mourners coming?'' 17461 We both desired to correspond, but through whom? |
17461 | What do you think of the charming Billington''s picture? |
17461 | What do you wish? |
17461 | What is that? |
17461 | What is the meaning of all this? |
17461 | Where on earth could they be? |
17461 | Who are you? |
17461 | Whose music is it? |
17461 | Why not? |
17461 | ''Who holds up hands?'' |
17461 | After greeting Beethoven, I said:''Will you permit me to introduce my brother to you?'' |
17461 | Again, to you nod remember dat ubstardt buppy Senesino, and the goxgomb Farinelli? |
17461 | Again:"What is all this compared to the grandest of all Masters of Harmony-- above, above?" |
17461 | And for vot? |
17461 | Are not the pleasures of a transient, capricious passion widely different from the happiness produced by rational and true love? |
17461 | Arne?" |
17461 | Barth glanced through the composition, then sang it, and soon grew into such enthusiasm as to draw from Beethoven the expression,"No? |
17461 | But who is that gentlemanly man leaning over the chamber- organ? |
17461 | Do you not every day become more convinced of the truth of the little lectures I used to inflict on you? |
17461 | Handel?'' |
17461 | Have I not been kissed by the queen?" |
17461 | Hey, mine friendt? |
17461 | His father refused, saying,"How can you? |
17461 | Next, again, mine some- dimes nodtable rival Bononcini, and old Borbora? |
17461 | Oh first created Beam, and thou, great Word,''Let there be light,''and light was over all, Why am I thus bereaved thy prime decree? |
17461 | Pompadour refused to kiss him, saying:"Who is she, that she will not kiss me? |
17461 | Some of the above are real masterpieces; but, with the exception of''The waves of the sea rage horribly,''and''Who is God but the Lord?'' |
17461 | The characteristic reply was a Parthian arrow:"Vat te tevil I trow my money away for dat vich the blockhead vish''? |
17461 | The composer cried out, in a rage:"Do n''t you see he is lying? |
17461 | Then, laughing:''Berhaps, Mister Golley Cibbers, you may like to pote this to the vote? |
17461 | Vat gan it concern you whether I have one votdermans or two votd- ermans-- whether I bull out mine burce for to pay von shilling or two? |
17461 | Veil, mein friendts, andt how vags the vorldt wid you, mein tdears? |
17461 | Vogl, a fortnight afterward, sang it in the lower key to his friend, who remarked:"Really, that_ Lied_ is not so bad; who composed it?" |
17461 | What''s your name?" |
17461 | Who would grudge the moisture of his eyes if he could render it immortal in the strains of Schubert''s''Lob der Thrâne?''" |
17461 | Who would not battle with the iciest blast of the north if out of storm and snow he could bring back to his chamber the germs of the''Winterreise?'' |
17461 | With abrupt, passionate intensity of tone Schubert answered,"What''s the use of that? |
17461 | Would the solitary man at the opposite table assist us? |
17461 | and Beethoven immediately rushed off, seized hold of my brother, saying:''Am I such a savage that you are afraid to come near me?'' |
17461 | do n''t I know better as yourself vaat it pest for you to sing? |
17461 | do you think I have not dined?" |
17461 | if the trees at moonlight sang always so harmoniously?" |
17461 | is Handel dead?" |
17461 | when shall I feel it again in the temple of Nature and man? |
17461 | you do n''t mean to say that little blackamoor"( alluding to Haydn''s brown complexion and small stature)"composed that symphony?" |
11419 | ''Do you see that stout English woman in the proscenium? 11419 And do you mean to say that all my industry and simplicity, and all that I have done are quite lost upon your father? |
11419 | And he wrote her:"Did you not feel that I was there?" |
11419 | And speaking of types, what shall we say of this cloud of witnesses, bearing the most honoured name in music, the name of Bach? |
11419 | Another day Clara saw him taking his coffee with his sister- in- law, and she repeated his query:"Did you not feel that I was there?" |
11419 | As for Wagner''s heroism for his art, has there ever been anything like it? |
11419 | But how shall we blame or praise music for its effect upon Beethoven''s heart, in the face of the antipodal life of such a fellow bachelor as Händel? |
11419 | But love me well; do you hear? |
11419 | But speaking of violinists, what would become of them if there never had been makers of violins, especially such luthiers as the Amati? |
11419 | But who could estimate the value of the struggle in strengthening and deepening their love for each other and their worthiness for each other? |
11419 | Can there be any secret technical virtue in being kidnapped thus? |
11419 | Can we not say the same of the sentimental? |
11419 | Could God turn my eighteenth birthday into a day of mourning? |
11419 | Do I truly love her? |
11419 | Do you imagine that my heart did not tremble?" |
11419 | Do you realise what that means? |
11419 | Do you remember that two years ago on Christmas Eve you gave me white pearls and mother said then:''Pearls mean tears''? |
11419 | Do you truly love her and for all time? |
11419 | Even Minna seems to have been extremely fond of Liszt-- what woman was not? |
11419 | He gave this answer to the maid:"Who then is this Mam''selle Wieck? |
11419 | He wrote:"Am I not an expert accountant? |
11419 | How could she have expected I was to be shackled and fettered as any ordinary cold common mortal? |
11419 | How do the Germans compare? |
11419 | How is such an art as this to compel, or to deny anything or anybody? |
11419 | How many children did they want for compatibility''s sake? |
11419 | If I did not love her and did not wish to incite her further love for me, why did I call on her and how could all this end? |
11419 | If, by chance, either of these presentiments had proved true, who would have been satisfied with the explanation of mere coincidence? |
11419 | Is it not the man and the environment rather than the music that makes such a life what it is? |
11419 | It is this: Will you not devote a few moments of your life to acting as messenger between two parted souls? |
11419 | Once, she jokingly demanded why he had never dedicated anything to her, and the legend says he cried:"Why should I, when everything I write is yours?" |
11419 | Robert has 12,000 thalers, and shall he give his wife two- thirds?" |
11419 | Shall we not say that he was as truly influenced by music as Jacques de Wert? |
11419 | Shall we not, then, thank old Wieck for his fine lessons in psychical culture? |
11419 | True, our future is known only to God, but why should you foresee that you will be robbed of your career? |
11419 | Wait and ask each other,''Do I really love him? |
11419 | Was it from him that Beethoven caught his own fickleness along with so much of his musical manner? |
11419 | What could have been better for the purpose than to have made them parade before us in historic mardi- gras? |
11419 | What did she know of the divine right of passion, which I announce in the flame- death of the Walküre who has fallen from the grace of the gods? |
11419 | What do you expect? |
11419 | What next then, my dear Clara, what next? |
11419 | Which of these is fairly typical as a musician? |
11419 | Who can doubt that their progeny will be remarkable?" |
11419 | Who was she? |
11419 | Who would not love to hear that? |
11419 | Whose fault was it? |
11419 | Why did I do this? |
11419 | Why worry whether you live at Moscow or St. Petersburg? |
11419 | Will he( or she) share with me the joys and sorrows of life unto the grave?''" |
11419 | Would it not be a great pity if there were never such a gymnasium as parental resistance for lovers to exercise their hearts in? |
11419 | Would you believe it? |
11419 | and ca n''t we once in a while drink champagne?" |
11419 | do you understand that? |
18560 | Is it possible to play those tones on your instrument? |
18560 | And if so, by what means? |
18560 | And is it not equally true that Wagner''s style of music discourages singing of this sort, or, in fact, singing of any sort? |
18560 | Are not all my compositions dedicated to you?" |
18560 | At sight of these confused groups of chairs and tables Weber suddenly exclaimed,"Look here, Roth, does n''t that look like a great triumphal march? |
18560 | But one day she asked him why he never dedicated any of his compositions to her, whereupon he replied,"Why should I? |
18560 | Chopin not able to master the sonata form? |
18560 | Do you know his symphony in C? |
18560 | Does it make us less inclined to murder, stealing, lying, lust, avarice, anger, hatred, jealousy, dishonesty, cruelty, and other vices? |
18560 | Does it not bring many pictures before your mind?" |
18560 | Does it not seem incredible that the Italian operatic composers should have ignored such poetic means of deepening the emotional color of their songs? |
18560 | Does not this amount to an eloquent and universal presumption that musical people are generous and kind- hearted? |
18560 | Does the influence of music make us less inclined to perpetrate murder, suicide, or cruel practices? |
18560 | During the period of captivity the Israelites at first gave way to despondency, exclaiming,"How shall we sing the Lord''s song in a strange land?" |
18560 | For, what is the object of life? |
18560 | In what manner does music affect our moral character? |
18560 | Is it not about time to put an end to this absurd Jumboism in music? |
18560 | Is it not absurd to say that such an art has no moral value? |
18560 | Is it not asking a good deal of the Leipsic citizens to support the poor relatives and descendants of all the great men that city has produced? |
18560 | Is it only among the ancient and primitive people, and among the musically uneducated, that the divine art exerts an emotional influence? |
18560 | Is it to toil like a galley slave and never have any amusements? |
18560 | Is not such a pleasure worth cultivating, even if it involves some toil at first? |
18560 | Is not that remarkable? |
18560 | Is this a compliment? |
18560 | Now, why has the world been so slow in recognizing that Chopin stands in the very front rank of creative musicians? |
18560 | Of course it is not"beautiful;"but is that a reasonable objection? |
18560 | On the other hand, have you ever heard anyone compare the voices of Lehmann, Materna, Sucher, or Malten to a bird''s voice? |
18560 | Or are you, perhaps, like myself, who have all my life placed vocal music below instrumental, and never considered it a great art? |

38223 | In a letter to Mendelssohn, dated January 17, 1840, Schubring says:"How about''Elijah''? |
38223 | Indeed, Jeremiah seems to use the word in that sense, but do we not use it exclusively in another sense? |
38223 | Is this the inference you also draw from the subject, and is this the sense in which you conceived an affection for it? |
38223 | It is in the slow movement, the passage of Isaiah liii., 1,''Aber wer glaubt uns''rer Predigt?'' |
38223 | It is very difficult to fathom a composer''s mind; but what_ can_ be the connection between"torches"and the key of F minor? |
38223 | Not to me certainly, who like to shake my English friends by the hand the sooner the better-- but to all others? |
38223 | Now, could you not say''_ call His name_,''instead of''call upon His name?'' |
38223 | Or would the music to the''Midsummer Night''s Dream''be the thing? |
38223 | Say, who art thou that despairest, and forgettest the Lord thy Maker; who hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the earth''s foundations? |
38223 | Seriously speaking, must he appear at the ascension as a prophet, or can he do so still as a youth?) |
38223 | Such a triumphant first performance has, I should think, seldom been known...."And where was your cousin Edward[ Bache] all the time? |
38223 | The first reference to him is in 1 Kings xix., 19[? |
38223 | What if an instrumental interlude( short) gave time for the journey? |
38223 | What is to become of my''Elijah''then? |
38223 | Why should I not feel a similar pleasure in hearing that his last work is being so fully appreciated in England? |
38223 | You know, do n''t you, that I am not ungrateful? |
38223 | You want something, whether new or old, for the Friday: would the''Walpurgisnacht''do for it? |
38223 | [ 39] Is it as scriptural to say''the men''as''the man''? |
38223 | [''Who hath believed our report? |
38223 | and then--[ Music: art thou come to call my sin, to call my sin to remembrance, to slay my son, to slay, to slay my son?] |
38223 | and what could the chorus say? |
38223 | or is this inadmissible, as in the same chapter he is described as a''bald head''? |
11633 | But who thy father? |
11633 | Whence art thou? |
11633 | Who is the foe that assails us? 11633 Who sent thee here?" |
11633 | ''Tis Kundry, wretched Kundry, mad old Kundry-- Perhaps she brings us urgent news? |
11633 | And Gurnemanz cried out:"Who shot the swan? |
11633 | And Klingsor asked:"What has there come to thee? |
11633 | And Klingsor spake again:"Awakest thou? |
11633 | And Klingsor spake with a great voice of scorn:"Thou wouldst amend the mischief thou hast done?... |
11633 | And Parsifal in sudden sorrow cried:"What have I done to let this curse go on? |
11633 | And Parsifal spake slowly to himself:"Was all this nothing but a passing dream?" |
11633 | And Parsifal, still standing high aloof, Spake courteously:"Didst thou call to me And name me who am nameless unto all?" |
11633 | And art thou but another wanton flower That bloomest in this evil garden here?" |
11633 | And can it be that now the trials are ended And peace has come, and holiness at last? |
11633 | And eagerly the herald asked:"What cure is this, And who the healer that can save the King?" |
11633 | And how didst thou come here, and whence, and why?" |
11633 | And on his asking,"Whence this healing balm?" |
11633 | And one spake up:"Why lies that woman there,-- A foul and snarling thing on holy ground? |
11633 | And pacified they ask:"Thou comest here And wilt not harm us, but be kind to us?" |
11633 | And straight he asked:"And shall I see the King?" |
11633 | And the King asked:"Whence came this balsam flask, So strange in form, and who has brought it here?" |
11633 | And this poor swan, so mild and beautiful,--- How could thy heart determine on such deed? |
11633 | Are these my thanks, that from the sleep of death I waked thee?" |
11633 | Art thou astray, and may I give thee aid?... |
11633 | Besides, dost thou not know what day this is? |
11633 | But Gurnemanz, who knew her well, replied:"What harm has ever come to you from her? |
11633 | But Kundry-- for''t was she-- cried out in grief:"O heart, that feelest for Amfortas''woe, Hast thou no feeling for my dire distress? |
11633 | But tell me, what has passed since last we met? |
11633 | But what care I, you puny, craven race? |
11633 | But who is this That now I see approaching through the woods And drawing slowly near the holy spring? |
11633 | But, do I err, this place seems somehow changed From what it was in days of yore? |
11633 | Can blindness mean impurity and sin, And may it be that I am all deceived,-- My way all lost, my hopes forever gone?" |
11633 | Didst thou not hear her sorrowful lament When thou didst roam too far or late from home? |
11633 | Didst thou not marvel at its queenly flight, And feel a reverence in thine inmost soul? |
11633 | Do I not treat thee with a better grace, And use thee for the mightiest of deeds? |
11633 | Dost thou not see how wicked is thy deed?" |
11633 | From whence then hast thou come? |
11633 | Has some one else awaked thee from thy sleep?" |
11633 | Hast thou gone? |
11633 | He listened for awhile, then spake:"What moans From yonder thicket come? |
11633 | How fares my Lord Amfortas''health to- day? |
11633 | I only wait for Him,--''_ By pity''lightened._''Was not this the word?" |
11633 | No word for me, but bowing of thy head? |
11633 | Not know the day? |
11633 | Or must I die, denied the saving vision?" |
11633 | Say, Kundry, wake and answer me this word? |
11633 | Then Gurnemanz:"Hast thou no word for me? |
11633 | Then Gurnemanz:"Too true thine every word, But tell me, pray, for whom thou here dost seek?" |
11633 | Then asked the boy in sweetest innocence:"And who are wicked, tell me, and who good?" |
11633 | Then asked the lad:"What is this thing, the Grail?" |
11633 | Then did they chide him:"Art afraid of us, Or art thou also cold, as well as coward? |
11633 | Then on they moved, and softly spake the lad:"I scarcely move, and yet I seem to run,-- What is the meaning of this strange new thing?" |
11633 | Then said the King:"Without our word? |
11633 | Then spake the King:"O Kundry, restless, strange, Am I again thy debtor for such help? |
11633 | Thou camest here to save the King from sin, Why not save me and bring me my redemption? |
11633 | To whom spake Gurnemanz:"What mean''st thou, boy, By such a cruel, shameless deed as this?" |
11633 | Wagner mentions that this Scripture was often in his mind when writing Parsifal--"Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? |
11633 | Were not the woodland creatures kind to thee,-- Did not the sweet birds sing their songs to thee, When first thou camest to these leafy haunts? |
11633 | What better hast thou found than me and mine?" |
11633 | What drew thee here but the desire to know?" |
11633 | What have I done, O sweetest, dearest, gentlest mother mine, That I thy son shouldst bring thee to thy death? |
11633 | What have I yet remembered to my good? |
11633 | What heathen darkness hath been thine abode That thou rememberest not this holy day,-- The ever- hallowèd Good- Friday morn? |
11633 | What saw I? |
11633 | What tempted thee to shoot the fatal shaft, And slay the bird and grieve the loving King?... |
11633 | What will it help,--or this, or e''en the bath? |
11633 | Where hadst thou been in those dark evil days,-- At home, afar, awake or fast asleep,-- When our good King did lose the holy Spear? |
11633 | Where has he wandered since that luckless day? |
11633 | Where is my dear Gawain?" |
11633 | Who calls me by that gentle mystic name, That once my mother named me in her dreams?" |
11633 | Who dared to wound him with the sacred Spear?" |
11633 | Who knows? |
11633 | Why have I wasted all these precious years In wandering, while here was deepest woe? |
11633 | Why should I turn again to dreadful life? |
11633 | Why were you not at hand to give us help?" |
11633 | Wilt thou unveil the Grail and bid me live?... |
11633 | Yet dare I sleep? |
11633 | what wouldst thou do to save thy soul? |
20318 | Brush? |
20318 | Did you ever hear me do a storm? |
20318 | Did you meet Michelangelo in Rome? |
20318 | Did you see Michelangelo while you were in Rome? |
20318 | Do I like music? 20318 Do you like music?" |
20318 | Do you think God is proud of a work like that? |
20318 | Does he play? |
20318 | Does it not seem,said he,"as if he had the iron cross- pole still between his legs? |
20318 | Grazia, dear, here is the little boy we saw the other day-- you remember? 20318 How much for your opera?" |
20318 | How now, Dick Savage? |
20318 | Me? |
20318 | Shall I live to see the anniversary of her death? |
20318 | Think''ee so? |
20318 | Why do n''t they tune up at home, or behind the scenes? |
20318 | Why do you play so fast, dear Johannes? 20318 Would you like to meet him?" |
20318 | *****"Musicians?" |
20318 | Am I a miserable egotist, possessed of stupid vanity? |
20318 | And then, do you not remember that expression of Renan''s,"The unconscious coquetry of the flowers"? |
20318 | And those tear- stained eyes-- have they not seen sights of which no tongue can tell, nor tongue make plain? |
20318 | And why not? |
20318 | And yet is that peculiarly wonderful? |
20318 | As to the question,"Should women propose?" |
20318 | Behold the face of Ludwig Beethoven-- is there not something Titanic about it? |
20318 | But this afternoon we are playing Beethoven''s music-- will you oblige me?" |
20318 | But who ever lived fuller and applied himself to hard work more conscientiously in order to make his point? |
20318 | But wo n''t you tell us your name?" |
20318 | Can you not close your eyes and see them-- the mighty giant of fourscore, with his whitened locks, and the slight, slender, handsome boy? |
20318 | Did the young heart anticipate this? |
20318 | Do you know that I am making great strides in water- colors? |
20318 | Do you wonder that people go distracted over him? |
20318 | Express what I think or feel, or what you feel? |
20318 | H. R. Haweis_ GEORGE HANDEL"Did you meet Michelangelo while you were in Rome?" |
20318 | Had a string of the violin really snapped? |
20318 | Had he learnt these complimentary bows from an automaton, or a dog? |
20318 | Have you never shared the mocking shame and biting pain of a drunkard''s household? |
20318 | How shall I live? |
20318 | In the time of the Crusaders, the tired children would ask at night- time, when the tents were pitched,"Is this Jerusalem?" |
20318 | Is that a man brought into the arena at the moment of death, like a dying gladiator, to delight the public with his convulsions? |
20318 | Is that the entreating gaze of one sick unto death, or is there lurking behind it the mockery of a crafty miser? |
20318 | It was about this time that Zelter threw out the hint that he was going down to Weimar to see his friend Goethe-- would Felix like to go? |
20318 | Knowing these things, do we wonder at the question of long ago,"Who is my mother, and who are my brethren"? |
20318 | Lasting fame and a name that never dies? |
20318 | No one ever asked this man,"Kind sir, are you anybody in particular?" |
20318 | Or is it one risen from the dead, a vampire with a violin, who, if not the blood out of our hearts, at any rate sucks the gold out of our pockets? |
20318 | Robert''s mother believed in her boy-- what mother does not? |
20318 | Room for many passengers? |
20318 | She kept to her bed merely to be warm; and then if one did n''t move around much, less food was required-- don''t you see? |
20318 | Take it home to yourself-- haven''t the best things and the worst that have ever been said about you, been expressed by the same person? |
20318 | The calamity of blindness did not much depress him--"What matters it so long as I can hear?" |
20318 | This instinct that makes men long to live again in the lives of their children-- is it reaching out for immortality? |
20318 | This is my busy night-- do you not see?" |
20318 | Towards the exiled Heine, Mendelssohn had only a patronizing pity--"Why should any man offend the people in power?" |
20318 | Was Irving''s action art? |
20318 | Was that sphere the sun? |
20318 | What could have been more complimentary to college striplings? |
20318 | What finer than that the"Messiah"should give deliverance? |
20318 | What if the critics were really right? |
20318 | What more can any man desire? |
20318 | Who shall expound the mystery of the lyre? |
20318 | Who was it that I heard say once, that years ago he saw Clara Schumann sitting in tears near the platform during one of Liszt''s performances? |
20318 | Why do you come to hear it?" |
20318 | Without mother- love how would the cross- grained, perverse little tyrant ever survive the buffets which the world is sure to give? |
20318 | Yet Achille always stoutly maintained the distinction-- but what boots it, since he could not play his father''s violin? |
20318 | Yet for quite a number of years after their marriage, Madame Schumann was at times asked this question:"Is your husband musical?" |

39392 | Not once, but many times, I have been asked"Why do n''t you write your reminiscences, Lytton?" |
39392 | One of the Japanese nobles asks,"Who are you?" |
39392 | Only the night before he died, while we were in our dressing- room, he surprised me with the question,"How would you like to die, Harry?" |
39392 | Or between his studies of the engaging and more than candid_ Lord Chancellor_ in"Iolanthe"and that pretentious humbug_ Bunthorne_ in"Patience"? |

39392 | When at the close of"Yeomen"_ Elsie_ is wedded to_ Fairfax_, does_ Jack Point_ die of a broken heart, or does he merely swoon away? |
39392 | Which of the two will be last to go-- The Gondoliers or the latest show?" |
39392 | You will remember that in"The Yeomen"poor_ Jack Point_ puts his riddle,"Why is a cook''s brainpan like an overwound clock?" |
39392 | are n''t they?" |
39392 | he whispered anxiously, his nose still to the floor,"What have I done?" |

40644 | The young man likes musicsaid Brahms to the landlady,"will he be able to hear a little pianoforte playing or singing here sometimes?" |
40644 | ''And have you told him that he very often lies when he opens his mouth?'' |
40644 | ''And where are you going to lead us to- night, Herr Doctor?'' |
40644 | ''And who are ye?'' |
40644 | ''Are you expecting Hausmann?'' |
40644 | ''But what did Brahms say when he found he was causing such trouble?'' |
40644 | ''Do you know if he is at home?'' |
40644 | ''Does Avé often go to see you? |
40644 | ''Have you a great deal too much money, or may I send some? |

40644 | ''How is your great brother?'' |
40644 | ''I have heard there is an empty flat here, and have come to look at it,''responded Frau Truxa indifferently;''but perhaps it is not to let?'' |
40644 | ''Is this your pianoforte- teacher''s pace?'' |
40644 | ''It is assumed that they go away,''replied Bulthaupt;''do you mean to say that you wish actually to see them come out again on to the stage?'' |
40644 | ''Saul among the prophets?'' |
40644 | ''So you want to brag with them?'' |
40644 | ''We have seen Brahms and Joachim together again, both in full vigour; may we not hope for a prolongation of this happy state of things?'' |
40644 | ''What do you mean?'' |
40644 | ''What have you been about that you have, so to say, run away? |
40644 | ''What is it, Brahms? |
40644 | ''What is your_ tempo_?'' |
40644 | ''What shall we have next?'' |
40644 | ''Will you not join us one day, Herr Doctor? |

40644 | By- and- by, taking up a copy of the''Four Serious Songs,''he said:''Have you seen my protest? |
40644 | Could one compare the various works of Michael Angelo, Raphael, Beethoven, Mozart when they were at the height of their powers? |
40644 | Could the marriage state be happy except under the rarest combination of circumstances? |
40644 | Could you lend me the volume for a little while? |
40644 | Every time I write I forget to ask about Fritz.... Is he very industrious? |
40644 | Has he told you anything particular about Stockhausen? |
40644 | How many drops of perspiration may adhere to these note- heads?'' |
40644 | I wished to ask you and Widmann if you would not like, as I should, to go for a little while to Italy? |
40644 | I wonder if it could have been because he was pleased with my little Paula? |
40644 | If not my sweetheart, what care I for dancing? |
40644 | Loved one, without thee what were there in pleasure? |
40644 | Loved one, without thee what were there in pleasure? |

40644 | O death, where is thy sting? |
40644 | Of what avail is the perfect, clear beauty of the principal subject in its thematically complete form? |

40644 | The tall figure, bent forward and lost in tones and memories; was it not the tragic muse herself and was she not sounding a song of fate? |
40644 | To what purpose? |
40644 | Were there children of the widow''s first marriage to be provided for? |
40644 | Who could the wife- elect be? |
40644 | Who from the fulness of love Hath drunk but the hate of men? |
40644 | Who is ill?'' |
40644 | Who knows whether a Riehl may not turn up in 1950 to beplutarch them as maestrinelli? |
40644 | Who shall say that even at this time he had not a presentiment that before very long he was to follow? |
40644 | Who was to keep the rooms in order and see to the very few of Brahms''daily requirements which he was not in the habit of looking after himself? |
40644 | Would it not be possible to arrange his affairs quietly without having to speak about them with strangers? |
40644 | Would she make Jakob happy? |
40644 | You are probably rid of your guests again now and will be able to find a moment of time to write to me? |

39384 | Why? |
39384 | And now I might as well stop, for why attempt to describe what is, in fact, indescribable? |
39384 | But till I have the words, you would not wish me to be idle-- even if it were possible for me to be so? |
39384 | But to speak seriously, your child is scarcely six months old yet, and you can think of anything but Sebastian? |
39384 | But what does it matter? |
39384 | But why should Clauren be effaced from the literature of the day? |
39384 | Dear Rebecca, I went yesterday to the Chambre des Députés, and I must now tell you about it; but what do you care about the Chambre des Députés? |
39384 | Did you ever hear a G horn take the high G without a squeak? |
39384 | Do you mean to play something during the intervals to these people? |
39384 | Do you not think that this might develop into a new style of Cantata? |
39384 | Does not this notion please you? |
39384 | Fortunately you already know this valley, so there is no occasion for me to describe it to you; indeed, how could I possibly have done so? |
39384 | Has Zelter expressed this wish to you, or do you only imagine that he entertains it? |
39384 | Have you hitherto composed nothing on a greater scale; some wild symphony, or opera, or something of the kind? |
39384 | Have you read them? |
39384 | Having seen the pictures in the Louvre in the morning, I went to Baillot''s; so what chance is there of living in retirement? |

39384 | He supposed that I must have seen St. Peter''s? |
39384 | How can I describe the scene? |
39384 | How can I even try to describe it to you? |
39384 | How can a traveller with any experience possibly accept of a brother, who is also an ensign, in the place of a charming mother and sister? |

39384 | I always fancy that the right man has not yet appeared; but what can I do to find him out? |
39384 | I declare to heaven that I am become quite tolerant, and listen to bad music with edification; but what can I do? |
39384 | I really can not compose a tolerable song here, for who is there to sing it to me? |
39384 | If a person be incapable of feeling true greatness, I should like to know how he intends to make_ me_ feel it? |
39384 | In a dark little hole on the ground floor, overlooking a small damp garden, where my feet are like ice, how can I possibly write music? |
39384 | In the forenoon? |
39384 | Is it prejudicial to any one that he should remain where he is? |
39384 | Is this new, arrogant, overbearing spirit, this perverse cynicism, as odious to you as it is to me? |
39384 | Of course you do n''t care for all this; but what of that? |
39384 | Perhaps very early in the morning? |
39384 | She certainly, as she acknowledges, learned much from Fodor; but why should not another German in turn learn the same from Sonntag? |
39384 | So when am I to compose? |
39384 | So you have had an_ émeute_ in Berlin? |
39384 | Tell me, Fanny, do you know Auber''s"Parisienne?" |
39384 | The word"Pater"with a little flourish, the"meum"with a little shake, the"ut quid me"--can this be called sacred music? |
39384 | Then[ Music: De- us me-- us, ut quid me de- re- li-- qui- sti? |
39384 | There is certainly no false expression in it, because there is_ none_ of any kind; but does not this very fact prove the desecration of the words? |
39384 | They urged another young man to join them, and when he said that he did not know how to sing, his friend rejoined,"Qu''est- ce que ça fait? |
39384 | This struck me as very remarkable, for in England they would have spoken exactly in the same way of Italy; but_ quo me rapis_? |
39384 | Unluckily the man replied,"I am General Ertmann: what is your pleasure?" |
39384 | What can be more grand or superb? |
39384 | What did it all mean? |
39384 | What is it that shines through the leaves, and glitters like gold? |
39384 | What the deuce made you think of setting your G horns so high? |
39384 | When I went at an early hour to take leave of Goethe, I found him seated beside a large portfolio, and he said,"So you are actually going away? |
39384 | When do you mean to send me something new to cheer me? |
39384 | Who can at such a moment think either of writing or music? |
39384 | Who can wonder that I find it impossible to return to my misty Scotch mood? |
39384 | Who can write or think with any degree of warmth? |
39384 | Who knows, however, whether we may not come here together in future years, and then think of this day, as we now do of former ones? |
39384 | Who would not have been confused by all this? |
39384 | Why pursue the subject? |
39384 | Why should I even attempt to portray it? |
39384 | Why then make them sound like a mere formula? |
39384 | _ Apropos_, shall I be lithographed full length? |
39384 | _ I._ Are you sure they came from Ischl? |
39384 | _ Per Bacco!_ if you had the inclination, you certainly have sufficient genius to compose, and if you have no desire to do so, why grumble so much? |
39384 | and do you read what is really good with less interest? |
39384 | and that, too, an_ émeute_ of tailors''apprentices? |
39384 | can you not procure the words of some songs, and send them to me? |
39384 | cried I; what name?--Don''t know.--Pereira? |
43411 | How so? 43411 How so?" |
43411 | What do you think of this idea? |
43411 | Who do you think,he writes to Wolfgang( December 29,1777),"is appointed organist at the Holy Trinity? |
43411 | You might certainly manage to live alone in Munich,he wrote( October 6, 1777),"but what good would this do you? |
43411 | ( 23) Father: What are you doing? |
43411 | ( 378) heard the other I asked,"Who is that?" |
43411 | ( 392) since you were here before?" |
43411 | ( 397)"But will she be able to learn it?" |
43411 | ( 412) father was justified in writing as follows( February 23, 1778) So you intend only to give lessons as a favour, do you? |
43411 | After all, it is much easier to play fast than slow; notes can be dropped out of passages without being noticed; but is that desirable? |
43411 | After the( violin?? |
43411 | After the( violin?? |
43411 | And what said the father? |
43411 | And why was it, the father must have asked himself, that Wolfgang was so suddenly blind to his own interests, and forgetful of his duty to his family? |
43411 | And you were thinking of leaving Mannheim on the 15th, and have been making expeditions to Kirchheim? |
43411 | Are you afraid that I shall come to grief on the organ?" |
43411 | But how shall we be treated in Salzburg? |
43411 | But what kind of playing at sight is that? |
43411 | But what more can I wish for you than I am always wishing? |
43411 | But your father is still at Salzburg?" |
43411 | Che sarà, giusti Dei, questo ch''io provo? |
43411 | Do you, indeed, read my works and encourage your friends to do the same? |
43411 | Does my last poem,"Der Christ,"meet with your approval? |
43411 | Have you the one which I composed last year, Christus begraben? |
43411 | He said directly:"What is your butter- fiddle about?" |
43411 | He took snuff and said,"I should like it, but would it not do her harm to have two masters?" |
43411 | He was pleased to remember all about it, and asked me:"How has the gentleman been all this time?" |
43411 | How long shall you remain here?" |
43411 | I did not give him time, and said,"Why should you read the letter now? |
43411 | I only said,"What do you think, Herr Stein? |
43411 | In the meantime, through the exertions of his friends, a public concert was given on October 22:-- What do you think came next after the symphony? |
43411 | In what does the art of playing at sight consist? |
43411 | Leo( 1694- 1756? |
43411 | Leopold Mozart announces all this to Hagenauer, with the question:"What do you think of that for a Kapellmeister''s pay?" |
43411 | Let me ask you whether Wolfgang has not forgotten to go to confession lately? |
43411 | Lætari, iocari Fruique divinis honoribus stat, Dum hymen optimus Tædis et floribus Grata, beata Connubia iungit et gaudia dat? |
43411 | May I add one word on the musical criticism contained in my work? |
43411 | Mozart writes to his sister from Vienna( July 4, 1781):"Is it not about time for the shooting supper? |
43411 | Nine days without a play, and on the tenth we get a De profundis-- What? |
43411 | Now, have I not reason enough to remain here and await the issue? |
43411 | On account of their brevity? |
43411 | On account of their church style? |
43411 | Once, seeing himself surrounded by a fashionable assemblage, he said before he began:"Is Herr Wagenseil here? |
43411 | Ought I to leave now that so important a step is taken? |
43411 | Rose-- who was three rooms off and busied with the linen-- had finished, she came in and said to me,"Is it your pleasure that we begin?" |
43411 | Second question:"How did he behave to great people when they admired his talent and proficiency in music?" |
43411 | So it is to be hidden away from the eyes of the world; for what could manifest it more openly than a public performance in a large and populous city? |
43411 | The Empress asked him why? |
43411 | The rapidity allows the right and left hand to be used indiscriminately: but should that be so? |
43411 | Third question:"What was his favourite study?" |
43411 | This is meant to be pathetic? |
43411 | We have to produce two Oratoria every Lent, and where are we to find subjects enough? |
43411 | Were you kept too close?" |

4386 | Martial yet courtly:do not these two epithets almost define the Polish character? |
4386 | After having chanted the splendor of glory, may he not sing of grief? |
4386 | After having rejoiced with the victorious, may he not mourn with the vanquished? |
4386 | Among the varied feelings with which so many noble hearts throbbed high, were there indeed many which never incurred this fearful malediction? |
4386 | And may not the artist revenge the man? |
4386 | Besides, why should he have tasked himself to scrutinize the beautiful sites in Spain which formed the appropriate setting of his poetic happiness? |
4386 | But how could they have known that his real, though rare attachments, were so vivid, so profound, so undying?... |
4386 | But of what consequence is the subject? |
4386 | Can the royal purple and burning flames of genius ever float upon the immaculate azure of woman''s destiny?... |
4386 | Could he not always find them again through the descriptions of his inspired companion? |
4386 | Did Chopin suffer from this inevitable dissimilarity between the prophetic whispers of the heart, and the thronging doubts of the questioning mind? |
4386 | Did he dread, that after having touched him with his icy hand, he would still suffer him to linger upon earth? |
4386 | Did he feel that life would be almost unendurable with its fondest ties broken, its closest links dissevered? |
4386 | Did he not regain strength only because he now wished to live? |
4386 | Does not Petrarch owe his fame to his Sonnets? |
4386 | Even if he had ceased to speak of it, would he not always have thought of it? |

4386 | Has not the force of genius its own exclusive and legitimate exactions, and does not the force of woman consist in the abdication of all exactions? |
4386 | How did Weber divine the Poland of other days? |
4386 | If the acts of the poet have sometimes denied the spirit of his song, have not his songs still more powerfully denied his acts? |
4386 | In literature, is Beranger less a great poet, because he has condensed his thoughts within the narrow limits of his songs? |
4386 | In others he relinquished this broad style: Shall we say always with a more decided success? |
4386 | In very truth are not the Sclavic women utterly incomparable? |
4386 | Is it not the idea which is developed through it, the emotion with which it vibrates, which expands, elevates and ennobles it? |

4386 | Of what value the vain words, which only nourish sterile feelings? |

4386 | This high poetic disdain,--how did it comport itself when struggling with material interests? |
4386 | Those who exalted integrity,--were they always equitable? |
4386 | Those who felt such holy indignation,--were they indeed always just? |
4386 | Those who so admired fortitude,--have they never compromised with their own weakness? |
4386 | Those who sung of honor,--did they never stoop? |
4386 | Was he considering what pallet, what brushes, what canvas he must use, to introduce them into visible life through his art? |
4386 | Was it not rather because his life was full of bliss that he found strength to live? |
4386 | Was it the effect of the balmy climate alone which recalled him to health? |

13065 | How did he obtain it? |
13065 | How in the world did such an unfounded idea ever occur to you as that I was displeased? |
13065 | How is it, then, that I have as yet received no reports of the carrying out of my orders, which, however, have no doubt been attended to? |
13065 | I can not endure either of these vile creatures; I wonder if Nany will behave rather better from the departure of her colleague? |

13065 | Who could bear to be forced to bestow a_ friendly gift_ on such a man? |
13065 | Why did you conceal your necessities from me? |
13065 | Why must I fly from her I so fondly love? |
13065 | Why this deep grief when necessity compels?--can our love exist without sacrifices, and by refraining from desiring all things? |
13065 | Will he be content with this? |
13065 | Would the life- certificate, if signed by the authorities of a non- Austrian place, still be valid? |

19748 | ''Have you seen your brother Michael? |
19748 | ''How can he have found time,''he asked,''for the setting of such long poems, many of them containing ten others?'' |
19748 | ''Is it the new opera?'' |
19748 | ''Now, Joseph, what do you propose to do?'' |
19748 | ''Now, tell me, who do you think I ought to appoint to the post?'' |
19748 | ''Oh,''said Felix thoughtfully; then, indicating Mr. Benedict,''Does_ he_ know all about it?'' |
19748 | ''Perhaps,''replied Franz thoughtfully;''I sometimes have dreams of that sort, but who can do anything after Beethoven?'' |

19748 | And if we admit that Handel excelled in operatic work, what shall we say of the oratorios which formed the later creations of his genius? |
19748 | And what of the parents whom he had left behind in the little village? |
19748 | And why was Archbishop Sigismund so desirous of testing the boy''s powers of composition? |
19748 | At length, when Handel ceased to play, the Duke turned to those about him with the inquiry:''Who is that child? |
19748 | Beckoning to Haydn, he inquired,''Whose music is that which you were playing just now?'' |
19748 | But he at once checked himself in his walk, and, turning to Hans, said abruptly:''Have you taken the child his food?'' |
19748 | But if the Octet serves to mark a distinct stage in the development of Mendelssohn''s genius, what are we to say of the work which followed it? |
19748 | But to whom can I now say it? |
19748 | Could it possibly be true, he asked himself, that throughout the length and breadth of Germany so stupendous a work as this remained unheard, unknown? |
19748 | Dismayed by this reflection, he took his hands from the keyboard and, turning to Mozart, said,''Will you give me a theme on which to extemporise?'' |
19748 | Dismayed by this unlooked- for resolution, the Emperor exclaimed:''What, Mozart, do you mean to forsake me?'' |
19748 | Do n''t I deserve a place above ground?'' |
19748 | Does anybody know his name?'' |
19748 | He therefore seized Benedict by the arm, exclaiming,''You will come to my father''s house with me, will you not?'' |
19748 | How can it be possible to read such manuscript?'' |
19748 | How had they fared during these long years of struggle and success? |
19748 | How is it possible to give, in a few words, an idea of this great work? |
19748 | If his kind tutor was going away, how did he know whether he would find his deputy equally willing to teach him? |

19748 | The Capellmeister eyed the boy kindly, and, drawing him to his knee, said,''Well, my little fellow, can you make a shake?'' |
19748 | The few groschen which my father gives me are all spent the first day, and what is one to do the rest of the time? |
19748 | Was he not with the rest?'' |
19748 | Was it possible, they asked themselves, that a child could produce such beautiful music? |
19748 | What could be more touchingly beautiful than the air,''He was despised and rejected of men''? |
19748 | What was the secret of this wonderful success? |
19748 | Where does he live?'' |
19748 | Where have you been living?'' |
19748 | Who could I give it to with my warmest love so well as to you, true, good, noble Stephen? |
19748 | Who is the father? |
19748 | Who, indeed, could for long withstand so imperious a will, backed by such unquenchable genius? |
19748 | Why should his life be made so much harder than that of other children? |
19748 | Will he laugh at it, and tell the father that he is mistaken in believing that his son can write good music? |
19748 | Would he turn out an even harder task- master than his own father had been? |
19748 | Would nobody hold out a helping hand? |
19748 | Would this week of toil be thrown away, and the sheets be cast into the fire?'' |
19748 | [ 25] Did n''t he mention me in his letter? |
19748 | can it be you? |
19748 | cried Handel, looking up in surprise,''do you say you vill jump? |
19748 | for what sall de Foundlings put mein moosic in de Parliament? |
19748 | or will you send word to your people that you intend to return home?'' |
19748 | that a creation so deathless in itself could be permitted to sleep without even the hope of an awakening? |
19748 | what are you doing? |
19748 | who was happier than I, when I could still utter the sweet name of mother, and it was heard? |
44767 | But is it not good? |
44767 | But where is better music to be got, then? |

44767 | Then why do they not give his operas? |
44767 | What dreamed I of Isolde''s shame? |
44767 | What dreamed I of Tristan''s honour? |
44767 | What has befallen the eternal gods? |
44767 | What matters it for me? 44767 Who is he?" |
44767 | ( How was it that the Devil was so often mistaken about women?) |
44767 | ("Kurvenal, seest thou it not?") |
44767 | ("What watches yonder darkly concealed in chaste Night?") |
44767 | And was it not a good omen when at last there fell across his childhood the shadow of his artistic progenitor, Weber? |
44767 | And with this Wagner ushers in a very Italian duet:[ Music: Wie? |
44767 | Before this society on June 16 Wagner read a paper entitled"What is the Relation of our Efforts to the Monarchy?" |
44767 | Brünnhilde says:"What man art thou?" |
44767 | But he felt that only a monarch could afford to give the financial support to such a scheme, and he wrote,"Will that king be found?" |
44767 | But how about the few who love these works? |
44767 | But how was the necessary money to be raised? |
44767 | CHAPTER I THE LYRIC DRAMA AS HE FOUND IT What was this man Wagner trying to do? |
44767 | Daland,"joyful yet perplexed,"exclaims:"Wie? |
44767 | Does she forget her mother''s magic art, which has provided her with potions of strange power? |
44767 | Dost thou not see what I see? |
44767 | Finally the god asks:"What did Odin whisper in the ear of his son before he ascended the funeral pile?" |
44767 | HENDERSON AUTHOR OF"THE STORY OF MUSIC,""PRELUDES AND STUDIES,""WHAT IS GOOD MUSIC?" |
44767 | He wrote to Liszt in the fall of 1849:"How and whence shall I get enough to live? |
44767 | Hence, though struck to the heart by more than mortal wound, Elizabeth thinks first of her lover''s sin:"Was liegt an mir? |
44767 | How can I endure the anguish?" |
44767 | How shall the King endure? |
44767 | How was it that the French romantic poets were engaged in celebrating the doings of English heroes? |
44767 | Hör ich recht? |
44767 | Hör''ich recht? |
44767 | In a letter of March 30, 1853, he says to Liszt:"What can help me? |
44767 | Indeed I believe I have done my best to state both things distinctly: but who has yet heeded? |
44767 | Is my finished work''Lohengrin''worth nothing? |
44767 | Is not Melot Tristan''s friend? |
44767 | Is the opera which I am longing to complete worth nothing? |

44767 | Should not they be allowed to offer to the poor suffering creator-- not a remuneration, but the bare possibility of continuing to create?... |
44767 | Siegmund calls upon his father and says,"Where is the promised sword?" |
44767 | Staring vacantly into space she murmurs:"Unloved by the noblest of men, must I stand near and see him? |
44767 | The giant recognises Odin by this question, and says,"Who can tell what thou didst whisper of old in the ear of thy son? |
44767 | The words of Wolfram''s poem here are nearly the same as those of Chrétien, which are these:"Knowest thou not the day, sweet youth? |
44767 | What is this? |
44767 | What though it outraged the rules of the masters and even puzzled him? |
44767 | When he says,"Was dort in keuscher Nacht dunkel verschlossen wacht?" |
44767 | When shall it be night for these two? |
44767 | When will the blazing of the torch cease to keep him sundered from Isolde? |
44767 | Whence came the lovely character, one of the noblest of all Wagner''s heroines, Elizabeth, the Landgrave''s niece? |
44767 | Whence did they procure them? |
44767 | Where, then, was Wagner to find eternal ideas suitable for dramatic treatment except in their personifications in mythology? |
44767 | Who was he, this unknown young composer, to trouble the darlings of the public? |
44767 | Who, then, is this Venus, and what is she doing in the subterranean world of the 12th century? |
44767 | Why had Wagner selected Bayreuth as the scene of the crowning labour of his career? |
44767 | Why has she broken Wotan''s command against visiting Brünnhilde? |
44767 | Why? |
44767 | Why? |
44767 | Will Brünnhilde give back the ring? |
44767 | Wollt Ihr sein ewig Heil ihm rauben?" |
44767 | Wotan at once falls into the trap, and says:"What pratest thou there? |
44767 | Would you rob him of his eternal salvation?" |
44767 | Yet was there nothing in all this to show the bent of the young mind? |

