31108 | Ought we to allow them to take a path that leads nowhere?... |
31108 | Shall we admit that there is a duel between society and these souls deranged by the wrongs of society? |
31108 | The anarchists, who are now carrying on their work in Austria, have no footing in Germany-- and why? |
31108 | To whose advantage was it to have disreputable''deputies''do these things? |
31108 | Was it the teachings of Bakounin, of Nechayeff, and of Most? |
31108 | Was this demand not remarkable in the highest degree? |
31108 | We can hang them, but can we forget them? |
31108 | Well, what has happened to Germany since then? |
31108 | What else than the teachings of anarchism and of socialism can explain this difference? |
31108 | What end do the governments of Europe seek? |
31108 | What had historical, geographical, political, or industrial conditions to do with the matter? |
31108 | What indeed else was there to do? |
31108 | What is it that leads the corrupt, vicious, and reactionary elements in the official world to turn thus to its use even anarchy and terrorism? |
31108 | What is syndicalism? |
31108 | What position should the International take? |
31108 | What shall these hordes of the illiterate and miserable do? |
31108 | What was it that drove these men to violence? |
31108 | What were the weapons employed by the warriors of this period? |
31108 | What, then, is to be done? |
31108 | What, you will say, is this, then, a virtue? |
31108 | Whence came it and why? |
31108 | Whether it is human, liberal, humane, whether unhuman, illiberal, inhuman, what do I ask about that? |
31108 | Why have the railroads not yet recovered damages from Cook County, Illinois, for failing to protect their property?... |
31108 | Why is the Russian Cossack so backward in civilization? |
31108 | Why should that which assumes to stand for law and order work to the destruction of law and order? |
31108 | Why should the governments of Europe subsidize anarchy? |
31108 | Why then does not the socialist movement produce terrorists? |
31108 | Why were only freight cars, largely hospital wrecks, set on fire? |
31108 | Why, therefore, ignore economic foundations and waste effort remodeling the parasitical superstructure? |
31108 | Yet is there any escape to the conclusion that all this was utter waste of life and devotion? |
31903 | To what purpose is it to re- enact natural laws and to wish to confirm their powerful commands by the ridiculous sanctions of men? 31903 [ 2][ 2]_ Qu''est- ce que la Propriété?_ p. 102. |
31903 | [ 3][ 3]_ Qu''est- ce que la Propriété?_ p. 202. 31903 ***** Are we, then, to take Anarchism seriously, or shall we pass it by merely with a smile of superiority and a deprecating wave of our hand? 31903 ***** Proudhon in his book upon property did not answer the question put in its title,_ What is Property?_ as he had promised in the introduction. 31903 And do you demand that they should annihilate themselves, create freedom, and make revolutions? 31903 And what is the opposite-- the hindrance of these principles? 31903 And what, as a matter of fact, would be the consequences of Anarchy? 31903 And, it may be asked, On what day or by what act was so fortunate a chance offered to Anarchism? 31903 But how can we shake off this Camarilla that shelters itself behind a forest of bayonets? 31903 But how does he mean to bring about this moral order? 31903 But must we now conceive its operations as altogether distinct from those of physiological life? 31903 But what becomes then of the equality to which work was said to lead? 31903 But what is the use of an expropriation, which only means one thing, if a division to all is to follow it? 31903 But what they have placed in their heads, how can it be called other than''a fixed idea''(_ idée fixe_)? 31903 But whether he admits it or not, what is Stirner''sindividual"but an idea, something absolute? |
31903 | But why should revolution from above be impossible? |
31903 | CHAPTER I PRECURSORS AND EARLY HISTORY Forerunners and Early History Definitions-- Is Anarchism a Pathological Phenomenon? |
31903 | Can anyone take this question seriously who is accustomed to look at the life and development of society in the light of facts? |
31903 | Can there be a stronger refutation of Anarchist morality? |
31903 | Does this mean that society is helpless in face of Anarchism? |
31903 | For what purpose are we to overthrow the present order of society, and make any other form of society resting upon authority impossible? |
31903 | Further, what about the impossibility of proving the right of property through work? |
31903 | Have not some already done so with the idea of God, because they thought it merely a product of their own mind? |
31903 | He ought to have gone still farther and said:"If anyone will not do any work, what happens then? |
31903 | How can this be changed? |
31903 | How can we free the country from it? |
31903 | How many became Anarchists because they were outlawed by society on account of free and liberal views? |
31903 | How many children would perish? |
31903 | How many"weaker ones"would fall victims to the brutality of the stronger in the valuation of their individuality? |
31903 | I. PRECURSORS AND EARLY HISTORY 3 Forerunners and Early History-- Definitions-- Is Anarchism a Pathological Phenomenon? |
31903 | If progress leads us to that, of what use is it?" |
31903 | If there was a paradise for the first primitive man, why should there not be one for civilised man of to- day? |
31903 | If we turn back to the question, What is property? |
31903 | Indeed I must ask, How was this possible? |
31903 | Is Anarchy in Europe only ten years old? |
31903 | It was the first time Schlöffel had heard these paradoxes, and he replied:''Nonsense; who can emancipate us from the State?'' |
31903 | It will be asked: But what will happen then, when those who have nothing take courage and rise? |
31903 | On this round earth that revolves so rapidly in space, a grain of sand amid infinity, is it worth while for us to hate one another?" |
31903 | Or am I free from despots when I no longer fear a personal tyrant, but am afraid of every outrage upon the loyalty which I owe to him?" |
31903 | Reverse the case: are you so anxious about lack of production? |
31903 | Schlöffel stroked his long beard proudly, and replied,''Do you say that to_ me_?'' |
31903 | Supposing both are not disputed, what follows, then? |
31903 | That these ideas, now that they have lost their absolute character, are no longer to be reckoned as factors in the organisation of life? |
31903 | The only question is, who exercises government over us, and who wields the rod of discipline: whether it is others or we ourselves?" |
31903 | The question has not unnaturally been raised, What had Bakunin the cosmopolitan to do at such an institution of national Chauvinism as the Congress? |
31903 | These, at least, are no proofs that the author of_ What is Property?_ allowed himself to be brought over by the man on the 2d December. |
31903 | To what does this lead? |
31903 | We say carelessly, for the concluding answer which Proudhon gives to the question,"What is property?" |
31903 | What are, then, the organs of labour, that is, the forms in which human labour produces and fixes values and keeps off want? |
31903 | What distinction is to disappear? |
31903 | What forms is action to take? |
31903 | What has he to complain of if he is rewarded according to the work which he has performed? |
31903 | What if I simply refuse to recognise the limits made by the Commission of Distribution or to obey their decisions? |
31903 | What is this mission? |
31903 | What kind of equalisation will be made? |
31903 | What, then, is economic freedom? |
31903 | Where is the line to be drawn between the superfluous and the non- superfluous? |
31903 | Where was I to get these writings? |
31903 | Which is the more ancient and more sacred, the unfettered rights of the individual or the welfare of the community? |
31903 | Who can fail to recognise here the exact opposite to the real facts of the case? |
31903 | Who can help laughing at this? |
31903 | Who does not know the arguments which even to- day are used by politicians and savants in the still undecided controversy for and against it? |
31903 | Who is to draw it, and still more, who would recognise it? |
31903 | Who of us would care to be judge and executioner at once in one''s own person? |
31903 | Who will undertake the distribution, and who will respect it? |
31903 | Who would wish to exercise Lynch law? |
31903 | Why not rather,''self- discipline, self- government''? |
31903 | Why say,''without government''? |
31903 | Will anyone compel me? |
31903 | [ 8] What is to be gained thereby? |
31903 | and what does it matter to others? |
31903 | e._, such as represent equal times of labour, must be accepted at any time in place of payment, just as money is accepted to- day? |
31903 | he says;"and do we not thereby declare that we ourselves wish to rule no one? |
30506 | But what is this propaganda except the preaching of well- doing and love of humanity by example? 30506 Condemn the propaganda of deed?" |
30506 | What matters the death of vague human beings--continues the Anarchist logician Tailhade--"if thereby the individual affirms himself?" |
30506 | What more have we to do with State legislation, with State justice, with State police, and with State administration than with State religion? 30506 What was the result? |
30506 | [ 59] Question: How will the new society satisfy the needs of its members? 30506 [ 67] Could the best geometrician in the world ever produce anything more exact than this demonstration? |
30506 | According to Proudhon, before Kant, the believer and the philosopher moved"by an irresistible impulse,"asked themselves,"What is God?" |
30506 | According to what laws?" |
30506 | And after, when they have conquered these? |
30506 | And how can the workers, morally enslaved, rise against the bourgeoisie? |
30506 | And if they are bad what is the good of magistrates to apply them?" |
30506 | And this is the position of every impartial person to- day; for how are you going to divine where the"companion"ends and the bandit begins? |
30506 | Are we not coming back to the standpoint of Morelly who said that humanity in the course of its history has always been"outside nature?" |
30506 | Because the bourgeoisie are not a minority? |
30506 | But abstraction made of the history of humanity, what is there left to guide us in our"legislative"investigations? |
30506 | But again we ask, what is left of the Anarchist when once he rejects the"propaganda of deed"? |
30506 | But do you prefer to hand over France to the Prussians?... |
30506 | But how organise exchange? |
30506 | But how to emancipate the peasants before overthrowing Tzarism? |
30506 | But if this is so, in the name of what moral principle do the Anarchists revolt against the bourgeoisie? |
30506 | But is the_ price_ of commodities always determined by their value? |
30506 | But since this is so, how can the_ individual_, the reality, sacrifice himself for the happiness of man, an abstract being? |
30506 | But what Utopian has not tried to prove this equally with himself? |
30506 | But what in its turn did these"conditions of property"depend on? |
30506 | But what is the impetus, the motive power that sets in motion the human species, that makes it pass from one phase of its evolution to another? |
30506 | But what is the outcome of their fear of parliamentary corruption? |
30506 | But what is this humanity the love of which you prescribe to me? |
30506 | But what is to be done if,"the State having fallen into decay,"it should continue to exist? |
30506 | But what will, what can be the true basis of any given combination of their interests? |
30506 | But, then, what is the cause of the historical transformation of the"human Being?" |
30506 | But,"the State having fallen into decay,"who is to abolish it? |
30506 | But_ what_ individual does he take for his starting- point? |
30506 | By what means is circulation carried out in society? |
30506 | Do not prices continually vary according to the rarity or abundance of these commodities? |
30506 | Do you know how he"invents"the constitution of value? |
30506 | Does this not prove that the human Being is not immutable, but changes in the process of the historical evolution of societies? |
30506 | Following the example of Kant we stated the question thus:"How is it that man possesses? |
30506 | For if laws are beneficent what is the good of deputies and senators to change them? |
30506 | From time immemorial men have asked themselves, What is authority? |
30506 | Having heard that Divinity was but a fiction, he concluded that the State is also a figment: since God does not exist, how can the State exist? |
30506 | How is property acquired? |
30506 | How is the comparison of products instituted? |
30506 | How lost? |
30506 | How shall this absolute liberty, synonymous with order, be brought about? |
30506 | How to explain this historical fact? |
30506 | How to get out of this conflict, how resolve the dilemma without offending the holy laws of Anarchy? |
30506 | How will it make them certain of the morrow? |
30506 | If, as it did in March, 1871, it gave itself a revolutionary Government? |
30506 | In order to set free and to realise all these terms, until now hidden beneath the old symbols of property, what must be done? |
30506 | Indeed, suppose the signatory of a contract freely made does not wish to fulfil his duty? |
30506 | Is it necessary to point out that this"Marxism"is a little too_ sui generis_? |
30506 | Is it political liberty which ought in the nature of things to be the main object of his attention? |
30506 | Is not the political constitution in its turn rooted-- as even Guizot admitted-- in the social constitution of a country? |
30506 | Is not this also a spook, an abstract thing, a creature of the imagination? |
30506 | Is not this an entirely Utopian conception of human nature, and of the social organisation peculiar to it? |
30506 | Is not this sufficiently unjust? |
30506 | Is not this sufficiently"materialist?" |
30506 | Is there any way of putting an end to this interminable and barren controversy? |
30506 | Is this really so? |
30506 | Is this the work of the State? |
30506 | Is this wisdom so difficult of attainment? |
30506 | It is only himself, it is liberty that the citizen seeks in Government.... Then the very essence of the citizen is liberty? |
30506 | Let us now ask, what is this"free agreement"which according to Kropotkine, exists even in capitalist society? |
30506 | May not we also, in the name of freedom, ask the"companions"to leave us alone? |
30506 | Now what is this social struggle? |
30506 | Now, what is the formula of this political and liberal guarantee? |
30506 | Now, what sort of a figure does the property of the"Individual"cut? |
30506 | Of what does this impetus consist? |
30506 | Or again: Which is the better, property or the community? |
30506 | Or because they do not do what they"will"to do? |
30506 | Question: Will production be possible if it depends solely upon the free agreement of individuals? |
30506 | Religious faith would have prevented such theories from being propagated; but has it not almost disappeared to- day? |
30506 | Should I not to- day and in the future be bound by my will of yesterday? |
30506 | Should I only be the holder of property( an allusion to Proudhon)? |
30506 | Suppose we have to do with justice and the penal law, for example? |
30506 | The best organisation of property? |
30506 | The system of Louis Blanc or that of Cabet? |
30506 | The theory of St. Simon or that of Fourier? |
30506 | Then how is it that man labours? |
30506 | They then asked themselves"Which, of all religions, is the best?" |
30506 | This hunt after the best ideal of the society of the future, is not this the Utopian method_ par excellence_? |
30506 | This"most complete autonomy,"is it not also a"metaphysical conception?" |
30506 | Tom, Dick, or Harry? |
30506 | Under what conditions? |
30506 | We did not ask, as our precursors and colleagues had done, Which is the best system of community? |
30506 | We have only to ask ourselves whence comes this idea of authority, of government? |
30506 | What answer can you make them? |
30506 | What are, what can be the basis of their union? |
30506 | What could be easier, what more pleasant? |
30506 | What does it want? |
30506 | What form of legislation therefore can harmonise public good and that of individuals? |
30506 | What is Kropotkine''s conception of Anarchist society? |
30506 | What is the law of its evolution and transformation? |
30506 | What is the standpoint of this new species of Communism? |
30506 | What is this hidden force that causes the historic movement of humanity? |
30506 | What is this liberty which we are assuming to be the essence of the citizen? |
30506 | What then is this system? |
30506 | What, in fine, does it represent?... |
30506 | Where are we to seek it? |
30506 | Where does it exist but in the minds of men, in the minds of individuals? |
30506 | Where is this humanity of yours? |
30506 | Which is the best form of government? |
30506 | Whither does it tend? |
30506 | Who will give us a new ideal?" |
30506 | Why not the Panama Canal? |
30506 | You think my own concerns must at least be''good ones?'' |
30506 | [ 20] What did we say in these two publications, one after the other of which fell beneath the blows of the reaction and the state of siege? |
30506 | [ 52] But if the Great Misunderstood had the stupidity to create the"bureaux"so detested of Kropotkine? |
30506 | [ By whom?] |
36690 | ''What form of government shall we prefer?'' 36690 And where do they get their power? |
36690 | How is it to be decided whether an object that may be used for the benefit of man shall be my property or yours? 36690 Those who are in the unfavorable position take courage to ask the question,''By what, then, is your property secure, you favored ones?'' |

