| 28990 | it is even now higher than when first you looked; is it not so?" |
| 28990 | poor broken things, Must you, too, bear your painful share To save the pride of Kings? |
| 28990 | said they,"what is the matter?" |
| 28990 | what sound was that which came floating on the fresh morning air? |
| 33950 | Are you married? |
| 33950 | Are you the impious men who despise the true faith, the madmen who blaspheme the Prophet of the Lord? |
| 33950 | Francis,it asked,"what could benefit thee most, the Master or the servant, the rich man or the poor?" |
| 33950 | Hands love clasped through charmèd hours, Feet that press the bruisèd flowers, Is there naught for you to dare, That ye may his signet wear? |
| 33950 | How shall we save ourselves? |
| 33950 | I mean to ask thee,said Masseo,"why all the world goes after thee? |
| 33950 | Is there not,he asked himself,"a more beautiful way of gaining the desired end? |
| 33950 | My brethren what do you advise me? |
| 33950 | My brother,said Illuminato, who was a man of virtue and intelligence,"what does the world''s judgment matter to you? |
| 33950 | Then, Lord, what wilt Thou that I do? |
| 33950 | What do you mean? |
| 33950 | What do you want? |
| 33950 | What have you come for again? |
| 33950 | What must we do? |
| 33950 | Which do you consider best-- that I should attend to prayer, or that I should go and preach? 33950 Why, then,"went on the voice,"dost thou leave God, Who is the Master and rich, for man, who is the servant and poor?" |
| 33950 | Will you or will you not go to Germany? 33950 Would you know the reason why all men come after me?" |
| 33950 | And did they accomplish nothing? |
| 33950 | And what did that spirit produce? |
| 33950 | And what were they coming to? |
| 33950 | At last one day he said to him--"Why is it? |
| 33950 | But what does that concern you?" |
| 33950 | But what is your advice? |
| 33950 | Could he have seen then the rough road that God was preparing for him, would he have drawn back? |
| 33950 | Do you not know that my house is yours and your brethren''s?" |
| 33950 | Francis looked at her with interest, and asked--"What can I do for you, Madam?" |
| 33950 | Going up to him, he said--"Who art thou, and whence dost thou come?" |
| 33950 | How is it then that men go after thee?" |
| 33950 | How was he, Francis, young, without any interest, and a stranger to all churchly usages, to get to see the Pope? |
| 33950 | However, they smothered their rage at first, as best they could, and said quietly to Agnes--"Why have you come here? |
| 33950 | Hurt to the quick, as well as indignant, Francis cried:--"What is that you are saying? |
| 33950 | In what was his baby better than any of theirs? |
| 33950 | Oh, what, if we are Christ''s, Is earthly shame or loss? |
| 33950 | On parting, the friend said,"You will pray for me?" |
| 33950 | One here and there in every century? |
| 33950 | The few? |
| 33950 | They sprang out and seized him, demanding--"Who are you?" |
| 33950 | WHAT HINDERS YOU? |
| 33950 | Was he really as good and holy as the common people began to whisper to themselves? |
| 33950 | Was their mission an utter failure, as some historians write it? |
| 33950 | What do you think I ought to do?" |
| 33950 | What do you think I ought to do?" |
| 33950 | What is your country?" |
| 33950 | What was it, he asked himself, that had so completely changed the gay, frivolous, ease- loving Francis Bernardone, into a poor hard- working beggar? |
| 33950 | Where should he look for Francis? |
| 33950 | Which of those roads should he take? |
| 33950 | Who can take charge and direct it after you? |
| 33950 | Why all men wish to see thee, to hear thee, and to obey thy word? |
| 33950 | Why all this bloodshed? |
| 33950 | Why has no one ever tried to gain these infidels over on Christ''s side? |
| 33950 | Why is it?" |
| 33950 | Why should Pietro set himself up to be so much better than other folks that he must needs invent a name for his baby? |
| 33950 | Why should n''t he? |
| 33950 | Will you pray that God may soften his heart?" |
| 33950 | With that he took himself off on an unauthorized interviewing tour, and accosting each one he said,"Who are you? |
| 33950 | [ Sidenote:_ Conflicts._]"Is this all they spare to God?" |
| 33950 | [ Sidenote:_ Things that Perish._] But what was the matter? |
| 33950 | [ Sidenote:_ What must we do?_] As the years passed by, Francis was continually met with the question,"What must we do now we are converted? |
| 33950 | [ Sidenote:_ What must we do?_] As the years passed by, Francis was continually met with the question,"What must we do now we are converted? |
| 33950 | he cried,"Robbers, evil- doers, assassins, have you no shame for stealing the goods of others, but would you devour the goods of the servants of God? |
| 33950 | they said through their tears,"are we to lose our father and become orphans?" |
| 33950 | why all this strife between the children of one Father? |
| 33950 | why this wholesale hurrying of men to perdition? |
| 45604 | And who is that insolent man,said the magistrate,"who has dared to insult such a gentleman''s wife?" |
| 45604 | Art thou a Christian? |
| 45604 | Art thou very much delighted with it, my son? |
| 45604 | But what, then, shall I sing? |
| 45604 | Dost thou desire to die without cause? |
| 45604 | Dost thou mean Him who was crucified? |
| 45604 | He is a happy man,said Father de Britto;"when will you do the like for me?" |
| 45604 | My lord abbot,asked Eusebius,"do you confess two natures after the incarnation?" |
| 45604 | Tell me of your charity, my brother, how many brethren are there in the monastery? |
| 45604 | To what Church dost thou belong? |
| 45604 | Was Christ of two natures after the Incarnation, or of only one? |
| 45604 | Well, Dositheus,said the master to him, soon after his admission,"How much hast thou eaten to- day?" |
| 45604 | What mean you, mother? |
| 45604 | What sayest thou, my sister? |
| 45604 | What shall I do with these men? |
| 45604 | What sort of sacrifices then does thy God approve of? |
| 45604 | Which shall I begin with? |
| 45604 | Whom,said Polemon,"dost thou worship?" |
| 45604 | Why not? |
| 45604 | Will you endure,asked Dioscorus,"to hear of two natures after the incarnation?" |
| 45604 | Wilt thou swear that he did not? |
| 45604 | Yes,said the angel,"guiltless thou art of the crime imputed to you, but hast thou forgotten the poor man''s cow? |
| 45604 | And then, when the lad had taken somewhat less,"How farest thou to- day?" |
| 45604 | And when he became greatly exhausted, Dorotheus asked him,"Well, Dositheus, how farest thou in prayer?" |
| 45604 | And when this was done, men asked,"What shall be done with Aventine?" |
| 45604 | Are not all the things of this life as a breath, yea as smoke, and as a wind that passeth away?" |
| 45604 | Are you making a sedition? |
| 45604 | But tell me, what is thy name?" |
| 45604 | Could not Eusebius visit Eutyches before invoking the judgment of the council? |
| 45604 | Culcian asked,"Is Christ God?" |
| 45604 | Culcian said,"How could God be crucified?" |
| 45604 | Culcian said,"Is it not a matter of conscience for thee to take care of thy wife and sons?" |
| 45604 | Culcian, the governor, said to him,"Now, then, art thou sober?" |
| 45604 | Dost thou deem it seemly that what has once been purified should be defiled with dung?'' |
| 45604 | Euphrosyne said,"Do all of you chant in your church, and all fast together alike?" |
| 45604 | He answered,"Is that probable? |
| 45604 | He answered,"My sons, all my sins are behind my back, following me, and I see them not; and shall I judge, this day, the sins of another man?" |
| 45604 | He grew pale and trembled, and asked,"Upon what account?" |
| 45604 | He said,"God pardon you, why have you done this?" |
| 45604 | He, therefore, said,"What is your religion?" |
| 45604 | If any evil had befallen her-- which God forbid!--would not the Lord have showed it to one of the brethren praying for her? |
| 45604 | In one of the two nights during which he survived, he was favoured with a vision, in which one said to him,"Why dost thou grieve? |
| 45604 | Knowest thou not that the one was made for the other, and the one can not be without the other?" |
| 45604 | Next he turned to Asclepiades, and asked,"What is thy name?" |
| 45604 | Nicephorus, dismayed at his apostasy, cried aloud to him,"Brother, what are you doing? |
| 45604 | Now when the old man saw him so broken, he said,"Wouldst thou converse with a spiritual brother here, from the palace of Theodosius?" |
| 45604 | On my way back I met the poor man who owned it, and he asked me,''My son, have you been driving away my cow?'' |
| 45604 | Polemon said,"Thou art a Christian?" |
| 45604 | Sapricius asked,"And where is this Christ?" |
| 45604 | Sapricius said,"Who is he whom thou lovest?" |
| 45604 | So Ethelburga spake to her husband, saying,"Seest thou, O king, how the pomp of this world passeth away? |
| 45604 | The Governor:"Are you of the clergy?" |
| 45604 | The governor said,"How durst you affront the wife of this officer in your garden?" |
| 45604 | The governor:"Of what profession are you?" |
| 45604 | The judge said,"Of what profession are you?" |
| 45604 | The judge then addressed the two catechists and other churchmen who were taken with him:"And you,"he said,"what do you say?" |
| 45604 | The king astonished, asked,''Who had presumed to give such blows to so great a man?'' |
| 45604 | The maiden said,"If anyone desired to go there for conversion, would your abbot receive him?" |
| 45604 | Then Nestor signing the cross on his brow, said,"Wherefore dost thou threaten me with torture? |
| 45604 | Then he opened to them his window once more, and asked,"My fathers and my brethren, of what error am I accused?" |
| 45604 | Then he said to Scholastica,"May God pardon thee, my sister, but what hast thou done?" |
| 45604 | Then said Polemon,"Whom dost thou worship?" |
| 45604 | Then said the old man,"Wherefore hast thou come hither, my son?" |
| 45604 | Then the Irenarch said,"Sir, dost thou know the order of the emperor?" |
| 45604 | Then the people and the apparitors began to laugh at my tears and fright, and asked me what I was crying for? |
| 45604 | Then the preacher asked her,"O Bridget, why didst thou sleep, when the Word of Christ was spoken?" |
| 45604 | Then, said the magistrate,"Where have you been lurking, that you have not sacrificed to the gods?" |
| 45604 | Then-- the notary writing all down-- Polemon asked,"What is thy name?" |
| 45604 | When Dubtach discovered this, he burst forth into angry abuse, and the king asked,"Why didst thou give away the royal sword, child?" |
| 45604 | Where are all thy goodly things? |
| 45604 | Where are the counts?" |
| 45604 | Whither shall I fly from Thy Spirit? |
| 45604 | Who would not be frightened by hearing his discourse on the Last Judgment, wherein he has depicted it so vividly, that nothing can be added thereto? |
| 45604 | Who would not be inflamed with a divine fire, reading his treatise on Charity? |
| 45604 | Who would not wish to be chaste in heart and soul, by reading the praises he has lavished on Virginity? |
| 45604 | Why not permit the servants of God, whose protecting aid we have already experienced, to abide amongst us? |
| 45604 | Why, then, reject a religion thus brought to our very doors? |
| 45604 | Why, then, reject what we know to be useful and necessary for us? |
| 45604 | am not I a man like you? |
| 45604 | are not they rather guilty of an untruth who say the contrary?" |
| 45604 | art thou not ashamed to put thy faith in a man, and he short- lived?" |
| 45604 | asked Polemon,"Is that another God?" |
| 45604 | cried Felix,"Could I be a Christian and not be present? |
| 45604 | how feels this fire to thee now? |
| 45604 | my sweetest daughter, why didst thou not tell me before, that I might have died with thee?" |
| 45604 | or to what shepherds he would commit Christ''s sheep that were in the midst of wolves? |
| 45604 | we are dung, are we?'' |
| 45604 | what art thou doing?" |
| 45604 | what harm is there in my going?" |
| 45604 | where are all the promises, and sweet hopes, that thou didst give me, of seeing my daughter again? |
| 45604 | why didst thou delay? |
| 46947 | And conscience? |
| 46947 | And hate? |
| 46947 | And how did they behave when flattered? |
| 46947 | But the letters, where are the letters? |
| 46947 | But,said he suddenly,"why is she not bound?" |
| 46947 | Do you think,answered Agnes,"that if I have refused your living son, of flesh and blood, that I shall dedicate myself to gods of senseless stone?" |
| 46947 | Gisa,he asked,"dost thou love most the soul within that breast, or gold and silver?" |
| 46947 | How do you know that he is here? 46947 What mean you?" |
| 46947 | Who are those persons? |
| 46947 | Whom ought we rather to fear,said Anastasius,"a mortal man, or God, who made all things out of nothing?" |
| 46947 | Why these tears? |
| 46947 | Aemilian said to Fructuosus,"Art thou a Bishop?" |
| 46947 | Aemilian said,"Do you know that there are many gods?" |
| 46947 | Aemilian said,"Who will be heard, who feared, who adored, if the gods and the countenance of the Emperor are despised?" |
| 46947 | Aemilian, the governor, said to Eulogius, the deacon,"Dost thou not worship Fructuosus?" |
| 46947 | And after a time, the governor sent and brought him before him once more and said to him,"What hast thou decided on for thy salvation?" |
| 46947 | And as he watched, a voice came to him:"Antony, whither art thou going, and why?" |
| 46947 | And dost thou wonder why I do not let thee in, seeing thou art a mortal guest?'' |
| 46947 | And for that will you slay living men, the hair of whose head you can not make to grow?" |
| 46947 | And he judged the plate worthless; and said,"Whence comes a plate in the desert? |
| 46947 | And he said,"Are they all here?" |
| 46947 | And on the fifth day, the abbot, coming out, asked him,"Whence art thou, my son? |
| 46947 | And when Antony said,"Who will show me the way, for I have not tried it?" |
| 46947 | And, which is the cause of the other, the sense of the letters, or the letters of the sense?" |
| 46947 | At last the abbot sent for him, and asked him,"What art thou attending to? |
| 46947 | But Antony, feeling the succour, and getting his breath again, and freed from pain, questioned the vision which appeared, saying,"Where wert thou? |
| 46947 | But Palaemon, pressing his brow with his hands, exclaimed,"My Lord suffered on the Cross, and shall I taste oil?" |
| 46947 | But she began to weep and rebuke him, saying,"Son, why hast thou done this? |
| 46947 | But the Bishop repelled him saying,"Why, my son, dost thou seek to deceive the servants of God? |
| 46947 | But why should I relate more of their ways? |
| 46947 | But, because charity bears all things, tell me, I pray thee, how fares the human race? |
| 46947 | Can it be that half- conquering already, you will bow your necks to be trampled on by the deadly foe?" |
| 46947 | Can it be that you will cast away the rewards of victory at the instigation of a woman? |
| 46947 | Dost thou recall the promise thou didst make yesterday, about keeping thy body in integrity?" |
| 46947 | For who met him grieving, and did not go away rejoicing? |
| 46947 | Francis said,"And you, do you love me?" |
| 46947 | Hath God constituted you to be my judges? |
| 46947 | Have you begun fasting? |
| 46947 | He came from the borders of Eleutheropolis, and was brought before the governor, Severus, who said to him,"What is your name?" |
| 46947 | How are we to distinguish right asceticism from that which is wrong? |
| 46947 | How can I then blaspheme my King and my Saviour? |
| 46947 | How do you like your swing?" |
| 46947 | How should the monastic life, which was its most magnificent development escape their fury? |
| 46947 | How was all this desolation to be remedied, this waste land to be reclaimed? |
| 46947 | If thou hast died, where is thine unburied corpse? |
| 46947 | If thou hast escaped death, what miserable bondage is thine? |
| 46947 | Nicholas?" |
| 46947 | Or, what is thy name, lest perchance thou hast done wrong? |
| 46947 | Overwhelmed with awe she exclaimed,"Oh, how dare I, a poor sinner, kiss the crib where the Lord wailed as a little babe? |
| 46947 | Peter,"What office can be more honourable than to live a Christian?" |
| 46947 | S. CEOLWULF(?) |
| 46947 | S. Columbanus once said to him in his youth,"Deicolus, why art thou always smiling?" |
| 46947 | S. Satyrus is said to have signed the cross, and breathed on an idol in the street of Achaia( on the Euxine? |
| 46947 | Shall we purchase with money such an one, so honoured, redeemed with such precious blood? |
| 46947 | The Church always protects widows; why then dost thou rob me, a desolate widow, of my child?" |
| 46947 | The Governor,"Do you know the imperial edicts?" |
| 46947 | The Governor,"Have you any parents?" |
| 46947 | The Governor,"To what family do you belong?" |
| 46947 | The Governor,"What office do you bear?" |
| 46947 | The governor ordered him to the rack, and when he was slung to it, he said,"Well, Peter, what say you to this? |
| 46947 | The previous evening that admirable man at supper had said,''How do we know whether we shall all live to meet again at table?'' |
| 46947 | The surrounding people told him, and the parents coming up, S. Germanus said to them,"Is this little girl your child?" |
| 46947 | Then he said,"Do not fear to tell me whether it be not thy desire to dedicate thy body, clean and untouched, to Christ, as His bride?" |
| 46947 | Then the Emperor said,"Answer me, and tell me openly, dost thou confess thyself to be a Christian?" |
| 46947 | Then they appeared before the governor of the city Lemna(?) |
| 46947 | Then, when Antony asked him,"Who art thou who speakest thus to me?" |
| 46947 | There two disciples met him, who had been long sent to minister to him, and asked him,''Where hast thou tarried so long, father?'' |
| 46947 | They cried,"Where are our dear sons, father?" |
| 46947 | Thou who receivest beasts, why repellest thou a man? |
| 46947 | To him he said,"What is thy name?" |
| 46947 | To sum up all in one simple formula;"If our Lord Jesus Christ is God, how can His Mother, the holy Virgin, be_ not_ Mother of God?" |
| 46947 | Was there ever a grander incident in English Church history? |
| 46947 | Was there ever a nobler speech uttered by an English bishop? |
| 46947 | Were their children dead or alive? |
| 46947 | What constitutes you different from them? |
| 46947 | What dost thou even in the desert? |
| 46947 | What hast thou to do with me? |
| 46947 | What monk, who had grown remiss, was not strengthened by coming to him? |
| 46947 | What parents hast thou, that thou art so afflicted? |
| 46947 | What poor man came wearied out, and, when he saw and heard him, did not despise wealth and comfort himself in his poverty? |
| 46947 | What reward shall I give unto the Lord for all the benefits that He hath done unto me? |
| 46947 | What was thy petition?" |
| 46947 | What young man coming to the mountain and looking upon Antony, did not forthwith renounce pleasure and love temperance? |
| 46947 | When Bellarmine heard of the undertaking of Rosweydus, he asked"What is this man''s age? |
| 46947 | When it was complete, half seriously and half in jest, he said:"The tomb is finished, which of you will be its first inmate?" |
| 46947 | Wherefore dost thou rob the poor brothers, who have not injured thee?" |
| 46947 | Wherefore, he exclaimed indignantly,''What are you about, brothers? |
| 46947 | Who came mourning over his dead, and did not forthwith lay aside his grief? |
| 46947 | Who came to him tempted by devils, and did not get rest? |
| 46947 | Who came troubled by doubts, and did not get peace of mind? |
| 46947 | Who came wrathful, and was not converted to friendship? |
| 46947 | Why didst thou not appear to me from the first, to stop my pangs?" |
| 46947 | Why do you delay? |
| 46947 | Why shouldst not thou do this?" |
| 46947 | Xenophon looked steadily at her, and asked in a low voice,"Is it well with the boys?" |
| 46947 | _ Aurelian_--"What is thy religion, or, what God dost thou worship?" |
| 46947 | _ Patroclus_--"Who are they?" |
| 46947 | art thou alive or art thou dead? |
| 46947 | by what emperor is the world governed? |
| 46947 | does he expect to live two hundred years?" |
| 46947 | exclaimed the Emperor;"Art thou Sebastian?" |
| 46947 | my dearest son, the light of my eyes, and the staff of my age, wherefore hast thou deserted me? |
| 46947 | or, perchance, thou art a slave, and fleest from thy master?" |
| 46947 | whether new houses are rising in the ancient cities? |
| 46947 | whether there are any left who are led captive by the deceits of the devil?'' |
| 22112 | And dost thou not shudder at this horror that is upon me, and dread lest the like befall thee too? |
| 22112 | And hath she not been often since a burthen to thee, and a weariness in the years? |
| 22112 | And thy wife, belike, or thy mother, reared her? |
| 22112 | And would William the Conqueror? |
| 22112 | And you say your prayers, my daughter, I hope? |
| 22112 | Are any of them so sad and strange as mine? |
| 22112 | Art thou Brother Waldo? |
| 22112 | Art thou ailing, or sad, or home- sick, little one, that thou hast nought to say? |
| 22112 | Art thou not gone? |
| 22112 | Ay,he said,"but if he were well provisioned, with no lack of food and water, and the weather held fair?" |
| 22112 | But when it has been worn away, what then? |
| 22112 | But why do they watch to see the bird? |
| 22112 | Couldst thou not be patient a little while? |
| 22112 | Didst thou find her? |
| 22112 | Do you not love us any longer? |
| 22112 | Does it not then seem a likely thing,said his Discretion,"that the sea is in the nature of a long low hill, down which the ships go? |
| 22112 | Dressed in green silk, with bronze boots and pink feathers-- the colours of the new oak- leaves, eh? |
| 22112 | First tell me,she said,"which of all the small things God has made in the world is the most excellent?" |
| 22112 | Hast thou filled his mouth? |
| 22112 | Hast thou where to pass the night, old father? |
| 22112 | How canst thou say that, O monk? |
| 22112 | How shall I pass this without falling? |
| 22112 | How then, Lord,said the Angel,"shall this man''s unrest and hunger be stayed?" |
| 22112 | I like to hear of those old bells; do n''t you, father? |
| 22112 | If it had been the Angelus, would St. Francis have stood still to say the prayer? |
| 22112 | Is it not then even as though one were to watch a wayfarer on horse- back, going or coming over the green bulge of a low hill? 22112 Is it then the way of women to sacrifice so much for men as thou hast done for me?" |
| 22112 | Is n''t it just like a fairy village? |
| 22112 | Is our brother the Fool alone? |
| 22112 | Is she then thy young sister, or may it be that she is thy daughter? |
| 22112 | Is that the Angelus, father? |
| 22112 | Is your lady of Rome? |
| 22112 | It is a pretty big church, is n''t it, father? |
| 22112 | Lord King, hast thou no fear of God? |
| 22112 | Ought n''t we to go and find the way to their church? |
| 22112 | Then hast thou always lived this life? |
| 22112 | They do still ring the curfew bell in some places, do n''t they, father? |
| 22112 | True, father? |
| 22112 | Was the Lord Christ any worse than thou? 22112 What are these,"he asked,"men, or little statues of men, or strangely shaped rocks?" |
| 22112 | What bird is this that sings so sweet before day in the bitter cold? |
| 22112 | What golden city may this be? |
| 22112 | What hath been thy reward? 22112 What is the Bible Society?" |
| 22112 | What pledge do you ask? |
| 22112 | Who told thee these things? |
| 22112 | Who, then, is this that has won thy love? |
| 22112 | Why are they watching? |
| 22112 | Why didst thou do all this? |
| 22112 | Why do they gaze at it so steadfastly? |
| 22112 | Why dost thou weep? |
| 22112 | Why wouldst thou do this for me? |
| 22112 | Wilt thou tell me how that may be? |
| 22112 | Yea, and is St. Dorothea thy patroness? |
| 22112 | Am I then the only one who sees you? |
| 22112 | An illusion of pain and darkness? |
| 22112 | And as he lay listening he was aware that the sound kept coming and going; and how could it have been otherwise? |
| 22112 | And is it not so?" |
| 22112 | And was not that, too, a little woman in feathers? |
| 22112 | And, turning to the young monk, he said,"O soul, O son, O Diarmait, did not God send His Angel out of high heaven to shelter the mother bird? |
| 22112 | As the sun blazed out, and the sea glittered over all his trackless ways, Serapion said to the chorister:"Ha, little brother,''tis good, is it not? |
| 22112 | As they proceeded on their journey the peasant, walking behind the ass, said to St. Francis,"Tell me now, art thou Brother Francis of Assisi?" |
| 22112 | At last on a clear morning the little chorister came hastily to Serapion and said:"Look, father, is not yon a glimmer of the heavenly land we seek?" |
| 22112 | Because it may be that I see you when you think no man sees you? |
| 22112 | But it was n''t very nice to kill them if he loved them, was it, father?" |
| 22112 | But let me ask again: What earth is nearest to heaven?" |
| 22112 | But the Prior silenced him, asking gently:"Do we distress you with any of these things? |
| 22112 | Did the Syndic truly see this? |
| 22112 | Do you fear that you too may be taken off by this pestilence? |
| 22112 | Does not Mother Church teach us this, speaking in her prayers of God''s creature of fire, and His creature of salt, and His creature of flowers?" |
| 22112 | For ever? |
| 22112 | Forgotten, did I say? |
| 22112 | God answered him,"Hast thou_ once_ asked pardon of me? |
| 22112 | Hath King William pulled down the Abbey?" |
| 22112 | Have you who buried the dead no prayer and no tenderness for this soul of the living?" |
| 22112 | Have you who sheltered the wild creatures no thought for this man of much sorrow? |
| 22112 | How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?" |
| 22112 | How shall I tell of all that was said between those two by that lonely hermitage in the depth of the forest? |
| 22112 | How would you give a reasonable account of this?" |
| 22112 | I do not think that ever at any time did he say or do anything till he had first asked himself, What would my Lord have done or said? |
| 22112 | I have appeased you with food; but to the hunger of my soul who shall minister?" |
| 22112 | Is it not so?" |
| 22112 | Is the sun then otherwise than what I see?" |
| 22112 | Is there not at least one other-- even the high God, from whom the hidden man of the heart is nowise hidden? |
| 22112 | Let me go; why should I be an offence and a stone of stumbling to those who are righteous among you?" |
| 22112 | Now these are the words of that promise:"_ Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? |
| 22112 | Once more let me question you: What is the distance between heaven and earth?" |
| 22112 | Once, indeed, he asked her fretfully,"Tell me truly in the name of God, art thou a very woman of flesh and blood?" |
| 22112 | Or for what reward dost thou look?" |
| 22112 | Rather, was not this the way of the Lord Jesus? |
| 22112 | So much for myself, but as for you, dear children, why are you grieved? |
| 22112 | Speak, man, is it not so?" |
| 22112 | The Prior of the convent noticed his sadness and questioned him of the cause, and when Bresal told him,"Why should you go?" |
| 22112 | The Water Spirit answered,"Of what avail is our strength against theirs? |
| 22112 | Were it not wiser for you to seek to distract yourself in their harmless merry- making? |
| 22112 | What had happened to him and to them? |
| 22112 | What more is there to say?" |
| 22112 | What plea could Heinrich use to shake her resolution? |
| 22112 | When some of the brotherhood would smile at his gentle sayings, he would answer:"Are these things, then, so strange and childish? |
| 22112 | Who but Messer Gianni was the angry man on hearing this? |
| 22112 | Who shall tell the loveliness of the land on which Rheinfrid now gazed from the mountain? |
| 22112 | Who, then, has told you that you shall not die if only you can escape the pestilence? |
| 22112 | Why should I waste my life within these walls?" |
| 22112 | Why then shouldst thou drive my little child and me from thy hermitage?" |
| 22112 | Will that suffice thee?" |
| 22112 | You have read how He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan, and how He was with the wild beasts? |
| 22112 | hast thou no fear of me?" |
| 22112 | he cried;"are we, then, slaves, that we must needs send you our little ones as hostages? |
| 22112 | twelve, thirteen, long years have gone by, and is that a little while?" |
| 22112 | what strange music is that? |
| 33596 | How can this man give us his flesh to eat? |
| 33596 | What hast thou that thou hast not received? 33596 11 Why remain sad and idle? 33596 20 What is it that renders death terrible? 33596 27 Wouldst thou know what thou art? 33596 And does it not appear to you most fitting that God, the Holy Ghost, should preserve His spouse, and God, the Son, His Mother, from sin of every kind? 33596 And if she crosses the sea of death will she forget you? 33596 And if thou hast received, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received? |
| 33596 | And is anything too good, too beautiful, too precious, for Him? |
| 33596 | And is it contrary to reason? |
| 33596 | And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?" |
| 33596 | And we find it difficult to return this love? |
| 33596 | And what else could we wish? |
| 33596 | And who can seriously contemplate those sufferings, borne for us so patiently, without being moved to pity and to repentance? |
| 33596 | And why should it not be right and useful to invoke the_ intercession_ of the saints? |
| 33596 | And why? |
| 33596 | Are not good Catholics more attentive, more devout at Mass than others at their prayer- meetings? |
| 33596 | Are not these sufficient reasons for the use of the Latin language? |
| 33596 | Are these words not a sufficient warning to encourage us to persevere in our good resolves? |
| 33596 | Are you in distress? |
| 33596 | Are you quite sure of it? |
| 33596 | Are you to her an honor or a disgrace, a joy or a sorrow? |
| 33596 | But in the world, in what condition do we behold her? |
| 33596 | But is it not also a martyrdom to suffer for years the pains of a lingering illness? |
| 33596 | But is the life of celibacy unscriptural? |
| 33596 | But should we not go directly to God, since God alone has power to justify us? |
| 33596 | But what return can I make Thee, being of myself insolvent, indigent, and miserable? |
| 33596 | Can the altar on which He dwells be too richly adorned? |
| 33596 | Can we do too much in His honor? |
| 33596 | Can we doubt the willingness of the saints to aid us by their intercession? |
| 33596 | Could a course like hers have terminated more appropriately than with so beautiful, painless, and tranquil a passing away? |
| 33596 | Could language be clearer? |