34381 | We both desired to correspond, but through whom? 34381 Well, what do you want?" |
34381 | Well? |
34381 | What do you think of the charming Billington''s picture? |
34381 | What do you wish? |
34381 | What is that? |
34381 | What is the meaning of all this? |
34381 | What wretch has dared to tamper with the great Beethoven? |
34381 | What''s the use? 34381 What, Baptiste,"the former said,"have you burned your opera? |
34381 | Where on earth could they be? |
34381 | Where would they not go,answered Cherubini,"led by such a hero as you?" |
34381 | Where''s your music? |
34381 | Who are you? |
34381 | Who has taken upon him to revise Gluck? |
34381 | Whose music is it? |
34381 | Why not? |
34381 | You have written a mass? |
34381 | ''Papa,''he cried,''wilt thou be friends?'' |
34381 | ''Who holds up hands?'' |
34381 | A Milanese gentleman, whose father was very ill, met his friend in the street--"Where are you going?" |
34381 | After greeting Beethoven, I said,''Will you permit me to introduce my brother to you?'' |
34381 | After my son''s death, what have you not done to honour my son''s name and render it dear to posterity? |
34381 | Again, to you nod remember dat ubstardt buppy Senesino, and the goxgomb Farinelli? |
34381 | Again:"What is all this compared to the grandest of all Masters of Harmony-- above, above?" |
34381 | Alluding to a performance of''Semiramide,''he said, with a malicious smile,''I suppose you saw the beautiful decorations in it?'' |
34381 | And for vot? |
34381 | And old Cherubini? |
34381 | Are not the pleasures of a transient, capricious passion widely different from the happiness produced by rational and true love? |
34381 | Are we at a hunting- party? |
34381 | Are you not ashamed of such undeserved triumph?" |
34381 | Are you surprised that he should have forgotten it too? |
34381 | Arne?'' |
34381 | Barth glanced through the composition, then sang it, and soon grew into such enthusiasm as to draw from Beethoven the expression,"No? |
34381 | But what of the meanwhile? |
34381 | But who is that gentlemanly man leaning over the chamber- organ? |
34381 | Can we wonder that his work was a failure? |
34381 | Do n''t you know what love is?" |
34381 | Do n''t you remember the libretto of''Il Proscritto,''which you procured for me, and for which I have never composed the music? |
34381 | Do you not every day become more convinced of the truth of the little lectures I used to inflict on you? |
34381 | Handel?'' |
34381 | Have I not been kissed by the queen?" |
34381 | Hey, mine friendt? |
34381 | His father refused, saying,"How can you? |
34381 | Mendelssohn, many years afterwards, writing to Moscheles in Paris, asked,"Has Onslow written anything new? |
34381 | Next, again, mine somedimes nodtable rival Bononcini, and old Borbora? |
34381 | Oh first created Beam, and thou, great Word,''Let there be light,''and light was over all, Why am I thus bereaved thy prime decree? |
34381 | One of the singers, every time he came to the passage,"Ce mortel qu''on remarque Tient- il Plus que nous de la Parque Le fil?" |
34381 | One question only was thought of,"Is he a Gluckist or Piccinist?" |
34381 | Pompadour refused to kiss him, saying,"Who is she, that she will not kiss me? |
34381 | Some of the above are real masterpieces; but, with the exception of''The waves of the sea rage horribly,''and''Who is God but the Lord?'' |
34381 | The characteristic reply was a Parthian arrow:"Vat te tevil I trow my money away for dat vich the blockhead vish? |
34381 | The clarionets were too much for him, but on seeing third and fourth horn- parts, he exclaimed,"What does the man want? |
34381 | The composer cried out, in a rage,"Do n''t you see he is lying? |
34381 | The conversation turning upon German music, I asked him''which was his favourite among the great masters?'' |
34381 | The following retort shows the nobility of genius--"I, sir? |
34381 | The question was no longer,"Is he a Jansenist, a Molinist, an Encyclopædist, a philosopher, a free- thinker?" |
34381 | Then changing his tone,"Do n''t you know your voice is a gold- mine that has not been fully explored? |
34381 | Then, laughing:''Berhaps, Mister Golley Cibbers, you may like to pote this to the vote? |
34381 | Trying in vain to reach a book on the table, he said,"Can I do nothing now in time?" |
34381 | Vat gan it concern you whether I have one votdermans or two votdermans-- whether I bull out mine burce for to pay von shilling or two? |
34381 | Vell, mein friendts, andt how vags the vorldt wid you, mein tdears? |
34381 | Vogl, a fortnight afterwards, sang it in the lower key to his friend, who remarked:"Really, that_ Lied_ is not bad; who composed it?" |
34381 | What can I do to please you?" |
34381 | What would you call the man who would seek to assure you that you were superior to Raphael?" |
34381 | What''s your name?" |
34381 | Who that has once heard can forget the thrilling power of"La Marseillaise"in Schumann''s setting of Heinrich Heine''s poem of"The Two Grenadiers?" |
34381 | Who would grudge the moisture of his eyes if he could render it immortal in the strains of Schubert''s''Lob der Thräne?''" |
34381 | Who would not battle with the iciest blast of the north if out of storm and snow he could bring back to his chamber the germs of the''Winterreise?'' |
34381 | Why will you not come to Königsberg at the festival? |
34381 | Why, in other words, are you not in Berlin? |
34381 | Will Italy One and Free continue to produce great and original musicians? |
34381 | With abrupt, passionate intensity of tone Schubert answered,"What''s the use of that? |
34381 | Would the solitary man at the opposite table assist us? |
34381 | [ E]"Do you know that the Chevalier( Gluck''s title) has an Armida and Orlando in his portfolio?" |
34381 | and Beethoven immediately rushed off, seized hold of my brother, saying,''Am I such a savage that you are afraid to come near me?'' |
34381 | do n''t I know better as yourself vaat it pest for you to sing? |
34381 | do you think I have not dined?" |
34381 | he cried,"study anatomy; dissect; take part in horrible operations? |
34381 | if the trees at moonlight sang always so harmoniously?" |
34381 | is Handel dead?" |
34381 | when shall I feel it again in the temple of Nature and man? |
34381 | you do n''t mean to say that little blackamoor"( alluding to Haydn''s brown complexion and small stature)"composed that symphony?" |
46982 | And Siglinda, will she come also? |
46982 | And who obtained it? |
46982 | Are we not enough already? |
46982 | Art thou timid in the presence of women? |
46982 | Can I believe myself delivered, since once again I hear the rustling of this forest, and salute thee again, thou good old man? |
46982 | Can it be an angel sent by God? |
46982 | Dost thou not see it yet? 46982 Dost thou repel me?" |
46982 | From whence came this mysterious phial? |
46982 | Greeting, my guest,says Gurnemanz:"Dost thou not know what day this is? |
46982 | Intoxication of the soul, rapture without measure, impetuous and overheated, blood, how shall I support you chained to this couch? 46982 Is it thou who hast killed the swan?" |
46982 | It is so difficult then? |
46982 | It was my kiss which rendered thy eyes clear? 46982 Knowing by compassion, was it not thus?" |
46982 | Must I again thank thee, indefatigable and unknown maid? 46982 My son, Amfortas,"he says,"doest thou officiate? |
46982 | Perhaps you have made a good pair of buskins? |
46982 | So you wish to become master? |
46982 | Tell me, to whom should the path which thou seekest lead? |
46982 | Well, does the shoe fit at last? |
46982 | Were those who menaced me wicked? 46982 What dost thou ask, cursed woman?" |
46982 | What fragrant perfume you exhale,says Parsifal, with tranquil gayety;"are you flowers?" |
46982 | What has struck down him whom even God protected? |
46982 | What is it? |
46982 | What is that? |
46982 | What is the matter with you? |
46982 | What, thou knowest me yet? 46982 What,"they reply,"thou knowest naught of the marvellous gold? |
46982 | Who art thou,he says,"who appearest to me so beautiful and so grave?" |
46982 | Who is it? |
46982 | Who prevented him from beholding the Grail and its blessings? |
46982 | Who wounded it? |
46982 | Whom does this casket that you bear in sorrow enclose? |
46982 | Why dost thou chide? |
46982 | A cry is immediately heard:"In what school have you studied? |
46982 | And approaching two knights who descend from the castle he cries:"Greetings to you: how does Amfortas find himself to- day? |
46982 | Are the enchantments of music capable of working this miracle? |
46982 | Behold the snowy plumage stained with blood, the drooping wings, the dying glance,--Dost thou recognize thy fault?" |
46982 | But Isolde? |
46982 | But Wagner had not ceased to think of it, and who knows if at this moment Paris was not the aim of his dreams? |
46982 | But how should I be received? |
46982 | But the rules, what has he done with them? |
46982 | Can repose exist for such a mind, always pushing irresistibly forward and higher? |
46982 | Does a theatre exist in Paris, this world''s capital, where the great works, lyrical and dramatic, of the entire world may be represented? |
46982 | Does he laugh now, and does he jeer at me by thy month, thou bride of the devil? |
46982 | Has the new generation ever seen the representations of this master''s greatest works? |
46982 | How earnest thou here, and from what place?" |
46982 | How is that?" |
46982 | I already feel the shadow of death upon me, and must I return once again to life? |
46982 | I hoped and waited for an answer with extreme anxiety: would it come? |
46982 | I remember, among others, this phrase:"Since the public at the opera do not like my music why inflict it upon them?" |
46982 | Is it not in her arms that the King of the Grail forgot his holy duties? |
46982 | Is it not on her account that he now suffers and writhes in the cruel flame of guilty desire? |
46982 | Is she not his twin sister, formerly carried off from the devastated fireside? |
46982 | Is there any sort of indignity or outrage which has been spared him in his own country? |
46982 | May it not be his mother''s soul? |
46982 | Must I behold the Grail yet again to- day and live? |
46982 | Must I die, no longer sustained by my Saviour?" |
46982 | Of what good is this balm? |
46982 | Oh, eternal sleep, thou only blessing, how attain thee?" |
46982 | Tell us thou hast known Klingsor? |
46982 | They all fear the valiant youth"--"Who fears me, say?" |
46982 | They question him:"From whence dost thou come? |
46982 | Too audacious Amfortas, who could''st have restrained thyself when armed with this lance, thou resolvedst to attack the magician? |
46982 | Was this letter really from him? |
46982 | Well, where do you imagine I am now?" |
46982 | Well, where is Victor Hugo''s theatre? |
46982 | What had this faithful swan done to thee? |
46982 | What is it now to thee? |
46982 | What is the wound and its agony of pain compared with the infernal suffering of being damned here to officiate? |
46982 | What is thy name? |
46982 | Where may he find strength with which to defend himself? |
46982 | Which of you would force me to live since you can give me nothing but death? |
46982 | Who has sent thee?" |
46982 | Who is good?" |
46982 | Who troubles himself about Calderon, Schiller, Goethe, Shakspeare? |
46982 | Who will come to his aid in this bitter distress? |
46982 | Who will do combat with me?" |
46982 | and the tabulature,--the rules laid down in the tables? |
46982 | can no one measure the torment which the sight that transports you awakens in me? |
46982 | cried Elsa,"thou who defendest me in my distress, how could I do other than faithfully keep to the law thou imposest upon me?" |
46982 | dost thou remember him, whom grief and distress have bent so low? |
46982 | she cries with a harsh laugh,"would''st thou be chaste?" |
46982 | what have I ever remembered? |
46982 | who are you masters?" |
46982 | who is the criminal?" |
46982 | who says that?" |
37996 | And dare I now, most Serene Highness, venture to lay the first fruits of my youthful labour before your throne? 37996 I hear wonders of galvanism-- what say you to it? |
37996 | Those lovely scenes of my Fatherland, what part had I in them? 37996 WHO HAS FORBIDDEN THEM?" |
37996 | Well? |
37996 | Why? |
37996 | You want to know something about my position? 37996 _ The Mount of Olives_,"an oratorio; text by Franz Xaver Huber; composed 1800(?). |
37996 | ( Of course there were little misunderstandings between us; but did they not serve rather to cement our friendship?) |
37996 | 1798(? |
37996 | 1799(?). |
37996 | 4), the most delicately finished and bright in colouring which we possess? |
37996 | 53), composed 1803(?). |
37996 | A very strong will( is not even this beyond the reach of most?) |
37996 | And how? |
37996 | And why should he not wait upon himself, and look after the kitchen himself? |
37996 | As for my affection, the sister has so large a share of it that not much is left for the brother-- will he be content with this? |
37996 | But may not the light- heartedness which distinguishes this overture have been intentional on the part of Beethoven? |
37996 | Could it be more difficult to prepare a dinner than to compose a C minor symphony? |
37996 | Dare we now really claim his creations, which breathe the highest humanity, as specially_ German_? |
37996 | Did the perplexity arise simply from his unbusiness- like habits? |
37996 | Do we not feel ourselves blown upon by the fresh mountain air? |
37996 | Do we not sometimes hear it surging like a wave of the mighty stream through the Beethoven harmonies? |
37996 | Eleven years old, thought I, how would the character of author become me? |
37996 | First, then, how is it that Beethoven''s genius as a composer was so late, comparatively speaking, in developing? |
37996 | Has there ever existed a poet who transported our souls into his ideal kingdom with more irresistible force than our Beethoven? |
37996 | Have you still a little love for me? |
37996 | How comes it, then, that with all these qualifications Beethoven would not afterwards allow that he had profited by his instructions? |
37996 | How could it be otherwise? |
37996 | If his work were worthy of a decoration, why not have given it in addition to the paltry sum asked for it? |
37996 | In a very short time, however, the latter became so wealthy( how?) |
37996 | In passing, he seized the violoncello part of Steibelt''s quintet, placed it upside down on the desk( was this designedly? |
37996 | Is not a calm, serene autumn day enough to entrance our inmost nature? |
37996 | Is not some such scene the background to the Adagio in the"Sonata quasi Fantasia,"dedicated to the Countess Giulietta? |
37996 | Is the B flat major Symphony, after all, as much the exponent of the master passion as is, in another way, the C sharp minor Sonata? |
37996 | My youth, I feel it, is only beginning; have I not always been a sickly creature? |
37996 | Never? |
37996 | Servility from man to his fellow- creature pains me; and, when I consider myself in relation to the universe, what am I? |
37996 | Shall we say, not_ because_, but--_in spite of_ her? |
37996 | So you have written about me to Goethe, have you not? |
37996 | To the silent images resembling her, which my fancy presents to me? |
37996 | Was it a foreshadowing of bliss that might be his? |
37996 | Were his means swallowed up by his frequent removals? |
37996 | What a ruinous waste of time!--Why this deep sorrow where Necessity speaks? |
37996 | What could be kinder than the tone of this letter? |
37996 | What do you think of Schmidt? |
37996 | What greater contrast to all this can be imagined than our proud, reserved, brusque Beethoven? |
37996 | What shall I say to you about myself? |
37996 | What was Beethoven''s object in choosing this theme for his labours? |
37996 | What were Beethoven''s intentions with regard to this visit? |
37996 | What would there be, indeed, to make me happier? |
37996 | What, then, was the cause of it? |
37996 | Who can exaggerate the immense benefit that a loving, tender wife would have been to Beethoven-- a wife like Mozart''s Constance? |
37996 | Who can tell? |
37996 | Who could have felt this more keenly than Beethoven? |
37996 | Why should that particular trio be kept back? |
37996 | Would a youth spent in the midst of a great song- world have led our master along other paths? |
37996 | Would you have had me walk with my eyes shut?" |
37996 | _ Forsaken by the whole world in Vienna_, was he to starve? |

37996 | a single verse to console us? |
37996 | and may I hope that you will cast on them the encouraging glance of your approval? |
37996 | and to whom can I now say it? |
37996 | and what would riper artists say to it? |
37996 | asks the master, testily,"and who has forbidden them?" |
37996 | can our love exist otherwise than by sacrifices, than by our not expecting everything? |
37996 | exclaims the reader, is this an instance of the so- called"aristocratic leanings"of Beethoven? |
37996 | has gone up from many a thousand hearts to the eternal throne; but who may presume to fathom the dispensations of a mysterious providence? |
37996 | may he not have wished to represent his heroine before the shadow of grief had fallen upon her, in the enjoyment of the highest wedded bliss? |
37996 | or to question that wisdom which gives to every earthborn soul the necessary discipline for immortality? |
37996 | shall I again feel it in the temple of nature and man? |
37996 | the friendly glance of a maiden to throw us into the sweetest_ reverie_? |

37996 | to whom could he turn? |
37996 | we ask;"on what account?" |
37996 | what is he who is called the greatest? |
37996 | who understands her? |
37996 | with whom can I discuss this great goddess?... |
5995 | Back to New York so soon? 5995 In what respect?" |
5995 | Inspiring, is n''t it? |
5995 | What are you up to now, Colonel? |
5995 | What is the price of your box? |
5995 | What, nowhere? |
5995 | Will she do it? |
5995 | ("What more could she do were her husband sick?" |
5995 | A German opera? |
5995 | A colloquy with the musicians, if not exactly in these words, was to this effect:"What''s the meaning of this? |
5995 | A lyric drama in the Wagnerian manner? |
5995 | And how has this play been set to music? |
5995 | And if you thought me competent to do what I have done, why should you not be guided by my counsels? |
5995 | And the melodramatic music upon which Sardou''s play floats,--what is it like? |
5995 | And when deceived by him, whom did you take in place of him? |
5995 | And why was this? |
5995 | Answer at least these questions: Did you not request from me an Italian company? |
5995 | Avez- vous des habits a vendr''?" |
5995 | But it had this in the Astor Place Opera House; why, then, did it live its little span only? |
5995 | But to whom do you imagine it was now abandoned by the exemplary wisdom of its proprietors? |
5995 | But why? |
5995 | Did Garcia oppose his daughter''s marriage, and did she wilfully have her own way in a matter in which she was scarcely a proper judge? |
5995 | Did I not tell you and reiterate in my writing and verbally that Rivafinoli was not to be trusted? |
5995 | Did anyone ever hear a tone come out of her throat that was not pure, free, and firm? |
5995 | Did not I, and I alone procure them? |
5995 | Does she find him, when she rushes down the stairs, pursued by her father''s broken- hearted calls? |
5995 | Had not I a right to expect thus much, or at least justice? |
5995 | Has a drama abhorrent, bestial, repellent, and loathsome been changed into a thing of delectability by the potent agency of music? |
5995 | Has a mephitic odor been changed to a sweet savor by the subtle alchemy of the musical composer? |
5995 | Has a rock of offense been removed? |
5995 | Have I been compensated for my labor, reimbursed my actual expenses, or even honored by those most benefited by my losses and labors? |
5995 | Have not Mignon''s songs drawn forth music from nearly every composer of eminence since Beethoven? |
5995 | He paid his tribute to the tendency which Wagner made dominant( where is the composer of the last thirty years who has not?) |
5995 | In considerable distress he went to Faure, who had set the fashion:"What pose, gesture, effect of yours is it that I have failed to copy?" |
5995 | Is it a curse? |
5995 | Is it a strike? |
5995 | Is that true? |
5995 | It might be easier to answer the question if it were put in the negative: Why not"Iris"? |
5995 | Mr. White wrote in 1881; would he have been able to be so complimentary to the opera audiences of 1908? |
5995 | Or was the marriage repugnant to her, and was she sacrificed to her father''s selfishness? |
5995 | The reason? |
5995 | Then, still half turned, he remarked without a touch of feeling in the tone of his voice:"Encouraging, is n''t it? |
5995 | There was too much reiteration, and I shall never discipline my taste to like common colloquial expressions of life:"How do you do, madame?" |
5995 | Thereupon he indited an epistle to Mr. Dana in these wingèd words: Friend Dana: What would it cost to burn the Opera House? |
5995 | Was Italian opera dead? |
5995 | Was ever a more perfect musical coquette dreamed of than Philine? |
5995 | Was it a French opera? |
5995 | Was it an Italian opera? |
5995 | Were they not excellent? |
5995 | What but fashion could tempt reasonable creatures to sit and applaud-- what was really perpetrated-- Deshayes dancing"The Death of Nelson"? |
5995 | What chances of a happy issue? |
5995 | What experience? |
5995 | What judgment? |
5995 | What lyric possibilities do not lie in the Harper? |
5995 | What talents? |
5995 | What will they say, the Trollops and the Halls and Hamiltons who nodum in scripto quoerunt with the microscope of national aversion? |
5995 | What''s the matter in Cincinnati?" |
5995 | Which of them might with most propriety be applied to this work? |
5995 | Who can know the ways of a maid fourscore years after? |
5995 | Who would listen now to Rossini''s"Otello"? |
5995 | Why did n''t I think of doing that?" |
5995 | Why did you ask this of me? |
5995 | Why do you work so? |
5995 | Why"Iris"? |
5995 | Why?" |
5995 | Will this splendid and refined amusement be supported in New York? |
5995 | With what means? |
5995 | Would she, under the circumstances, be the guest of a number of gentlemen, representative of the legal, artistic, and literary professions? |
5995 | Would you know why they wished it? |
5995 | and where? |
5995 | and"Please, Miss Cary, wo n''t you let me kiss you?" |
5995 | are n''t you ever going to sing for us again?" |

16467 | Do you know? |
16467 | I have been to-- guess whom?... 16467 Legouvé said to Berlioz,''Who told you this abominable thing? |
16467 | Man''s character,did I say? |
16467 | My name? 16467 Now does n''t that sound well?" |
16467 | Patriotism? 16467 Where? |
16467 | Would you believe it? |
16467 | [ 19] But of what use was this pity? 16467 [ 33]"Ah, my poor Louis,"he wrote to him,"what should I do without you?" |
16467 | ''How could I?'' |
16467 | ***** Well, what did it matter? |
16467 | All is nothing.... To love or hate, enjoy or suffer, admire or sneer, live or die-- what does it matter? |
16467 | And Berlioz did nothing--"How could I? |
16467 | And an opera, now?... |
16467 | And what can be said of that evening? |
16467 | And yet how can we tell? |
16467 | Are we not in France? |
16467 | Are we really witnessing the return of its spring? |
16467 | Berlioz at home?'' |
16467 | But is his reason always in agreement with his heart? |
16467 | But what did it matter? |
16467 | But what government, pope, emperor, or president could oblige an artist to think and write against his will? |
16467 | But what of that? |
16467 | But what shall be said of those who die little by little, who outlive themselves, and watch the slow decay of their souls? |
16467 | But why should it be truthful to depict life only as a bad thing? |
16467 | Can an artist write anything that he does not clearly conceive? |
16467 | Can one blame him for that?] |
16467 | Can one find elsewhere a more dazzling musical debut? |
16467 | Can this strange combination exist at all? |
16467 | Can we not tear ourselves away from that romantic suffering in music which was begun by Beethoven? |
16467 | Do not the two words contradict each other? |
16467 | Do people think he composes at random as his genius whispers to him? |
16467 | Do they not lean on the example of the past? |
16467 | Do they think that gesture associates itself very happily with music? |
16467 | Do we find his faith, as expressed through his music always full of peace and calm? |
16467 | Do you know the amusing account Tolstoy gave of a performance of_ Siegfried_? |
16467 | Do you know the programme? |
16467 | Do you remember Goethe''s ballad of_ Der Zauberlehrling_(_ L''Apprenti Sorcier_) which Dukas so cleverly made into music? |
16467 | Does it mean that Berlioz could not love as well as Wagner? |
16467 | Does the wonderful spread of musical culture in Germany during the last century correspond with its artistic creation? |
16467 | For what reason? |
16467 | Have we now come to the end of our difficulties? |
16467 | He fell in love with an English actress who played Juliet( Was it she or Juliet whom he loved?). |
16467 | His music is practically unknown in France, though he wrote two well- known operas,_ Fauler Hans_ and_ Wem die Krone_? |
16467 | How can it be otherwise, when the composers represented are mere names to them? |
16467 | How can that opinion help forward the growth of art? |
16467 | How did Berlioz come to have this genius for orchestration almost from the very first? |
16467 | How do such works come to be neglected by our Republic? |
16467 | How is it they have not a place in our public life? |
16467 | How should I? |
16467 | How should they appreciate the boldest musical achievement of the nineteenth century? |
16467 | I ask, What is an indefinite art? |
16467 | I can understand people arguing about him in a country that produced Beethoven and Bach; but with us in France, who can we set up against him? |

16467 | Is it the incoming of some great tide of melody, which will wash away the gloom and doubt of our life to- day? |
16467 | Is it the monk Denys in his cell at Mount Athos? |
16467 | Is not Siegfried the heroic incarnation of a free and healthy man, sprung directly from Nature? |
16467 | Is that conviction justified? |
16467 | Is that voice of instinct cursed or blessed? |
16467 | Is the Wagnerian drama perfectly adapted to German genius? |
16467 | Is this the family feeling of Germany to- day? |
16467 | It has torn my heart to bury him alive, and I had a hard and painful fight with myself before I could do it.... Shall I ever go back to him? |
16467 | Look about you, and tell me if from this point of view there is any career finer than that of an artist who is conscious of his mission? |
16467 | On this subject he says:"Where shall we find the quickening life that will give us fresh forms and formulas? |
16467 | Or Cennini, who spread the pious teaching of the Giotteschi? |

16467 | What man can, during a whole lifetime, gaze into the depths of this world with a calm reason and a cheerful heart? |
16467 | What might not Berlioz have done if the means had been given him, or if his works had found a place in the fêtes of the Revolution? |
16467 | What more could he want? |
16467 | What says dark midnight? |

16467 | Why be astonished at it? |
16467 | Why did n''t you turn her out of the house?'' |
16467 | Why not? |
16467 | Why should the general public appreciate a Bach fugue, an intricate symphony or a piece of chamber- music? |
16467 | Will that revolution still be accomplished? |
16467 | [ 106] After all, why be astonished that his mighty mission was too much for him? |
16467 | [ 158] But in doing this is not his eclecticism trying to reconcile arts that are naturally disunited? |
16467 | [ 60] Who does not see what a poor figure the young Wagner cut at that time, working away in laborious and self- satisfied mediocrity? |

7834 | What land? |
7834 | What would King Marke say were I to slay_ his best servant_? |
7834 | Why do you hate me? |
7834 | Are we to suppose that after all that happened on board the ship she consented to become the wife of King Marke? |
7834 | But I can not hope to make my own position clear without descending to the foundations of all art, of all life, without asking: what is drama? |
7834 | Can we apply this distinction to music? |
7834 | Can we wonder that the world''s head was turned by such a gigantic personality? |
7834 | Does it not tell us more than all the outpourings of Oulibichef? |
7834 | Does she love Tristan before they drink the potion? |
7834 | Does, for example,"one revolution of the sun"mean twelve hours or twenty- four? |
7834 | Dost thou ask of Tristan, beloved lady? |
7834 | Has Isolde started on the voyage to be the bride of King Marke with her own consent? |
7834 | He continues: How has this foretaste( of eternal night) departed from me? |
7834 | He replies:"Our love? |
7834 | Him there who shirks my gaze, and looks on the ground in shame and fear? |
7834 | His moral sense tells him that this ought not to be; there must be some delusion; is it in nature or is it in his own understanding? |
7834 | How can death ever destroy that? |
7834 | How could Isolde be mine in the bright light of day? |
7834 | How else could we endure to contemplate the failure and destruction of a Lear, a Wallenstein, a Deianira, an Antigone? |
7834 | How is such a miracle possible? |
7834 | How many have inherited his spirit? |
7834 | How then can it be possible for music to be a vehicle of thought? |
7834 | In all the vast mass how much is there which was worth the writing, or can be read with any profit by reasonable people? |
7834 | Is that what is troubling you? |
7834 | Is this life to count for nothing? |
7834 | Isolde, scarcely yet realizing that this is indeed the only possible ending, asks( 139''4):"Must then daylight and death together end our love?" |
7834 | Now he calls her to his own, to show her his possession and heritage; how should she refuse? |
7834 | Now_ he_ turns to her smiling and asks:"_ Soll ich lauschen_?" |
7834 | Or that Tristan''s reasons for carrying off Isolde are clear to him from Marke''s account? |
7834 | Or the_ Upanishads_? |
7834 | Or this, in speaking of the formation of the opera and the demand for better libretti after the period of Spontini? |
7834 | Popule meus, quid feci tibi? |
7834 | Shall I call thee a yearning memory that has driven me once more to the light of day? |
7834 | Shall I request him to wait upon you? |
7834 | She has now attained full insight, and when he finally and seriously puts the question to her:"Shall I return once more to the day?" |
7834 | She recalls Isolde''s strange and cold behaviour on parting from her parents in Ireland, and on the voyage; why is she thus? |
7834 | She turns to Brangäne, and with a look of the utmost scorn, indicating Tristan, she asks: What thinkst thou of the slave? |
7834 | Sick and weary in my power, why did I not then smite thee? |
7834 | The wound? |
7834 | Tristan has taken her lover from her, and does he now dare to mock her? |
7834 | Tristan, shall I have atonement? |
7834 | Under which heading are we to class, for example, Plato''s_ Republic_? |
7834 | Was she not thine who chose thee? |
7834 | Was this a fault in Wagner? |
7834 | Were mighty death standing before me threatening body and life-- that life which so gladly I resign to my love-- how could its stroke reach our love? |
7834 | What can it have to do with"temperance, courage, liberality"? |
7834 | What did the wicked day lie to thee that thou shouldst betray thy beloved who was destined for thee? |
7834 | What didst thou vow, oh woman? |
7834 | What else but the art- collections and musical performances? |
7834 | What hast thou to answer? |
7834 | What sane- minded person can possibly take an interest in a succession of childish tricks played by two lovesick boobies upon a half- witted old man? |
7834 | What would King Marke say if I were to slay his best servant who has preserved for him crown and realm? |
7834 | What, for example, could be more admirable than this description of Mozart? |
7834 | When Morold lived, who would have dared to offer us such an insult?... |
7834 | Where are we? |
7834 | Whither, oh mother, hast thou bestowed the might over the sea and the storm? |
7834 | Who has never had the memory of his home or of some place familiar to his childhood recalled by the scent of a flower or a plant? |
7834 | Who has not met with such? |
7834 | Who shall say? |
7834 | Why could he not have lowered the curtain on the lovers united with Marke''s full approval? |
7834 | Why did not the poet take the opportunity offered and spare us the harrowing scenes at the end? |
7834 | Why did the very name of Italian opera become a by- word for all that is frivolous and inartistic in dramatic art? |
7834 | Why may we not accept it as it is evidently intended? |
7834 | Why, for example, should a given melody in thirds on two bassoons denote a ring? |
7834 | Why, then, did it not succeed? |
7834 | and why should it bear a thematic kinship to another melody denoting Walhall? |
7834 | aut in quo contristavi te? |

43412 | And what was the consequence? |
43412 | And yet he wrote from Vienna to his father( May 16, 1781):"I was a fool about Lange''s wife, that is certain; but who is not when he is in love? |

43412 | I rubbed my eyes and said:''Where the deuce did you get that idea?'' |
43412 | I thought to myself,"Where are you to go to? |
43412 | I was a fool about Madame Lange, that is true; but who is not when he is in love? |
43412 | I was not formerly, when her father was poor, and why should I be so now when she may make your fortune instead of you hers? |
43412 | In Mozart''s autograph score the flute part is left blank: was the player to improvise?] |
43412 | In Prater? |
43412 | In unpleased surprise Joseph asked:"What, do you mean to forsake me, Mozart?" |
43412 | Is it necessary that we should both go to him after dinner to- day? |
43412 | Is it not the case that all possible measures were taken to drive my son out of Salzburg?" |
43412 | Is it so?" |
43412 | Is it true that I have never answered you? |
43412 | Is it your d----d religion?" |
43412 | Is not the pleasure of a fickle and capricious love a thousand times removed from the blessedness accompanying a sincere and rational affection? |
43412 | Litt., XI.,? |
43412 | Not finding it she called to her husband:"Liebes Mandl, wo ists Bandl?" |
43412 | Of course I could not go, and who do you think was there? |
43412 | Shall I announce myself as a scoundrel, and the Archbishop as a worthy prince? |
43412 | Shall I embitter my life at its very opening? |
43412 | Tell me now, dear father, should I not have had to say this sooner or later? |
43412 | The Archbishop acknowledges to being in the wrong now; but had he not opportunities enough for acknowledging it before? |
43412 | Then suddenly springing up, as his manner was, he cried:"Now, what do you think of that? |
43412 | Was blauscht der? |
43412 | What is there to prevent his having a prosperous career in Vienna, if he only has a little patience? |
43412 | What is to become of an opera without singers, either male or female? |
43412 | What is your opinion? |
43412 | What other cause could there be? |

43412 | What would be the end of it? |
43412 | When I went in he was standing in the first room by the stove, and he came straight up to me and asked if I had anything to do to- day? |
43412 | When did Gluck, when did Piccinni, when did all these people come forward? |
43412 | Whether it will please generally I do not know; and, truth to say, I care very little; for whom have I to please? |
43412 | Who did not know, who did not respect, who did not love our worthy brother, Mozart? |
43412 | Who has not been charmed again and again by the last melody, which, like a shining meteor, sheds light and cheerfulness around? |
43412 | Who of us that saw him then, my brethren, would have supposed his days to be numbered? |
43412 | Who would have thought that in three weeks we should be mourning his loss? |
43412 | Why did he not seek them out? |
43412 | Why do Italian comic operas always please, in spite of their wretched librettos-- even in Paris, as I was witness myself? |
43412 | With this idea he writes to his father( December 16, 1780):--_ À propos!_ how about the Archbishop? |
43412 | With unselfish emotion Mozart exclaimed:"How can I desert my good Emperor?" |
43412 | You know Frau Adlgasser? |
43412 | You will laugh, no doubt? |
43412 | [ 103] But what of Mozart''s inclination for strong drink, so often talked of? |
43412 | [ Footnote 21: When Stadler once complained to him of an awkward passage, and wished it altered, Mozart said:"Have you the notes in your instrument?" |

40643 | All the next morning he was unable to calm himself, so at last he took a lute and sang: Oh, how shall I measure The joy of our meeting? |
40643 | And the ballades-- the first wonderful, quite new; only I do not understand the_ doppio movimento_ either in this or the second, is it not too fast? |
40643 | And yet who will deny that much"lies in the air"to- day which had formerly to be won by hard fighting, or to be developed entirely from within?'' |

40643 | Asking Marxsen if he considers the pianoforte pieces worth publishing, he adds as to the proposed title:''What do you think of it? |
40643 | Beethoven or Mozart? |
40643 | Brahms did not immediately answer, and I added:''Would you rather not? |
40643 | Brahms glanced at me with rather an inquiring expression, and asked,''Why?'' |
40643 | Brendel had not only sent him each work as it appeared, but had urged him to write, asking repeatedly,''Why nothing about Brahms?'' |
40643 | But of what use would it be if I were to delay any longer saying plainly what I feel? |
40643 | But the hissing was too much?... |
40643 | But where was Brahms? |

40643 | But why have you placed your inclination upon a stranger of whom no one knows whence he came? |
40643 | C minor, A major, or G major? |
40643 | Could either of them replace amongst our highest possessions a really great play, a great poem, a great symphony? |

40643 | How do you know?'' |
40643 | How many had ever heard anything about the adventures of Magelone and Peter? |

40643 | I only hope you will like it, and that it is not too high? |
40643 | I shall myself write also to Brahms; does his portrait by de Laurens still hang in my study? |
40643 | If at Winsen, why not also at Lüneburg and Celle? |
40643 | Is he dark or fair?'' |
40643 | Is he flying high-- or only amongst flowers? |

40643 | One morning my father, coming into the room at the close of my lesson, asked Brahms:''Has she been a good girl to- day?'' |
40643 | Peter roused himself and softly sang the following song: Is it gladness that is ringing, Is it sorrow, in my heart? |
40643 | Some of it is copied from the newspapers; what is she to do when she has no more news? |
40643 | The famous Dramas are gorgeous stage poems; but are they so exceptionally and extraordinarily elevating to the mind? |
40643 | Then he sang with great fervour: Were they thine on which these lips were pressing, Thine the frankly- offered, tender kiss? |
40643 | Upon this Brahms broke silence with the words,"Do they live close by, then, like everyone else?" |
40643 | Was our true love all in vain? |

26320 | Would he approve of such a proceeding? 26320 Your daughter, I take it, is a modern girl?" |

26320 | But, some one will argue, with the passing of_ bel canto_ what will become of the operas of Mozart, Bellini, Rossini, and Donizetti? |
26320 | By this time we were determined to dance; but where? |
26320 | Can any of our young misses hum_ Di Tanti Palpiti_? |

26320 | Should we not allot similar approval to the actor or actress who makes a fine effect in one part or in one kind of part? |
26320 | Should we regard, for example,''Imperial Purple''less a work of creative art than''The Rise of Silas Lapham''?" |
26320 | Should we say that there is no art of painting because the Germans have no great painters? |
26320 | Should we thank the behemoth for this miracle? |