36690 | Would you then make this invisible unity perceptible by a special organ, preserve the image of the old government? 36690 [ 1061] But what disquiets men in their imagining of the future is"less the question''What will be?'' |
36690 | [ 1090]Now, honestly, of what sort is my money, and how have I come by it? |

36690 | Can he be judicially constrained to use his property well? |
36690 | Can one conceive of a property whose use the police power should determine, whose abuse it should repress? |
36690 | Do I desire to raise him to the energy of which he is capable? |
36690 | Do they have to give him their best thanks for his''self- sacrifice''or do they know that for an hour they formed an''egoistic union''together? |
36690 | Do you believe that the populace, or the government itself, can keep its sanity in this labyrinth? |
36690 | Do you promise never to appropriate to yourself, neither by violence, by fraud, by usury, nor by speculation, another''s product or possession? |
36690 | Do you promise never to lie and deceive, neither in court, in trade, nor in any of your dealings? |
36690 | Do you promise to respect the honor, the liberty, the goods, of your brothers? |
36690 | For preventing the exploitation of the laborer by the capitalist, of the peasant by the landlord? |
36690 | For the rulers it is an excellent means of deciding their disputes; but of what use is it to the ruled? |
36690 | For there rises first the question, what shall be the starting- point of our study? |
36690 | He who would blame the people for this should be asked,''Have you suffered with them and like them? |
36690 | How can the forms in which truth appears be brought to naught by an approach to the truth? |
36690 | How does this prospect taste to you, you''law- abiding''people? |
36690 | How should they not find appropriate work for old and young, and bring up human beings who will in turn work for them? |
36690 | How will the future society shape itself in detail? |

36690 | In consideration of the respect which he in turn pays to me? |
36690 | In consideration of what do I owe him this respect? |
36690 | Is it to be inferred that this oppression is inseparably connected with the existence of human society? |
36690 | Is not property, precisely because it is full of abuse, the most sacred thing in the world for the legislator? |
36690 | Is this law to be more to me than an order? |
36690 | Lastly rises the question, what is the way to this goal? |
36690 | Must not government adjust all interests, decide all disputes? |
36690 | Or do you suppose the oysters do not belong to us as much as to you? |

36690 | Then rises the further question, what is the goal of the study? |
36690 | To the mind of the_ bourgeoisie_, what is the best thing that has been alleged in its favor? |
36690 | To which shall I give the preference? |

2162 | Are the labor conditions better there than they are in England, where the suffragettes are making such a heroic struggle? |
2162 | Are they not the masters, the absolute kings of the situation? |
2162 | Are we to assume that the poison already inherent in politics will be decreased, if women were to enter the political arena? |
2162 | Are we, then, to believe that two errors will make a right? |
2162 | As to the knowledge of the woman-- what is there to know except that she has a pleasing appearance? |

2162 | Has she emancipated herself from the Puritanical double standard of morality for men and women? |
2162 | Has she not been taught from infancy to look upon that as her ultimate calling? |
2162 | Has that helped to develop a greater heroism, an intenser zeal than that of the women of Russia? |