| 33596 | Dear reader, did the consummate puerility, silliness, foolishness of such an objection ever present itself to you? |
| 33596 | Did not God love us first? |
| 33596 | Did we not oppose them by yielding to our evil inclinations and passions? |
| 33596 | Do we make void the Gospel? |
| 33596 | Do we show it in our actions and conduct? |
| 33596 | Do you shun the company of the wicked? |
| 33596 | Do you think they would have done so had they families depending upon them? |
| 33596 | Do you understand any mystery? |
| 33596 | Do you understand how Jesus Christ is both God and man? |
| 33596 | Do you understand the Blessed Trinity? |
| 33596 | Do you wonder, then, that Catholics love and revere their priests? |
| 33596 | Does religion exert this powerful influence on us? |
| 33596 | Does this thought not banish all the difficulties of perseverance? |
| 33596 | For whom, then, shall I henceforth live, if not for Thee, my Lord? |
| 33596 | Have I not compelled Thee often to dwell in my heart, full of sin and impurity as it was? |
| 33596 | Have we corresponded with God''s designs? |
| 33596 | Have you, during your past life, always been a good child of this loving Mother? |
| 33596 | How can a man sacrifice to idols, when he adores the true God alone? |
| 33596 | How can the clouds have a voice?" |
| 33596 | How do I act in suffering and affliction? |
| 33596 | How do you act in this regard? |
| 33596 | How must I regard the world and its vanities, when I behold Thee hanging on the cross, covered with wounds? |
| 33596 | How shall we justify our unfeeling hardness of heart, by which we seek every trifling pretense to exempt us from the duty of aiding the unfortunate? |
| 33596 | How, then, can it be wrong or superfluous to invoke the intercession of the saints in heaven? |
| 33596 | How, then, could such a highly privileged body, a pure and virginal body, be permitted to pass through corruption and decay? |
| 33596 | How, then, shall He feel moved to grant us new benefits? |
| 33596 | How, then, shall I extol Thee, immortal King of glory? |
| 33596 | However, is there any reasonable doubt that the saints are able to render us such a service? |
| 33596 | I have frequently resolved to amend, and yet where do I remain but in the midst of sin and vice? |
| 33596 | If He had the power to choose her did He not also have the power to preserve her from original sin? |
| 33596 | If the Son of God said of Himself:"Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into His glory?" |
| 33596 | If they, with the aid of God''s grace, achieved such victories, why should not we, by the same aid, be able to accomplish the little desired of us? |
| 33596 | If we honor the good and virtuous, where can we find a nobler example of virtue than Mary? |
| 33596 | If, then, Christ is the author, is not the Catholic practice reasonable? |
| 33596 | Is it in vain that the keys have been given to the Church? |
| 33596 | Is it love of truth to believe in the abasement of Christ and to reject His glorification, when both are related in the selfsame book?" |
| 33596 | Is it not reasonable as well as scriptural to forbid it? |
| 33596 | Is it not reasonable thus to praise God in psalms and hymns and spiritual canticles? |
| 33596 | Is it not reasonable to believe and practise that which the Christian Church of every age believed and practised? |
| 33596 | Is it not reasonable, then, to honor Mary, to love her, and to believe that she loves us? |
| 33596 | Is it not, then, a reasonable, a beneficial practice? |
| 33596 | Is it on account of their intrinsic merit? |
| 33596 | Is it then in vain that Christ hath said:''Whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven''? |
| 33596 | Is not this a reasonable practice? |
| 33596 | June 1 CAN WE, amongst all hearts, find one more amiable than that of Jesus? |
| 33596 | MEDITATION WHO can describe Mary''s sorrow when, returning from Jerusalem, she missed her divine Son? |
| 33596 | Margaret asked him,"How do you know that we worship a crucified God?" |
| 33596 | Margaret continued:"Why did you not read further on? |
| 33596 | Now, dear reader, since Jesus Christ is really present, is not the Catholic practice regarding the Blessed Sacrament reasonable? |
| 33596 | Of whom have we to expect greater benefits or to fear greater evils-- from God or man? |
| 33596 | On whom shall we call for aid? |
| 33596 | Or is there any one that doubts the_ efficacy_ of the saints''prayer with God? |
| 33596 | Or is there anything in her example that we are unable to imitate? |
| 33596 | Ought the opinion and ridicule of the world influence us to prevent our pleasing God? |
| 33596 | Ought this not be sufficient inducement for us to serve Him zealously and gratefully? |
| 33596 | PRACTICE DURING this second great sorrow, what was Mary''s behavior? |
| 33596 | PRACTICE"HOW shall this be done, because I know not man?" |
| 33596 | Reprobus rejoined:"So thou fearest the power of Satan? |
| 33596 | Shall a Christian be less careful as to their virtue? |
| 33596 | Should I, then, not bear in union with Thee my easy burden of suffering and accept the sweet yoke of Thy commandments? |
| 33596 | Should we not adore Him as really present in the Blessed Sacrament? |
| 33596 | Should we not frequently receive Him with pure and contrite hearts? |
| 33596 | Should we not honor Our Lord and Our God? |
| 33596 | Should we not show Him every mark of respect and devotion? |
| 33596 | Should we not, when we enter the church, genuflect, bend the knee in His honor? |
| 33596 | The Last Sacraments"Is any man sick among you? |
| 33596 | The cowardly fear,"What will people say?" |
| 33596 | The soldiers of the guard were terrified and asked each other,"What is this? |
| 33596 | Then his body is anointed, and thus is fulfilled what stands written:''Is any man sick among you? |
| 33596 | They can be made heirs of property, of a kingdom on earth without their consent; why not also of the kingdom of heaven? |
| 33596 | Thou hast created me for heaven; what, then, have I to do with the world? |
| 33596 | Was it any more difficult for God to sanctify Mary at the moment of her conception, at the moment of the union of her soul with her body? |
| 33596 | Were you never ashamed of your Catholic name? |
| 33596 | What better evidence could we have of the beneficial effects of our ceremonies in raising the heart to God? |
| 33596 | What else but the intercession of the saint whom he had befriended obtained for this heathen the grace of the Faith and martyrdom? |
| 33596 | What homage can I give in proportion to Thy greatness? |
| 33596 | What is more capable of raising the heart and mind of man to God than a priest celebrating Mass? |
| 33596 | What more inspiring than some of our sacred music? |
| 33596 | What pledge can I give as an earnest of the gratitude I owe to Thee? |
| 33596 | What prompts such sacrifices? |
| 33596 | What return do you make to your Saviour for His great and manifold benefits? |
| 33596 | What return shall I make for all the benefits Thou didst bestow on me? |
| 33596 | What would be the necessity of this power if they could not exercise it in confession? |
| 33596 | When she appeared before him he thus addressed her:"What is your name and condition?" |
| 33596 | Where will you find charity practised in reality except in the Catholic Church? |
| 33596 | Who am I, O God, that Thou shouldst work such wonders for my sake? |
| 33596 | Who can describe this affecting meeting? |
| 33596 | Who can look upon the crucifix or upon a picture of the Crucifixion without being reminded of all the sufferings of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? |
| 33596 | Who will grant me that I may die for love of Thee? |
| 33596 | Who will say that this practice is not reasonable? |
| 33596 | Who, for example, can behold the cross on the chasuble the priest wears without thinking of all Christ suffered for us on the cross? |
| 33596 | Why exhaust thyself in the anguish of melancholy? |
| 33596 | Witnessing this, how can I continue to sin? |
| 33596 | Would not Gamaliel''s proposition, to judge whether Christ''s religion be divine or human from its effects, result in its disfavor?" |
| 33596 | _ Devotion._--What is meant by devotion in prayer? |
| 33596 | _ Prayer_ O JESUS, Thou hast set me apart from the world; what, then, shall I seek therein? |
| 33596 | _ Prayer_ O JESUS, who shall give to my eyes a torrent of tears, that day and night I may weep for my sins? |
| 33596 | void the words of Christ?" |
| 45187 | And how find, unlesse we seeke? |
| 45187 | And then,_ Mother_? 45187 And what sayd he,_ Mother_, to that?" |
| 45187 | And you trulie believe there was a Signe in the Heavens? |
| 45187 | But an''if the Obstacle remains the same? |
| 45187 | But hast no Feare,quo''I,"of an Over- dose?" |
| 45187 | But why dost hate the Priests? |
| 45187 | But why need I to concern myself about him? |
| 45187 | But why worship Saints at alle? |
| 45187 | But would not increased Usefulnesse,says_ Erasmus_,"make you happier?" |
| 45187 | Come, give over weeping, dearest_ Mother_,''twill do neither him, you, nor us anie Goode.... What was your first Speech of him? |
| 45187 | Do n''t you beholde,cries he,"that enormous Dragon flying through the Sky? |
| 45187 | Do n''t you mind me? |
| 45187 | Do you look on it as no more, then? |
| 45187 | Father_ Francis_? |
| 45187 | First tell me, Fool,returns_ Bess_,"how thou knowest that it was soe?" |
| 45187 | Happier? |
| 45187 | Hath she seen a Priest? |
| 45187 | How and where? |
| 45187 | How can I,quoth I,"when you have ta''en away my Testament ere I had half gone through it? |
| 45187 | How hast fared, of late,_ Gammer_? |
| 45187 | How should ye, Mistress,returns she shortlie,"when ye never comes nigh us? |
| 45187 | Is that all? |
| 45187 | LORD love ye,returns_ Gammer_,"what coulde a Priest doe for her? |
| 45187 | Never better, Child, sayst thou? 45187 Or suppose another Case, Mr._ Rich_,"returns_ Father_,"that another Act shoulde pass, that GOD shoulde not be GOD, would you say well and good?" |
| 45187 | Out of the Bill, good Fellow? |
| 45187 | Sees who? |
| 45187 | Soe then, Sweetheart, he sayth,''Come tell me, Mrs._ Alice_, how long do you think we might reckon on living to enjoy it?'' 45187 Then you are not one already?" |
| 45187 | There bides poor_ Joan_ and I. Wilt come and looke within, Mistress, and see how a Christian can die? |
| 45187 | Very likely,says Father,"and my Name is_ More_, but what is that to the Purpose?" |
| 45187 | We know alreadie,quoth I. Sayth_ Will_,"What do we know?" |
| 45187 | Well answered, Mistress,says_ Patteson_,"but tell me, why do you wear two Crosses?" |
| 45187 | Well, and what if I can not? |
| 45187 | Well, but who are you? |
| 45187 | What know I? |
| 45187 | What? |
| 45187 | Why are you so lazy? |
| 45187 | Why, soe I mighte,says_ Father_,"but how shoulde I have proved it?" |
| 45187 | Will you never forget that unlucky Beverage? |
| 45187 | You are then,_ Father_, put out of the Bill? |
| 45187 | ''And woulde you, my Wife,''he returned,''have me die guilty?''" |
| 45187 | ''Does he steal them?'' |
| 45187 | ''Twas onlie on the Last Count he could be made out a Traitor, and Proof of''t had they none; how coulde they have? |
| 45187 | ''Twas the dearest Privilege of my_ Lord Chancellor_; but now he''s dead and gone, how shall we contract the Charges of Sir_ Thomas More_?" |
| 45187 | ''What were they about there?'' |
| 45187 | --Was there ever Aniething soe perverse, unluckie, and downrighte disagreeable? |
| 45187 | ... And how goes the Court,_ Meg_?" |
| 45187 | ... Soe then I say,''What Thing?'' |
| 45187 | After a Moment, I asked,"Where lies your Dwelling?" |
| 45187 | And have not I done so alreadie? |
| 45187 | And methought, can not I live apart from Sin here, and now; and as to Sorrow, where can we live apart from that? |
| 45187 | And we''re scarce off our Knees, when I''m fetched away; and I say,''When will you change your Note, and act like a wise Man?'' |
| 45187 | Art mad to go on this Errand?" |
| 45187 | At Table, Discourse flowed soe thicke and faste that I mighte aim in vayn to chronicle it-- and why should I? |
| 45187 | At last he says,--"Who was that old Prophet that could not or would not prophesy for a King of_ Judah_ till a Minstrel came and played unto him? |
| 45187 | At the Stairs lay a Wherry with a Couple of Boatmen, and one of''em stepping up to me, cries,"Alas for ruth, Mistress_ Meg_, what is''t ye do? |
| 45187 | At the same Time a familiar Voice exclaimed,"Canst tell us, Mistress, why Fools have hot Heads and Hands icy cold?" |
| 45187 | But tell me now, dear Father, is it then a Sin to eat Fowls?'' |
| 45187 | But,_ Meg_, is this the Principle of our Church?" |
| 45187 | By the Way,_ Desiderius_, why shouldst thou not submitt thy Subtletie to the Rules of a Colloquy? |
| 45187 | Can you read and write?" |
| 45187 | Canst tell me, Mistress, why the Peacock was the last Bird that went into the Ark?" |
| 45187 | Doe you take me, Mistress?" |
| 45187 | Enough, enough, my Child; what mean ye, to weep and break mine Heart? |
| 45187 | From_ Wareham_, who ever departed in Sorrow?" |
| 45187 | Have I cured the Payn in thy Head?" |
| 45187 | Have we a righte to believe noughte but what we can see or prove? |
| 45187 | Have you ne''er before noted these Signs?" |
| 45187 | He is alwaies too busie now... besides,--""Father_ Francis_?" |
| 45187 | He repeated"Friendlesse? |
| 45187 | He sayth,"What hast thou,_ Meg_?" |
| 45187 | He wanted a Peg to hang his Thoughts upon----""A Peg? |
| 45187 | He whispered,"_ Meg_, for_ Christ''s_ Sake do n''t unman me; thou''lt not deny my last Request?" |
| 45187 | How couldst find Time for soe much Labour? |
| 45187 | I am young, I have much to learn, I love my Studdies,--why interrupt them with other and less wise Thoughts?" |
| 45187 | I askt,"Of what?" |
| 45187 | I exclaymed;"_ Will_ is very well in his way: why should we cross each other''s Paths? |
| 45187 | I have writ somewhat after this Fashion to him...."What do you think, most dear_ Father_, doth comfort us at_ Chelsea_, during this your Absence? |
| 45187 | I held her back and said,"What is to do?" |
| 45187 | I made Answer,"Canst tell me,_ Patteson_, why Fools should stray out of Bounds?" |
| 45187 | I rise, move the Lamp, and say,"Do you see it now?" |
| 45187 | I sayd,"Is there Aught we can doe for thee?" |
| 45187 | I sayd,"_ Gammer_, to what Purpose gather that Weed? |
| 45187 | I sayd,"_ Mercy_, thou lookst like a Nun: how is''t thou hast ne''er become one in Earnest?" |
| 45187 | If, to alle human Reason, they pull opposite Ways, by which shall we abide? |
| 45187 | Laying his Hand kindly on my Shoulder, this Morning, he sayd,"_ Meg_, how fares it with thee now? |
| 45187 | Nay, do n''t we know you can declaime backward and forwarde on the same Argument, as you did on the_ Venetian_ War?" |
| 45187 | Of Erasmus who shall speak in a few words? |
| 45187 | Oh, wicked Woman, how could you?... |
| 45187 | Poor Wretch, hath this then beene thy Toyl? |
| 45187 | Sayth_ Bess_,"Sure,_ Mother_, that was cold Comfort.... And what next?" |
| 45187 | Sayth_ Patteson_,"Canst tell me, Mistress, why Peacocks have soe manie Eyes in theire Tails, and yet can onlie see with two in theire Heads?" |
| 45187 | She started; then sayd,"Could I be more usefull? |
| 45187 | Soe then he puts me off with Questions, How is_ Will_? |
| 45187 | Soe then he sayeth,''Is not this House, Sweetheart, as nigh Heaven as mine own?'' |
| 45187 | Soon I founde him, sitting in a Muse; and said,"_ Will_, deare_ Will_?" |
| 45187 | Sure, you lookt not to see Master_ Heron_ making towards us between the Posts and Flower- pots, eating a dried Ling?" |
| 45187 | Sure,_ Meg_, who would live, that coulde die? |
| 45187 | Was it true? |
| 45187 | Was''t less Feeling, or more Strength of Body, enabled me to bide at the Tower Wharf with_ Dancey_? |
| 45187 | What Cause have I, then, to care soe greatlie for a House that woulde soe soone forget its Master?''" |
| 45187 | What coulde I doe, even in my Dreame, but fall at his Feet? |
| 45187 | What coulde I doe, waking, but the same? |
| 45187 | What were_ Erasmus_ and I, dost thou suppose, at_ Will''s_ age? |
| 45187 | Who knoweth at Sunrise what will chance before Sunsett? |

| 45187 | persisted_ Will_;"where''s your Warrant for it?" |
| 45187 | says_ Father_, somewhat heating;"how can that be compassed in a Way so abhorrent to my Genius? |
| 45187 | says_ Father_,"and what do you want of me?" |
| 45187 | what ailed thee to refuse the Oath? |
| 45187 | when?'' |
| 45187 | whom have I defrauded? |
| 45187 | whom have I oppressed? |

| 8120 | What is it that distresses thee, little sinner? 8120 10:Si bona suscepimus de manu Dei, mala quare non suscipiamus?" |
| 8120 | 17:"Numquid homo Dei comparatione justificabitur?" |
| 8120 | 20:"Dæmonium habet et insanit: quid Eum auditis?" |
| 8120 | 22:"Potestis bibere calicem?" |
| 8120 | 24:"Quis me liberabit de corpore mortis hujus?" |
| 8120 | 4:"Ubi est Deus tuus?" |
| 8120 | 7. Who can look upon our Lord, covered with wounds, and bowed down under persecutions, without accepting, loving, and longing for them? |
| 8120 | 7:"Quis dabit mihi pennas sicut columbæ?" |
| 8120 | All my service of God there was lip- service: why did I, having the opportunity of living in greater perfection, neglect it? |
| 8120 | All used to say, If she does not sin against God, and acknowledges her own misery, what has she to be afraid of? |
| 8120 | Am I not thy God? |
| 8120 | Among them were these, while showing how He loved me:"I give thee My Son, and the Holy Ghost, and the Virgin: what canst thou give Me?" |
| 8120 | And if the more we serve Him, the more we become His debtors, what is it, then, we are asking for? |
| 8120 | And what greater gain can we have than some testimony of our having pleased God? |
| 8120 | Are we striving after union with God? |
| 8120 | But do we suppose that God is better pleased when men account us wise and discreet persons? |
| 8120 | But how could my spirit be quiet? |
| 8120 | But how is it that they are not many who, in consequence of these sermons, abstain from public sins? |
| 8120 | But so great a blessing, what harm can it do? |
| 8120 | But what will be its sufferings when it returns to the use of the senses, to live in the world, and go back to the anxieties and the fashions thereof? |
| 8120 | Can the Father be without the Son and without the Holy Ghost? |
| 8120 | Can we be thus bold with the kings of this world? |
| 8120 | Comparisons are always bad, even in earthly things; what, then, must they be in that, the knowledge of which God has reserved to Himself? |
| 8120 | Could the Son create an ant without the Father? |
| 8120 | Do we not know that he can not stir without the permission of God? |
| 8120 | Do you, my father, know wherein much of this fire consists? |
| 8120 | Dost Thou not remember that this my soul has been an abyss of lies and a sea of vanities, and all my fault? |
| 8120 | Dost thou not see how ill I am treated here? |
| 8120 | For how can we, by any efforts of ours, picture to ourselves the Humanity of Christ, and imagine His great beauty? |
| 8120 | For how shall he be useful, and how shall he spend liberally, who does not know that he is rich? |
| 8120 | For if our Lord has been thus gracious to so-- miserable a thing as myself, what will He be to those who shall serve Him truly? |
| 8120 | For the rest, it is enough that I am a woman to make my sails droop: how much more, then, when I am a woman, and a wicked one? |
| 8120 | For what is he worth, O my Lord, who does not utterly abase himself to nothing for Thee? |
| 8120 | He confessed his other sins but of this one he used to say, How can I confess so foul a sin? |
| 8120 | He said to me,"Why are you astonished at it? |
| 8120 | He then said:"How did you know that it was Christ?" |
| 8120 | He would ask me whether I told him the truth so far as I knew it; or, if not, had I intended to deceive him? |
| 8120 | How can I open my mouth, that has uttered so many words against Him, to receive that most glorious Body, purity and compassion itself? |
| 8120 | How can I show My love for thee better than by desiring for thee what I desired for Myself? |
| 8120 | How can that love Thou hast for me endure this? |
| 8120 | How could I possibly take any pleasure in those things which led me directly to so dreadful a place? |
| 8120 | How is it that the understanding has time enough to arrange these locutions? |
| 8120 | How is it, I ask again, that the same Lord brings it to the perfection of virtue only in the course of time? |
| 8120 | How is this consistent with Thy compassion? |
| 8120 | How is this, O my God? |
| 8120 | How much more, then, the thinking of heavenly things? |
| 8120 | How, then, is it that we see the Three Persons distinct? |
| 8120 | I have spoken amiss; I ought to have said, and my complaint should have been, why is it we do not? |
| 8120 | I was once thinking whether I was to be sent to reform a certain monastery;[ 9] and, distressed at it, I heard:"What art thou afraid of? |
| 8120 | If His Majesty repays us so abundantly, that even in this life the reward and gain of those who serve Him become visible, what will it be in the next? |
| 8120 | If thou lovest Me, why art thou not sorry for Me? |
| 8120 | If, then, the soul should be wholly engulfed, what then? |
| 8120 | In the extremity of my trouble, our Lord said to me:"Knowest thou not that I am the Almighty? |
| 8120 | Is it anything of worth, and anything lasting? |
| 8120 | Is it possible to love the Father without loving the Son and the Holy Ghost? |
| 8120 | Is it possible, O my Lord, that I could have had the thought, if only for an hour, that Thou couldst be a hindrance to my greatest good? |
| 8120 | Is it true that in religious houses no explanations are necessary, for it is only reasonable we should be excused these observances? |
| 8120 | Is there any way at all for me to go on which is not a going back? |
| 8120 | It is abiding alone with Him: what has it to do but to love Him? |
| 8120 | It may be that I knew Thee not when I sinned against Thee; but how could I, having once known Thee, ever think I should gain more in this way? |
| 8120 | It remembers the words:"Who shall be just in Thy presence?" |
| 8120 | It was enough for me to recite the Office, as all others did; but as I did not that much well, how could I desire to do more? |
| 8120 | Knowest thou what it is to love Me in truth? |
| 8120 | Look at Me, poor and despised of men: are the great people of the world likely to be great in My eyes? |
| 8120 | Many other things I should like to say of him, if I were not afraid, my father, that you will say, Why does she meddle here? |
| 8120 | O my God, was there ever blindness so great as this? |
| 8120 | O my God, what must that soul be when it is in this state? |
| 8120 | O my God, why is their soul still on the earth? |
| 8120 | On other occasions, the soul seems to be, as it were, in the utmost extremity of need, asking itself, and saying,"Where is Thy God?" |
| 8120 | Once, when I was much distressed at this, our Lord said to me, What was I afraid of? |
| 8120 | One vision alone of Him is enough to effect this; what, then, must all those visions have done, which our Lord in His mercy sent me? |
| 8120 | Our Lord said this to me one day:"Thinkest thou, My daughter, that meriting lies in fruition? |
| 8120 | Seest thou all her penance? |
| 8120 | Shall we not at least weep with the daughters of Jerusalem,[ 12] if we do not help to carry his cross with the Cyrenean? |
| 8120 | Then, if each one is by Himself, how can we say that the Three are one Essence, and so believe? |
| 8120 | They asked, how could I, who had not kept the rule in that house, think of keeping it in another of stricter observance? |
| 8120 | Those which our Lord gives, what are they? |
| 8120 | Thou seekest to have the counsels of men in writing; why, then, thinkest thou that thou art wasting time in writing down those I give thee? |
| 8120 | To what torments could she be then exposed, that would not be delicious to endure for her Lord? |
| 8120 | Was there ever blindness so great as mine? |
| 8120 | What can it mean, O my Lord? |
| 8120 | What does it mean? |
| 8120 | What does it mean? |
| 8120 | What have I been thinking of? |
| 8120 | What is there that is procurable by this money which we desire? |
| 8120 | What keeps him back who does so much for God? |
| 8120 | What must St. Paul and the Magdalene, and others like them, have suffered, in whom the fire of the love of God has grown so strong? |
| 8120 | What should I have done without these persons? |
| 8120 | What should have been my thoughts, then, on those two occasions when I saw what I have described? |
| 8120 | What should we be without them in the midst of these violent storms which now disturb the Church? |
| 8120 | What think you must be the power of His Majesty, seeing that in so short a time it leaves so great a blessing and such an impression on the soul? |
| 8120 | What use is there in governing oneself by oneself, when the whole will has been given up to God? |
| 8120 | What was I, then, afraid of? |
| 8120 | What will they do who are only just born, and who may live many years? |
| 8120 | What, then, must it be to see a soul in danger of pain, the most grievous of all pains, for ever? |
| 8120 | What, then, must it be when I hear so many? |
| 8120 | What, then, once more, will the gardener do now? |
| 8120 | When I was in this distress, and afflicted by many occasions of disquiet wherein I was placed, our Lord spoke to me, saying:"What art thou afraid of? |
| 8120 | Whence are all my blessings? |
| 8120 | Where could I think I should find help but in Thee? |
| 8120 | Where was I? |
| 8120 | Which is better, poverty or charity? |
| 8120 | Who can endure it? |
| 8120 | Who can hinder this, seeing that it could be fashioned by the understanding? |
| 8120 | Who is there, O Lord of my soul, that is not amazed at compassion so great and mercy so surpassing, after treason so foul and so hateful? |
| 8120 | Why do we seek blessings and joys so great, bliss without end, and all at the cost of our good Jesus? |
| 8120 | Why has it not arrived at the summit of perfection? |
| 8120 | Why have I not strength enough to fight against all hell? |
| 8120 | Why should I not believe them? |
| 8120 | Why should it not rather proceed to other matters which our Lord places before it, and for neglecting which there is no reason? |
| 8120 | Why, then, did I fail in courage to serve One to whom I owed so much? |
| 8120 | Why, then, do we desire it? |
| 8120 | Why, then, give graces so high to souls who have been such great sinners? |
| 8120 | You, my father, will ask me: How comes it, then, that a rapture occasionally lasts so many hours? |
| 8120 | [ 13] Is it by pleasure and idle amusements that we can attain to the fruition of what He purchased with so much blood? |
| 8120 | [ 15] So I said to myself: Who is He, that all my faculties should thus obey Him? |
| 8120 | [ 19] What do we think we can do? |
| 8120 | [ 4] But what must that of the Virgin have been? |
| 8120 | [ 7] He filled me with such thoughts as these: How could I make my prayer, who was so wicked, and yet had received so many mercies? |
| 8120 | [ 7] O my Lord, what does it mean? |
| 8120 | ah, if Thou didst not throw a veil over Thy greatness, who would dare, being so foul and miserable, to come in contact with Thy great Majesty? |
| 8120 | and how is it that the Son, not the Father, nor the Holy Ghost, took human flesh? |
| 8120 | are they not from Thee? |
| 8120 | aut quo operiemur?" |
| 8120 | how can it be that mercies and graces so great should fall to the lot of one who has so ill deserved them at Thy hands? |
| 8120 | how shall I be able to magnify the graces which Thou, in those years, didst bestow upon me? |
| 8120 | knowest thou not that I am almighty? |
| 8120 | or is it descent or virtue that is to make you esteemed?" |
| 8120 | what am I afraid of? |
| 8120 | what art thou afraid of?" |
| 8120 | what has the servant to do with her Lord, and earth with heaven? |
| 8120 | what is it? |
| 8120 | who can describe Thy Majesty? |
| 52225 | And before that? 52225 And those white hairs?" |
| 52225 | And ye go?... |
| 52225 | At the contact of the woman who had an issue of blood, Jesus turned and said,''Who hath touched my garments?'' 52225 But Substance being unique, wherefore should forms be varied? |
| 52225 | But art thou sure thou dost see?--art thou even sure thou dost live? 52225 But of whom art thou speaking?" |
| 52225 | But what has come upon me? 52225 But who may he be?" |
| 52225 | Can the desire of thy mind create the law of the universe? 52225 Can there be such things in the world?" |
| 52225 | Could it be possible? |
| 52225 | Did he not seek to kill Moses, to deceive his own prophets, to seduce nations?--did he not sow falsehood and idolatry broadcast? |
| 52225 | Do ye not hear me? 52225 Dost thou desire them?" |
| 52225 | Dost thou not think that they... sometimes... bear much resemblance to the TRUE? |
| 52225 | Dost thou wish me to make him appear, thy Jesus? |
| 52225 | Eagle of apotheoses, what wind from Erebus has wafted thee to me? 52225 Eh? |
| 52225 | Hast ever pressed to thy bosom a virgin who loved thee? 52225 How can martyrdom prove the excellence of the doctrine, inasmuch as it bears equal witness for error?" |
| 52225 | How can that be? 52225 How just a man? |
| 52225 | In truth? |
| 52225 | Is it possible? |
| 52225 | Is it through impotence that he endures it, or through cruelty that he maintains it? 52225 Is the fault mine? |
| 52225 | It is thy fault, Amphytrionad;--wherefore didst thou descend into my empire? 52225 May not Form be, perhaps, an error of thy senses,--Substance a figment of thy imagination?" |
| 52225 | Of what art thou dreaming, that thou dost not speak? |
| 52225 | Shall I tell thee where grows the plant Balis, that resurrects the dead? |
| 52225 | Then it is needless for thee to serve God? |
| 52225 | Then the Scriptures are useless? |
| 52225 | Then what is the Word?... 52225 Then ye come?..." |
| 52225 | Thou canst even now imagine thyself walking with her-- canst thou not?--in the wood by the light of the moon? 52225 Thou wilt not deny that he sought to corrupt Eustates, the treasurer of largesses?" |
| 52225 | What can be their motive? |
| 52225 | What do they desire? |
| 52225 | What goddess? |
| 52225 | What is thy desire? 52225 What joy is there for me? |
| 52225 | What makes thee sorrowful? |
| 52225 | What matters it? 52225 What signifies the hierarchy of turpitudes? |
| 52225 | What signifies this?... |
| 52225 | What then?... |
| 52225 | What tradition? |
| 52225 | What, then, were those of Babylon? |
| 52225 | What? 52225 What? |
| 52225 | Wherefore absurd? |
| 52225 | Wherefore? |
| 52225 | Whither do I go? 52225 Why did he receive the Holy Spirit, being himself Son of the Holy Spirit? |
| 52225 | Why dost thou utter exorcisms? |
| 52225 | Why not? 52225 Why? |
| 52225 | Will she not have cursed me for having abandoned her?--will she not have plucked out her white hair by handfuls in the despair of her grief? 52225 Wouldst thou have done so much?--thou?" |