46102 | Always on entering they say"Good day"and the proprietor comes up with"How can I serve you,_ gnädiges Fräulein_?" |
46102 | Am I living in another world? |
46102 | Amerika!_"What mattered it that it was only an unpretentious pupils''concert? |
46102 | And the drum in the scherzo-- who could ever forget it? |
46102 | And the giants were such wild- looking creatures with grotesque tufts of hair on the crown of their heads-- should I have taken them more seriously? |
46102 | Beethoven has indeed caught the spiritual note, do n''t you think so? |
46102 | Can Germany and the dear old Hof- Theatre be but a day''s trip away? |
46102 | Can you imagine anything more fascinating than living in a house where every nook and corner is alive with memories of the past? |
46102 | Can you imagine spending Christmas riding through the Brenner Pass? |
46102 | Did I play any"pieces"or only"five- finger exercises"? |
46102 | Did I say no carpet? |
46102 | Did I tell you that a servant is engaged at so much a week_ with_ beer? |
46102 | Did I tell you that some weeks ago I made a translation into English of the_ Rosenlied_( Rose- song) by Anna Ritter? |
46102 | Did I use the loud pedal much? |
46102 | Did I write you that the Americans in the_ pension_ opposite were to give a St. Valentine''s party? |
46102 | Did you ever notice the effect of a boy with pompadour hair opening his mouth very wide? |
46102 | Did you know the tarts here are not nearly so good as those in Berlin? |
46102 | Do n''t you know that ten pfennigs( two cents and a half) for each person is considered quite sufficient?" |
46102 | Do you know it? |
46102 | Do you know that the men bow first in this country? |
46102 | Do you not feel proud when I tell you that out of the ten medals presented two were captured by American girls? |
46102 | Do your æsthetic sensibilities shrink at these materialistic descriptions? |
46102 | Does n''t it sound interesting? |
46102 | Does n''t that sound imposing, as though I had graduated with honors from some academy? |
46102 | Does n''t that strike you as rather extraordinary? |
46102 | Does that stop the cry of the heart?--for it does cry: does n''t it? |
46102 | Have I explained that in front of the Feldernhalle is a triangular open space? |
46102 | Have you ever been among the mountains in winter? |
46102 | Have you ever seen a gull circling with wide- spread wings above a fish in the water beneath, and then suddenly dart down and bear away his prey? |
46102 | How did you guess? |
46102 | I am right, am I not,_ Herr Sekretariat_?" |
46102 | I can hardly imagine a placid Tschaikowsky or an unruffled Dvorák, can you? |
46102 | I managed to get Beethoven''s"_ Kennst du das Land?_"to suit her, but only after much toil for both of us. |
46102 | I was longing to ask"Reuben who"? |
46102 | Is it possible that it is only her money that he is after? |
46102 | Is it that which the fountain-- my fountain, as I claim it now-- sang to me as I passed to- day? |
46102 | Is n''t it queer to picture the nobility of Europe as running boarding- houses? |
46102 | Is n''t that fine, and does n''t it make you long to be with us? |
46102 | Is n''t that truly German? |
46102 | Is there anything in the world grander, more truly religious than a Bach choral? |
46102 | Is there anything in the world more marvellous than music or more indescribable than its hidden soul? |
46102 | Is there anything more lovely than the quintette? |
46102 | Is there anything more marvellously worked out than that street scene? |
46102 | M. Do you know the"Beethoven- Lied"by Cornelius? |
46102 | O departed gods of Olympus, is there anything more disheartening than this Fashionable Insincerity? |
46102 | Or did I myself unconsciously hum the melody and hear in the ripple of the falling water the soft rhythm of accompanying''cellos and violins? |
46102 | Realizing all this, I judged it wiser to change the subject by asking quickly,--"Are the girls coming to- day?" |
46102 | Strange, is it not, with what a keenly human note inanimate things sometimes appeal to us? |
46102 | Then what do you think he did? |
46102 | To what are we coming next? |
46102 | Was I at fault because when I first heard the giant motif I smiled? |
46102 | Was n''t it sweet of her? |
46102 | What do you think I paid for my seat? |
46102 | What do you think they are doing? |
46102 | What do you think? |
46102 | What need when I am writing to one who Understands? |
46102 | When I tell you that it was my first hearing of"Tristan and Isolde"in the wonderful new Prince Regent Theatre, are you surprised that I hesitate? |
46102 | Who do you think it was? |
46102 | Who ever associated sausages with anything so idyllic as a waterfall? |
46102 | Who ever thought of connecting them with the legends of the Middle Ages? |
46102 | Who was it said that in Tristan the"thrills relieve one another in squads"? |
46102 | Why is it that the most shrinking, retiring, and timid- appearing member of an orchestra is always the one to play the instruments of percussion? |
46102 | Why not?" |
46102 | Why on earth did n''t they rise and go out? |
46102 | Why, you inquire? |
46102 | Will you tell my aunt? |
46102 | Would I pardon him if he gave me my lesson in his hunting costume? |
46102 | You have heard that old adage, have n''t you,"Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone"? |
46102 | You remember the time when he was such a prominent conductor and musician in Boston, do you not? |
46102 | as in a fit of indigestion? |
46102 | while his wife joined in with,"Is n''t Wagner simply delicious?" |
13843 | Well, Musetta,I questioned:"How''s your heart?" |
13843 | ( MUSETTA_ without noticing_ ALCINDORO_, takes a vacant seat, outside the café._) How now? |
13843 | ( Mimi revives) Do you feel better? |
13843 | ( archly) Who knows, sir? |
13843 | ( aside to MARCEL) Art mad? |
13843 | ( conducting her to a chair near the tire) A little wine? |
13843 | ( coquettishly) Could I not come with you? |
13843 | ( interrupting) Another tipple? |
13843 | ( offering BENOIT a glass of wine) Some Bordeaux? |
13843 | ( seeing the rest in the act of eating the cold pastry) What are you doing? |
13843 | ( to BENOIT, without noticing the two) Hast seen it? |
13843 | (_ A timid knock is heard at the door._) Who''s there? |
13843 | (_ Checks himself, seeing a fire in the stove._) See I a fire here? |
13843 | (_ Haggling with the tinker._) What''s the price of the lot? |
13843 | (_ Turning to his work._) And you? |
13843 | (_ approaching the window_) Who are they? |
13843 | (_ aside to the others_) What is there to give her? |
13843 | (_ crying_) Who''ll buy some pretty toys from Parpignol? |
13843 | (_ eagerly_) What plot is brewing? |
13843 | (_ eating_) COL. What''s that about forgiveness? |
13843 | (_ endeavoring to conceal his emotion from_ Marcel,_ carelessly questions him_) What time is it now? |
13843 | (_ faintly in the distance_) Who''ll buy some pretty toys from Parpignol? |
13843 | (_ from within_) What d''ye mean? |
13843 | (_ huskily, almost in a speaking voice_) What''s the meaning of this going and this coming, And these glances so strange? |
13843 | (_ in an undertone to MIMI_) Mimi, what would you like? |
13843 | (_ incredulously_) Tin medals? |
13843 | (_ looking curiously at RUDOLPH_) Do you know who she is? |
13843 | (_ resuming his talk_) In a coupé? |
13843 | (_ rises and approaches_ Colline,_ observing with droll inquisitiveness_) What''s in the wind? |
13843 | (_ running to open the door_) Is it? |
13843 | (_ showing one to_ MARCEL) You''re deaf then, or blear- eyed? |
13843 | (_ suddenly seeing_ MIMI_ look round suspiciously_) What is it? |
13843 | (_ to RUDOLPH_) Sleeping? |
13843 | (_ to_ Colline) What? |
13843 | (_ to_ MARCEL,_ offering him some bread_) Choose, my lord marquis-- salmon or turbot? |
13843 | (_ to_ Rudolph) Did you give me this present? |
13843 | (_ watching MARCEL; in a loud voice to MARCEL_) Why, do n''t you know me? |
13843 | (_ with comic terror_) Intend you to read it? |
13843 | Are you jealous? |
13843 | Are you not well? |
13843 | Are you then in love? |
13843 | Are you? |
13843 | Beneath the pillow You''ll find my little bonnet-- Who knows? |
13843 | But who has got my purse? |
13843 | COL. Who bade him bring it? |
13843 | COL. Who knows what will happen now? |
13843 | COL. Who? |
13843 | Can you find me the painter, Marcel? |
13843 | Colline, are you dead yet? |
13843 | Deny? |
13843 | Do you hear me? |
13843 | Do you then dismiss me? |
13843 | Do you think it serious? |
13843 | Do you think this rose- trimmed bonnet suits me? |
13843 | Emma, do n''t you hear me? |
13843 | Found it? |
13843 | Going? |
13843 | Have they left us? |
13843 | Have you found it? |
13843 | He has good taste, then? |
13843 | Here? |
13843 | How now? |
13843 | How now? |
13843 | How shall I get them warm? |
13843 | Is that a living? |
13843 | Is that your latest whim? |
13843 | Let''s play together, let''s play the game of buy and sell: Who''ll give a penny for my guileless heart? |
13843 | Like this? |
13843 | Musetta? |
13843 | No coffee? |
13843 | Now that I''ve told my story, Pray tell me yours, too; Tell me frankly, who are you? |
13843 | Now you that once your love for me betrayed, Why should you be dismayed? |
13843 | Of what use are the forests all white under the snow? |
13843 | On returning? |
13843 | Our own age, less or more? |
13843 | Outside? |
13843 | Please, sir, tell me the name of that tavern Where now a painter''s working? |
13843 | Say, what has happened? |
13843 | Say, will you tell? |
13843 | Shall I be frank? |
13843 | Shall I? |
13843 | Shall we await another spring? |
13843 | Some dancing, accompanied by singing? |
13843 | Tell me how many years Boast you of, my dear sir? |
13843 | The key of my poor chamber, Where can I have left it? |
13843 | Then, you are going to leave me? |
13843 | To buy the bonnet? |
13843 | Wake him? |
13843 | Well, shall we see you later? |
13843 | Well? |
13843 | What can I do to aid her? |
13843 | What can it be that sets you all a- gaping? |
13843 | What d''ye mean? |
13843 | What do you there, so lonely? |
13843 | What face do they show? |
13843 | What has happened, idler? |
13843 | What now? |
13843 | What now? |
13843 | What said the doctor? |
13843 | What will people say? |
13843 | What''s he saying? |
13843 | What''s in the basket? |
13843 | What''s in the wind? |
13843 | What''s in the wind? |
13843 | What''s my employment? |
13843 | What''s the matter? |
13843 | What, Mimi? |
13843 | What, so quickly? |
13843 | When I seek him, in answer to my question,"When shall we start the lessons?" |
13843 | When shall we start the lessons? |
13843 | Where can it be? |
13843 | Where can it be? |
13843 | Where is Rudolph? |
13843 | Where is the food? |
13843 | Which way, then, are you going? |
13843 | Who can not detect in the delicate profile of one woman the personality both of Mimi and of Francine? |
13843 | Who can revive a love that''s dead? |
13843 | Who is it? |
13843 | Who is there? |
13843 | Who''ll buy my carrots? |
13843 | Who, as he reads of Mimi''s"little hands, whiter than those of the Goddess of Ease,"is not reminded of Francine''s little muff? |
13843 | Why not? |
13843 | Why should you weep for me? |
13843 | Why this anger? |
13843 | Why this fury? |
13843 | Will they come along this way? |
13843 | Will you aid us, then, Will you aid us to part? |
13843 | Yes, you are going, my little Mimi? |
13843 | Yet how may I reply? |
13843 | You heard, you heard me? |
13843 | You love me? |
13843 | You saw her? |
13843 | You will not leave me? |
13843 | You''ve found it? |
13843 | all he said was:"Are you very fond of dancing?" |
13843 | and COL. Shall King Louis Philippe at our feet thus lie low? |
13843 | and the key-- where can it be? |
13843 | but where? |
13843 | do you remember how we both went shopping When first we fell in love? |
13843 | laughing lassies, will you play at love? |
13843 | my most noble courtier? |
13843 | no more than that? |
13843 | no wine? |
13843 | sated? |
13843 | what of that? |
13843 | would you now such bitter pain recall? |
13843 | you hear not? |
38597 | (_ Pounds with his staff._) Does the majesty of the law mean naught to ye? |
38597 | (_ Shows them._) Do they look like useful members? |
38597 | (_ Takes withered flower from his breast and kisses it, then looks around him._) Where am I? |
38597 | A farmer''s daughter? |
38597 | Ah, what can be the matter? |
38597 | Ah,''tis agony and rapture, Thus once more her face to view, She''s consenting to my capture, Break, then, heart, what else canst do? |
38597 | And darn our socks and mend our shirts? |
38597 | And what can you do, you useless bit of baggage? |
38597 | Are all girls as lovely as you? |
38597 | Are you afraid to stay alone with me? |
38597 | Are you crazy? |
38597 | Arrest him? |
38597 | Arrest me? |
38597 | As for you, how shall I bear the memory of your treachery? |
38597 | Before mine eyes beheld thee, my heart recognized thee-- LADY H. Recognized me? |
38597 | Betsy Ann-- what do you mean? |
38597 | Betsy Ann? |
38597 | Betsy, too? |
38597 | But what can one expect from populace? |
38597 | Can we escape so-- all alone? |
38597 | Certainly-- and who with a lighter heart? |
38597 | Come here, my girl: lend a hand then, will you, Betsy? |
38597 | Come, can you tell me, read me the riddle, What to our lordly British name Gives power and fame-- Come, say? |
38597 | Come, say? |
38597 | Command, sir? |
38597 | Cruel girl, does it add to your joy To wound the heart that loves you well? |
38597 | Did that hand not heavy chains Heap upon me, heedless after? |
38597 | Did you really think I meant the girls to stick their spears into you? |
38597 | Do n''t you know it? |
38597 | Do you mean what you say? |
38597 | Do you think you can play fast and loose with a master in that fashion? |
38597 | Does he seem to have no moments when he knows you? |
38597 | Fair Cousin, may I ah-- dare hope that you-- er-- will so far condescend to me-- uh-- uh-- as to go for a walk in the park? |
38597 | Ha, ha, ha, spin, sir? |
38597 | Have you heard? |
38597 | Have you picked out your Betsy Ann? |
38597 | Have you taken the money? |
38597 | He follows._) Is it thus that masters treat a servant? |
38597 | How could I ever have spoken harshly to her? |
38597 | How so? |
38597 | How, sir? |
38597 | I old John? |
38597 | I wonder how such peasants talk? |
38597 | I, a peasant? |
38597 | I, old John? |
38597 | I, your master? |
38597 | I? |
38597 | In my dream let me take your hand, as I did once-- do you remember? |
38597 | Is it you? |
38597 | It is really too horrid, do n''t you know? |
38597 | John? |
38597 | Just to hold your hands and chatter? |
38597 | Kind, I? |
38597 | LADY H. Afraid? |
38597 | LADY H. Ah,''tis agony and rapture, That he loves me is too true, I''m consenting to his capture, O my heart, what can I do? |
38597 | LADY H. But can you not see that I am not worth my salt? |
38597 | LADY H. Do n''t you know? |
38597 | LADY H. Must we with wet fingers clasp it? |
38597 | LADY H. O, what shall I do now? |
38597 | LADY H. Oh, can these eyes, grown dim with grief, And wan with tears, seek to betray you? |
38597 | LADY H. What do_ you_ say? |
38597 | LADY H. Who but you? |
38597 | LADY H. Who could refuse such a tempting offer? |
38597 | LADY H. You mean as your servants? |
38597 | Lady? |
38597 | Listen my lads and tell me truly What in our land you most do prize? |
38597 | Madness? |
38597 | Madness? |
38597 | Martha, Martha, what are we going to do? |
38597 | Martha, why are you going? |
38597 | Martha? |
38597 | Never worked before? |
38597 | Now, my lass, what can you do? |
38597 | O who is coming? |
38597 | O, Lionel, do n''t you know me? |
38597 | O, how have I offended? |
38597 | O, what is it? |
38597 | Of you? |
38597 | Oh, how can I elude him? |
38597 | Open it, open it-- don''t you hear? |
38597 | Perhaps you were not kind to her? |
38597 | Pray tell me what this means? |
38597 | Set us spinning? |
38597 | Shall we go hunting, perhaps? |
38597 | Stay-- and be my wife!-- LADY H. Oh, what is he saying? |
38597 | That one seems quite bashful, does n''t he? |
38597 | There''s a voice speaks in my heart night and day, What is the word soft it would say? |
38597 | They might do house work? |
38597 | To remain alone-- with me? |
38597 | Turn it? |
38597 | We''re to spin? |
38597 | Well, my good man, what is it? |
38597 | What I? |
38597 | What ails you now? |
38597 | What are you afraid of? |
38597 | What are you doing here in this masquerade? |
38597 | What do you say, Lionel? |
38597 | What do you want? |
38597 | What else could a fellow do but try to keep you heartened up a little? |
38597 | What else? |
38597 | What folly''s this? |
38597 | What has alarmed you? |
38597 | What is it? |
38597 | What is she going to say now, the witch? |
38597 | What is the voice that whispers in your heart? |
38597 | What is there to laugh at? |
38597 | What old John? |
38597 | What shall we do? |
38597 | What should make you so sad? |
38597 | What was that? |
38597 | What will he think? |
38597 | What you here for, may I ask? |
38597 | What''s occur''d? |
38597 | What''s that you say? |
38597 | What''s the matter? |
38597 | What''s worth your eyes? |
38597 | What? |
38597 | What_ can_ you do? |
38597 | When I first that hand did claim, Was I not repulsed with laughter? |
38597 | Where can Lady Harriet be? |
38597 | Where do you suppose she was? |
38597 | Where have your eyes been? |
38597 | Where_ has_ Nancy gone? |
38597 | Wherefore this pretence? |
38597 | Who are you? |
38597 | Who is John? |
38597 | Why did you leave their company, fair cousin? |
38597 | Why do you disown me? |
38597 | Why not? |
38597 | Why our friendly circle shunning, Dost thou sigh alone, As were some dawning joy delayed? |
38597 | Why should she act so grand? |
38597 | Will you dance at the wedding? |
38597 | Will you go, sir? |
38597 | Wo n''t invite me? |
38597 | Would it amuse you to-- er-- er-- let us say-- go out for a row on the river? |
38597 | You agree? |
38597 | You do not find them funny? |
38597 | You had no one but mother and me, old chap, do n''t you see? |
38597 | You have troubles of your own? |
38597 | You hear, sir? |
38597 | You will let them go-- this useless pair of hands? |
38597 | You''d degrade yourself like this? |
38597 | You? |
38597 | do you know who this is? |
38597 | what is this? |
4939 | Do you see the cattle in this meadow? |
4939 | Is that a dog barking? |
4939 | Looked at from the musician''s point of view, how much do we not see novel and strange, beautiful and fascinating withal? 4939 What do you think of this?" |
4939 | What shall I give you? |
4939 | 17, dedicated to Lena Freppa? |
4939 | 2 of this set? |
4939 | 23, in F, or the last, in D minor? |
4939 | 25: What more do we require to pass one or several evenings in as perfect a happiness as possible? |
4939 | 6, in F sharp minor? |
4939 | And is he to be blamed for evading tiresome reminders of the past? |
4939 | And is there any significance in the fact that Chopin, when sending this manuscript to Fontana, probably in the summer of 1841, calls it a concerto? |
4939 | And now, having passed over the salt and stubbly domain of pedagogics, what is the dominant impression gleaned from the twenty- seven Chopin studies? |
4939 | And was it the Goncourts who dared to assert that,"there are no women of genius: women of genius are men"? |
4939 | And why may not Art speak for once in such symbols? |
4939 | Are Celt and Slav doomed to follow ever the phosphorescent lights of patriotism? |
4939 | Are the Godowsky transcriptions available? |
4939 | But then as Mr. Philip Hale asks: Why this timidity at being called decadent? |
4939 | But what of that? |
4939 | But why is a Pole to receive less justice than a German? |
4939 | Can anything be more bewitching than the episode in C sharp minor merging into E major, with the overflow at the close? |
4939 | Can anything be more impressive than this opening? |
4939 | Charming, is it not? |
4939 | Chopin seldom wrote ugly music, but is this not ugly, forlorn, despairing, almost grotesque, and discordant? |
4939 | Could a lover''s confusion be more deliciously enhanced by silence and hesitation?" |
4939 | Czerny admired the young pianist with the elastic hand and on his second visit to Vienna, characteristically inquired,"Are you still industrious?" |
4939 | De Lenz in a note quotes Meyerbeer as saying-- Meyerbeer, who quarrelled with Chopin about the rhythm of a mazurka--"Can one reduce women to notation? |
4939 | Did he not once resent the visit of Liszt and a companion to his apartments when he was absent? |
4939 | Does the finale indicate by its minor key the gayety of a man devoid of hope-- as the Germans say?" |
4939 | God calls me; why do you keep me back?" |
4939 | He tells all about the interview in a letter to Titus:"Are you a pupil of Field''s?" |
4939 | Heaven- born geniuses are sometimes very keen in financial transactions, and indeed why should they not be? |
4939 | His lyricism is most human, while the portamento, the slides, trills and indescribably subtle turns-- are they not of the violin? |
4939 | How should I begin to bring it back to God? |
4939 | If Chopin, diseased to death''s door, could erect such a Palace of Dreams, what might not he have dared had he been healthy? |
4939 | If Scarlatti wrote sonatas, what is the Appassionata? |
4939 | If the A flat Weber is one, can the F minor Brahms be called a sonata? |
4939 | If"Don Quixote"is one, how can"Madame Bovary"be another? |
4939 | If"Les Miserables"is included in the list, what are we to say to Huysmans''"La Bas"? |
4939 | Indeed how could it be, with the light action and tone of the French pianos built in the first half of the century? |
4939 | Is it not happiness, gayety, love for the world and men? |
4939 | Is it not one of admiration, tinged with wonder at such a prodigal display of thematic and technical invention? |
4939 | Is it not rather youth exuberant with intensity and life? |
4939 | Is it not strong and energetic, concluding, as it does, with three cannon shots?" |
4939 | Is it not time the ridiculous falsehoods about the Chopin rubato be exposed? |
4939 | Is some forlorn princess locked behind these solemn, inaccessible bars? |
4939 | Is the Haydn form orthodox and the Schumann heterodox? |
4939 | Is the Lady with the Green Eyes and Moon White Face rescued? |
4939 | Is the Polish composer to become a musical Hugh Conway? |
4939 | Is this the nocturne of which Tausig spoke to his pupil Joseffy as belonging to the Master''s"best period,"or did he refer to the one in E minor? |
4939 | It is dedicated to Comtesse Moriolles, and was published in 1827(?). |
4939 | It is irregular and wavering in outline, the moods are wandering and capricious, yet who dares deny its power, its beauty? |
4939 | It is logical, but is it Chopin? |
4939 | It is profoundly ironical-- what else means the introduction of that lovely mazurka,"a flower between two abysses"? |
4939 | It looks neater, sounds the same, but is it Chopin? |
4939 | It was published in 1841(? |
4939 | Its widely dispersed harmonies, its murmuring grace and June- like beauty, are they not Chopin, the Chopin we best love? |
4939 | Just when his individual soul germinated, who may tell? |
4939 | Let me die; why do you prolong my life when I have renounced all things and God has enlightened my soul? |
4939 | Liszt''s influence was stimulating, but what did not Chopin do for Liszt? |
4939 | Mary, Queen of Scots, has her Meline; why should not Sand boast of at least one apologist for her life-- besides herself? |
4939 | Maybe he has not anything to buy bread for mother? |
4939 | Monotonous? |
4939 | Mother, poor suffering mother, is it for this you outlived your daughter?" |
4939 | Now do you ask why I believe that Sand left Chopin when she was bored with him? |
4939 | Now where is the"tradition"when confronted by the mighty crashing of Rosenthal in this particular part of the Polonaise? |
4939 | Now, which is right? |
4939 | Of it Schumann could not ask,"How is gravity to clothe itself if jest goes about in dark veils?" |
4939 | Oh, father, is this the consolation of your old age? |
4939 | Or is all this a De Quincey''s Dream Fugue translated into tone-- a sonorous, awesome vision? |
4939 | Or was he a rejected suitor? |
4939 | Perhaps my sisters have fallen victims to the fury of the Muscovite soldiers? |
4939 | Perhaps spontaneity is impaired, mais que voulez vous? |
4939 | Perhaps the last two movements do hold together, but what have they in common with the first two? |
4939 | Perhaps they hunger? |
4939 | Really, is any great genius quite sane according to philistine standards? |
4939 | Rubinstein, or was it originally Tausig who named it"Night winds sweeping over the churchyard graves"? |
4939 | So these sonatas of Chopin are not sonatas at all, but, throwing titles to the dogs, would we forego the sensations that two of them evoke? |
4939 | That draws around me at last this wind- warm space, And in regenerate rapture turns my face Upon the devious coverts of dismay? |
4939 | That first subject, is it not almost as ethically puissant and passionate as Beethoven in his F minor Sonata? |
4939 | The Jew returns indoors, shaking his head and again asking,"What was this?" |
4939 | The mazurkas and polonaises are danced to- day in Poland, why not the valses? |
4939 | The sketches of nature, of country life, have positive value, but where has vanished her gallery of Byronic passion- pursued women? |
4939 | There is not an abundant literature for this kingly instrument, in conjunction with the piano, so why flaunt Chopin''s contribution? |
4939 | This valse is a favorite, and who need wonder? |
4939 | Thus Von Bulow-- and who will dare cavil? |
4939 | To the doctor''s good wife he replied in answer to the question"George Sand is your particular friend?" |
4939 | Was the American pianist, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, ever his pupil? |
4939 | Were ever Beauty and Duty so mated in double harness? |
4939 | What can be more"appassionata"than the opening with its"grand rhythmical swing"? |
4939 | What can one say new of the tremendous F sharp minor Polonaise? |
4939 | What could not he have accomplished with the modern grand piano? |
4939 | What has reverence to do with the case, anyhow? |
4939 | What mighty, desperate cause is being espoused? |
4939 | What should I do to restore his faith, how not to lose instead of saving this beloved soul? |
4939 | What should I say to him? |
4939 | What''s in the name? |
4939 | When peace is presaged in the key of B, is this the prize for which strive these agonized hosts? |
4939 | Where are the Lelias, the Indianas, the Rudolstadts? |
4939 | Which is correct? |
4939 | Which means that Chopin was not such a realist as Beethoven? |
4939 | Who conquers? |
4939 | Who could retain everything? |
4939 | Why all these disjecta membra of a sketch- book? |
4939 | Why could it not at least have worn second mourning? |
4939 | Why then is Chopin singled out as the evil and solitary representative of a vicious time- beat? |
4939 | what is this that knows the road I came, The flame turned cloud, the cloud returned to flame, The lifted, shifted steeps and all the way? |
39754 | ''Has he written for the piano, too?'' 39754 ''Now what is the second part of the first allegro like?'' |
39754 | ''What''s that? 39754 ''Where did you get such a ghastly idea?'' |
39754 | ''Where does Mr. Liszt live?'' 39754 Am I a piano teacher?" |
39754 | And Joseffy? |
39754 | And what soul thus cruelly bruised, when the tempest rolls away, seeks not to rest its memories in the pleasant calm of rural life? |
39754 | Before we had a chance to hint of one hope long deferred, that of hearing Liszt play, he asked,''Have you heard Bülow?'' 39754 Do we experience this exaltation nowadays? |
39754 | How is it, my esteemed and beloved friend, you have never forgiven? |
39754 | Is it possible, I ask, to make a more difficult avowal with more delicacy or greater frankness? 39754 Liszt smote his breast thrice, and continued:''I know a man( or is it indeed a human being?) |
39754 | The bit stuck in my mouth, and, trembling with indignation, I said sharply:''My prince, am I not your guest, too? |
39754 | What is life but a series of preludes to that unknown song whose initial solemn note is tolled by Death? 39754 What response did Liszt make to these rude words? |
39754 | You ask how he played? 39754 You would like to hear something about Liszt? |
39754 | _ Wer aber wird nun Liszt helfen?_This half humorous, half pathetic cry of his had its tragic significance. |
39754 | ''Well, what did you think of him?'' |
39754 | ''What are you doing, my dear friend?'' |
39754 | ''Will you play?'' |
39754 | ( Query: What is the symphonic archetype?) |
39754 | ( Which should you prefer hearing, the Norma of Thalberg or the Lucia of Liszt? |
39754 | ("O Lord, how long? |
39754 | A LISZT SON? |
39754 | A grim smile passed over the face of the great composer as he replied:"O Herr, wie lang?" |
39754 | Aloud, and in a tone of astonishment, Liszt repeated the words,''Received for my playing?'' |
39754 | Already on the way to Kalkbrenner( who plays a note of his now? |
39754 | Am I dreaming, or under a spell? |
39754 | And can not Weimar lay claim to a Tannhäuser performance as early as 1849, the Lohengrin production in 1850, and the Flying Dutchman in 1853? |
39754 | And do not I play in Ratibor, and with a Nachtigall? |
39754 | And how many more? |
39754 | And the public? |
39754 | And the third Mephisto Waltz for piano? |
39754 | And then were there not Liszt and his Princess Wittgenstein at Weimar, and the crew of pupils, courtiers and bohemians who collected at the Altenburg? |
39754 | And what soul thus cruelly bruised, when the tempest rolls away, seeks not to rest its memories in the calm of rural life? |
39754 | And when was there ever such a friend? |
39754 | Angelo consented willingly to pose for the piper, but all questions as to his family extraction were answered with a laconic Chi lo sa? |
39754 | Architecture is nearest allied to music in its fundamental principles-- can a formless house or church or any other building be imagined? |
39754 | Are there no more enchanters like Liszt? |
39754 | As a man or as an artist? |
39754 | At last she asked him in a cool and off- hand manner:"''Did you do a good stroke of business at the concert you gave in Italy?'' |
39754 | Brahms or Reger? |
39754 | But an apostate? |
39754 | But could she have foreseen that Richard Strauss, Parsifal- like, had caught the whizzing lance of the Klingsor of Weimar, what would she have said? |
39754 | But for what instrument were the sonatas of Beethoven composed? |
39754 | But seeing that Chopin evolved so much, why should he not also have evolved this? |
39754 | But what boots leading motives-- as old as the hills and Johann Sebastian Bach-- or symphonic poems nowadays? |
39754 | But what was it that happened? |
39754 | But what was to be done? |
39754 | But why did you talk about Kalkbrenner, and a sonata by him for the left hand? |
39754 | But, my dear friend, how was it two months ago at the Conservatory that with the same piece you produced such a wonderful effect? |
39754 | Did Liszt ever love? |
39754 | Did Wagner mean it all? |
39754 | Do his hands only attend to the office of a double winch on a street organ? |
39754 | Do we know many of the great artists capable of writing''the defective side of my talent''? |
39754 | Do you know the Polonaise, by Tschaïkowsky, transcribed by him? |
39754 | Do you not hear the croaking of Poe''s raven? |
39754 | Does not invention belong to such characteristic variation? |
39754 | Had she not been nicknamed"Fürstin Hinter- Liszt"because of the way she followed him from town to town when he was giving concerts? |
39754 | Has he to dispense with his brain and with his feelings in his mechanical execution of the prescribed performance? |
39754 | Has he to supply the ear only with a photograph of the object before him? |
39754 | Has n''t some one said,"See Naples and die-- of its smells?" |
39754 | Have I indeed heard Liszt? |
39754 | Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven had never written anything else; who would have dared to do other than they? |
39754 | He asks, is he never to be taken more seriously than as a pianist, is he not worthy of recognition as a musician, a composer? |
39754 | How can any one_ recite_ upon the pianoforte?" |
39754 | How did Liszt bear the disappointment? |
39754 | How does he accomplish this? |
39754 | How far will the pursuit of technic go, and what will be the effect upon the mechanical future of the instrument? |
39754 | How he treated the clarinet solo in the trio of the menuetto, and the winding of the rondo? |
39754 | How many to- day know the name of Anton Rubinstein''s master? |
39754 | How shall I describe what Liszt made of these genial movements on a first acquaintance? |
39754 | How shall I say it? |
39754 | I wonder what the mothers of these young Lisztians thought of their sons''tact and delicacy? |
39754 | I''ll be no longer a play actor; henceforth I''ll be a tragic poet''?" |
39754 | Is any man ever a hero to his biographer? |
39754 | Is he really a mere spiritless machine? |
39754 | Is it not a remarkable effort for an old gentleman of seventy- two? |
39754 | Is it not related that Pio Nono bestowed upon the great pianist the honour of hearing his confession at the time he became an abbé? |
39754 | Is not the shape exact?'' |
39754 | Is the latter not exquisitely idyllic? |
39754 | Is the music, in itself, good or bad? |
39754 | Is there a composer who paints the infernal, the macabre, with more suggestive realism than Liszt? |
39754 | Is this the art of a hypnotiser? |
39754 | It was merely a friendly recognition tempered by humility, as if he meant to ask:--"Why do you need my blessing, friend?" |
39754 | LISZT''S CONVERSION"Have you read the story of Liszt''s conversion as told by Emile Bergerat in Le Livre de Caliban?" |
39754 | Liszt wrote to Wagner, June 2, 1855:"Then you are reading Dante? |
39754 | Now, would not one do it better_ pp._ and staccato? |
39754 | Of what use indeed would such information be to you? |
39754 | Of whom? |
39754 | Otherwise how explain that yawning chasm between Lohengrin and Tristan? |
39754 | Rubinstein, who happened to be there, said to her:''You are not going to be so crazy as to play this concerto? |
39754 | Shall I often meet him? |
39754 | Stumble and trip like a vulgar pianist, or pretend to be stopped by a defective memory? |
39754 | Suddenly turning to the young Bizet, whose fine memory and ability he well knew, he said:"''Did you notice that passage?'' |
39754 | The fact is that out of the known 1,300 compositions, only 400 are original and of these latter how many are worth remembering? |
39754 | There is inspiration in it, but it does not reach(?!). |
39754 | This is C. A. Barry''s answer to the question, Why was Liszt obliged to invent the term symphonic poem? |
39754 | This now commonly accepted term had never previously been used, and people asked,"What does he mean? |
39754 | To him the Psalmist''s words,''How long shall they that hate me, be exalted against me?'' |
39754 | Was I wrong to say my_ Anch''io_ in this land of improvisation?'' |
39754 | Was the Church after all a disappointment to him? |
39754 | Wear evening dress? |
39754 | Were the piano to be abolished how could you have the exquisite joy of hearing Faure in your own chamber? |
39754 | What could he do in such a perplexing cause? |
39754 | What is it that brings into our dwellings an echo of the Conservatory concerts? |
39754 | What is it that gives us the opera at our own firesides? |
39754 | What is that? |
39754 | What was the matter? |
39754 | What wonder? |
39754 | Whenever did they present an Englishman with a_ silver breakfast service_ for gratuitous performances?'' |
39754 | Where am I? |
39754 | Wherefore two servants before the cell of a monk; or if attendant spirits, why were they not, according to monastic rules, simply lay brothers? |
39754 | Who remembers the Warsaw of 1831 except Chopin lovers? |
39754 | Who was the lady in the case? |
39754 | Who, before Franz Liszt, would have dreamed of employing cymbal- effects in legitimate piano playing? |
39754 | Why did not Scheffer paint him thus, instead of representing him as one of the three Magi? |
39754 | Why, then, the inevitable wail from the Lisztians that the Liszt music is not heard? |
39754 | Would n''t his Holiness dissolve the original chains so that she could marry the man of her election? |
39754 | and why this half failure? |
39754 | and, rising with that peculiar aristocratic grace, he says in a mild, condescending tone:''For my playing-- am I to sign this document? |
39093 | And is it possible,said he,"that you, too, could think me such a bear as not to receive your brother with kindness?" |
39093 | Heart, my heart, what change comes o''er thee? 39093 Is it not beautiful?" |
39093 | Muss es sein? |
39093 | Must it be? |
39093 | Quousque tandem? |
39093 | What is Rossini? |
39093 | Where am I not injured and wounded? 39093 Why such a variety of dishes?" |
39093 | ''[ 140]--''The Concertos?'' |
39093 | (_ Wer ist ein freier Mann?_) Beethoven wished to have words for the theme of those Variations with which the grand Sonata, Op. |
39093 | --''None in the summer season?'' |
39093 | --''The Solos?'' |
39093 | --''The Symphonies?'' |
39093 | --Is it not usual for persons in the most respectable conditions of life to purchase rare vegetables or fruit for the table? |
39093 | After a good deal of discussion with one and another, it was at last decided that the works should be brought before the public-- but where? |
39093 | Am I again to experience this hateful ingratitude? |
39093 | And how did Beethoven behave amidst the innumerable contradictions and contrasts that already everywhere pursued him? |
39093 | And what remained for me to do in this, but to give up my teaching and my whole business, in order to devote all my time to him? |
39093 | And why, besides, desire to secure a monopoly of the productions of mind? |
39093 | And you have written of me to Göthe, have you not? |
39093 | Are you satisfied now? |
39093 | Are you satisfied? |
39093 | Are you satisfied? |
39093 | Are, then, these divine compositions to be converted into show pieces for the performance of professional piano- forte players? |
39093 | As most of his letters addressed to me whilst in England speak of pecuniary distress, why should he not have sent me manuscripts, if possessed of any? |
39093 | At my years, I need some uniformity, some equality, in my way of life; can this be in our mutual situation? |
39093 | But is not some blame to be attributed to Beethoven himself? |
39093 | But was all the experience in the world of any benefit to him? |
39093 | But what would the practice of these exercises now avail? |
39093 | But, with Beethoven''s extraordinary susceptibility on the point of love, may he not actually have fared the same as others? |
39093 | Can our love subsist otherwise than by sacrifices, by not wishing for everything? |
39093 | Canst thou help it that thou art not wholly mine, that I am not wholly thine? |
39093 | Does not Mignon''s song breathe all her feelings through its melody, and must not these very feelings be reproductive in their turn? |
39093 | Does not, for example, the middle movement in C major plainly point to the rising of a star of hope? |
39093 | Does the devil then ride you all together, gentlemen, to propose to me to make such a Sonata? |
39093 | Further on, does not this same middle movement indicate the firm resolution of the hero to overcome his fate? |
39093 | Have I not been wrecked once before in this year through Neate? |
39093 | Have I not fulfilled mine towards my poor parents, and rejoiced when I was able to assist them? |
39093 | He consulted me only on the artistical part of the all- important question-- was he to grow rich, or remain poor? |
39093 | He had quarrelled with Stephen von Breuning( as with what friend did he not quarrel? |
39093 | He says:"What can I answer to your warmfelt excuses? |
39093 | He was most enthusiastic about your proposal of meeting him at Karlsbad, struck his forehead, and said,"Might I not have done this before? |
39093 | How can I send you my portrait? |
39093 | How could any rational person who is acquainted with Beethoven solely from his works, maintain the contrary? |
39093 | How many pounds of butchers''meat are allowed for three persons?" |
39093 | How often should one give them meat?--Ought they to have it both at dinner and supper? |
39093 | How strong is your band? |
39093 | How, then, did all this affect Beethoven? |
39093 | I did the same thing with an early song of Beethoven''s--"Who is a free man?" |
39093 | I feel it, my youth is but beginning-- have I not hitherto been a sickly creature? |
39093 | I have not yet decided for or against this change, but who has not felt the storm which is raging around us? |
39093 | If Cato, speaking of Cæsar, exclaimed''This man and we''--what shall we say of such a one as this? |
39093 | In fact, is not the explanation of every individual phrase perfectly natural? |
39093 | In how far could that ameliorate my condition? |
39093 | In whom has the like ever been seen? |
39093 | Is it to be supposed that he put the finishing hand to these also for the benefit of that undertaking? |
39093 | Is the agreement become burdensome to you? |
39093 | Is the reader curious to learn how Beethoven behaved towards such visitors? |
39093 | Is the room large-- does the music tell in it? |
39093 | It is said that, when he was asked,--"What is become of such a ring, or such a watch?" |
39093 | It may be asked what object Maelzel could have to carry his dishonesty to such a length? |
39093 | It may be asked, where was then his powerful patron and friend, Prince Lichnowsky, who would probably have cut the knot? |
39093 | Melody gives a sensible existence to poetry; for does not the meaning of a poem become embodied in melody? |
39093 | Might I not be your agent here for many things? |
39093 | Need we say with what deep regret your late retired mode of life has filled us? |
39093 | Or is it to be presumed that he was timid and alarmed in the year 1809 alone? |
39093 | Or, let me ask, is it right to drag before the tribunal of the public what has been said and done in unguarded moments among friends and acquaintance? |
39093 | The dedication was made by letter only; but are not such letters of greater value? |
39093 | The plan succeeded to admiration, but what was the consequence? |
39093 | They tell me wonders of galvanism; what is your opinion of it? |
39093 | Unless the prices are raised, what will remain for me after so many expenses, since the copying alone has cost so much?" |
39093 | Was there no fault in the execution? |
39093 | Was there no party- spirit? |
39093 | What a frivolous waste of time,& c.!--Why this profound sorrow, when necessity commands? |
39093 | What can I say to you of myself? |
39093 | What can such bravura players make of the melodies of Beethoven, so simple yet so profoundly imbued with sentiment? |
39093 | What do you think of Schmidt? |
39093 | What is a proper allowance for two servants for dinner and supper, both as to quality and quantity?" |
39093 | What is now- a- days thought of a simple_ Allegro_, as written by Mozart or Beethoven? |
39093 | What is to be done at last about this much- talked- of Concert? |
39093 | What is to be the end of it, and what will become of me if it lasts much longer? |
39093 | What then could be alleged in excuse of Beethoven, if Ries were right? |
39093 | What will the professors of the Paris Conservatoire, and M. Habeneck, the leader, say to this? |
39093 | What wrings thee thus with pain? |
39093 | When I had thus proved myself to be right, he said,"Well, and who forbids them?" |
39093 | When could such a mind be reproduced?--when equalled? |
39093 | When the composer entered, the prince said to him in an indifferent tone--"But, my dear Beethoven, what have you been about here again?" |
39093 | Whence was the necessary firmness to come in the conflicts with external life? |
39093 | Where now is feeling-- where expression, and, indeed, where opportunity for the manifestation of any sensibility? |
39093 | Who would not find his feelings revolted by this disgraceful fact? |
39093 | Who would not rejoice to see the wanderer return again to the right path? |
39093 | Why did not Ries insert Beethoven''s letter in that publication? |
39093 | Why not have sent it with the manuscript of the music? |
39093 | Why should no other publisher be allowed to adorn his shop with a work of Beethoven''s, when the house in question already had so many of them? |
39093 | Will you, my dearest Ries, inform Mr. Birchall of this without delay? |
39093 | You love me a little, eh? |
39093 | You will write as soon as possible, will you? |
39093 | [ 11] How happens it that Beethoven, sensible of the impropriety of this system of education, should not have avoided it in bringing up his nephew? |
39093 | [ 127] Who does not with deep regret feel that such gross neglect amounts almost to profanation of the works of the great master? |

39093 | who comprehends the meaning of this word? |
39093 | with whom may I speak of this great divinity? |
38654 | A dream? |
38654 | And how came you here? |
38654 | And if I prove victorious, will you be my bride? |
38654 | And you''ll never tell any one that you composed it? |
38654 | Are you not a Master Singer, Sir Walter? |
38654 | Can no one stop him? |
38654 | Do n''t you know that the singer may have seven mistakes, seven,--and no more? |
38654 | Do n''t you want her to hear you? 38654 Do you want to break down the door?" |
38654 | Eh, what? |
38654 | Elsa,he said,"do you choose me as your defender?" |
38654 | Have you courage? |
38654 | Have you never heard? 38654 How goes the world with you? |
38654 | Is it you? |
38654 | Oh, Elsa, dear one,he cried,"why did you strive to learn my secret? |
38654 | Oh, what shall we do? |
38654 | Oh,cried Haensel,"did you ever see anything so wonderful?" |
38654 | Still working? |
38654 | What do I want? |
38654 | What does this mean? |
38654 | What does this mean? |
38654 | What makes you stand so still and stare? |
38654 | Whence come you? |
38654 | Where am I? |
38654 | Where are you, good- for- naught? |
38654 | Where do you come from? |
38654 | Where in all the world is there such a maiden? |
38654 | Which witch? |
38654 | Who are you, maiden? |
38654 | Why do you cry, little girl? |
38654 | Why do you stay? |
38654 | Will he ride upon a snow- white charger? |
38654 | Would you know love? |
38654 | You will not work in this light, Master? |
38654 | --"Where''s his hair?" |
38654 | A trial song, and a love song at that? |
38654 | Ah, where could_ he_ look for pardon for_ his_ sins? |
38654 | Am I ugly, too?" |
38654 | And the faint music that drew him on and on? |
38654 | And what is his power? |
38654 | And would he not take his place among the minstrels as of old in a Tournament of Song on that very day? |
38654 | As for the husband you are to marry,--"and she looked at the frightened Elsa,--"who is he? |
38654 | Beautiful? |
38654 | Betrothed? |
38654 | But how? |
38654 | But tell me first, what of Sir Walter?" |
38654 | But what cared the bold Minstrel Knight for strange goddesses or their powers? |
38654 | But what did Eva Pogner or Sir Walter von Stolzing care for that? |
38654 | But where''s my prayer book? |
38654 | But who shall say he was reading as he turned the time- worn leaves over and over? |
38654 | Could he have been dreaming? |
38654 | Could he pray to the God whom he had forgotten? |
38654 | Could it be that he was not afraid of her? |
38654 | Could no one help? |
38654 | Did Eva look upon him with favor? |
38654 | Did I say all? |
38654 | Did she know the heavy charge that had been brought against her? |
38654 | Do n''t you know that the Witch walks there?" |
38654 | Do n''t you know that there is enchantment in those woods? |
38654 | Do n''t you know that?" |
38654 | Do you know the old verse,"It is always darkest just before dawn"? |
38654 | Do you want me to join you? |
38654 | Do you wonder that all the girls, even Marie, started up in alarm when they heard that strange prayer? |
38654 | Do you wonder, then, that Elsa walked through the forest on that morning long ago, with downcast eyes, oblivious to all save her own sad thoughts? |
38654 | Do you wonder, with such a story abroad, that the Horselburg was shunned by old and young? |
38654 | Does n''t that make your mouth water? |
38654 | Finally she found her voice, and in a whisper just loud enough for him to hear, ventured timidly:"Are you a man?" |
38654 | From whence has he come? |
38654 | Gold? |
38654 | Had Daland a daughter? |
38654 | Had Magdalena seen her scarfpin? |
38654 | Had not the knight to whom she had given her heart returned from his wanderings in foreign lands? |
38654 | Had she forgotten all her promises? |
38654 | Have you any work for me?" |
38654 | Have you no greeting for me?" |
38654 | He had promised Eva that he would become a poet, a singer, for her sake, and he wished to do so, but where and how was he to begin? |
38654 | He took a long breath, leaned forward, and whispered eagerly:"May I hope? |
38654 | Hey, fellows, what do you want?" |
38654 | His prayer was lifted up in silence and borne, who shall say where-- to what High and Holy presence? |
38654 | How could he become a Master Singer in one day? |
38654 | Impatient was he, also, for had he not expected to spend that very night by his own fireside with his daughter Senta? |
38654 | It was such a little thing, and was he not her shield, her angel, her preserver? |
38654 | Meanwhile the Witch was croaking in her awful voice:"Who comes here to my hut in the woods? |
38654 | Might he hope? |
38654 | Must her father''s rash command be obeyed? |
38654 | Must she, his wife, always remain in ignorance? |
38654 | Now will you give me bread?" |
38654 | Oh, what''s to be done?" |
38654 | Or are you promised to some one else?" |
38654 | Quick as lightning came a squeaking voice from the inside:"Nibble, nibble, mousekin, Who''s nibbling at my housekin?" |
38654 | Senta was quite willing, for had she not loved this stranger for a long, long time? |
38654 | She spoke thus:"Who is this Swan Knight who has vanquished the once powerful Frederick? |
38654 | She went on:"Do you see that jug over there on the table? |
38654 | She, the proud Princess, most cruelly wronged, would she shield one who had fallen so low? |
38654 | Suddenly the father, missing the children, inquired:"Where are Haensel and Gretel?" |
38654 | Tannhäuser exclaimed in a tone of awe,--Elizabeth, the beautiful Princess, whose name he had forgotten-- what of her? |
38654 | The crooked back, the burning eyes peering out from under the tangled hair, the rags, the ugliness,--oh, must she always stay? |
38654 | Then he said aloud:"Do n''t you know that the marker is the man who sits in the curtained box and marks the mistakes?" |
38654 | Then in a wee, small voice, he said:"Good wife, wo n''t you buy a broom?" |
38654 | This gentle strain that spoke of endless devotion and sacrifice; was that love? |
38654 | To whom should she turn for guidance? |
38654 | Was it a puzzle? |
38654 | Was it madness that inspired the knight? |
38654 | Was it there on the floor? |
38654 | Was not Elsa afraid that he would just as magically disappear? |
38654 | Was she Elsa of Brabant? |
38654 | Was she not going to meet her Knight, him whom God had sent to defend her? |
38654 | Was she still in the beautiful greenwood? |
38654 | Was she willing that he, King Henry, should judge her? |
38654 | Was there ever a more beautiful Princess? |
38654 | Was there pardon for such as he? |
38654 | Was this some marvelous dream? |
38654 | Was this the meek Ortrud who had come to her begging forgiveness, pleading repentance? |
38654 | Were people the only ugly things? |
38654 | What did Master Beckmesser want? |
38654 | What did it mean? |
38654 | What did you come for, then, pray tell me?" |
38654 | What further proof do you need? |
38654 | What is his rank? |
38654 | What magic was this? |
38654 | What mattered it which way he wandered-- now, since he was an outcast and accursed forever? |
38654 | What strange happening was this? |
38654 | What strange sight was there? |
38654 | What though the south wind had driven them a few miles out of their course? |
38654 | What was it that glittered, glistened from afar? |
38654 | What was the rosy haze that enveloped him? |
38654 | What was there left to be cooked for supper? |
38654 | What was this? |
38654 | What was to be done? |
38654 | Where could he look for pardon now? |
38654 | Where is your work, you good- for- nothing children?" |
38654 | Whither could he turn to get his loved one food? |
38654 | Who can tell?" |
38654 | Who could that be? |
38654 | Who was that pale visitor, so strangely like the picture above his head, entering behind him? |
38654 | Who was this ragged fellow who dared to interrupt the thrilling story? |
38654 | Who were they to judge him and deny him the opportunity to repent? |
38654 | With a loud cry he stretched forth his arms and called,--"Venus, goddess, do you hear my call?" |
38654 | Would he forsake a love like that? |
38654 | Would he give her to him for a wife? |
38654 | Would he never be able to make love in peace? |
38654 | Would her life never, never change? |
38654 | Would not the Witch show her how? |
38654 | Would she not trust him utterly? |
38654 | Would the fetters that bound the Swan Knight''s lips ne''er be loosened? |
38654 | Would they rob his soul of its eternal peace? |
38654 | and she flounced off, murmuring:"What''s to be done? |
38654 | answered the Knight, sadly,"what have you done?" |
38654 | are n''t you ashamed, you greedy boy? |
38654 | asked Daland,"and whither are you going?" |
38654 | but what does she gobble?" |
38654 | does she not speak of a secret lover? |
38654 | she cried"Who are you?" |
38654 | she exclaimed,"all the noise and clatter? |
40383 | 93. Who composes the music? 40383 _ A propos!_"remarked the dwarf, just as they shook hands at parting,"What kind of music do you have to- morrow?" |
40383 | ''Who has forbidden them?'' |
40383 | ''_ Maria._--What a caterwauling do you keep here? |
40383 | ( Have you not seen the blue storks?) |
40383 | ( Hush- a- bye baby, what rustles the straw? |

40383 | Some boys who happened to hear him, called out to him:"What good is it for you to be thus singing and playing? |
40383 | Startled by the sound, the three maidens ceased dancing, and one of them asked hurriedly:"Where are my gloves?" |
40383 | The Musicians answer,_ I pray you good Sir, why say you so?_ Man,_ Because Jean Sanderson will not come too_. |
40383 | The clergyman knew at once that this must be a Neck; he, therefore, in his zeal, called out to him:--"How canst thou play so cheerfully on thy harp? |
40383 | The dejected giant, hearing himself thus questioned, ejaculated whiningly:"Come back again? |

38023 | ''Well, Mr. Fields,''she said, with great impressiveness,''what have you new in literature to- day? 38023 About the American''twang''? |
38023 | Did n''t I tell you so? |
38023 | Did you see the advertisement? |
38023 | Do n''t you know why everything on the stage has been going so badly to- night? |
38023 | Do you remember,he said, laughing,"how embarrassed I was when you kissed me? |
38023 | For heaven''s sake, Behrens,said I,"what''s the public going to do while we stand there? |
38023 | Heavens, Louise,they exclaimed,"what do you do in this opera anyway? |
38023 | How can I tell? |
38023 | How did you do it? |
38023 | How did you manage to reach the Czar? |
38023 | How do you know that? |
38023 | I have never heard her-- do I know that she can sing? 38023 I''ve come,"said she in a soft, small voice,"to ask you if you would please kiss me?" |
38023 | Indeed? 38023 My dear,"she exclaimed,"tell me what are''buttered nuts''?" |
38023 | My pin is upside- down, is n''t it? |
38023 | Oh, Miss,she cried in a tone of awe and curtseying to his name,"you do n''t mean''i m that wrote_ Tell me not in mournful numbers_? |
38023 | Sing where? |
38023 | Sing? |
38023 | Then I do n''t sing wrong? |
38023 | Was all that gossip about disputes and jealousies between Kellogg and Gary last season a managerial dodge for notoriety? |
38023 | Well,remarked that gentleman casually, winking at Jarrett,"can she sing?" |
38023 | What are you going to do about it? |
38023 | What are you going to wear? |
38023 | What do you expect me to do? |
38023 | What do you expect,I demanded, in my old- fashioned yet childish way, being at the time eighteen,"what do you expect of a person of my age?" |
38023 | What do you mean,he demanded,"by taking liberties with the music like that?" |
38023 | What do you think it is worth? |
38023 | What do you think of Americans as an opera- going people? |
38023 | What do you wear it that way for? |
38023 | What have we done? |
38023 | What is all this talk I hear about a lot of rich men coming to the front in New York to support Mapleson''s operatic ventures with their money? |
38023 | What is your song? |
38023 | Where are you bound for? |
38023 | Who is she,they would demand indignantly,"to come and take the bread out of our mouths?" |
38023 | Why did n''t you say so in the first place? |
38023 | Why did n''t you say so? |
38023 | Why on earth,cried the publisher,"do n''t you get a new hat?" |
38023 | Will you bet? |
38023 | You sang that for me in Washington, did n''t you, Miss Kellogg? |
38023 | You would n''t expect me to sing? |
38023 | You-- don''t think that she will be offended if I send her this message-- now-- do you? |
38023 | _ Nichts?_he repeats. |
38023 | _ That?_ I would n''t sing like that for anything! 38023 _ Was hast du gesehen?_"says he. |
38023 | A tenor? |
38023 | After another lovely thing which he played for us, I was so impressed by the rare tone of his instrument that I asked:"Is that a Böhm flute?" |
38023 | Although one woman did write,"who ever saw more simplicity on the stage?" |
38023 | And how, often and often, it is then that victory comes? |
38023 | And then he asked,"How would you like to sing?" |
38023 | And, my dear Miss Kellogg, who_ was_ Tennyson?" |
38023 | Are you not crying for the moon in union with your Emersons and Longfellows-- with your La Farges and your Gilders? |
38023 | Are you not yourself the_ Spirit Nightingale of the West_? |
38023 | Besides, what rivalry could there possibly be between a soprano and a contralto? |
38023 | But did she ever give a double a chance to lead her battle charge? |

38023 | Clara Louise Kellogg, eh? |
38023 | Colonel Stebbins, who was anxious, said to Maretzek:"Do n''t you think she had better have a German coach in the part?" |
38023 | Could anything be more delicious than the taste of black birch? |
38023 | Could anything be more entertaining than this naïve fashion of making a date in Heaven? |
38023 | Did they grasp the moon in the waters and at last disturb the image? |
38023 | Did you hear that''la''in the second act? |
38023 | Do I make myself understood, I wonder? |
38023 | Do n''t you know how, after striving and straining for something, you at last relax and let some inner part of your brain carry on the battle? |
38023 | Do n''t you notice the difference? |
38023 | Do they speak English in America?" |
38023 | Do you find your artists difficult to manage? |
38023 | Do you think I''d better do my bicycle act next?" |
38023 | Everyone in the front of the house is asking''where''s the_ prima donna_?''" |
38023 | GOOD- BYE TO RUSSIA-- AND THEN? |
38023 | Has she the means for experimenting, or does she have to earn her living in some way meanwhile? |
38023 | Have I mentioned her name? |
38023 | He idly struck a note and asked my mother:"What note is that I am striking? |
38023 | He would come panting into the house, his round face beaming, and gasp:"Any new American jokes? |
38023 | He? |
38023 | How am I going to do it?_"I sang around in circles until I was able to give the Contessa the correct note. |
38023 | How could it have been otherwise, considering the care she has always taken of herself? |
38023 | How do you do it?" |
38023 | How does he breathe? |
38023 | How many people know that Miss Cushman had studied singing and had a very fine_ baritone_ contralto voice? |
38023 | I carry away America in your voice; and what better token can your nation offer? |
38023 | I cried from the next room,"do n''t you know what note that is?" |
38023 | I explained volubly and eagerly,"she was of the well- to- do class-- the burghers-- don''t you remember? |
38023 | I gasped,"what is she doing? |
38023 | I gazed with horror at the brown liquid in my tumbler, and then said faintly to the waiter:"Ca n''t you get me some clear water, please?" |
38023 | I imagine it is because you do n''t mind putting yourselves under obligations, is n''t it?" |
38023 | I remember Jenny Lind sang:"Birdling, why sing''st thou in the forest wild? |
38023 | I sometimes wonder if other singers do the same with obdurate auditors? |
38023 | I suppose you''ve seen one before, Miss Kellogg?" |
38023 | I wonder how many people to- day know even the name of Fanny Elssler, the dancer who captivated the young King of Rome and lived with him for so long? |
38023 | I wonder if anybody besides singers get such an extraordinary sense of contact and connection with members of their audiences? |
38023 | I wonder if such mad, national excitement could come to people to- day? |
38023 | If Gary was n''t pleased with her treatment last year, why should she engage with us again? |
38023 | In Rostand''s play, they ask Chanticleer:"What is your life?" |
38023 | Is it because all civilisations are destined to have their days and nights of Brahma? |
38023 | Is n''t this a masterpiece? |
38023 | Is this believable? |
38023 | It became quite a joke with them to cry out suddenly, at any sort of sound-- a whistle, or a bell:"Now, what note is that? |
38023 | Lucca came to me laughing and said that some one had asked her:"How do you dare to sing on the same bill with Miss Kellogg, the American favourite?" |
38023 | Next day every one was rushing about demanding,"Who was her teacher? |
38023 | Nilsson, even, was too-- shall I say,_ knowing_? |
38023 | Now how does he do it?" |
38023 | Now, suppose you go on and find that you can''t-- what will you do then? |
38023 | Odd? |
38023 | Or am I mistaken? |
38023 | Or was the principle that organised the European nations itself a false one? |
38023 | Past the back of Taurus, away among the Pleiades, whither dost thou go? |
38023 | Shall my soul return, or-- never?) |
38023 | She has often brought me a book of poetry, pointed out the best thing in it, and said in her soft way:"Do n''t you think this is nice? |
38023 | So I said to my young Connecticut friend:"My dear, you are trying to support yourself and your mother, are n''t you? |
38023 | The thing that one has chosen for one''s life work in the world:--what labour could be too great for it, or what too minute? |
38023 | To each I brought a clearer vision, a surer touch, a more flexible method, a finer( how shall I say it in English?) |
38023 | What are you fitted for? |
38023 | What can you turn your hand to? |
38023 | What do you think this jewelry is really worth?" |
38023 | What have you acquired? |
38023 | What is the use of diadems and coronets if the owner does not wear them? |
38023 | What key was that in, Miss Kellogg?" |
38023 | When the girl had finished, I said:"My dear, have you read those words?" |
38023 | When? |
38023 | Where is the future of music to be? |
38023 | Who gave her this wonderful style and tone?" |
38023 | Who is this Miss Kellogg anyway?" |
38023 | Who was it said"the world goes round with revolutions"? |
38023 | Who wrote them?" |
38023 | Why did n''t these rich men that want opera in New York give me any money? |
38023 | Why this everlasting, tedious march,_ when there are so many excellent band pieces on the market that would fit the occasion better_?" |
38023 | Why? |
38023 | Why? |
38023 | Why_ did_ we choose that day of all others on which to begin a journey? |
38023 | Will you allow me to do so? |
38023 | Will you also condescend to write to me at your leisure? |
38023 | Will you not favour me by writing again? |
38023 | [ Illustration:= Carl Strakosch= From a photograph by H. W. Barnett] The last time I saw Patti I said to her:"Adelina, have you got through singing?" |
38023 | and the Israelite climbed down exclaiming in crestfallen accents:"How did you know it?" |
38023 | and then--"I wonder--_could_ it also be the crazy woman who wanted me to kiss her?" |
38023 | exclaimed the landlord, in a new tone,"you will pay_ extra_ for the dinner, if we are willing to serve it for you now?" |
38023 | he cried,"did you ever see anything so splendid? |
38023 | where''s your music?" |
54426 | How now, ye secret black and midnight hags; what is''t ye do? |
54426 | If Tristan is under any obligation to you, how can he discharge it better than by making you Mark''s queen? 54426 Unloved by the lordliest man, yet always near him, how could I bear that anguish?" |
54426 | Will the gold make pretty ornaments for women? |
54426 | A backward gaze on earth they fix, And ask,"Where doth dear Music go? |
54426 | A harmony? |
54426 | AUX ITALIENS I.--ITALIAN OPERA OF TO- DAY What do ye singing? |
54426 | And Loge? |
54426 | And then we wonder if the musically unprogressive will still be clinging to their jingling classic,"Lucia di Lammermoor"? |
54426 | Are not those, with the matchless comedy of manners,"Die Meistersinger,"enough for one mind to have created? |
54426 | Are these things beautiful? |
54426 | Are they sincere, or does Wagner shadow forth just a suspicion of the dishonesty which lurks in the utterance? |
54426 | Are we afraid of it? |
54426 | Brünnhilde complains:"Why are you angry at me, father?" |
54426 | But does it tell all? |
54426 | But if he failed( and who can doubt that he did after studying the bloodless philosophy of the last product of his genius? |
54426 | But what can we ask? |
54426 | But what do we find in"Parsifal"? |
54426 | But who ever expected to find a consistent logic in the mind of fair woman, even a resident of high Olympus? |
54426 | But who thinks of all this while the performance is in progress? |
54426 | But why go farther with this catalogue? |
54426 | Call ye this a hero of all the world? |
54426 | Can any one show that it has a direct connection with the development of the story? |
54426 | Did Joseph of Arimathea catch the precious drops in it; and was it really the vessel used at the Last Supper of Jesus and his apostles? |
54426 | Did Wagner realize the fathomless depths of his own sarcasm here? |
54426 | Did he see the ridiculous aspect of it? |
54426 | Did the blood of Christ ever sanctify it? |
54426 | Did you ever chance to hear his"Chansons de Miarka,"settings of texts of Jean Richepin''s"Miarka, the Bear''s Foundling"? |
54426 | Do they need a model? |
54426 | Even if he himself did the wooing for his uncle, why should you object? |
54426 | From this Wagner could not escape, even in his"Parsifal,"for Kundry, in the final scene, dies of what? |
54426 | Having turned upon the hand that sought to benefit her, what does she? |
54426 | How came Wagner not to remember the law of operatic tradition? |
54426 | How came Wagner to fail in his puerile attempt to make a drama out of a supposed incident in the life of Christ? |
54426 | How can the dotard Wotan sit by the hearthstone playing at riddles with Mime and not feel the breath of Loge on his neck? |
54426 | How did Siegfried learn his own musical theme? |
54426 | How long did it take the musician to discover that the Virgin was not such inspiring musical material as Mary Magdalen? |
54426 | How long was it before the musicians ceased to content themselves with their tone pictures of ocean waves and murmuring streams? |
54426 | How many of our ultra- refined orchestral studies in logic will stand examination in the searching light of that proclamation? |
54426 | How many viewless ages yet shall run before the process be complete? |
54426 | How much introspection is there in Wotan''s interesting interview with the unseen Fafner? |
54426 | How much more necessary is it to read Maeterlinck''s"Death of Tintagiles"in order to understand Charles Martin Loeffler? |
54426 | How much more of German mystic philosophy, of mediævalism, of the teachings of Siddartha, and lastly of pure paganism? |
54426 | How much of all this did Wagner perceive when he was constructing his extraordinary drama in four plays? |
54426 | How often shall we who are treading the downward slopes of life croon that old couplet and yearn for the cradle songs of Schubert and Beethoven? |
54426 | Howsoever these things be, the ultimate question remains: Will the compositions of Mr. Strauss and his kind stand the test of Ambros? |
54426 | II.--THE CLASSIC OF THE UNPROGRESSIVE But how may he find Arcady Who hath nor youth nor melody? |
54426 | III.--WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? |
54426 | If the lovers of"Lucia"are unprogressive, is, then, a great singer who still sings this part their leader? |
54426 | If we may go so far, how are we to be estopped from prying further into the mysteries of musical depiction? |
54426 | Is Kundry to be explained? |
54426 | Is Parsifal to be analyzed? |
54426 | Is Strauss not a maker, but a product? |
54426 | Is he not only a musical Rabelais, but also that malodorous jest of a Rabelaisian brain, Gargantua himself? |
54426 | Is it art? |
54426 | Is it not a purely Wagnerian touch? |
54426 | Is that a heroic act? |
54426 | Is the embodiment of craft absent? |
54426 | Is the embodiment of subtle psychologic problems in tone hostile to unaffected beauty? |
54426 | Is the green glass chalice which now reposes peacefully in Genoa a holy vessel? |
54426 | Is their æsthetic basis lofty and wholesome? |
54426 | Is their æsthetic centre of gravity within themselves? |
54426 | It is Loge''s triumph, is it not? |
54426 | It was a long way round, was it not? |
54426 | More bitter wars than that have been waged for the sake of acquiring wealth and power, and to what end? |
54426 | Must husbands have had outings in the elemental days even as now? |
54426 | Must the lyric drama follow the march of symphonic music into the screaming regions of the Strauss soul analysis? |
54426 | Now what happens? |
54426 | Now, what has Edward Elgar accomplished, and what does the character of his work indicate as the present tendency of oratorio? |
54426 | Oh, Siegfried and Fafner, Fafner and Siegfried, which of ye is the more comic? |
54426 | Or is it all a beautiful chance? |
54426 | Or is it all, this music of Strauss, a monstrous joke, and does the man laugh in his sleeve at the troubled world? |
54426 | Or is it simply that certain good people to whom the theatre is a place accursed must have their dramatic excitements in some other form? |
54426 | Or was the curse imposed solely that this theatrical picture might be introduced? |
54426 | Shall we say that therefore Beethoven''s psychometry was saner and more artistic than that of Strauss and his few brothers in art? |
54426 | She cries:"The drink, for whom? |
54426 | So he turns to Loge, who comes waving and caracoling upon the scene-- to what theme? |
54426 | The only question that remained to be solved after this was, How far would the musician go? |
54426 | The wound certainly existed; but who can vouch for the preservation of the spear as an object of reverence? |
54426 | These songs have atmosphere, and if it is painted in familiar and safe tints, who shall blame a man for assuring himself of correct methods? |
54426 | Tristan? |
54426 | WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? |
54426 | Was it strange that the primitive mind could not conceive a god who was himself the law? |
54426 | Was the epic man inconstant of soul? |
54426 | Was there any touch of Schopenhauer or Buddha in this? |
54426 | Was there ever a Holy Grail? |
54426 | We are driven inward upon the central and all- important question, How far can music go in the direction of depicting things which lie outside itself? |
54426 | What does all this mean? |
54426 | What does the man mean? |
54426 | What effect has the disappearance of the futile gods upon the dramatic development of the story? |
54426 | What evidence is there that Wagner perceived the full significance of the final triumph of Loge over the erring Wotan? |
54426 | What had the Greek? |
54426 | What has Strauss done in these works to"so get the start of the majestic world"? |
54426 | What has become of the enlightenment by pity? |
54426 | What has so got the start of the majestic art of music as to lead it to the grave? |
54426 | What is it? |
54426 | What is the real truth about this huge ragoût of mysticism and orchestration which in the looming shadows of the Festspielhaus is called"sacred"? |
54426 | What is the result? |
54426 | What is this work, after all, but a summary of the blind gropings of the imaginative Wagner after a philosophy beyond his reach? |
54426 | What is this ye sing? |
54426 | What kind of impression did this drama make upon the unprejudiced and equipoised mind? |
54426 | What majestic development of the Erda theme is this we hear in the Dusk of the Gods motive? |
54426 | What more can one say to recommend it to the general reader? |
54426 | What music has Wagner evolved to body forth the traits and accessories of this godless deity? |
54426 | What was a god to do who was short of power? |
54426 | What was really in Wagner''s mind when he wrote that extraordinarily beautiful passage of song for Loge in the first scene of"Das Rheingold"? |
54426 | What was to be done? |
54426 | What will he do with her? |
54426 | What, then, becomes of this manifestation of Wagnerian philosophy, this joyous tempter of wooden gods? |
54426 | When she has tacitly consented to the theft of the gold, what does she? |
54426 | Where are Brangäne''s heroics in the drama? |
54426 | Where is Italian opera? |
54426 | Which is the truer tale, the more convincing art? |
54426 | Whither is it going? |
54426 | Who are we, to make final conclusions and splutter our puny"Quod erat demonstrandum"? |
54426 | Who was it said recently that the good Mr. Loeffler of Boston thought music in a scale of his own? |
54426 | Who writes now an"overture, scherzo, and finale"? |
54426 | Whoever before heard the lascivious harmony of the third made to chant a psalm of mischief? |
54426 | Why all this pother about the sacrilege of putting the Holy Grail on the stage? |
54426 | Why enact"Parsifal"and not this? |
54426 | Why should it? |
54426 | Why should we believe it incumbent upon us to uphold all that Wagner did? |
54426 | With what heroine is she to be compared? |
54426 | Would not a heroic nature have grasped the significance of the moment, and, foreseeing the approaching shame, have acquiesced in Isolde''s decision? |
54426 | Yet how far beyond Liszt has the psychologic composition of to- day advanced? |
54426 | Yet shall not Idea, subtle, crafty, remorseless, triumph at last? |
43289 | Children, children,it says,"Are you not afraid?" |
43289 | (_ Besieht ihren mit Milch begossenen Rock; Hänsel kichert verstohlen._) Was, Bengel, du lachst mich noch aus? |
43289 | (_ Giebt Hänseln einen Puff._) Lasst seh''n, was habt ihr beschickt? |
43289 | (_ Goes back some steps to the back of the stage and calls through his hands._) Who''s there? |
43289 | (_ He takes his basket and begins to display he contents._) Look, mother, does n''t all this food please you? |
43289 | (_ Ruft durch die hohlen Hände._) Wer da? |
43289 | (_ Setzt ihre Kiepe nieder._) Nennt ihr das Arbeit? |
43289 | (_ The mother comes in, unstraps the basket, and puts it down._) Call you it working, yodelling and singing? |
43289 | (_ Turns to Hänsel._) See there, the sleepy lazybones? |
43289 | (_ Weinend._) Was soll ich nun zum Abend kochen? |
43289 | -- Weisst Du, was der Wald jetzt spricht? |
43289 | --Wie, Gretel, den Strumpf nicht fertig gestrickt? |
43289 | Allein was nutzt der Kommandör, fehlt euch i m Topf die Zubehör? |
43289 | Am Ilsenstein?--Ei, juckt Dich das Fell? |
43289 | And did you also behold all this? |
43289 | And the gingerbread children? |
43289 | And you, you lazybones, have you nothing to show? |
43289 | Arbeiten? |
43289 | Are n''t you ashamed? |
43289 | Are you senseless? |
43289 | At this moment the cuckoo is heard._) Cuckoo, cuckoo, how d''you do? |
43289 | Been in mischief? |
43289 | Bin gar so dumm, nimm mir''s nicht krumm; drum zeige mir eben, wie soll ich mich heben? |
43289 | Bist du bei Sinnen? |
43289 | But Hänsel says the angels beguiled their footsteps and why should n''t they nibble a bit at the cottage? |
43289 | But say, what will you with my brother do? |
43289 | But stay, why, where are the children? |
43289 | But the gobbling witch? |
43289 | But there, what''s grinning so there at me? |
43289 | But where, where think you the children can be? |
43289 | Crosspatch, crosspatch, what is the use, growling and grumbling, full of abuse? |
43289 | Cuckoo, cuckoo, where are you? |
43289 | Cuckoo, how are you? |
43289 | Cuckoo, where are you? |
43289 | Cuckoo, why do you do so? |
43289 | D''you hear? |
43289 | D''you like it? |
43289 | Da, sieh nur die artigen Kinderlein, wo mögen die hergekommen sein? |
43289 | Dear heart, what makes you say such things? |
43289 | Did you hear? |
43289 | Die Böse? |
43289 | Doch halt-- wo bleiben die Kinder? |
43289 | Doch sag, wo mögen die Kinderchen sein? |
43289 | Dort sucht mir Erdbeeren!--Nun, wird es bald? |
43289 | Dost thou not know the awful magic place, the place where the evil one dwells? |
43289 | Eh? |
43289 | Eh? |
43289 | Ei, wie fang ich''s an, dass ich komme dran? |
43289 | Eia- popeia, pray what''s to be done? |
43289 | Ein Geheimnis? |
43289 | Fandst du nicht auch, lieb''Weib? |
43289 | For the ogress? |
43289 | Gone with Hans? |
43289 | Gretel!--Wo steckt der Hans? |
43289 | Hast Du denn alles das auch gesehn? |
43289 | Hast Du''s gehört? |
43289 | Hoho!-- Wer spek-- spektakelt mir da i m Haus und rallalakelt aus dem Schlaf mich heraus? |
43289 | How come I in the wood to lie? |
43289 | Hänsel covertly titters._) How, saucy, how dare you laugh? |
43289 | Hänsel, Gretel, what''s gone with Hans? |
43289 | Hänsel, however can you make so bold? |
43289 | Hänsel, what have you done? |
43289 | Hörst du? |
43289 | I m Dunkeln wohl gar, unter Hecken und Buchen? |
43289 | I wonder who the mankin is? |
43289 | Ich mach''dir''ne Nase, hörst du''s, Wicht? |
43289 | In all den Stunden nicht mal die wenigen Besen gebunden? |
43289 | Indes die Eltern vom frühen Morgen bis spät in die Nacht sich mühen und sorgen? |
43289 | Is some one there? |
43289 | Ist es ein Traum? |
43289 | Ist jemand da? |
43289 | Johlen und singen? |
43289 | Junge, wie magst du so dreist nur sein? |
43289 | Kennst Du nicht den schauerlich düstern Ort? |
43289 | Know you what the forest says? |
43289 | Knusper, knusper Knäuschen, wer knuspert mir am Häuschen? |
43289 | Knusper, knusper Knäuschen, wer knuspert mir am Häuschen? |
43289 | Lass los!--Wer bist du? |
43289 | Man, man, what see I? |
43289 | Mann, was seh''ich? |
43289 | Nibble, nibble, mousekin, who''s nibbling at my housekin? |
43289 | Nibble, nibble, mousekin, who''s nibbling at my housekin? |
43289 | Not know the way? |
43289 | O Hänsel dear, O brother dear, d''you take me for a fool? |
43289 | O herrliches Schlösschen, so schmuck du und fein, welch Waldes- Prinzesschen mag drinnen wohl sein? |
43289 | O say, do I dream? |
43289 | O what shall we do? |
43289 | O what shall we do? |
43289 | O, did you hear? |
43289 | O, who''s to know? |
43289 | Oho!-- Who''s sing- sing- singing all around the house, and tra- la- la- ing me out of my sleep? |
43289 | Or do I dream? |
43289 | Pray how many besoms have you finished? |
43289 | Sag doch, was soll denn der Besen? |
43289 | Sagt, wer mag das Männlein sein, das da steht i m Wald allein mit dem kleinen schwarzen Käppelein? |
43289 | Sagt, wer mag das Männlein sein, das da steht i m Wald allein mit dem purpurroten Mäntelein? |
43289 | Say, who can the mankin be, standing there beneath the tree, with the little mantle of velvet brown? |
43289 | Say, who can the mankin be, standing there so silently, with the little black cap upon his head? |
43289 | Schämst du dich nicht? |
43289 | So haben die Rangen Unfug wieder angefangen? |
43289 | Suse, liebe Suse, was raschelt i m Stroh? |
43289 | Susy, little Susy, pray what is the news? |
43289 | Tanzen? |
43289 | Tell me, cuckoo, why are you? |
43289 | The angels? |
43289 | The besom, the besom, why what is it for? |
43289 | The cobbler has leather, and plenty to spare, why ca n''t he make the poor goose a new pair? |
43289 | Und die Lebkuchenkinder? |
43289 | Und dort, was grinset daher vom Sumpf? |
43289 | Von der Hexe? |
43289 | Wach ich? |
43289 | Waking? |
43289 | Was fangen wir an? |
43289 | Was für ein wunderlich Gesicht Macht er soeben-- siehst Du''s nicht? |
43289 | Was haben wir thörichten Kinder gethan? |
43289 | Was ist das für eine Geschichte? |
43289 | Was macht man damit? |
43289 | Was macht man damit? |
43289 | Was mag das für ein Männchen sein? |
43289 | Was sagst Du? |
43289 | Was schimmert denn dort in der Dunkelheit? |
43289 | Was willst du meinem Bruder thun? |
43289 | Was? |
43289 | Weisst nicht, dass die_ Böse_ dort wohnt? |
43289 | Welche Freude steht mir bevor? |
43289 | Wen meinst Du? |
43289 | Wer schenkt mir einen Dreier zu Zucker und Brot? |
43289 | Wer weiss, wer da drin wohl i m Häuschen fein? |
43289 | What is all this disturbance? |
43289 | What is the great treat in store for me? |
43289 | What mean''st thou? |
43289 | What now can I cook for supper? |
43289 | What were you saying, little goose? |
43289 | What''s glimmering there in the darkness? |
43289 | What, Hänsel, tasting? |
43289 | What, here in the dark, under hedges and bushes? |
43289 | Where am I? |
43289 | Where hides the princess who has so great a treat? |
43289 | Where? |
43289 | Who are you, ugly one? |
43289 | Who are you? |
43289 | Who knows who may live there, in that lovely house? |
43289 | Who''ll give me milk and sugar, for bread I have none? |
43289 | Why, Gretel, your stocking not ready yet? |
43289 | Wie auf der Kirmes tanzen und springen? |