2162 | If her body can be bought in return for material consideration, why not her vote? |
2162 | If motherhood is the highest fulfillment of woman''s nature, what other protection does it need, save love and freedom? |
2162 | If the mind of the child is to be poisoned with such memories, what hope is there for a true realization of human brotherhood? |
2162 | If the parent has no work, or if he hides his identity, what does marriage do then? |
2162 | If, however, the soil is sterile, how can marriage make it bear fruit? |
2162 | If, then, she can not improve on man''s mistakes, why perpetuate the latter? |
2162 | In short, is it love for the spot, every inch representing dear and precious recollections of a happy, joyous, and playful childhood? |
2162 | In the tempest''s thrill? |
2162 | In view of these economic horrors, is it to be wondered at that prostitution and the white slave trade have become such dominant factors? |
2162 | Indeed? |
2162 | Is he to become a member of the luckless crews that man those dark, ill- starred ships called prisons?... |
2162 | Is it love of one''s birthplace, the place of childhood''s recollections and hopes, dreams and aspirations? |
2162 | Is it not a fact that during industrial depressions there is a tremendous increase in the number of enlistments? |
2162 | Is it not more likely that he prepared them to succor the poor? |
2162 | Is it not rather an arbitrary institution, cunningly imposed upon the masses? |
2162 | Is it not significant that the railroad should lead to the very seat of Federal authority? |
2162 | Is it not strange, then, that we still believe in fetich worship? |
2162 | Is it not the best and most effective way of bringing into the proper light the absolute uselessness and injury of parasitism? |
2162 | Is it of any avail that a former president of a republic pays homage at Osawatomie to the memory of John Brown? |
2162 | Is it psychologically possible that Ferrer should have participated? |
2162 | Is it that they are absolutely ignorant of the history of religion, and especially of the Christian religion? |
2162 | Is it the place where we would listen to the music of the birds, and long to have wings to fly, even as they, to distant lands? |
2162 | Is it the place where, in childlike naivety, we would watch the fleeting clouds, and wonder why we, too, could not run so swiftly? |
2162 | Is it their fault if they see clearly and suffer at seeing others suffer? |
2162 | Is she not a practiced henchman, whose trials of her enemies are the worst mockery of justice? |
2162 | Is woman there no longer considered a mere sex commodity? |
2162 | Marriage may have the power to bring the horse to water, but has it ever made him drink? |
2162 | Need I say that in art we are confronted with the same sad facts? |
2162 | Now that it is no longer a beautiful vision, but a"practical, workable scheme,"resting on the will of the majority, why not? |
2162 | Now, what did this"terrible crime"really consist of? |
2162 | Of what avail is all this when, at the same time, the LIVING John Browns and Proudhons are being crucified? |
2162 | Or is it not the most brutal imposition for one set of people to make laws that another set is coerced by force to obey? |
2162 | Or is it that they hope to blind the present generation to the part played in the past by the Church in relation to prostitution? |
2162 | Or the place where we would sit at mother''s knee, enraptured by wonderful tales of great deeds and conquests? |
2162 | PATRIOTISM: A MENACE TO LIBERTY What is patriotism? |
2162 | Poor America, of what avail is all her wealth, if the individuals comprising the nation are wretchedly poor? |
2162 | Poverty in all its horrors and ugliness to be dished out as an after- dinner amusement? |
2162 | Prison, a social protection? |
2162 | Strange, is n''t it, that a woman who has a kept a"house"should be able to feel that way? |
2162 | The awe of authority, of law, of private property, hundredfold burned into his soul,--how is he to throw it off unprepared, unexpectedly? |
2162 | The colleges and other institutions of learning, are they not models of organization, offering the people fine opportunities for instruction? |

2162 | The important and only God of practical American life: Can the man make a living? |
2162 | The law will place the father under arrest, and put him in convict''s clothes; but has that ever stilled the hunger of the child? |
2162 | The moral lesson instilled in the girl is not whether the man has aroused her love, but rather is it,"How much?" |
2162 | To be sure, has she not incited violence even before her birth, and will she not continue to do so beyond death? |
2162 | To entertain the fleet, did I say? |
2162 | Was Averbuch an Anarchist? |
2162 | Was not his mind singularly clear, analytic? |
2162 | Were these people Anarchists? |