| 52225 | Yet for what purpose?... 52225 Yet whither goest thou, that thou shouldst run so fast?" |
| 52225 | Yet why?... 52225 Yet would they have made any? |
| 52225 | ''_[ 1]"Then the Lord desired that his apostle should eat of all things?... |

| 18787 | Are you very sure of that? |
| 18787 | But how shall we know which one God wills? |
| 18787 | But, my father, are not you men like me? 18787 Do n''t you see that he is thinking of taking a wife?" |
| 18787 | Do you think,replied Francis warmly, and as if moved by prophetic inspiration,"that God raised up the Brothers for the sake of this country alone? |
| 18787 | Father,he said,"it is useless for you to disturb yourself for what you can not hinder; but, tell me, how much wine do you get on an average?" |
| 18787 | Here,he said, holding out to him a double handful of coins which he took from Bernardo''s robe,"here; are you sufficiently paid now?" |
| 18787 | How can I endure patiently continual pains which torture me day and night? 18787 I am the herald of the great King,"he answered"but what is that to you?" |
| 18787 | Of what order are you? |
| 18787 | That is all very well, but what can you do for me more than they? |
| 18787 | What are you saying? |
| 18787 | What is it, brother, what do you want of me again? |
| 18787 | What is the matter with you? |
| 18787 | Whence come you? |
| 18787 | Where was I when I told you to do whatever your minister told you as to the psalter? |
| 18787 | Wherefore, then, have you sent your brethren so far away, exposing them thus to starvation and all sorts of perils? |
| 18787 | Wherefore,said the God of old Isaiah,"do you weigh money for that which is not meat? |
| 18787 | Which one shall we take? |
| 18787 | Who are you? |
| 18787 | Why do you lay at my door things with which I have nothing to do? 18787 Why have you permitted these lewd fellows to stay under our portico?" |
| 18787 | Why thee? 18787 Why,"he asked,"since you are poor, will you not accept like the others?" |
| 18787 | You come here,he said,"expecting to find a great saint; what will you think when I tell you that I ate meat all through Advent? |

| 18787 | After going on a certain time,"Is it true,"he said,"that you are Brother Francis of Assisi?" |
| 18787 | After that, what did it matter that Francis''s tears became more abundant to the point of making him blind for a fortnight? |
| 18787 | Afterward, when his companions, who had not had the courage to remain, came back he said to them, smiling,"Oh, cowardly folk, why did you go away? |
| 18787 | Am I, then, responsible for their souls?" |
| 18787 | And all of St. Francis in his address to brother wolf and his sermon to the birds? |
| 18787 | And how is it that the bulls sent to the seven bishops have left not the slightest trace upon this pontiff''s register? |

| 18787 | Did not Jesus, the Virgin, the disciples live on bread bestowed? |
| 18787 | Did the Italian translator think there was an error in this quotation? |

| 18787 | Do we now understand his pain? |
| 18787 | Does he not hold his message from Christ himself? |
| 18787 | Does it not by itself alone reveal the freshness, the youth, the kindness of heart of the first Franciscans? |
| 18787 | Does not this suggest the idea that the pontiff had perhaps named a commission of cardinals to oversee the Brothers Minor? |
| 18787 | Does this give us reason clamorously to condemn Ugolino and the pope? |
| 18787 | Evidently all these abuses are displeasing to you; but then, people ask, why do you tolerate them?" |
| 18787 | FOOTNOTES:[ 1] Thirty- sixth and last strophe of the song_ Amor de caritade Perche m''hai si ferito?_ found in the collection of St. Francis''s works. |
| 18787 | For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? |
| 18787 | Had Clara and Francis foreseen the difficulties which they would meet? |
| 18787 | Had he been ill? |
| 18787 | Had he come to see that the necessities of life were to sully and blight his dream? |
| 18787 | Had he discovered the warning signs of the misfortunes which were to come upon his family? |
| 18787 | Had he seen in the check of his missions in Syria and Morocco a providential indication that he had to change his method? |
| 18787 | Had this scene frightened the Benedictines? |
| 18787 | Has not the passion for worm- eaten speculations yet made victims enough? |
| 18787 | Has not this artless scene a delicious and poignant sweetness? |
| 18787 | Have not these artless repetitions a mysterious charm which steals deliciously into the very depths of the heart? |
| 18787 | Have we not seen generals who preferred to lose a battle rather than gain it with the aid of guerrillas? |
| 18787 | Have we reason to blame Celano? |
| 18787 | He desired to be a man of the Gospel, an apostolic man, but was not the best way of becoming such to obey the Roman pontiff, the successor of Peter? |
| 18787 | He might perhaps have been a great doctor, but would he have become the Saviour of the world? |
| 18787 | He thought himself obeying God in defending his own inspiration, but does not the Church speak in the name of God? |
| 18787 | How be sad when in spite of falls one never ceases to make progress? |
| 18787 | How could he better have declared his purposes or revealed his dreams? |
| 18787 | How could he refuse a hospitality so thoroughly Franciscan? |
| 18787 | How far did the young man permit himself to be led on? |
| 18787 | How is it going to be marked? |
| 18787 | How many times had he not been reminded that a great association, in order to exist, must have precise and detailed regulations? |
| 18787 | How refuse it when there were so many works to found? |
| 18787 | How shall one be melancholy who has in the heart an inexhaustible treasure of life and truth which only increases as one draws upon it? |
| 18787 | Is he not an ambassador of God? |
| 18787 | Is it not a mistake? |
| 18787 | Is it presumptuous to ask our readers to try to understand the thirteenth century and love St. Francis? |
| 18787 | Is not all Francis in this choice? |
| 18787 | Is not devotion always blind? |
| 18787 | Is not this a charming incident? |
| 18787 | Is there not in them a sort of sacrament of which the words are only the rude vehicle? |
| 18787 | Is there such a thing as the important and the secondary? |
| 18787 | Is this perhaps a mistake? |
| 18787 | Is this to say that I have only desired to give the reader a moment of diversion? |
| 18787 | Must they not, by any means, prevent this abomination in the holy place? |
| 18787 | Must we renounce the use of this weapon against the enemies of the faith? |
| 18787 | Must we see in this a pious fraud to weaken the numberless clear declarations of Francis against learning? |
| 18787 | Of course Francis''s humility was doubted by no one, but why not manifest it, not only in costume and manner of living, but in all his acts? |
| 18787 | Of what consequence are the names of those early disciples who are entirely secondary in the history of the Franciscan movement? |
| 18787 | One day a brother of whom he asked,"Whence do you come?" |
| 18787 | Ought we, perhaps, to read di Campello? |

| 18787 | Thou wishest to know? |
| 18787 | Was he a native of the town of Catana? |
| 18787 | Was he trying to divert his mind, to forget that day of bitter thought? |
| 18787 | Was he wrong? |
| 18787 | Was it not rendering a great service to those to whom they resorted to teach them charity? |
| 18787 | Was not the mountain that of his sufferings, the temptation to murmur and despair? |
| 18787 | Was the knight of Christ then going to give up his arms? |
| 18787 | Was there a work of this name? |
| 18787 | What does it matter whether there were two, three, or four missions before the papal approbation? |
| 18787 | What else could they do, on arriving in a country, but answer those who asked for news? |
| 18787 | What had he been doing those eight months? |
| 18787 | What happened next? |
| 18787 | What has happened? |
| 18787 | What ought I not to have done when he came in the name of God? |
| 18787 | What separates this prayer from the effort to discern duty made by choice spirits apart from all revealed religion? |
| 18787 | What shall we say of a biography where Francis''s Will is not even mentioned? |
| 18787 | What was Francis doing all this time? |
| 18787 | What was said to him by the stable where the Son of Mary was born, the workshop where he toiled, the olive- tree where he accepted the bitter cup? |
| 18787 | What were his views on the subject of learning? |
| 18787 | When shall we find some one who can and will undertake to make a scientific edition of them? |
| 18787 | When they arrived at the court the king admired their beauty, and finding in them his own likeness he asked,"Whose sons are you?" |
| 18787 | Whence comes it, then, that it should be thee whom the world desires to follow?" |
| 18787 | Where are they who have stolen away my family?" |
| 18787 | Which is the more beautiful, the ideal temple of the artist''s fancy, or the poor chapel of reality? |
| 18787 | Who knows even that it was not the Calabrian Seer who awoke his heart to its transports of love? |
| 18787 | Who knows whether conscience was not already murmuring a reproach, and showing him how trivial were all the sophisms which had been woven around him? |
| 18787 | Who knows whether the joy which he would have felt in seeing France did not confirm him in the idea that he ought to renounce this plan? |
| 18787 | Who would dare say so? |
| 18787 | Whom, if not him who was afterward to appear as the Anti- Francis?) |
| 18787 | Why had he deserted his post, given up the direction of his family, if not from idleness and selfishness? |
| 18787 | Why had he not gone home to preside at the chapter? |
| 18787 | Why should it take three to write a few pages? |
| 18787 | Why should we not have here some fragments of the original legend of the Three Companions? |
| 18787 | Why thee? |
| 18787 | Why thee?" |
| 18787 | Why this solemn enumeration of Brothers whose testimony and collaboration are asked for? |
| 18787 | [ 29] Had he been belated by some mission? |
| 18787 | [ 3] Did these merely exterior demonstrations disgust him? |
| 18787 | [ 3] Who knows if some one will not arise to take up his work? |
| 18787 | [ 55] What more natural than to put Thomas of Celano at its head? |
| 18787 | [ 8] Why did he not apply to one of the Brothers of the Saint''s immediate circle? |

| 14072 | Altogether to that which shall be somewhere punished? |
| 14072 | And to what do they amount? |
| 14072 | And what do those works present to us, on the subject of the Invocation and worship of the Virgin Mary? |
| 14072 | And what is the tendency of this service? |
| 14072 | Are they so revealed? |
| 14072 | As they burst in, and some shouted with a voice of phrenzy,"Where is the traitor?" |
| 14072 | But by a consciousness of this liability in all things human, must we be tempted to suppress the truth? |
| 14072 | But can this be so? |
| 14072 | But closing the holy volume, what light does primitive antiquity enable us to throw on this subject? |
| 14072 | But does Origen, therefore, countenance any invocation of them? |
| 14072 | But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother, and who are my brethren? |
| 14072 | But then what becomes of his authority as a writer citing testimony? |
| 14072 | But what is the fact? |
| 14072 | But what? |
| 14072 | But, are you afraid to approach even Him? |
| 14072 | But, can this be right and safe? |
| 14072 | Can any words place more on an entire level with each other, the eternal Son of God and the Virgin? |
| 14072 | Can it stand this test? |
| 14072 | Can that worship become the disciples of the Gospel and the Cross, which addresses such prayers and such praises to the spirit of a mortal man? |
| 14072 | Can the army of angels be included in that description? |
| 14072 | Can this by any the most subtle refinement be understood to be a mere request to her to pray for us? |
| 14072 | Can we wonder that individuals, high in honour with that Church, have carried out the same worship to far greater lengths? |
| 14072 | Catholic, Apostolical? |
| 14072 | Closing the inspired volume, and seeking at the fountain- head for the evidence of Christian antiquity, what do we find? |
| 14072 | Could any of us address these same words to one of Christ''s ministers on earth? |
| 14072 | Could the beloved John, to whose kind and tender care our blessed Lord gave his mother of especial trust, have offered to her such a prayer as this? |
| 14072 | Could this come from one who invoked angels? |
| 14072 | Dicite quidnam vidistis? |
| 14072 | Did he teach his people to invoke Abraham? |
| 14072 | Do Catholics use stronger words than these? |
| 14072 | Do not ye, saith the Lord, despise one of the least of those who are in the Church? |
| 14072 | Does Gregory assure the faithful that he will implore in humble prayer of Peter and Paul? |
| 14072 | Does Gregory bid the faithful lift up their eyes to Mary the sole destroyer of heresies? |
| 14072 | Does this sound any thing at all like adoration or invocation? |
| 14072 | Either Abraham was in heaven in the presence of God, or not; if he was in heaven, why did not his descendants invoke his aid? |
| 14072 | For how could that authority, which derived its flesh from thy flesh, oppose thy power? |
| 14072 | For if the cause, yea, forasmuch as the cause makes the martyr, did ever a title of holy martyrs exist more glorious? |
| 14072 | For what are the circumstances of the parabolic representation? |
| 14072 | For what prayer can be more spiritual than that which is given to us by Christ, by whom even the Holy Spirit is sent to us? |
| 14072 | For what would he deny to Christ, who for Christ was about to shed his blood? |
| 14072 | How can this be? |
| 14072 | How much time intervened? |
| 14072 | How, in plain honesty, can we avoid coming to the same conclusion on the subject of the invocation of saints? |
| 14072 | In an act of all human acts the most solemn and holy, can recourse be had to such refinements without great danger? |
| 14072 | In terris quis apparuit? |
| 14072 | Is it possible to suppose that this teacher in Christ''s school had any idea of a Christian praying to saints or angels? |
| 14072 | Is the invocation of saints and angels and the blessed Virgin to be made an exception to this rule? |
| 14072 | Is this such an exposition as that the reason of a cultivated mind, and the faith of an enlightened Christian, can acquiesce in it? |
| 14072 | It was in answer to the remonstrance made by Mary,"Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? |
| 14072 | It{ 261} will be well to place that hymn addressed to St. Peter, side by side with the very word of God, and then ask, Can this prayer be safe? |
| 14072 | Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? |
| 14072 | Knew ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?" |
| 14072 | Now, on what authority does this doctrine rest? |
| 14072 | Of what saint in the calendar was ever such a thing as this spoken? |
| 14072 | On what foundation stone is this religious worship built? |
| 14072 | On what foundation, sure and certain, can we build our hopes that"He will favourably with mercy hear our prayers?" |
| 14072 | Or did St. Athanasius think or speak with us, or with Protestants?" |
| 14072 | Or, who are my brethren? |
| 14072 | Quantum temporis intercessit? |
| 14072 | Quomodo mois devoraret, quomodo inferi susciperent, quomodo corruptio invaderit CORPUS ILLUD in quo vita suscepta est? |
| 14072 | Rather, we would reverently ask, would He have given this turn to such an address, had He not desired to check any such feeling towards her? |
| 14072 | Say ye, tell ye, who hath appeared on the earth? |
| 14072 | Say ye, what saw ye? |
| 14072 | Subordinate to this, and necessary for its decision, was involved the question, What part of his nature, if any, Christ derived from the Virgin Mary? |
| 14072 | Such questions as these,"Is there any thing unreasonable in this? |
| 14072 | The answer of the tomb begins thus,"Why seek ye her in a tomb, who has been taken up on high to the heavenly tabernacles?" |
| 14072 | The greatness of his goodness who can adequately express?... |
| 14072 | This, then, is the account nearest to the time of the supposed event; and yet can any thing be more vague, and by way of testimony, more worthless? |
| 14072 | To what flesh? |
| 14072 | To what flesh? |
| 14072 | What can be a more true prayer with the Father than that which came from the lips of the Son, who is Truth? |
| 14072 | What could not such a Son obtain with such a Father? |
| 14072 | What has God promised? |
| 14072 | What has He commanded man to do? |
| 14072 | What has He taught man to hope for? |
| 14072 | What human faculty-- which among the most precious of the Almighty''s blessings is not liable to perversion? |
| 14072 | What impression was it likely to make, and to leave on minds of ordinary powers and instruction? |
| 14072 | What is revealed? |
| 14072 | What is there in reason or revelation to forbid me to do so?" |
| 14072 | What man, when he is in a foreign country, would not hasten to return to his native land?... |
| 14072 | What testimony do the first years and the first ages after the canon of Scripture was closed, bear upon this point? |
| 14072 | What unquestionable moral duty can be found, which has not been transformed by man''s waywardness into an instrument of evil? |
| 14072 | What word would not apply to Him, in most perfect accordance with Scripture language? |
| 14072 | Who can tell of the bond of the love of God? |
| 14072 | Who, without weeping, can relate the rest? |
| 14072 | Whom have I in heaven but Thee? |
| 14072 | Why did not the inspired David invoke the father of the faithful to intercede for him with God? |
| 14072 | Why do we not hasten and run that we may see our country, and salute our parents? |
| 14072 | Why do we spare ourselves? |
| 14072 | Why is no intimation given in the later books of the Old Testament that such supplications were offered to Moses, or Aaron, or Abraham, or Noah? |
| 14072 | Why should I attempt to enter heaven through any other gate than{ 398} that gate which the Lord of heaven has opened for me? |
| 14072 | Why then should a Christian wish to add to that which God has been pleased to appoint and to reveal? |
| 14072 | Will he now have less power and credit? |
| 14072 | Wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?" |
| 14072 | With the Christian the first question is, What is the truth? |
| 14072 | Would any difference have appeared in their external worship? |
| 14072 | Would not this be a welcome tenet, if true?" |

| 9069 | But whom have you loved? 9069 Do we love anything,"he used to say to his friends,"except what is beautiful?" |
| 9069 | Have not the pontiffs, like the poets, a bearded Jupiter and a Mercury without beard?... 9069 If we are lost in your eyes, why follow us about? |
| 9069 | Immortal Paganism, art thou dead? 9069 Is it fit,"he said,"that a bishop should be a shipowner?... |
| 9069 | Mother,said Augustin,"do you not love truth? |
| 9069 | They pulled me,he says,"by the coat of my flesh, and they murmured in my ear-- What, are you leaving us? |
| 9069 | Where wert Thou then, O my God, while I looked for Thee? 9069 Why,"he cries--"Oh, why do you hesitate to give yourselves lest you should lose yourselves? |
| 9069 | --"I love the soul; how therefore should I not love them?" |
| 9069 | A bishop a torturer? |
| 9069 | After all, what are the rivalries of Marius and Sylla to us? |
| 9069 | Ah, when shall this be? |
| 9069 | Amid these controversies, where was the truth? |
| 9069 | Among whom did the Apostolic tradition dwell? |
| 9069 | And besides, in this resolution to exclude, what becomes of the great principle of Charity? |
| 9069 | And even supposing one might save them, retain an ever- uncertain enjoyment of them, was the life of the time really worth the trouble of living? |
| 9069 | And even supposing they were, can the fault of a single man be charged to the whole Church?... |
| 9069 | And even supposing, that in spite of all efforts to save it, the Empire is condemned, must we therefore despair? |
| 9069 | And his reason, which knows him well, answers:"Do you not then love your friends?" |
| 9069 | And then, what tragedy more stirring and painful than the crisis of soul and conscience which tore his life? |
| 9069 | And was not the Gospel ideal essentially more human than that of the pagan philosophers? |
| 9069 | And why this horror of meat? |
| 9069 | Are the old Saturn and the young Apollo so much the property of the poets that we do not see their statues too in the temples?..." |
| 9069 | Are they comfortable for listening? |
| 9069 | Are we to see in Donatism a nationalist or separatist movement directed against the Roman occupation? |
| 9069 | Augustin, breathless in the victorious embrace of Grace, panted:"How long, how long?... |
| 9069 | Boniface was quite capable of answering:"What are you interfering for? |
| 9069 | But can a humble and contrite heart thus take pleasure in human adulation? |
| 9069 | But may not this prohibition provoke husbands to kill their adulterous wives, so as to be free to take a new wife? |
| 9069 | But suddenly she shuddered, raised herself, and asked in a bewildered way:"Where was I?" |
| 9069 | But what matters that, when the continual miracle of his charity and his apostolate is considered? |
| 9069 | By dint of gazing at this, and listening to the praises of the great local author, did the young scholar become aware of his vocation? |
| 9069 | Can it surprise, then, if men so ignorant of high morality, and so deeply embedded in matter, were also plunged in the grossest superstitions? |
| 9069 | Could he leave his mother, his son, his brother, and his cousins? |
| 9069 | Could he manage to silence them at once? |
| 9069 | Did Augustin remember these things? |
| 9069 | Did Monnica observe anything of this change in Augustin? |
| 9069 | Did he wish to hint that at this time Augustin had glided into paganism? |
| 9069 | Did it grieve him very much to make up his mind to this exile? |
| 9069 | Did the mother of Adeodatus justify such attachment-- an attachment which was to last more than ten years? |
| 9069 | Did you not hear? |
| 9069 | Do not all agree that this is the highest stage of philosophy? |
| 9069 | Do they not follow some secret law?..." |
| 9069 | Does not the sleeper wake? |
| 9069 | Does this mean that he found there rich pavements, mosaics, and statues? |
| 9069 | For example: If a man cast off his wife under pretext of adultery, might he marry again? |
| 9069 | For what is it that I would say, O Lord my God, save that I know not whence I came hither into this dying life, shall I call it, or living death?... |
| 9069 | For what sing these poets even to weariness, unless it be that no one can resist the Cyprian goddess, that life has no other end but love? |
| 9069 | For whence, think you, do we implore God to drag us, so that we may be converted and gaze upon His face? |
| 9069 | For, in fact, to whom had he been entrusted? |
| 9069 | Give what? |
| 9069 | Had Augustin a hand in this reconciliation? |
| 9069 | Had Patricius ever seen the girl that he was going to take, according to custom, so as to have a child- bearer and housewife? |
| 9069 | Had not Christ said:"Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world"? |
| 9069 | Had that not been the proud desire of his youth? |
| 9069 | Has your ear betrayed you, or did you want to find out if I was still capable of judging these things?"... |
| 9069 | He said to himself:"Why desire the impossible? |
| 9069 | He seized Alypius roughly by the arm and cried out to him in extraordinary excitement:"What are we about? |
| 9069 | Henceforth, would he be allowed to live a little less as a bishop and a little more as a monk? |
| 9069 | How came it that he was taken in by Boniface? |
| 9069 | How can I hesitate after that to call myself your disciple?" |
| 9069 | How could an African woman, so much attached to her country, agree to be buried in a stranger soil? |
| 9069 | How could he control himself till then? |
| 9069 | How could he part with them? |
| 9069 | How did Augustin ever believe in the goodwill and good faith of this adventurer full of coarse passions, so far as to put his final hopes in him? |
| 9069 | How did Boniface take a letter which was, in the circumstances, so courageous? |
| 9069 | How did Monnica become the wife of Patricius? |
| 9069 | How did the poor creature who had been faithful to him during so many years feel at this ignominious dismissal? |
| 9069 | How was he to keep up his studies without the sums coming from his father? |
| 9069 | How was it possible to doubt that the entire revelation was contained in such beautiful books? |
| 9069 | How was it possible to exhort a victorious general to lay down his arms before the conquered? |
| 9069 | How was it that he who had always had such feeble health undertook at this age the long journey from Hippo to Cæsarea? |
| 9069 | How, indeed, could Augustin consent to take him from her? |
| 9069 | If he loved birds, as a poet who knows not that he is a poet, did he love as well to play at"nuts"? |
| 9069 | If it were otherwise, what was the good of the Redemption? |
| 9069 | If you were beaten there, why do you come here now? |
| 9069 | Immediately he put this question:"Why do those pauses come in the flow of the stream? |
| 9069 | Is he not an adulterer in the eyes of the Church? |
| 9069 | Is it forbidden to eat the meats consecrated to idols, even when a man or woman is dying of hunger? |
| 9069 | Is it not from that jakes of the senses wherein our souls are plunged, and from that darkness of which the error is around us?..." |
| 9069 | Is it wonderful that the Christian lessons of Monnica and the nurses at Thagaste became more and more blurred in Augustin''s mind? |
| 9069 | Is not her song, so harmonious, so suave, so well attuned to the season, the very voice of the spring?..." |
| 9069 | Is not the thought of bringing Him disciples enough to make us joyful? |
| 9069 | It is now that he wrote:"Tell me, does not the nightingale seem to you to modulate her voice delightfully? |
| 9069 | Just how far had Augustin dipped into them? |
| 9069 | May adultery be practised with a woman who promises in exchange to point out heretics?... |
| 9069 | May one enter into agreements with native camel- drivers and carriers who swear by their gods to keep the bargain? |
| 9069 | Might not his passions, which were so violent, begin to torment him again after this respite with greater frenzy than before his conversion? |
| 9069 | Need I name them to you? |
| 9069 | Now, how did it come about that this monstrous loot took on before the eyes of contemporaries the magnitude of a world- catastrophe? |
| 9069 | Now, why was this? |
| 9069 | Or did he lodge with his master, a grammarian, who kept a boarding- house for the boys? |
| 9069 | Or would not rather the struggle continue in the depths of his conscience? |
| 9069 | Pertinax himself, did he not begin as a simple teacher of grammar, and become Proconsul of Africa and then Emperor of Rome? |
| 9069 | Shall it not be, O my God, when we rise again among the dead...?" |
| 9069 | Shall we be no more with you, for ever? |
| 9069 | Shall we be no more with you, for ever? |
| 9069 | Should not these priests, then, in the very interest of the Church, save themselves for quieter times, and escape the persecution by flight? |
| 9069 | So what am I doing here?" |
| 9069 | Suppose he tried to submit to that, to bring the faith of his childhood into line with his ambitions as a young man of intellect? |
| 9069 | Then we turned to each other shuddering, and asked:''How much longer can this last?''..." |
| 9069 | Then what was left to do since truth was unapproachable? |
| 9069 | Then why do you baptize the Catholics under the pretence that their priests are_ traditors_ and as such unworthy to administer the Sacraments? |
| 9069 | Then why should I blush to give you a place among us? |
| 9069 | This unheard- of grace-- would it be granted to him? |
| 9069 | To reign in a little corner of the world-- did Christ die for that? |
| 9069 | To whom did he not write?... |
| 9069 | To- morrow and to- morrow?... |
| 9069 | Was Augustin, who still thought of becoming an official, going to mix in with this lot of swindlers, assassins, and brute beasts? |
| 9069 | Was Aurelius his family name? |
| 9069 | Was he at last to have a chance to rest himself, with the only rest suitable to a soul like his, in a steady meditation and study of the Scriptures? |
| 9069 | Was he going to bury all that in a little town? |
| 9069 | Was he going to do as the Emperor-- remain in the circus taken up with idle pleasures, while others took the road to the sole happiness? |
| 9069 | Was it a nursery- rhyme that the little children of the countryside used to sing? |
| 9069 | Was it indeed the country bishop, or rather the rhetorician Augustin who, in a burst of gratitude, hit upon this sublime sentence? |
| 9069 | Was it not possible to reconcile them? |
| 9069 | Was it possible?... |
| 9069 | Was it really the end of the world, or only the end of a world?... |
| 9069 | Was it that he lacked the gift of teaching? |
| 9069 | Was not this as much as to say that the others belonged to the dissenters? |
| 9069 | Was she pretty, rich, or poor? |
| 9069 | Was this a good time to make a noisy profession of faith, to be enrolled among the ranks of the conquered party? |
| 9069 | Was this the reason that he dealt softly with the native tribes, so as to make certain of their help in case of a conflict with the Imperial army? |
| 9069 | Well, might not the same thing happen if some soldier were to ask you to dinner and obliged you to drink more than is wise? |
| 9069 | What advantage was there in being Christian if they had the same treatment as the idolaters? |
| 9069 | What could be Monnica''s feelings towards a woman who was not even a daughter- in- law and was regarded by her as an intruder? |
| 9069 | What counts a woman before Rome and Carthage? |
| 9069 | What else? |
| 9069 | What greater destiny? |
| 9069 | What matters that, if even in this excess he aims solely at the welfare of souls-- to edify them and set them aglow with the fire of his charity? |
| 9069 | What more could they have wanted? |
| 9069 | What must have been the parting between the child Adeodatus and his mother? |
| 9069 | What was all that to the prize of wisdom? |
| 9069 | What was going to become of him in the great, unknown city? |
| 9069 | What was he going to do? |
| 9069 | What was he to do? |
| 9069 | What was not related about the abominations committed in the mysteries of those people? |
| 9069 | What was the good of keeping up a useless and dangerous resistance? |
| 9069 | What was the use of giving up the illusory realities of the senses, if it were not to get hold of more_ solid_ realities? |
| 9069 | What was there to do against brutal strength? |
| 9069 | What was this refrain? |
| 9069 | What was to prevent his taking his son and going off? |