43289 | it was a lovely day, do n''t you think so, dear wife? |
43289 | the jug is smashed to bits? |
43289 | what say you? |
43289 | who''s nibbling at my housekin? |
43289 | » Kindlein! « sagt er, » fürchtet ihr euch nicht? «(_ Späht unruhig umher._) Gretel! |

39078 | Weepin''Mary, weep no mo''--"Mary wept, Martha cried", why ca n''t they too? |
39078 | What makes ole satan follow me so? 39078 You are the Christ, I''m sure it''s true, For none do de miracles dat you do, But how can a man, now old in sin, Turn back still and be born again?" |
39078 | A group of negroes sing while working; one sings a new verse of the song:"Where you git dat?" |
39078 | All I wants to know is,"Does you love the Lord?" |
39078 | An''how you know dey''s angels? |
39078 | Another asks what ship is that"you''re enlisted upon"? |
39078 | Another chorus inquired:"O brothers where were you? |
39078 | Brother do n''t you hear the blind cries, blind cries? |
39078 | Brother do n''t you hear the blind cries, blind cries? |
39078 | Brother, ai n''t you glad?" |
39078 | Dem pooty angels I shall see-- Why doan de debbil let a me be? |
39078 | Did you say that you love the Lord? |
39078 | Did you see Jesus when he wore the starry crown? |
39078 | Do n''t you wish you could pray like Paul? |
39078 | Does he not sing well and truthfully? |
39078 | Every day, every day, Well ai n''t it a pity, ai n''t it a pity? |
39078 | For my Lord is a waitin'', Why do n''t you come to His call? |
39078 | For what has he to attract him at home where he unwillingly begins to think of work again? |
39078 | Go''way satan I doan min''you; You wonder, too, you ca n''t come through? |
39078 | God told Noah''bout de rainbow sign--_ Lawd, did n''t it rain?_ No more water but fier nex''time--_ O did n''t it rain? |
39078 | God told Noah''bout de rainbow sign--_ Lawd, did n''t it rain?_ No more water but fier nex''time--_ O did n''t it rain? |
39078 | Halleluyer, did n''t it rain? |
39078 | Halleluyer.__ O did n''t it rain, O did n''t it rain? |
39078 | Hark, the blind man stood by the wave and cried, He cried,"O Lord, do n''t you hear po''me?" |
39078 | He asks"How do you know? |
39078 | He cried,"O Lord, do n''t you hear po''me?" |
39078 | He look so pale an''bleed so free: O do n''t you think it was a shame, He hung three hours in dreadful pain? |
39078 | Hear my Jesus callin''? |
39078 | Hear my Jesus when he call you? |
39078 | Ho, ho, did n''t it rain? |
39078 | How does you know he wore the crown? |
39078 | How does you know he wore the crown? |
39078 | How does you know he wore the crown? |
39078 | I went down de hillside to make a one prayer, An''when I get dere ole satan wus dere, O what you think he said to me? |
39078 | In a general mixture of old song and new song, of old traits and new traits, the negro sings a beautiful song which he has called:"Whar''shall I be?" |
39078 | In one of the old songs, the above verses were sung to the chorus Oh, what you say, John? |
39078 | In the old slave song the sinner asks: My Lord, My Lord, what shall I do? |
39078 | In the same manner he sings,"Wo n''t you come an''see yo''Lord?" |
39078 | Is it surprising that he is unwilling to leave the church until a late hour or that he does not tire of singing? |
39078 | It, too, is called"Did n''t it rain?" |
39078 | Jesus is a listenin'', Jesus die._ Where was Ezekiel when the church fell down? |
39078 | John declar''d he saw a man, Whar''shall I be? |
39078 | Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, Whar''shall I be? |
39078 | May these not speak for him, both the good and the bad, in the following chapters? |
39078 | Must be children of the Israelites", which is the common version for the answer to"Who''s all them come dressed in white?" |
39078 | No more water but fire nex''time, Whar''shall I be? |
39078 | Now wo n''t you blow Gable at the judgment bar? |
39078 | Now wo n''t you blow Gable at the judgment? |
39078 | O Lord, ai nt it a pity-- ain''t it a shame-- To see how my Lord and Saviour was slain? |
39078 | O brother, do n''t you hear the blind cries? |
39078 | O my Lord, shall I be the one? |
39078 | O my Lord, shall I be the one? |
39078 | O sinner man, how can it be? |
39078 | O sinners, O Christians, O mourners, etc., where were you?" |
39078 | O sisters where were you? |
39078 | Oh was n''t that sad on Sunday mornin''? |
39078 | Oh, what you say, John? |
39078 | Oh, what you say, John? |
39078 | Once the negroes sang:"Who''s that yonder all dressed in black? |
39078 | Others sung it"Nobody knows the trouble I see, or I''ve had", and asked:"Brother, sister, preacher, will you pray for me?" |
39078 | Should they be permitted to become a lost record of the race? |
39078 | Sinner, what you gwine do when the lamp stops burnin'', Let yo''light shine all over the world? |
39078 | Stop young man, I''ve something to say; You know you''re sinful and why do n''t you pray? |
39078 | The meaning of the expression is something like"Yes?" |
39078 | The old plantation song, instead of saying,"Brother Daniel over yonder,"had it,"Wonder where is good ole Daniel? |
39078 | The old slave and plantation song asked:"Who''ll jine de Union?" |
39078 | The old songs asked:"Wus you dere when dey crucified my Lord? |
39078 | The plantation song asked, O whar you runnin'', sinner? |
39078 | The plantation songs called to him:"Where you goin''sinner? |
39078 | Then when he has finished he begins all over again, if he wishes and sings:"Sister, ai n''t you glad? |
39078 | To this place the negro imagines he will go and who knows but that he may fly there? |
39078 | Tole me whar''my Saviour gone; Whar''shall I be? |
39078 | Well ai n''t it a pity, pity? |
39078 | Well ai n''t you goin''to get ready? |
39078 | Well did you say you love Jesus? |
39078 | Well do n''t you know it''s mournin''time? |
39078 | Well my mother got a letter, O yes, Well she could not read it, O yes, What you reckon that letter said? |
39078 | Well, did you say that you love Jesus? |
39078 | Well, wo n''t you get in the Union? |
39078 | Whar''shall I be when it sounds so loud? |
39078 | What does he mean when he asks:"Does yo''love continue true?" |
39078 | What if his words were rude and its music ill- constructed? |
39078 | What kin''er shoes is dem you wear? |
39078 | What make ole satan hate me so? |
39078 | What''s dat yonder dat I see? |
39078 | When dey put the crown of thorns on?" |
39078 | When it sound so loud that it wake up the dead, Whar''shall I be when it sounds?_ Well God showed Noar de rainbow sign, Whar''shall I be? |
39078 | When it sound so loud that it wake up the dead, Whar''shall I be when it sounds?_ Well God showed Noar de rainbow sign, Whar''shall I be? |
39078 | Where wus Ezekiel when de church fell down? |
39078 | Who is that yonder all dressed in red? |
39078 | Who knows if the negroes often dream of the grandeurs of the sky? |
39078 | Why did n''t you take heed at the judgment? |
39078 | Why do n''t you go to meetin''an''pray all day long? |
39078 | Why does you tarry, sinner, Why does you wait so long? |
39078 | Wid seben lamps in his right han'', Whar''shall I be? |
39078 | Wo n''t you come an''get ready to die? |
39078 | Wo n''t you come, for my Lord is callin''you?_ How do you know that my Lord is callin'', O yes? |
39078 | Wo n''t you come, for my Lord is callin''you?_ How do you know that my Lord is callin'', O yes? |
39078 | Wo n''t you come, wo n''t you come? |
39078 | Wo n''t you ride on Jesus? |
39078 | Wonder where is sinkin''Peter?" |
39078 | Wonder where''s dem Hebrew children? |
39078 | Wonder where''s doubtin''Thomas? |
39078 | Yer say yo''Jesus set you free; Why do n''t you let yo''neighbors be? |
39078 | Yes''who''s that yonder all dressed in blue? |
39078 | Yes, I say I love the Lord._ All I wants to know is,"Does you love Jesus?" |
39078 | Yes, ai n''t you goin''to get ready? |
39078 | _ An''heaven bell ring an''praise God._ What shall I do for hiding place? |
39078 | _ Down on my knees, Down on my knees, I heard the angels singing._ Well who that yonder all dressed in black? |
39078 | _ En, ho, ho, did n''t it rain? |
39078 | _ O my Lord, shall I be the one? |
39078 | _ Or you ca n''t cross there._ Where are you goin'', sinner, Where are you goin'', I say? |
39078 | _ Was n''t that a witness for my Lord? |
39078 | _ Was n''t that a witness for my Lord? |
39078 | _ Wo n''t you come, wo n''t you come? |
39078 | _ Wo n''t you ride on Jesus? |
39078 | _ Yes, I say that I love Jesus, Yes, I say I love the Lord._ If you love Jesus, you ca n''t keep it, All I want to know is,"Does you love the Lord?" |
39078 | and had not the"blood done sign his name"? |
39078 | or when he insists:"I wants to know, does you love yo''Jesus?" |
39078 | wore the crown? |
47080 | ''Who is there?'' 47080 A charade? |
47080 | And does not that exasperate him? |
47080 | And what is there so attractive about it? |
47080 | Are these thine eyes? |
47080 | At what hour? |
47080 | But how is he able to maintain order and harmony in his harem, and to keep down jealousy and rivalry? |
47080 | But the King, what does the King say? |
47080 | Did he speak in the name of his Master? |
47080 | Do you know how we were occupied when you arrived? |
47080 | Do you know who she was? |
47080 | Do you not see that she is fainting? |
47080 | Do you recall that sentence of_ King Lear_,he asked me,"''The worst is not yet,''when they had said:''this is the worst''? |
47080 | Dost thou still belong to me? |
47080 | How can I, in the open streets? 47080 How,"said I,"could you believe that I would bring such a rabble here?" |
47080 | In what way, and why? |
47080 | Is he asleep? |
47080 | Is this thy mouth? |
47080 | It is incredible, is it not? 47080 Madeira at his age?" |
47080 | May we have supper? |
47080 | My beloved? |
47080 | My darling, art thou truly mine? |
47080 | My friends,I said to them,"in the face of a delicate situation do you feel the moral force to do something unusual, grand, heroic?" |
47080 | Not in the service of the Master? |
47080 | Oh, did you see? |
47080 | Then Master, what will you be able to do here before Thursday? |
47080 | Then there is a connection between you? |
47080 | Then there was an original? |
47080 | Thy heart? |
47080 | True enough, but what? |
47080 | What can such a word mean? |
47080 | What dost thou seek, thou who comest up from below? |
47080 | What is the matter? 47080 What on earth is that extraordinary word,''Dampfschifffahrtgesellschaft?''" |
47080 | What people? |
47080 | What time is it? |
47080 | What will become of this precious paper, then? |
47080 | What, do you imagine that I am intoxicated? 47080 Where do these beings come from?" |
47080 | Where is the Alte Pferdestrasse? |
47080 | Who is that young man? |
47080 | Who is that? |
47080 | Who is this Scheffer, then? |
47080 | Will you come to see my gallery? |
47080 | Would you like it? |
47080 | ''[ 2] The melancholy of the hour, the clear evening, the shining star and the pastoral life, it is all there; why seek for anything further?" |
47080 | ("Fidi, how big are you?") |
47080 | ******** De quel mica de neige vierge, De quelle moelle de roseau, De quelle hostie et de quel cierge A- t- on fait le blanc de sa peau?..." |
47080 | A mystification? |
47080 | A wager? |
47080 | Adhere can I get the information necessary in order not to be misleading?" |
47080 | Before Wagner, we two alone?" |
47080 | But can I not persuade you to prolong your stay in Lucerne for a little, in order that the pleasure you grant me may not be too soon over? |
47080 | But how can I feel any ill- will toward the King for his impatience? |
47080 | But how should I be received? |
47080 | But how? |
47080 | But what architect would be capable of constructing this monument according to the ideas of the Master? |
47080 | But what serious thing can have happened to bring you to my house so late?" |
47080 | But why should we cause such a commotion amid the placid population of Lucerne? |
47080 | But, all the same, we must not arrive too soon at Tribschen, and how should we pass the time until the fitting moment arrived? |
47080 | By the lake? |
47080 | Can you imagine my emotion in listening to them? |
47080 | Could anything be going wrong? |
47080 | Could it be possible that a tenor acclaimed by all should have so little vanity and be so nobly conscious of his artistic mission? |
47080 | Could it be that he was a saint? |
47080 | Could it be that we were surrounded by a luminous mist, visible to less fortunate mortals? |
47080 | Could we be dreaming? |
47080 | Did that ill- omened ship come to roam by night upon this impassable stream? |
47080 | Do you love the Florentine style? |
47080 | Do you not understand? |
47080 | Does not his habit make a difference to them?" |
47080 | Does not the staff still burden our hands? |
47080 | For what purpose? |
47080 | Greatly surprised and relieved I cried out, impulsively--"Will you authorise me to write that to Cosima?" |
47080 | How could he foresee that this little slip of paper marked the end of all his troubles, and that happiness was in store for him? |
47080 | How did they know?... |
47080 | I demanded,"and whither do they go?" |
47080 | I find that he has the very suave manners of a priest-- but how can he be a priest, and why are all these women so taken with him? |
47080 | I have composed one myself, very absurd, but who could find a rhyme to add to it? |
47080 | I was evidently out of the running, I was ignorant of everything: why that long black cassock? |
47080 | I was greatly moved, troubled, even frightened, for was it not a presumption, almost a sacrilege, to surprise in this way the sacred mystery? |
47080 | In fact, as soon as we were alone, he said to me in a low voice:--"You have seen Cosima?" |
47080 | In whom could I confide? |
47080 | Is n''t that magnificent? |
47080 | Is not the drinking horn of the pilgrim still hanging from our shoulders? |
47080 | Is that in the play? |
47080 | Is that why he grew so pale?" |
47080 | Of this character one did not ask,"Who is he?" |
47080 | Poet, musician, philosopher-- what, indeed, was he not? |
47080 | Shall I let him go? |
47080 | So the barbers of Lucerne were Wagnerians? |
47080 | The first telegram which arrived the next day was for Richter:"Will they really offer me such an insult as to give my work to- morrow?" |
47080 | The lady starts:"Who can be ringing at my house at such an hour?" |
47080 | The management was stubborn: nevertheless it would have to concede one point; who would conduct the orchestra, if not Richter? |
47080 | They ask him:"Fidi, wie gross bist du?" |
47080 | To be sure, we had never before seen him, but how could anyone fail to recognise him? |
47080 | Toward him who has endeavoured in every way to put through the theatre project which would have permitted the bringing out of my work as a whole? |
47080 | Truly it was very terrifying; what would come of all this mystery? |
47080 | Was he a priest? |
47080 | Was it because he had an intimation of some change, or had they sent him to bear us a last salute? |
47080 | Was it because they knew us to be friends of Richard Wagner, and because the jealously- guarded retreat in which he lived was open for us? |
47080 | Were his enemies still so implacable, and what could they do? |
47080 | What can I say? |
47080 | What can he mean? |
47080 | What can that word mean?" |
47080 | What could be happening? |
47080 | What could he wish to say? |
47080 | What could one add to that? |
47080 | What could result from all these artful under- hand dealings? |
47080 | What had he to fear? |
47080 | What has happened? |
47080 | What has she done to you?" |
47080 | What in the world could it be? |
47080 | What is happening? |
47080 | What plans of future glory have they already formed for him?" |
47080 | What would it be in French? |
47080 | What would they say, and what attitude of mind would they reveal?" |
47080 | Where is he going?" |
47080 | Who would not feel the fascination and submit joyfully to the supremacy of such a genius? |
47080 | Why are you so late? |
47080 | With that smooth- shaven face, had he also a tonsure in the locks that fell long and straight to his shoulders? |
47080 | Would attention be paid to the author''s suggestions? |
47080 | Would everything be ready? |
47080 | Would there still be boats at that hour? |
47080 | You could find time for that?" |
47080 | You will come presently to''Tribschen,''will you not, as soon as you have rested a little? |
47080 | [ 3] But since there are no airs? |
47080 | and did they really imagine that we would proceed to play at charades in the city? |
47080 | asked Villiers,"always so silent and buried in his beard? |
47080 | cried I,"have you not sent it yet? |
47080 | do they really believe so? |
47080 | he said,"are you there? |
47080 | was he already so far advanced in that tremendous work?" |
47080 | what does it matter? |
47080 | where have you been? |
47080 | without seeing even one rehearsal of your work?" |
36621 | ''Sdeath, sir, how dare you!--_ Sir Chr._''Sdeath, sir, how dare you look an honest man in the face? |
36621 | ''Sdeath, sir, would you have me travel like a lord? |
36621 | ''sbud, do you doubt my glass? |
36621 | All right, think ye? |
36621 | And how came you, sir, to impose upon me, and assume the name of Inkle? |
36621 | Ar''n''t I governor of Barbadoes? |
36621 | Are you then really acquainted with the whole affair? |
36621 | At it again, eh? |
36621 | But are you sure, now, you ar''n''t mistaken? |
36621 | But did you mind the women? |
36621 | But do we muster all hands? |
36621 | But how do you like this, Wows? |
36621 | But how the plague am I to live here? |
36621 | But suppose you meet an old shabby friend in misfortune, that you do n''t wish to be seen speak to-- what would you do? |
36621 | But then, the report of his hospitality-- his odd, blunt, whimsical friendship-- his whole behaviour--_ Nar._ All stare you in the face; eh, Campley? |
36621 | But what are we to do next, sir? |
36621 | But where shall I look for safety? |
36621 | But you have had a lover or two in your time; eh, Wowski? |
36621 | But, in two words, will you dispose of her, or no? |
36621 | But, old Medium, what have you to say for your hopeful nephew? |
36621 | D''ye understand your lesson? |
36621 | Do you like it? |
36621 | Do you think I travel merely for motion? |
36621 | He great prince? |
36621 | His hair puffed? |
36621 | How can I, in honour, retract? |
36621 | I had forgot one material point-- you ar''n''t married, I hope? |
36621 | I wish my countrywomen could see me----But wo n''t your warriors kill us? |
36621 | Is n''t it fine? |
36621 | Is not it, as it were, a marriage made above? |
36621 | Is that young Indian of yours going to our market? |
36621 | My presence might distress her-- You conceive me? |
36621 | Od''s my life!----Now for the news-- If it is but as I hope-- Any dispatches? |
36621 | Our black fair? |
36621 | Sail._ Do? |
36621 | Tell me how it happened? |
36621 | Tell me, my good fellow-- what said the wench? |
36621 | What did your countrymen do for the poor fellow? |
36621 | What he''s at his multiplication table again? |
36621 | What make you love me now? |
36621 | What must we do, lads? |
36621 | What plan can I follow? |
36621 | What say you, girl? |
36621 | What the deuce should I be afraid of? |
36621 | What the plague made you loiter so long? |
36621 | What then? |
36621 | What was it? |
36621 | What? |
36621 | Why hover about the city, instead of boldly attacking the guard? |
36621 | Why not? |
36621 | Why, sure, friend, you would not live here with a black? |
36621 | With white and grey hair, eh, my pretty beauty spot? |
36621 | You are acquainted with his character, no doubt, to a hair? |
36621 | You remember the instructions I gave you on the voyage? |
36621 | Zounds, have not I given you proofs? |
36621 | Zounds, what harm did I ever do to be hunted to death by a pack of bloodhounds? |
36621 | [_ Aside._] I fancy, young gentleman, as you are such a bosom friend of the Governor''s, you can hardly do any thing to alter your situation with him? |
36621 | [_ Aside._][_ Exit.__ Inkle._''Sdeath, what am I about? |
36621 | [_ Aside._]_ Med._ Why, what the devil is the matter with you? |
36621 | [_ Clapping INKLE on the shoulder._]_ Sir Chr._ How came you to know him? |
36621 | [_ Exit.__ Sir Chr._ Well-- shall I see the girl? |
36621 | [_ Exit.__ Wows._ Who be that fine man? |

36621 | [_ Kisses her._] Well, how do you do? |
36621 | [_ Peeping in at the door._]_ Trudge._ May I come in, sir? |
36621 | [_ Stroking his chin._] Was it like mine? |
36621 | [_ To the Governor._]_ Sir Chr._ Well, young gentleman? |
36621 | [_ WOWSKI goes to TRUDGE._]_ Yar._ And shall we-- shall we be happy? |
36621 | _ 2d Plant._ What were the sailors aboard? |
36621 | _ Camp._ Will my Narcissa consent to my happiness? |
36621 | _ Inkle._ And where is Yarico? |
36621 | _ Inkle._ Are there no better inns in the town? |
36621 | _ Inkle._ Have you provided a proper apartment? |
36621 | _ Inkle._ I follow you-- Yet, can you run some risk in following me? |
36621 | _ Inkle._ I have no means-- how can I? |
36621 | _ Inkle._ Is he so hasty? |
36621 | _ Inkle._ Joy!----of what? |
36621 | _ Inkle._ Suppose, old gentleman, you had a son? |
36621 | _ Inkle._ Trudge, how far are the sailors before us? |
36621 | _ Inkle._ Well, is the coast clear? |
36621 | _ Inkle._ What does the booby want? |
36621 | _ Inkle._ Whence comes your intelligence, sir? |
36621 | _ Inkle._ Why sure you ar''n''t afraid? |
36621 | _ Med._ And is n''t it determined, between the old folks, that you are to marry Narcissa, as soon as we get there? |
36621 | _ Med._ Shall they? |
36621 | _ Med._ Then what the devil do you do here, hunting old hairy negroes, when you ought to be obliging a fine girl in the ship? |
36621 | _ Med._ Well, Sir Christopher, what do you say to my hopeful nephew now? |
36621 | _ Med._ Who, I afraid? |
36621 | _ Med._ You were? |
36621 | _ Nar._ What signifies talking to_ me_, when you have such opposition from others? |
36621 | _ O say, simple maid, have you form''d any notion__ Of all the rude dangers in crossing the ocean?__ When winds whistle shrilly, ah! |
36621 | _ Oh then turn about, my little tawny tight one!__ Do n''t you like me?_ Wows. |
36621 | _ Patty._ And this is she he has brought to Barbadoes? |
36621 | _ Patty._ Gemini; what did you do? |
36621 | _ Patty._ Lord your honour, what young lady could refuse a captain? |
36621 | _ Patty._ Lord, ma''am, how could that be? |
36621 | _ Patty._ Lord, madam, how is it possible to help talking? |
36621 | _ Patty._ Well; and tell me, Trudge;--she''s pretty, you say-- Is she fair or brown? |
36621 | _ Patty._ Well? |
36621 | _ Patty._ What, all alone? |
36621 | _ Plant._ Aye, aye, natural enough at sea.--But at how much do you value her? |
36621 | _ Plant._ I mean, is she for our sale of slaves? |
36621 | _ Plant._ She''s your slave, I take it? |
36621 | _ Sir Chr._ And did you, Narcissa, join in--_ Nar._ How could I, my dear sir, disobey you? |
36621 | _ Sir Chr._ But you would not sell her, and be hang''d to you, you dog, would you? |
36621 | _ Sir Chr._ From the quay? |
36621 | _ Sir Chr._ So much the better.----Foibles, quotha? |
36621 | _ Sir Chr._ Who? |
36621 | _ Sir Chr._ Who? |
36621 | _ Trudge._ And what became of him at last? |
36621 | _ Trudge._ Aye, what was that for? |
36621 | _ Trudge._ Can you keep a secret? |
36621 | _ Trudge._ Did n''t you hear a noise? |
36621 | _ Trudge._ Fine men, eh? |
36621 | _ Trudge._ Let''s see now-- What are you to do, when I introduce you to the nobility, gentry, and others-- of my acquaintance? |
36621 | _ Trudge._ Me? |
36621 | _ Trudge._ No? |
36621 | _ Trudge._ Why would you do that? |
36621 | _ Trudge._ Why, there''s no great harm in''t, I hope? |
36621 | _ Trudge._ Will you? |
36621 | _ Trudge._ Wo n''t you look and see? |
36621 | _ Wampum, Swampum, Yanko, Lanko, Nanko, Pownatowski,__ Black men-- plenty-- twenty-- fight for me,__ White man, woo you true?_ Trudge. |
36621 | _ Who?_ Wows. |
36621 | _ Wows._ For what you leave me? |
36621 | _ Wows._ No, no-- not you-- no--[_Running to him anxiously._]_ Trudge._ No? |
36621 | _ Wows._ Steal!--What that? |
36621 | _ Wows._ What that? |
36621 | _ Wows._ You great man in your country? |
36621 | _ Wows._ You not love me now? |
36621 | _ Wows._ Your countrymen dress so? |
36621 | _ Yar._ And do you know the danger that surrounds you here? |
36621 | _ Yar._ And sha n''t it, sha n''t it indeed? |
36621 | _ Yar._ I knew we should-- and yet I feared-- but shall I still watch over you? |
36621 | _ Yar._ Nay, do not laugh at me-- but is it so? |
36621 | _ Yar._ Say, stranger, whence come you? |
36621 | a tawny? |
36621 | and how are you to recommend yourself, when you have nothing to say, amongst all our great friends? |
36621 | and what were her colours? |
36621 | and you learnt it from a strange man, that tumbled from a big boat, many moons ago, you say? |
36621 | another woman? |
36621 | blood, ar''n''t I in the West Indies? |
36621 | did he teach you to smoke? |
36621 | did n''t you do as you were ordered? |
36621 | did n''t you speak to her? |
36621 | did she say she''d come? |
36621 | he!--Do you think any smart, tight, little, black- eyed wench, would be struck with my figure? |
36621 | he''ll arrive with the next vessel, depend on''t-- besides, have not I had this in view ever since they were children? |
36621 | how can she unmov''d e''er see__ Her swain his death incur?__ If once the squire is seen expire,__ He lives with her._ All. |
36621 | how could you help it? |
36621 | is this a time to jest? |
36621 | let it be light and airy, d''ye hear? |
36621 | pardon me; but you''ll find that hereafter-- besides, you, doubtless, know his character? |
36621 | the fine lady''s complexions? |
36621 | was he like me? |
36621 | what form is this?----are you a man? |
36621 | what means, then, must be used for my safety? |
36621 | what''s that? |
36621 | what''s the meaning of this? |
36621 | whence can it proceed? |
36621 | why this? |
36621 | why what shall I do, if I get in their paws? |
36621 | with what? |
36621 | wo n''t they remind you,__ To sigh with regret, for the grot left behind you?_ Yar. |
36621 | you mean to sell her? |
15915 | ''Tis strange... can it be?... |
15915 | ''tis there that breathes The dove who''s now your amorous care, The beautiful Olympia? |
15915 | Ah comprends- tu, dis moi, cette joie éternelle Des coeurs silencieux? |
15915 | Ah dear Antonia, shall I appreciate What you do for me? |
15915 | Ah malheureux, mais tu ne sais donc pas Qu''une heure, qu''un moment, peuvent t''être funestes? |
15915 | Ah, qu''elle est cette voix qui me trouble l''esprit? |
15915 | Ah, unfortunate, but you do not know That an hour, a moment, may prove fatal? |
15915 | Ah, what is this voice that troubles my spirit? |
15915 | Aime- t- on une courtisane? |
15915 | Am I nothing? |
15915 | And I? |
15915 | And what dream ever could be born By such realities? |
15915 | Antonia? |
15915 | Après?... |
15915 | Are you coming? |
15915 | As- tu le cauchemar, Hoffmann? |
15915 | At the feet of the beauty who gives us joy Does pleasure sigh? |
15915 | Au moins sait-- elle que tu l''aimes? |
15915 | Aux pieds de la beauté qui nous vient enivrer Le plaisir doit il soupirer? |
15915 | But is it not she? |
15915 | By whom thy latent sorrow Exhales in heavenly dreams? |
15915 | Car toi, tu ne vas pas sans doute me défendre De chanter, comme a fait mon père? |
15915 | Ce qu''il nous faut, c''est la légende De Klein- Zach?... |
15915 | Ce que tu fais pour moi? |
15915 | Comment obtenir d''elle Un pareil sacrifice? |
15915 | Dans ton coeur? |
15915 | Dare you invoke her? |
15915 | Did I love you for it, or it for you? |
15915 | Do you know what a sacrifice? |
15915 | Do you want us to drink without you?... |
15915 | Does one love a courtezan? |
15915 | Eh bien, Antonia? |
15915 | Eh bien, mon père qu''a- t- il dit? |
15915 | Eh bien? |
15915 | Est- ce l''enfer qui parle ou Dieu qui m''avertit? |
15915 | Est- ce un fantôme? |
15915 | Est- il mort? |
15915 | Et moi? |
15915 | Et quelles rêves, jamais, pourraient être enfantés Par de telles realités? |
15915 | Et sans rideau? |
15915 | Et tout à l''houre encor, sur son coeur adoré, Quel amour eternal ne m''a- t- il pas juré... Ah qui me sauvera du démon, de moi- même?... |
15915 | Grace, beauty, talent, sacred gift; All these blessings that heaven gave for your share, Must they be hid in the shadow of a household? |
15915 | Ha, ha, plus sourd encore que l''au passe? |
15915 | Have I wounded you? |
15915 | Have you a nightmare, Hoffmann? |
15915 | He imposes on your youth, and have you measured it? |
15915 | He, doctor? |
15915 | Hein? |
15915 | Hey, who''s there? |
15915 | Hoffman? |
15915 | Hoffman?... |
15915 | Hoffmann? |
15915 | How obtain from her Such a sacrifice? |
15915 | How old are you, please? |
15915 | I, the faithful friend, Whose hand wiped thy tears? |
15915 | In your heart? |
15915 | Is he dead? |
15915 | Is it Hell that speaks or Heaven that warns me? |
15915 | Is it a ghost? |
15915 | Is it not a dream born of fever? |
15915 | Klein- Zach? |
15915 | Klein- Zach?... |
15915 | Lui, medicin? |
15915 | MIRACLE( re- appears behind Antonia) Your mother? |
15915 | Mais n''est- ce pas elle Qui parle par ma voix, ingrate, et te rappelle, La splendeur de son nom que tu veux abdiquer? |
15915 | Mais toi même? |
15915 | Moi, la fidèle amie Do nt la main essuya tes yeux? |
15915 | Mon coeur m''avait bien dit que j''étais regretté Mais pour quoi nous a- t- on séparés? |
15915 | Mon reflet? |
15915 | Must I lose her I adore? |
15915 | My heart told me that I was regretted, But why were we separated? |
15915 | My reflection? |
15915 | My reflection? |
15915 | N''est-- ce pas un rêve enfanté par la fièvre? |
15915 | Ne suis- je rien? |
15915 | O Dieu de quelle ivresses embrases tu mon âme? |
15915 | Oh, oh, whence comes this ill temper? |
15915 | On what thorn have you trod? |
15915 | Oserai- je? |
15915 | Ou donc est- il? |
15915 | Oui, c''est sa voix, l''entends tu? |
15915 | Où vas tu? |
15915 | Par qui la douleur endormie S''exhale en rêve dans les cieux? |
15915 | Perdrai- je l''enfant que j''adore? |
15915 | Plait- il? |
15915 | Plaît- il? |
15915 | Pour l''assassiner? |
15915 | Pourquoi ces cris? |
15915 | Pourquoi cette chanson? |
15915 | Pourquoi t''arrêter? |
15915 | Pourquoi? |
15915 | Pourquoi?... |
15915 | Pourrai- je reconnaître? |
15915 | Pourtant, ô ma fiancée, Te dirai- je une pensée Qui me trouble malgre moi? |
15915 | Q''attendez- vous de votre servante? |
15915 | Qu''as tu donc? |
15915 | Qu''attendez vous, monsieur? |
15915 | Qu''elle ardeur m''entraine et me dévore? |
15915 | Qu''en fais tu maintenant? |
15915 | Qu''en peut on dire? |
15915 | Quant aux traits de sa figure?... |
15915 | Que dis tu? |
15915 | Que dit il? |
15915 | Que fais tu, traitre? |
15915 | Que mon amour te perd a jamais si tu restes? |
15915 | Que parles- tu de trois maîtresses? |
15915 | Que veux tu dire? |
15915 | Que voulez vous qu''on dise? |
15915 | Quel age avez vous, je vous prie? |
15915 | Quel âge?... |
15915 | Quels amours sont donc les vôtres? |
15915 | Qui de nous les arrêtera? |
15915 | Qui sait? |
15915 | Qui, moi? |
15915 | Qui, mon père à présent, m''impose la vertu Du silence( vivement) Veux tu m''entendre? |
15915 | Qui? |
15915 | Quoi d''un regard?... |
15915 | Quoi? |
15915 | Quoi? |
15915 | Quoi? |
15915 | Sais tu quel sacrifice, S''impose ta jeunesse et l''as tu mesuré? |
15915 | Sans couvre- pied? |
15915 | Sans oreiller? |
15915 | Son reflet... tu doutes De la puissance de tes yeux? |
15915 | Still, oh my affianced, Shall I speak my thought? |
15915 | Sur quelle herbe as- tu donc marché? |
15915 | T''aimé- je donc pour elle, ou elle pour toi? |
15915 | Ta maîtresse est donc un trésor Que tu méprises tant les nôtres? |
15915 | Ta mère? |
15915 | That Schlemil, this night, may strike you in my arms? |
15915 | That my love will cost your life if you remain? |
15915 | The deuce... why reopen old wounds? |
15915 | Then your mistress is such a treasure That you despise so much our own? |
15915 | This good monsieur Crespel, I like him, But where is he? |
15915 | This time do you hear? |
15915 | Tu me fuis? |
15915 | Un rayon de flamme Pare ta beauté, Verras tu l''été, Fleur de l''âme? |
15915 | Until then Will you do me the favor To keep company with my Olympia? |
15915 | Veux- tu qu''on se grise sans toi?... |
15915 | Viens tu? |
15915 | Voulez- vous le récit de ces folles amours?... |
15915 | Vous me quittez? |
15915 | Vous voyez, jusque là Voulez vous me faire la grâce De tenir compagnie à mon Olympia? |
15915 | Well, Antonia? |
15915 | Well, this trouble she inherited From her mother? |
15915 | Well? |
15915 | Well? |
15915 | What ardor draws and devours me? |
15915 | What are you saying of three mistresses? |
15915 | What can they say? |
15915 | What can we possibly say? |
15915 | What did my father say? |
15915 | What did you say? |
15915 | What do you await from your servant? |
15915 | What do you mean? |
15915 | What do you wait for? |
15915 | What do you, traitor? |
15915 | What is he saying? |
15915 | What say you? |
15915 | What then? |
15915 | What will you do with him now? |
15915 | What? |
15915 | What? |
15915 | What? |
15915 | What? |
15915 | What? |
15915 | What? |
15915 | Where are you going? |
15915 | Who of us will do it? |
15915 | Who speaks by my voice ingrate, and recalls to you The splendor of the name that you would abdicate? |
15915 | Who, me? |
15915 | Who? |
15915 | Why stop? |
15915 | Why these cries? |
15915 | Why this song? |
15915 | Why, what is the matter? |
15915 | Why? |
15915 | Why? |
15915 | Will you see the summer? |
15915 | Wo n''t she take supper? |
15915 | Would you like the story of my crazy loves?... |
15915 | Ye gods with what bliss ye fire my heart? |
15915 | Yes, yes,''tis her voice, do you hear? |
15915 | You do not answer?... |
15915 | You doubt The power of your eyes? |
15915 | You escape me?... |
15915 | Your mother? |
15915 | am I the plaything of a dream? |
15915 | by a look... through a window? |
15915 | ce mal qu''elle hérita, De sa mère toujours en progrès? |
15915 | combien de temps Vivra- t- elle? |
15915 | d''où vient cet air fâché? |
15915 | entends tu, cette fois? |
15915 | how long will it be That it lives? |
15915 | mon reflet? |
15915 | oses tu l''invoquer?... |
15915 | par la fenêtre? |
15915 | qu''ai je fait? |
15915 | suis- je jouet d''un rêve? |
15915 | t''ai- je irritee? |
15915 | trois drames dans un drame Olympia? |
15915 | we''re not all of us deaf? |
15915 | à quoi bon rouvrir une vieille blessure? |
14884 | Perhaps you think you could play this at sight, boy? |
14884 | To what shall we compare Ole Bull''s playing? 14884 What else can you do?" |