2162 | What, then, is patriotism? |
2162 | Where are the Finnish Perovskaias, Spiridonovas, Figners, Breshkovskaias? |
2162 | Where are the countless numbers of Finnish young girls who cheerfully go to Siberia for their cause? |
2162 | Where are the women in any suffrage country or State that can lay claim to such a victory? |
2162 | Where was its judgment, its reasoning capacity? |
2162 | Where were the women politicians then, and why did they not exercise the power of their vote? |
2162 | Wherein, then, are the advantages to woman and society from woman suffrage? |
2162 | Who but the most ignorant dare speak of woman as a mere domestic drudge? |
2162 | Who dare suggest that this or that profession should not be open to her? |
2162 | Who does not know this never- varying refrain of all politicians? |
2162 | Who has not heard this litany before? |
2162 | Who shall ever do justice or adequately portray her heroism and self- sacrifice, her loyalty and devotion? |
2162 | Who would create wealth? |
2162 | Who would fight wars? |
2162 | Who would make the policeman, the jailer, if woman were to refuse the indiscriminate breeding of children? |
2162 | Whom in the world should I ask but you? |
2162 | Why do they not deter? |
2162 | Why does the public tolerate such an outrage on its liberties? |
2162 | Why has the ballot not created them? |
2162 | Why not? |
2162 | Why should I blush before anyone? |
2162 | Why should they punish me for taking by somewhat similar means from those who have taken more than they had a right to?" |
2162 | Why should this gold upon my body, and the lustre which surrounds my name, only increase my infamy? |
2162 | Why teach the child to hate something which does not exist? |
2162 | Why then expect perseverance or energy of Laura? |
2162 | Why, then, are prisons a social crime and a failure? |
2162 | Why, why these foul murders? |
2162 | Will anyone say that Vaillant was an ignorant, vicious man, or a lunatic? |
2162 | Will it ever? |
2162 | Will it not lead to a revolution? |
2162 | With Mrs. Warren these girls feel,"Why waste your life working for a few shillings a week in a scullery, eighteen hours a day?" |
2162 | With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities? |
2162 | Wonderfully inspiring atmosphere for the bearing of life, is it not? |
2162 | Would he not have known that it would result in a defeat, a disastrous defeat for the people? |
2162 | Yet who can deny that the same applies with equal force to the present time, even to American prisons? |
2162 | Yet who dare say his death was in vain? |
2162 | Yet, how can any one speak of it today, with every soul in a prison, with every heart fettered, wounded, and maimed? |
2162 | can he support a wife? |
27118 | Are you not a little impertinent? |
27118 | But what do you want here? |
27118 | Oh, you have, have you? 27118 One thing more,"cried the prisoner;"is it still the case that the American people enjoy their freedom best when they are enslaved in some way?" |
27118 | What are you going to do? |
27118 | What do you mean by still responding? |
27118 | What for? |
27118 | What is jail? |
27118 | What shall I do with them? |
27118 | Who are you and what do you want? |
27118 | Why are you here? |
27118 | Why impossible? 27118 ( Did not the fate of Cyrano de Bergerac lie in his gigantic nose?) 27118 (_ Bertha takes off Rita''s wraps._) RITA(_ turns around merrily_): Tell me, Bertha, why does not the electric bell ring? 27118 (_ Flattering_) Why did you kiss me before? 27118 (_ He also sits down._) But-- you are not well to- day? 27118 (_ He kisses her hands wildly._) RITA(_ stoops down to him, softly and merrily_): Why run away? 27118 (_ He pushes her with gentle force_) You cry? 27118 (_ Laughs._) Have you lost all sense of shame? 27118 (_ Rita looks at him with an ironical smile and remains silent._) FRIEDRICH: You remember me? 27118 (_ Rita''s singing has grown louder_) Do n''t you hear how she sings? 27118 (_ She holds them toward Friedrich and asks_) Did he say anything? 27118 (_ She leaves._) RITA(_ calls after her_): And where is the coffee? 27118 (_ She sits down, with a gesture of the hand_) Please, what have you to say to me? 27118 (_ She steps up closer to him._) Do you know, Fred, that during the years after my escape I often went hungry, brutally hungry? 27118 (_ Stepping in front of him_) Or what did you take me for when I kissed you? 27118 (_ harshly_) But if you do not come in the name of my father, what do you want here? 27118 Ability personified, and he had grown to be fifty- two years of age and was still, still-- how shall I say? 27118 Anarchists within the walls of Syracuse? 27118 And I beg of you, Miss Erna---- RITA: Erna? 27118 And do you understand, Fred, that it would be base on my part were I to follow you to the Philistine? 27118 And does he expect to come again to- day? 27118 And does it not tower mountain high over other nations? 27118 And if the man possess her, does she not equally possess him? 27118 And is it not pathetic to hear the women, dimly conscious of their backbones, declaring that they will not promise to obey? 27118 And why? 27118 And yet, how in this world can a woman do a finer, wiser, braver, truer thing than to bear a child in freedom by a carefully chosen father? 27118 And your father? 27118 Are you going to-- are you going to be good? 27118 BERTHA(_ enters_): My lady? 27118 BERTHA(_ walks through the middle_): My lady, your pleasure? 27118 BERTHA: What? 27118 Baron von Schlippenbach or an American representative of law and disorder,--where is the difference? 27118 Besides, is the mother not to be considered? 27118 But how could I ever have thought that you were meant by it? 27118 But how could there be separate ways so long as the slavery of marriage remained? 27118 But is not the tragedy greater, the suffering of the individual increased, by influences he can not control, the existing social and moral conditions? 27118 But why spoil it by bad example of applying for protection from the city authorities? 27118 Can it be that marriage, as an institution, has indeed proved itself in experience such a terrible failure? 27118 Can it be that the secret, serious voice of mankind proclaims the jest truth in masquerade? 27118 Can you ask me that? 27118 Did I impress you? 27118 Do n''t you understand me? 27118 Do n''t you? 27118 Do we not all know of women who in widowhood take care of their families? 27118 Do we not know of women who take care of their husbands as well as of their children? 27118 Do you call that happiness, this being alone? 27118 Do you expect all the blessings of civilization for nothing? |
27118 | Do you hear me, Erna? |
27118 | Do you know that I ran about in the most frightful dives, with rattling plate, collecting pennies and insults? |
27118 | Do you know what it means to humiliate oneself for dry bread? |
27118 | Do you really not know it? |
27118 | Do you still remember that time, Erna? |
27118 | Do you suppose one could get an electric bell repaired here? |
27118 | Do you understand that I had to become an entirely different person or go to ruin? |
27118 | Do you want to murder me?" |
27118 | Economic necessity? |
27118 | Erna, Erna, how could you do that? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH(_ after a silence, hesitatingly_): Well, are you going to allow me to call you Erna again, as of yore? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH(_ happy_): Yes? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH(_ looks at her calmly_): Well, is there anything wrong about it? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH(_ returns, confused_): Pardon me, I---- RITA: Poor Fred, did you stray into my bedroom? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH(_ surprised_): Is that possible? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH: And I? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH: How is that? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH: How so? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH: How? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH: How? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH: I thought----(_ Bertha comes with the coffee and serves._) RITA: Will you take a cup with me? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH: No-- why? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH: Oh, Erna---- RITA: But now you''ll call me Rita-- do you understand? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH: The-- the Count-- did you say? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH: Then? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH: What do you mean? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH: What is the matter? |