| 9069 | What''s the use? |
| 9069 | What, in fact, was the most celebrated rhetorician compared to a bishop-- protector of cities, counsellor of emperors, representative of God on earth? |
| 9069 | What, indeed, was he seeking, unless it were to capture this"blessed life"which he had pursued so long? |
| 9069 | What, then, would become of evangelic truth if in such a place the Apostle had lied? |
| 9069 | When a grammarian talked thus, what could have been the thoughts of agricultural labourers, city workmen, and slaves? |
| 9069 | When shall I appear before His face?" |
| 9069 | When shall I be as the swallow? |
| 9069 | When shall I cease to be silent?... |
| 9069 | Where to place it? |
| 9069 | Whither lift it up? |
| 9069 | Who was this friend? |
| 9069 | Who, then, were these terrible Donatists whom we have been continually striking against since the beginning of this history? |
| 9069 | Why do not the dying make it their heir? |
| 9069 | Why does the whiteness of lettuce proclaim to them the Divinity, and the whiteness of cream nothing at all? |
| 9069 | Why not now? |
| 9069 | Why not this hour make an end of my vileness?..." |
| 9069 | Why should he thus put off his return to Africa, he who was so anxious to fly the world? |
| 9069 | Why? |
| 9069 | Without him, what was going to become of her? |
| 9069 | Would he have to go back home? |
| 9069 | Yes, I say, what are we about? |
| 9069 | You allow me to pass two summers-- and two African summers!--in such thirst?... |
| 9069 | _ Non erimus tecum ultra in aeternum?_..."What a dismal sound in these syllables, and how terrifying for a timid soul! |
| 9069 | is this man, all bloody with a murder in his conscience, to walk about for eight days in white robes as a model of innocence and purity?" |
| 9069 | was Catholicism to become an African religion, a restricted sect, wretchedly tied to the letter of tradition, to the exterior practices of worship? |
| 16772 | And do you not think that the great Saints, on their side, seeing what they owe to all little souls, will love them with a love beyond compare? 16772 And how can that be done?" |
| 16772 | And what attracts you? |
| 16772 | And what do you say to Jesus? |
| 16772 | And what is this_ little way_ that you would teach to souls? |
| 16772 | Are not the river and the brook,they urge,"of more use than a dewdrop? |
| 16772 | But have you not always been faithful to those favours? |
| 16772 | But how could you have hidden your innocence from your Confessor? |
| 16772 | But what do you think about? |
| 16772 | But,she answered,"why cry at my death? |
| 16772 | Holy Father,I repeated,"in honour of your jubilee, will you allow me to enter the Carmel when I am fifteen?" |
| 16772 | How comes it,I said,"that you can be so patient? |
| 16772 | How do you manage not to give way to discouragement at such times? |
| 16772 | How is it, Mother, that Our Lord, knowing what was about to happen, did not say to him:''Ask of Me the strength to do what is in thy mind?'' 16772 If you love them that love you, what thanks are to you? |
| 16772 | Is that how a child kisses its father? 16772 No-- they are not terrible: can a little Victim of Love find anything terrible that is sent by her Spouse? |
| 16772 | O my Divine Master,I cried from the bottom of my heart,"shall Thy Justice alone receive victims of holocaust? |
| 16772 | That is true,she replied,"but, do you know what gives me strength? |
| 16772 | To enjoy such a privilege, would it suffice to repeat that Act of Oblation which you have composed? |
| 16772 | We too would like to become all golden-- what must we do? |
| 16772 | What are you doing? |
| 16772 | What are you looking at, Thérèse, dear? |
| 16772 | What are you thinking of? |
| 16772 | What is it you see? |
| 16772 | What would you do,said Thérèse to the impatient one,"if it were not your duty to mend these blankets? |
| 16772 | Why are you so bright this morning? |
| 16772 | Why do you think that, dear Mother? |
| 16772 | Why? |
| 16772 | Will the_ Divine Thief,_ some one asked,"soon come to steal His little bunch of grapes?" |
| 16772 | Would you like me to fetch you thither soon, dear Mother? |
| 16772 | You are suffering very much just now, are you not? |
| 16772 | You see this little glass? |
| 16772 | [ 11] After so many graces, may I not sing with the Psalmist thatthe Lord is good, that His Mercy endureth for ever"? |
| 16772 | [ 13] For what joy can be greater than to suffer for Thy Love? 16772 [ 15] A few minutes after seven, turning to the Prioress, the poor little Martyr asked:"Mother, is it not the agony? |
| 16772 | [ 18] But is this pure love really in my heart? 16772 [ 24]"Then death will come to fetch you?" |
| 16772 | [ 3] And now, Mother, what more shall I say? 16772 [ 46] We know, then, what is this word which must be kept; we can not say, like Pilate:"What is truth? |
| 16772 | [ 6] What will this old age be for me? 16772 [ 8] Is not Jesus your only treasure? |
| 16772 | [ 8] One day she had not brought any-- what was to be done? 16772 ''[ 3]******"What would you do if you could begin over again your religious life?" |
| 16772 | ''And what does Almighty mean?'' |
| 16772 | ''If I were in another convent,''I reflected,''what would it matter to me if the chestnut- trees of the Carmel at Lisieux were entirely cut down?'' |
| 16772 | ''Oh, Mamma,''she answered,''then if I am not good, shall I go to Hell? |
| 16772 | ''Remaining little''--what does it mean?" |
| 16772 | ''Who dare glory in his own good works?'' |
| 16772 | ******"Do you know which are my Sundays and feast- days? |
| 16772 | ******"What do you think of all the graces that have been heaped upon you?" |
| 16772 | ******"You will look down upon us from Heaven, will you not?" |
| 16772 | A whole month has passed since we parted; but why do I say parted? |
| 16772 | Alas, what will become of that poor little heart? |
| 16772 | All was ready for my espousals;[17] but do you not think that something was still wanting to the feast? |
| 16772 | And another time:"You have had many trials to- day?" |
| 16772 | And in face of this folly, what wilt Thou, but that my heart leap up to Thee? |
| 16772 | And now what science is He going to teach? |
| 16772 | And our dear Father!--it is heartrending, but how can we repine since Our Lord Himself was looked upon"as one struck by God and afflicted"? |
| 16772 | And so if holy Priests, whom Our Lord in the Gospel calls the salt of the earth, have need of our prayers, what must we think of the lukewarm? |
| 16772 | And what shall I say of the Holy House? |
| 16772 | Anyone but you, dear Mother, who know me thoroughly, would smile at reading these pages, for has ever a soul seemed less tried than mine? |
| 16772 | Are not my boundless desires but dreams-- but foolishness? |
| 16772 | Are there yet any rose- coloured joys on earth for your little Thérèse? |
| 16772 | Are you much concerned at this moment as to what is happening in other Carmelite convents, and whether the nuns there are busy or otherwise? |
| 16772 | Are you not afraid that I shall let your lambs stray afar? |
| 16772 | Are you not ready to suffer all that God wills? |
| 16772 | But a thought comes into my mind:"Why did God give this light to a child who, if she had understood it, would have died of grief?" |
| 16772 | But does not her royal lover know better than she does, the extent of her poverty and ignorance? |
| 16772 | But from whence comes their light? |
| 16772 | But how shall I show my love, since love proves itself by deeds? |
| 16772 | But no concert is complete without singing, and if Jesus plays, must not Céline make melody with her voice? |
| 16772 | But of what avail to thee, my Jesus, are my flowers and my songs? |
| 16772 | But on whom shall our poor hearts lavish this love, and who will be worthy of this treasure? |
| 16772 | But suppose he heard the whole truth, would he not in that case love him still more? |
| 16772 | But was it possible to be in Rome and not go down to the real Coliseum? |
| 16772 | But what of that? |
| 16772 | But what shall I say? |
| 16772 | But what was I speaking of? |
| 16772 | But where am I? |
| 16772 | But, O my Spouse, why these desires of mine to make known the secrets of Thy Love? |
| 16772 | But, what had I made ready? |
| 16772 | Céline said the other day:''How can God be in such a tiny Host?'' |
| 16772 | Did He not permit Lazarus to die even though Mary and Martha had sent word that he was sick? |
| 16772 | Did not God tell Adam of what he would die when He said to him:''Thou shalt die of death''? |
| 16772 | Did not Jesus cry out:"My father, remove this chalice from Me"? |
| 16772 | Do not creatures belong to Him who made them? |
| 16772 | Do you not find, as I do, that our beloved Father''s death has drawn us nearer to Heaven? |
| 16772 | Do you not know, dear Marie, that by acting thus you help him to accomplish his end? |
| 16772 | Do you remember my telling you, dear Mother, how fond I am of snow? |
| 16772 | Do you remember, dear Mother, the charming little book you gave me three months before the great day? |
| 16772 | Does He not see our anguish and the burden that weighs us down? |
| 16772 | Does not fear lead to the thought of the strict justice that is threatened to sinners? |
| 16772 | Does not the Wise Man tell us--"Life is like a ship that passeth through the waves: when it is gone by, the trace thereof can not be found"? |
| 16772 | Does that please you? |
| 16772 | Does their work prevent you praying or meditating? |
| 16772 | Earth''s air is failing me: when shall I breathe the air of Heaven?" |
| 16772 | For is there anything more sweet than the inward joy of thinking well of our neighbour? |
| 16772 | God has taken from us him whom we loved so tenderly-- was it not that we might be able to say more truly than ever:"Our Father Who art in heaven"? |
| 16772 | Had not Thérèse asked Him to take away her liberty which frightened her? |
| 16772 | Had she anything on her conscience? |
| 16772 | Has He Himself told you so? |
| 16772 | Has anyone ever reproached brothers who fight side by side, or together win the martyr''s palm? |
| 16772 | Has not Our Lord said:"If the salt lose its savour wherewith shall it be salted? |
| 16772 | Has not Thy Merciful Love also need thereof? |
| 16772 | Have I not, then, good reason to say that your lot is a beautiful one-- worthy an apostle of Christ? |
| 16772 | Have we not a glorious mission to fulfill? |
| 16772 | Have we not learned all things from Him? |
| 16772 | He looked at me attentively and smiling said:"Well, and how is our little Carmelite?" |
| 16772 | He looked at me with indescribable tenderness, and, pressing me to his heart, said:"What is it, little Queen? |
| 16772 | Here, during this silent visit, I found my one consolation-- for was not Jesus my only Friend? |
| 16772 | How can I thank Him, how render myself less unworthy of so great a favour? |
| 16772 | How can a soul so imperfect as mine aspire to the plenitude of Love? |
| 16772 | How can anybody fear Him Who allows Himself to be made captive"with one hair of our neck"? |
| 16772 | How can anything so contrary to our natural inclinations afford such extraordinary pleasure? |
| 16772 | How can he who ignores the riches he possesses, spend them generously upon others?" |
| 16772 | How can it be said that it is more perfect to separate oneself from home and friends? |
| 16772 | How could He cleanse in the flames of Purgatory souls consumed with the fire of Divine Love? |
| 16772 | How could I forget those souls they are to win by their sufferings and exhortations? |
| 16772 | How could his little Queen talk of leaving him when he had already parted with his two eldest daughters? |
| 16772 | How could my Mother''s absence grieve me on my First Communion Day? |
| 16772 | How could my trust have any limits? |
| 16772 | How could they stray away? |
| 16772 | How did these three months pass? |
| 16772 | How is it, dear Mother, that my youth and inexperience have not frightened you? |
| 16772 | How reconcile these opposite tendencies? |
| 16772 | How shall I describe the feelings which thrilled me when I gazed on the Coliseum? |
| 16772 | How would it do if I wrote at Easter and described my dream, telling her that Jesus desires to have her for His Spouse?" |
| 16772 | How, then, could I hope soon to be admitted to the Carmel? |
| 16772 | How, therefore, can you expect me to be otherwise than filled with fear?" |
| 16772 | I can not receive Thee in Holy Communion as often as I should wish; but, O Lord, art Thou not all- powerful? |
| 16772 | I knew that Jesus was there asleep in my little boat, but how could I see Him while the night was so dark? |
| 16772 | If the mere desire of Thy Love awakens such delight, what will it be to possess it, to enjoy it for ever? |
| 16772 | If you fought only when you felt eagerness, where would be your merit? |
| 16772 | Is God pleased with me? |
| 16772 | Is He pleased with me?" |
| 16772 | Is it for itself that He made it so sweet? |
| 16772 | Is it not Thyself alone Who hast taught them to me, and canst Thou not unveil them to others? |
| 16772 | Is it not clear that the constant remembrance of gifts bestowed serves to increase the love of the giver? |
| 16772 | Is it not you who have taught me? |
| 16772 | Is not Jesus all- powerful? |
| 16772 | Is not such a choice worthy of God''s Love? |
| 16772 | Is not the apostolate of prayer-- so to speak-- higher than that of the spoken word? |
| 16772 | Is not your life made up of them? |
| 16772 | Is there anyone who will understand it and-- above all-- is there anyone who will be able to repay? |
| 16772 | Is there on the face of this earth a soul more feeble than mine? |
| 16772 | It was through your hands that I gave myself to Our Lord, and you have known me from childhood-- need I write my secrets? |
| 16772 | Jesus has drawn us to Him together, for are you not already His? |
| 16772 | Life is full of sacrifice, it is true, but why seek happiness here? |
| 16772 | Mamma laughingly said he always did whatever I wanted, but he answered:"Well, why not? |
| 16772 | Must I die of sorrow because of my helplessness? |
| 16772 | My companions remarked:"What an ugly thing!--of what use will it be?" |
| 16772 | My companions were astonished, and asked each other afterwards:"Why did she cry? |
| 16772 | My darling Céline, you who asked me so many questions when we were little, I wonder how it was you never asked:"Why has God not made me an Angel?" |
| 16772 | Need I say that in the depths of my heart I felt certain my request would be granted? |
| 16772 | Now,"we shed tears as we remember Sion, for how can we sing the songs of the Lord in a land of exile? |
| 16772 | O Céline, how can I tell you all that is happening within me? |
| 16772 | O my God, what shall we then see? |
| 16772 | O my only Friend, why dost Thou not reserve these infinite longings to lofty souls, to the eagles that soar in the heights? |
| 16772 | Of what avail is it? |
| 16772 | Of what means, then, would He make use? |
| 16772 | Of what, then, need I be afraid? |
| 16772 | One evening, when we went to our prayers, I said to her:"Will you begin the_ Memorare?_ I am going to light the candles." |
| 16772 | Our Beloved Himself fell three times on the way to Calvary, and why should we not imitate our Spouse? |
| 16772 | Pauline put me to bed, and I invariably asked her:"Have I been good to- day? |
| 16772 | Perhaps it is daring, but, for a long time, hast thou not allowed me to be daring with Thee? |
| 16772 | Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks, or shall I drink the blood of goats? |
| 16772 | She added further:"When misunderstood and judged unfavourably, what benefit do we derive from defending ourselves? |
| 16772 | She replied:"Why seek to surmount it? |
| 16772 | Should I run after those which were no longer in sight and so perhaps miss the train, or should I beg for a seat in the carriage of Father Révérony? |
| 16772 | Since when has He lost the right to make use of one of His children, in order to supply the others with the nourishment they need? |
| 16772 | So an act of humility was asked of the Apostles, and Our loving Lord called to them:"Children, have you anything to eat? |
| 16772 | Tell me, Céline, is it for the peach''s own sake that God created that colour so fair to the eye, that velvety covering so soft to the touch? |
| 16772 | The Jews asked Him:"Master, where dwellest thou? |
| 16772 | The day after his execution I hastily opened the paper,_ La Croix,_ and what did I see? |
| 16772 | The dew- drop-- what could be simpler, what more pure? |
| 16772 | Then he turned to me and said:''Well, little Queen, would you like to learn painting too?'' |
| 16772 | Then why should I be troubled? |
| 16772 | There is my sole treasure, dearest Godmother, and why should it not be yours? |
| 16772 | To be Thy Spouse, O my Jesus, to be a daughter of Carmel, and by my union with Thee to be the mother of souls, should not all this content me? |
| 16772 | To such folly as this what answer wilt Thou make? |
| 16772 | Was He not supremely happy in the company of His Father and the Holy Spirit of Love? |
| 16772 | Was it into the shell?" |
| 16772 | Was it not by suffering and death that He ransomed the world? |
| 16772 | Was it not right that this feast should be complete, since in it all other joyful days were reunited? |
| 16772 | Was it not when I saw the Precious Blood flowing from the Wounds of Jesus that the thirst for souls first took possession of me? |
| 16772 | Was not this ardour--"vanity and vexation of spirit"? |
| 16772 | Was this not a sweet response? |
| 16772 | Was this not touching? |
| 16772 | We who live under the law of Love, shall we not profit by the loving advances made by our Spouse? |
| 16772 | Well, you know what I will do-- I shall fly to you in Heaven, and you will hold me tight in your arms, and how could God take me away then?'' |
| 16772 | Were He in search of lofty ideas, has He not His Angels, whose knowledge infinitely surpasses that of the greatest genius of earth? |
| 16772 | Were they not the very ones to help a timid child whom God destines to become an apostle of apostles by prayer and sacrifice? |
| 16772 | What are the hidden treasures which Our Divine Master thus reveals to us through His chosen little servant? |
| 16772 | What are we to think of a novice who must have a walk every day?" |
| 16772 | What can I tell you, dear Mother, about my thanksgivings after Communion? |
| 16772 | What does it matter if we get wet? |
| 16772 | What does it matter, even if you are devoid of courage, provided you act as though you possessed it? |
| 16772 | What have I done for God that He should shower so many graces upon me? |
| 16772 | What is the key of this mystery? |
| 16772 | What is this life which will have no end? |
| 16772 | What is this sweet Friend about? |
| 16772 | What is to become of me? |
| 16772 | What matter if the routes we follow lie apart? |
| 16772 | What matters a little toil upon earth? |
| 16772 | What should I have become, if, as the world outside believed, I had been but the pet of the Community? |
| 16772 | What was He doing during His sweet slumber, and what became of the ball thus cast on one side? |
| 16772 | What was I to do in such a difficulty? |
| 16772 | What will be our joy when we communicate eternally in the dwelling of the King of Heaven? |
| 16772 | What would happen if an ignorant gardener did not graft his trees in the right way? |
| 16772 | What, then, are His loving designs for our souls? |
| 16772 | What, then, have we to envy in the Priests of the Lord? |
| 16772 | What, then, have we to fear? |
| 16772 | When I was only just learning to talk, and Mamma asked:"What are you thinking about?" |
| 16772 | When a soul with childlike trust casts her faults into Love''s all- devouring furnace, how shall they escape being utterly consumed? |
| 16772 | When will you learn to hide your troubles from Him, or to tell Him gaily that you are happy to suffer for Him?" |
| 16772 | Where do you find all that you teach us?" |
| 16772 | Where is the creature so mighty that he can make one flake of it fall to please his beloved? |
| 16772 | Where, then, must we go? |
| 16772 | Which Thérèse will be the more fervent? |
| 16772 | Which of these two ways is more pleasing to Our Lord? |
| 16772 | Who shall tell how many ripened ears have sprung forth since, how many the sheaves that are yet to come? |
| 16772 | Why do I say I am beside myself with joy? |
| 16772 | Why does He deign to say:"Pray ye the Lord of the harvest that He send forth labourers"? |
| 16772 | Why does He not come and comfort us? |
| 16772 | Why had I such a fancy for snow? |
| 16772 | Why, then, come down on earth to seek sinners and make of them His closest friends? |
| 16772 | Why? |
| 16772 | Will He not soon come to fetch me?" |
| 16772 | Will not the God of Infinite Justice, Who deigns so lovingly to pardon the sins of the Prodigal Son, be also just to me"who am always with Him"? |
| 16772 | Will the Angels watch over me?" |
| 16772 | With a heart like mine, I should have been taken captive and had my wings clipped, and how then should I have been able to"fly away and be at rest"? |
| 16772 | Would you then be as the mediocre souls? |
| 16772 | [ 8] How can a heart given up to human affections be closely united to God? |
| 16772 | _ the chariots_--that is to say, the idle clamours which beset and disturb us-- are they within the soul or without? |
| 16772 | ______________________________ CHAPTER VIII PROFESSION OF SOEUR THÉRÈSE Need I tell you, dear Mother, about the retreat before my profession? |
| 16772 | am I not going to die?" |
| 16772 | if he did not understand the nature of each, and wished, for instance, to make roses grow on peach trees? |
| 16772 | must Thy Love which is disdained lie hidden in Thy Heart? |
| 16772 | she answered;"must I not profit of these small opportunities for penance since the greater ones are forbidden me?" |
| 16772 | they were frightened themselves, but Marie, hiding her feelings, ran to me and said:"Why are you calling Papa, when he is at Alençon?" |
| 16772 | what mother would not straightway clasp her child lovingly to her heart, and forget all it had done? |
| 16772 | would not that prove its desire to be identified with the fire to the point of sharing its substance? |
| 13500 | ''And who has told you all this, my child?'' 13500 ''What voices?'' |
| 13500 | ''Who is your Lord, my child?'' 13500 And have you heard nought of the commotion going on there?" |
| 13500 | And how have they of Domremy behaved themselves to her since? |
| 13500 | And if I do, is that so strange? 13500 And then it was that my voices asked of me:''Jeanne, hast thou no fear?'' |
| 13500 | And what answer did the Seigneur de Baudricourt make to her? |
| 13500 | And what thinks De Baudricourt of her mission? 13500 And your parents, what think they of this? |
| 13500 | Are you he whom men call the Bastard of Orleans? |
| 13500 | Are you not afraid, Jeanne,they asked,"of going into battle, of living so strange a life, of being the companion of the great men of the earth?" |
| 13500 | Are you not pleased with them, my child? |
| 13500 | Ay, if the good God will arise to work miracles again, such things might be; but how can we look for Him to do so? 13500 But what matter will that be, when the siege of Orleans shall be raised?" |
| 13500 | But who has told you of this sword, my maiden? |
| 13500 | Child, how dost thou know me? |
| 13500 | Did he dream that? 13500 Did you doubt, Sire?" |
| 13500 | Did your voices speak to you, mistress mine? 13500 Have they bidden you to go back-- to do no more for France?" |
| 13500 | Have you a message from Him to me? |
| 13500 | Have you good spurs, M. de Duc? |
| 13500 | Have you seen the wonderful Maid of whom all the world is talking? |
| 13500 | He gazed upon her full for awhile, and then he suddenly asked of her,''And when shall all these wonders come to pass?'' 13500 How can it be otherwise than for the best?" |
| 13500 | How know you the thing of which you speak, girl? |
| 13500 | How old are you, fair maiden? |
| 13500 | How will it end, my General, how will it end? |
| 13500 | I trow she did,he answered,"but think you that the ribald jests of mortal men can touch one of the angels of God? |
| 13500 | If then the Lord be with us, must we not show ourselves worthy of His holy presence in our midst? 13500 If then, Maiden, you can thus read the future, tell me, shall I recover me of this sickness?" |
| 13500 | If this be so; if, indeed, the Dauphin shall be made King, what matters that I be taken away? 13500 If we believe in the power of the good God, shall we not also believe that He can work even miracles at His holy will?" |
| 13500 | In broad daylight, lady, and before the very eyes of the foe? |
| 13500 | It is no matter,answered the Maid, with shining eyes;"is it anything to my Lord whether He overcomes by many or by few? |
| 13500 | It was even as she said? |
| 13500 | Jeanne-- fairest maiden-- what do you see? |
| 13500 | My daughter,spoke the Abbe gravely,"have you security in your heart that the visions and voices sent to you come of good and not of evil? |
| 13500 | Nay, gentle Dauphin, but that will not be,she said;"One shall increase, another shall decrease-- hath it not ever been so? |
| 13500 | O my father, have you no word for me? 13500 Shall I be believed?" |
| 13500 | Shall I be believed? |
| 13500 | She desires speech with me? 13500 She was beautiful, you say?" |
| 13500 | Sire,she faltered-- and anything like uncertainty in that voice was something new to us--"of what victories do you speak? |
| 13500 | Sweet Chevaliere,he would say, calling her by one of the names which circulated through the Court,"why such haste? |
| 13500 | Then has she indeed wedded? |
| 13500 | Then you believe in her? |
| 13500 | Truly that is so, my father; but is it not also written that those who put their trust in the Lord shall never be confounded? |
| 13500 | Was that all he promised? |
| 13500 | Well, and what make you of the girl? 13500 Went ye into the town today?" |
| 13500 | What are you doing here, ma mie? 13500 What day will that be-- the day after to- morrow?" |
| 13500 | What is it? |
| 13500 | Which way are their faces? |
| 13500 | Why should I tell this to the Seigneur de Baudricourt? |
| 13500 | Why, Maiden, of what speak you? |
| 13500 | Will not your Lord help you yet? 13500 Yet how could it be otherwise, my General, when the soldiers will follow you alone?--when all look to you as their champion and their friend?" |
| 13500 | You fear not, then, to disobey your parents? |
| 13500 | You would not go to mock, friend Jean de Metz? |
| 13500 | A creature of earth or of heaven?" |
| 13500 | Ah!--where had the Maid learned her skill in any kind of warfare? |
| 13500 | And are you not sure in your heart that the cause of the French King will yet triumph?" |
| 13500 | And even so not with all our heart and strength?" |
| 13500 | And how could it be saved if nothing could rouse the King from his slothful indifference? |
| 13500 | And how did we come upon them at last? |
| 13500 | And if that city once fall, why what hope is there even for such remnants of his kingdom as still remain faithful south of the Loire? |
| 13500 | And is it meet that we Christian knights should trust Him less than did the Jews of old?" |
| 13500 | And is it wonderful that it should be so? |
| 13500 | And must not the soldier be obedient above all others? |
| 13500 | And now, what did we see? |
| 13500 | And shall His will be set aside? |
| 13500 | And should we seek to put the message aside as a thing of nought? |
| 13500 | And the battle? |
| 13500 | And was it wonder? |
| 13500 | And was that word lacking? |
| 13500 | And what is this I hear? |
| 13500 | And where is she now? |
| 13500 | And wherefore not now? |
| 13500 | And yet who would have thought it possible three months ago? |
| 13500 | And, look you, what hath she done to the English? |
| 13500 | Are we not vowed to His service? |
| 13500 | Are you well assured in your heart that you are not thus deceived and led away by whispers and suggestions from the father of lies?" |
| 13500 | Ay, verily, and has it not been so? |
| 13500 | But again, had not the Maid ever prevailed in battle over her foes? |
| 13500 | But as for those other words of yours-- what did you mean by them? |
| 13500 | But could it indeed be possible that such a miracle could be wrought, and by an instrument so humble as a village maid-- this Jeanne d''Arc? |
| 13500 | But then his mind did change, and he said to me,''Are you noble?'' |
| 13500 | But wherefore have I been led hither by this bank, instead of the one upon which Talbot and his English lie?" |
| 13500 | But yet why should we fear? |
| 13500 | Can I look to receive the same protection as before? |
| 13500 | Can any man pass through such experiences as mine, and not receive a wound which time can never wholly heal? |
| 13500 | Can you think that the mind of the Lord has changed towards me and towards France? |
| 13500 | Could you believe such folly, such treachery?" |
| 13500 | Did not the cake of barley bread overturn the tent and the camp of the foe?" |
| 13500 | Did not the three hundred with Gideon overcome the hosts of the Moabites? |
| 13500 | Did she not give her daughter to the English King in wedlock, that their child might reign over this fair realm? |
| 13500 | Did she not repudiate her own son? |
| 13500 | Did they understand how much depended upon the rescue of the devoted town? |
| 13500 | Did we doubt her ability, wounded as she was, to lead us? |
| 13500 | Do I not well to be angry?" |
| 13500 | Do not all men trust in you? |
| 13500 | Do they think her a mere beautiful image, to ride before them and carry a white banner to affright the foe? |
| 13500 | Does he ever speak of it?" |
| 13500 | For had not rumours reached the city many times that day of the death of the Deliverer in the hour of victory? |
| 13500 | Great God, but how would it be with our Maid when the real battle and bloodshed should begin? |
| 13500 | Had I not in some sort been witness to a miracle? |
| 13500 | Had I not seen how she was visited by sound or sight not sensible to those around her? |
| 13500 | Had not something very like a miracle been wrought? |
| 13500 | Had we not been asking this from the first? |
| 13500 | Half confounded by her words I asked:"Who is your Lord?" |
| 13500 | Hath He not said before this that He doth take of the mean and humble to confound the great of the earth? |
| 13500 | Hath Orleans fallen into the hands of the English?" |
| 13500 | Have I not ever been ready and longing to lead them against the foe?" |
| 13500 | Have they not fought again and again, and what has come of it but loss and defeat? |
| 13500 | Have you not yet forgiven your little Jeanne? |
| 13500 | Her clear, ringing tones would ask the question:"Shall we, who go forward in the name of the Lord, dare to take His holy name lightly upon our lips? |
| 13500 | How can I do this if you turn back, and take with you the hearts of my men?" |
| 13500 | How can I tell of our entry into Rheims? |