6443 | ''And might not a widower try?'' 6443 ''And shall this woman here,''he asks,''whom I love, go with me and with you there?'' |
6443 | ''And what people,''asks the dwarf,''live upon the mountains?'' 6443 ''And who live up among the clouds?'' |
6443 | ''But could I pass through the fire?'' 6443 ''But suppose,''says the Fire God,''that some one should steal the ring from you while you were asleep?'' |
6443 | ''Fear?'' 6443 ''What must I give you?'' |
6443 | ''Who is that,''he thinks,''covered with the shield? 6443 Ambrosia? |
6443 | And did you really, really see it all in the fire? |
6443 | And is that all? |
6443 | And what became of the princess? |
6443 | And what now of the hero? 6443 And whom do you think I see now? |
6443 | And will the knight get well again? |
6443 | And wo n''t the knight come back at all? |
6443 | And you can see all those things in the fire? |
6443 | Are there any marshmallows left? |
6443 | But how can anybody see such things? 6443 But oh, what of those to whom the letters were sent? |
6443 | But the new year will begin to- morrow,I said,"and it will be just as good as the old one, will it not?" |
6443 | But what is this more wonderful sight still that he sees? 6443 But what made the man who was wrong ever fight at all,"the little girl asked,"if everybody believed that he was sure to get beaten?" |
6443 | But why ca n''t I see such things as you see? |
6443 | Can you? 6443 Did you want to know more about the Daughter of the God and the Hero who knew no fear?" |
6443 | Do you mean Jupiter and Juno? |
6443 | Do you see how very wrong it is for the knight to go away after the goddess into the mountain? 6443 Do you think anybody could see anything in a fire like that?" |
6443 | Do you want him to be a knight? |
6443 | Does she, indeed? 6443 He sees all this just as plainly as I see it here in the fire; but do you think he is afraid? |
6443 | Is he a knight? |
6443 | Is he braver than the one that killed the dragon? |
6443 | Is n''t it time,she said,"that the daughter of somebody else was asleep, too, if she wants to grow to be a woman?" |
6443 | Is she Venus then? |
6443 | Is she the one that had the apples? |
6443 | It ends just like''The Sleeping Beauty,''does n''t it? |
6443 | Now the stranger looks stern and says:''But who shall mend the sword that it may be fit for the fight?'' 6443 Oh, I believe anything you say,"said the child,"but where is the green knight?" |
6443 | Oh, that''s the way they always are,said the little girl;"is she beautifuller than the one that had the fire all round her?" |
6443 | Perhaps you know what this is, but I am afraid you do n''t Do you remember what I told you once about the Holy Grail? 6443 The town clerk hobbles away, and now who should come in but the goldsmith''s daughter herself? |
6443 | Were the apples like that-- oh, what was it? 6443 What are you two doing here all alone? |
6443 | What can you see in it? |
6443 | What do you mean by''the people in those days''? |
6443 | You can see things all around the fire, just the same as in it, ca n''t you? |
6443 | ''A pleasant- looking fellow you are,''he says;''can you teach me what fear is? |
6443 | ''And what will you give us now,''they cry,''if we will untie you and let you go?'' |
6443 | ''But why should he not win?'' |
6443 | ''Can it be,''he thinks,''that this is the Fool, taught by pity, for whom we were to wait?'' |
6443 | ''Did you kill this poor bird?'' |
6443 | ''Do you know what you have seen?'' |
6443 | ''Do you not know,''the old knight asks him,''what holy day this is, and that none now should come here bearing arms?'' |
6443 | ''Have you ever known fear?'' |
6443 | ''Have you not a daughter?'' |
6443 | ''Is the knight awake?'' |
6443 | ''Is the ransom ready for us?'' |
6443 | ''Is the ship nowhere in sight?'' |
6443 | ''This is my daughter,''he says;''is she not all and more than all that I told you?'' |
6443 | ''What is the matter?'' |
6443 | ''What people, then,''he asks for his first question,''live under the ground?'' |
6443 | ''Why should we try all these things,''he thinks again,''when none can help him but the simple Fool?'' |
6443 | ''Why, do you see this magic helmet of mine? |
6443 | Ah, when will her hero come back to her? |
6443 | And because of that did his sweetheart perhaps lose a ribbon or a trinket? |
6443 | And how does your mother know what I can see in the fire or what I ca n''t see?" |
6443 | And is there any thing that such a hero loves better than a good sword? |
6443 | And what do you see in the fire now?" |
6443 | And who do you think is working at the forge? |
6443 | And whom do you think the king''s new bride sees in all this happy crowd? |
6443 | Are the King''s men coming then to carry back the princess, perhaps to kill the knight? |
6443 | Are the flowers alive, and are they running about and playing together? |
6443 | Are they the sea fairies, dancing and playing together and calming the water, to bring the sailors safe back to their homes, do you think?" |
6443 | But a harder task than all is to come for the Father of the Gods; how shall he deal with his own daughter, who has disobeyed him? |
6443 | But how do you suppose the minstrel knight likes it? |
6443 | But what was this other music that followed it? |
6443 | But who would do it and give up her own life?'' |
6443 | Can he save her and go back again to the rage of the storm and live in it forever, live in it till doomsday? |
6443 | Can you hear that too?" |
6443 | Can you not see her yet?'' |
6443 | Can you see them all the time?" |
6443 | Can you see them? |
6443 | Can you think how a bunch of sweet, fresh, red and white roses would look if it should get terribly angry? |
6443 | Can you think of anything more horrible? |
6443 | Did he catch at this very stick as he sank? |
6443 | Did his wife wait and wait for him at home, till his shipmate came and told her? |
6443 | Did the captain''s daughter and the young mate sit under it and whisper stories to each other in the calm evenings of the voyage? |
6443 | Did you ever hear of such absurd conduct from a young man dressed in green? |
6443 | Did you ever hear of the Holy Grail? |
6443 | Did you see the big, bright spark that flew up the chimney? |
6443 | Do n''t you know you''ll catch your death o''cold sitting here so long?" |
6443 | Do you know who Davy Jones is? |
6443 | Do you see, then, why he has kept him and fed him and brought him up so carefully? |
6443 | Does everything in the place know that he is here, too, and feel sad to see him lying sick and wounded and weak and weary? |
6443 | Does it not tell of green palm- groves and sunny skies and warm breezes? |
6443 | For what was he to any woman that she should give her life, or even an hour of it, for him? |
6443 | How could anybody sing when he was thinking of that? |
6443 | How do you see them?" |
6443 | I mean can anybody?" |
6443 | Is it a pleasant thing to have or to know or to do? |
6443 | Is it something I ought to know how to do, something you ought to have taught me and have not? |
6443 | Is that all you care for a promise? |
6443 | Is this the promise that the Father of the Gods made to his daughter? |
6443 | It must be a knight, but is it not hard for him to lie there all dressed in armor?'' |
6443 | Now can you? |
6443 | THE HERO WHO KNEW NO FEAR"Do n''t you think the fire is very good to- night?" |
6443 | That he is a fool the old man thinks is clear enough, but how could he kill the swan? |
6443 | That is enough, is it not?" |
6443 | The Father of the Gods hesitates; how can he get the treasure? |
6443 | The child came to me with a face full of perplexity and said:"What do you suppose mamma just told me?" |
6443 | The king asks, just as everybody always asks when he is told that,''Whom do you want me to have?'' |
6443 | This is a good answer, and the stranger asks again:''What sword must he use to kill the dragon?'' |
6443 | Was his life or his peace better than another''s, that another''s should be given for his? |
6443 | Was it again the bells of Monsalvat, this soft chime that came on the still air? |
6443 | Was it blown away from the mast in a gale? |
6443 | Was the net torn when it broke away, and did the fisherman lose some fish? |
6443 | What can she do? |
6443 | What do the nymphs say to the dwarf? |
6443 | What do you think became of her?" |
6443 | What does it look like to you?" |
6443 | What does it to you?" |
6443 | What has he done? |
6443 | What is it like?'' |
6443 | What is there in her face that could melt into a woman''s compassion and pity? |
6443 | What man cruel enough to kill this beautiful, harmless swan can have found his way here, where none can come who is not chosen by the Grail? |
6443 | What right had he to expect anything when he meant to give nothing? |
6443 | What shall he do now? |
6443 | What shall he do? |
6443 | Where are his thoughts now? |
6443 | Where is he? |
6443 | Where is he?" |
6443 | Where is the sweetness of a woman''s lips? |
6443 | Who is he that has done it? |
6443 | Who is the strongest of heroes whom the Father of the Gods loves?'' |
6443 | Why should any woman love him when there were so many others for her to love? |
6443 | Why should her coming bring him hope? |
6443 | Why should they love such men as these and never him? |
6443 | Will it not be good for her to remember Brünnhilde''s fearless truth, Senta''s sacrifice, Elizabeth''s constancy? |
6443 | Will she give up the ring? |
6443 | Will she help the gods to find the rest that they long for? |
6443 | Will their great father let the Goddess of Love be taken from them again, and must they all grow old and die, that he may keep this ring? |
6443 | With her to help him, what can he not do? |
6443 | Would he find and help her in her greatest need, like Lohengrin? |
6443 | Would he only love her and sing a song for her, like Walter? |
6443 | Would he seek her out and come to her like Siegfried, through struggles and through fire? |
6443 | Yet where is the tenderness that one would seek in a woman''s eyes? |
6443 | You can puff yourself up like a dragon, of course, but can you make yourself small as easily? |
6443 | he answers;''no, what is fear? |
6443 | who''s attending to the fire? |
6443 | you know the name of it-- that the other gods used to eat?" |
16250 | Ah, where, mother, hast given thy might that commands the wave and the tempest? |
16250 | Am I in Cornwall? |
16250 | Am I not duped? |
16250 | And shall not its dawn be dreaded by us? |
16250 | And where must I then follow? |
16250 | Are these thine eyes? |
16250 | Are they balmy beauteous billows? |
16250 | Art thou mine? |
16250 | Art thou then dead? |
16250 | Away, and watch for her, foolish I see so well and plainly, let not thine eye seek vainly Dost thou not hear? |
16250 | Behind the reef? |
16250 | Being so careful, my lord Tristan, another custom can you not learn? |
16250 | Betrayed am I then? |
16250 | Betrayed e''en here? |
16250 | Betrays he me? |
16250 | Brighter growing, o''er me flowing, are these breezes airy pillows? |
16250 | But now attempt thy fate to foretell me? |
16250 | But tell me truly, trusty friend, why languishes our lord? |
16250 | But the Day must dawn and rouse thee? |
16250 | But when you bade him hither? |
16250 | Can I bear it now? |
16250 | Can I bear to lie couched here in quiet? |
16250 | Can I believe it? |
16250 | Can I not heal it? |
16250 | Canst thou not see her? |
16250 | Comes no relief for my load of grief? |
16250 | Dare you to flout me?-- Was he not my betrothed, that noble Irish knight? |
16250 | Deprived by Tristan of this our solitary, swiftly fleeting, final earthly joy?-- His wound, though-- where? |
16250 | Do I behold thee? |
16250 | Do I embrace thee? |
16250 | Does he still sleep? |
16250 | Dost thou not hear? |
16250 | Dost thou not see? |
16250 | Dost thou see her now? |
16250 | Dost thou see? |
16250 | Extolled by ev''ry nation, his happy country''s pride, The hero of creation,-- whose fame so high and wide? |
16250 | For Tristan''s sake contrived was this scheme by means of Melot, in truth: now would you decry his friendship? |
16250 | Friendship wilt thou still deny? |
16250 | Full of grace and loving mildness, floating o''er the ocean''s wildness? |
16250 | Go ask himself, our gracious host, dare he approach my side? |
16250 | Ha!--who is speaking? |
16250 | Hast not a word to offer? |
16250 | Hast thou preserved them? |
16250 | Have I herds, then? |
16250 | Have I repulsed thee? |
16250 | Have I then lost thee? |
16250 | He serves Isolda better than you his hand gives help which yours denies: what need of such delay? |
16250 | Hear and feel ye not? |
16250 | Heard I not ev''ry sentence? |
16250 | Here I remain: heard you not? |
16250 | Here thy hand? |
16250 | Here thy heart? |
16250 | How came I here? |
16250 | How came you so wrong- minded and by mere fancy blinded? |
16250 | How can I support such anguish? |
16250 | How could Isold''from this world be free, which only holds Isolda for me? |
16250 | How fair, how sweet art thou!-- And Kurvenal, why!-- what ails thy sight? |
16250 | How now? |
16250 | Howe''er can Tristan thank thee? |
16250 | I staked my head thereon: How is the pledge redeemed? |
16250 | If I unheeding left the helm, how might I pilot her ship in surety to King Mark? |
16250 | If he awoke it would be but for evermore to leave us, unless we find the lady- leech; alone can she give help.-- See''st thou nought? |
16250 | If horns yet brayed, how could I hear that? |
16250 | If wife he''d make thee unto King Mark why wert thou in this wise complaining? |
16250 | In Morold''s lifetime dared any have dreamed to offer us such an insult? |
16250 | In haste to we d thee to my hero with flying sails I followed thy track: but howe''er can happiness o''ertake the swift course of woe? |
16250 | Is he Melot''s ally? |
16250 | Is he not Tristan''s trustiest friend? |
16250 | Is he not worth thy gaining? |
16250 | Is it I alone am hearing strains so tender and endearing? |
16250 | Is it no dream? |
16250 | Is it thy own self? |
16250 | Is she with travel worn? |
16250 | Is''t I?--Is''t thou, held in my arms? |
16250 | Kareol''tis; dost thou not know thy fathers''halls? |
16250 | Kurvenal!--thou? |
16250 | Kurvenal, dost thou not see? |
16250 | Liv''st thou not? |
16250 | Lost are thy senses? |
16250 | Love''s goddess dost thou not know? |
16250 | May I an answer make her? |
16250 | May thus the Day''s evil threats be defied? |
16250 | Mean you Sir Melot? |
16250 | Mean you Sir Tristan, lady mine? |
16250 | Mindest thou not my mother''s arts? |
16250 | Mindest thou not thy mother''s arts? |
16250 | Mindst thou that? |
16250 | Must I be wailing at his side, who, in rapture coming to seek him, fearless sailed o''er the sea? |
16250 | Must I live, then? |
16250 | Must I waken? |
16250 | Must honor, fame, power and might, must all thy noble service done be paid with Mark''s dishonor? |
16250 | Must not daylight dawn, and rouse me? |
16250 | Must thou ever wake my woe? |
16250 | Must thy light be burning ever, e''en by night our hearts to sever? |
16250 | My lov''d one hides in darkness unseen: wouldst thou hold from my side my dearest? |
16250 | No ship yet on the sea? |
16250 | Now dost thou see her? |
16250 | Now say to me, my sov''reign, was my impeachment just? |
16250 | Now, wilt thou obey? |
16250 | O sweetest, highest, fairest, strongest, holiest bliss? |
16250 | O why, Isolda, Why this to me? |
16250 | Of royal race and mild of mood, who passes King Mark in might and power? |
16250 | On what account? |
16250 | Say, must our sails be weighted, filled by thy sighs unbated? |
16250 | Say, where sail we? |
16250 | Say, wilt suffer such scorn? |
16250 | See you not how his heart with lion zest, calmly happy beats in his breast? |
16250 | See''st thou Isolda? |
16250 | See''st thou herself? |
16250 | See, oh comrades, see you not how he beameth ever brighter-- how he rises ever radiant steeped in starlight, borne above? |
16250 | Seemed the reward too slight and scant that what thou hast won him-- realms and riches-- thou art the heir unto, all? |
16250 | Seemeth my saying obscure to you? |
16250 | Shall I beseech him to attend thee? |
16250 | Shall I breathe them? |
16250 | Shall I listen? |
16250 | Shall I listen? |
16250 | Shall I sip them, dive within them, to my panting breathing win them? |
16250 | Silent art keeping while I am weeping? |
16250 | Sir Tristan gives thee Cornwall''s kingdom; then, were he erst thy debtor, how could he reward thee better? |
16250 | TRISTAN(_ drawing his sword and turning quickly round_) Who''s he will set his life against mine? |
16250 | The buckler Tristan once did don, where is that shield of virtue now? |
16250 | The draught-- for whom? |
16250 | The draught? |
16250 | The guest I sometime helped to nurse--? |
16250 | The pennon? |
16250 | The queen who grants unquailing hearts, the witch whose will the world obeys, life and death she holds in her hands, which of joy and woe are wove? |
16250 | The rapture of night O let us feel it? |
16250 | The ship-- is''t yet in sight? |
16250 | The ship? |
16250 | The tune so well known-- why wake to that? |
16250 | The unexplained, unpenetrated cause of all these woes, who will to us disclose? |
16250 | The wind so wild blows homewards now; my Irish child, where waitest thou? |
16250 | There, that hero who from mine eyes averts his own: in shrinking shame my gaze he shuns-- Say, how hold you him? |
16250 | These thy lips? |
16250 | Think you that she who''d mastered those would have sent me o''er the sea, without assistance for thee? |
16250 | Think you that she who''d mastered those would have sent thee o''er the sea without assistance for me? |
16250 | Think''st highly of yon minion? |
16250 | This my fathers''? |
16250 | Those dangerous breakers ships have oft shattered.-- Who steereth the helm? |
16250 | Those whom thou holdest, lapped in delight, how could e''en the boldest unmoved endure thy flight? |
16250 | Thou hear''st the cry? |
16250 | Thy wound was heavy: how to heal it? |
16250 | Thy-- act? |
16250 | Together, at least, let fade life''s enfeebled fire!-- How lifeless his look!-- still his heart!-- Dared he to deal me Buch a smart? |
16250 | Tristan traitor, what hope stayeth that the honor he betrayeth should by Melot''s rede rest to me indeed? |
16250 | Tristan, is warfare ended? |
16250 | Tristan, my master, why mock me thus? |
16250 | Tristan, to me? |
16250 | Tristan, where art thou? |
16250 | Tristan? |
16250 | Trust I my wits? |
16250 | What are those cries? |
16250 | What awoke me? |
16250 | What foreign land? |
16250 | What hast thou sworn? |
16250 | What is''t, Brangæna? |
16250 | What king mean you? |
16250 | What land? |
16250 | What mean you, mistress? |
16250 | What meanest thou? |
16250 | What moves me to fear him makes thee his friend then? |
16250 | What now? |
16250 | What of the boat so bare and frail, that floated by our shore? |
16250 | What of the broken stricken man, feebly extended there? |
16250 | What secret dost thou hide? |
16250 | What troubled dream Of Isolda''s shame? |
16250 | What troubled dream of Tristan''s honor? |
16250 | What want you here? |
16250 | What was that draught? |
16250 | What wight dares insult me? |
16250 | What would my lady? |
16250 | What wouldst thou wish to reply? |
16250 | What''s this, my lady? |
16250 | When will the house repose? |
16250 | When wilt thou-- when, ah, when-- let the torchlight dwindle, that so my bliss may kindle? |
16250 | Where Tristan now is going, wilt thou, Isolda, follow? |
16250 | Where am I? |
16250 | Where are we? |
16250 | Where art thou? |
16250 | Where is Isolda? |
16250 | Where lives there a man would not love thee? |
16250 | Where now are faith and friendship fair, when from the fount of faith, my Tristan, they are gone? |
16250 | Where now has truth fled, if Tristan can betray? |
16250 | Where-- was I?-- Where-- am I? |
16250 | While knowing not what my demand is, wert thou afraid still to fulfil it, fleeing my presence thus? |
16250 | Who comes? |
16250 | Who could see Isolda And not sink at once into bondage blest? |
16250 | Who is my foe? |
16250 | Who-- calls me? |
16250 | Whom mean''st thou? |
16250 | Why could I not see this? |
16250 | Why endure disgrace unhealed by tears or grief? |
16250 | Why hast thou noble service done, and honor, fame and potent might amassed for Mark, thy king? |
16250 | Why in hell must I bide, without hope of a heaven? |
16250 | Wilt thou be true? |
16250 | Wilt thou be true? |
16250 | Wilt thou not heed? |
16250 | With foes do you come? |
16250 | Wouldst thou flee? |
16250 | Yet do you hear? |
16250 | deeming that horns thou hearest? |
16250 | hails me the light? |
16250 | how you came? |
16250 | if their friendship all men do sell thee, what foe can seek to fell thee? |
16250 | living? |
16250 | loveless thou? |
16250 | nor all her magic arts? |
16250 | of Tristan? |
16250 | the pennon? |
16250 | truest of friends, must thou again be to thy king a traitor? |
16250 | what mean''st thou? |
16250 | when from my friends it flies, and Tristan''s honor dies? |
16250 | why should I shun that land by which the world is spann''d? |
4972 | Are you not coming sometime to St. Petersburg,said I to George Sand in the most polite tone,"where you are so much read, so highly admired?" |
4972 | But Mendelssohn,the reader will say,"surely Chopin must have admired and felt in sympathy with this sweet- voiced, well- mannered musician?" |
4972 | Do you believe? |
4972 | Do you practise when the day of the concert approaches? |
4972 | Doctor, would you take it amiss if I were to force your wife to do it? |
4972 | How is''gravity''to clothe itself, if''jest''goes about in dark veils? |
4972 | Not even George Sand then,she asked,"is a particular friend?" |
4972 | Welcomed there in a very friendly manner, people asked me when I was introduced:''You are, I suppose, a brother of the pianist?'' 4972 Well,"replied Balzac,"what shall I do? |
4972 | What do you read then? 4972 What do you say to it?" |
4972 | What do you wish? 4972 Who is near me?" |
4972 | Why do you play less well to- day? |
4972 | Why? 4972 You see,"said the virtuoso rising,"that Liszt can be Chopin when he likes; but could Chopin be Liszt?" |
4972 | You think so? |
4972 | ''And my duty?'' |
4972 | ( 1824?) |
4972 | ( Bright sunshine? |
4972 | --"25,000 francs? |
4972 | --"Do you believe as your mother taught you?" |
4972 | 20? |
4972 | 57. published in May, 1845, or, lastly, is it simply a misprint?] |
4972 | After the Andante the queen whispered to a lady- in- waiting:"Would it not be indiscreet to ask them to play it again?" |
4972 | And George Sand? |
4972 | And how did he play them? |
4972 | And my servant, what is he doing? |
4972 | And the health of Madame Franchomme and of the little children? |
4972 | And was this expression of his inner life really"mysterious and vague"? |
4972 | And what did the national poet dream and see in these dreams and visions? |
4972 | And why did Chopin regard Mozart as the ideal type, the poet par excellence? |
4972 | And, lastly, who are the pianist friends that were as devotedly attached to him as the most romantic of his aristocratic worshippers? |
4972 | Are the roses at home still in their flame- hued pride? |
4972 | Are we not now comrades? |
4972 | Are you comfortable? |
4972 | As soon as she appeared with her two charming daughters[ daughter and cousin? |
4972 | As to the portier, he very likely tells lies, but who will prove it? |
4972 | At a round table sat the queen with an elegant work- basket before her( perhaps to embroider a purse for me? |
4972 | But are not Beethoven''s scherzos, too, misnamed? |
4972 | But how did the composer himself describe it? |
4972 | But how does the matter stand when there is genius on both sides, and self- sacrifice of either party entails loss to the world? |
4972 | But how many years before this visit was it composed? |
4972 | But is she really a woman? |
4972 | But outsiders ask: How is it, then, that so great a virtuoso has not trained players who have made the world ring with their fame? |
4972 | But supposing Chopin and George Sand to have really met at the Marquis de Custine''s, was this their first meeting? |
4972 | But what is the use of carping at a name? |
4972 | But what is this( the four bars before the tempo I.)? |
4972 | But what shall I do? |
4972 | But who would expect religious adherence to fact from Heine, who at all times distinguishes himself rather by wit than conscientiousness? |
4972 | But why do you not write a word about yourself? |
4972 | But, then, how could Chopin have composed on that occasion a Prelude included in a work the manuscript of which he sent away on the lath? |
4972 | Chopin to Gutmann; Calder House, October 16, 1848( twelve miles from Edinburgh):-- Very dear friend,--What are you doing? |
4972 | Chopin when applied to for his signature wrote:"La lettre venant des Allemands, comment voulez- vous que je m''arroge le droit de la signer?" |
4972 | Could it possibly be Loch Lomond? |
4972 | Could she not select something better than just this etude, the least interesting for those who do not know that it is written for the black keys? |
4972 | Dark clouds?) |
4972 | Did Dib dance in last night''s pantomime? |
4972 | Did I happen to lend you Witwicki''s songs? |
4972 | Did Miss Wieck play my Etude well? |
4972 | Did fame and publications travel so slowly in the earlier part of the century? |
4972 | Did not Chopin himself say to Hiller that he wished to be to his countrymen what Uhland was to the Germans? |
4972 | Did you prepay when you sent them the letter? |
4972 | Did you prepay? |
4972 | Do the trees still sing as beautifully in the moonlight? |
4972 | Do we not hear-- yea, and see too-- a high- spirited chivalry approaching and passing? |
4972 | Do you board at the club? |
4972 | Do you know how much Wessel paid him for them? |
4972 | Do you not know that the hour for working has come?" |
4972 | Does he agree to the transaction I proposed to him? |
4972 | Does it not rather suggest a Titan in commotion? |
4972 | Does the white- bearded sea- god still persecute her with his foolish, stale love? |
4972 | Est- ce un chien qui vient d''aboyer?] |
4972 | Gutmann asked what he intended to do? |
4972 | Gutmann tells us that he had an early opportunity of making these observations, for Chopin visited his pupil the very day after his arrival(? |
4972 | Had Chopin or her brother, or both, to do with this paroxysm of despair? |
4972 | Had Chopin, when he left Paris, really in view the possibility of settling in London? |
4972 | Had genius to wait so long for recognition? |
4972 | Has a dog been barking?" |
4972 | He ought to give me 300 francs for it, n''est- ce pas? |
4972 | He was there, he was present at the triumph of his pupil, the anxious audience asked itself:"Shall we hear him?" |
4972 | Heaven be thanked, they are all well; but why are they concerned about me? |
4972 | Hereupon Rollinat asked him naively:--"Well, why, then, do you not set about it at once?" |
4972 | How are you and your wife and the dear children? |
4972 | How are your people, your country, your art? |
4972 | How are your people? |
4972 | How many days( between August 23 and September 7?) |
4972 | How should I receive this precious soul so as to give it to God? |
4972 | I saw Chopin every day; how, then, could I remain ignorant of it?" |
4972 | I was with Chopin at the time the letter arrived, and he said to me,"They have only me, and should I close my door upon them? |
4972 | In what state of mind are you? |
4972 | Is Madame de Lauvergeat also at the sea- side? |
4972 | Is it not possible that Chopin may have afterwards substituted the new Prelude for one of those already forwarded to France? |
4972 | Is there not something pleonastic in the title"Fantaisie- Impromptu?" |
4972 | Is this not like a shriek of despair? |
4972 | It was evident that the money given to the portiere had not arrived at its destination; but how to be assured of this? |
4972 | Keep your millions for me till another time-- is it not already too much to dispose of your time as I do? |
4972 | Let him know that I have six new manuscripts, for which I want 300 francs each( how many pounds is that?). |
4972 | Looked at from the musician''s point of view, how much do we not see that is novel and strange, and beautiful and fascinating withal? |
4972 | No? |
4972 | Now, how are you? |
4972 | Now, what remains of this statement after subtracting prejudices and narrow- mindedness? |
4972 | Now, what thoughts did Chopin''s playing call up in Heine? |
4972 | On what floor, and how much do you pay? |
4972 | Or are you so lazy? |
4972 | Or must we assume that the man Moscheles was less congenial to Chopin than the artist? |
4972 | Perhaps to pay his debts? |
4972 | Seeing that so many of Chopin''s letters have been published with wrong dates, why not also that of January 12? |
4972 | Shall I tell you how well founded this disgust was? |
4972 | That is why I write you such a foolish letter, is it? |
4972 | The air? |
4972 | The latter came with an old friend, a Russian Capellmeister[ Soliva?]. |
4972 | The tender commencement of the second part is followed, as it were, by the several times repeated questions-- Yes? |
4972 | They expected also to see me, in full dress, in the very middle of the choir; what not? |
4972 | This is also the place to dispose of the question: What was done with Chopin''s MSS.? |
4972 | To take liberties with another artist''s works and complain when another artist takes liberties with your own works is very inconsistent, is it not? |
4972 | Was Chopin a good teacher? |
4972 | Was Solange the chief subject of George Sand''s lamentations? |
4972 | Was his attachment to the composer weaker than his attachment to his cash- box?] |
4972 | Was it written first for the pianoforte and orchestra, as Schumann suspects? |
4972 | Well, did she not come and fulfil her promise, or, at least, take leave of her friend of many years? |
4972 | What Pole does not hate the Jews? |
4972 | What can I do? |
4972 | What had he not always feared on this terrain? |
4972 | What is it to me if Schlesinger makes Probst pay dearer for my manuscripts? |
4972 | What more would I not want if that were your fancy? |
4972 | What name has been more misapplied than that of impromptu? |
4972 | What other work of the composer could be pointed out exhibiting the like feature? |
4972 | What shall I say? |
4972 | What shall you do with my papers? |
4972 | What was to be done? |
4972 | Where are they? |
4972 | While thus controverting the so- called vox Dei( are not popular opinions generally popular prejudices?) |
4972 | Who can sound the sufferings proceeding from this contrast? |
4972 | Who could retain everything? |
4972 | Who sent them to me? |
4972 | Who would suspect the composer''s fragility and sickliness in this work? |
4972 | Why did he keep it in his portfolio? |
4972 | Why have I not expressed an opinion on the moral aspect of Chopin''s connection with George Sand? |
4972 | Why should he write? |
4972 | With what do you occupy yourself generally?" |
4972 | Would it be an honest action? |
4972 | Would it not have been possible to live in retirement without drawing upon himself the accusation of supercilious hauteur? |
4972 | Would the praise which is generally lavished upon her have been so enthusiastic if the lady had been a professional pianist instead of a princess? |
4972 | You begin at last to become more tranquil,[ FOOTNOTE: This, I think, refers to some loss Franchomme had sustained in his family] do you not? |
4972 | You have read the German letters, sealed them, and done everything I asked you, have you not? |
4972 | [ 1827?] |
4972 | [ Qu''est- ce? |
4972 | a pupil of Liszt''s, an artist?" |
4972 | and Madame Franchomme and her dear children? |
4972 | and these 25,000 francs which were sent you lately?" |
4972 | and what follows, bewildered efforts of a soul shut in by a wall of circumstances through which it strives in vain to break? |
4972 | and what had become of it? |
4972 | at last sinking down with fatigue, dreaming a dream of idyllic beauty? |
4972 | but beginning the struggle again as soon as its strength is recruited? |
4972 | replied Chopin, with a drawl, but in the politest tone,"what do you want me for then? |
45806 | Catherine que j''adore, Pourquoi refuser A l''amant qui vous implore Un si doux baiser?... |
45806 | Vous qui faites l''endormie, N''entendez- vous pas, O Catherine, ma mie, Ma voix et mes pas...? |
45806 | Will you not permit me, my fairest demoiselle, To offer you my arm, and clear for you the way? |
45806 | --Ne permettez- vous pas, ma belle demoiselle, Qu''on vous offre le bras pour faire le chemin?" |
45806 | A moi leurs désirs? |
45806 | A qui de vous dois- je demander compte De mon malheur et de ma honte?... |
45806 | Abundance of gold? |
45806 | Ah, Siebel, is it thou? |
45806 | Allow me to offer you some from my cellar? |
45806 | And Marguerite? |
45806 | Are they wither''d? |
45806 | Are you afraid of me? |
45806 | Are you, then, Martha Schwerlein? |
45806 | Avant d''écouter, Pourquoi vous hâter De vous mettre en route? |
45806 | But come, Doctor Faust, what is your will? |
45806 | But this God, what will he do for me? |
45806 | But what is this? |
45806 | C''est ici? |
45806 | C''est là que cette enfant a grandi sous ton aile, A dormi sous tes yeux? |
45806 | Can I be dreaming? |
45806 | Can the accursed wizard''s words be true? |
45806 | Comment m''y prendre? |
45806 | D''où ce riche coffret peut- il venir?... |
45806 | Dame Marthe Schwerlein? |
45806 | Dare I to take his life, Who but resents an outrage? |
45806 | Darest thou live, ingrate? |
45806 | Darest thou still exist? |
45806 | Dieu ne m''a t''il pas Conduit sur ta route?... |
45806 | Do ye not like my singing? |
45806 | Dois- je verser le sang Du frère que j''outrage?... |
45806 | Eh bien? |
45806 | Elles se fanent?... |
45806 | Est- ce de plaisir et d''amour Que la feuille tremble et palpite?... |
45806 | Est- ce déjà l''heure du châtiment? |
45806 | Est- ce toi, Marguerite? |
45806 | Est- ce toi, Marguerite? |
45806 | Et Marguerite? |
45806 | Fain would I his birth And station also know? |
45806 | Fain would I know the name Of the fair youth I met? |
45806 | Faut- il attester Qu''on voudrait rester Quand on vous écoute? |
45806 | Faut- il qu''une fille á danser Vous invite? |
45806 | From which of ye must I demand Satisfaction for this foul outrage? |
45806 | From whom did this splendid casket come? |
45806 | Hear''st thou their call? |
45806 | How knew you her name? |
45806 | I laugh, as I pass, to look into a glass; Is it truly Marguerite, then? |
45806 | I laugh, as I pass, to look into a glass; Is it truly Marguerite, then? |
45806 | I. Maiden, now in peace reposing, From thy sleep awake, Hear my voice with love imploring, Wilt thou pity take? |
45806 | Is it you? |
45806 | Is it you? |
45806 | Je voudrais bien savoir quel était ce jeune homme, Si c''est un grand seigneur, et comment il se nomme? |
45806 | Know''st thou not How happy''tis to love? |
45806 | Me rendra- t''il l''amour, l''espérance et la foi? |
45806 | Mon bouquet n''est- il pas charmant? |
45806 | My bouquet is charming indeed? |
45806 | Ne permettrez- vous pas, ma belle demoiselle, Qu''on vous offre le bras pour faire le chemin? |
45806 | Ne suis- je pas mis à ta guise? |
45806 | Ne veux- tu pas Aux plus belles D''entre elles Offrir ton bras? |
45806 | Nous ferez vous l''honneur de trinquer avec nous? |
45806 | O coupe des aïeux, qui tant fois fus pleine, Pourquoi trembles- tu dans ma main?... |
45806 | O goblet, which my ancestors So many times have filled, Why tremblest thou in my grasp? |
45806 | O mort, quand viendras- tu m''abriter sous ton aile? |
45806 | Of what now are you thinking? |
45806 | Or am I really awake? |
45806 | Or was''t mere witchcraft? |
45806 | Parle, voyons!...--Te fais- je peur? |
45806 | Plait- il? |
45806 | Pour fêter l''infâme idole, Peuples et rois confondus, Au bruit sombre des écus Dansent une ronde folle Autour de son piédestal?... |
45806 | Pourquoi donc quitter ces bijoux? |
45806 | Pray seek you a partner to join in the dance? |
45806 | Qu''as- tu donc? |
45806 | Qu''attendez- vous de moi? |
45806 | Que faut- il pour te décider? |
45806 | Que me veux- tu?... |
45806 | Que ne serait heureux d''échanger avec vous La bague d''hyménée? |
45806 | Que vois- je là? |
45806 | Quelle mouche vous pique? |
45806 | Qui de vous deux doit tomber sous mes coups?... |
45806 | Qui vous a dit son nom? |
45806 | Religieux._ Que dirai- je alors au Seigneur? |
45806 | Say, Doctor, what would you of me? |
45806 | See you this line? |
45806 | Sent he nothing else to me? |
45806 | Si je trempais mes doigts dans l''eau bénite?... |
45806 | Since death thus evades me, Why should I not go in search of him? |
45806 | So, I surprise you? |
45806 | Tell me, I pray, are you Martha Schwerlein? |
45806 | Tu veux la gloire? |
45806 | Vous l''aimez encore? |
45806 | Vous n''aimez donc pas la musique? |
45806 | Vous voyez cette ligne? |
45806 | Vous voyez qu''elle a fait bel accueil aux bijoux? |
45806 | What is it? |
45806 | What say you? |
45806 | What utters she in tones subdued? |
45806 | What''s to be done? |
45806 | What, here again, dear boy? |
45806 | Whence this dire trepidation? |
45806 | Wherefore lay aside these jewels? |
45806 | Which of ye must I now slay? |
45806 | Who gave to you these jewels? |
45806 | Who shall protection find When innocence such persecution meets? |
45806 | Who would not gladly unto You present the wedding- ring? |
45806 | Why do you tremble so, you who menace me? |
45806 | Why falters now my courage? |
45806 | Why fear''st thou to listen? |
45806 | Why tarry, then? |
45806 | Why this sorrowful farewell? |
45806 | Why, what has happened? |
45806 | Why, what has happened? |
45806 | Will he return to me youth, love, and faith? |
45806 | Will you honor us by partaking of wine? |
45806 | Will you not ask of them To accept you? |
45806 | Will you not permit me, my fairest demoiselle, To offer you my arm, and clear for you the way? |
45806 | With what shall we begin? |
45806 | Would you kick me out the very same day? |
45806 | You think so? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Ah, cruel one, would''st fly? |
45806 | _ Faust._ And what can I do with riches? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Art always thus alone? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Et que peux- tu pour moi? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Je la reverrai? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Là- bas?... |
45806 | _ Faust._ Où se cache la belle enfant Que ton art m''a fait voir?--Est- ce un vain sortilège? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Qu''est se donc? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Qu''importe? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Quand? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Que ferais- je de la richesse? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Que regardes- tu là? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Say, shall I again behold her? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Siebel? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Then what will you do for me? |
45806 | _ Faust._ What fear is this unnerves my arm? |
45806 | _ Faust._ What is it thou doest? |
45806 | _ Faust._ What is''t she says? |
45806 | _ Faust._ When? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Where bides the beauteous maid Thine art did show to me? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Whom dost thou see? |
45806 | _ Faust._ Would''st thou have me leave thee? |
45806 | _ Faust._ You overheard us? |
45806 | _ Mar._ Pourquoi ce regard menaçant? |
45806 | _ Mar._ Pourquoi ces mains rouges de sang? |
45806 | _ Mar._ Qu''est ce donc? |
45806 | _ Mar._ Qui donc? |
45806 | _ Mar._ Qui m''appelle? |
45806 | _ Mar._ See''st thou yon demon crouching in the shade? |
45806 | _ Mar._ Who calls me? |
45806 | _ Mar._ Whose life? |
45806 | _ Mar._ Why that glance with anger fraught? |
45806 | _ Mar._ Why, what has happened? |
45806 | _ Mart._ Ainsi vous voyagez toujours? |
45806 | _ Mart._ Qui m''appelle? |
45806 | _ Mart._ Why so? |
45806 | _ Mep._ A quoi bon la revoir, après l''avoir quitté? |
45806 | _ Mep._ Dame Marthe Schwerlein, s''il vous plait? |
45806 | _ Mep._ Do you doubt my power? |
45806 | _ Mep._ Doutes- tu ma puissance?... |
45806 | _ Mep._ Pourquoi trembler, vous qui me menacez? |
45806 | _ Mep._ Qu''attendez- vous encore? |
45806 | _ Mep._ Tout.--Mais dis- moi d''abord Ce que tu veux;--est- ce de l''or? |
45806 | _ Mep._ Well, how do you like it? |
45806 | _ Mep._ What scruple now assails thee? |
45806 | _ Mep._ Why see her again, then, after leaving her? |
45806 | _ Mep._ Why tarry ye? |
45806 | _ Mep._( to VALENTINE) Why this anger? |
45806 | _ Religious Cho._ What shall we say unto high heav''n? |
45806 | _ Sie._ Dost love him still, then? |
45806 | _ Sie._ Faut- il que je le nomme? |
45806 | _ Sie._ I? |
45806 | _ Sie._ Need I name him? |
45806 | _ Sie._ Vous êtes donc sorcier? |
45806 | _ Val._ Good sir, what want you here? |
45806 | _ Val._ Pourquoi?...--tu détournes la tête? |
45806 | _ Val._ Que veux- tu dire? |
45806 | _ Val._ Que voulez- vous, messieurs? |
45806 | _ Val._ What mean''st thou? |
45806 | _ Val._ Why not, I pray?--Thou turn''st away; Thy silent glance doth seek the ground-- Speak, Siebel-- what hath happened? |
45806 | _ Wag._ Eh bien? |
45806 | _ Wag._ Hein? |
45806 | _ Wag._ Qu''as- tu donc?... |
45806 | _ Wag._ What sayst thou? |
45806 | at the bottom of the casket is a glass: I there can see myself!-- But am I not becoming vain? |
45806 | but what must I give in return? |
45806 | comme vous voilà belle, Mon ange!...--D''où vous vient ce riche écrin? |
45806 | comment N''être pas coquette? |
45806 | comprends- tu ce mot sublime et doux?... |
45806 | d''écouter?... |
45806 | daignez m''attendre ici? |
45806 | does thy hand tremble? |
45806 | je puis contenter ton caprice_ Faust._ Et que te donnerai- je en retour? |
45806 | le démon!--Le vois- tu?... |
45806 | leave we this spot, The dawn hath appeared; Hear''st thou not the fiery chargers, As with sonorous hoof they paw the ground? |
45806 | of Maidens._ Why thy eyes so lustrous Hidest thou from sight? |
45806 | par où commencerai- je? |
45806 | puisque la mort me fuit, Pourquoi n''irais- je pas vers elle?... |
45806 | que t''ensemble? |
45806 | quelle est cette voix qui me parle dans l''ombre? |
45806 | quels regrets attristent nos adieux? |
45806 | see''st thou not my grief? |
45806 | taisez- vous?... |
45806 | toujours seule?... |
45806 | what can I do? |
45806 | what is''t I see? |
45806 | what voice is this That in the shade doth speak to me? |
45806 | when will thy dusky wings Above me hover and give me-- rest? |
48214 | ALBERICH Do I spoil sport By standing and gazing here? |
48214 | ALBERICH Dost thou believe I lie, as would Loge? |
48214 | ALBERICH Has the gold no value Apart from your games? |
48214 | ALBERICH How capture this coy, Elusive fish? |
48214 | ALBERICH Seest thou the hoard Yonder heaped High by my host? |
48214 | ALBERICH Then why this delay To show thy work? |
48214 | ALBERICH What is there to finish? |
48214 | ALBERICH What says he? |
48214 | ALBERICH[_ Horrified._ The ring? |
48214 | ALBERICH[_ Raising himself with furious laughter._ Am I now free, Free in truth? |
48214 | ALBERICH[_ Reaching the topwith a last spring._ Still undismayed? |
48214 | ALBERICH[_ Starting in alarm._ Wretches, dare ye thus scoff? |
48214 | ALBERICH[_ Turning round._ What? |
48214 | Ah, can it be so? |
48214 | Ah, have I lost her? |
48214 | All stand in dismay and apprehension regarding Wotan, whose eyes are fixed broodingly on the ground._ LOGE Does a mist mock me? |
48214 | And why frets Fricka? |
48214 | Are the others all there? |
48214 | Art thou content? |
48214 | Art thou still here, Fervently loved one, Beautiful brother? |
48214 | As if coming out of a deep reverie, he at last begins, very softly._ What if, when uttered, Weaker it made The controlling might of my will? |
48214 | BRÜNNHILDE All that thou gavest Thou dost recall? |
48214 | BRÜNNHILDE And what is the doom That I must suffer? |
48214 | BRÜNNHILDE I know thee not thus: What gnaws at thy heart? |
48214 | BRÜNNHILDE Of victory wouldst Siegmund deprive? |
48214 | BRÜNNHILDE Which of you, sisters, Eastward has journeyed? |
48214 | BRÜNNHILDE[_ Greatly terrified._ Thou dost cast me off? |
48214 | BRÜNNHILDE[_ Very softly._ To Wotan''s will thou speakest When thou speakest to me? |
48214 | Beckon they not, The stately walls, Waiting to offer Welcome kind to their lord? |
48214 | But say, Loge, How shall I learn To forge and fashion it true? |
48214 | By what misdeed have thy daughters Vexed and provoked thee To terrible wrath? |
48214 | Can he be sick? |
48214 | Can ye not see The gold is all gone? |
48214 | Canst thou deny That thy cunning it was Which led him where it lay hid? |
48214 | Couldest thou turn To something quite tiny As well as bigger? |
48214 | DONNER[_ Confronting the giants._ Fasolt and Fafner, Have ye not felt With what weight my hammer falls? |
48214 | Daunted so soon? |
48214 | Deem ye Holda Worthy of such a price? |
48214 | Didst thou call? |
48214 | Does Wotan now pledge me his oath? |
48214 | Dost thou not hear? |
48214 | Dost thou not hear? |
48214 | Dost thou not hear? |
48214 | Dost thou, child, know my wrath? |
48214 | FAFNER What means thy threat? |
48214 | FASOLT Jeerest thou? |
48214 | FASOLT What wouldst thou here? |
48214 | FASOLT_ Stands for a space speechless with angry surprise._ What is this? |
48214 | FLOSSHILDE What ails thee, dwarf? |
48214 | FLOSSHILDE Who listens below? |
48214 | FREIA Where tarry ye, my brothers, When help ye should bring me, Weak and bartered away by my kin? |
48214 | FRICKA Ah, dare I hope it? |
48214 | FRICKA Can such be thy thought, Merciless man? |
48214 | FRICKA Thou wilt grant him no aid, When to arms the avenger calls? |
48214 | FRICKA To this tricky deceiver O why wilt thou trust? |
48214 | FRICKA What means the name Valhall? |
48214 | FRICKA Who breathed their souls into men? |
48214 | FRICKA[_ Anxiously to Wotan._ Dost bring joyful tidings? |
48214 | FRICKA[_ Caressing and coaxing him._ Why linger, Wotan? |
48214 | FRICKA[_ Softly to Loge._ Could this gaud, This gleaming trinket Forged from the gold, Be worn by a woman too? |
48214 | FRICKA[_ With a burst of deep indignation._ Then nothing to thee Are the gods everlasting Since the wild Wälsungs Won thee for father? |
48214 | Faint- hearted wooer, Why couldst not hold The maid, when won, more fast? |
48214 | Faints he from weariness? |
48214 | Father, what news Hast thou to tell me? |
48214 | Find thou a sweetheart Fonder than I? |
48214 | Floutest thou me? |
48214 | Flying from him? |
48214 | Fool, dost now see the trick? |
48214 | For love art thou pining? |
48214 | Froh and Fricka throw themselves in his way and prevent him._ FRICKA What meanest thou, madman? |
48214 | From off the field Who bade thee thus bear me? |
48214 | GERHILDE Where found she the maid? |
48214 | Give my ring? |
48214 | Gossiping art With the pilgriming pair? |
48214 | HUNDING Hast succoured him? |
48214 | Hast thou forgot so soon? |
48214 | Hast thou not heard That one alone Can hope to fashion the gold? |
48214 | Have ye enough now? |
48214 | Hearest, Brünnhilde? |
48214 | Hearing my voice thus accusing, Dost hide from me in terror, A coward who shirks her doom? |
48214 | Heedless one, hast thou forgotten The price that was to be paid? |
48214 | How could that be Thine which reft was, Thou rogue, from watery deeps? |
48214 | How far hast thou ranged and roamed? |
48214 | How fashion the free one By me unshielded, In his proud defiance Most precious to me? |
48214 | How get me the other Who, not through me, But of himself Will perform my will? |
48214 | How keepest thou watch? |
48214 | How small shall I be? |
48214 | I speak plainly-- Is that thy thought? |
48214 | If love be beyond me My cunning could compass delight? |
48214 | In caverns cold Where once thou didst crouch, Who gave thee light And fire for thy comfort, Had Loge not smiled on thee? |
48214 | In parlous plight myself, What help have I for others? |
48214 | Is he in sight? |
48214 | Is it the look That lingered behind, Yonder clinging, When forth from the hall The lovely woman went? |
48214 | Is this your valour, Given by me? |
48214 | LOGE And wherefore, wise one, Sped not the plan? |
48214 | LOGE But, Mime, how has he Thus made thee his thrall? |
48214 | LOGE Even the helm? |
48214 | LOGE Just now, then, an idler Roused him to wrath? |
48214 | LOGE Since I am known, Ignorant elf, Say then, with growling Whom dost thou greet? |
48214 | LOGE The Rhine- daughters Thy aid invoked: Not vainly they hoped for thy help then? |
48214 | LOGE[_ Bends over Mime._ Why all this whimpering noise? |
48214 | LOGE[_ Calling down towards the valley._ Ye in the water, Why wail ye to us? |
48214 | LOGE[_ To Wotan._ Ought I to free him? |
48214 | Lingering there? |
48214 | Live ye on lies Alone, O ye false nixie brood? |
48214 | Loitering still? |
48214 | MIME[_ Embarrassed._ Here-- and there---- ALBERICH How here and there? |
48214 | MIME[_ Looks round in amaze._ Where art thou? |
48214 | MIME[_ Observes the Gods more attentively._ Who are you, ye strangers That ask all these questions? |
48214 | Mark ye my word? |
48214 | May I ask of my guest In return to tell me his name? |
48214 | Measure must thou? |
48214 | Must I aid, idlers? |
48214 | Must thou no longer Gallop beside me, Nor bring me mead at banquet? |
48214 | Need ye my urging? |
48214 | ORTLINDE What lies on her saddle? |
48214 | Or what hadst thou fashioned Had not I heated thy forge? |
48214 | Precious only is she? |
48214 | Pursued by Warfather? |
48214 | ROSSWEISSE If we all are assembled Why linger longer? |
48214 | SCHWERTLEITE Has she no greeting For her sisters? |
48214 | SCHWERTLEITE Went ye twain on one quest? |
48214 | SIEGLINDE But tell me further, stranger: Where dwells thy father now? |
48214 | SIEGLINDE Say, whither shall my flight be? |
48214 | SIEGLINDE The name of thy father was Wölfe? |
48214 | SIEGLINDE Who pursues thee so close at thy heels? |
48214 | SIEGMUND In Walhall''s hall Wotan alone shall I find? |
48214 | SIEGMUND Knowest this sword? |
48214 | SIEGMUND What hero to- day Shall hew me down? |
48214 | SIEGMUND''S VOICE[_ From farther back in the gorge._ Where hidest thou, That I have missed thee thus? |
48214 | SIEGMUND[_ Joyfully surprised._ Who steals this way? |
48214 | SIEGMUND[_ Looking up at her._ Who art thou, say, That dost stand so fair and so stern? |
48214 | SIEGMUND[_ Regarding Hunding firmly and calmly._ Drink she gave, Shelter too: Wouldst therefore chide the woman? |
48214 | SIEGMUND[_ Tenderly._ Will any woman Welcome me there? |
48214 | SIEGRUNE Wouldst have us too Madly rebel? |
48214 | Sawest thou Loge? |
48214 | Say, how wouldst thou save thyself then? |
48214 | Sees she with sorrow That Wotan''s hair, growing grey, Has made him gloomy and old? |
48214 | Shall I be Despised by the basest, To the lawless a spur, A scoff to the free? |
48214 | Shall I never more Give thee love''s greeting? |
48214 | Shall the maiden droop And be withered by man? |
48214 | Shall we dive Sheer through the depths of the Rhine? |
48214 | Sieglinde comes out in a white garment and advances softly but quickly towards the hearth._ SIEGLINDE Art asleep? |
48214 | Siegmund, where art thou? |
48214 | Sister embraced As bride by the brother-- Who has ever heard Of brother and sister as lovers? |
48214 | THE THREE RHINE- MAIDENS What wouldst thou below there? |
48214 | THE THREE RHINE- MAIDENS Where dost thou hail from, O churl, Of the Rhinegold not to have heard? |
48214 | THE VALKYRIES What threatens the woman? |
48214 | THE VALKYRIES Whence rodest thou hither, Hasting so hard? |
48214 | THE VALKYRIES[_ Terribly alarmed._ Hast thou gone crazy? |
48214 | Taunts? |
48214 | Tell me what ails thee? |
48214 | Tell me what ails thee? |
48214 | Tell me what ails thee? |
48214 | Tell the truth; Whence was gotten the gold To fashion the glittering gaud? |
48214 | The Valkyries, horror- stricken, recoil from her violently._ Fear ye her fate? |
48214 | The beautiful Goddess Light and bright-- For churls what charm could she have? |
48214 | The horse that is swiftest Which of you lends, That forth the woman may fly? |
48214 | The sister and bride, Shall she follow the brother? |
48214 | The thick mist in the foreground gradually clears away._ LOGE Hadst thou ears For his fond farewell? |
48214 | The third one, so dear, Does she too betray? |
48214 | The work is finished, And forfeit the pledge: Hast thou then no care for the cost? |
48214 | Tricks me a dream? |
48214 | WALTRAUTE[_ Calling towards the wood._ Who hangs at thy saddle? |
48214 | WELLGUNDE Art thou in love? |
48214 | WELLGUNDE He wishes to join us? |
48214 | WELLGUNDE Knows not the elf Of the famed eye golden That wakes and sleeps in turn? |
48214 | WELLGUNDE O prudent sister, Why chide and reproach? |
48214 | WELLGUNDE[_ From above._ Woglinde, watchest alone? |
48214 | WELLGUNDE[_ Sinking down till she is a little nearer him._ Well, now am I near? |
48214 | WOGLINDE Is he in jest? |
48214 | WOGLINDE Of the star resplendent Down in the depths Whose light illumines the waves? |
48214 | WOTAN A golden ring Girdles thy finger: Hearest, elf? |
48214 | WOTAN And yet thou didst dare To shield him, knowing''twas so? |
48214 | WOTAN But what is gained by the hoard In joyless Nibelheim, Where wealth finds nothing to buy? |
48214 | WOTAN But, my friend, how compass that goal? |
48214 | WOTAN By my command Didst thou fight for the Walsung? |
48214 | WOTAN Fools, would ye flout me? |
48214 | WOTAN Have this pair then Done such harm, Whom spring united in love? |
48214 | WOTAN Have ye not heard Wotan''s decree? |
48214 | WOTAN The ring thou claimest as thine? |
48214 | WOTAN The river- maidens? |
48214 | WOTAN The sword? |
48214 | WOTAN Then his own heart''s courage Counts not at all? |
48214 | WOTAN What nonsense is this? |
48214 | WOTAN What wailing sound do I hear? |
48214 | WOTAN What woman woe thus foretells? |
48214 | WOTAN Wilt yield up the hoard? |
48214 | WOTAN[_ Calmly._ From such greed Was Fricka then free Herself when the castle she craved? |
48214 | WOTAN[_ Gloomily._ What then wouldst thou? |
48214 | Was the dishonour Truly so deep That it must rob me of honour for aye? |
48214 | Was what I did So base and so vile That I must suffer abasement so low? |
48214 | We never were idle, So why shouldst thou fear? |
48214 | What a thief stole Steal thou from the thief; How better could object be won? |
48214 | What ails the high, happy Gods? |
48214 | What am I If I am not thy will? |
48214 | What corner, say, Wilt give to me for my stall? |
48214 | What deed by hero Could be accomplished That was beyond the strength of the gods, By whose grace alone he is strong? |
48214 | What does it mean? |
48214 | What has occurred? |
48214 | What keeps thee so long? |
48214 | What payment will appease you? |
48214 | What profit were mine? |
48214 | What remains holy Or precious to men Once grown greedy of might? |
48214 | What she desires Is also my choice, For what does my own will profit, Since it can not fashion a free one? |
48214 | What thy spear wards Are they but sport, All the runes of solemn bargain? |
48214 | What wondrous gift has the gold, That the dwarf desires it so? |
48214 | What? |
48214 | Where are thy wounds? |
48214 | Where is the guilty one? |
48214 | Where is thy sword?-- The trusty sword To be swung in battle, When from my bosom should burst The fury that fills my heart? |
48214 | Who are they That thus intrude? |
48214 | Who art thou-- who but the choiceless, Blind slave of my will? |
48214 | Who beats and bullies thee so? |
48214 | Who entered there? |
48214 | Who is there? |
48214 | Who lies on the ground? |
48214 | Who opened their eyes, that they see? |
48214 | Who soothes and comforts me so? |
48214 | Why did I try To trick myself vainly? |
48214 | Will Siegmund find Sieglinde there? |
48214 | With what I possess not How can I, shameless ones, pay you? |
48214 | Would ye defy me And hide the rebel? |
48214 | Wouldest deceive?-- Go back on thy bond? |
48214 | Wouldst thou deceive me Who, day and night, At thy heels follow close? |
48214 | Wouldst thou not have me Curse thee for flying? |
48214 | Wouldst thou, robber, Reproach in me The sin so sweet to thyself? |
48214 | Ye scoffers, Are ye convinced? |
48214 | [_ After a pause._ Art thou Wehwalt in truth? |
48214 | [_ Beside himself._ While her sweet eyes I behold thus, From the woman how can I part? |
48214 | [_ Coming nearer._ What man came in And lies on the hearth? |
48214 | [_ Gazes before her as if gone crazed._ Where art thou, Siegmund? |
48214 | [_ He bends low over Sieglinde._ BRÜNNHILDE[_ Moved._ So little prizest thou Life everlasting? |
48214 | [_ He puts on the ring._ LOGE[_ To Wotan._ Shall he go free? |
48214 | [_ He puts the Tarnhelm on his head._ The helmet fits the head; But will the spell prosper too? |
48214 | [_ He raises him with difficulty._ MIME What help for me? |
48214 | [_ He vanishes, and a pillar of cloud takes his place._ Brother, canst see me? |
48214 | [_ Howling and shrieking, the Nibelungs, among them Mime, scatter, and creep down into the clefts in all directions._ ALBERICH What seek ye here? |
48214 | [_ Passionately._ Must we be parted? |
48214 | [_ Slowly and with hesitation._ All thy care Is thy helpless wife Who, sad and weary, Heavily hangs in thy arms? |
48214 | [_ The outer door swings open._ SIEGLINDE[_ With a start of alarm tears herself away._ Ha, who went? |
48214 | [_ To Alberich._ Who would gaze not in wonder, Beholding Alberich''s work? |
48214 | hither they stride: Where lingers now thine ally? |
48214 | not yet caught? |
48214 | tell me What task is thy child''s? |
5307 | Comment le dernier? 5307 Do you know whether Mozart has not enough from his family to enable him to remain here with a little assistance? |
5307 | Do you know,said she,"that I mean to be very attentive to- day?" |
5307 | Est- ce que vous etiez au Concert Spirituel? |
5307 | From whom did you learn? |
5307 | How so? 5307 I hope you will stay and dine with us to- day?" |
5307 | I say,rejoined he,"I suppose I may, if need be, leave out the spur?" |
5307 | I? 5307 If I can be of any service to you, I beg"--"Before I leave this I must take the liberty to ask you"--"Not for money?" |
5307 | Is the letter ready? |
5307 | May I then rely on this? |
5307 | Que dites- vous du premier coup d''archet? 5307 So you have finally left Salzburg?" |
5307 | Well, perhaps I may; why not? |
5307 | What air do you mean? |
5307 | What may it have cost? 5307 Why not?" |
5307 | Why? 5307 Yes, but what does that avail when there is no vacancy?" |
5307 | ''Is it possible?'' |
5307 | 68] being made prelate? |
5307 | A long pause; at length,"A propos, are you disposed to write a grand symphony for me for Corpus Christi day?" |
5307 | A propos, Herr Johannes[ Hagenauer], no doubt, received the letter of congratulation which we intended to write to him? |
5307 | A propos, did you give my letter to Robinsiegerl? |
5307 | A propos, how goes on the Archbishop? |
5307 | A propos, how goes on your French? |
5307 | A. propos, what do you mean by DREAMS OF PLEASURE? |
5307 | Already? |
5307 | And the noble Herr Carl von Vogt, does he still deign to listen to your tiresome voices? |
5307 | And why did he say all this? |
5307 | Approposito, do you know the history that occurred here? |
5307 | Are they good likenesses? |
5307 | As I was going into the house I met Madame Niesser, the actress, just coming out, who said,"I suppose you wish to see the Count?" |
5307 | As this important step is finally taken, ought I at this moment to set off? |
5307 | At last he said,"Do you think that she will be able to learn it?" |
5307 | At night I hear perpetual shouts of"Who goes there?" |
5307 | But at last I have the honor to inquire how you are, and how you fare? |
5307 | But how can it be otherwise? |
5307 | But is this genuine music? |
5307 | But what avails any discussion? |
5307 | But where, at present, is even ONE to be found? |
5307 | But why do you write at night, and without spectacles? |
5307 | But your father is still in Salzburg?" |
5307 | By the by, can you recall the name of Freysingen-- the papa of the two pretty girls I mentioned? |
5307 | Can any one be considered a boy who is married? |
5307 | Can this be the kind, worthy Baron Hopfgarten whom we knew at Paris with Herr von Bose? |
5307 | Could such a thing be possible? |
5307 | Count Seeau went by, and greeted me very kindly:"How are you, dear Mozart?" |
5307 | Did he go about on foot in Salzburg, or always drive in a carriage, as he does here? |
5307 | Do people go to see them? |
5307 | Do they give satisfaction? |
5307 | Do you know why I am thinking about the canary? |
5307 | Do you not miss me at all? |
5307 | Do you pay extra for leave to do so? |
5307 | Do you remain here, or go to Mannheim?" |
5307 | Do you understand? |
5307 | Does Herr Deibl often come to see you? |
5307 | Does Herr Feiner play the English horn? |
5307 | Does he still honor you by his amusing conversation? |
5307 | Does he still sing? |
5307 | Fair maiden, say, where have you been, eh?" |
5307 | For Heaven''s sake tell me, do you really think that I can at once fix a day for my journey; or is it your belief that I do n''t mean to come at all? |
5307 | For whom is it to please? |
5307 | From their being short? |
5307 | From their church style? |
5307 | Giovanni Hagenauer da parte mia, che non dubiti, che andro a veder sicuramente in quella bottega delle armi, se ci sono quei nomi[?] |
5307 | Happily this seems equally tedious to himself, so it does not last long; but then, what follows? |
5307 | Has Schikaneder still good receipts? |
5307 | Have I not then sufficient cause to stay here and await the result? |
5307 | Have you any answer yet from our plenipotentiary at Wetzlar? |
5307 | He deigned graciously to remember you, and said,"And pray how have things gone with him?" |
5307 | He is the leader of the choir at St. Peter''s, in Salzburg, and knows you very well; his name is Zendorff; perhaps you may not remember him? |
5307 | He said to me,"I hear you wrote an opera at Munich"["La finta Giardiniera"]? |
5307 | He said,"I must reflect on your wish; how long do you intend to remain here?" |
5307 | He smiled, and said,"I should also like it; but would it not be prejudicial to her to have two masters?" |
5307 | He stared at me for some time, and at last said,"You surely are Herr Mozart?" |
5307 | He took the letter and was about to break the seal instantly, but I gave him no time for that, saying,"What is the use of reading the letter just now? |
5307 | He was asked by a Frenchman, in Munich or elsewhere,--"Monsieur, vous avez ete a Paris?" |
5307 | How can I help the clock choosing at this moment to strike a quarter after seven o''clock? |
5307 | How can you suppose that I would stay here without good cause? |
5307 | How do I like Mannheim? |
5307 | How do the comedians please at Salzburg? |
5307 | How does Probst get on with his wife? |
5307 | How does papa like this idea? |
5307 | How is Miss Bimbles? |
5307 | How is it likely to turn out? |
5307 | I beg you will not think so, for how could I write so beautifully if I were dead? |
5307 | I could not understand this, as wine is usually thought heating; but when I said so, every one exclaimed,"How can you say so? |
5307 | I do not wish to give up dreaming, for what mortal on the whole compass of the earth does not often dream? |
5307 | I have, indeed, suffered and wept, but what did it avail? |
5307 | I hear that the two Barisanis are also coming to Munich; is this true? |
5307 | I hope the affair is not by this time known all over Salzburg? |
5307 | I instantly rejoined,"and I hope things have also gone well with you?" |
5307 | I kiss mamma''s hand, and send you a little note and a little kiss; and remain, as before, your----What? |
5307 | I kiss your hands a thousand times, and have a great deal to say to my sister; but what? |
5307 | I kissed the Elector''s hand, who said,"I think it is now fifteen years since you were here?" |
5307 | I know, and, believe me, deeply feel, how much you deserve rest and peace, but am I the obstacle to this? |
5307 | I only said in reply,"Do you then think, Herr Stein, that I am likely to run wild on the organ?" |
5307 | I really could not help laughing:"What could I do at Mannheim now? |
5307 | I see a number of wretched bunglers who make a livelihood, and why, with my talents, am I to fail? |
5307 | I shall not be found wanting; how can you possibly doubt me? |
5307 | I think I have left my diplomas at home? |
5307 | I took no notice, but said to Le Gros,"A propos, have you given my sinfonie to be copied?" |
5307 | I would have been off long ago, but every one says to me,"Where do you intend to go for the winter? |
5307 | If I am sometimes in your mind? |
5307 | If I engaged an orchestra, it would with the lighting cost me more than three louis- d''or, and who knows whether we shall get as much? |
5307 | If I recollect rightly, there are also some cadenzas which I once jotted down, and at all events an aria cantabile with coloraturas? |
5307 | If to hang yourself you''re inclined? |
5307 | If we do leave this, we shall go straight to-- where? |
5307 | If we soon shall have a talk? |
5307 | If you write with a lump of chalk? |
5307 | If you''re angry with me, poor fool? |
5307 | In my opinion the second is preferable to the first; for when I heard the former, I asked,"Who is that playing on the organ?" |
5307 | In rapid playing the right and left hands may be changed, and no one either see or hear it; but is this good? |
5307 | Is Herr Schikaneder to remain in Salzburg? |
5307 | Is he afraid of losing them? |
5307 | Is it not friendly? |
5307 | Is it not so, Herr Bullinger? |
5307 | Is it possible that I did not tell you this? |
5307 | Is it true that Hagenauer is become a professor of sculpture in Vienna? |
5307 | Is it true that the Archbishop intends to come to Munich? |
5307 | Is it true that the Emperor is ill? |
5307 | Is my sister''s begun yet? |
5307 | Is not that dear? |
5307 | Is there no ass- eared old periwig, no dunderhead forthcoming, to restore the concern to its former disabled condition? |
5307 | It is always satisfactory to explain a thing distinctly, and the arias of Esopus are, I suppose, still lying on the table? |
5307 | It just occurs to me that you already know this; but what am I to do? |
5307 | It seems that I have enemies here also; where have I not had them? |
5307 | Josepha-- I mean the youngest, and pray why not? |
5307 | Keiserin? |
5307 | M. Grimm recently said to me,"What am I to write to your father? |
5307 | MADEMOISELLE, MA TRES- CHERE COUSINE,-- You perhaps think or believe that I must be dead? |
5307 | Maidli, lass Da saga, wo list dan gwesa he? |
5307 | Mamma:"Well, where is it?" |
5307 | May I soon write you a French letter? |
5307 | Mozart?" |
5307 | My dear sister, to- morrow we dine with Herr von Mayer; and do you know why? |
5307 | My kind friend, how can I sufficiently thank you? |
5307 | N. B., have not you a horror of the very name of Paris? |
5307 | Next Wednesday I set off, and do you know how I travel? |
5307 | Now let the matter rest as it is, or as it may be, what avail useless speculations? |
5307 | Now, what is to be deduced from that? |
5307 | One thing I very much regret, which is that I can not give you house- room, because I am not at an hotel, but am living with-- whom do you think? |
5307 | Ought not I to accept it if they are in earnest? |
5307 | Perhaps you may laugh at this? |
5307 | Pray, what do you hear about the war? |
5307 | Rose( who was in the third room from us, busy with the linen) had finished, she came in and said to me,"Do you wish me to begin now?" |
5307 | Some days after, when he saw me, he said with a sneer,"Well, did you discover anything very fine-- did you learn anything from it? |
5307 | Surely you can not have got my letters from there? |
5307 | Tell me how Master Canary is? |
5307 | The Count then said to me,"I hear that you play the piano very tolerably?" |
5307 | The Elector asked him,"Did you really compose these?" |
5307 | The Munich company of comedians are, I conclude, now acting? |
5307 | There is no theatre, no opera there; and if they really wished to have one, who is there to sing? |
5307 | They are indeed taking a certain powder-- how do I know what? |
5307 | This seems incredible, does it not? |
5307 | This sounds rather oracular, does it not? |
5307 | To whom? |
5307 | WHY have I not as yet written anything about Misliweczeck? |
5307 | We dine at a restaurateur''s, after dinner I write, and then we go out again, and afterwards sup, but on what? |
5307 | We were going home straight from Count Firmiani''s, and when we came into our street we opened our door, and what do you think happened? |
5307 | Weep, weep, as you can not fail to weep, but take comfort at last; remember that God Almighty has ordained it, and how can we rebel against Him? |
5307 | Well, instead of remaining NOT BAD, no doubt it soon becomes good? |
5307 | Were you very merry during the Carnival? |
5307 | What are the words?" |
5307 | What can I wish for more?" |
5307 | What course do you intend to pursue? |
5307 | What do you mean?--Why?" |
5307 | What do you think was the first piece after the symphony? |
5307 | What does it matter if he does not answer you? |
5307 | What kind of mask did Madame Rosa wear, and Herr von Molk, and Herr von Schiedenhofen? |
5307 | What means this? |
5307 | What merit is there in this? |
5307 | What of the family portraits? |
5307 | What of the family portraits? |
5307 | What other cause could I possibly have? |
5307 | What other resource have we to make us calm? |
5307 | When the Elector came up to me, I said,"Will your Royal Highness permit me to pay my homage and to offer your Royal Highness my services?" |
5307 | When the other began, I said,"Who may that be?" |
5307 | Who can tell whether he may not please? |
5307 | Who can tell? |
5307 | Who does not know the varied riches of Mozart''s life? |
5307 | Who knows? |
5307 | Who knows? |
5307 | Who would not feel happy to have completed such a great and laborious work-- and completed it, too, with honor and renown? |
5307 | Why are we still here? |
5307 | Why did we go direct to Mannheim? |
5307 | Why is a great opera never intrusted to a Frenchman? |
5307 | Why is it always given to a foreigner? |
5307 | Why must I be so brief? |
5307 | Why not? |
5307 | Why were they so improvident as to allow Misliweczeck to give them the slip, and he so near too? |
5307 | Why were we fourteen days in Augsburg? |
5307 | Why, then, did I not laugh at her in my letter to you? |
5307 | Why, to Heckmann-- a charming man, is he not? |
5307 | Why? |
5307 | Why? |
5307 | Why? |
5307 | Why? |
5307 | Why? |
5307 | Wish Herr von Heffner a happy journey from me, and ask him if he has seen Annamindl? |
5307 | Would you like to know how I was received by him? |
5307 | You desire to have a faithful portrait of Rothfischer? |
5307 | You do not write to me how Herr Esser accompanied my sonatas-- ill, or well? |
5307 | You probably know that the worthy musico Marquesi, the Marquessius di Milano, has been poisoned in Naples, but how? |
5307 | You say I ought to have practised with her? |
5307 | You think she put off being bled too long? |