27118 | FRIEDRICH: Why not? |
27118 | Fine-- is it not? |
27118 | For what purpose? |
27118 | Has anybody called? |
27118 | Have you still so much to say to me? |
27118 | He has---- RITA: Well, yes; I mean anyone else? |
27118 | His answer was peculiar only in that he put into words a description of the attitude of the average parent:"Talked to him about that? |
27118 | Hm!--but then, what then? |
27118 | How did you find me, anyway? |
27118 | How is that for our law- abiding citizens? |
27118 | How long ago is it? |
27118 | How many hard and cold stone cliffs meet its large wondering gaze? |
27118 | I hoped that I might expect, after these four or five years, that you would receive me differently than with this-- with this-- how shall I say? |
27118 | I know very well, and I can not ask it of you, that you, in a career like yours, you---- RITA: Hm? |
27118 | I shall never be anything to you any more? |
27118 | If I would care to, if I really would return-- what then? |
27118 | If that be so, how can there be any more immorality in the exercise of it than in the process of digestion? |
27118 | If you still love me, can you run off-- you mule? |
27118 | Is it not heavenly irony that God pressed the headman''s sword of morals into the hands of the newspaper writers? |
27118 | Is it not incomparably virtuous, ideal and brave? |
27118 | Is it not so? |
27118 | Is it not the gem of the ocean? |
27118 | Is not God to be thanked that he has given us light to see the horrors of polygamy? |
27118 | Is not monogamy the mainstay of our morals? |
27118 | Is not the existence of government considered as a necessity on the grounds that it is here to maintain peace, law and order? |
27118 | Is that your last word? |
27118 | Is the child to be considered as an individuality, or as an object to be moulded according to the whims and fancies of those about it? |
27118 | It sounds more natural, eh? |
27118 | Life? |
27118 | May I? |
27118 | Must not one suppose that parents should be united to children by the most tender and delicate chords? |
27118 | Must we not always and forever consider others-- and our surroundings? |
27118 | One who owes everything to himself, who is proud of himself, but who no longer respects anything, above all, no conventional measures and weights? |
27118 | Or that the Social Democratic father can point to his little girl of six and say,"Who wrote the Capital, dearie?" |
27118 | Or will you not spread your wings over mediocrity, or will you not shield indifference, and protect the gray and uniformly fleeced herd? |
27118 | RITA(_ after a pause, awakens from her meditation, harshly_): Perhaps you were sent by my father? |
27118 | RITA(_ after a pause, hostile_): You wish to be taken seriously? |
27118 | RITA(_ from within_): Well? |
27118 | RITA(_ in the door_): Well? |
27118 | RITA(_ interrupts him sharply_): Demand? |
27118 | RITA(_ jovially_): Who knows? |
27118 | RITA(_ laughs_): What business is that of yours? |
27118 | RITA(_ laughs_): Why did you not go to the"Winter Garden"when you were in Berlin? |
27118 | RITA(_ looks at him searchingly_): Sooner than I and all the world? |
27118 | RITA(_ proudly_): How I could? |
27118 | RITA(_ without noticing him, to Bertha_): Well? |
27118 | RITA: A man, who ventured to pay his debts with me---- FRIEDRICH: How so; what do you mean? |
27118 | RITA: But how did it happen that, regardless of this, of this disappointment, you, nevertheless, continued to search for me? |
27118 | RITA: Certainly---- FRIEDRICH: Do you see? |
27118 | RITA: Did he ask-- anything else? |
27118 | RITA: Do I look as though I hesitated? |
27118 | RITA: From England? |
27118 | RITA: His card? |
27118 | RITA: How? |
27118 | RITA: Is it possible? |
27118 | RITA: Must? |
27118 | RITA: Not well? |
27118 | RITA: O, Bertholina,_ why_ has the man not yet repaired it? |
27118 | RITA: Torment? |
27118 | RITA: Well? |
27118 | RITA: What will stop? |
27118 | RITA: Which tone? |
27118 | RITA: Yes-- now, please, what would I have to do in order to fulfill your demand? |
27118 | Shall I start a cooking school? |
27118 | Shall I tell you what was your ideal-- how you would have liked to find me again? |
27118 | So that is still going on?" |
27118 | Society still believes in them?" |
27118 | Some will ask, what about weak natures, must they not be protected? |
27118 | Terrible thing, is n''t it? |
27118 | That''s better, is n''t it? |
27118 | The city? |
27118 | Then why not have motherhood without its immoral, artificial adjunct, marriage? |
27118 | Then you certainly speak English? |
27118 | Was it not chosen by Providence to become the leading nation on earth? |
27118 | Well, then, you would be in the midst of the family and society again-- and then---- RITA: And then? |
27118 | Well-- I could come back? |
27118 | Well? |
27118 | What are the results of such methods of biasing the mind? |
27118 | What can be clearer than that a woman has the inherent right to bear children if she wish? |
27118 | What do you do for a living?" |
27118 | What do you suppose that costs? |
27118 | What do you want of me? |
27118 | What else is the meaning of the hush and blush that go to any reference to sex, sign or manifestation of sex? |
27118 | What has become of your good training? |
27118 | What has monogamy or polygamy or polyandry to do with this matter? |
27118 | What is his title to the love or gratitude or self- abnegation of his child? |
27118 | What makes you say so? |
27118 | What prompted you to leave so suddenly? |
27118 | What relationship existed between you and the Count? |
27118 | What right has any father to make a sacrifice of his child? |
27118 | What was I to do? |
27118 | What''s the matter? |
27118 | When she finishes, he puts his stiff hat on the table and walks toward her with a blissful smile._) RITA: Now? |
27118 | Whence come the mulattoes and the half- breeds of all sorts? |
27118 | Where are they?" |
27118 | Where? |
27118 | Who is it? |
27118 | Who so credulous as to believe the fable of monogamy? |
27118 | Why do you come? |
27118 | Why not buy me also? |
27118 | Why not economic stupidity? |
27118 | Why should I be here? |
27118 | Why should I have looked you up otherwise? |
27118 | Why, the great political parties are responding to the cry of the downtrodden masses, and--""Oh,"he said dreamily,"they are still responding?" |
27118 | Why? |
27118 | Why? |
27118 | Why? |
27118 | Will you deny that you have imagined it thus and even wished for it? |
27118 | With what can you serve me? |
27118 | Yes? |
27118 | Yes? |
27118 | You can not be so cold and heartless towards me? |
27118 | You certainly expect to stay here some time, do you not? |
27118 | You certainly know that, do n''t you? |
27118 | You demand something of me? |
27118 | You did not expect to eat them, did you? |
27118 | You even smile? |
27118 | You know that pretty part in the Walküre? |
27118 | You know that, yes? |
27118 | You still hesitate? |
27118 | You want-- to remain what you are? |
27118 | You-- come to see me? |
27118 | how could I have forgotten the ballot box?" |
27118 | what of her? |
43098 | ''Tis funny, ai nt it? 43098 Ai nt it terrible?" |
43098 | And each one of those children has an equal right to life and liberty? |
43098 | Do you believe him to be omnipotent, omniscient, and all- just? |
43098 | Do you think all people alike? |
43098 | Does he ever speak of it? |
43098 | Have you lived here long? |
43098 | How are vacancies to be obtained? 43098 How do you propose to get all this?" |
43098 | How much rent do you pay? |
43098 | Like it? |
43098 | Mrs. Bossert,I cried out,"are n''t you ashamed of yourself? |