| 13500 | How can I think of it? |
| 13500 | How can my poor pen describe the wonders of the great scene, of which I was a spectator upon that day? |
| 13500 | How can she consort with princes and with peasants?" |
| 13500 | How can she hope to rise?" |
| 13500 | How can the servant be greater than his Lord?" |
| 13500 | How can you witness the joy of a distant village, when you will be leading forward the armies of France to fresh victories?" |
| 13500 | How could I dare question such a being as to her visions? |
| 13500 | How could we expect it to be otherwise if the presence of the Maid were withdrawn? |
| 13500 | How could we hope to lead on the armies to fresh victories, if the soldiers were told that the Maid would no longer march with them? |
| 13500 | How long is this to continue, Robert de Baudricourt?" |
| 13500 | How shall I describe the sight which greeted our eyes in the gathering dusk, as we looked towards the city? |
| 13500 | How shall I tell of the sight I beheld? |
| 13500 | How should she be, indeed, who was looking forward with impatience to her appearance at the Court of an uncrowned King? |
| 13500 | How then could I refuse to do it?" |
| 13500 | How would De Baudricourt take it? |
| 13500 | How would she bear this contradiction and veiled contempt, she who had come to assume the command of the city and its armies at the King''s desire? |
| 13500 | How would the Maid bear it? |
| 13500 | I lowered my voice to a whisper as I said:"You mean the fear lest he was not the true son of the King?" |
| 13500 | I made it my task to see her safely home; and as we went, I asked:"Was it an offence to you, fair Maid, that he should thus seek to test and try you?" |
| 13500 | If a queen-- if an angel-- if a saint from heaven stood in stately calm and dignity before one''s eyes, how could we think of the raiment worn? |
| 13500 | If she be a mad woman, why should I be troubled with her? |
| 13500 | If she can not face a score of simple country nobles here, how can she present herself at Chinon? |
| 13500 | If the Maid who comes from the King of Heaven puts that name upon him, need he fear to take it for his own?" |
| 13500 | If the visions of the maiden had been true, why doth not the Lord strike now, before Salisbury of England can invest the city? |
| 13500 | Is His arm shortened at all, that He should not fulfil that which He has promised? |
| 13500 | Is His arm shortened at all? |
| 13500 | Is it against the towers I must go, to assail them? |
| 13500 | Is it boy, or angel, or what? |
| 13500 | Is it not always so when the Lord uses one of His children? |
| 13500 | Is it not right that I should listen to them as well as to you? |
| 13500 | Is it not time that you should rest and take your ease after your many and arduous toils? |
| 13500 | Is it not wiser to act with deliberation and prudence?" |
| 13500 | Is it some disaster? |
| 13500 | Is it the same, Bertrand, of whom you did speak upon the day we parted company?" |
| 13500 | Is she still abiding content at home, awaiting the time appointed by her visions?" |
| 13500 | Is she witch, or mad, or possessed by some spirit of vainglory and ambition? |
| 13500 | Is that agreed? |
| 13500 | Is that not enough?" |
| 13500 | It is well that we may not read the future, else how could we bear the burden of life? |
| 13500 | Know you not how near you stand to death this night? |
| 13500 | Little Charlotte here pulled the Maid by the hand, crying out:"What are you saying? |
| 13500 | Many men, by their gorgeous raiment, might well be the greatest one present; but how to tell? |
| 13500 | Many must be slain ere we can call it ours, but will you follow and take it?" |
| 13500 | Might she not laugh to scorn all such threats? |
| 13500 | Must not it be of heaven, this thing? |
| 13500 | My heart sank strangely within me, for had I not learned to know how truly the Maid did read that which the future hid from our eyes? |
| 13500 | Need I say more? |
| 13500 | Need such a question be asked of the Maid? |
| 13500 | O my father, can you doubt that I was sent of them for this work? |
| 13500 | O, was it not wonderful? |
| 13500 | Oh, how can I write of it? |
| 13500 | One Dominican monk sought to perplex her by asking why, since God had willed that France should be delivered through her, she had need of armed men? |
| 13500 | Or is it that Fastolffe comes against us with yet another host?" |
| 13500 | Other places had fallen before the victorious Maid, and why not this? |
| 13500 | Pray what hath befallen, good sir? |
| 13500 | Shall I ever forget that evening? |
| 13500 | Shall I ever forget the thunder of applause which fell upon our ears as we passed into the city through the bridge? |
| 13500 | Shall I take upon me that which my Lord puts not upon me-- whether it be honour or toil or pain?" |
| 13500 | Shall we mock Him by calling ourselves His followers, and yet doing that without a thought which He hath forbidden?" |
| 13500 | Shall we not seek to obey Him? |
| 13500 | Shall we, His children, hang back and thwart Him, just in the hour when He has put the victory in our hands? |
| 13500 | She, whom I have seen riding beside the King? |
| 13500 | Sir Guy de Laval looked full in our faces as he spoke these words, and what could one reply? |
| 13500 | Sir Guy made no reply, but fell into thought, and then asked a sudden question:"Who is this peasant maid of whom you speak? |
| 13500 | Surely she did not think to leave us just in the hour of her supreme triumph? |
| 13500 | Tell me who and what is she? |
| 13500 | That name as applied to the Angelic Maid set our teeth on edge; yet was it wonderful that some should so regard her? |
| 13500 | Then wherefore not do His will and march to the appointed spot? |
| 13500 | They had infinite confidence in the Maid as a leader against stone walls, for had they not seen her take tower after tower, city after city? |
| 13500 | To whom do you speak? |
| 13500 | Was Orleans to fall next into the greedy maw of the English adventurers? |
| 13500 | Was Paris in the King''s hands in less than seven years? |
| 13500 | Was any project of relief on foot amongst the Dauphin''s soldiers? |
| 13500 | Was ever courage like hers? |
| 13500 | Was it for us to approach and ask of her what had been thus revealed? |
| 13500 | Was it indeed a city of stone and wood which shone before us in the level rays of the sinking sun? |
| 13500 | Was it not already threatened? |
| 13500 | Was it not likely he would fear she might speak truth? |
| 13500 | Was it possible that her Lord was about to take her from us, her task yet unfulfilled? |
| 13500 | Was it treachery? |
| 13500 | Was it wonder that the people believed in her? |
| 13500 | Was it wonderful that every house should seek to hang out a white banner in honour of the Angelic Maid, and her pure whiteness of soul and body? |
| 13500 | Was it wonderful they should hunger for her presence amongst them? |
| 13500 | Was she dreaming? |
| 13500 | Was she sad or pensive then? |
| 13500 | Was there an instant''s hesitation? |
| 13500 | We are to attack the foe upon the south? |
| 13500 | Were the English driven from France in less than twenty? |
| 13500 | What are His own words? |
| 13500 | What can a peasant maid know of the art of war? |
| 13500 | What could he be speaking of? |
| 13500 | What did it mean? |
| 13500 | What did she mean by these words?--this Heaven- sent Maid to whom we owed so much? |
| 13500 | What did those last words signify-- when hitherto all she had spoken was of deliverance, of victory? |
| 13500 | What future is there for hapless France? |
| 13500 | What has she said to you, and what think you of her?" |
| 13500 | What have I to do with the friends of royalty? |
| 13500 | What looked she like?--and what said she?" |
| 13500 | What madness would she next propose? |
| 13500 | What manner of man is the Dauphin of France that he should look for divine deliverance? |
| 13500 | What matter who shall fall ere the task be accomplished-- so that it be done according to the mind of the Lord?" |
| 13500 | What matter whose the work, or whose the triumph? |
| 13500 | What need have they of other leader? |
| 13500 | What said she to that counsel?" |
| 13500 | What said they when you bid them farewell for such an errand?" |
| 13500 | What think you of it yourself, good Bertrand? |
| 13500 | What was the condition of the garrison? |
| 13500 | What was the disposition of the beleaguering force? |
| 13500 | What were the armies of England doing? |
| 13500 | What would even St. Louis of blessed memory feel, could he witness the changes wrought by only a century and a half? |
| 13500 | What would the great Charlemagne say, could he see us now? |
| 13500 | When I spoke to one grizzled old soldier about it, he shrugged his shoulders and made reply:"What would you? |
| 13500 | When she left the room I followed her at her sign, and asked:"Then you go not forth to battle today, General?" |
| 13500 | When will they believe?" |
| 13500 | When will they understand? |
| 13500 | Where was the weakness, the feebleness, the faintness of the wounded girl? |
| 13500 | Wherefore should I not be their friend and sister still?" |
| 13500 | Wherefore such haste? |
| 13500 | Who believes in miracles now?" |
| 13500 | Who but that wicked Queen Isabeau is at the bottom of the disgraceful Treaty of Troyes, wherein France sold herself into the hands of the English? |
| 13500 | Who can it be?" |
| 13500 | Why must he adventure himself again into danger? |
| 13500 | Will not that be enough?" |
| 13500 | Will not the soldiers fight for and with you? |
| 13500 | Will you cease to hear and to obey?" |
| 13500 | Will you undertake a mission from me to this maiden? |
| 13500 | Would they speak thus of the Blessed Virgin? |
| 13500 | Would you neglect to hear her cry to you in the hour of her need? |
| 13500 | Yet was there something ironical in the very humility of some? |
| 13500 | Yet what has been the truth? |
| 13500 | Yet who dare say that she did not see and did not rejoice even then? |
| 13500 | You have done all these great things for me; what am I to do in return for you?" |
| 13500 | You may ask, are they of the Devil? |
| 13500 | You they will follow to a man; but will they follow others when they know that you have deserted them? |
| 13500 | asked De Baudricourt,''and have you naught but voices to instruct you in such great matters?'' |
| 13500 | cried Bertrand hotly;"you say the city is not so closely blockaded but that with care and caution men may get in or out? |
| 13500 | cried Sir Guy, as he gazed at Bertrand with a look betwixt laughter and amaze,"and what said your worshipful uncle to that same message?" |
| 13500 | he answered;"is not this jewelled weapon good enough? |
| 13500 | he cried in dismay;"then shall we fly before them?" |
| 13500 | she cried( how did she know? |
| 13500 | she whispered,"but why did he not heed the warning?" |
| 13500 | that they would have been ready to tear in pieces any who durst contemn her mission, or declare her possessed of evil spirits? |
| 13500 | they ask, and how can she command troops and lead them on to victory, where veterans have failed again and again? |
| 749 | ''And who is worthy to obtain this?'' 749 And what is the plan?" |
| 749 | And who,quoth he,"shall fill thy place, O my father? |
| 749 | And who,said he,"is blameable for all my misfortunes but myself, who have dealt with thee so kindly, and cared for thee as no father before? |
| 749 | And,said he,"what will be his end?" |
| 749 | But idolaters-- to whom shall I compare them, and to what likeness shall I liken their silliness? 749 But tell me, dearly beloved, how thou camest hither? |
| 749 | But,said he,"is this the appointed doom of all mankind? |
| 749 | But,said he,"why labour ye in vain? |
| 749 | Do we not, then, well to laugh you to scorn, or rather to weep over you, as men blind and without understanding? 749 Furthermore, how do the wise and eloquent among the Greeks fail to perceive that law- givers themselves are judged by their own laws? |
| 749 | Him therefore, who endured such sufferings for our sakes, and again bestowed such blessings upon us, him dost thou reject and scoff at his Cross? 749 How shall I describe to thee the evils of this life? |
| 749 | Lady, and what is thy request? |
| 749 | Said the king,''And what is the way that beareth thither?'' 749 The king, endowed with understanding worthy of the purple, said unto him,''What hath hindered thee until now from doing me to wit of these things? |
| 749 | Through thine,said they,"we learned to know God, and were redeemed from error, and found rest from every ill. What remaineth us after thou art gone? |
| 749 | What man,said they,"can discern the future, and accurately ascertain it? |
| 749 | What sayest thou? |
| 749 | What,answered the boy,"but the Devils that deceive men? |
| 749 | What,said the monk,"seest thou in our case that should by its attractions cause us to cling to life, and be afraid of death at thy hands? |
| 749 | Would God,said Ioasaph,"that he too were instructed in these mysteries?" |
| 749 | ''For how could anything have endured, if it had not been his will? |
| 749 | ''For''saith he,''why, on behalf of the living, should they seek unto the dead?'' |
| 749 | Again said Ioasaph,"Why, O king, hast thou been kindled to wrath? |
| 749 | Again said the king,"And of what neglect hast thou been guilty? |
| 749 | Again the youth asked,"If then this is wo nt to happen not to all, but only to some, can they be known on whom this terrible calamity shall fall? |
| 749 | And Ioasaph told him his vision, and said,"Wherefore hast thou laid a net for my feet, and bowed down my soul? |
| 749 | And after his holy resurrection Christ made good this three- fold denial with the three- fold question,''Peter, lovest thou me? |
| 749 | And did they not present thee to the king in answer to his prayer, thus redeeming him from the bondage of childlessness?" |
| 749 | And hath thy father learned to know God, or is he still carried away with his former foolishness, still under the bondage of devilish deceits?" |
| 749 | And he said unto them,''Know ye to whom these are like? |
| 749 | And how can I describe to thee the glory that shall receive them at that day? |
| 749 | And how can a body be careless in the expectation of an unknown death, whose approach( ye say) is as uncertain as it is inexorable?" |
| 749 | And how cometh it that thou hast heard the words of God incarnate? |
| 749 | And how have ye come to learn that which ye have not seen, that ye have so steadfastly and undoubtingly believed it? |
| 749 | And how is that god that can not move called God? |
| 749 | And how was earth, that did not exist, produced? |
| 749 | And if the elements are not gods, how are the images, created to their honour, gods? |
| 749 | And is this alone sufficient for salvation, to believe and be baptized, or must one add other services thereto?" |
| 749 | And never having understood them, how shall he despise them?'' |
| 749 | And shall we men, appointed to die, return to nothing, or is there some other life after our departure hence? |
| 749 | And the prophet saith,''When shall I come and appear before the presence of God?'' |
| 749 | And what canst thou tell of them but unreason and shamefulness, and vain craft that with glosing words concealeth the mire of their unsavoury worship? |
| 749 | And what foundation hath it? |
| 749 | And what is my recompense for thee? |
| 749 | And what is the dread that encompasseth thee?" |
| 749 | And what is the uncertain day of death? |
| 749 | And what of fire? |
| 749 | And what this kingdom which thou callest the kingdom of Heaven? |
| 749 | And what will they do in the day of visitation, and to whom will they flee for help? |
| 749 | And when he asketh thee,''What meaneth this apparel?'' |
| 749 | And where will they leave their glory, that they fall not into arrest? |
| 749 | And which commandments above all shouldest thou observe? |
| 749 | And which of the goodly things of this world can give such gladness as that which the great God giveth to those that love him? |
| 749 | And who is he that shall make mention of me after death, when time delivereth all things to forgetfulness? |
| 749 | And whom like unto thee shall I find to be shepherd and guide of my soul''s salvation? |
| 749 | And why is it that the common herd are pinched with poverty, while thou addest ever to thy store by seizing for thyself the goods of others? |
| 749 | And why will ye die, O house of Israel?'' |
| 749 | And wouldst thou have an example of that which I say? |
| 749 | And, if ye fear not death, how came ye to be fleeing? |
| 749 | And, thyself wholly riveted to carnal delights and deadly passions, dost thou proclaim the idols of shame and dishonour gods? |
| 749 | And, when Ioasaph enquired,"Whose are these exceeding bright crowns of glory, which I see?" |
| 749 | Art thou grieved that I have gained such bliss? |
| 749 | Barlaam and Ioasaph by St. John Damascene(?) |
| 749 | But how tell of all that the son spake with his father, and of all the wisdom of his speech? |
| 749 | But if the elements are corruptible and subject to necessity, how are they gods? |
| 749 | But shew me where thou dwellest?" |
| 749 | But tell me truly what is thy manner of life and that of thy companions in the desert, and from whence cometh your raiment and of what sort may it be? |
| 749 | But the spirit of vain glory and pleasing of men-- what place had it among them? |
| 749 | But what hast thou thyself to say of thy wise men and orators, whose wisdom God hath made foolish, the advocates of the devil? |
| 749 | But what is the proof thereof? |
| 749 | But what is the proof whereby thou seekest to know the steadfastness of my purpose?" |
| 749 | But what is this profit which thou saidest that I should receive of thee?" |
| 749 | But what must I do after baptism? |
| 749 | But what proof seekest thou, O fool, that thy prophets are liars and ours true, better than the truths I have told thee? |
| 749 | But who buyeth God? |
| 749 | But, if it be impossible to express in language that glory, that light, and those mysterious blessings, what marvel? |
| 749 | But, when it is of the future that ye preach tidings of such vast import, how have ye made your conviction on these matters sure?" |
| 749 | Child, wherefore hast thou done this? |
| 749 | Contrariwise, how deadly and cursed a thing it is to provoke a father and despise his commands? |
| 749 | Didst thou, O king, ever see madness greater than this? |
| 749 | Do not your Scriptures teach that all the righteous men of old, patriarchs and prophets, were wedded? |
| 749 | Dost thou mark the delusion and lasciviousness that they allege against their gods? |
| 749 | Dost thou not know how lovely a thing it is to obey one''s father, and please him in all ways? |
| 749 | Dost thou not owe thy life to the gods? |
| 749 | Doth it not take iron, which is black and cold in itself, and work it into white heat and harden it? |
| 749 | Doth it receive any of the properties of the iron? |
| 749 | Else, where were the justice of God, if there were no Resurrection? |
| 749 | For he can shew his great strength at all times, and who may withstand the power of his arm? |
| 749 | For how could death have remained unknown to any human creature? |
| 749 | For how knowest thou whether thou shalt save thy sire, and in wondrous fashion be styled the spiritual father of thy father? |
| 749 | For if their gods did so, how should they not themselves do the like? |
| 749 | For what is there profitable, abiding or stable therein? |
| 749 | For what terror of this life can be so terrible as the Gehenna of eternal fire, that burneth and yet hath no light, that punisheth and never ceaseth? |
| 749 | For when a certain rich young man asked the Lord,''What shall I do to inherit eternal life?'' |
| 749 | For when these skill not to work their own salvation, how can they take care of mankind? |
| 749 | For, as your gods have done, why should not also the men that follow them do? |
| 749 | Hath he therefore any stain of reproach? |
| 749 | He said,''Who then are these men that live a life better than ours?'' |
| 749 | Hereupon the king, wishing to entrap the monks, as I ween, shrewdly said,"How now? |
| 749 | Him were it not better to worship than thy gods of many evil passions, of shameful names and shameful lives? |
| 749 | How can such an one, that is an huntress and a ranger with hounds, be a goddess? |
| 749 | How can this be? |
| 749 | How did thy matters speed after my departure? |
| 749 | How much wiser is the unreasonable beast than thou the reasonable man? |
| 749 | How must I show my hatred for things present and lay hold on things eternal? |
| 749 | How shalt thou converse with God? |
| 749 | How speakest thou of forty and five? |
| 749 | How then can an adulterer, one that defileth himself by unnatural lust, a slayer of his father be a god? |
| 749 | How then can the covetous, the warrior, the bondman and adulterer be a god? |
| 749 | How then could I contain such a pearl?"'' |
| 749 | How then could a drunkard and slayer of his own children, burnt to death by fire, be a god? |
| 749 | How then deem they their creators those which have been formed and fashioned by themselves? |
| 749 | How then did earth become man? |
| 749 | How then shall he take thought for mankind, he the adulterer, the hunter who died a violent death? |
| 749 | How then should one prefer the preaching of these few obscure countrymen to the ordinance of the many that are mighty and brilliantly wise? |
| 749 | If then Dionysus was slain and unable to help himself, nay, further was a madman, a drunkard, and vagabond, how could he be a god? |
| 749 | If thou hast learned to love thy neighbour as thyself, with what right art thou eager to shift the burden off thy back and lay it upon mine? |
| 749 | If thou wast seeking Barlaam, thou shouldest certainly have said,''Where is he that hath turned from error and saved the king''s son?'' |
| 749 | If, therefore, there is joy in heaven over the conversion of a sinner, shall not great recompense be due to the causer of that conversion? |
| 749 | In abhorrence of the sight, he cried to his esquires,"Who are these, and what is this distressing spectacle?" |
| 749 | In how many talents wilt thou undertake to assist me now? |
| 749 | Ioasaph asked,"What is free will and what is choice?" |
| 749 | Ioasaph said unto him,"And what is this good hope whereto thou sayest it is impossible without baptism to attain? |
| 749 | Ioasaph said unto him,"Hath my father then, learned naught of these things?" |
| 749 | Ioasaph said unto the elder,"Are there now others, too, who preach the same doctrines as thou? |
| 749 | Ioasaph said,"But whence cometh this garment that thou wearest?" |
| 749 | Is it not written that the mighty Peter, whom ye call Prince of the Apostles, was a married man? |
| 749 | Is it possible then that one who was prisoner and mutilated should be a god? |
| 749 | Is not Paul said to have circumcised Timothy on account of a greater dispensation? |
| 749 | Is not a little seed thrown into the womb that receiveth it? |
| 749 | Now if Asklepius, though a god, when struck by a thunder- bolt, could not help himself, how can he help others? |
| 749 | Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? |
| 749 | Now what sayest thou thereto, and what is thine advice? |
| 749 | O death where is thy sting? |
| 749 | O grave, where is thy victory?'' |
| 749 | Or art thou to- day the only one that teacheth this hatred of the present world?" |
| 749 | Or doth it happen only to some?" |
| 749 | Or how can he help others who could not help himself? |
| 749 | Or is there life beyond, and another world?" |
| 749 | Or rather, the idol hath no right to be called even dead, for how can that have died which never lived? |
| 749 | Said Ioasaph,"If, then, this kind of philosophy be so ancient and so salutary, how cometh it that so few folk now- a- days follow it?" |
| 749 | Said Theudas,"And be ye so weak and puny that ye can not get the better of one young stripling?" |
| 749 | Said ye not but this instant, that ye were withdrawing even as I commanded you? |
| 749 | Seest thou not that the god that standeth can not sit, and the god that sitteth can not stand? |
| 749 | Seest thou not yonder sun, into how many a barren and filthy place he darteth his rays? |
| 749 | She, seeking to make the way straight and smooth for him, cried,"Why dost thou, who are so wise, talk thus? |
| 749 | So now, tell me without fear, how wast thou so greatly taken with this error, to prefer the bird in the bush to the bird already in the hand?" |
| 749 | Tell me whether is better? |
| 749 | Than which state what can be more blessed and higher? |
| 749 | The boy said,"What is the reason of mine imprisonment here? |
| 749 | The chief counsellor seized the happy moment and said,''But to thee, O king, how seemeth their life?'' |
| 749 | The governor said,"Thou knowest him then?" |
| 749 | The king said,"And who are these enemies whom thou biddest me turn out of court?" |
| 749 | The king spake unto him,"Why hast thou forced thyself to appear? |
| 749 | The monk answered,"And wherefore then spakest thou in this ambiguous manner, asking about him that had deceived the king''s son? |
| 749 | The young man heard her hymn of praise and said,''Damsel, what is thine employment? |
| 749 | The young prince asked,"Are these the fortune of all men?" |
| 749 | Then calling to his son, he said,"Child, what is this report that soundeth in mine ears, and weareth away my soul with despondency? |
| 749 | Then said he unto them,"Why bear ye about these dead men''s bones? |
| 749 | Then said the king in the hearing of all present,"Art thou the devil''s workman, Barlaam?" |
| 749 | Thou fool and blind, why doth not the force of truth bring thee to thy senses? |
| 749 | To this said Ioasaph,"But how, after baptism, shall a man keep himself clear from all sin? |
| 749 | To what extent then canst thou share my labour? |
| 749 | Trow ye that this present life, and luxury, and these shreds of glory, and petty lordship and false prosperity are any great thing?'' |
| 749 | Upon how many a stinking corpse doth he cast his eye? |
| 749 | What God hath ordered, who, of men, can scatter? |
| 749 | What consolation may I find in my loss of thee? |
| 749 | What evils shall not befall us?" |
| 749 | What excuse shall I make, for neglecting his orders, and giving this fellow access unto thee?" |
| 749 | What folly? |
| 749 | What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? |
| 749 | What harm then befell him thereby that thou thinkest to make mock of him? |
| 749 | What harm therefore came to God, the Word, that thou blasphemest without a blush? |
| 749 | What is the hope that I may count upon at thy hands, O my dearest friend?'' |
| 749 | What is the manner of thy proof that the Crucified is God, and these be none?" |
| 749 | What is the proof that your teachers be right and the others wrong?" |
| 749 | What man in his senses could admit it? |
| 749 | What reward therefore shall I give thee for all these benefits? |
| 749 | What thanks hath the servant if he suffer like as his Master? |
| 749 | What thanks shall I offer God for thee? |
| 749 | What then must I say about the elements? |
| 749 | What thinkest thou, my son? |
| 749 | What worthy memorial have they bequeathed to the world? |
| 749 | What, is it not written in one of your books,''Marriage is honourable, and the bed undefiled''? |
| 749 | What, then, sayest thou, dearest son, hereto? |
| 749 | When dead, shall I dissolve into nothingness? |
| 749 | When have they given even the smallest answer to their bedesmen? |
| 749 | When have they walked, or received any impression of sense? |
| 749 | When the iron is smitten and beaten with hammers is the fire any the worse, or doth it in any way suffer harm? |
| 749 | When was there ever heard utterance or language from their lips? |
| 749 | Whence then cometh such a marvellous fashioning of a living creature? |
| 749 | Wherefore saith he this, except he count the kind acts we do unto the needy as done unto himself? |
| 749 | Wherefore speakest thou of it as of defilement and shameful intercourse? |
| 749 | Wherefore, wretch, attempt the impossible? |
| 749 | Which shall I first lament, or which first deplore? |
| 749 | Who could endure to defile his lips by the repeating of their filthy communications? |
| 749 | Who could recount in order their abominable doings? |
| 749 | Who offereth God for sale? |
| 749 | Who, then, hath persuaded thee to call this defilement? |
| 749 | Why art thou wholly given up to the passions and desires of the flesh, and why is there no looking upward? |
| 749 | Why love ye vanity and seek after leasing? |
| 749 | Why love ye vanity, and seek after leasing?'' |
| 749 | Why sittest thou at the feet of things that can not move and help thee? |
| 749 | Why therefore flatterest thou things that can not feel? |
| 749 | Why, what father was ever seen to be sorrowful in the prosperity of his son? |
| 749 | Wilt thou not break away from serving thy many gods, falsely so called, and serve the one, true and living God? |
| 749 | Wilt thou not haste past the things which haste pass thee, and attach thyself to that which endureth? |
| 749 | Wilt thou not understand this, my father? |
| 749 | Wily hast thou barred me within walls and doors, never going forth and seen of none?" |
| 749 | With such truths set before us, what must we do to escape the punishments in store for sinners, and to gain the joy of the righteous?" |
| 749 | With what words of blessings may I bless thee? |
| 749 | Would not such an one be called an enemy rather than a father? |
| 749 | Zardan answered,"Why hath it pleased thee, O prince, to prove me that am thy servant? |
| 749 | and again,''What God hath joined together, let not man put asunder''? |
| 749 | and wherefore, poor and needy as thou art, givest thou thanks as though for great blessings, singing praise to the Giver?'' |
| 749 | and,''It is better to marry than to burn''? |
| 749 | or been preserved, if not called by him?'' |
| 749 | or is it undefined and unforeseeable?" |
| 749 | the true spiritual and eternal death? |
| 749 | who could describe the beauty and brightness of that city? |
| 749 | who shall deliver me from the body of this death?'' |
| 49450 | What prayers are mine? 49450 [ 10] But tell me, pray, what is the use of this irritation and anger that makes you so on edge? |
| 49450 | [ 13] Do you not in the poet''s words discern that monster with four heads so deadly to the nature of man? 49450 [ 15] What meant that pale face and wasted figure? |
| 49450 | [ 22]_ Petrarch._ What is to be done, then? 49450 [ 26] In talking thus do you not perceive that you prayed for one thing but wished another in your heart? |
| 49450 | [ 31]_ Petrarch._ Whither can I flee? 49450 [ 50] But pray, tell me, do you suppose that at your age it will be more becoming to doat upon an old woman than to love a young one? |