4973 | And have heard him speak? |
4973 | And you have heard him? |
4973 | And you know him? |
4973 | Are you not coming sometime to St. Petersburg,said I to George Sand in the most polite tone,"where you are so much read, so highly admired?" |
4973 | But Mendelssohn,the reader will say,"surely Chopin must have admired and felt in sympathy with this sweet- voiced, well- mannered musician?" |
4973 | Do you believe? |
4973 | Do you practise when the day of the concert approaches? |
4973 | Doctor, would you take it amiss if I were to force your wife to do it? |
4973 | How is''gravity''to clothe itself, if''jest''goes about in dark veils? |
4973 | Not even George Sand then,she asked,"is a particular friend?" |
4973 | Oui, n''est- ce pas? 4973 Welcomed there in a very friendly manner, people asked me when I was introduced:''You are, I suppose, a brother of the pianist?'' |
4973 | Well,replied Balzac,"what shall I do? |
4973 | What do you read then? 4973 What do you say to it?" |
4973 | What do you wish? 4973 Who is near me?" |
4973 | Why do you play less well to- day? |
4973 | Why? 4973 You see,"said the virtuoso rising,"that Liszt can be Chopin when he likes; but could Chopin be Liszt?" |
4973 | You think so? |
4973 | ''And my duty?'' |
4973 | ( 1824?) |
4973 | ( Bright sunshine? |
4973 | --"25,000 francs? |
4973 | --"Do you believe as your mother taught you?" |
4973 | --"Et Liszt?" |
4973 | 20? |
4973 | 22 or another work? |
4973 | 57. published in May, 1845, or, lastly, is it simply a misprint?] |
4973 | After the Andante the queen whispered to a lady- in- waiting:"Would it not be indiscreet to ask them to play it again?" |
4973 | All the romances of my brain disappear? |
4973 | And George Sand? |
4973 | And are not the names of Poland''s most popular heroes, Sobieski and Kosciuszko, household words all the world over? |
4973 | And even though the evidence of deeds were wanting, have we not that of her words and opinions as set forth in her works? |
4973 | And has he forgotten his ideal? |
4973 | And how did he play them? |
4973 | And how long was Spohr known as an excellent violinist before he had written Faust, Jessonda, and other works? |
4973 | And my servant, what is he doing? |
4973 | And poor Berton? |
4973 | And the health of Madame Franchomme and of the little children? |
4973 | And was this expression of his inner life really"mysterious and vague"? |
4973 | And what did the national poet dream and see in these dreams and visions? |
4973 | And why did Chopin regard Mozart as the ideal type, the poet par excellence? |
4973 | And, lastly, who are the pianist friends that were as devotedly attached to him as the most romantic of his aristocratic worshippers? |
4973 | Are genius, greatness, and fame the measures of trustworthiness? |
4973 | Are the roses at home still in their flame- hued pride? |
4973 | Are we not now comrades? |
4973 | Are you comfortable? |
4973 | As soon as she appeared with her two charming daughters[ daughter and cousin? |
4973 | As to the portier, he very likely tells lies, but who will prove it? |
4973 | At a round table sat the queen with an elegant work- basket before her( perhaps to embroider a purse for me? |
4973 | But are not Beethoven''s scherzos, too, misnamed? |
4973 | But be their shortcomings ever so great and many, who would dispense with these works? |
4973 | But do we not all rather yearn for what we have not than enjoy what we have? |
4973 | But how can a conscientious biographer help this ungraciousness and inaccommodativeness? |
4973 | But how did the composer himself describe it? |
4973 | But how does the matter stand when there is genius on both sides, and self- sacrifice of either party entails loss to the world? |
4973 | But how many years before this visit was it composed? |
4973 | But is she really a woman? |
4973 | But outsiders ask: How is it, then, that so great a virtuoso has not trained players who have made the world ring with their fame? |
4973 | But seeing that Chopin evolved so much, why should he not also have evolved this? |
4973 | But supposing Chopin and George Sand to have really met at the Marquis de Custine''s, was this their first meeting? |
4973 | But the touchy artist, in true artist fashion-- or shall we be quite just and say"in true human fashion"? |
4973 | But were Chopin''s friends correct in saying that he played better than Kalkbrenner, and could learn nothing from him? |
4973 | But what did Chopin think of Thalberg? |
4973 | But what is the use of carping at a name? |
4973 | But what is this( the four bars before the tempo I.)? |
4973 | But what shall I do? |
4973 | But what was it then that attracted him to Kalkbrenner, and made him exalt this pianist above all the pianists he had heard? |
4973 | But what was the reason of this indignation? |
4973 | But what was to be done now? |
4973 | But who could describe that wondrous blending of loving strength and lovable weakness of a true woman''s character? |
4973 | But who could recount all the happy and hapless loves that have made poets? |
4973 | But who would expect religious adherence to fact from Heine, who at all times distinguishes himself rather by wit than conscientiousness? |
4973 | But why do you not write a word about yourself? |
4973 | But, it may be asked, did all this happen in exactly the same way in which it is told here? |
4973 | But, it may be asked, was not this languid monotony which results from the employment of these means just what Chopin intended? |
4973 | But, it will be asked, what music did they play? |
4973 | But, then, how could Chopin have composed on that occasion a Prelude included in a work the manuscript of which he sent away on the lath? |
4973 | Chopin does not envy him the honour:-- Will the time come[ he writes] when Lafont will accompany me? |
4973 | Chopin to Gutmann; Calder House, October 16, 1848( twelve miles from Edinburgh):-- Very dear friend,--What are you doing? |
4973 | Chopin when applied to for his signature wrote:"La lettre venant des Allemands, comment voulez- vous que je m''arroge le droit de la signer?" |
4973 | Chopin''s style, then, was not original? |
4973 | Could it possibly be Loch Lomond? |
4973 | Could she not select something better than just this etude, the least interesting for those who do not know that it is written for the black keys? |
4973 | Dark clouds?) |
4973 | Did Dib dance in last night''s pantomime? |
4973 | Did I happen to lend you Witwicki''s songs? |
4973 | Did Miss Wieck play my Etude well? |
4973 | Did fame and publications travel so slowly in the earlier part of the century? |
4973 | Did not Chopin himself say to Hiller that he wished to be to his countrymen what Uhland was to the Germans? |
4973 | Did you prepay when you sent them the letter? |
4973 | Did you prepay? |
4973 | Did you receive my little note the day before yesterday? |
4973 | Do the trees still sing as beautifully in the moonlight? |
4973 | Do we not hear-- yea, and see too-- a high- spirited chivalry approaching and passing? |
4973 | Do you board at the club? |
4973 | Do you know Chopin''s wonderful studies?) |
4973 | Do you know how much Wessel paid him for them? |
4973 | Do you not know that the hour for working has come?" |
4973 | Does he agree to the transaction I proposed to him? |
4973 | Does it not rather suggest a Titan in commotion? |
4973 | Does the white- bearded sea- god still persecute her with his foolish, stale love? |
4973 | Does this question sound arrogant? |
4973 | Est- ce un chien qui vient d''aboyer?] |
4973 | For did he not consider his own playing as good as that of Herz, and feel that he had in him the stuff to found a new era in music? |
4973 | For is not leaping the mind''s natural mode of locomotion, and walking an artificially- acquired and rare accomplishment? |
4973 | Gutmann asked what he intended to do? |
4973 | Gutmann tells us that he had an early opportunity of making these observations, for Chopin visited his pupil the very day after his arrival(? |
4973 | Had Chopin or her brother, or both, to do with this paroxysm of despair? |
4973 | Had Chopin, when he left Paris, really in view the possibility of settling in London? |
4973 | Had genius to wait so long for recognition? |
4973 | Has Liszt correctly represented it? |
4973 | Has a dog been barking?" |
4973 | Have you delivered any of the messages it contained? |
4973 | Have you received the letter? |
4973 | Have you thrown up redoubts? |
4973 | He may not have recognised us at once, quickened his steps, stopped before us, and said to her harshly:"Qu''est- ce que vous faites ici?" |
4973 | He ought to give me 300 francs for it, n''est- ce pas? |
4973 | He was there, he was present at the triumph of his pupil, the anxious audience asked itself:"Shall we hear him?" |
4973 | Heaven be thanked, they are all well; but why are they concerned about me? |
4973 | Hereupon Rollinat asked him naively:--"Well, why, then, do you not set about it at once?" |
4973 | How are my friends faring? |
4973 | How are you and your wife and the dear children? |
4973 | How are your people, your country, your art? |
4973 | How are your people? |
4973 | How is this strange silence to be accounted for? |
4973 | How many days( between August 23 and September 7?) |
4973 | How often have they not conquered the conquerors of their country? |
4973 | How should I receive this precious soul so as to give it to God? |
4973 | How, indeed, could a lasting concord be maintained by two such disparate characters? |
4973 | I saw Chopin every day; how, then, could I remain ignorant of it?" |
4973 | I was with Chopin at the time the letter arrived, and he said to me,"They have only me, and should I close my door upon them? |
4973 | I wonder if that will have a good effect? |
4973 | In what state of mind are you? |
4973 | Indeed, how could they? |
4973 | Is Madame de Lauvergeat also at the sea- side? |
4973 | Is it not his duty to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth, in order that his subject may stand out unobstructed and shine forth unclouded? |
4973 | Is it not possible that Chopin may have afterwards substituted the new Prelude for one of those already forwarded to France? |
4973 | Is it possible to imagine anything more inconsistent and self- delusive than these ravings of our friend? |
4973 | Is she at Radom? |
4973 | Is she really so much changed in appearance? |
4973 | Is there not something pleonastic in the title"Fantaisie- Impromptu?" |
4973 | Is there still no end to the bloodshed? |
4973 | Is this not a quite unusual politeness? |
4973 | Is this not an altogether mad idea? |
4973 | Is this not like a shriek of despair? |
4973 | It was evident that the money given to the portiere had not arrived at its destination; but how to be assured of this? |
4973 | Keep your millions for me till another time-- is it not already too much to dispose of your time as I do? |
4973 | Let him know that I have six new manuscripts, for which I want 300 francs each( how many pounds is that?). |
4973 | Looked at from the musician''s point of view, how much do we not see that is novel and strange, and beautiful and fascinating withal? |
4973 | No? |
4973 | Now, how are you? |
4973 | Now, what congeniality could there be between the rugged German and the delicate Pole? |
4973 | Now, what remains of this statement after subtracting prejudices and narrow- mindedness? |
4973 | Now, what thoughts did Chopin''s playing call up in Heine? |
4973 | On December 21, 1830, he writes to his parents:-- I do not know whether I ought to go soon to Italy or wait a little longer? |
4973 | On what floor, and how much do you pay? |
4973 | Or are you so lazy? |
4973 | Or must we assume that the man Moscheles was less congenial to Chopin than the artist? |
4973 | Perhaps she mocks at me-- laughs at me? |
4973 | Perhaps she only appeared so to you, or was she afraid of anything? |
4973 | Perhaps she was ill? |
4973 | Perhaps to pay his debts? |
4973 | Seeing that so many of Chopin''s letters have been published with wrong dates, why not also that of January 12? |
4973 | Shall I go to Paris? |
4973 | Shall I kill myself? |
4973 | Shall I not write to you any more? |
4973 | Shall I return home? |
4973 | Shall I stay here? |
4973 | Shall I tell you how well founded this disgust was? |
4973 | Stoepel?" |
4973 | Surely this passionate lover could not have forgotten her beneath whose feet he wished his ashes to be spread after his death? |
4973 | Tantae animis coelestibus irae? |
4973 | That is why I write you such a foolish letter, is it? |
4973 | The Count said--"Chopin, how is it that you, who have such admirable ideas, do not compose an opera?" |
4973 | The air? |
4973 | The latter came with an old friend, a Russian Capellmeister[ Soliva?]. |
4973 | The reader may perhaps already have asked the question-- What was Chopin like in his outward appearance? |
4973 | The tender commencement of the second part is followed, as it were, by the several times repeated questions-- Yes? |
4973 | They expected also to see me, in full dress, in the very middle of the choir; what not? |
4973 | This is also the place to dispose of the question: What was done with Chopin''s MSS.? |
4973 | To complete the idea of the man, we must not omit to mention his essay In how far is the Polish language suitable for music? |
4973 | To take liberties with another artist''s works and complain when another artist takes liberties with your own works is very inconsistent, is it not? |
4973 | To- morrow I shall hold a rehearsal[ of the E minor Concerto] with quartet, and then drive to-- whither? |
4973 | Was Chopin a good teacher? |
4973 | Was Solange the chief subject of George Sand''s lamentations? |
4973 | Was his attachment to the composer weaker than his attachment to his cash- box?] |
4973 | Was it written first for the pianoforte and orchestra, as Schumann suspects? |
4973 | Well, did she not come and fulfil her promise, or, at least, take leave of her friend of many years? |
4973 | What Pole does not hate the Jews? |
4973 | What can I do? |
4973 | What do we know of Blangini, the"Musical Anacreon,"and his twenty operas, one hundred and seventy two- part"Notturni,"thirty- four"Romances,"& c.? |
4973 | What do you think of this? |
4973 | What else, indeed, had Vienna to offer to the earnest musician? |
4973 | What had he not always feared on this terrain? |
4973 | What is going on at home? |
4973 | What is it to me if Schlesinger makes Probst pay dearer for my manuscripts? |
4973 | What more would I not want if that were your fancy? |
4973 | What name has been more misapplied than that of impromptu? |
4973 | What necessity was there to expatiate on her brother''s drunkenness? |
4973 | What other work of the composer could be pointed out exhibiting the like feature? |
4973 | What shall I say? |
4973 | What shall you do with my papers? |
4973 | What virtuous motives can have prompted her to publish her mother''s shame? |
4973 | What was I to do? |
4973 | What was to be done? |
4973 | What will be the result? |
4973 | Where are Paer''s oratorios, operas, and cantatas performed now? |
4973 | Where are they? |
4973 | Whether the other artists had so too I did not know as yet; but why should they be against me? |
4973 | While thus controverting the so- called vox Dei( are not popular opinions generally popular prejudices?) |
4973 | Who can help smiling at this combination of pompous authoritativeness and wretched short- sightedness? |
4973 | Who can sound the sufferings proceeding from this contrast? |
4973 | Who could resist? |
4973 | Who could retain everything? |
4973 | Who sent them to me? |
4973 | Who would suspect the composer''s fragility and sickliness in this work? |
4973 | Why am I doomed to be here so lonely and forsaken? |
4973 | Why did he keep it in his portfolio? |
4973 | Why have I not expressed an opinion on the moral aspect of Chopin''s connection with George Sand? |
4973 | Why may I not at least be your drummer? |
4973 | Why should I not embrace it?... |
4973 | Why should he write? |
4973 | With what do you occupy yourself generally?" |
4973 | Would it be an honest action? |
4973 | Would it not have been possible to live in retirement without drawing upon himself the accusation of supercilious hauteur? |
4973 | Would the praise which is generally lavished upon her have been so enthusiastic if the lady had been a professional pianist instead of a princess? |
4973 | You begin at last to become more tranquil,[ FOOTNOTE: This, I think, refers to some loss Franchomme had sustained in his family] do you not? |
4973 | You have read the German letters, sealed them, and done everything I asked you, have you not? |
4973 | You will come back to us in the month of September, will you not? |
4973 | You write that you and your regiment are going to take the field; how will you forward the note? |
4973 | [ 1827?] |
4973 | [ Chopin, avec vos idees admirables, pourquoi ne nous faites- vous pas un opera?] |
4973 | [ Have you studied diligently?] |
4973 | [ Qu''est- ce? |
4973 | a pupil of Liszt''s, an artist?" |
4973 | and Madame Franchomme and her dear children? |
4973 | and these 25,000 francs which were sent you lately?" |
4973 | and what follows, bewildered efforts of a soul shut in by a wall of circumstances through which it strives in vain to break? |
4973 | and what had become of it? |
4973 | at last sinking down with fatigue, dreaming a dream of idyllic beauty? |
4973 | but beginning the struggle again as soon as its strength is recruited? |
4973 | does she love me? |
4973 | replied Chopin, with a drawl, but in the politest tone,"what do you want me for then? |
49507 | I kept thee as safe As I keep my skin....SIEGFRIED[_ With increasing urgency._ Next tell me, who was my father? |
49507 | I made the mite clothing To keep it warm....SIEGFRIED Now tell me, what name was my mother''s? |
49507 | ..[_ In Siegfried''s arms, looking faintly up at him._ Siegfried... knows me not? |
49507 | A VASSAL Was that the end of the singing? |
49507 | A surly old dwarf Said to me once That men might learn To follow the sense Of birds when they were singing; Could it indeed be done? |
49507 | A wish- maiden I bore to Wotan; From fields of battle She brought him slain heroes; Bold is she And wise to boot: Why waken me? |
49507 | ALBERICH And what of thyself Couldst aright have fashioned, thou bungler? |
49507 | ALBERICH Art thou intent On mischief again? |
49507 | ALBERICH Have I disturbed thee, Thief, at thy work, Secret and sly? |
49507 | ALBERICH Just for rearing him, The old niggardly, Beggarly knave, Bold as brass, A king now would become? |
49507 | ALBERICH Rogue, has my gold Provoked thy greed? |
49507 | ALBERICH What the boy has won Would the niggard deny him? |
49507 | ALBERICH Who was it robbed The Rhine of gold for the ring? |
49507 | ALBERICH[_ Violently._ Wilt thou hold thy hand from the hoard? |
49507 | ALBERICH[_ With anxious amazement, aside._ Does the madman mean it? |
49507 | ALDERICH And yet it is not to be mine? |
49507 | ALDERICH Does none but Mime Dispute me the ring? |
49507 | Alberich is seen crouching in front of him, leaning his arms on Hagen''s knees._ ALBERICH[_ Softly._ Hagen, son, art asleep? |
49507 | All stand fixed in silent mutual contemplation._ SIEGFRIED[_ Leaning on his horse, remains quietly standing by the boat._ Who is Gibich''s son? |
49507 | Am I to have it? |
49507 | And how weld the splinters Of obstinate steel? |
49507 | And where shall I find The runes for this riddle? |
49507 | And whose cunning wrought The spell of magical might? |
49507 | And why hast callèd us here? |
49507 | Anguished with terror? |
49507 | Apart-- who shall divide us? |
49507 | Armed men arrive in haste by different paths; first singly, and then in larger and larger groups._ THE VASSALS Why sounds the horn? |
49507 | Art awake? |
49507 | Art thou a mortal, Or dost thou hie From Hella''s dark host? |
49507 | Art thou alone? |
49507 | Art thou then a bird or a fox? |
49507 | As my blood like a torrent Surges and leaps, The fire fierce- flaming Dost thou not feel? |
49507 | At last thou beginnest to fear? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE On Siegfried? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE The Rhine- daughters-- I-- the ring? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE The ring-- away? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE Were I now thine? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE Where hast thou hid the ring That thou didst capture from me? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE[_ Alarmed._ What ails, then, the Gods everlasting? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE[_ Bewildered._ Confused are my senses, My mind is blank: Wisdom, dost thou forsake me? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE[_ Here, for the first time, notices with surprise Waltraute''s wildly excited state._ Art afraid? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE[_ Looking round dully._ On whom? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE[_ Scarcely able to control herself._ Siegfried... here? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE[_ Stares, as if fainting, before her; exhausted._ O woman undone, Where now thy defence? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE[_ Trembling violently._ What man has done This deed undaunted That the boldest only dares? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE[_ With animation._ Then a waste is my hall of rock? |
49507 | BRÜNNHILDE[_ With fearful vehemence._ I? |
49507 | Behind what hill Hast suddenly hidden my game? |
49507 | Betrayed by drowsiness And rest thou dost not hear? |
49507 | Blithe hero, Whither bound? |
49507 | Brünnhilde starts up in delight._ Siegfried? |
49507 | But answer me this: Has the brute a heart? |
49507 | But how, Mime, Can it be mine? |
49507 | But where hast thou, Mime, A wife dear and loving, That I may call her mother? |
49507 | By the blaze of my eyes Thou art not struck blind? |
49507 | By what wizard''s spell Worked was the woe? |
49507 | Can I awaken the bride? |
49507 | Can it mean Fafner''s death? |
49507 | Canst thou not see? |
49507 | Canst thou tell us the end? |
49507 | Could babe without mother Be born to thee? |
49507 | Did I say that? |
49507 | Did the dear one but sleep? |
49507 | Didst thou take nothing besides? |
49507 | Do I drivel or dote? |
49507 | Does my subtle scheming Please thee now? |
49507 | Does revolt''s teacher Chide revolt? |
49507 | Does the deed he urged to Anger him, done? |
49507 | Dost covet my goods? |
49507 | Dost thou know how he fared? |
49507 | Dost thou see That cavern yawning dark? |
49507 | Ever- brightening tongues of flame shoot up over the edge of the rock._ Why leap so wildly The billows that blaze round the rock? |
49507 | Explain: this fearing, what is it? |
49507 | FAFNER Is this insolence? |
49507 | FAFNER''S VOICE Who troubles my sleep? |
49507 | FAFNER[_ At the sight of Siegfried has paused on the high ground, and remains there._ What is that? |
49507 | FAFNER[_ In a weaker voice._ Who art thou, boy bold- hearted, That hast pierced my breast? |
49507 | FLOSSHILDE Is she a shrew? |
49507 | FLOSSHILDE What art thou scolding about? |
49507 | False to his vow? |
49507 | Fearest thou not The wild, love- frenzied maid? |
49507 | Fearest thou, Siegfried? |
49507 | From woe and wrath Rises the Nibelung''s ring; A curse of revenge Ruthlessly gnaws at the strands:-- Canst thou the end foretell? |
49507 | GRUTUNE Siegfried faithless? |
49507 | GUNTHER And Brünnhild''no other can win? |
49507 | GUNTHER And Siegfried won it in fight? |
49507 | GUNTHER Broke he the bond? |
49507 | GUNTHER But how can he be found? |
49507 | GUNTHER But how wilt deceive her? |
49507 | GUNTHER He only who braves the fire... SIEGFRIED[_ As if making an intense effort to remember something._"He only who braves the fire"...? |
49507 | GUNTHER Suffices my strength for the task? |
49507 | GUNTHER Thou wouldst seize Gutrune''s dower, Insolent Niblung son? |
49507 | GUNTHER Was I betrayed? |
49507 | GUNTHER Who is that hero unmatched? |
49507 | GUNTHER Whom wouldst thou have me woo, To win more wide renown? |
49507 | GUNTHER Will he go by? |
49507 | GUNTHER[_ In great perplexity._ The ring? |
49507 | GUNTHER[_ Rises angrily from his seat._ Why wake dissension and doubt? |
49507 | GUNTHER[_ Seized with horror._ Siegfried''s death? |
49507 | GUNTHER[_ Softly._ Brünnhilde''s ring? |
49507 | GUNTHER[_ Springing up in the greatest consternation._ What says he? |
49507 | GUNTHER[_ Turns away doubtful and angry._ But how could I force this man To woo the bride for me? |
49507 | GUTRUNE A wrong? |
49507 | GUTRUNE And no harm didst thou take? |
49507 | GUTRUNE And so the bold maid was tamed? |
49507 | GUTRUNE But how got Gunther his wife from thee? |
49507 | GUTRUNE Comes then Brünnhild''with my brother? |
49507 | GUTRUNE Did Brünnhild''think thee Gunther? |
49507 | GUTRUNE Did she give herself to thee? |
49507 | GUTRUNE For her husband thou didst pass? |
49507 | GUTRUNE Siegfried-- mine? |
49507 | GUTRUNE Siegfried? |
49507 | GUTRUNE Was he not scorched by the fire? |
49507 | GUTRUNE[_ Breaking out in sudden despair._ Accursèd Hagen, Why didst thou give the poison That stole her husband away? |
49507 | GUTRUNE[_ In great fear._ What is wrong, Hagen? |
49507 | GUTRUNE[_ With growing terror._ What bring they here? |
49507 | Guardest thou Fafner''s house? |
49507 | Gunther? |
49507 | Gutrune comes out of her chamber into the hall._ Was that his horn? |
49507 | Gutrune''s lord? |
49507 | HAGEN And nothing took at all? |
49507 | HAGEN But thou didst hear them once? |
49507 | HAGEN Didst thou take The Tarnhelm and ring? |
49507 | HAGEN Hast thou won Brünnhild''? |
49507 | HAGEN No luck at all? |
49507 | HAGEN The wood- bird''s counsel Didst thou follow? |
49507 | HAGEN Then no weapon forged could wound him? |
49507 | HAGEN Which safe thou dost hold? |
49507 | HAGEN With me art wroth for that? |
49507 | HAGEN''Twas well that he warned? |
49507 | HAGEN[_ Bending confidentially towards Gutrune._ What of the drink in the chest? |
49507 | HAGEN[_ Remains motionless as before._ The might of the Gods Who then shall wield? |
49507 | HAGEN[_ Stepping between them._ Brünnhild'', dauntless queen, Knowest thou this ring well? |
49507 | Hagen, son, art asleep? |
49507 | Has grief enough Not deluged the earth through thy guile? |
49507 | Has he made off? |
49507 | Has he stained Gunther''s honour? |
49507 | Has she gone mad? |
49507 | Hast thou gone crazy? |
49507 | Hast thou not fostered a stripling To pluck the fruit thou durst not[_ With growing violence._ Pluck frankly for thyself? |
49507 | Hast thou not heard? |
49507 | Hast thou rejoiced Thyself to see Reflected clear in the stream? |
49507 | Hast thou such wisdom, Explain, I pray thee, A thing I have wondered at: Though I go roaming Just to avoid thee, Why do I always return? |
49507 | Have I found A path to peace? |
49507 | He listens with growing interest to one singing in the branches above him._ O lovely warbler, I know not thy note; Hast thou thy home in this wood? |
49507 | He looks into the wood at the side and comes forward a little._ What lies in shadow, Asleep in the wood? |
49507 | He who guards the right, To whom vows are sacred, Hinders the right?-- Reigns through falsehood? |
49507 | He... Siegfried? |
49507 | Here stands one Who would learn to fear; Say, wilt thou be his teacher? |
49507 | How brace my heart? |
49507 | How conquer my fear? |
49507 | How could I weld it? |
49507 | How could we look in her face If her husband we had slain? |
49507 | How earnest thou by The ring thou hast on? |
49507 | How help myself now? |
49507 | How hold the boy here? |
49507 | How lead the young madcap To Fafner''s lair? |
49507 | How rede aright such a riddle? |
49507 | How shall I dare To look on their light? |
49507 | How, coward, could it be taught me? |
49507 | If I be thine? |
49507 | If Siegfried learn fear, The dragon will never be slain; And, if so, how gain the ring? |
49507 | In front of this Hagen is seated._ GUNTHER Give ear, Hagen; Tell me the truth: Is my fame on the Rhine Worthy of Gibich''s son? |
49507 | Is Gunther sore pressed? |
49507 | Is it the dragon''s slayer? |
49507 | Is it the glare That dazzles me still? |
49507 | Is she within? |
49507 | Is that what is meant by fearing? |
49507 | Is the work finished? |
49507 | Is there a spell, Perhaps, in the blood? |
49507 | Is this what fear means? |
49507 | Just one thing more I would learn, sweet singer: Say, shall I break through the fire? |
49507 | Know I all thou wouldst learn? |
49507 | Know ye why that was? |
49507 | Knowest thou Wotan''s will? |
49507 | Knowest thou more thereof? |
49507 | Laughing, the flames Allure thee to follow? |
49507 | MIME And where is the ring? |
49507 | MIME But the dragon grim Has fallen before thee? |
49507 | MIME But what proof will convince thee? |
49507 | MIME Now the file is ruined, The rasp is useless; Why grind thus the steel to splinters? |
49507 | MIME The sword? |
49507 | MIME Thou knowest not that, Yet wouldst from the forest Forth to the world? |
49507 | MIME Thou wilt not refuse Cooling refreshment When the fierce fight is over? |
49507 | MIME What father? |
49507 | MIME Who made the Tarnhelm, Changing its wearer''s form? |
49507 | MIME[_ Alarmed._ What wouldst thou to- day with the sword? |
49507 | MIME[_ Angrily._ What dost thou mean? |
49507 | MIME[_ As before._ Where shall I turn in my need? |
49507 | MIME[_ Astonished._ What makes thee think that? |
49507 | MIME[_ Comes forward, greatly upset and confused._ The sword? |
49507 | MIME[_ Furiously._ Do what, child? |
49507 | MIME[_ In a small voice, from behind the anvil._''Tis thou then, child? |
49507 | MIME[_ Starting up in alarm._ Who seeks for me here In desolate woods, Finds my home in the forest wild? |
49507 | MIME[_ Very angrily._ How canst thou talk Such terrible stuff? |
49507 | MIME[_ Who has been staring at the Wanderer open- mouthed, now shrinks back; aside, dejectedly._ Now how to get rid of the spy? |
49507 | Meanest thou her? |
49507 | Motionless, gloomy silence._ THE FIRST NORN What light glimmers there? |
49507 | Must I help thee? |
49507 | Must then all human mothers Thus die on giving Birth to a son? |
49507 | My head, say, is it Still, Wanderer, mine? |
49507 | Now answer: Think ye my counsel good? |
49507 | Now how shall I teach thee to fear? |
49507 | Now say, whence came the name Siegfried? |
49507 | Or perchance-- O say!--[_ With some hesitation._ Has he at last Softened to his child? |
49507 | Pale art thou dawning Athwart the dark? |
49507 | Round the sharp edge Of the rock I wind the rope: Sing, O sister, Catch as I throw; Further canst thou tell? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED Courage or insolence, What matter? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED From a dragon grim I won the ring in fight; And think ye for a worthless bear- skin I would exchange the gold? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED I trust thee not with my ears, I trust thee but with mine eyes: What witness speaks for thee? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED If I must swear, The slander to still, Which of you offers His sword for the oath? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED It lies not far from the world? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED It lies, however, Where all hearts lie, Brute and human alike? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED Of a cooling drink I were glad; Say, how has this one been brewed? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED Said not thy song Thy wisdom drew Its light from thy love of me? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED Still art thou dumb, Stubborn old man? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED That I am hated Pleases me; But must I lose my life for thy pleasure? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED To me thou art plotting harm, then? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED Wakes Gutrune? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED What know I of that? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED When I was a babe Thou wert my nurse, Made the mite clothing To keep him warm; But tell me, whence Did the tiny mite come? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED Where has he his lair? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED Where stable my horse? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED Where the master has failed What hope for the scholar, Had he obeyed him in all? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED Who was my father? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Goes a few steps towards Brünnhilde, who has begun to tremble._ Why looks Brünnhild''amazed? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Halts and turns round._ Did some one speak? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Impatiently._ What absurd Invention is this? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Laughing._ Under the anvil? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Laughing._''Twas under the seat That thou wert sitting; What weighty thing foundest thou there? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Regarding them with a smile._ Have ye, then, hither charmed The shaggy- hided fellow Whom I have lost? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Sits down under the lime- tree and looks about him._ So here I shall learn what fear is? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Slowly._ My poor mother died, then, through me? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Softly and timidly._ My mother did not die, then? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Softly._ Can those be good runes That in her eyes I am reading? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Surprised._ At what dost thou laugh? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Turning to Hagen._ My name thou knowest; Where have we met? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Turns with animation to Gunther._ In what canst thou fail With me for friend? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Vehemently._ Dost thou by shuffling Seek to escape? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Vehemently_ Is it an art? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ Violently._ Wilt thou speak plainly Or must I help thee? |
49507 | SIEGFRIED[_ With quiet wonder._ This fear then, what is it? |
49507 | Say, bold fighter, Hast thou been taught how to fear? |
49507 | Say, what foe is nigh? |
49507 | Say, what next? |
49507 | Say, what sword, If Fafner to fall is, Must be by Siegfried swung? |
49507 | See p. 129] WALTRAUTE This is thy faith, then? |
49507 | See p. 86] On whom shall I call, For aid imploring? |
49507 | Shall it be mine? |
49507 | Shining armour? |
49507 | Siegfried a traitor? |
49507 | Siegfried gazes at her with sudden passion._ SIEGFRIED O thou who dost scorch And blind with thine eyes, Why sink them abashed by my gaze? |
49507 | Siegfried returned? |
49507 | Siegfried''s love- pledge? |
49507 | Siegfried? |
49507 | Sing, O sister-- Catch as I throw-- Canst thou tell us why? |
49507 | Sleepest, Hagen, my son? |
49507 | So the stern one does not forgive? |
49507 | Swift- footed hero, Whence stormest thou now? |
49507 | THE SECOND NORN Is it already dawn? |
49507 | THE SECOND NORN[_ To the first._ Where for our spinning and singing Wilt thou fasten the rope? |
49507 | THE THREE RHINE- MAIDENS Wilt grant it? |
49507 | THE VASSALS And after that, Hagen? |
49507 | THE VASSALS Got Mime due payment? |
49507 | THE VASSALS Her kinsmen and vassals Follow for vengeance? |
49507 | THE VASSALS How then can his vassals avail him? |
49507 | THE VASSALS Is he in straits, Pressed by the foe? |
49507 | THE VASSALS The drink- horn in hand, What task awaits us still? |
49507 | THE VASSALS Then the peril is past, And the foe put to flight? |
49507 | THE VASSALS What''s wrong? |
49507 | THE VASSALS[_ With increasing cheerfulness._ What shall we do When the beasts we have slain? |
49507 | That light dost thou see? |
49507 | The Wanderer''s way who bars? |
49507 | The horrible winking, The nods and blinking-- When shall I see The last of them, And rid be at length of the fool? |
49507 | The sword? |
49507 | This corner is mine; What huntest thou here? |
49507 | Thou fearest his punishing wrath? |
49507 | Thou neighest with joy To think thou shalt join him? |
49507 | Thou? |
49507 | Though thou didst want it, Was it designed by thee? |
49507 | Timid day, Tremblest thou forth? |
49507 | To her sorrow Thus coldly thou leavest thy sister? |
49507 | To whom? |
49507 | To whom? |
49507 | VASSALS and WOMEN Deceit? |
49507 | VASSALS and WOMEN Siegfried? |
49507 | WALTRAUTE For Brünnhild''s sake War- father''s ban Hast thou thus bravely broken? |
49507 | WANDERER A wood- bird chatters idly What no man understands; How then couldst thou tell The song''s true meaning? |
49507 | WANDERER But who made The mighty splinters From which the sword was welded strong? |
49507 | WANDERER The Valkyrie, Brünnhild''? |
49507 | WANDERER Who bade thee seek This rock flame- circled?-- Taught thee to yearn for the woman? |
49507 | WANDERER Who forged the sword So hard and keen That it slew the daunting foe? |
49507 | WANDERER Who was it urged thee on To try thy strength, And slay this dragon so dread? |
49507 | WANDERER[_ Enters from the wood, and stops opposite Alberich._ To Neidhöhl''By night I have come; In the dark who is hiding there? |
49507 | WANDERER[_ Quietly._ Schwarz- Alberich Wanders here? |
49507 | WELLGUNDE And beats thee sore? |
49507 | WELLGUNDE In bargains so hard? |
49507 | WELLGUNDE With what elf art thou so wroth? |
49507 | WOGLINDE Art thou so mean? |
49507 | WOGLINDE Has the hero felt her hand? |
49507 | WOGLINDE Hast thou been tricked by some sprite? |
49507 | We come with our arms? |
49507 | Were I to pray the same of thee, Wouldst thou like him be proud? |
49507 | Wert thou grinding the sword? |
49507 | What ails thee, coward? |
49507 | What arts have I to bind him? |
49507 | What brings thee here? |
49507 | What buzzes and whirs? |

49507 | What rustles and hums And rings so loud? |
49507 | What shall I do? |

49507 | What wilt thou here? |
49507 | What woman was it I saw go down to the shore? |
49507 | What work hast thou done? |