43098 | My clothes,I reiterated;"are they here or upstairs?" |
43098 | No,he said shortly, and then with a sudden look at her,"Effie, what do you think love is?" |
43098 | One over the other? |
43098 | Shall I help you over? |
43098 | The criminal slew,says Tolstoy:"are you better, then, when you slay? |
43098 | The result? 43098 Then you believe he has the power to order all things as he wills, and being all- just he wills all things according to justice?" |
43098 | Then you believe him to be the impartially- loving father of all his created children? |
43098 | Three rooms? |
43098 | What do you mean? 43098 What was it blew? |
43098 | Where is our bridge? |
43098 | Which is? |
43098 | Will you kiss me once? 43098 Will you let me off at Ninth and Race?" |
43098 | Would you like to hear that they,--one,--the worst of them, was dead? |
43098 | ***** What have you done, O Church, That the weary should bless your name? |
43098 | = Why? |
43098 | A dream? |
43098 | A sharp contraction went across the strong bent face:"No? |
43098 | A vision? |
43098 | AVE ET VALE Comrades, what matter the watch- night tells That a New Year comes or goes? |
43098 | Abraham, David, Solomon,--could any respectable member of society admit that he had done the things they did? |
43098 | After a little silence she asked without looking at him:"What are you thinking of, Bernard?" |
43098 | After all, who are the really old? |
43098 | Ah, know we not in their feasting halls Where the loud laugh echoes again, That brick and stone in the mortared walls Are the bones of murdered men? |
43098 | Am I blasphemous? |
43098 | Am I blasphemous? |
43098 | Am I not as the rest of you, With a hope to reach, and a dream to live? |
43098 | Am I not the breath of life that pants and struggles for relief?" |
43098 | Am I repentant because I saved its starving body from Famine''s teeth? |
43098 | Am I repentant for that, you ask? |
43098 | Am I repentant for the act, the last on earth in my power, to save From the long- drawn misery of life, in the early death and the painless grave? |
43098 | An hour later she was back at the old question,"Was it my fault?" |
43098 | And begin to quest the libraries for literary justifications of their preference? |
43098 | And does not all the audience go home in love with her? |
43098 | And for one''s ideal dream of a fat meal? |
43098 | And have we not Zaza, who is worth a thousand of her respectable lover and his respectable wife? |
43098 | And if you have not yourself, are you able to delegate to any judge the power which you have not? |
43098 | And is the action of the man who takes the necessities which have been denied to him really criminal? |
43098 | And leap in again? |
43098 | And meanwhile? |
43098 | And pray, what idea of life should a people have whose means of life in their own way have been taken from them? |
43098 | And she thought on,"Why does he want to live at all, why does any one want to live, why do I want to live myself?" |
43098 | And suddenly the question came into my head:''If you had the power would you save Nathaniel''s life or bring back the water to the glen?'' |
43098 | And tear back? |
43098 | And that other men, with guns upon their shoulders, ride beside them-- with orders to kill if the living links break? |
43098 | And the earth is gray; A bitter wind is driving from the north; The stone is cold, and strange cold whispers say:"What do ye here with Death? |
43098 | And was I less Than you? |
43098 | And what help is there? |
43098 | And what hope is there? |
43098 | And what is the result of it? |
43098 | And what of the dream that turned to madness and destroyed the thing it loved the best? |
43098 | And when you have done all this, what then do you do to them, these creatures of your own making? |
43098 | And why defense at all? |
43098 | And why punishment? |
43098 | And why shall they not become thieves? |
43098 | And why? |
43098 | Are these all the aims of Anarchism? |
43098 | Are we not they who delve and blast And hammer and build and burn? |
43098 | Are you feeble and timid of spirit? |
43098 | Are you in a hurry?" |
43098 | Are you strong and courageous? |
43098 | As a prominent lawyer, Mr. Thomas Earle White, of Philadelphia, himself an Anarchist, said to me not long since:"What are you going to do about it? |
43098 | Ask a method? |
43098 | At Macon, in the sixth century, says August Bebel, the fathers of the Church met and proposed the decision of the question,"Has woman a soul?" |
43098 | At what moment will the fierce impurities borne from its somber and tenebrous past be hurled up in you? |
43098 | BASTARD BORN Why do you clothe me with scarlet of shame? |
43098 | Because I hastened what time would do, to spare it pain and relieve its death? |
43098 | Bred for the shambles, with curses begotten, Useless to all save the rotting grave- worm? |
43098 | But do you think it''s love that makes David act as he does to you? |
43098 | But meanwhile must we not punish to protect ourselves? |
43098 | But what, say you, had it to do with his instinctive modesty? |
43098 | But whatever you think of Morral, pray why was Ferrer arrested and the Modern School of Barcelona closed? |
43098 | But who can know them all? |
43098 | But"Oh, how, how was the miracle accomplished? |
43098 | But, do you know what I am thinking?" |
43098 | Can they lay aught on thee with"Be alone,"That hast conquered breath? |
43098 | Can they weight thee now with the heaviest stone? |
43098 | Can this be done in a city? |
43098 | Could they who had seen these things"forgive and forget"? |
43098 | Dare you say that? |
43098 | Defense of what? |
43098 | Defense to whom? |
43098 | Did Ferrer know this? |
43098 | Did I accuse you?" |
43098 | Did I not love it? |
43098 | Did they shrink from the stab of the dressmaker''s needle? |
43098 | Did they sleep, I wonder, on the night before the 20th of May, when that dark thunder of vengeance was gathering to break? |
43098 | Did you ever see a dead vine bloom? |
43098 | Did you not know it all long ago?" |
43098 | Do I have time to waste on this disgusting scene? |
43098 | Do I not also live where you have sought to pierce in vain? |
43098 | Do I not fear for the judgment hour? |
43098 | Do I repent that I killed the babe? |
43098 | Do I repent? |
43098 | Do n''t they look beautiful?" |
43098 | Do they mean anything at all by it? |
43098 | Do they not know how all this traffic would crumble like the ash of a burnt- out fire, once the blaze of science were to flame through Spain? |
43098 | Do we forget them, these broken ones, That our watch to- night is set? |
43098 | Do we not appear therein as curious little dwarfs who have somehow gotten"big heads"? |
43098 | Do we not know that our brothers die In the cold and the dark to- night? |
43098 | Do you ask Spring her method? |
43098 | Do you ask whence the perfume that round you creeps When your soul is wrought to the quick with pain? |
43098 | Do you curse the bloom of the heather wild? |
43098 | Do you expect healthy morals out of all these poisoned bodies? |
43098 | Do you keep to the law of the just, And hold to the changeless true? |
43098 | Do you know that every day men run in long procession, upon the road they build for others''safe and easy going, bound to a chain? |
43098 | Do you know what it is they see up there above you, they whose eyes look through the mist of gray and the shroud of darkness? |
43098 | Do you know what it is? |
43098 | Do you know,"turning suddenly to him with a sharp change in face and voice,"what I would be wicked enough to do, if I could?" |
43098 | Do you punish them for their idiocy or for their unfortunate physical condition? |
43098 | Do you question the sun that it gives its gold? |
43098 | Do you remember when Nathaniel died? |
43098 | Do you scowl at the cloud when it pours its rain Till the fields that were withered and burnt and old Are fresh and tender and young again? |
43098 | Do you search the source of the breeze that sweeps The rush of the fever from tortured brain? |
43098 | Do you shun the bird- songs''silver shower? |
43098 | Do you still expect the due of youth and beauty? |