| 49450 | [ 65] Do you not recognise the verse? 49450 Abandon my unfinished works? 49450 Am I to despair? 49450 And as for reading, what has it profited you? 49450 And do you suppose what has befallen so many others may not befall you? 49450 And have you got no help from it? 49450 And how can a man soothe and flatter others unless he first soothe and flatter himself? 49450 And how shall I express my thankfulness to Her also, the Spirit of Truth, who, unwearied by our much talking, has waited upon us to the end? 49450 And in the common intercourse of human life what can be more injurious than that? 49450 And in what period of your age did this take place? 49450 And of what relevance is it to know a multitude of things? 49450 And since these things are so, what is it, I ask, which holds me back? 49450 And that I may travel more surely to your conclusion, may we send a little more time over the premisses? 49450 And what can be more foolish than thus to waste such enormous labour over a thing of uncertain issue? 49450 And when you were raised up to the higher life, why did you not attach yourself to it more firmly? 49450 And who may that be, pray? 49450 And who, pray, is the author of your woes? 49450 And with the expectation of freedom would he not eagerly listen for the footsteps of his deliverer? 49450 And yet the question still remains, what is it that holds me back? 49450 And you would break them from me, if I would let you? 49450 And, moreover, what boots it that others shall approve what you have said if in the court of your own conscience it stands condemned? 49450 Any man in the world would desire to reach old age on such terms as that; but what limit or check would be to such a state of mind? 49450 Are there not malignant motions of the air beneath some evil star and pestilential sky? 49450 Are there not many things in which you can not rival the skill of the humblest of mankind? 49450 Are there not the falls of those great buildings which, as some one neatly says, are first the safeguards, then the sepulchres of men? 49450 Are you aware of what still makes you turn from the right way? 49450 Are you perhaps inclined to plume yourself on your physical advantages? 49450 Augustine answered her:You are my guide, my Counsellor, my Sovereign, my Ruler; what is it, then, you would have me say in your presence?" |
| 49450 | Augustine._ And what do you find? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ And what if that which you think is a middle position is in truth below you? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ And why? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ Are you mocking me? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ But now please tell me what is it that most displeases you? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ But you surely do not suppose that to be a slight point even in bodily health? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ Can your peace of mind be disturbed by the opinion of the crowd, whose judgment is never true, who never call anything by its right name? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ Come, come, does nothing please you? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ Do you mind giving me some example to confirm the view you have put forward? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ Do you mind telling me if you have looked in your glass lately? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ Do you not see what conflict there is between Love and Shamefastness? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ Do you think I am ignorant of all"Those pleasant dreams that lovers use to weave"? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ I see, then, that those things which make many other people envy you are nevertheless in your own eyes of no account at all? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ If I guess right will you acknowledge it? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ Of what profit has it been to you to read and remember? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ Then tell me why to hope? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ Well, has the sin of lust never touched you with its flames? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ Well, then? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ What do you find? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ What have you to say, O man of little strength? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ What is it you wish me to acknowledge? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ What was it? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ What, then, were your thoughts, and what did you say to yourself? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ Why do you ask? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ Why-- why do you speak of sighing? |
| 49450 | Augustine._ You imply both, for what greater riches can there be than to lack nothing? |
| 49450 | Base desires, then, sometimes you felt, though not long since you denied it? |
| 49450 | Beside all these, are there not the rage of savage boasts, and of men, and the furious madness of war? |
| 49450 | But as this subject is so very threadbare that no one can add anything new on it, will you allow me to offer you an old remedy for an old complaint? |
| 49450 | But can it be enough to desire only? |
| 49450 | But if so, who so capable to give one as yourself? |
| 49450 | But if, again, it is not cured, what good will change of scene bring me? |
| 49450 | But if, fascinated by one who is the image of virtue, I devote myself to love and honour her, what have you to say to that? |
| 49450 | But now tell me what is it that makes you suffer, apart from what we have been speaking of? |
| 49450 | But of what profit tis all this dividing? |
| 49450 | But tell me what is it that is to you the most displeasing of all? |
| 49450 | But tell me, I pray you, what in your opinion is this thing called glory, that you so ardently covet? |
| 49450 | But that woman so renowned, whom you imagine as your most safe guide, wherefore did not she direct you upward, hesitating and trembling as you were? |
| 49450 | But to come back to your body, of what do you complain? |
| 49450 | But to get a little order into our discourse, does what you see in yourself truly displease you as much as you say? |
| 49450 | But what great gain is there in that? |
| 49450 | But you who set such price on her you love, do you not see how deeply by absolving her you condemn yourself? |
| 49450 | Can you be ignorant that of all the creatures Man is the one that has most wants? |
| 49450 | Can you bring your mind to think of flight or exile and going right away from the places that you know? |
| 49450 | Do we not see them striving to merit afterwards what they feel they should have earned before? |
| 49450 | Do you call these the signs of one in good health? |
| 49450 | Do you counsel me to court Poverty? |
| 49450 | Do you feel able, then, now to cast off your sorrow and be more reconciled to your fortune? |
| 49450 | Do you know what stands in the way of your purpose of heart? |
| 49450 | Do you mean to assert that if the same soul had been lodged in a body ill- formed and poor to look upon, you would have taken equal delight therein? |
| 49450 | Do you mean to say I am once more lying? |
| 49450 | Do you mean to tell me my soul is still bound by two chains of which I am unconscious? |
| 49450 | Do you mind being more explicit? |
| 49450 | Do you put no difference between things so entirely opposed? |
| 49450 | Do you remember where it occurs? |
| 49450 | Do you remember with what delight you used to wander in the depth of the country? |
| 49450 | Do you thoroughly know the matter you are to touch upon? |
| 49450 | Do you wish to banish all remains of honour from the case? |
| 49450 | Do you wish, like those with fever on the brain, to die laughing and joking? |
| 49450 | Doubtless it has lain fixed in your mind, has it not? |
| 49450 | Even supposing the time were certain, is it not reversing the true order to put off the best to the last? |
| 49450 | For how should the soul thus crushed beneath these weights ever arise to that one and only most pure fountain of true Good? |
| 49450 | For what are those sad lamentations of the old but because of the early deaths of their young children? |
| 49450 | For what are you looking? |
| 49450 | For what miserable destruction is Fate keeping me alive? |
| 49450 | For what more obvious truth than this can possibly be imagined? |
| 49450 | For what use in the world are intellect, knowledge, eloquence, if they can bring no healing to a soul diseased? |
| 49450 | Gracious Heaven, what is yet to come that is more dangerous still? |
| 49450 | Hath the great city that so long was queen Fallen at last? |
| 49450 | Have you then for sixteen long years been feeding: with false joys this flame of your heart? |
| 49450 | How could there be any first unless there was also a second following after? |
| 49450 | How do you think you will persuade me of that? |
| 49450 | How is it, then, you have not engraved equally deeply in your heart the words of the satirist--"Why keep such hoarded gold to vex the mind? |
| 49450 | How many have struck root and borne fruit in due season? |
| 49450 | How much more will you stagger when I deliver my sharpest thrust of all? |
| 49450 | How so? |
| 49450 | I am afraid you are right, but what are the lines to which you allude? |
| 49450 | I aspire now to joys of nobler nature"? |
| 49450 | I do not ask for the precise date, but tell me about when was it that you saw the form and feature of this woman for the first time? |
| 49450 | I read in your face and speech what a happy and peaceful life you lived; for what miseries have you not endured since then? |
| 49450 | I will do so very willingly, but may I ask you to finish what you were beginning to say about ambition, which I have long desired to hear? |
| 49450 | If I could say words like these at that time of life, what shall I say now that I am more advanced in age and more experienced in what life is? |
| 49450 | If I prove you have complained unjustly, will you consent to retract? |
| 49450 | If it is cured, what more do I need? |
| 49450 | In a word, what am I to think except what I see before my eyes? |
| 49450 | In what way do you mean? |
| 49450 | Is it any weakness of health or any secret trouble? |
| 49450 | Is it not? |
| 49450 | Is it some physical trouble, or some disgrace of fortune in men''s eyes? |
| 49450 | Is it the general course of human affairs? |
| 49450 | Is it your good health and strength? |
| 49450 | Is it your wish that I should put all my studies on one side and renounce every ambition, or would you advise some middle course? |
| 49450 | Is it, then, an old story, pray, by figures of geometry, to show how small is all the earth, and to prove it but an island of little length and width? |
| 49450 | Is not that the conclusion of your threefold precept? |
| 49450 | It is needful, then, that one take thought for this man''s life forthwith, and who so fit to undertake the pious work as yourself? |
| 49450 | Kindly tell me who ever made use of those words? |
| 49450 | Knowing what you do, are you not ashamed to see that your grey hairs have brought no change in you? |
| 49450 | Let us see what fresh quarrel you seek with me? |
| 49450 | Nay, what if you have in truth left the middle far behind, and are become to a great many people a man more to be envied than despised? |
| 49450 | Now, do you know what this reputation is? |
| 49450 | O father, what is this I hear? |
| 49450 | Of the multitude of things you have perused how many have remained in your mind? |
| 49450 | Of what are you dreaming? |
| 49450 | Of what profit is it? |
| 49450 | Of what use is it to make sweet songs for the ears of others, if you listen not to them yourself? |
| 49450 | On the other side, these mountains and this King sitting on high-- what can they mean but the head placed on high where reason is enthroned? |
| 49450 | Or have you quite forgotten whence we set out? |
| 49450 | Or will you rather take some remedy for your mind so pitiable and so far from its true health? |
| 49450 | Or would it be better to hasten them on, and, if God gives me grace, put the finishing touch to them? |
| 49450 | Perhaps you will ask me for whom did he live? |
| 49450 | Petrarch._ While the doctor is finishing his advice, will he allow the patient, in the throes of his malady, to interrupt him for a minute? |
| 49450 | Remember you not you are mortal? |
| 49450 | Shall I pride myself on much reading of books, which with a little wisdom has brought me a thousand anxieties? |
| 49450 | Since we are agreed on this, that no one can become or be unhappy except through his own fault, what need of more words is there? |
| 49450 | Tell me briefly what are the remedies I must use? |
| 49450 | Tell me then, since we have first mentioned love, do you or do you not hold it to be the height of all madness? |
| 49450 | Tell me, then, can you recall the years when you were a little child, or have the crowding cares of your present life blotted all that time out? |
| 49450 | Tell me, then, what is it that has hurt you most? |
| 49450 | Tell me; when you have noticed these signs of change in your body, has it not brought some change also in your soul? |
| 49450 | The pains of the body, the onsets of fever, attest the fact; and whom has the favour of Heaven made exempt? |
| 49450 | This stepdame, who in a single day with her ruthless hand laid low all my hopes, all my resources, my family and home? |
| 49450 | To scrape through life on water and dry bread That you may have a fortune when you''re dead? |
| 49450 | To this his friendship, his very real patriotism, and( must we not add?) |
| 49450 | Unless haply to you it seems otherwise? |
| 49450 | Was I quite destitute of any accomplishment? |
| 49450 | Was it necessary in a life so short to weave such long hopes? |
| 49450 | Was it not at her coming the sun shone forth, and when she left you, night returned? |
| 49450 | Was it not this lady with whom for you every day, whether feast or fast, began and ended? |
| 49450 | Well then, has poverty yet made you endure hunger and thirst and cold? |
| 49450 | Well, have we rested long enough? |
| 49450 | What God or what magician has promised me any surer warrant of security? |
| 49450 | What are you in doubt about now? |
| 49450 | What can man, the frailest of all creatures, hope for? |
| 49450 | What do you call sinking down into my heart? |
| 49450 | What does it prove? |
| 49450 | What floods of tears have I shed, and all to no purpose? |
| 49450 | What greater power than to be independent of every one else in the world? |
| 49450 | What hope have I then left? |
| 49450 | What if as a matter of fact you have for a long while enjoyed a really middle place, enjoyed it abundantly? |
| 49450 | What is it you are most pleased with in this way? |
| 49450 | What more illustrious example could I need? |
| 49450 | What need for me to speak of eloquence? |
| 49450 | What need to say more? |
| 49450 | What possible obscurity is there in it? |
| 49450 | What remedy were you likely to find in a place all lonely and remote? |
| 49450 | What should I say but that such a calamity would be the climax of all my miseries? |
| 49450 | What suffering is this? |
| 49450 | What then? |
| 49450 | What were all the wishes of my youth but solely to please her who above all others had pleased me? |
| 49450 | When I bid you think on your own whitening forehead, do you quote me a crowd of famous men whose locks were white also? |
| 49450 | When once the question was raised,"Why so pale and wan, fond lover?" |
| 49450 | When your eyes behold some ancient building, let your first thought be, Where are those who wrought it with their hands? |
| 49450 | Who spoke either of riches or of power? |
| 49450 | Who was not a child yesterday, or to- day, as far as that goes? |
| 49450 | Why and wherefore, I ask, this perpetual toil, these ceaseless vigils, and this intense application to study? |
| 49450 | Why ask me to do what you can quite well do for yourself? |
| 49450 | Why did she not take you by the hand as one does the blind, and set you in the way where you should walk? |
| 49450 | Why let pass unused the better part of a time so short? |
| 49450 | Why not? |
| 49450 | Why should such madness still delude mankind? |
| 49450 | Why should you not believe it? |
| 49450 | Why, do you not see that if a man bears his wound with him, change of scone is but an aggravation of his pain and not a means of healing it? |
| 49450 | Why, then, are you not afraid of a danger you have so often experienced? |
| 49450 | Why, then, continue to torment yourself? |
| 49450 | Why, then, seek to take one''s life or that of others? |
| 49450 | Will not you yourself readily confess how often the putting any confidence in this has proved vain? |
| 49450 | Will you boast, then, of intellect after that? |
| 49450 | Would you mind, therefore, postponing it to another occasion? |
| 49450 | Yet do you not feel that in many things your intellect fails you? |
| 49450 | You call these things chains? |
| 49450 | You will be asking me what is that kind of life, and by what ways you can approach it? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ And am I not right to hate her? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ And what do you mean by that? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ And, pray, what do you ask that question for? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ But to say the same thing? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ Do I remember indeed? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ Have you never heard how cruelly Fortune used me? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ Have you some now terror in store for me? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ How so? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ How so? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ How so? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ I am grateful for your compassionate feeling, but of what avail is any human succour? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ I wonder why? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ In what way are we so mad? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ Is that all? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ Of what use is desire, then? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ Pray do not wander from the subject; for what has this to do with the question we were discussing? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ So then you mean I care nothing at all about death? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ That I may not get lost in tracks unknown to me, may I ask when you propose to return to this point? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ Then you would say there is no distinction between falling and remaining fallen? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ What conditions do you mean, and how would you have me use words differently? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ What has that to do with the subject, I would like to know? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ What is this third point? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ What kind of notes? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ What makes you say that? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ What may these chains be of which you speak? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ What must I do, then? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ What then? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ What? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ Why to fear? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ Why, then, should I not hope? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ Yes, that is my view also; in the meanwhile, however, have you not forgotten my first question? |
| 49450 | _ Petrarch._ You know Virgil: you remember through what dangers he makes his hero pass in that last awful night of the sack of Troy? |
| 49450 | and when you see new ones, ask, Where, soon, the builders of them will be also? |
| 49450 | do you mean to say that I, I am not free from the reproach of cupidity? |
| 49450 | what is this I hear? |
| 49450 | where direct my ship? |
| 20450 | And how will you,said he,"after this approach the holy place? |
| 20450 | And what,said Cuthbert,"will be best for me to read, which may be finished in seven days?" |
| 20450 | And who is that insolent man,said the magistrate,"who durst insult such a gentleman''s wife?" |
| 20450 | Are you of the clergy? |
| 20450 | Do you imagine,said the other,"that eloquence is what they seek in your discourses? |
| 20450 | Do you know the imperial edicts? |
| 20450 | How do you hope,said he,"to see Constantinople delivered from the destroying angel of God, after such enormities authorized by laws? |
| 20450 | Moses, St. Paul, Christ, express tender charity for sinners; who then broached this doctrine? 20450 Of what family, and of what country are you?" |
| 20450 | Of what profession are you? |
| 20450 | The usurers answer me,says he,"then we will not lend; and what will the poor do? |
| 20450 | Upon what account? |
| 20450 | What employ can I have more honorable, or what better thing can I do in the world, than to live a Christian? |
| 20450 | What is your employ? |
| 20450 | What,said they,"while the secure gate of heaven is open, shall we shut it against ourselves? |
| 20450 | Who can express,he makes the soul exclaim with the same author,"the secret delights which God bestows on a heart thus purified and prepared? |
| 20450 | Who then were those that wept for you at your first examination? |
| 20450 | [ 21] Where shall we find such a faith in Israel? 20450 ''Are you then a Christian?'' 20450 17, n. 30, 31) from the Holy Ghost performing miracles by the handkerchiefs of St. Paul, how much more by the saints''bodies? 20450 24, p. 198,How many,"says he,"do you think there are in this city{ 268} who will be saved? |
| 20450 | 50, p. 517,)"What grace is not in our power to receive by touching and receiving his holy body? |
| 20450 | 63{?}. |
| 20450 | 82, p. 787, he writes:"How many now say, they wish to see his shape, his garments? |
| 20450 | ACACIUS.-"How can I sacrifice to a man whose sepulchre is unquestionably in Crete? |
| 20450 | ACACIUS.-"I am before the tribunal, and do you ask me my name, and, not satisfied with that, you must also know those of the other ministers? |
| 20450 | ACACIUS.-"Tell me who are those gods to whom you would have me sacrifice?" |
| 20450 | After this, what will he refuse to do for our salvation? |
| 20450 | Am I a saint, or a prophet like God''s true servants? |
| 20450 | Amidst such scandals, what hopes can we entertain of the salvation of many? |
| 20450 | And are not we excited to weep for our spiritual miseries? |
| 20450 | And could St. Austin, with the whole Catholic church, have ranked a Montanist among the most illustrious martyrs? |
| 20450 | And if you do well, what can afflict me? |
| 20450 | And if you stand fair for being such a gainer from men, what rewards may you not reasonably expect from God? |
| 20450 | And in good truth, who can peruse the life of Peter, and not be animated with a more lively faith? |
| 20450 | And to those about him:"Weep not, my children; must not the will of God be done?" |
| 20450 | And what example of a suffering Saviour so full, so perfect, and expressive, as that exhibited in the life of Jeremiah? |
| 20450 | And what is the nature and character of this work, which is thus placed within the reach of almost every family in Ireland? |
| 20450 | And what need of more words? |
| 20450 | Arcadius replied,"How can you propose to me such a thing? |
| 20450 | Are there no Herods now- a- days; persons who are enemies to the spiritual kingdom of Christ in their hearts? |
| 20450 | Are we then better informed in these matters than God himself?" |
| 20450 | Are we troubled when we hear ourselves praised? |
| 20450 | Are you yet willing to sacrifice?" |
| 20450 | Are{ 658} these our sentiments? |
| 20450 | As for me, why did you desire to see me? |
| 20450 | At this sight he cried out, trembling:"Who, O Lord, can escape them all?" |
| 20450 | At which Polemon said:"Is that another God?" |
| 20450 | At which she made him this reproach:"Cruel tyrant, do you not blush to torture this part of my body, you that sucked the breasts of a woman yourself?" |
| 20450 | Basil replied:"But I am now plunged in bitter sorrow and tears: and what protection can I seek? |
| 20450 | Being met by an old acquaintance, and asked what was become of it, he said"Could you believe it? |
| 20450 | Bene scripsisti de me, Thoma: quam mercedem addipies? |
| 20450 | Blinded by self- love, have we not sheltered our dastardly pusillanimity under the cloak of pretended necessity, or even virtue? |
| 20450 | But are they not at the same time subjects of our condemnation and confusion? |
| 20450 | But are we not confounded at our sloth in our spiritual warfare, when we look on the conflicts of the martyrs? |
| 20450 | But granting that I had, what can they allege for extending their insolence even to the dead? |
| 20450 | But how shall we justify our unfeeling hard- heartedness, that seeks every trifling pretence to exempt us from the duty of succoring the unfortunate? |
| 20450 | But if we are happy in despising the world, are not you miserable who live slaves to it?" |
| 20450 | But some may say, What edification can persons in the world reap from the lives of apostles, bishops, or recluses? |
| 20450 | But what name can we find for the pusillanimity of those who are not able so much as to look humiliations, poverty, or affliction in the face? |

| 37862 | Dost thou forget that we were invited away, because of my father''s unfortunate preference of Sejanus, during the days of Sejanus''greatness? |
| 37862 | Dost thou know my history, brother? |
| 37862 | Dost thou know this man? |
| 37862 | Dost thou love me, Lydia? |
| 37862 | Dost thou love this-- boy? 37862 Dost thou remember Him whom they crucified at Golgotha, a Passover, four years ago?" |
| 37862 | Dost thou see anything more in this than appears on the face of it? |
| 37862 | Dost thou urge me to give over mine efforts? 37862 Dost thou-- in truth, dost thou not know?" |
| 37862 | Enemy? |
| 37862 | Even then, is Tiberius thy better in comeliness? 37862 For love only? |
| 37862 | For revenge, Marsyas? |
| 37862 | For what? |
| 37862 | Forgot that unctuous bit of tittle- tattle when thou didst make Antonia bearer of thy boasts, eh? |
| 37862 | Hast ordered the garlands, Lysimachus? |
| 37862 | Hast rested on the testimony of rumor? |
| 37862 | Hast thou been into the city? |
| 37862 | Hast thou given thyself in hostage for us? |
| 37862 | Hast thou heard of Herod Agrippa? |
| 37862 | Hast thou not changed, Lydia? |
| 37862 | Hast thou supplanted me here, too? |
| 37862 | Hast-- hast thou ever lacked friends so wholly that thou wast willing to purchase one? |
| 37862 | Hath Judea more to lose than it hath lost? |
| 37862 | Hath he cured any in Cæsar''s house of poisoning; can he speak many languages; is he also a doctor of Laws and a good Jew? |
| 37862 | Hath the bankrupt any hopes? |
| 37862 | Have we, then, delivered this house of peril? |
| 37862 | Have ye forgotten your mother- tongues? |
| 37862 | Having thus suffered the same miseries which are Judea''s, is it not natural that I should relieve her when I, myself, am relieved? 37862 He owes three hundred thousand drachmæ to Cæsar; he says that thou canst help him pay it; is it so?" |
| 37862 | He will get to the emperor, then, if he start? |
| 37862 | Hence? |
| 37862 | How came Agrippa in the street? |
| 37862 | How came the prince in this plight? |
| 37862 | How can I expect it, when thou wilt not tell me now what I wish? |
| 37862 | How did it come to pass? |
| 37862 | How didst thou learn of this? |
| 37862 | How found you them, in this hole? |
| 37862 | How is Peter favored? 37862 How is it that thou beseechest me-- me, the suppliant, praying thy help for mine own ends? |
| 37862 | How is it with our lady? |
| 37862 | How much dost thou know of this thing? |
| 37862 | How now, Marsyas? 37862 How now?" |
| 37862 | How shall I make back to thee thy effort in my behalf? |
| 37862 | How would Stephen answer thee in this? |
| 37862 | How, Marsyas? 37862 How? |
| 37862 | How? 37862 How?" |
| 37862 | How? |
| 37862 | How? |
| 37862 | How? |
| 37862 | I am submissive, Rabbi; yet, how far shall we fly? 37862 I am to advise, then?" |
| 37862 | I pray thee, friend,he said in a low voice,"canst thou tell me where Ananias, the Nazarene, dwelleth?" |
| 37862 | If you had so many moneyers, why have you not paid your debt long ago? |
| 37862 | Impetuous conclusion; hast thou forgotten the twenty- year- old wound which I confessed just now? 37862 In all truth, that manifestation of Cæsar''s favor?" |
| 37862 | Is Rome so much worse than Alexandria? |
| 37862 | Is he gone? |
| 37862 | Is he with thee? |
| 37862 | Is it like thee, my father, to abandon the wholly undefended? |
| 37862 | Is it madness when he persecutes others, but villainy when he oppresses thee? |
| 37862 | Is it not a sufficient cause against him that he is a Nazarene? 37862 Is it pleasing to thee, lady?" |
| 37862 | Is it so, my daughter? |
| 37862 | Is it the air or the sense of superiority over the sluggard that invites thee up at unsunned hours? |
| 37862 | Is my favor worth aught to the Jews? |
| 37862 | Is that the sect that the prefect has been warned to observe? |
| 37862 | Is the hazardous life, then, so inviting that thou hadst liefer be wrong than be safe? |
| 37862 | Is there a specific transgression discovered? |
| 37862 | Is there any doctrine too mad to get it followers? |
| 37862 | Is there no help against him? |
| 37862 | Is there no way to shut him out of Misenum? |
| 37862 | Is there nothing more? |
| 37862 | Is there nothing to be done? |
| 37862 | Is there something thou canst do? |
| 37862 | Is this how you receive Roman citizens in Alexandria? |
| 37862 | Is this my fortunate day? 37862 Lord, there is one with him; shall she enter also?" |
| 37862 | Lydia? |
| 37862 | Lydia? |
| 37862 | May I be of service? |
| 37862 | Must I be introduced? 37862 My lack of confidence, lady? |
| 37862 | Nay, then, thou strict little rabbin, what shall we do? |
| 37862 | Nay, then,she began again, after another pause,"what more dost thou know? |
| 37862 | Nay, who says it, Cæsar? 37862 News?" |
| 37862 | No; but dost thou remember why I went with such haste to Nazareth? |
| 37862 | No? 37862 Now who will imperil himself by giving her asylum?" |
| 37862 | O Junia, how can I? |
| 37862 | O Venus, can not the ban be lifted? 37862 O my brother, when was it said unto thee by the teachers of Christ that death is the end? |
| 37862 | Of a truth, dost thou not say that in thy heart? |
| 37862 | Of you? |
| 37862 | Oh, doubtless,she admitted;"but what of myself? |