49507 | While doing so he watches Mime, who, from the other side of the hearth, carefully puts his pot on the fire._ What does the booby Make in his pot? |
49507 | Whispered ye this In councils dark? |
49507 | Whither away? |

49507 | Why wearest thou Such a monstrous hat, And why hangs it so over thy face? |
49507 | Why, what doest thou there? |
49507 | Will none of you lend a sword With which I may sever my bonds? |
49507 | Wilt eat the meat I have roasted, Or wouldst thou prefer the broth? |
49507 | Wilt never learn the lesson Of gratitude, I wonder? |
49507 | Within thine eyes, So over- weary, Gleams wavering fire; With thy wan visage, O pale- faced sister, What wouldst thou, wild one, of me? |
49507 | Wouldst have this pin Pass for a sword? |
49507 | [_ A distant horn sounds._ Was that his horn? |
49507 | [_ A storm arises in the wood on the right, and from the same quarter there shines down a bluish light._ What comes yonder, gleaming bright? |
49507 | [_ Approaching slowly he stops in surprise when, still at some little distance from her, he sees Brünnhilde._ What radiant thing lies yonder? |
49507 | [_ As she goes towards the hall she turns round again._ Wilt thou rest, wicked man? |
49507 | [_ Calling to the wing, and then hastening to the edge of the rock._ Dost thou, sister, Boldly swinging come this way? |
49507 | [_ He bends lower over the sleeper._ His bosom is heaving, Stirred by his breath; Ought I to loosen the breastplate? |
49507 | [_ He goes still nearer to the Wanderer._ But what art thou like? |
49507 | [_ He goes towards the back._ WANDERER[_ Still in the same position._ Boy, pray tell me, Whither away? |
49507 | [_ He has another drinking- horn filled, and drops the juice of a herb into it._ THE VASSALS What further did the bird tell thee? |
49507 | [_ He holds the sword anxiously in his hand; Siegfried snatches it from him._ What matters an edge keen sharpened, Unless hard and true the steel? |
49507 | [_ He leans his ear towards the cave, listening._ FAFNER''S VOICE What would he? |
49507 | [_ He pauses in surprise._ Where hides the smith? |
49507 | [_ He rubs his hands confidingly._ ALBERICH[_ With a mocking laugh._ Share it with thee? |
49507 | [_ He sinks as if fainting on to Brünnhilde''s bosom; then he starts up sighing._ How waken the maid, Causing her eyelids to open? |
49507 | [_ He turns to go, and beckons Gunther to follow him._ GUNTHER Wilt thou not rest awhile? |
49507 | [_ Much pleased._ A second time My head have I saved? |
49507 | [_ Tenderly._ Her eyelids to open? |
49507 | [_ The maidens laugh._ WOGLINDE What would our guerdon be, Siegfried, if we restored him? |
49507 | [_ They laugh and dive down._ SIEGFRIED[_ Comes down nearer to the river._ Why should I stand Their taunts and blame? |
49507 | [_ Tittering._ SIEGFRIED So thou of my sword And all it has won me-- Ring and booty-- wouldst rob me? |
49507 | [_ Tittering._ SIEGFRIED Thou wouldst, then, slay me when sleeping? |
49507 | [_ Two ravens fly up out of a bush, circle above Siegfried, and then fly away towards the Rhine._ HAGEN Didst understand What the ravens there said? |
49507 | [_ Very softly._ In fear and woe she bore me, But why did she die through me? |
49507 | [_ With a trembling voice._ Gunther, what name is thy sister''s? |
28711 | A handsome fellow? |
28711 | Ah, dost hear the challenge? |
28711 | Ah, ha? |
28711 | Ah, my lovely boy, hast thou now learned to fear? |
28711 | Ah, this is where thou hast hidden thyself? |
28711 | Ah-- then you are not going to mass? |
28711 | Ah? |
28711 | Alas, then, what can I do? |
28711 | Alas, why should I meet thee,she sobbed,"since thou wilt marry Amneris to- morrow?" |
28711 | Alone with me? |
28711 | Am I to have the gaiety of my guests spoiled because of this old dotard? 28711 And Pamina?" |
28711 | And Sieglinde? |
28711 | And by the way, what are your names? |
28711 | And do you smell that delicious odour? 28711 And does he know that you have followed this sweetheart of his?" |
28711 | And how do you want your money? |
28711 | And if I went back-- what about you? |
28711 | And now what can ye do, Molly Pitt? |
28711 | And now you, Polly Smith? |
28711 | And thou, Elsa, wilt thou name thy champion, and leave thy honour in his hands? |
28711 | And who is this good old woman, pray? |
28711 | And-- and who may be''old Rob,''your ladyship? |
28711 | Answer me, Frederick, wilt thou do battle here with whoever may appear to defend this Lady? |
28711 | Are n''t you afraid of being discovered? |
28711 | Are these for me? |
28711 | Are ye good for nothing? |
28711 | Are you a poet? |
28711 | Are you afraid? |
28711 | Are you demented? 28711 Are you then a''scholar''?" |
28711 | Art thou mourning because thou art sorry to lose thy Lord so soon, sweet Lady? |
28711 | Art thou not my son? 28711 Art thou sleeping?" |
28711 | Art thou still near me, Papageno? |
28711 | Art thou there, Aïda? |
28711 | Art thou waking, mother? |
28711 | At once, dear mother? |
28711 | At what point is the service? |
28711 | Because if so, I feel nothing yet-- although maybe I do, and do not know it? |
28711 | Betray his people? |
28711 | But do you not see that though the King should favour us, yet Amneris''s rage would be beyond all bounds? |
28711 | But now canst thou tell me who are they who dwell upon cloud- hidden heights? |
28711 | But since he loves me, how can I betray him, father? |
28711 | But what about Mozart? |
28711 | But what about her husband? |
28711 | But what can I do, since I should have to fight against my own enchantments? |
28711 | But wilt thou not ask him, Rocco? |
28711 | But, Rocco, instead of digging a grave for the poor man, to whom we go, couldst thou not set him free? |
28711 | But, father, must I certainly marry the best singer? |
28711 | By whom are the Ethiopians led? |
28711 | Can I not watch ye at play? |
28711 | Can it be the Dragon''s burning blood has some virtue which makes me understand the bird''s song? |
28711 | Can it be thou hast dreamed a song? |
28711 | Can that light mean the coming of him who is to slay Fafner? |
28711 | Can this be true, my child? |
28711 | Can you not sing? |
28711 | Canst thou deny the accusation? |
28711 | Care well for the horse, Hagen; for it is of the mightiest strain ever known, and dear to me as my eyes; but how do you know my name? |
28711 | David, what are you doing there? |
28711 | Desert my soldiers? |
28711 | Di Luna, mother? |
28711 | Did I not give an eye to win thee, Fricka? |
28711 | Did I not rescue thee from the forest when thou wert born, and have I not fed and clothed thee? |
28711 | Did any one ever know such a stupid, dismal life as we are leading? |
28711 | Did n''t he just pass me on the stairs? |
28711 | Did not Loge promise to ransom thee? 28711 Did you ever notice that there are often some tremendously pretty girls over there?" |
28711 | Do I find there Wotan, and the Wälsungs-- my kinsmen who have gone before me? |
28711 | Do the mists trick us? |
28711 | Do ye who have betrayed me, now think to make that which is mine your own? |
28711 | Do you dare throw yourself into the arms of this man, when I love him? |
28711 | Do you expect to do nothing but entertain us with conversation? 28711 Do you expect to find her here?" |
28711 | Do you know that when a rival tries to take a gipsy girl from her lover there is a price to pay? |
28711 | Do you notice anything extraordinary about that man-- John of the inn? |
28711 | Do you see how these disgusting rustics are staring? 28711 Does anybody love you?" |
28711 | Doing? 28711 Dost know why I go forth and yet return, day after day?" |
28711 | Dost think to grasp Gutrune''s dower? |
28711 | Dost thou determine to hold thy court of judgment here, O King? |
28711 | Dost thou know the crime with which thou art charged? |
28711 | Dost thou not know of the Nibelungs''ring? |
28711 | Dost thou not own the treasure of the Nibelungen, then? |
28711 | Dost thou remember a magic potion I brought here to the hall of the Gibichungs? 28711 Doubtless thou wouldst be safe enough-- if such magic could be,"he answered, incredulously,"but----""You doubt?" |
28711 | Even if I had, what help would it bring me, friend Sachs, since the Mastersingers will not treat me fairly? |
28711 | Father, do you hear that traitor? |
28711 | Father, what brings thee here? |
28711 | Father? |
28711 | For that beautiful maiden? |
28711 | Force the girl? 28711 Go?" |
28711 | Good- bye? |
28711 | Good- night? 28711 Hand to hand and heart to heart, Who shall those I''ve united part?" |
28711 | Has this sailor dared to lift his eyes to the Captain''s daughter? 28711 Hast thou not promised to give my sister Freïa to the Giants who builded it for thee? |
28711 | Have done there, and answer-- where did he go? |
28711 | Have you no horse? |
28711 | Have you noticed any one following Gilda? |
28711 | Have you seen Alfio, Turiddu? |
28711 | Have you told him? |
28711 | He is brave? |
28711 | Here too? |
28711 | Here, what does this mean? 28711 Herr Pogner, may I have speech with you?" |
28711 | Hovel? |
28711 | Hovel? |
28711 | How about that constant love of thine? 28711 How can we go?" |
28711 | How comes my power to naught? |
28711 | How could I manage that? |
28711 | How do I know? 28711 How does your Captain behave himself?" |
28711 | How is this, after thy gentleness of last night? |
28711 | How old are you, anyway? |
28711 | How wilt thou avenge me? 28711 How wilt thou evade it?" |
28711 | How? 28711 Huh?" |
28711 | Hänsel, where are we? |
28711 | I guess that may be the one? |
28711 | I have led others into danger-- dare I desert them? |
28711 | I should like to know why, the moment those chaps go out, we find ourselves in the dark? |
28711 | I wonder could it be possible that I have had an inspiration in my sleep that might lead me to win my dear Eva? |
28711 | I wonder if he can be ill? |
28711 | I wonder where I can be? |
28711 | I wonder will he welcome a wounded and defenceless guest? |
28711 | If I should n''t come back----"What can you mean, my son? |
28711 | If we grant thee some game to- day, wilt thou give us that ring upon thy finger? |
28711 | If you would have that, you must go through every trial; and how about you, Papageno? |
28711 | In another hour shall we not be forever parted? |
28711 | In heaven''s name, why does n''t some one think of something to do that will vary the monotony of this routine existence? 28711 In love with me?" |
28711 | Is he alive? 28711 Is he thy child?" |
28711 | Is it thou who hast gone through flame for me? |
28711 | Is it time to be afraid? |
28711 | Is n''t your reigning chief Sarastro? |
28711 | Is some one there? |
28711 | Is that for me? |
28711 | Is that how you make your living? |
28711 | Is there not a rock surrounded by flames, near by? 28711 Is there nothing to attract you in Memphis, that you wish to be off to the war?" |
28711 | Is this the face of your great Queen? |
28711 | Is this thy justice? 28711 It is Sieglinde?" |
28711 | It''s most awfully good,she declared, but at that very minute came the voice again: Nibble, nibble, mousekin, Who''s nibbling at my housekin? |
28711 | Just what shall I get if I go into your housey? |
28711 | Just who are you? |
28711 | Last night thou wert mild and repentant, why now so bitter? |
28711 | Leave the fight and Escamillo? 28711 Loge?" |
28711 | Madame? |
28711 | Mama Lucia, where is thy son? |
28711 | May not this youth be able, in return for our services to him, to help us in our own troubles? |
28711 | Me? 28711 Nancy-- Julia-- where are you? |
28711 | No haste? 28711 Now one more answer, as wise as those gone before, and thy head is free: Who shall fashion this same sword, Nothung, for Siegfried?" |
28711 | Now what do you mean by standing there and talking love? |
28711 | Now what have you done? 28711 Now who will lend me a horse to put this poor wife upon?" |
28711 | Now, pray tell me, ye wise ones, is it to be my lot to loosen Pamina''s bonds? |
28711 | Now, then, ye have heard? 28711 Oh, Thaddeus, did I not also dream-- which pleased me most-- that you loved me still the same?" |
28711 | Oh, come now-- do you think you can frighten me? 28711 Oh, how shall I awaken her?" |
28711 | Oh, how shall I save him? |
28711 | Oh, who can save him now? |
28711 | Oh-- he is? 28711 Our duties?" |
28711 | Pray what is the news? |
28711 | Pray what_ is_ the news? |
28711 | Pray, where did you get this? |
28711 | Quick, what is thy news? |
28711 | Say, Marker,he asked of Beckmesser,"is this not as it should be?" |
28711 | Say, friend, who is this man? |
28711 | Say, old hag, how long hast thou been among the Biscay mountains? 28711 Shall we not go through the river Rhein?" |
28711 | She has n''t been cooking,he explained;"simply hiding-- and I ca n''t abide idle ways-- never could-- now what is wrong with you two?" |
28711 | She knifed one of the girls, did she? 28711 So much the better,"the Duke answered,"I''ll stay here all night, and you clear out,"to Sparafucile;--"go to the devil, will you? |
28711 | So, you love him? |
28711 | So, you took the song, did you? |
28711 | Solder? 28711 Tell me how you lure people to your home?" |
28711 | Tell me the ring''s secret, wilt thou? |
28711 | Tell me, Hagen,Gunther asked of his half brother,"is there anything I have left undone that could enhance the fortunes of my race?" |
28711 | Tell me, are the ladies of the court beautiful? |
28711 | Tell us, guest, how thy weapons were lost? |
28711 | Telramund, what hast thou said? 28711 That is the only the reason for your tears?" |
28711 | That sounds very bad; but tell me if this thing has a heart which is placed where other hearts are placed? |
28711 | The Countess has a jealous husband, Rigoletto; pray what do you advise? |
28711 | The Duke can not be disturbed-- do you understand? 28711 The bravest?" |
28711 | The deuce you say? 28711 The prize? |
28711 | The ring given me by Siegfried? 28711 The rosiest and roundest, eh? |
28711 | The sand- man was here? |
28711 | Then dost thou confess thy guilt? |
28711 | Then where is it? |
28711 | Then will you fly with me? |
28711 | Think not? |
28711 | This is a good business, eh? |
28711 | Thou hast come to see Turiddu? 28711 Thou, Santuzza? |
28711 | To our spinning? |
28711 | United?--to a strolling fellow like this? |
28711 | Very well, but in this dense wood who can see anything at this time of the night? 28711 Very well, very well, I''ll go first-- but what''s to be done with us now?" |
28711 | We do, we do-- aren''t we British sailors? 28711 Well, Mime, is my head which I pledged to thee, free?" |
28711 | Well, do you call that something new? 28711 Well, good lassies, what can ye do?" |
28711 | Well, it does no good to complain, does it? 28711 Well, what do ye want? |
28711 | Well, what harm? |
28711 | Well, where? |
28711 | Well, why not? 28711 Were you never before at a singing trial?" |
28711 | What about the knight? 28711 What aileth thee?" |
28711 | What am I to do with this Count? 28711 What are you doing here, thief,"cried the black revengeful spirit,"you who took the Rheingold? |
28711 | What are_ you_ about? 28711 What art thou doing there, mother?" |
28711 | What can I tell thee? |
28711 | What can that mean? |
28711 | What can we do? |
28711 | What cry was that? 28711 What do I care for the lustre of gold? |
28711 | What do I see? |
28711 | What do we gather for? 28711 What do ye do here?" |
28711 | What do you mean by that? |
28711 | What do you mean by this? 28711 What do you say?" |
28711 | What do you see, that you sit staring down there into the valley? |
28711 | What does the Queen look like? |
28711 | What does this mean? |
28711 | What for, pray? |
28711 | What for? |
28711 | What for? |
28711 | What for? |
28711 | What good can thy treasures do thee here in this perpetual night? |
28711 | What happened to the handsome knight? |
28711 | What harm? 28711 What has happened to Lady Harriet?" |
28711 | What hast thou done? |
28711 | What hast thou done? |
28711 | What have I to do with a misshapen thing like thee, whose heart is as wicked as its body is ugly? 28711 What if they have gone to the Ilsenstein?" |
28711 | What is all this noise? |
28711 | What is all this strife? |
28711 | What is all this? |
28711 | What is his race? 28711 What is it ye tell me?" |
28711 | What is it? |
28711 | What is that monster pursuing us? |
28711 | What is that so bright and shining? |
28711 | What is that you say? |
28711 | What is that, ye sleek ones,he asked,"that gleams so brightly there?" |
28711 | What is that? |
28711 | What is the race which dwells upon the surface of the earth? |
28711 | What is the secret of this ring? |
28711 | What is the secret of thy ring that a man must forswear love for it? |
28711 | What is the trouble there? |
28711 | What is this that ye tell me? |
28711 | What is this you say? |
28711 | What is thy sister''s name? |
28711 | What is wrong with thee, thou merry dwarf? |
28711 | What is wrong with you? |
28711 | What man has a friend, whose own greatness makes other men feel small? |
28711 | What matters its edge if it be not hard and true? |
28711 | What misfortune has come to Siegfried? |
28711 | What next?--how escape? |
28711 | What path shall we take to avoid the Egyptian soldiers? |
28711 | What prevents some one stealing thy magic ring? 28711 What seek ye here?" |
28711 | What shall I do for thee, Father Wotan? |
28711 | What shall I do, then? |
28711 | What shall I do? 28711 What shall I do?" |
28711 | What sort of place is this? |
28711 | What think ye? 28711 What troubles thee, friend?" |
28711 | What was that dreadful language I heard you use? |
28711 | What was that? |
28711 | What will happen now? |
28711 | What work? |
28711 | What work? |
28711 | What would ye that I become? |
28711 | What wouldst thou do? |
28711 | What!--NEVER? |
28711 | What''s that you say, you ungrateful child? 28711 What''s that? |
28711 | What''s that? |
28711 | What''s that? |
28711 | What''s the matter now? |
28711 | What''s the matter? 28711 What''s this?" |
28711 | What''s this? |
28711 | What, Sir Tristram, is that the extent of your love for me? |
28711 | What, Sir Walther seeks me in singing school? |
28711 | What, as your servants? |
28711 | What, never? |
28711 | What, not a word for me? |
28711 | What, not even the great Duke if he should come to inquire for you? |
28711 | What, what is all this? |
28711 | What, wo n''t she do, Sir Joseph? |
28711 | What, ye speak thus to me, Wotan? 28711 What, you pretend that you can do better than Brander?" |
28711 | What, you? 28711 What, you? |
28711 | What-- a Polish soldier? |
28711 | What-- does he not drink to the Emperor? 28711 What-- never?" |
28711 | What-- the pretty girl I saw in the square? 28711 What-- what?" |
28711 | What-- you do not favour Beckmesser, then? |
28711 | What? 28711 What? |
28711 | What? |
28711 | What? |
28711 | What? |
28711 | What? |
28711 | When I have died, where do I go? |
28711 | Where are Brünnhilde and Gunther? |
28711 | Where art thou, Ortrud? |
28711 | Where do you go, my son? |
28711 | Where does this pretty girl live, your Highness? |
28711 | Where in the world did all of these things come from? |
28711 | Where is now thy fine Loge? |
28711 | Where is she? |
28711 | Where is that strong sword you are to make for me? |
28711 | Where is your home? |
28711 | Which way shall we go? |
28711 | Who are they? |
28711 | Who are you? |
28711 | Who art thou, intruder? |
28711 | Who art thou, whose glances are so fierce? 28711 Who art thou?" |
28711 | Who art thou? |
28711 | Who art thou? |
28711 | Who can shield thee from our father''s wrath, Brünnhilde? |
28711 | Who has heard? |
28711 | Who hath done this wicked thing? |
28711 | Who is it? |
28711 | Who is it? |
28711 | Who is it? |
28711 | Who is that youth, whose faltering feet with difficulty bear him on his course? |
28711 | Who is that? 28711 Who is the Marker?" |
28711 | Who is this man? |
28711 | Who is this woman? |
28711 | Who spoke? |
28711 | Who told thee that? 28711 Who''s there?" |
28711 | Who''s there? |
28711 | Who''s there? |
28711 | Whom have we here? |
28711 | Whose house is this? |
28711 | Why are you in this place? |
28711 | Why did he turn away from us? |
28711 | Why is my armour so heavy, and why does it hurt me so? |
28711 | Why not have these things for thyself? |
28711 | Why not swim down and torment him? |
28711 | Why not? 28711 Why should he know it? |
28711 | Why weep, Inez? |
28711 | Why what should happen? 28711 Why, my child, what is wrong with it? |
28711 | Will no one come? 28711 Will none of you let me finish my song, good friends? |
28711 | Will you go with me? |
28711 | Wilt answer me three questions? |
28711 | Wilt give us the gold for Freïa? |
28711 | Wilt thou not let the condemned prisoner live another day, your highness? |
28711 | Wilt thou not rest, first? |
28711 | With no escort? 28711 With thee-- when Wotan himself has tricked me? |
28711 | Without consulting the Prophet? |
28711 | Ye hear, do ye not, that we are banished? |
28711 | Yes, yes-- where did he go? |
28711 | Yes-- kind and good----"What if the Queen should hear of this? |
28711 | Yet who dares affront the King or resist his will? |
28711 | You are laughing? |
28711 | You are that false rogue, the Spirit of Flame, then? |
28711 | You do n''t care much about me, I should say? |
28711 | You do n''t mean that this tender creature is to clean stables, brother? |
28711 | You have heard-- that I may not sing to win thee? |
28711 | You love me, father? |
28711 | You mean truly, that I may use that song as I like? |
28711 | You say so? 28711 You speak the truth?" |
28711 | You think so? 28711 You think we will acknowledge him as heir to the estates of Huntingdon? |
28711 | You? 28711 Young?" |
28711 | Your daughter? 28711 _ Now_ see what you have done?" |
28711 | (_ preparing to set his foot on the bridge, stops and turns round._) What plaints come hither to me? |
28711 | ... What, oh tell us did she see? |
28711 | After a little she spoke words of comfort to Ortrud:"Hast thou no place to go this night?" |
28711 | Alberich trembled with fear when an awful voice roared in answer:"Who wakes me from my sleep?" |
28711 | All three became ill at ease, but the Princess called the slave girl to her, pretending great affection for her, and said:"Why do you weep, Aïda? |
28711 | Am I governing this prison or are you?" |
28711 | Am I to overwhelm these two with ruin because thy cruel Hunding has come to thee for help? |
28711 | And is there not a maiden?" |
28711 | And who but the God Wotan put the weapon there for thy deliverance? |
28711 | Are n''t you nearly through?" |
28711 | Are we too to leave home and country and fight a people who ne''er harmed us, because of this new comer?" |
28711 | Are you certain of that?" |
28711 | Are you not going to tell me?" |
28711 | Are you on your way to church?" |
28711 | Are you the beauty who is to teach me to be afraid? |
28711 | At morning when she woke and gazed about her, Sorely stricken was she, And what sight do ye think did so confound her? |
28711 | Being a gay little girl, she sang to pass the time:[ Music: Susy little Susy, pray what is the news? |
28711 | But the old woman, surprised and confused at the turn things seemed to be taking, persisted:"How so? |
28711 | But there, what''s grinning so there at me? |
28711 | But when Gods, such as thou, misbehave, what can be expected of mere mortals?" |
28711 | By the way, whom do you think that fellow to be?" |
28711 | Can I do anything for you?" |
28711 | Can you wish me greater ill than this, Princess?" |
28711 | Did he succeed?" |
28711 | Did it ever occur to you that beneath my gay exterior a fearful tragedy may be brewing?" |
28711 | Did not Wotan give one of his to win his wife, Fricka? |
28711 | Did ye not hire to us? |
28711 | Did you hear that?" |
28711 | Do I dream? |
28711 | Do n''t you eat whenever the rest of us do?" |
28711 | Do n''t you understand anything about this business?" |
28711 | Do we not all grow younger?" |
28711 | Do ye never think of that poor child Marguerite, lonely and far away, awaiting thee month after month?" |
28711 | Do ye not hear that she raves about a lover? |
28711 | Do you know anything more about that awful ogress?" |
28711 | Do you not remember me? |
28711 | Do you see that pretty girl? |
28711 | Does n''t the entire universe depend on us for its existence? |
28711 | Dost thou not know the story of the Rheingold? |
28711 | Dost thou remember that many years ago-- fifteen-- a young child was stolen from a noble, by one of thy people?" |
28711 | Eh? |
28711 | Elsa, can you who are so happy, speak harshly to one so forlorn and deserted? |
28711 | Finding him gone and seeing di Luna,"Where hast thou taken him?" |
28711 | Fleet of foot, and clad with neatness, Come and let the master choose; Sweet of temper, all discreetness, Who a prize like this would lose? |
28711 | Florestan? |
28711 | From yourselves have I not heard That he''s fiercer than the pard? |
28711 | Good day to you-- have you any more of that famous wine?" |
28711 | Good- bye?" |
28711 | Hast thou no feeling? |
28711 | Hast thou not a wife, Gunther-- why hast thou none?" |
28711 | Have I not tended thee as my own, and loved thee?" |
28711 | Have you ears? |
28711 | He fell in battle; have you not heard?" |
28711 | He made this known without any help, by singing: Is no succour near at hand? |
28711 | How about that medallion of mine which you have on your neck? |
28711 | How are we to lure him hither?" |
28711 | How can he return and tell Zuniga''s men what has happened? |
28711 | How have you purchased my freedom?" |
28711 | How on earth is a man to make a choice with such confusion all about him?" |
28711 | How thick is the cream?" |
28711 | How, then, would you forge your precious rings?" |
28711 | I am repulsed? |
28711 | I ask her, before thee all, if she will entrust to me her fame?" |
28711 | I declare that I have spoken truly, and who will dare give me the lie?" |
28711 | I find it a very fine fit?" |
28711 | I want to go in----""To see Escamillo----""Why not-- since I love him----""How is that?" |
28711 | I wish the Prince at all the devils; For death nowise I search; What if, to crown my many evils, He should leave me in the lurch? |
28711 | I would find that out from thee; and may I ask who gives me shelter?" |
28711 | I would go if it were not for love of him, but how can I leave him?" |
28711 | If I ever should need thee, where could I address thee?" |
28711 | If the wagoner knew of this, what do you think he would do?" |
28711 | If you will take me along with you as one of you, I may stand a chance of escaping with my life-- what do you say?" |
28711 | In return for a paltry bearskin give to you a ring which I gained in battling with the Dragon?" |
28711 | Is it Rigoletto?" |
28711 | Is it a phantom? |
28711 | Is our Lord, Gunther, in danger?" |
28711 | Is that thy only reason for being lonely? |
28711 | Is the man dead, already, Rocco?" |
28711 | Is there anything new under the sun? |
28711 | Is there no hope?" |
28711 | Is this your taste?" |
28711 | It is Martha----""Yes, is this not enough to prove to thee that I am ready to renounce my rank and station for thee? |
28711 | Know ye not the fate that has overtaken you?" |
28711 | Let us tell our fortunes, eh?" |
28711 | May I not go into the dungeon and look about?" |
28711 | May he count upon the loyalty of all?" |
28711 | My ear caught not the clock''s last chime, And might I beg to ask the time? |
28711 | My friend, whom I have so long believed was dead? |
28711 | Nibble, nibble, mousekin, Who''s nibbling at my housekin? |
28711 | Not in prison?" |
28711 | Now come, old babbler, is this the thing that is to teach me fear-- this thing that spits a bit and lashes about with a clumsy old tail?" |
28711 | Now for thyself?" |
28711 | Now what do you think?--that I can serve you?" |
28711 | Now what is going to happen?" |
28711 | Now what was to be done? |
28711 | Oh where is band so jolly As Robin''s band in their Lincoln green? |
28711 | Oh, bitter is my cup, However could I do it? |
28711 | Pray tell me what you would do in your underground caverns with your forges and smithies if I were to deny you my flame? |
28711 | Pray what do the people know about art? |
28711 | Pray, who ever saw the Queen of the Night?" |
28711 | Put him in chains, my boys,"he says to the rest of the crew,"and Captain-- have you such a thing as a dungeon on board?" |
28711 | Rossini summed up Mozart very properly:"Who is the greatest musician in the world?" |
28711 | See him fishing about in every corner for her? |
28711 | Shall I do the job at once, or wait a bit?" |
28711 | Shall I go with them, or shall I once more wander, flickering, dancing, wavering, glancing-- a Spirit of Flame that shall destroy while others build?" |
28711 | Shall it be wealth, or fame?--what shall it be? |
28711 | Shall it not be so?" |
28711 | Shall this be so?" |
28711 | She shall not be forced; and who sings so well as you?" |
28711 | She started up:"He is coming here-- I shall see him?" |
28711 | Should she let her brother kill him or not? |
28711 | Siegfried knew nothing of gold and power, and so, why should he not willingly hand the treasure over to the Mime? |
28711 | Since I am a wolf''s son, who will believe that I have loving thoughts?" |
28711 | Sir Marker? |
28711 | Sir Tristram? |
28711 | Surely those shoes of yours do not give you trouble so soon?" |
28711 | Surely you can spare a sad and despairing heart? |
28711 | Tell me, stranger, where roams thy father, now?" |
28711 | Tell me, then: What race does Wotan the War- god favour?" |
28711 | That is where the shoe pinches, eh? |
28711 | The cobbler has leather and plenty to spare, Why ca n''t he make the poor goose a new pair?] |
28711 | The fair is on at Richmond----""Well-- it is always on, is n''t it?" |
28711 | The little black villain looked gloatingly upon it; then turning to Wotan and Loge he asked:"What are ye doing in my domain?" |
28711 | Then Alberich, becoming himself again shouted,"Now will you doubt?" |
28711 | Then addressing the little manikin,"Do not hurt us, sir-- and will you tell us who you are?" |
28711 | Then for to- day thou shalt go free-- the bear can eat thee another day?" |
28711 | Then putting his hands to his mouth, he called loudly:"Who''s there?" |
28711 | Then she whispered:"Who cometh?" |
28711 | Then to Hans:"But tell me, dear Hans, was there not one who was his friend? |
28711 | Then who shall find me when I sleep?" |
28711 | There was confusion among the spectators who said among themselves:"Whose wife can Brünnhilde be?" |
28711 | They are going to have a torch- light procession, eh?" |
28711 | They no longer dared carry matters with a high hand, and yet how could they spin? |
28711 | They were speaking in the road:"Do you still love the Duke, my child?" |
28711 | Thinkest thou I go to thy Walhall without Sieglinde? |
28711 | This sounded rather gay, and, before he knew it, Hänsel had joined in: Eia popeia, pray what''s to be done? |
28711 | Tho''the icy wind may blow, Let it rain or let it snow, What in the world care I?] |
28711 | Thou art here?" |
28711 | Thou art looking for miscreants, thou art looking for revenge? |
28711 | Thou darest deride me? |
28711 | Thou darest----""To fight thee? |
28711 | Thou hast no friend in all the world, so when you sleep who shall guard the ring?" |
28711 | Thou who wert the friend of the oppressed, who tried to bring to punishment this very wretch?" |
28711 | Was he going mad? |
28711 | Was there ever so droll a situation? |
28711 | Well, what''s your name, mam?" |
28711 | Wert thou not told to go far away from this place, where you tried so hard to wrong me?" |
28711 | What about it? |
28711 | What about me, pray? |
28711 | What are you here for, Santuzza? |
28711 | What art thou doing here? |
28711 | What blow has served to break thee? |
28711 | What chance has one like you-- a slave-- beside a princess like me? |
28711 | What do they know of the singing master''s rules? |
28711 | What do you charge to kill a noble?" |
28711 | What do you think? |
28711 | What do you want up here?" |
28711 | What does he want here, I should like to know?" |
28711 | What does she mean?" |
28711 | What has happened? |
28711 | What have you done? |
28711 | What have you done?" |
28711 | What if it should be heard of at court?" |
28711 | What if ye got going and could n''t stop?" |
28711 | What in the world can a man do, in such a fix?" |
28711 | What is a''scholar?" |
28711 | What is happening?" |
28711 | What is the use of such as I continuing to live? |
28711 | What is this wicked woman doing here beside thee?" |
28711 | What is to be done?" |
28711 | What is your real name? |
28711 | What lies on her saddle?" |
28711 | What may that be?" |
28711 | What must I sing?" |
28711 | What screams? |
28711 | What shall we do now?" |
28711 | What shall we do? |
28711 | What shall we do?" |
28711 | What shall we do?" |
28711 | What should I do with solder?" |
28711 | What wilt thou, my dear?" |
28711 | What would Costa, autocratic, severe, and quick to take offence, say to such a message delivered by a stage hand? |
28711 | What''s glimmering there in the darkness? |
28711 | What, think you I am a fool? |
28711 | When those two had been united in holy wedlock----?" |
28711 | Where are his lands? |
28711 | Where are the children?" |
28711 | Where can we have got to? |
28711 | Where is the beautiful Gutrune?" |
28711 | Where is this fine sword? |
28711 | Where''s the Duke? |
28711 | Whereupon the crew, which is very punctilious where the truth is concerned, cries:"What, never?" |
28711 | Which of us here has that?" |
28711 | Who are these?" |
28711 | Who are you?" |
28711 | Who is that prisoner?" |
28711 | Who is there who would do that?" |
28711 | Who says so, since I say otherwise?" |
28711 | Who wants her?" |
28711 | Who was my mother, dear father?" |
28711 | Who will hire her?" |
28711 | Who would betray so gentle and trusting a maid?" |
28711 | Who would give them a thought?" |
28711 | Who''ll give me milk and sugar, for bread I have none? |
28711 | Whom seekest thou, hero?" |
28711 | Whom shall we fight? |
28711 | Why are you forever bringing the family name into some ill- sounding affair?" |
28711 | Why are you still awake? |
28711 | Why did ye not kill the young Count when ye fought?" |
28711 | Why do n''t you do as father does-- laugh and make the best of it?" |
28711 | Why does n''t the cook send me some flowers-- or maybe the hostler-- somebody, something new? |
28711 | Why is it not weighty business to- day? |
28711 | Why should Wotan not have the treasure for himself? |
28711 | Why should he not become one of us?" |
28711 | Why should this youth have the most beautiful maiden for a wife, and also a golden treasure that gives him power over us all?" |
28711 | Will that suit you?" |
28711 | Will you give me shelter?" |
28711 | Wilt thou not pity me a little?" |
28711 | Wilt thou not tell me the secret if there is one?" |
28711 | Would he not prevent it? |
28711 | Would not the ring and the treasure of the Rhein thus come into the hands of the Gibichungs?" |
28711 | Wouldst thou take it in exchange for Freïa?" |
28711 | You are still at work?" |
28711 | You ca n''t go back to your company, eh?" |
28711 | You vagabonds-- have you seen anything of a stranger who has passed this way?" |
28711 | You want to fight? |
28711 | You''re hired, do you understand? |
28711 | You''ve got the girl, José?" |
28711 | Your daughter?" |
28711 | [ Music: Ah why recall in misery, What tempests dread have moved me? |
28711 | _ Do_ you suppose we have her fast?" |
28711 | _ Scene III_"Thou sly and slippery knave,"Alberich began pleasantly to address the Mime;"thou wouldst have the ring and the gold, eh?" |
28711 | _ Scene II_"Which is the son of the Gibich?" |
28711 | _ Scene II_"Who art thou?" |
28711 | art thou wounded?" |
28711 | do ye hear nothing?" |
28711 | do you hear that noise in the bushes? |
28711 | do you see her? |
28711 | dost see three strange figures coming along there?" |
28711 | must I lead you?" |
28711 | my own, dear son?" |
28711 | the Prophet is thou? |
28711 | the wife inquired,"and why do you take the broom?" |
28711 | what are you about?" |
28711 | what goings on are these?" |
28711 | who is John?" |
28711 | you wo n''t attend to business?" |
27265 | A gigantic dragon I slew for the ring, and I am to part with it in exchange for the paws of a worthless bear? |
27265 | Already I feel the night of death closing around me, and must I be forced back into life? 27265 Am I alive?..." |
27265 | Am I in the way? |
27265 | Am I, dwarf, in the second instance still to retain my head? |
27265 | Among what heathen have you lived, not to be aware that this is the most holy Good- Friday? 27265 And I would endure it, do you think? |
27265 | And how, my good fellow, shall you accomplish this? |
27265 | And was your father indeed Wolf? |
27265 | And what enemy? |
27265 | And what may the great thing be,the dull august shrew inquires,"that a hero can do which the gods can not, through whose grace alone a hero acts?... |
27265 | And what, Hagen, are we to do after that? |
27265 | And when we have slaughtered the animals, what shall we do? |
27265 | And you I ask, Elsa von Brabant, will you entrust your cause to a champion who shall fight for you under the judgment of God? |
27265 | And you brought away no part of it? |
27265 | And you took from the Hort nothing further? |
27265 | Are we all here? |
27265 | Are you asleep, Hagen, my son? 27265 Are you at your post? |
27265 | Are you concerned for that? |
27265 | Are you not afraid? 27265 Are you not one?" |
27265 | Are you so niggardly?... 27265 Are you the one who killed the swan?" |
27265 | Are you then dead? |
27265 | As a foe? 27265 Ay,--why should you so particularly care?" |
27265 | Beloved, where are your thoughts? |
27265 | But can you not see, there is no more gold? |
27265 | But how, Loge, should I learn the art to shape it? |
27265 | But is he not, by reason of his perjury, reserved for my spear? |
27265 | But my mother spoke the name? |
27265 | But the Serpent- Worm which you slew, a fearsome fellow, was he not? |
27265 | But this drink...falters the appalled girl,"for whom?" |
27265 | But where loiters,he is inquiring,"the one whom God sent to the glory, the greatness of Brabant?" |
27265 | But,remarks Wotan,"of what use is all that wealth in cheerless Nibelheim, where there is nothing to buy?" |
27265 | Can you understand, too, the croaking of these ravens? |
27265 | Dare you to mock me? |
27265 | Dear little Eva, are you making a fool of me? |
27265 | Did I not say so? 27265 Did I order you to fight for the Wälsung?" |
27265 | Did I say anything of the sort? |
27265 | Did my fate, sister, allure you? 27265 Did you gather anything from that torrent of words?" |
27265 | Did you hear his affectionate greeting? |
27265 | Did you hear nothing? 27265 Did you mean the name you spoke for me, who have no name?" |
27265 | Do I find you in this hall which for so long time you have avoided? 27265 Do you acknowledge me as your rightful judge?" |
27265 | Do you ask? 27265 Do you believe so?" |
27265 | Do you doubt my heart? |
27265 | Do you feign not to understand me? |
27265 | Do you forget your mother''s magic? 27265 Do you hear it?" |
27265 | Do you imagine it? 27265 Do you know that road?" |
27265 | Do you know what it is Wotan wills? 27265 Do you know,"he asks further,"whereof you are accused?" |
27265 | Do you not know my wish, when the dread of fulfilling it has kept you afar from my glance? |
27265 | Do you see it, friends,--do you not see it? |
27265 | Do you see me? |
27265 | Do you swear it to me, Hagen, my hero? |
27265 | Does it strike you as judicious? |
27265 | Elsa, have you perfectly understood? |
27265 | Erik, what is it? |
27265 | For you I shall go to this trouble? |
27265 | Friendly bird, I ask you now: will you assist my quest for a good comrade? 27265 Ha, child, dear Evchen, out so late? |
27265 | Ha? 27265 Hagen, what have you done?" |
27265 | Has he broken his word? 27265 Has not a shoe- maker his fill of troubles?" |
27265 | Have you a daughter? |
27265 | Have you finished? 27265 Have you met the ship on the seas,"sings Senta,"blood- red of sail and black of mast? |
27265 | Have you really? |
27265 | Have you taken leave of your senses... with you bond? |
27265 | Heinrich, you?... 27265 Here, in this chair?" |
27265 | Hopelessly, you say? 27265 Horn in hand,--what then?" |
27265 | How dare you venture here, in danger as you are from the hand of every churl? |
27265 | How did my father look? |
27265 | How have I endured it? |
27265 | How now, my lord, what is this you say? 27265 How shall I contrive to teach him fear?" |
27265 | How shall I reward you for so much kindness, powerless and destitute as I am? 27265 How should you have received the ring from him?" |
27265 | How then shall his followers further help him? |
27265 | How you got here? 27265 How-- how could you commit such a wrong?" |
27265 | How? 27265 How?... |
27265 | I am come to look on, not to act,Wotan replies, grandly mild and unruffled;"who shall deny me a wanderer''s right of way?" |
27265 | I ask you, therefore, Friedrich, Count von Telramund, will you, in life and death combat, entrust your cause to the judgment of God? |
27265 | I hear you, harassed spirit; what message have you for my sleep? |
27265 | If Evchen''s voice can strike out the candidate, of what use to me is my supremacy as a master? |
27265 | If I rightly recognise the power,he speaks,"which has brought you to this land, you come to us sent by God?" |
27265 | If I utter it aloud, shall I not be loosing the grasp of my will? |
27265 | If it is an art, why am I unacquainted with it? 27265 If, of your graciousness, you call yourself happy, do you not give to me too the very happiness of Heaven? |
27265 | In the hall of Walhalla shall I find none but the Father of Battles? |
27265 | In the solitary forest, where I lived quiet and at peace, what had I done to you,Ortrud upbraids,"what had I done to you? |
27265 | In what can you fail,speaks Siegfried''s brisk assurance,"if I stand by you?" |
27265 | In what direction shall I go? |
27265 | Is he in trouble? 27265 Is he pursued by the hostile kindred of the maid?" |
27265 | Is it a practical joke you are playing on me? 27265 Is it already the slayer of the dragon?" |
27265 | Is it the effect of tasting the blood? |
27265 | Is it truly yourself? |
27265 | Is she dreaming? |
27265 | Is that your hand? |
27265 | Is this insolence? |
27265 | Is this your manner of hastening to set aright the evil bargain concluded by you? |
27265 | Kurwenal... is it you? 27265 May I not rather go as your groom''s- man? |
27265 | Might not a widower be successful? |
27265 | Mr. Marker, how are you getting on? |
27265 | Must I live? |
27265 | My Kurwenal, you faithful friend, whose loyalty knows no wavering, how shall Tristan ever thank you? 27265 No weapon then can hurt him?" |
27265 | Now where have you barbarian lived,they reply,"never to have heard of the Rhine- gold?" |
27265 | Now, where, Mime, is your loving mate, that I may call her mother? |
27265 | Oh, Elsa, what have you done to me? 27265 Oh, tell me, what shall your child do?" |
27265 | Shall I in Walhalla be greeted gladsomely by a woman? |
27265 | Shall I in Walhalla find Wälse, my own father? |
27265 | Shall I see you again? |
27265 | Shall I see you again? |
27265 | Shall such a braggart go on bragging? 27265 Shall we descend through the Rhine?" |
27265 | Shall we see whether neighbour Sachs be at home? 27265 She is a shrew, no doubt?... |
27265 | Siegfried, winged hero, whence do you come so fast? |
27265 | Siegfried?... 27265 So little do you care for eternal joy?" |
27265 | So you are meditating harm to me? |
27265 | Tell me, Elsa, what have you to impart to me? |
27265 | That curious little bird there, hark, what is he saying to me? |
27265 | That she should open her eyes? |
27265 | The Rhine- daughters, then,speaks wicked Loge,"may look to have their prayer granted?" |
27265 | The Rhine- daughters? |
27265 | The breast heaves with the swelling breath, shall I break the cramping corslet? |
27265 | The danger then is past? 27265 The master- singer?..." |
27265 | The people?... 27265 The reef?..." |
27265 | The ring? 27265 The ring?... |
27265 | The ring?... |
27265 | The stern one has not forgiven? 27265 The sword?..." |
27265 | Then do you tell us, how?... |
27265 | Then it is not far from the world? |
27265 | Then, I ask you, what was my father''s name? |
27265 | This is the place where I am to learn fear? |
27265 | This ring?... |
27265 | Those who threatened me were wicked? 27265 To me-- this? |
27265 | To share the tumult which, insensate, possesses you? 27265 To the Rhine- daughters, I, this ring? |
27265 | Tristan, my lord, are you mocking me? 27265 Tristan, shall I obtain amends? |
27265 | We are not expecting any guest, are we? |
27265 | What I do not own, I shall bestow upon you shameless louts? |
27265 | What about fear? |
27265 | What ails me, coward? 27265 What am I to do?" |
27265 | What am I to think? |
27265 | What are you laughing at me? 27265 What are you prating?" |
27265 | What concern of Master Sachs''s is it on what sort of feet I go? 27265 What delusion is this? |
27265 | What do I see? 27265 What do we see?" |
27265 | What do you require? |
27265 | What do you trouble me with them? |
27265 | What do you want this very day of the sword? |
27265 | What does it matter to you that I should sing? 27265 What does the woman mean?" |
27265 | What dreadful charge is this you bring? |
27265 | What have I heard? |
27265 | What have you to reply to the accusation? |
27265 | What is it, you sleek ones,he asks in awed curiosity,"glancing and gleaming up there?" |
27265 | What is that you say, Wolfram? 27265 What is that? |
27265 | What is that? |
27265 | What is the matter? |
27265 | What is this? |
27265 | What is your name? |
27265 | What makes you look like that? |
27265 | What more do I want? 27265 What the master can not do,"Siegfried aptly retorts,"the apprentice might, if he had always minded him? |
27265 | What was I dreaming,he falters,"of Tristan''s honour?" |
27265 | What was I dreaming,she wonderingly asks,"of indignities to Isolde?" |
27265 | What was my mother''s name? |
27265 | What will you give us, Siegfried, if we find your game for you? |
27265 | What would King Mark say if I were to slay his best servant, the most faithful of his retainers, who won for him crown and land? 27265 What''s this?... |
27265 | What, dear heart, have you so long been concealing from me? 27265 What? |
27265 | What? 27265 What?" |
27265 | What?... 27265 When she had born me, wherefore did she die? |
27265 | Where am I? |
27265 | Where are we? |
27265 | Where are you? 27265 Where do you come from?" |
27265 | Where do you conceal the ring,Brünnhilde presses him,"which you robbed from me?" |
27265 | Where is his lair? |
27265 | Where were my eyes? 27265 Where you are? |
27265 | Wherefore to me this hell which no heaven can deliver me from? 27265 Wherefore?" |
27265 | Which is the son of Gibich? |
27265 | Whither Tristan now departs, will you, Isolde, follow him? 27265 Who I am?" |
27265 | Who are you, dreadful one? 27265 Who are you, tell me, appearing to me, so beautiful and grave?" |
27265 | Who bade you seek the rock? 27265 Who calls me? |
27265 | Who directed you here? |
27265 | Who disturbs my sleep? |
27265 | Who enters the lists as a candidate? 27265 Who is it that has forced his way to me?" |
27265 | Who is the Grail? |
27265 | Who is this unparalleled champion? |
27265 | Who is your father? |
27265 | Who prevented him from beholding the glory of the Grail? |
27265 | Who slew him, whom God Himself held in His care? |
27265 | Who went out?... 27265 Who will match his life against mine?" |
27265 | Who, then, is to be the bridegroom? |
27265 | Whom do you bring, with tokens of mourning, in the dark casket? |
27265 | Whom do you choose for your champion? |
27265 | Whom do you mean? |
27265 | Why did you not help us at that time? |
27265 | Why do I suffer such a mean report of myself? 27265 Why does the horn sound? |
27265 | Why should I, after all? 27265 Why, surely, the Knight?" |
27265 | Why, why, what is that we hear? 27265 Why,"it occurs to Siegfried,"did not you, Hagen, join in the oath?" |
27265 | With broken weapon the coward has fled? |
27265 | Would her glance not blind me? 27265 You all heard,"he proceeds, steeled to severity,"how she promised me never to ask who I am? |
27265 | You find me in straits myself, how should I help others? |
27265 | You have a mind to fresh wine, have you not? 27265 You have it no doubt in safe keeping?" |
27265 | You know me, childish elf? 27265 You know nothing about it, and you are thinking of going from the woods out into the world? |
27265 | You repulsing me? |
27265 | You sing the praise of my love, and wish at the same time to flee from it? 27265 You surely are not having any more trouble with the shoes?" |
27265 | You wanted to come to us? 27265 You were sunk quite under the seat,"laughs Siegfried;"what of great importance did you discover there?" |
27265 | You will keep your hand from the treasure? |
27265 | You will take away then the victory from Siegmund? |
27265 | Your work? |
27265 | (_ Machst mir blauen Dunst?_ Are you blinding me with blue haze?) |
27265 | (_ Machst mir blauen Dunst?_ Are you blinding me with blue haze?) |
27265 | (_ Neidliches Schwert_ is literally"covetable sword") Why must you of old be shattered? |
27265 | --"A beautiful song, and a master- song, how am I to seize the distinction between them?" |
27265 | --"A knight? |
27265 | --"Afflict your heart?..." |
27265 | --"All- merciful God,"exclaims Elsa,"What is the meaning of this?" |
27265 | --"Am I in Cornwall?" |
27265 | --"Am I to bid him come and offer his duty?" |
27265 | --"And I?..." |
27265 | --"And if I should please my audience?" |
27265 | --"And suppose I made use of it?" |
27265 | --"And the other?" |
27265 | --"And yet you are to wear them to- morrow as a bride?" |
27265 | --"And you will give me such a one?" |
27265 | --"And you wish to become a master, off- hand, like that?" |
27265 | --"Are you a poet?" |
27265 | --"Are you a singer?" |
27265 | --"Are you gone mad?" |
27265 | --"Are you moved at last,"he asks kindly,"to open your heart to me?" |
27265 | --"At the instep?" |
27265 | --"At the singing- school, do you mean?" |
27265 | --"Because I used to be fond of carrying you in my arms?" |
27265 | --"Because for an hour I forgot my proper worth,"Radbot''s daughter continues violently,"do you think that I am fit only to crawl before you? |
27265 | --"But my sufferings, Senta, do they no longer move you?" |
27265 | --"But our wind?" |
27265 | --"But the Day must rouse Tristan?" |
27265 | --"But what? |
27265 | --"But yet, suppose your dream contained the magic spell by which you might win over the guild?" |
27265 | --"But you have at least been a''school- frequenter''and a''pupil?''" |
27265 | --"Can I keep from my face the compassion I feel?" |
27265 | --"Can you tell us whether his lineage, his nobility, be well attested? |
27265 | --"Come,"replies Pogner sensibly,"if you have no hopes of the daughter''s regard, how do you come to enter the lists as her suitor?" |
27265 | --"Could he betray me? |
27265 | --"Day- break shall never more frighten us apart?" |
27265 | --"Did I not know it?" |
27265 | --"Did you not see him to- day?" |
27265 | --"Do I understand aright,"asks Kothner;"that we are placed in the hands of the young lady? |
27265 | --"Do you ask me?" |
27265 | --"Do you come as friend or foe?" |
27265 | --"Do you threaten me? |
27265 | --"Don''t you know? |
27265 | --"Elsa, is my voice so strange to you? |
27265 | --"Elsa, what are you daring to do?" |
27265 | --"For him who betrayed me!"--"Tristan?" |
27265 | --"For what reason?" |
27265 | --"From Sachs, perhaps?" |
27265 | --"Give it up?... |
27265 | --"Hans Sachs, my friend?" |
27265 | --"He failed?..." |
27265 | --"Here, at the left?" |
27265 | --"Ho, ho, from finches and tomtits you acquired the art of master- singing?" |
27265 | --"How can you know then that I am to be a bride?" |
27265 | --"How could I prevent it,"says Sachs, not upset apparently by the fearful thought,"if he is successful? |
27265 | --"How did I get here?" |
27265 | --"How is that?" |
27265 | --"How should I know?" |
27265 | --"How should I tie you to me?" |
27265 | --"I may sing it, then?" |
27265 | --"I suppose you call it a biblical lay?" |
27265 | --"I worked on your shoes until late at night,"Sachs disingenuously replies;"is that the sort of consideration one shows an enemy?" |
27265 | --"If you fail, there is still left the expedient of violence."--"Violence?" |
27265 | --"Must the Day rouse Tristan?" |
27265 | --"My flocks?..." |
27265 | --"Nay, did you not hear? |
27265 | --"Nay, it is you, why do you torture me? |
27265 | --"No, the heel."--"What?" |
27265 | --"Not in the contest? |
27265 | --"Of my fathers?" |
27265 | --"Of what, in God''s name, do you accuse me?" |
27265 | --"Oh, Senta,"he goes on, subdued by her shocked amazement, sorrowfully to explain the simple rhetoric of his misstatement,"will you deny it? |
27265 | --"Or perhaps a widower?" |
27265 | --"Ortrud, is it you? |
27265 | --"Say,"the girls continue addressing the unresponding crew,"have you no sweethearts on land? |
27265 | --"Shall I awake?" |
27265 | --"Should I not be moved by the terrible doom of that unhappiest man?" |
27265 | --"Tell us what is implied by your return?" |
27265 | --"The pennant?... |
27265 | --"The ship?... |
27265 | --"The shoe- maker?..." |
27265 | --"Then you have not been?... |
27265 | --"To what land?" |
27265 | --"Unhappy woman?..." |
27265 | --"Was she not yours, whose elect you were? |
27265 | --"We will brave then the threats of the Day?" |
27265 | --"Well, then?" |
27265 | --"Were you not present at the holy festival?" |
27265 | --"What can justify such a hope?" |
27265 | --"What did you swear, lady?" |
27265 | --"What do you mean, too old? |
27265 | --"What do you mean?" |
27265 | --"What do you mean?" |
27265 | --"What do you think, masters,"inquires Kothner, upon this hopeless revelation,"shall I proceed with the questions? |
27265 | --"What does it matter about me?" |
27265 | --"What draught do you mean?" |
27265 | --"What else so meet? |
27265 | --"What enormous difficulty does the matter present?" |
27265 | --"What frightens you so?" |
27265 | --"What have you in mind?" |
27265 | --"What high duty? |
27265 | --"What is it?" |
27265 | --"What is it?" |
27265 | --"What is it?" |
27265 | --"What is it?" |
27265 | --"What is that?" |
27265 | --"What is the good? |
27265 | --"What king?" |
27265 | --"What land?" |
27265 | --"What man is that?" |
27265 | --"What manner of man are you?" |
27265 | --"What other road can we take?" |
27265 | --"What road do you mean?" |
27265 | --"What should I know?" |
27265 | --"What was it then that brought you back?" |
27265 | --"What would you give to know? |
27265 | --"What would your answer be?" |
27265 | --"What, Sachs? |
27265 | --"What, so unconditionally? |
27265 | --"What, the Marker? |
27265 | --"What--"the sick man asks after a vague glance,"what was the sound I heard?" |
27265 | --"Where am I?" |
27265 | --"Who is it? |
27265 | --"Who is the Marker?" |
27265 | --"Who lied?" |
27265 | --"Why exactly alike?" |
27265 | --"Will you renounce your extravagant imaginings?" |
27265 | --"Woe, what have you done?" |
27265 | --"Yes,"Sachs owns, amused;"Was that it?" |
27265 | --"You acknowledge then your guilt?" |
27265 | --"You believe so? |
27265 | --"You bestow the sheet on me then outright?" |
27265 | --"You see? |
27265 | --"You shrink from me?" |
27265 | --"You shrink from the wound which yourself you made, the madness of love you inspired? |
27265 | --"You would be glad of a mistress in the house?" |
27265 | --"You, lost to me?" |
27265 | --"Younger than I, too?... |
27265 | --"_Ach_, master,"she exclaims,"do you know better than I where my shoe pinches me?" |
27265 | --Not a god, Wotan?--"What are you come, wild and turbulent spirit, to disturb the Wala''s sleep? |
27265 | ... Are you flowers?" |
27265 | A burning chill shakes your frame, your senses swim and fail; the alarmed heart trembling in your breast hammers to the point of bursting? |
27265 | A murmur runs through the assembly:"What ails her? |
27265 | A shepherd looks over the wall and, after a moment watching, calls to Kurwenal, asking if_ he_ does not yet awake? |
27265 | After that, how dare he trust her? |
27265 | Alberich turns an angry eye upon the intruders:"What do you want?" |
27265 | Already at work?" |
27265 | Am I misled by a dream? |
27265 | Am I never to hear them, never to see them more?" |
27265 | Am I not from any one of you to have a hearing?" |
27265 | Amazement reigns among master- singers and people:"A song of Sachs''s? |
27265 | And do you make it into a reproach to him? |
27265 | And do you now haughtily demand precedence of me, you, the wife of a man convicted by God?" |
27265 | And do you, finding no mercy anywhere, come seeking love now in my arms?" |
27265 | And have I understood at last what it is you want of me?... |
27265 | And how can he, poor belaboured wretch, find the necessary peace of mind to compose a new one? |
27265 | And if my heart breaks with its misery, tell me, Senta, who is there will speak a word for me?" |
27265 | And if through him you are to we d Mark, how should you find fault with the choice? |
27265 | And is not your neighbour to have something too? |
27265 | And is that what will be Brünnhilde''s prophesied world- delivering act? |
27265 | And music is shed from this luminous ascending form...."Am I alone to hear it?" |
27265 | And shall I see the daughter this very day?" |
27265 | And she speaks, to herself, half- aloud:"Have I sunk into a wonderful dream? |
27265 | And the raw boy, acquitting himself rather neatly for such a beginner:"Ought I not to have beaten them? |
27265 | And this, who could conquer it back? |
27265 | And was he admitted?" |
27265 | And what does this teach-- but that one must be great? |
27265 | And when in his effort to grasp the situation exactly he continues asking questions, she answers his interrogative:"The bride then chooses?..." |
27265 | And you, Senta, how should I count upon you? |
27265 | Approach me not with ardent approach.... Constrain me not with shattering constraint.... Have you not seen your own image in the clear stream? |
27265 | Are the liquor and the feast to be solely for you?" |
27265 | Are they your eyes? |
27265 | Are they your lips? |
27265 | Are they_ good runes_ which I read in her eye?..." |
27265 | Are you a bird or a fox?" |
27265 | Are you a mortal? |
27265 | Are you afraid of a song, a picture?" |
27265 | Are you alone?" |
27265 | Are you asleep and deaf to my voice, whom sleep and rest have forsaken?" |
27265 | Are you mad?" |
27265 | Are you not coming on board yourselves?" |
27265 | Are you not my enemy?" |
27265 | Are you planning flight? |
27265 | Are you so bold as, unabsolved, to have let your feet take the road to this region?" |
27265 | Are you there?... |
27265 | Are you, too, a flower in this garden of flowers?" |
27265 | As he revives a little, he asks faintly:"Shall I be taken to- day to Amfortas?" |
27265 | As he said in answer to Kothner, what should be put into his song unless the essence of all he had known and lived? |
27265 | As he turns to the door she detains him with the quick cry:"What pursues you, that you should thus flee?" |
27265 | As she is moving towards the hut, he asks:"Have you no word for me? |
27265 | At the end of the second verse, the masters inquire of one another,"What does it mean? |
27265 | At the greeting he speaks from the threshold to the"wise smith,"Mime starts up in affright:"Who is it, pursuing me into the forest wilderness?" |
27265 | At the sound of Elsa''s voice calling:"Ortrud, where are you?" |
27265 | At the spectacle of his emotion, Wolfram turns to the Landgrave:"Have I your leave, my lord, to be the herald to him of his good fortune?" |
27265 | At this she recovers her voice to hurl at him startlingly:"I-- to Gunther?... |
27265 | Because you are blind, do you believe the eyes of the world dulled to your actions and his?" |
27265 | Before starting upon a new voyage, he is sure to wish to carry out what he so often has spoken of..."--"And what is that?" |
27265 | Brünnhilde''s madness clamours to heaven:"Did you appoint this in your councils? |
27265 | But how can you, Mime, bring it about?" |
27265 | But how should I have promised to perform the impossible?" |
27265 | But how should I hope to grasp that which struck me as illimitable? |
27265 | But never should I be audacious to the point of boasting that so fine a song had been written by me, Hans Sachs."--"What?... |
27265 | But she, how should she in this moment not promise whatever he asked or do whatever be required? |
27265 | But speak, you went on the pilgrimage to Rome?" |
27265 | But tell me the truth, old friend, what has happened to our master?" |
27265 | But to- day, at her father''s"the master of your choice"she wistfully inquires,"Dear father,_ must_ it be a master?" |
27265 | But you? |
27265 | But,"How shall we find him?" |
27265 | But,--he suddenly holds in, and puckers his forehead,--if this were a trap? |
27265 | But-- may I ask what is the cargo of your ship?" |
27265 | But... this information he desires of me-- How am I to say it? |
27265 | Ca n''t you hear?" |
27265 | Can I believe myself at last delivered from them, since I hear once more the rustle of this forest, and behold you, worthy elder? |
27265 | Can I waken the bride?" |
27265 | Can it be fact?" |
27265 | Can it be that your secret is of such a nature that your lip must keep it from the whole world? |
27265 | Can it be truth? |
27265 | Can the voice of deepest pity deceive? |
27265 | Can this be true, this which seems like the most madly impossible of beautiful dreams? |
27265 | Can you fail to prize and honour the man? |
27265 | Cast it from me?" |
27265 | Certainly, he wrested a ring from this woman, in the twilight.... What became of it?... |
27265 | Could I endure the light?..." |
27265 | Could any doubt be more culpable than that which should disturb my faith in you? |
27265 | Could anything be easier? |
27265 | Could you forever give yourself to me? |
27265 | Dare you lay hands on Gutrune''s inheritance?" |
27265 | Did I not say she lived and knit me still to life? |
27265 | Did he not find among the masters a single friend?" |
27265 | Did he sing so badly, so faultily, that there is no possibility more of his becoming a master?" |
27265 | Did not my hero overcome your husband by the power of God in singular combat? |
27265 | Did you find rest? |
27265 | Did you instruct him to some purpose? |
27265 | Discontented so soon with being a god? |
27265 | Do I deserve, Senta, such a welcome?" |
27265 | Do I find you here? |
27265 | Do I hear the light?" |
27265 | Do I hold you close? |
27265 | Do human mothers always die of their sons? |
27265 | Do n''t you know that?" |
27265 | Do our ears deceive us?" |
27265 | Do you call your own cowardice God?" |
27265 | Do you come from Hella''s army of the night?" |
27265 | Do you create ignominy for me such as never was endured? |
27265 | Do you dare to brave us? |
27265 | Do you ever grant one of my requests? |
27265 | Do you grudge me the dear sound of yours? |
27265 | Do you hear? |
27265 | Do you imagine that she, who ponders all things so sagely, has sent me void of counsel along with you to a strange land?" |
27265 | Do you impose upon me sufferings such as never were suffered? |
27265 | Do you intend to dream away your whole young life before that portrait?" |
27265 | Do you know how this came to be?..." |
27265 | Do you know what the fate is of that poor soul?" |
27265 | Do you make no distinction between the night and the day?" |
27265 | Do you need lights? |
27265 | Do you not daily hurt and afflict my heart?" |
27265 | Do you not hear jubilant music?" |
27265 | Do you not hear me?... |
27265 | Do you not know her power, her miracles? |
27265 | Do you not know the Lady of Love? |
27265 | Do you not know what holy day it is?" |
27265 | Do you not recognise the castle of your fathers.?" |
27265 | Do you not see her yet?... |
27265 | Do you not see it?... |
27265 | Do you not smell exquisite odours?... |
27265 | Do you not wish to come and dance on the friendly shore?" |
27265 | Do you punish me so with ruthless sentence? |
27265 | Do you refuse to drink to our peace- making?" |
27265 | Do you refuse to remember that day when you called me to you in the valley? |
27265 | Do you remember how from the steep rocks on the shore we watched your father departing? |
27265 | Do you see her again?" |
27265 | Do you see her self?" |
27265 | Do you see her?... |
27265 | Do you see not the light?... |
27265 | Do you shut your heart to my complaint?... |
27265 | Do you wish to make me really cross?" |
27265 | Do you wish to question me?" |
27265 | Do you wish to waken my father? |
27265 | Do you, in such stress of weather, deny me anchorage?" |
27265 | Does his lordship,"to Walther,"choose a sacred subject?" |
27265 | Earnestly she asks this other guest:"Is your name in very truth Wehwalt?" |
27265 | Elizabeth? |
27265 | Elsa shrinks back a little, murmuring,"Disaster?" |
27265 | Everything looks changed....""What road is it you seek?" |
27265 | Fine?... |
27265 | First: What race reigns in the depths of the earth? |
27265 | For a full year he has been learning, and how far does Walther suppose he has got? |
27265 | From the world which for me contains her only, how should Isolde have departed?" |
27265 | From whence the river brought him and whither he will go when he leaves? |
27265 | Go then and ask himself, the presumably free man, whether he dare to venture near me? |
27265 | God knows how it all came about?" |
27265 | Good care have you taken of a young fellow-- not so?--who cunningly shall pluck the fruit which you dare not yourself break off?" |
27265 | Gunther''s mediocrity and his sense of it stand ingenuously confessed in his question:"Is my courage sufficient for the test?" |
27265 | Gurnemanz approaches him hopefully:"Well, did you understand what you saw?" |
27265 | Gutrune catches her breath:"Deceit?..." |
27265 | Gutrune''s husband?" |
27265 | Had it not been that which was forcing tears from him at the moment of the Wanderer''s arrival? |
27265 | Had you ever seen us before?" |
27265 | Hardly might such music come from_ her!_"--"Who are you, pilgrim, wandering thus alone?" |
27265 | Has Wotan''s disposition softened toward me? |
27265 | Has a water- sprite bothered you?... |
27265 | Has he gone mad? |
27265 | Has he lost his senses? |
27265 | Has he smirched Gunther''s honour?" |
27265 | Has he so soon forgotten the old unhappiness? |
27265 | Has it not gladdened you, glad one? |
27265 | Has the world condemned and rejected you? |
27265 | Has your ship sustained damage?" |
27265 | Have I Wotan''s oath?" |
27265 | Have I here your hand? |
27265 | Have I here your heart? |
27265 | Have I hit the mark? |
27265 | Have I the hardihood? |
27265 | Have I waked for this? |
27265 | Have you come to pasture your sight upon my bliss, to share that which has befallen me?" |
27265 | Have you fallen into the unrest of doubt? |
27265 | Have you finished? |
27265 | Have you never been to a song- trial?" |
27265 | Have you no letters, no commissions for shore? |
27265 | Have you succumbed to the curse?" |
27265 | Haye you forgotten so soon? |
27265 | He drops privately to Hagen his interpretation of the friend''s gloom:"Brünnhilde is giving him trouble?" |
27265 | He goes quietly to the woman and asks:"What trouble burdens Brünnhilde''s gaze?" |
27265 | He has come forth victorious from the encounter?" |
27265 | He is stopped by the Wanderer''s voice:"Whither, boy, does your way lead you?" |
27265 | He is willing to win an advantage by a deception, let him follow his head, why should honest Sachs be tender of him? |
27265 | He tries by questions to complete the dwarf''s bare account:"Whence am I named Siegfried?" |
27265 | He turns quickly, inquiring naïvely,"Do you mean me?" |
27265 | He turns upon her a vaguely pleased wonder:"Who is afraid of me? |
27265 | He watches them, smiling, and replies in their own vein:"Have you charmed into your dwellings the shaggy fellow who disappeared from my sight? |
27265 | He, too?... |
27265 | Heartbreak much more than resentment stamps Brünnhilde''s cry:"Where is my wisdom against this enigma? |
27265 | Heinrich, Heinrich, what had you done to me?" |
27265 | Her heart- broken murmur:"Siegfried.... knows me not?" |
27265 | Here is one who does not know fear; can he learn it from you?" |
27265 | Here shall you never prevail!--Tell me, Elsa,"he bends over her tearful face,"tell me that she tried vainly to drop her venom into your heart?" |
27265 | Here we are with our weapons.... Hagen, what danger threatens? |
27265 | Hey, David, are n''t you coming?" |
27265 | His sword was well- tested and was feared-- But yours, tell me, who that is present knows him? |
27265 | His voice comes very faint:"The ancient tune.... what does it wake me?" |
27265 | His voice is heard, faint, from his hiding- place:"Is it you, child? |
27265 | How can this be an agent of Heaven''s at all? |
27265 | How can you ask? |
27265 | How can you stultify yourself till you neither can see nor hear? |
27265 | How come they in my house?" |
27265 | How could I suppose it was a source of affliction to you?" |
27265 | How could I, poor wretch, believe that my faithful devotion would suffice you? |
27265 | How did you derive the meaning of his song?" |
27265 | How did you know what was weighing on my heart?" |
27265 | How is it that after all the troubles between us you are to- day kindly disposed toward me?" |
27265 | How shall I bring this fear to an end? |
27265 | How shall I find the way to her rock?" |
27265 | How shall I gain back my courage? |
27265 | How shall he, Beckmesser, avoid a disappointment, a public defeat? |
27265 | How should I avoid the realm which lies about the whole world? |
27265 | How should I be able to attach Siegfried to me?" |
27265 | How should you grasp it, unfeeling maid? |
27265 | How then can I the most quickly spend and scatter all my strength and blood in gratitude to you?" |
27265 | How then should it fare but ill with me? |
27265 | How will he obtain the Ring for me? |
27265 | How"--he faintly wails, with a beginning of restlessness--"how have I lost the sense of it? |
27265 | How, in the brilliant light of the Day, how could Isolde be mine?" |
27265 | How, my precious child, should you not care for them? |
27265 | How, now, shall I hide my endangered head? |
27265 | How, she asks him, very humanly, how could he do to her the thing he did, betray her as he had done, claim her for another, give her over to death? |
27265 | How?..." |
27265 | I am awake.... Who is the hero that has awakened me?" |
27265 | I believe I have finally succeeded, eh? |
27265 | I feel as if I were dreaming-- He wishes to know whether I am already betrothed?" |
27265 | I gave him none.... Are you sure that is the one?" |
27265 | I might, after a life of torment, find in your truth the long craved- for peace?" |
27265 | I shall have something further to communicate to you then, a message which a certain person charged me with privately."--"Who?.. |
27265 | I speak rightly, do I not, in calling you lovely?" |
27265 | I will avenge you on him who betrayed you....""On whom?..." |
27265 | I would not fall upon them all, sword in hand?" |
27265 | If I am chosen as your champion, will you without doubt or fear entrust yourself to my protection?" |
27265 | If I should forsake the helm at this moment, how could I safely guide the keel to King Mark''s land?" |
27265 | If Tristan then has betrayed me, am I to hope that my honour, which his treason has struck at, has been loyally defended by Melot?" |
27265 | If he be protected by supernal power, of what use to you is your gallant sword?" |
27265 | If it troubles you, how should it leave me untroubled? |
27265 | If the master- singers''verdict then does not agree with hers, how is it to operate?" |
27265 | If then you apply to the question a grateful mind: how can that art be of no account which holds such prizes? |
27265 | If we punish her husband so, with what face shall we stand before her?" |
27265 | If you are the wisest woman in the world, tell me now: how shall the god overcome that care?" |
27265 | In Morold''s lifetime who had ventured to offer us such an affront? |
27265 | In the cold hollow where you lay shivering, how would you have had light and cheering warmth, if Loge had never laughed for you?..." |
27265 | In the silence of recollection which falls upon all, a voice is heard, as if from the grave:"My son Amfortas, are you at your post?" |
27265 | Is Gunther in need of us?" |
27265 | Is Gutrune awake?" |
27265 | Is he among the pardoned? |
27265 | Is he hard pressed by the foe?" |
27265 | Is it I? |
27265 | Is it a case for rejoicing? |
27265 | Is it a delusion? |
27265 | Is it chagrin to see the greyness of age creeping over Wotan?" |
27265 | Is it no dream? |
27265 | Is it no fancy? |
27265 | Is it not a higher duty still to observe that which you once swore to me,--eternal constancy?"--"What?..." |
27265 | Is it not holiday- time for you, too?" |
27265 | Is it one whom verily she need fear? |
27265 | Is it possible,"he cries despairingly,"that you do not see it yet?" |
27265 | Is it possible? |
27265 | Is it possible? |
27265 | Is it the force of thy sighs which fills my sails?" |
27265 | Is it the influence of the holy day?" |
27265 | Is it true?" |
27265 | Is it you again, unforgotten longing, driving me back to the light of the day? |
27265 | Is it you, singing about love, grim wolf? |
27265 | Is it you? |
27265 | Is it your mind to disclaim all acquaintance with the wretch whom you have driven forth to exile and misery?" |
27265 | Is my saying dark to you? |
27265 | Is not he Tristan''s dearest friend? |
27265 | Is not the best afforded by kitchen and cellar, cupboard and store- room, deserving of any gratitude whatever?" |
27265 | Is she out of her mind?" |
27265 | Is that the bearing of arrogance? |
27265 | Is this fear? |
27265 | Is this love?... |
27265 | Is this my thanks for having waked you once more out of the sleep of death?" |
27265 | Is this which I see an illusion? |
27265 | Is your home here in the forest?..." |
27265 | Isolde inquires, reached in her trance by the clamour;"Brangaene, what cry is that?" |
27265 | It grows, it swells, it penetrates, uplifts.... And what is this enfolding her? |
27265 | It is an answer, this enigmatic pledge, to her wistful question:"What have you to say to me?" |
27265 | It is the soft purling of the fountain whose music comes so sweetly borne to us; how could I hear it, if hunting- horns were still blaring near by? |
27265 | Its beam scorches the heart within my breast-- Gunther, what is your sister''s name?... |
27265 | Joining the stranger ashore,"Who are you?" |
27265 | Kothner passes thereupon to the question:"Of what master are you a disciple?" |
27265 | Kothner proceeds without comment to the next question:"In what school did you learn to sing?" |
27265 | Kurwenal, do you not see it?" |
27265 | Let us see, now, what it attracts this time, whether a dear comrade will come to the call?" |
27265 | Loge returning his attention to the gods, voices his amazement at the sight which meets him:"Am I deceived by a mist? |
27265 | May he not be permitted, after the fight, to refresh the victor with a drink? |
27265 | May they not also be hungering for redemption now?... |
27265 | Melot steps forward and points at him:"You shall now tell me,"he speaks to Mark,"whether I rightfully accused him? |
27265 | Melot? |
27265 | Might he be a confederate of Melot''s?" |
27265 | Mime becomes cross:"What has come over you, mad boy? |
27265 | Mime watches him, and at this which looks like folly, can not restrain the exclamation:"What are you doing? |
27265 | Murmurs fly from one to the other:"What? |
27265 | Must I add more still to my overflowing praise? |
27265 | Must I count the days during which I still may keep you? |
27265 | Must I lend a hand? |
27265 | Must I, indeed?... |
27265 | Must I?" |
27265 | Must she give up her hopes because of him? |
27265 | My beauty, is it possible, has brought surfeit?" |
27265 | My heart with its unchanging love, my humble fortune, my hunter''s luck, these things being all I have to offer, will not your father repulse me? |
27265 | My sorrows, is it possible, have moved you to such deep compassion?" |
27265 | Nay, but can you?" |
27265 | No competition- song?" |
27265 | No embrace? |
27265 | No kiss? |
27265 | No sooner has Magdalene caught sight of him than she becomes absent- minded, and when Eva urges,"What am I to tell him? |
27265 | Nothing beside do you deem of high value?" |
27265 | Now you see her in person, does she rightly please you? |
27265 | Now, if I intend to offer myself as a suitor for her to- morrow, can you not see how I might be destroyed by her not taking kindly to my song? |
27265 | Now, if the Marker go on lover''s feet, how should he not yield to the temptation of bringing a rival to derision before the assembled school?" |
27265 | Now, what is wrong with it?" |
27265 | Of great lineage and gentle nature, where is his equal in power and splendour? |
27265 | Of what avail to me is the treasure? |
27265 | Of what use to you would be the strongest sword, if you had no knowledge of fear?... |
27265 | Oh, eternal sleep, only balm, how, how shall I win you?" |
27265 | Oh, tell me, how long is it that I hear them no more? |
27265 | Oh, when, pale sea- farer, when shall you find her? |
27265 | Open your eyes.... Who sealed you again in sleep?... |
27265 | Or am I still baffled in my search for the right road? |
27265 | Or have I until this moment lived in a world of dream, and is this the day of awakening? |
27265 | Or is there danger in it?... |
27265 | Or renewed battle?" |
27265 | Or why, she asks, when that counsel is rejected, why does he not, still mote aptly, consult Brünnhilde, wise child of Wotan and Erda? |
27265 | Or, is the latter act Brünnhilde''s supreme vengeance? |
27265 | Or, was I actuated peradventure-- by vanity?" |
27265 | Or,--this seems more likely,--an act of supreme benevolence, the result of at last understanding"everything, everything, everything!"? |
27265 | Or-- how? |
27265 | Ortrud listens till it has died away; then asks, with cold quiet:"What makes you waste yourself in these wild complaints?" |
27265 | Ought not on this day everything which blooms and breathes to be steeped in mourning and tears?" |
27265 | Passionately you clung to him, and kissed him ardently...."--"And then?" |
27265 | Pogner''s courtesy interferes:"One word, friend Marker, are you not out of temper?" |
27265 | Reproachful questions succeed on her part: Of what neglect has her love been guilty, of what can he accuse her? |
27265 | Restoring the Ring to the Rhine, thus saving the world definitely from Alberich and the army of the night? |
27265 | Sachs looks up, joyfully surprised, at her greeting:"Good- evening, master; still so diligent?" |
27265 | Sachs still excuses himself;"How should so much honour accrue to me? |
27265 | Sachs, what you say is nonsense.... Are the rules of art to be set aside for the people?" |
27265 | Scarce arrived in Nuremberg, were you not hospitably received? |
27265 | Scornfully calm and cold as before,"Friedrich, you Count of Telramund, for what reason,"she asks,"do you distrust me?" |
27265 | Second: What race rests upon the back of the earth? |
27265 | Senta answers gently, still without taking her eyes from the pale face:"Why did you tell me who he is, and relate his story?... |
27265 | Shall I go in?..." |
27265 | Shall I guide you?" |
27265 | Shall I lend myself to gibes of the sort? |
27265 | Shall I look upon the Grail once more and live?" |
27265 | Shall Siegmund clasp Sieglinde there?" |
27265 | Shall the bride and sister accompany the brother? |
27265 | Shall you endure this outrage?" |
27265 | She considers this quietly:"Day and death then with a simultaneous stroke shall overtake our love?" |
27265 | She does not hear this time the sailor at the topmast singing over again the song she had before resented;"O Irish maid, where tarriest thou? |
27265 | She presses fondly against this unaccountably humble- minded mistress:"What are you dreaming, perverse one? |
27265 | She presses rapid questions upon her:"You dared then for love of Brünnhilde brave Walvater''s commandment? |
27265 | She, indeed, asks him, does he not fear?... |
27265 | Siegfried interrupts Mime''s meditations;"what is the name of the sword which I have ground into filings?" |
27265 | Siegfried''s love- token? |
27265 | Siegfried, however, replies:"What do I know? |
27265 | Siegmund gazes quietly and long and inquiringly into her eyes, and:"The hero who must follow you, whither do you take him?" |
27265 | Since the men are all your adherents, who is to smite Tristan?" |
27265 | So higgling at a bargain?... |
27265 | So late at night?" |
27265 | So long as the tailor has done his work successfully, who ever will divine where I suffer inconvenience, where secretly my shoe pinches me?" |
27265 | So you too were driven by the hurricane on to the bare rocky coast? |
27265 | So, from the question,"Who prompted you to attack the strong Worm?" |
27265 | Some one of great consequence, I suppose?" |
27265 | Some sketch of a project for winning her it must be prompting his next words:"Have you, Gunther, a wife?" |
27265 | Speak to me again, charming singer: shall I break through the fiery wall? |
27265 | Speak, Senta, should you be sorry that the stranger should dwell with us?" |
27265 | Starting awake at the ring of her own words, she laughs unpleasantly and, turning to Brangaene:"What do you think of the lackey yonder?" |
27265 | Still up? |
27265 | Surely you are thirsty?" |
27265 | Suspiciously he observes him:"I do not like him.... What is he doing here? |
27265 | Tell me now who it was that sought for election?" |
27265 | Tell me now, what little corner in it do you intend as a kennel for me?" |
27265 | Tell me, did you not go to Rome?" |
27265 | Tell me, does it still hurt?" |
27265 | Tell me, how does he impress you?" |
27265 | Tell me, whence are you come? |
27265 | Tell me, you soul of courage, have you learned fear?" |
27265 | That crazy rubbish? |
27265 | That is for my precious treasure, but first, quick, tell me, what success had the Knight? |
27265 | That is one of the suitors? |
27265 | That is where the surf rages, the ships founder.... Who is at the helm?" |
27265 | That one? |
27265 | That unhappy woman at your side?" |
27265 | That which he promised-- what? |
27265 | That which thrilled me at the pressure of your hand, tell me, was it not the assurance of your constancy?" |
27265 | The King''s herald asks if the court of justice shall be held on the spot? |
27265 | The Knight has caught sight of him and is instantly at Elsa''s side, crying astonished,"Elsa, with whom are you conversing?" |
27265 | The Knight?" |
27265 | The Marker in my power? |
27265 | The Rhine, with its infesting nymphs?... |
27265 | The cleverer brother asks Loge,"What great advantage is involved in the possession of the gold, that the Nibelung should find it all- sufficient?" |
27265 | The conscience- smitten girl flings her arms around him again:"Oh, Sachs, my friend, oh, noble heart, how can I ever repay you? |
27265 | The dreadful, deep, undiscoverable, thrice- mysterious reason,--who will reveal it to the world?" |
27265 | The evil wound, how to heal it? |
27265 | The father smiles:"You are eager to know? |
27265 | The guest whom I once helped to nurse...?" |
27265 | The light... when will it go out?... |
27265 | The masters exchange glances:"Anoble?... |
27265 | The new shoes?" |
27265 | The one who is waiting for me in the hushed night, are you determined to keep him away from me as if horns were still close at hand?" |
27265 | The pennant?" |
27265 | The possession of it will doom you to dark ruin...."Wotan, struck, inquires in awe,"Who are you, warning woman?" |
27265 | The question he proposes is: How may a rolling wheel be arrested in its course? |
27265 | The quickly roused suspicion of the crowd takes up Brünnhilde''s word:"Treachery?... |
27265 | The song is yours? |
27265 | The sullen glow which I feel burning in my breast, should I, unhappy man, call it love? |
27265 | The terror which drove me forth from Walhalla, drives me back thither....""What has happened to the eternal gods?" |
27265 | The unhappy man whom a potent dreadful enchantment holds bound, what, shall he never come to Heaven through repentance and expiation in this world? |
27265 | The words penetrate through Isolde''s absorption; she starts up in sudden fury, crying:"Who dares to mock me?" |
27265 | The wound,--where? |
27265 | Then Gunther inquires whom should he we d that lustre might be added to the glory of the House? |
27265 | Then, say, who am I, that you should be surly? |
27265 | There is some sternness apparently in Hunding''s tone as he inquires:"Have you offered him refreshment?" |
27265 | There was no way then by which he might have been saved? |
27265 | These treasures?--But who is so rich as to have an equivalent to tender?"--"Equivalent? |
27265 | They adopt with him the playful, teasing tone of pretty girls with a likely- looking young fellow:"What are you grumbling into the ground?.... |
27265 | They vent themselves in such childish, fond, incredulous exclamations as: Is it you yourself? |
27265 | Third: What race dwells on the cloudy heights? |
27265 | This sorrow which burns within my bosom, this going out of desire toward him, what must I call it? |
27265 | This, Tristan, to me? |
27265 | Threaten a woman?" |
27265 | To what destiny?... |
27265 | To what purpose, any expression of mine? |
27265 | To whom?..." |
27265 | Tristan asks, dazed:"Who approaches?" |
27265 | Tristan by a great effort brings his mind to consider these sounds, and with great effort speaks:"Who... calls me?" |
27265 | Tristan murmurs,"Do you not see it yet?" |
27265 | Unloved? |
27265 | Upon the last note of it, he addresses the shoe- maker with what sickly civility he can summon:"How is this, master? |
27265 | Upon which thought naturally follows the other:"The victor whom I now must fall back upon, who knows if my child will care for him? |
27265 | Wanderer, with a laugh for his antics, felicitates him:"The most keen- witted are you among the wise; who can equal you in acuteness? |
27265 | Was he made a master?" |
27265 | Was it not he who considered that I went too far? |
27265 | Was it not your testimony, your report, which induced me to accuse that innocent girl? |
27265 | Was it too small a reward that the King had made him his heir? |
27265 | Was it your father? |
27265 | Was not that question the very hub around which turned all his troubled reflections? |
27265 | What about fear?" |
27265 | What ails Fricka? |
27265 | What are wounds from your swords beside the death- stroke I have received from him?" |
27265 | What are you doing here, unhappy woman?" |
27265 | What bargain concluded by me?..." |
27265 | What brings you in this neighbourhood? |
27265 | What can there be but warfare forever between him and them? |
27265 | What do you think of her as a wife? |
27265 | What draught was that?" |
27265 | What else have I forgotten? |
27265 | What enemy is near? |
27265 | What falsehoods did the evil Day tell you, that you should betray the faithful one, who had preferred you?" |
27265 | What force so quickly prevailed with you to make you break this devoted heart? |
27265 | What good will it do? |
27265 | What have you forged and furbished to- day?" |
27265 | What have you to say to me?" |
27265 | What idle raving? |
27265 | What if this dream now should contain a hint how you may to- day be made a master?" |
27265 | What imp excites your ire?... |
27265 | What is he doing so late at night?" |
27265 | What is it rushing so wildly through my heart and senses?... |
27265 | What is it, tell me, makes you so unhappy? |
27265 | What makes men brave? |
27265 | What more do you require of the masters?... |
27265 | What more is necessary?" |
27265 | What proper work can you do now?" |
27265 | What security for you can I hold?" |
27265 | What shall the wages be? |
27265 | What success with the sword?" |
27265 | What suspicion darkens your mind?" |
27265 | What sword now must Siegfried wield, if he is to deal death to Fafner?" |
27265 | What unholy power swept you along? |
27265 | What was the purpose, she asks, of that provision made by her mother for their assistance in a strange land? |
27265 | What were I, without you? |
27265 | What, indeed, have I ever remembered? |
27265 | What, is he so soon weary of the marvels with which her love surrounds him? |
27265 | What, the question asks itself, what is this still familiar surrounding scene, when they ought, by true working of the drug, to be dead? |
27265 | What, you poverty- stricken wight-- what pleasure of love may have fallen to your share? |
27265 | What-- never return? |
27265 | Whatever debt of gratitude Sir Tristan owes you, tell me, could he better repay it than with the most magnificent of crowns? |
27265 | When Tristan is forced to keep afar from her, with whom does he spend the time but Sir Melot? |
27265 | When a man undertakes a course out of the usual, how should he accept advice?... |
27265 | When he stops at last, for lack of breath, Sachs asks artlessly:"Was that your song?... |
27265 | When in order to gather the upland flowers for you I endured dangers and labours innumerable? |
27265 | When my heart is breaking with anguish, will not Senta herself speak a word for me?" |
27265 | When shall it sound, the trump of doom, at which the earth will crumble away? |
27265 | When shall you dawn upon my night? |
27265 | When will the house be wrapped in rest?" |
27265 | When your arm encircled my neck, did you not own once more your love for me? |
27265 | Where am I?" |
27265 | Where are my runes? |
27265 | Where are you going?" |
27265 | Where are you? |
27265 | Where did you tarry so long?" |
27265 | Where does the man live who would not love you? |
27265 | Where have I been?... |
27265 | Where is your sword?..." |
27265 | Where look for honour and uprightness, since the pattern of all honour, Tristan, has lost them? |
27265 | Where now shall one look for truth, since Tristan has deceived me? |
27265 | Where shall I find a sword with which to cut the thongs?" |
27265 | Where shall you find her who will be your own true and loyal love until death?" |
27265 | Where to turn to find out something?" |
27265 | Where were you roaming when our master lost the Spear?" |
27265 | Wherefore to me this indignity which no suffering can wash out? |
27265 | Whether I am to retain my head which I placed at stake? |
27265 | Whither has virtue fled, since she is gone from Tristan, who had made her into his shield and defence, yet has now betrayed me?" |
27265 | Whither must I follow you?" |
27265 | Whither, blithesome hero?" |
27265 | Who am I, if not your will?" |
27265 | Who among you will fight with me, casting slur upon my honour?" |
27265 | Who attacks us? |
27265 | Who bound you in joyless slumber? |
27265 | Who came in?" |
27265 | Who could be silent hearing you? |
27265 | Who could persist in violence after hearing the supplications of an angel? |
27265 | Who could see Isolde and not blissfully dissolve in love for her? |
27265 | Who did it?" |
27265 | Who incited the child to the murderous deed? |
27265 | Who is good?" |
27265 | Who is he, who came to shore guided by a wild swan? |
27265 | Who is there unacquainted with that fountain? |
27265 | Who is this, she asks herself, that has overcome her husband, that has placed a term to her power? |
27265 | Who shall compel me to live? |
27265 | Who shall find a name for it? |
27265 | Who taught you to wish for the woman?" |
27265 | Who will inherit from him? |
27265 | Who will stand up against him when he is in command?" |
27265 | Who would have thought it?" |
27265 | Who would not wish to be a bachelor?..." |
27265 | Who would not wish to share his good fortune, as consort to tarry beside him, whom the greatest of heroes so devotedly serves?" |
27265 | Who, indeed? |
27265 | Why Tristan''s innumerable services, the greatness he had won for his King, if they were to be paid with the receiver''s dishonour? |
27265 | Why are we called to arms? |
27265 | Why did you beat our beloved?" |
27265 | Why did you do us this injury? |
27265 | Why did you wrest from me my secret? |
27265 | Why do I not leave you alone, and flee by myself away, away, where my conscience may find rest? |
27265 | Why do we continue to call?" |
27265 | Why do you hang back there in dejection?" |
27265 | Why does he not consult them? |
27265 | Why does it hang down so over your face?... |
27265 | Why indeed should not his dishonesty be turned to use? |
27265 | Will Tristan defraud her, defraud Isolde of this single infinitely- short last earthly joy? |
27265 | Will he, on the ground of insufficient nobility, refuse likewise to answer you?" |
27265 | Will the illustrious Hort come once more into the possession of the Nibelung? |
27265 | Will you deny that it was your own stratagem which guided him to the spot where he should find it?" |
27265 | Will you guide me to the right one? |
27265 | Will you therefor chide your wife?" |
27265 | With whispered laughter they vanish into the house, and Parsifal, in the once more solitary garden, asks himself:"Was it all a dream?" |
27265 | With your own eyes seen how Elsa drowned her brother in the tarn? |
27265 | Without giving Tristan time to hesitate, Kurwenal jumps up:"May I frame an answer?" |
27265 | Without your love, what were I? |
27265 | Wotan calms the maiden in distress, and asks, as one fancies, a little uneasily,"Have you seen nothing of Loge?" |
27265 | Wotan pauses with his foot on the bridge:"What wail is that?" |
27265 | Would you not trust Brangaene? |
27265 | Would you rob him of his soul''s eternal salvation?" |
27265 | Would you take away the hope of the sinner? |
27265 | Yet, in forsaking the beaten track, was I not doing even as he does? |
27265 | You are anxious, are you not, to have your shoes finished?" |
27265 | You are lured at last by the song- festival we are preparing?" |
27265 | You are not listening? |
27265 | You could hold out your hand to the stranger? |
27265 | You give your hand to the man who has hardly more than crossed your doorstep?" |
27265 | You have, no doubt,"he insinuates,"committed the thing perfectly to memory?" |
27265 | You shall see her, and if she pleases you..."--"She shall be my wife.--Will she prove to be my angel?" |
27265 | You stand in terror of his anger?" |
27265 | You stand in your place as if bewitched? |
27265 | You were up late-- you did, however, finally sleep?" |
27265 | You who are so strong in the pure faith, do you apprehend so ill the mind of the Most High? |
27265 | You, living in the dusky woods, did you not mendaciously aver to me that from your wild castle you had seen the dark deed committed? |
27265 | Your country?" |
27265 | and when Siegfried replies that he did this himself, insists further:"But who shaped the strong pieces, out of which you forged the sword?" |
27265 | ask some, under- breath, and others,"Is she mad?" |
27265 | asks the King, in natural doubt;"How were guilt so prodigious possible?" |
27265 | asks the Landgrave;"Have you come back to the community which you forsook in impatient arrogance?" |
27265 | calls down to them,"You, down there in the water, what are you complaining about? |
27265 | complains Elsa,"Was I duped by your feigning, when you stole to me last night with your pretended grief? |
27265 | cries Elsa, painfully startled;"What sudden change has taken place in you?" |
27265 | cries Eva, in acute exasperation,"If I were to come to your house, should I so much as be made at home?" |
27265 | cries Siegfried, amazed,"who are you, trying to prevent me?" |
27265 | do you know what the ring is to me? |
27265 | he asks incredulously,"Something wrong too with the heel?" |
27265 | he asks trembling,"Is there danger in it?... |
27265 | he cries in incredulous anguish;"O God, what have I seen? |
27265 | he cries, in a moment, to Wolfram wrestling all unheeded to turn him from his deadly purpose,"Ha, do you not feel soft gusts of air?... |
27265 | he cries,"What is it keeps me still bound to you? |
27265 | he goes on to show the jealous core of his unhappiness;"That picture..."--"What picture?..." |
27265 | he murmurs, now as absent- minded as she,"What is this buzzing in my head?" |
27265 | he passes to the question:"Who shaped the sword, so sharp and hard, that the strongest enemy should succumb to its stroke?" |
27265 | he replies, studying her face dubiously;"Tell me, have I no reason to be afraid?" |
27265 | he replies:"How shall I tell you what I would be willing to undertake for your sake? |
27265 | he sighs aside;"Do I still permit myself the folly of an illusion that an angel''s heart will pity me? |
27265 | he unceremoniously flings at her;"Has not God because of it, through his judgment, brought me to shame?"--"God?..." |
27265 | he weeps,"Do you still live?... |
27265 | he wonders;"is it he, already, who shall kill Fafner?" |
27265 | her uncle argues with her, and the others add their voices to his,"What must I hear? |
27265 | or"Do you imagine that you can deceive me, who night and day have been hard upon your heels?" |
27265 | persist the girls;"Do you not wish for golden wine? |
27265 | rails the irritated god,"For you I shall circumvent this enemy? |
27265 | says Daland, impressed;"Am I to take you at your word? |
27265 | says the minstrel Biterolf;"Reconciliation? |
27265 | shall it hold good? |
27265 | she asks reassuringly;"Do you doubt that it is full of kindness toward you? |
27265 | she cries, almost impatiently;"What can your sufferings be? |
27265 | she cries, in utmost dismay;"You say that I swore eternal constancy to you?" |
27265 | she moans,"How do I still endure it?" |
27265 | she pursues undeterred her fatal train of thought;"How might I hope for such power? |
27265 | she taunts the shocked, pale- grown bride, who has found no more than force to gasp,--"What does she say? |
27265 | snaps Beckmesser;"How could he learn the canons from him?" |
27265 | the Valkyrie asks wistfully;"all in all to you is the poor woman who, tired and full of trouble, lies strengthless in your lap? |
27265 | the handmaid asks, not understanding, yet half frightened;"What are you meditating? |
27265 | the pious knight shudders;"Where have you been? |
27265 | their wondering question runs,"What? |
27265 | they continue calling to the invisible Dutch crew;"Are you so lazy as to have gone already to bed? |
27265 | wails her passionate alarm,"What must I hear? |
27265 | who would have thought it of you?" |
27265 | you?..." |
808 | Hallo,cries the new- born baby,"Where''s my parents? |
808 | How long is this to last? |
808 | Is it weakness of intellect, birdie? |
808 | Where is the Public Exploder? |
808 | Which of them has his affection? |