43098 | Do you trample the flowers and cry"impure"? |
43098 | Does any one want to shake his hand, the hand that kills for pay? |
43098 | Does it mean that in our day there is nothing interesting in good health, in well- ordered lives? |
43098 | Does not each bosom shelter me that beats with honor''s generous tide? |
43098 | Does their music arouse your curling scorn That none but God blessed them? |

43098 | Hanging? |
43098 | Has not one of our latter- day martyrs said,"Men die, but principles live"? |
43098 | Have I not promised you a sweet release when your dark pilgrimage on earth is o''er? |
43098 | Have I wronged any? |
43098 | Have we not the"Second Mrs. Tanqueray"who comes to grief through an endeavor to conform to a moral standard that does not fit? |
43098 | Have we not the_ Philistine_ and its witty editor, boldly proclaiming in Anarchistic spelling,"I am an Anarkist?" |

43098 | Have you heard the children''s moan, By the light of the skies denied? |
43098 | Have you heard the cry in the night Going up from the outraged heart, Masked from the social sight By the cloak that but angered the smart? |
43098 | Have you no such thing as a slave? |
43098 | Have you strengthened the weak, the ill? |
43098 | Have you touched, have you known, have you felt, Have you bent and softly smiled In the face of the woman, who dwelt In lewdness-- to feed her child? |
43098 | Have you wiped the dark tears from their eyes, And bade their sobbings be still? |
43098 | He entered with a smile:"Can I do anything for you this morning?" |
43098 | He glanced at the crowd with a thin smile:"Do? |
43098 | He smiled tolerantly:"You, wicked? |
43098 | He took another''s liberty; and is it the right way, therefore, for you to take his? |
43098 | He went on:"You love the child, do n''t you? |