| 37862 | Oh, where is that elastic temper which made thee famous in youth, Herod? 37862 Old age?" |
| 37862 | Or should I be blamed,Eutychus groaned,"when it was three against me, with the prince striking at his single defender?" |
| 37862 | Or the proconsul''s? |
| 37862 | Perchance thou wouldst explain to me my daughter''s meaning? |
| 37862 | Power is not offering its protection for nothing; what have I to give in exchange for it? |
| 37862 | Save Agrippa, to kill Saul, to save Lydia, for this Judean vestal''s sake? |
| 37862 | Seest the house built upon the wall,she said simply,"that hath the white gate, at the end of the street?" |
| 37862 | Seest thou how thy servant is used by this vagrant? |
| 37862 | She would buy the man''s freedom, but what then? 37862 So material as to engage the Sanhedrim?" |
| 37862 | So thou wilt follow Flora? |
| 37862 | So ye were in the Jews''place, what would ye do? |
| 37862 | So? |
| 37862 | Stephen of Galilee? 37862 Tell me what thou knowest against Flaccus, and why I have not learned of this?" |
| 37862 | That Israel hath a blasphemer among them, which hath been spared, concealed and not put away? |
| 37862 | The alabarch? |
| 37862 | Then, O my son, which of us is truly subject to the Lord? |
| 37862 | Then, thou wilt give over the companionship of these people? |
| 37862 | Thou knowest Stephen? |
| 37862 | Thou sayest that thou needest me; what can I do? |
| 37862 | Thou wilt not suffer them to lead our men- servants and our maid- servants and our artisans into heresy? |
| 37862 | Thou, Eutychus? |
| 37862 | Thou, a son of Israel, and a stranger in the city of thy fathers? |
| 37862 | Thy life, Marsyas? |
| 37862 | Thy love? |
| 37862 | To En- Gadi? |
| 37862 | To have him tell, under torture, thy part in sheltering Agrippa? 37862 Vasti? |
| 37862 | Wait in the Lord''s business? |
| 37862 | Was ever his touch laid upon you, warm with life and tender with good will? 37862 We also are beset,"the foremost said,"can we enter into the protection of the Synagogue?" |
| 37862 | We hear,responded Classicus,"that Jerusalem and even Judea are unsafe for them, and numbers have appeared in the city of late--""Among us?" |
| 37862 | Well enough; but what of the persecutor? |
| 37862 | Well, Silas? |
| 37862 | Well? |
| 37862 | Well? |
| 37862 | Were not heathen and idolaters instruments for the Lord''s work? 37862 What abideth there, Marsyas?" |
| 37862 | What accusation is this that thou levelest at Judea? |
| 37862 | What burden of mystery dost thou conceal, Joel? |
| 37862 | What can I do for thee that thou shouldst need me? |
| 37862 | What canst thou do, my Marsyas? |
| 37862 | What did Agrippa, then? |
| 37862 | What didst thou for him? |
| 37862 | What didst thou when the procession carried me away that night? |
| 37862 | What do Roman citizens, arriving in Alexandria, and no proconsul to meet them? 37862 What does he threaten?" |
| 37862 | What dost thou love, at all? |
| 37862 | What dost thou mean? |
| 37862 | What dost thou meditate? |
| 37862 | What dost thou say to me, my prince? |
| 37862 | What else? |
| 37862 | What had she to do with this? |
| 37862 | What hast thou done? |
| 37862 | What hast thou to tell, Joel? |
| 37862 | What hath stirred thee against Classicus? |
| 37862 | What have I done? |
| 37862 | What hopes hast thou in Alexandria? |
| 37862 | What is he called? |
| 37862 | What is it thou wouldst have had me do? |
| 37862 | What is it you wish me to do? |
| 37862 | What is it? 37862 What is it?" |
| 37862 | What is it? |
| 37862 | What is it? |
| 37862 | What is the Feast of Flora? |
| 37862 | What is this? |
| 37862 | What is thy will? |
| 37862 | What manner of help? |
| 37862 | What need of him to retire from the world if he be a good Jew? |
| 37862 | What need, young brother? 37862 What news, good sir,"Agrippa asked,"among the schools over the world?" |
| 37862 | What news? |
| 37862 | What of Stephen? |
| 37862 | What passeth within? |
| 37862 | What passeth within? |
| 37862 | What price, then, should I he worth to Cæsar? |
| 37862 | What price? 37862 What saith the Red Brother?" |
| 37862 | What say you, Gesius? 37862 What sayest thou?" |
| 37862 | What shall I do, then? |
| 37862 | What shall we do? |
| 37862 | What shall we do? |
| 37862 | What sum couldst thou lend by pinching thyself? |
| 37862 | What sum in hire? |
| 37862 | What wilt thou do if the Herod returns not? |
| 37862 | What wilt thou do? |
| 37862 | What,she cried, unable to wait for his report,"what said the proconsul?" |
| 37862 | What? 37862 What?" |
| 37862 | What? |
| 37862 | What? |
| 37862 | What? |
| 37862 | What? |
| 37862 | When thou didst go away with the procession? |
| 37862 | When? 37862 Whence came it?" |
| 37862 | Where are they? |
| 37862 | Where is our enemy? |
| 37862 | Where is that and why shouldst thou go there? |
| 37862 | Where was it? |
| 37862 | Where was the little Tiberius? 37862 Which one?" |
| 37862 | Whither? |
| 37862 | Whither? |
| 37862 | Whither? |
| 37862 | Who and what art thou? |
| 37862 | Who art thou, young friend? |
| 37862 | Who art thou? |
| 37862 | Who art thou? |
| 37862 | Who is she? |
| 37862 | Who is that? |
| 37862 | Who is this Peter, that I may not ask him for a loan? |
| 37862 | Who is thy master? |
| 37862 | Who told thee? |
| 37862 | Who were the fugitives? |
| 37862 | Who? |
| 37862 | Whom dost thou serve? |
| 37862 | Whom then wouldst thou please in this vengeance? 37862 Why am I here?" |
| 37862 | Why didst thou not prevent her in this thing? |
| 37862 | Why does he threaten me? |
| 37862 | Why dost thou seek this new philosophy, Justin? |
| 37862 | Why make the effort? 37862 Why may I not pass?" |
| 37862 | Why not hold the lady in hostage, here, for five talents? |
| 37862 | Why now, and not before? |
| 37862 | Why of Flaccus? |
| 37862 | Why read more? 37862 Why should I prefer the provision of one man above another''s? |
| 37862 | Why so late with the story? |
| 37862 | Why wilt thou endanger thyself for this social drift? |
| 37862 | Why yesterday? 37862 Why? |
| 37862 | Why? |
| 37862 | Why? |
| 37862 | Why? |
| 37862 | Why? |
| 37862 | Will Cæsar grant me the prisoner''s privilege and tell me why? |
| 37862 | Will she-- be-- empress? |
| 37862 | Will the Essenes do it? |
| 37862 | Will this gold in all truth help thee to borrow more in Alexandria? |
| 37862 | Wilt thou continue further, lord,Marsyas said,"and tell them how thou hast explained this mystery to thyself?" |
| 37862 | Wilt thou kill him? |
| 37862 | Wilt thou tell me, brother, how I may reach the Gate of Hanaleel from this spot? |
| 37862 | With whom? |
| 37862 | Without having seen Jerusalem, or Rome? |
| 37862 | Wouldst trouble thyself, had the doom fallen on others, instead of thine own, Marsyas? |
| 37862 | Ye are lax, yet wary that ye be not more lax? |
| 37862 | Yesterday? |
| 37862 | Younger? 37862 ''What wilt thou have of me?'' 37862 A slave? 37862 Agrippa cried jovially,hast thou failed to overthrow the tribute- demanding Sphinx or the Dragon?" |
| 37862 | Agrippa cried;"still an Essene?" |
| 37862 | Ah, my lady, what say you? |
| 37862 | Am I in four years forgotten?" |
| 37862 | Am I to have thee by me now in Jerusalem?" |
| 37862 | And I, being a Jew and an upholder of the Law, can I be content, knowing he was cut off in heresy?" |
| 37862 | And Marsyas bade thee let him go?" |
| 37862 | And Silas?" |
| 37862 | And again Saul spoke, as if he had been answered, saying:''Lord, what is it that Thou wouldst have me to do?'' |
| 37862 | And how should I know that the knavery does not extend to Anthedon and Cæsarea?" |
| 37862 | And thy princess?" |
| 37862 | Are slaves favored? |
| 37862 | Are ye afraid of the weakling Pharisee?" |
| 37862 | Are ye men? |
| 37862 | Are ye not stabbed with doubts that he died in vain-- even ye who believe thus firmly that he was right? |
| 37862 | Art so gray?" |
| 37862 | Art sure thou didst not play the craven, Eutychus?" |
| 37862 | Art thou content? |
| 37862 | Art thou sent for me on Saul''s mission?" |
| 37862 | Art thou well-- unhurt?" |
| 37862 | Away from me?" |
| 37862 | Before whom was she afraid to disclose the princess''refuge, if not Classicus? |
| 37862 | Believest thou this? |
| 37862 | But go on; what is the circumstance?" |
| 37862 | But tell me this: what does Agrippa here?" |
| 37862 | But thou''lt remember, Marsyas, that this Saul consented unto the death of thy Stephen?" |
| 37862 | But what had the knave of a charioteer against me? |
| 37862 | But what is a Messiah?" |
| 37862 | But what knows the clay of the potter''s intent that passes it through fire? |
| 37862 | But who is the thief?" |
| 37862 | But why this inquisition? |
| 37862 | But-- but how shall I know one of these outlandish coins from another?" |
| 37862 | But-- but-- Marsyas-- what manner of vessel carryeth him? |
| 37862 | Can ye take it idly that his hands grasp the dust and the tomb hath hidden his smile?" |
| 37862 | Canst see my face, brother?" |
| 37862 | Certain feeble and forward speakers in the synagogues, whom even an apostate could overthrow in argument? |
| 37862 | Could such a thing be possible? |
| 37862 | Did I ever think to lose patience with a man for swearing to make me a king? |
| 37862 | Did ever his eyes bless you with their light? |
| 37862 | Did that thing openly?" |
| 37862 | Did the preachment afflict thee which I delivered the other day upon thy levity and riotous living?" |
| 37862 | Did you refuse him?" |
| 37862 | Didst advance it to her?" |
| 37862 | Do I smell of wine? |
| 37862 | Dost thou come from the community on the Dead Sea?" |
| 37862 | Dost thou love the usurer that lends thee money, Flaccus?" |
| 37862 | Dost thou promise to provide the Herod with three hundred thousand drachmæ which shall be paid unto Cæsar''s treasury?" |
| 37862 | Dost understand? |
| 37862 | Eh? |
| 37862 | Eutychus, art thou there? |
| 37862 | Flaccus or Classicus?" |
| 37862 | Flora''s errand? |
| 37862 | For a mere scintillation of verity, wilt thou die?" |
| 37862 | For his love''s sake? |
| 37862 | For that purpose, he must go to Rome-- and leave Alexandria-- to return? |
| 37862 | Had any of that congregation a hope for power? |
| 37862 | Had the vagabonds returned to their place for mischief, outside the alabarch''s mansion? |
| 37862 | Harkened unto the heretics?" |
| 37862 | Has Eros pierced thee in a new spot?" |
| 37862 | Has he any information against thee which Flaccus could use?" |
| 37862 | Has the knowledge that I am a Herod been slandering me to you?" |
| 37862 | Hast discovered the thief?" |
| 37862 | Hast thou any influence with the brethren?" |
| 37862 | Hath Agrippa kept his counsel, thus long? |
| 37862 | Hath he cause, my daughter?" |
| 37862 | Hath thy search after their philosophy taught thee so much?" |
| 37862 | Have I lost-- soul for a caprice---- and beseech levity-- to lov-- me? |
| 37862 | Have I not said I indorse two?" |
| 37862 | Have not even the beasts of the fields served His ends?" |
| 37862 | Have ye loves and hearts? |
| 37862 | He looked at her: did she mean Lydia? |
| 37862 | He, an Essene? |
| 37862 | Here, with them?" |
| 37862 | How am I to get out of Capito''s clutches, here?" |
| 37862 | How canst thou turn from the faith of thy fathers?" |
| 37862 | How far shall we flee, Rabbi?" |
| 37862 | How long must we go on?" |
| 37862 | How long wilt thou study here?" |
| 37862 | How many in the past generation, Cypros? |
| 37862 | How much of this tale thou heardest so deceitfully is incorrect history?" |
| 37862 | How-- how is he favored in disposition?" |
| 37862 | If we die in this generation, who shall gather the harvest of the Lord?" |
| 37862 | In Rome? |
| 37862 | Is Rome harsher to her citizens than she is with her subjugated peoples?" |
| 37862 | Is it dead?" |
| 37862 | Is it easy for me, who hath suffered exactly thy sorrows, to stand still and wait on God?" |
| 37862 | Is it enough?" |
| 37862 | Is it native in a Herod to love his wife so well? |
| 37862 | Is it no matter to you that his memory is held in scorn? |
| 37862 | Is it not enough?" |
| 37862 | Is it not plain to you? |
| 37862 | Is it not so, good sir?" |
| 37862 | Is it part of faith to fear that evil will triumph? |
| 37862 | Is it the Lady Herod?" |
| 37862 | Is it then so common in Judea for powers to be discovered with their hearts stunned, that no comment is made upon it? |
| 37862 | Is she dead?" |
| 37862 | Is that the inheritance which thou wouldst leave to them who love thee?" |
| 37862 | Is there anything in sight to disturb a vestal? |
| 37862 | It was Saul of Tarsus, speaking:"Who art Thou, Lord?" |
| 37862 | Know ye all one another?" |
| 37862 | Knowest thou the evil mouth that spread sayings against Lydia? |
| 37862 | Lackest thou courage, Classicus, or hast thou money enough to last thee till thou findest another lady? |
| 37862 | Lydia? |
| 37862 | Make confession here, openly, of a thing which I blush to confess to myself?" |
| 37862 | Marsyas made no answer; would it be long before he should have his bitter wish? |
| 37862 | Marsyas? |
| 37862 | Marsyas? |
| 37862 | Must I give all to the vengeance of God, who visiteth apostates for their iniquity? |
| 37862 | My lord, when dost thou proceed to Rome?" |
| 37862 | Not even if thy work maketh another unhappy-- whom thou wouldst not have to be unhappy?" |
| 37862 | Now canst thou, knowing Cypros, ask of her expecting any change? |
| 37862 | Now, how much younger? |
| 37862 | Now, what will become of Lydia?" |
| 37862 | Or perchance thou givest Flaccus credit for suffering in silence? |
| 37862 | Or the witnesses whom they suborned in revenge? |
| 37862 | Or was she concerned for Classicus? |
| 37862 | Oriental love- philters, simitars, poisoning, silks and mysticism in the shadow of the Fora and within sound of the Senate- chamber? |
| 37862 | Presently he said, as if speaking to himself:"Is this thine hour, O my martyred Stephen? |
| 37862 | Presently he spoke again, eagerly, humbly, and still afraid:"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" |
| 37862 | Saul, who knoweth no moderation? |
| 37862 | Sawest thou the destruction of the host, before thy people''s Temple? |
| 37862 | Say, be these Israel, or Gamaliel who discountenanced the persecution? |
| 37862 | Servest thou Vitellius or Jehovah?'' |
| 37862 | Shall I name my price?" |
| 37862 | She watched him for a moment then ventured discreetly:"Is it thy wish to win him from her, or her from him?" |
| 37862 | Sleepest thou the better, knowing that I have followed thy testament for Saul, rather than mine own oath against him?" |
| 37862 | So he arose and followed Ananias unto this house--""Here?" |
| 37862 | So, who is Israel, O son of a shut house and of a hermit brotherhood? |
| 37862 | Spitted on an arrow during all those days thou didst love me?" |
| 37862 | Ten, twenty, a hundred? |
| 37862 | The alabarch had not the three hundred thousand drachmæ to lend--"Marsyas''forehead contracted; was not his work against Saul of Tarsus progressing?" |
| 37862 | The terrified Levites crept closer to one another, but Joel finally wet his dry lips and spoke in a half- whisper:"Rabbi?" |
| 37862 | Then as if forcing herself to speak, she said:"Thou-- thou wilt keep my lord''s love for me, Marsyas?" |
| 37862 | Then why not come and be my steward for wages?" |
| 37862 | Then wilt thou comfort thyself with bloody work, while the tomb stands between thee and Stephen''s restraining hands?" |
| 37862 | Thou becamest a prisoner to save me?" |
| 37862 | Thou hast not changed in that time; why should I?" |
| 37862 | Thou hast not forgotten these things?" |
| 37862 | Thou wilt not forget to serve me, when thou comest to thine own?" |
| 37862 | Thou wilt show them the way?" |
| 37862 | Thy face sayeth me''yea''; is it not written that they who believe on Him shall share each and all of His blessings? |
| 37862 | Toss an alms to a Herod? |
| 37862 | Was he not to see Lydia again? |
| 37862 | Was his punishment of Saul to be done, at his own risk, at last? |
| 37862 | Was this evader and collected schemer the innocent Essene he had met on the slopes of Olivet the previous evening? |
| 37862 | Well, has the Herod sued?" |
| 37862 | What comfort canst thou offer him from thy housekeeping?" |
| 37862 | What could I do?" |
| 37862 | What course of instruction was it which carried a man into middle life before it was finished? |
| 37862 | What does it mean?" |
| 37862 | What dost thou here, O divinity, away from Rome and the arms of Cæsar?" |
| 37862 | What dost thou here, in Alexandria where there is no court, no games, no senators, no Cæsar-- naught but riots and Jews?" |
| 37862 | What hast thou achieved in controlling this Herod, or in working against Saul of Tarsus? |
| 37862 | What hast thou done?" |
| 37862 | What hast thou won from thy long battle for the stern purposes which have engaged thee? |
| 37862 | What hath befallen thee? |
| 37862 | What meanest thou?" |
| 37862 | What money hast thou?" |
| 37862 | What news?" |
| 37862 | What obedience need I expect in Rome?" |
| 37862 | What of yourselves, now? |
| 37862 | What passeth?" |
| 37862 | What price did the costliest slave in thy knowledge command?" |
| 37862 | What right had he, who had brought with him the spirit of murder, in the Holy Hill? |
| 37862 | What shall I do in this matter?" |
| 37862 | What should he win for his exposure of Classicus, but scorn from Lydia, and a misconstruction of his motive? |
| 37862 | What sum does she want?" |
| 37862 | What was it, reason or repentance that freed thee?" |
| 37862 | What will come of it? |
| 37862 | What wilt thou do, if she be immovable, or already gone-- for Cæsar is in Tusculum to- day?" |
| 37862 | What wilt thou have of me?" |
| 37862 | What wilt thou have of them, Marsyas?" |
| 37862 | What, then, shall we do to cleanse our skirt and yet offer no violence to our advanced thinking?" |
| 37862 | What? |
| 37862 | What?" |
| 37862 | When he hath desolated Israel, stained the holy judgment hall with tortured perjury, slandered the Jews before the world as slayers of the innocent? |
| 37862 | Where are these Nazarenes?" |
| 37862 | Where are these apostates?" |
| 37862 | Where is my lady? |
| 37862 | Where is the physician?" |
| 37862 | Where is the place? |
| 37862 | Where shall you get this money?" |
| 37862 | Where were ye? |
| 37862 | Wherefore the change?" |
| 37862 | Which of the bankrupts who owe me has been replenished?" |
| 37862 | Whither had his courage departed? |
| 37862 | Who protects the thief?" |
| 37862 | Who wastes tears over them? |
| 37862 | Who, these? |
| 37862 | Whom wilt thou punish? |
| 37862 | Why did the woman insist on sitting with him, when she wanted so much to be with the Roman? |
| 37862 | Why did they not hold off this stoning for a day?" |
| 37862 | Why do I promise the Essene favor? |
| 37862 | Why does Marsyas protect my pillager?" |
| 37862 | Why wilt thou marry this boy, for his purse, when there are men in pain for thy favor?" |
| 37862 | Why wilt thou marry this obscure young Alexandrian-- whoever he be?" |
| 37862 | Why, then, should not these people turn on the Pharisee? |
| 37862 | Why? |
| 37862 | Will the Alexandrian lend? |
| 37862 | Will they dare resist the coming emperor? |
| 37862 | Will you wait to see her perish?" |
| 37862 | Wilt thou abide longer and hear us?" |
| 37862 | Wilt thou direct me?" |
| 37862 | Wilt thou direct us to a pool?" |
| 37862 | Wilt thou excuse me, my brother?" |
| 37862 | Wilt thou hold off Life eternal that thou mayest bide a little longer in such insecurity as this life? |
| 37862 | Wilt thou not come to Greece-- with me, my Lydia?" |
| 37862 | Wilt thou not tarry and rest?" |
| 37862 | Wilt thou snivel and deny?" |
| 37862 | Wilt thou turn thy back upon Egypt''s joy and see only Italy''s?" |
| 37862 | Would it be easy?" |
| 37862 | Wouldst have me for hire?" |
| 37862 | [ Illustration:"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" |
| 37862 | after triumph over the oppression of the mighty, is this your overthrow?" |
| 37862 | am I like that?" |
| 37862 | do they resent it?" |
| 37862 | even now?" |
| 37862 | has Flora summoned thee?" |
| 37862 | he asked;"why will they not admit me?" |
| 37862 | he begged, feeling the repulse,"dost thou not love me, then?" |
| 37862 | he fumed at the polyglot assembly,"or are ye base- born Syrians boasting a nationality that ye can not prove? |
| 37862 | roared the next post, who had heard his challenge,"challenging sand- columns, Sergius? |
| 37862 | sighed Junia, still watching Marsyas,"is it not enough to grow old without having to become virtuous?" |
| 3296 | Is that it? |
| 3296 | No,they say;"What then? |
| 3296 | What ails us? |
| 3296 | What then? 3296 What then?" |
| 3296 | What will ye say then, O ye gainsayers? 3296 What?" |
| 3296 | Where art thou now, my tongue? 3296 are they to be esteemed righteous who had many wives at once, and did kill men, and sacrifice living creatures?" |
| 3296 | is God bounded by a bodily shape, and has hairs and nails? |
| 3296 | that it was idly said, and without meaning? |
| 3296 | ( for to such creatures, is this food due;) what is it that feeds thee? |
| 3296 | A man hath murdered another; why? |
| 3296 | Again, if he asked had I rather be such as he was, or what I then was? |
| 3296 | Am I not then myself, O Lord my God? |
| 3296 | Am I then doubtful of myself in this matter? |
| 3296 | Ambition, what seeks it, but honours and glory? |
| 3296 | Ambrose has no leisure; we have no leisure to read; where shall we find even the books? |
| 3296 | And I am admonished,"Truly the things of God knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God: how then do we also know, what things are given us of God?" |
| 3296 | And I said,"Is Truth therefore nothing because it is not diffused through space finite or infinite?" |
| 3296 | And I said,"Lord, is not this Thy Scripture true, since Thou art true, and being Truth, hast set it forth? |
| 3296 | And I turned myself unto myself, and said to myself,"Who art thou?" |
| 3296 | And doth not a soul, sighing after such fictions, commit fornication against Thee, trust in things unreal, and feed the wind? |
| 3296 | And from Thee, O Lord, unto whose eyes the abyss of man''s conscience is naked, what could be hidden in me though I would not confess it? |
| 3296 | And how have they injured Thee? |
| 3296 | And how shall I call upon my God, my God and Lord, since, when I call for Him, I shall be calling Him to myself? |
| 3296 | And how shall I find Thee, if I remember Thee not? |
| 3296 | And if any should ask me,"How knowest thou?" |
| 3296 | And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man''s, who shall give you that which is your own? |
| 3296 | And is this the innocence of boyhood? |
| 3296 | And is, then one part of Thee greater, another less? |
| 3296 | And she smiled on me with a persuasive mockery, as would she say,"Canst not thou what these youths, what these maidens can? |
| 3296 | And that very long one do I measure as present, seeing I measure it not till it be ended? |
| 3296 | And the prophet cries out, How long, slow of heart? |
| 3296 | And then mark how he excites himself to lust as by celestial authority:"And what God? |
| 3296 | And this changeableness, what is it? |
| 3296 | And to what end? |
| 3296 | And to what purpose? |
| 3296 | And what can be unlooked- for by Thee, Who knowest all things? |
| 3296 | And what could I so ill endure, or, when I detected it, upbraided I so fiercely, as that I was doing to others? |
| 3296 | And what had I now said, my God, my life, my holy joy? |
| 3296 | And what have we, that we have not received of Thee? |
| 3296 | And what is it to have silence there, but to have no sound there? |
| 3296 | And what is like unto Thy Word, our Lord, who endureth in Himself without becoming old, and maketh all things new? |
| 3296 | And what is this? |
| 3296 | And what man can teach man to understand this? |
| 3296 | And what more monstrous than to affirm things to become better by losing all their good? |
| 3296 | And what should we more say,"why that substance which God is should not be corruptible,"seeing if it were so, it should not be God? |
| 3296 | And what was it that I delighted in, but to love, and be loved? |
| 3296 | And what was it which they suggested in that I said,"this or that,"what did they suggest, O my God? |
| 3296 | And what, O Lord, was she with so many tears asking of Thee, but that Thou wouldest not suffer me to sail? |
| 3296 | And what, among all parts of the world can be found nearer to an absolute formlessness, than earth and deep? |
| 3296 | And when shall I have time to rehearse all Thy great benefits towards us at that time, especially when hasting on to yet greater mercies? |
| 3296 | And when shall that be? |
| 3296 | And whence does that present itself, but out of the memory itself? |
| 3296 | And whence is it that often even in sleep we resist, and mindful of our purpose, and abiding most chastely in it, yield no assent to such enticements? |
| 3296 | And whence should he be able to do this, unless Thou hadst made that mind? |
| 3296 | And whence should they be, hadst not Thou appointed them? |
| 3296 | And where do I recognise it, but in the memory itself? |
| 3296 | And where shall I find Thee? |
| 3296 | And where should that be, which it containeth not of itself? |
| 3296 | And where would have been those her so strong and unceasing prayers, unintermitting to Thee alone? |
| 3296 | And whither, when the heaven and the earth are filled, pourest Thou forth the remainder of Thyself? |
| 3296 | And who but Thou could be the workmaster of such wonders? |
| 3296 | And who denies past things to be now no longer? |
| 3296 | And who denieth the present time hath no space, because it passeth away in a moment? |
| 3296 | And who has any right to speak against it, if just punishment follow the sinner? |
| 3296 | And who is He but our God? |
| 3296 | And who is he, O Lord, who is not some whit transported beyond the limits of necessity? |
| 3296 | And who is sufficient for these things? |
| 3296 | And who is this but our God, the God that made heaven and earth, and filleth them, because by filling them He created them? |
| 3296 | And who leaveth Thee, whither goeth or whither fleeth he, but from Thee well- pleased, to Thee displeased? |
| 3296 | And who there knew him not? |
| 3296 | And whose but Thine were these words which by my mother, Thy faithful one, Thou sangest in my ears? |
| 3296 | And why seek I now in what place thereof Thou dwellest, as if there were places therein? |
| 3296 | And yet whence was this too, but from the sin and vanity of this life, because I was flesh, and a breath that passeth away and cometh not again? |
| 3296 | And, not indeed in these words, yet to this purpose, spake I much unto Thee: and Thou, O Lord, how long? |
| 3296 | Anger seeks revenge: who revenges more justly than Thou? |
| 3296 | Are an hundred years, when present, a long time? |
| 3296 | Are griefs then too loved? |
| 3296 | Are these things false?" |
| 3296 | Are we ashamed to follow, because others are gone before, and not ashamed not even to follow?" |
| 3296 | As if He had been in place, Who is not in place, of Whom only it is written, that He is Thy gift? |
| 3296 | As then we remember joy? |
| 3296 | As we remember eloquence then? |
| 3296 | As we remember numbers then? |
| 3296 | BOOK VI O Thou, my hope from my youth, where wert Thou to me, and whither wert Thou gone? |
| 3296 | BOOK XI Lord, since eternity is Thine, art Thou ignorant of what I say to Thee? |
| 3296 | Because none doth ordinarily laugh alone? |
| 3296 | Before them what more foul than I was already, displeasing even such as myself? |
| 3296 | Behold, I too say, O my God, Where art Thou? |
| 3296 | But I would not be asked,"Why then doth God err?" |
| 3296 | But Thou who fillest all things, fillest Thou them with Thy whole self? |
| 3296 | But again I said, Who made me? |
| 3296 | But art thou any thing, that thus I speak to thee? |
| 3296 | But didst Thou fail me even by that old man, or forbear to heal my soul? |
| 3296 | But do I depart any whither? |
| 3296 | But do I perceive it, or seem to perceive it? |
| 3296 | But for what fruit would they hear this? |
| 3296 | But hast not Thou, O most merciful Lord, pardoned and remitted this sin also, with my other most horrible and deadly sins, in the holy water? |
| 3296 | But how didst Thou make the heaven and the earth? |
| 3296 | But how didst Thou speak? |
| 3296 | But how dost Thou make them? |
| 3296 | But how is that future diminished or consumed, which as yet is not? |
| 3296 | But how know we this? |
| 3296 | But if before heaven and earth there was no time, why is it demanded, what Thou then didst? |
| 3296 | But if the will of God has been from eternity that the creature should be, why was not the creature also from eternity?" |
| 3296 | But in these things is no place of repose; they abide not, they flee; and who can follow them with the senses of the flesh? |
| 3296 | But in what sense is that long or short, which is not? |
| 3296 | But is it also in grief for a thing lost, and the sorrow wherewith I was then overwhelmed? |
| 3296 | But is it so, as one remembers Carthage who hath seen it? |
| 3296 | But now when I hear that there be three kinds of questions,"Whether the thing be? |
| 3296 | But should any ask me, had I rather be merry or fearful? |
| 3296 | But time present how do we measure, seeing it hath no space? |
| 3296 | But was not either the Father, or the Son, borne above the waters? |
| 3296 | But we measure times as they are passing, by perceiving them; but past, which now are not, or the future, which are not yet, who can measure? |
| 3296 | But what availed the utmost neatness of the cup- bearer to my thirst for a more precious draught? |
| 3296 | But what did this further me, imagining that Thou, O Lord God, the Truth, wert a vast and bright body, and I a fragment of that body? |
| 3296 | But what do I love, when I love Thee? |
| 3296 | But what foul offences can there be against Thee, who canst not be defiled? |
| 3296 | But what in discourse do we mention more familiarly and knowingly, than time? |
| 3296 | But what is forgetfulness, but the privation of memory? |
| 3296 | But what is nearer to me than myself? |
| 3296 | But what is this, and what kind of mystery? |
| 3296 | But what pain? |
| 3296 | But what prouder, than for me with a strange madness to maintain myself to be that by nature which Thou art? |
| 3296 | But what sort of compassion is this for feigned and scenical passions? |
| 3296 | But what sort of man is any man, seeing he is but a man? |
| 3296 | But what speak I of these things? |
| 3296 | But what when the memory itself loses any thing, as falls out when we forget and seek that we may recollect? |
| 3296 | But when it was present, how did it write its image in the memory, seeing that forgetfulness by its presence effaces even what it finds already noted? |
| 3296 | But when then pay we court to our great friends, whose favour we need? |
| 3296 | But whence had it this degree of being, but from Thee, from Whom are all things, so far forth as they are? |