808 | And I''m three- cornered too, ai n''t I? |
808 | And I''ve been going on like this for how long? |
808 | And am I to understand that I was on the point of marrying a dead man without knowing it? |
808 | And are you pretty comfortable? |
808 | And by what laws Should we so joyously Rejoice, because Our Strephon did not die? |
808 | And change our minds afterwards? |
808 | And do these Wise Men denounce him to me? |
808 | And do you find I''m an impressive character to play? |
808 | And do you mean to say that one of these Monarchs was already married? |
808 | And even if I could, how should I confess it unto him? |
808 | And has n''t he consulted you? |
808 | And have you found it answer? |
808 | And have you the heart to apply the prosaic rules of evidence to a case which bubbles over with poetical emotion? |
808 | And he declined? |
808 | And her"How are you?" |
808 | And how came you to leave your last employ? |
808 | And how did you find it answer? |
808 | And how old may you all be? |
808 | And if I do, will you then take my place? |
808 | And if he commit himself for contempt of his own Court, can he appear by counsel before himself, to move for arrest of his own judgement? |
808 | And if he marries his own Ward without his own consent, can he commit himself for contempt of his own Court? |
808 | And if it be none of these, say I, Ah, why do you sit and sob and sigh? |
808 | And is the booby comely? |
808 | And may I ask why you have left your frames? |
808 | And needs good food, and many things that thou canst not buy? |
808 | And now — which of you is King? |
808 | And now, my love—(aside to Duchess) Shall we tell her? |
808 | And now, tell me, with all the world to choose from, why on earth did you decide to live at the bottom of that stream? |
808 | And of whom? |
808 | And pray where is my mother dear? |
808 | And pray, why did n''t you tell us all about it before they left Venice? |
808 | And she refuses? |
808 | And so, good fellow, you are a jester? |
808 | And that is? |
808 | And that neither of us will be a Queen? |
808 | And the band who were to have had the honour of escorting us? |
808 | And the glory of its treasures Shadow of a shade? |
808 | And the salaries attached to them? |
808 | And the year is up? |
808 | And this is the return you make? |
808 | And to whom? |
808 | And we may take our friends with us, and give them places about the Court? |
808 | And what do the countesses say? |
808 | And what has your Highness done? |
808 | And what have you been doing? |
808 | And what is amiss? |
808 | And what is he? |
808 | And what may be your business with Yum- Yum? |
808 | And what then? |
808 | And which of us is Queen? |
808 | And who art thou thyself? |
808 | And who has dared to brave our high displeasure, And thus defy our definite command? |
808 | And who is this, whose manly face Bears sorrow''s interesting trace? |
808 | And why does the latter recoil from him so? |
808 | And why? |
808 | And why? |
808 | And will your Highness promise never to do it again? |
808 | And wilt thou not be glad to welcome thy brave brother, with the fame of whose exploits all England is a- ringing? |
808 | And yet, who knows? |
808 | And you love this Bunthorne? |
808 | And you wo n''t hate me because I''m just a little teeny weeny wee bit bloodthirsty, will you? |
808 | And you, my Lords, how say you, will you join our ranks? |
808 | And — and if I refuse you, will you go and do the same? |
808 | And — what in the world is the matter with you? |
808 | Answer? |
808 | Anything else? |
808 | Apollo your husband? |
808 | Are foemen in the land? |
808 | Are its palaces and pleasures Fantasies that fade? |
808 | Are n''t you happy dear? |
808 | Are the birds all caged? |
808 | Are there any more of them? |
808 | Are there no grapes this year? |
808 | Are there no grapes this year? |
808 | Are these the accents of a heart that really feels? |
808 | Are we a stake For fighting men? |
808 | Are we all mad? |
808 | Are ye man and wife? |
808 | Are you absolutely resolved? |
808 | Are you all crazy? |
808 | Are you aware that once upon a time she was engaged to be married to me? |
808 | Are you considered a good likeness? |
808 | Are you faint- hearted, girl? |
808 | Are you in sentimental mood? |
808 | Are you indeed that small phenomenon? |
808 | Are you not delighted? |
808 | Are you not very, very happy? |
808 | Are you old enough to marry, do you think? |
808 | Are you peeping? |
808 | Are you sure that this is all right? |
808 | Are you that learned little Psyche who At school alarmed her mates because she called A buttercup"ranunculus bulbosus"? |
808 | Are you, by any chance, in earnest? |
808 | Are you? |
808 | Are{ we} but slaves? |
808 | Art thou mad? |
808 | As First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chamberlain, Attorney General, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Privy Purse, or Private Secretary? |
808 | As before? |
808 | As he says, a British seaman is any man''s equal excepting his, and if Sir Joseph says that, is it not our duty to believe him? |
808 | As one individual? |
808 | As they know we object To pavilions and palaces, How can they respect Our Republican fallacies? |
808 | As two- and- six? |
808 | At elegant high society talk She''ll bear away the bell, With her"How de do?" |
808 | At once the truth declare? |
808 | At once? |
808 | At what time does your expedition march against these scoundrels? |
808 | Attentive? |
808 | Aye, aye, my boy, What cheer, what cheer? |
808 | Aye, but has your honour a heart that ups and looks you in the face, and gives you quarter- deck orders that it''s life and death to disobey? |
808 | BUNTHORNE And are you going a ticket for to buy? |
808 | Be mine — he will never know — he dares not show himself; and if he dare, what art thou to him? |
808 | Because I fly In realms above, In tendency To fall in love, Resemble I The amorous dove? |
808 | Belay? |
808 | Besides, if a man ca n''t forge his own will, whose will can he forge? |
808 | Besides, who knows what will happen in two years? |
808 | Better? |
808 | Both: The English fashion? |
808 | Bound to an unknown bride For good and ill; Ah, is not one so tied A pris''ner still, a pris''ner still? |
808 | Busy to- day? |
808 | But I say — you wo n''t take an unfair advantage of your day of office? |