43098 | How did they know it would come? |
43098 | How do you guard the trust That the people repose in you? |
43098 | How free are your people, pray? |
43098 | How hast Thou heard their prayers Smoking up from the bleeding sod, Who, crushed by their weight of cares, Cried up to Thee, Most High God? |

43098 | How will the chains be broken? |
43098 | However, Madero and his aids are in, as was expected; the question is, how will they stay in? |

43098 | I shall smile when I die"? |
43098 | If he is so bad a man, why in the name of wonder did he ever get in the penitentiary? |
43098 | If he is so_ great_ a criminal, why is he not with the rest of the spawn of crime, dining at Delmonico''s or enjoying a trip to Europe? |
43098 | If he loved you, would he let you work as you work? |
43098 | Ignorant, mean and soulless was he? |
43098 | In Defense of Emma Goldman and the Right of Expropriation The light is pleasant, is it not, my friends? |
43098 | In the end I swallowed it as I did a lot of other"pre- digested"knowledge(?) |
43098 | Is Bella ready to go?" |
43098 | Is he morally worse than the man who crawls in a cellar and dies of starvation? |
43098 | Is he to be let go, as he is now, until he does some violent deed and then be judged more hardly because of his natural defect? |
43098 | Is it a wonder that most of them came out Anarchists? |
43098 | Is it any wonder that the law of compulsory education is a mockery? |
43098 | Is it life to creep and crawl and beg, And slink for shelter where rats congregate? |
43098 | Is it not enough that"things are cruel and blind"? |
43098 | Is it that you are weary of the yoke of love I lay on you? |
43098 | Is it, then, life, to wait another''s nod, For leave to turn yourself to gold for him? |
43098 | Is there aught in them you can see To merit this hemlock you make me drink? |
43098 | Is there nothing more divine Than the patched up broils of Congress,--venal, full of meat and wine? |
43098 | Is there, say you, nothing higher-- naught, God save us, that transcends Laws of cotton texture wove by vulgar men for vulgar ends? |
43098 | Is this the way to the kitchen? |
43098 | Is this thy word, O Mother, with stern eyes, Crowning thy dead with stone- caressing touch? |
43098 | Is this your Divine Justice? |
43098 | Is this your faith? |
43098 | It does not occur to them that the child''s question,"What do I have to learn that for?" |
43098 | It says,"Do you believe in God?" |
43098 | Know ye the Law, that ye dare to blast The bell of gold with your clanging brass? |
43098 | Know ye the harvest the reapers reap Who drop in the furrow the seed of scorn? |
43098 | LOVE''S COMPENSATION I went before God, and he said,"What fruit of the life I gave?" |
43098 | Let woman ask herself,"Why am I the slave of Man? |
43098 | Love them and help them, to teach them to be better? |
43098 | May we not linger till the day is broad? |
43098 | May we not weep o''er him that martyred lies, Slain in our name, for that he loved us much? |
43098 | Me, who knew That the gentlest soul in the world looked there, Out of the gray eyes that pitied you E''en while you cursed her? |
43098 | Moreover, who is to say how they may develop their methods once they have a free opportunity to do so? |
43098 | Mourn ye the prisoner from his chains let free? |
43098 | Must we also be cruel and blind? |
43098 | Must we forever thus worthlessly perish, Burned in the desert and lost in the snow? |
43098 | My own fingers were curiously numb and inert; had I, too, become a shadow? |
43098 | Nay, none are stirring in this stinging dawn-- None but poor wretches that make no moan to God: What use are these, O thou with dagger drawn? |
43098 | No longer than a week since an Anarchist(?) |
43098 | No, you have never felt it? |
43098 | Not every brow that boldly thinks erect with manhood''s honest pride? |
43098 | Not every workshop brooding woe, not every hut that harbors grief? |
43098 | Not strange if some should pause and shudder and cry out,"Is it worth the sacrifice?" |
43098 | Now do we see that all men eat,--eat well? |
43098 | Now what in all conscience would any one with decent human feeling expect a Yaqui to do? |
43098 | Now, is it reasonable to suppose that the individuals who are thriving upon these sales, want a condition of popular enlightenment? |
43098 | Now_ will_ somebody tell me why either sex should hold a corner on athletic sports? |
43098 | OUT OF THE DARKNESS Who am I? |
43098 | Oh, in the mass of sunshine must they still cry for light? |
43098 | Oh, is there no one to find or to speak a meaning to_ me_, To me as I am,--the hard, the ignorant, withered- souled worker? |
43098 | Oh, that my god will none of me? |
43098 | Only a little, only so much as to give you health again; is that too much? |
43098 | Only one of the commonest common people, Only a worked- out body, a shriveled and withered soul, What right have I to sing then? |
43098 | Or bow to the chalice that holds The wine of your Sacred Feast? |
43098 | Or did they dread some stronger weapon? |
43098 | Or does it mean simply that the most powerful writers are themselves diseased, and can only paint disease? |
43098 | Or does it mean that the rarest thing in all the world is the so- called normal man, whom tacit consent assumes to be the commonest? |
43098 | Or rather what does Government do with them? |
43098 | Or remembering Say that her love had bloomed from Hell? |
43098 | Regard it a proof that the people were appeased? |
43098 | Rests not a nook for me to dwell in every heart, in every brain? |
43098 | Shall the fruitless root not burn, And be wasted utterly?" |

43098 | She looked at him once as she said,"What do you think the people will do about it?" |
43098 | She walked away and sat down in a corner alone; what could she do, what could any one do? |
43098 | Should I say that I blush for this face of Man? |
43098 | Should come with faith''s holy torch To light up your altar''d fane? |
43098 | Should they be so mighty anxious to convert their strength into wealth for some other man to loll in? |
43098 | Should we call it a condition of peace? |
43098 | So if it was justice to Effie, what is it to that other woman? |
43098 | So there is enough, who cares? |
43098 | So unrepentant, so hard and cold? |
43098 | Such is the test we are to apply to the present inquiry, What is wrong with our present method of Child Education? |

43098 | The glitter and blare in the laughing press, And din of the merry street? |
43098 | The indifferentist shrugs his shoulders and remarks to the conservative:"What have I to do with it? |
43098 | The problem then becomes, Is it possible to stir men from their indifference? |
43098 | The question naturally intrudes, How does the Church, how do the religious orders manage to accumulate such wealth? |
43098 | The rest? |
43098 | The sources of wealth remain indivisible forever; who cares if one has a little more or less, so all have enough? |
43098 | The very best answer a child ever gets to its legitimate inquiry,"Why do I have to learn such and such a thing?" |
43098 | The whirl of the dancing feet? |
43098 | Then her mouth settled in a quiet sneer and she murmured:"How long is''forever''? |
43098 | Then why create a second class of parasites worse than the first? |