| 3296 | But whence should I know, whether he spake truth? |
| 3296 | But whence, by what way, and whither passes it while it is a measuring? |
| 3296 | But where in my memory residest Thou, O Lord, where residest Thou there? |
| 3296 | But where shall it be sought or when? |
| 3296 | But where was I, when I was seeking Thee? |
| 3296 | But wherefore was it not meet that the knowledge of Him should be conveyed otherwise, than as being borne above? |
| 3296 | But whether by images or no, who can readily say? |
| 3296 | But whither ascend ye, when ye are on high, and set your mouth against the heavens? |
| 3296 | But whither goes that vein? |
| 3296 | But who shall cleanse it? |
| 3296 | But whosoever reckons up his real merits to Thee, what reckons he up to Thee but Thine own gifts? |
| 3296 | But why did I so much hate the Greek, which I studied as a boy? |
| 3296 | But why doth"truth generate hatred,"and the man of Thine, preaching the truth, become an enemy to them? |
| 3296 | But yet what was it? |
| 3296 | But yet who bade that Manichaeus write on these things also, skill in which was no element of piety? |
| 3296 | But yet, O my God, Who madest us, what comparison is there betwixt that honour that I paid to her, and her slavery for me? |
| 3296 | By remembrance, as though I had forgotten it, remembering that I had forgotten it? |
| 3296 | By what Word then didst Thou speak, that a body might be made, whereby these words again might be made? |
| 3296 | By what way dost Thou, to whom nothing is to come, teach things to come; or rather of the future, dost teach things present? |
| 3296 | By which of these ought I to seek my God? |
| 3296 | Can it at any time or place be unjust to love God with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his mind; and his neighbour as himself? |
| 3296 | Can my hand do this, or the hand of my mouth by speech bring about a thing so great? |
| 3296 | Can our hopes in court rise higher than to be the Emperor''s favourites? |
| 3296 | Could it be measured the rather, for that? |
| 3296 | Did not I read in thee of Jove the thunderer and the adulterer? |
| 3296 | Did not my God, Who is not only good, but goodness itself? |
| 3296 | Did the whole tumult of my soul, for which neither time nor utterance sufficed, reach them? |
| 3296 | Didst Thou then indeed hold Thy peace to me? |
| 3296 | Do I then love in a man, what I hate to be, who am a man? |
| 3296 | Do I then measure, O my God, and know not what I measure? |
| 3296 | Do not divers wills distract the mind, while he deliberates which he should rather choose? |
| 3296 | Do the heaven and earth then contain Thee, since Thou fillest them? |
| 3296 | Do they desire to joy with me, when they hear how near, by Thy gift, I approach unto Thee? |
| 3296 | Does not my soul most truly confess unto Thee, that I do measure times? |
| 3296 | Does the memory perchance not belong to the mind? |
| 3296 | Dost Thou bid me assent, if any define time to be"motion of a body?" |
| 3296 | Dost Thou mock me for asking this, and bid me praise Thee and acknowledge Thee, for that I do know? |
| 3296 | Doth then, O Lord God of truth, whoso knoweth these things, therefore please Thee? |
| 3296 | Doth this sweeten it, that we hope Thou hearest? |
| 3296 | Envy disputes for excellency: what more excellent than Thou? |
| 3296 | Even now, after the descent of Life to you, will ye not ascend and live? |
| 3296 | For I ask any one, had he rather joy in truth, or in falsehood? |
| 3296 | For I ask them, is it good to take pleasure in reading the Apostle? |
| 3296 | For had I then parted hence, whither had I departed, but into fire and torments, such as my misdeeds deserved in the truth of Thy appointment? |
| 3296 | For had there been light, where should it have been but by being over all, aloft, and enlightening? |
| 3296 | For his presence did not lessen my privacy; or how could he forsake me so disturbed? |
| 3296 | For how much better are the fables of poets and grammarians than these snares? |
| 3296 | For how should He, by the crucifixion of a phantasm, which I believed Him to be? |
| 3296 | For how should there be a blessed life where life itself is not? |
| 3296 | For if He made, what did He make but a creature? |
| 3296 | For if Thine ears be not with us in the depths also, whither shall we go? |
| 3296 | For if they be comprised in this word earth; how then can formless matter be meant in that name of earth, when we see the waters so beautiful? |
| 3296 | For if( say they) He were unemployed and wrought not, why does He not also henceforth, and for ever, as He did heretofore? |
| 3296 | For that past time which was long, was it long when it was now past, or when it was yet present? |
| 3296 | For then I ask myself how much more or less troublesome it is to me not to have them? |
| 3296 | For what am I to myself without Thee, but a guide to mine own downfall? |
| 3296 | For what did heaven and earth, which Thou madest in the Beginning, deserve of Thee? |
| 3296 | For what else is it to feed the wind, but to feed them, that is by going astray to become their pleasure and derision? |
| 3296 | For what is it to hear from Thee of themselves, but to know themselves? |
| 3296 | For what is nearer to Thine ears than a confessing heart, and a life of faith? |
| 3296 | For what is time? |
| 3296 | For what is, but because Thou art? |
| 3296 | For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man, which is in him? |
| 3296 | For what mortal can? |
| 3296 | For what other place is there for such a soul? |
| 3296 | For what pleasure hath it, to see in a mangled carcase what will make you shudder? |
| 3296 | For what profited me good abilities, not employed to good uses? |
| 3296 | For what shall I say, when it is clear to me that I remember forgetfulness? |
| 3296 | For what thief will abide a thief? |
| 3296 | For what would I say, O Lord my God, but that I know not whence I came into this dying life( shall I call it?) |
| 3296 | For what, I beseech Thee, O my God, do I measure, when I say, either indefinitely"this is a longer time than that,"or definitely"this is double that"? |
| 3296 | For when a body is moved, I by time measure, how long it moveth, from the time it began to move until it left off? |
| 3296 | For when it was found, whence should she know whether it were the same, unless she remembered it? |
| 3296 | For whence could innumerable ages pass by, which Thou madest not, Thou the Author and Creator of all ages? |
| 3296 | For whence else is this hesitation between conflicting wills? |
| 3296 | For whence shouldest Thou have this, which Thou hadst not made, thereof to make any thing? |
| 3296 | For where did they, who foretold things to come, see them, if as yet they be not? |
| 3296 | For where doth he not find Thy law in his own punishment? |
| 3296 | For where was that charity building upon the foundation of humility, which is Christ Jesus? |
| 3296 | For whither fled they, when they fled from Thy presence? |
| 3296 | For whither should my heart flee from my heart? |
| 3296 | For who discerneth us, but Thou? |
| 3296 | For who is Lord but the Lord? |
| 3296 | For who would willingly speak thereof, if so oft as we name grief or fear, we should be compelled to be sad or fearful? |
| 3296 | For why should not the motions of all bodies rather be times? |
| 3296 | For with a wounded heart have I beheld Thy brightness, and stricken back I said,"Who can attain thither? |
| 3296 | For, what was that which was thence through my tongue distilled into the ears of my most familiar friends? |
| 3296 | Grant me, Lord, to know and understand which is first, to call on Thee or to praise Thee? |
| 3296 | Had He no might to turn and change the whole, so that no evil should remain in it, seeing He is All- mighty? |
| 3296 | Hadst not Thou created me, and separated me from the beasts of the field, and fowls of the air? |
| 3296 | Hast Thou, although present every where, cast away our misery far from Thee? |
| 3296 | Hast not Thou, O Lord, taught his soul, which confesseth unto Thee? |
| 3296 | Have I not confessed against myself my transgressions unto Thee, and Thou, my God, hast forgiven the iniquity of my heart? |
| 3296 | He cries out, How long? |
| 3296 | Heal Thou all my bones, and let them say, O Lord, who is like unto Thee? |
| 3296 | How can I say that the image of forgetfulness is retained by my memory, not forgetfulness itself, when I remember it? |
| 3296 | How did I burn then, my God, how did I burn to re- mount from earthly things to Thee, nor knew I what Thou wouldest do with me? |
| 3296 | How did corporeal matter deserve of Thee, to be even invisible and without form? |
| 3296 | How did they deserve of Thee, to be even without form, since they had not been even this, but from Thee? |
| 3296 | How may it then be measured? |
| 3296 | How seek I it? |
| 3296 | How then do I seek Thee, O Lord? |
| 3296 | How then do I seek a happy life, seeing I have it not, until I can say, where I ought to say it,"It is enough"? |
| 3296 | How then is it present that I remember it, since when present I can not remember? |
| 3296 | How then know I this, seeing I know not what time is? |
| 3296 | How then should it be called, that it might be in some measure conveyed to those of duller mind, but by some ordinary word? |
| 3296 | I beseech Thee, my God, I would fain know, if so Thou willest, for what purpose my baptism was then deferred? |
| 3296 | I exclaim:"what is it? |
| 3296 | I loved then in it also the company of the accomplices, with whom I did it? |
| 3296 | I measure the motion of a body in time; and the time itself do I not measure? |
| 3296 | I remember to have sought and found many a thing; and this I thereby know, that when I was seeking any of them, and was asked,"Is this it?" |
| 3296 | I sent up these sorrowful words: How long, how long,"to- morrow, and tomorrow?" |
| 3296 | I should choose to be myself, though worn with cares and fears; but out of wrong judgment; for, was it the truth? |
| 3296 | I should have desired verily, had I then been Moses( for we all come from the same lump, and what is man, saving that Thou art mindful of him? |
| 3296 | If God be for us, who can be against us? |
| 3296 | If in my praise I am moved with the good of my neighbour, why am I less moved if another be unjustly dispraised than if it be myself? |
| 3296 | If not, why does it still echo in our ears on all sides,"Let him alone, let him do as he will, for he is not yet baptised?" |
| 3296 | If the devil were the author, whence is that same devil? |
| 3296 | If, again, I should ask which might be forgotten with least detriment to the concerns of life, reading and writing or these poetic fictions? |
| 3296 | In so small a creature, what was not wonderful, not admirable? |
| 3296 | In the future, whence it passeth through? |
| 3296 | In the way that the voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son? |
| 3296 | In what space then do we measure time passing? |
| 3296 | Is it also present to itself by its image, and not by itself? |
| 3296 | Is it body? |
| 3296 | Is it clasped up with the eyes? |
| 3296 | Is it false, that every nature already formed, or matter capable of form, is not, but from Him Who is supremely good, because He is supremely?" |
| 3296 | Is it not thus, as I recall it, O Lord my God, Thou judge of my conscience? |
| 3296 | Is it soul? |
| 3296 | Is it that the matter was without form, in which because there was no form, there was no order? |
| 3296 | Is it that which constituteth soul or body? |
| 3296 | Is it then a slight woe to love Thee not? |
| 3296 | Is it to come? |
| 3296 | Is it without it, and not within? |
| 3296 | Is justice therefore various or mutable? |
| 3296 | Is not the life of man upon earth all trial: without any interval? |
| 3296 | Is not the life of man upon earth all trial? |
| 3296 | Is not this corporeal figure apparent to all whose senses are perfect? |
| 3296 | Is the comparison unlike in this, because not in all respects like? |
| 3296 | Is the thing different, because they are but small creatures? |
| 3296 | Is this their allotted measure? |
| 3296 | Know I not this also? |
| 3296 | Known therefore it is to all, for they with one voice be asked,"would they be happy?" |
| 3296 | Lastly, why would He make any thing at all of it, and not rather by the same All- mightiness cause it not to be at all? |
| 3296 | Let him also rejoice and say, What thing is this? |
| 3296 | Let my bones be bedewed with Thy love, and let them say unto Thee, Who is like unto Thee, O Lord? |
| 3296 | Let my heart and my tongue praise Thee; yea, let all my bones say, O Lord, who is like unto Thee? |
| 3296 | Life is vain, death uncertain; if it steals upon us on a sudden, in what state shall we depart hence? |
| 3296 | Lo, are they not full of their old leaven, who say to us,"What was God doing before He made heaven and earth? |
| 3296 | May I learn from Thee, who art Truth, and approach the ear of my heart unto Thy mouth, that Thou mayest tell me why weeping is sweet to the miserable? |
| 3296 | My God hath done this for me more abundantly, that I should now see thee withal, despising earthly happiness, become His servant: what do I here?" |
| 3296 | My God, my Mercy, with how much gall didst Thou out of Thy great goodness besprinkle for me that sweetness? |
| 3296 | My life being such, was it life, O my God? |
| 3296 | No man sings there, Shall not my soul be submitted unto God? |
| 3296 | Nor did that depart,--(for whither went it?) |
| 3296 | Notwithstanding, in how many most petty and contemptible things is our curiosity daily tempted, and how often we give way, who can recount? |
| 3296 | O my Lord, my Light, shall not here also Thy Truth mock at man? |
| 3296 | O ye sons of men, how long so slow of heart? |
| 3296 | Oh that they were wearied out with their famine, and said, Who will show us good things? |
| 3296 | One is commended, and, unseen, he is loved: doth this love enter the heart of the hearer from the mouth of the commender? |
| 3296 | Or hath it no being? |
| 3296 | Or how shall we obtain salvation, but from Thy hand, re- making what it made? |
| 3296 | Or if it were from eternity, why suffered He it so to be for infinite spaces of times past, and was pleased so long after to make something out of it? |
| 3296 | Or in the present, by which it passes? |
| 3296 | Or is weeping indeed a bitter thing, and for very loathing of the things which we before enjoyed, does it then, when we shrink from them, please us? |
| 3296 | Or was it then good, even for a while, to cry for what, if given, would hurt? |
| 3296 | Or what am I to Thee that Thou demandest my love, and, if I give it not, art wroth with me, and threatenest me with grievous woes? |
| 3296 | Or where but with Thee is unshaken safety? |
| 3296 | Or whereas no man likes to be miserable, is he yet pleased to be merciful? |
| 3296 | Or who, except Thou, our God, made for us that firmament of authority over us in Thy Divine Scripture? |
| 3296 | Or, could it then be against His will? |
| 3296 | Or, desiring to learn it as a thing unknown, either never having known, or so forgotten it, as not even to remember that I had forgotten it? |
| 3296 | Or, is it rather, that we call on Thee that we may know Thee? |
| 3296 | Or, should there in our words be some syllables short, others long, but because those sounded in a shorter time, these in a longer? |
| 3296 | Or, was there some evil matter of which He made, and formed, and ordered it, yet left something in it which He did not convert into good? |
| 3296 | Or, while we were saying this, should we not also be speaking in time? |
| 3296 | Or,"How came it into His mind to make any thing, having never before made any thing?" |
| 3296 | Rejoiceth he for that? |
| 3296 | Say, Lord, to me, Thy suppliant; say, all- pitying, to me, Thy pitiable one; say, did my infancy succeed another age of mine that died before it? |
| 3296 | See, I answer him that asketh,"What did God before He made heaven and earth?" |
| 3296 | See, it is no great matter now to obtain some station, and then what should we more wish for? |
| 3296 | Seeing then Thou art the Creator of all times, if any time was before Thou madest heaven and earth, why say they that Thou didst forego working? |
| 3296 | Shall I say that that is not in my memory, which I remember? |
| 3296 | Shall any be his own artificer? |
| 3296 | Shall compassion then be put away? |
| 3296 | Since, then, I too exist, why do I seek that Thou shouldest enter into me, who were not, wert Thou not in me? |
| 3296 | The cruelty of the great would fain be feared; but who is to be feared but God alone, out of whose power what can be wrested or withdrawn? |
| 3296 | The forenoons our scholars take up; what do we during the rest? |
| 3296 | The heaven of heavens are the Lord''s; but the earth hath He given to the children of men? |
| 3296 | The other, in banter, replied,"Do walls then make Christians?" |
| 3296 | Therefore I contend not in judgment with Thee; for if Thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall abide it? |
| 3296 | Therefore didst Thou command it to be written, that darkness was upon the face of the deep; what else than the absence of light? |
| 3296 | These be Thine own promises: and who need fear to be deceived, when the Truth promiseth? |
| 3296 | These things being safe and immovably settled in my mind, I sought anxiously"whence was evil?" |
| 3296 | This same time then, how do I measure? |
| 3296 | This then that He is said"never to have made"; what else is it to say, than"in''no time''to have made?" |
| 3296 | Those two times then, past and to come, how are they, seeing the past now is not, and that to come is not yet? |
| 3296 | Thou receivest over and above, that Thou mayest owe; and who hath aught that is not Thine? |
| 3296 | Thou then, Ruler of Thy creation, by what way dost Thou teach souls things to come? |
| 3296 | Thou, by whose gift she was such? |
| 3296 | Times passing, not past? |
| 3296 | To Thy grace I ascribe also whatsoever I have not done of evil; for what might I not have done, who even loved a sin for its own sake? |
| 3296 | To what end then would ye still and still walk these difficult and toilsome ways? |
| 3296 | To whom shall I speak this? |
| 3296 | To whom tell I this? |
| 3296 | To wish, namely, to be feared and loved of men, for no other end, but that we may have a joy therein which is no joy? |
| 3296 | Unto it speaks my faith which Thou hast kindled to enlighten my feet in the night, Why art thou sad, O my soul, and why dost thou trouble me? |
| 3296 | Was it for his own necessities, because he said, Ye sent unto my necessity? |
| 3296 | We hold the promise, who shall make it null? |
| 3296 | What am I then, O my God? |
| 3296 | What art Thou then, my God? |
| 3296 | What art Thou to me? |
| 3296 | What can be more, and yet what less like? |
| 3296 | What did all this further me, seeing it even hindered me? |
| 3296 | What diddest Thou then, my God, and how unsearchable is the abyss of Thy judgments? |
| 3296 | What evil have not been either my deeds, or if not my deeds, my words, or if not my words, my will? |
| 3296 | What glory, Lord? |
| 3296 | What greater madness can be said or thought of? |
| 3296 | What is it that attracts and wins us to the things we love? |
| 3296 | What is it to me, O my true life, my God, that my declamation was applauded above so many of my own age and class? |
| 3296 | What is it to me, though any comprehend not this? |
| 3296 | What is it which hath come into my mind to enquire, and discuss, and consider? |
| 3296 | What is its root, and what its seed? |
| 3296 | What is that which gleams through me, and strikes my heart without hurting it; and I shudder and kindle? |
| 3296 | What is this but a miserable madness? |
| 3296 | What is worthy of dispraise but vice? |
| 3296 | What is, in truth? |
| 3296 | What marvel that an unhappy sheep, straying from Thy flock, and impatient of Thy keeping, I became infected with a foul disease? |
| 3296 | What means this, O Lord my God, whereas Thou art everlastingly joy to Thyself, and some things around Thee evermore rejoice in Thee? |
| 3296 | What means this, that this portion of things thus ebbs and flows alternately displeased and reconciled? |
| 3296 | What middle place is there betwixt these two, where the life of man is not all trial? |
| 3296 | What nature am I? |
| 3296 | What said I not against myself? |
| 3296 | What sayest Thou to me? |
| 3296 | What shall I do then, O Thou my true life, my God? |
| 3296 | What shall I render unto the Lord, that, whilst my memory recalls these things, my soul is not affrighted at them? |
| 3296 | What shall wretched man do? |
| 3296 | What strength of ours, yea what ages would suffice for all Thy books in this manner? |
| 3296 | What then could they be more truly called than"Subverters"? |
| 3296 | What then did I love in that theft? |
| 3296 | What then did wretched I so love in thee, thou theft of mine, thou deed of darkness, in that sixteenth year of my age? |
| 3296 | What then do I confess unto Thee in this kind of temptation, O Lord? |
| 3296 | What then do I love, when I love my God? |
| 3296 | What then do I measure? |
| 3296 | What then if all give equal pleasure, and all at once? |
| 3296 | What then if one of us should deliberate, and amid the strife of his two wills be in a strait, whether he should go to the theatre or to our church? |
| 3296 | What then is it I measure? |
| 3296 | What then is the beautiful? |
| 3296 | What then is time? |
| 3296 | What then shall I say, O Truth my Light? |
| 3296 | What then takes place in the soul, when it is more delighted at finding or recovering the things it loves, than if it had ever had them? |
| 3296 | What then was my sin? |
| 3296 | What then was this feeling? |
| 3296 | What third way is there? |
| 3296 | What when we measure silence, and say that this silence hath held as long time as did that voice? |
| 3296 | What wilt thou answer me? |
| 3296 | What, but that I am delighted with praise, but with truth itself, more than with praise? |
| 3296 | What, if death itself cut off and end all care and feeling? |
| 3296 | What, when I name forgetfulness, and withal recognise what I name? |
| 3296 | What, when sitting at home, a lizard catching flies, or a spider entangling them rushing into her nets, oft- times takes my attention? |
| 3296 | When compose what we may sell to scholars? |
| 3296 | When refresh ourselves, unbending our minds from this intenseness of care? |
| 3296 | When shall I recall all which passed in those holy- days? |
| 3296 | When therefore will it be? |
| 3296 | When we shall all rise again, though we shall not all be changed? |
| 3296 | Whence and how entered these things into my memory? |
| 3296 | Whence and whither hast Thou thus led my remembrance, that I should confess these things also unto Thee? |
| 3296 | Whence could such a being be, save from Thee, Lord? |
| 3296 | Whence is evil? |
| 3296 | Whence is it then? |
| 3296 | Whence is this monstrousness? |
| 3296 | Whence is this monstrousness? |
| 3296 | Whence it seemed to me, that time is nothing else than protraction; but of what, I know not; and I marvel, if it be not of the mind itself? |
| 3296 | Whence then came I to will evil and nill good, so that I am thus justly punished? |
| 3296 | Whence then is sweet fruit gathered from the bitterness of life, from groaning, tears, sighs, and complaints? |
| 3296 | Whence then so many thorns, if the earth be fruitful? |
| 3296 | Whence this monstrousness? |
| 3296 | Whence was this, but that Thine ears were towards her heart? |
| 3296 | Whence, or when procure them? |
| 3296 | Where in the end do we search, but in the memory itself? |
| 3296 | Where is evil then, and whence, and how crept it in hither? |
| 3296 | Where is reason then, which, awake, resisteth such suggestions? |
| 3296 | Where is that heaven which we see not, to which all this which we see is earth? |
| 3296 | Where now are the impulses to such various and divers kinds of loves laid up in one soul? |
| 3296 | Where then and when did I experience my happy life, that I should remember, and love, and long for it? |
| 3296 | Where then did I find Thee, that I might learn Thee, but in Thee above me? |
| 3296 | Where then did I find Thee, that I might learn Thee? |
| 3296 | Where then did they know this happy life, save where they know the truth also? |
| 3296 | Where then is the time, which we may call long? |
| 3296 | Where then light was not, what was the presence of darkness, but the absence of light? |
| 3296 | Where then wert Thou then to me, and how far from me? |
| 3296 | Where then? |
| 3296 | Where was then that discreet old woman, and that her earnest countermanding? |
| 3296 | Whereat then rejoicest thou, O great Paul? |
| 3296 | Wherefore delay then to abandon worldly hopes, and give ourselves wholly to seek after God and the blessed life? |
| 3296 | Which images, how they are formed, who can tell, though it doth plainly appear by which sense each hath been brought in and stored up? |
| 3296 | Which of us comprehendeth the Almighty Trinity? |
| 3296 | Which way, but through the present? |
| 3296 | Whither do I call Thee, since I am in Thee? |
| 3296 | Whither go ye in rough ways? |
| 3296 | Whither go ye? |
| 3296 | Whither not follow myself? |
| 3296 | Whither should I flee from myself? |
| 3296 | Who am I, and what am I? |
| 3296 | Who can disentangle that twisted and intricate knottiness? |
| 3296 | Who can even in thought comprehend it, so as to utter a word about it? |
| 3296 | Who can readily and briefly explain this? |
| 3296 | Who can recount all Thy praises, which he hath felt in his one self? |
| 3296 | Who can understand his errors? |
| 3296 | Who declare it? |
| 3296 | Who gathered the embittered together into one society? |
| 3296 | Who knows not this? |
| 3296 | Who now shall search out this? |
| 3296 | Who now teacheth us, but the unchangeable Truth? |
| 3296 | Who remindeth me of the sins of my infancy? |
| 3296 | Who remindeth me? |
| 3296 | Who repay Him the price wherewith He bought us, and so take us from Him? |
| 3296 | Who shall comprehend? |
| 3296 | Who shall restore to Him the innocent blood? |
| 3296 | Who shall stand against thee? |
| 3296 | Who then should deliver me thus wretched from the body of this death, but Thy grace only, through Jesus Christ our Lord? |
| 3296 | Who therefore denieth, that things to come are not as yet? |
| 3296 | Who will say so? |
| 3296 | Who wishes for troubles and difficulties? |
| 3296 | Who, Lord, but Thou, saidst, Let the waters be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear, which thirsteth after Thee? |
| 3296 | Whom could I find to reconcile me to Thee? |
| 3296 | Whom shall I enquire of concerning these things? |
| 3296 | Whom so soon as Alypius remembered, he told the architect: and he showing the hatchet to the boy, asked him"Whose that was?" |
| 3296 | Why am I more stung by reproach cast upon myself, than at that cast upon another, with the same injustice, before me? |
| 3296 | Why is it, that man desires to be made sad, beholding doleful and tragical things, which yet himself would no means suffer? |
| 3296 | Why not now? |
| 3296 | Why not this? |
| 3296 | Why say more? |
| 3296 | Why seek they to hear from me what I am; who will not hear from Thee what themselves are? |
| 3296 | Why should he trouble me, as if I could enlighten any man that cometh into this world? |
| 3296 | Why so then? |
| 3296 | Why standest thou in thyself, and so standest not? |
| 3296 | Why that? |
| 3296 | Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh? |
| 3296 | Why then did I hate the Greek classics, which have the like tales? |
| 3296 | Why then do I lay in order before Thee so many relations? |
| 3296 | Why then does not the disputer, thus recollecting, taste in the mouth of his musing the sweetness of joy, or the bitterness of sorrow? |
| 3296 | Why then fear we and avoid what is not? |
| 3296 | Why then is this said of Thy Spirit only, why is it said only of Him? |
| 3296 | Why then joy they not in it? |
| 3296 | Why then was my delight of such sort that I did it not alone? |
| 3296 | Why, I beseech Thee, O Lord my God? |
| 3296 | Why, since we are equally men, do I love in another what, if I did not hate, I should not spurn and cast from myself? |
| 3296 | Why? |
| 3296 | Wilt Thou hold Thy peace for ever? |
| 3296 | Would any commit murder upon no cause, delighted simply in murdering? |
| 3296 | Would aught avail against a secret disease, if Thy healing hand, O Lord, watched not over us? |
| 3296 | Yea, and if I knew this also, should I know it from him? |
| 3296 | Yea, sloth would fain be at rest; but what stable rest besides the Lord? |
| 3296 | Yet what do we measure, if not time in some space? |
| 3296 | and all at once the same part? |
| 3296 | and by how many perils arrive we at a greater peril? |
| 3296 | and dare I say that Thou heldest Thy peace, O my God, while I wandered further from Thee? |
| 3296 | and from that moment shall not this or that be lawful for thee for ever?" |
| 3296 | and from that moment shall we no more be with thee for ever? |
| 3296 | and in this, what is there not brittle, and full of perils? |
| 3296 | and shall we not rather suffer the punishment of this negligence? |
| 3296 | and to pray for me, when they shall hear how much I am held back by my own weight? |
| 3296 | and to what end? |
| 3296 | and to what end? |
| 3296 | and to what end? |
| 3296 | and was there nothing else whereon to exercise my wit and tongue? |
| 3296 | and what Thy days, but Thy eternity, as Thy years which fail not, because Thou art ever the same? |
| 3296 | and what before that life again, O God my joy, was I any where or any body? |
| 3296 | and what else did he who beat me? |
| 3296 | and what is beauty? |
| 3296 | and what room is there within me, whither my God can come into me? |
| 3296 | and what the engine of Thy so mighty fabric? |
| 3296 | and when arrive we thither? |
| 3296 | and where shall we learn what here we have neglected? |
| 3296 | and wherein did I even corruptly and pervertedly imitate my Lord? |
| 3296 | and who knoweth and saith,"It is false,"unless himself lieth? |
| 3296 | and yet which speaks not of It, if indeed it be It? |
| 3296 | and, again, to know Thee or to call on Thee? |
| 3296 | bitterly to resent, that persons free, and its own elders, yea, the very authors of its birth, served it not? |
| 3296 | but how shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? |
| 3296 | but no space, we do not measure: or in the past, to which it passes? |
| 3296 | by what prayers? |
| 3296 | by what sacraments? |
| 3296 | could I like what I might not, only because I might not? |
| 3296 | do then heaven and earth, which Thou hast made, and wherein Thou hast made me, contain Thee? |
| 3296 | do we by a shorter time measure a longer, as by the space of a cubit, the space of a rood? |
| 3296 | doth not each little infant, in whom I see what of myself I remember not? |
| 3296 | for of that I have heard somewhat, and have myself seen women with child? |
| 3296 | for who can call on Thee, not knowing Thee? |
| 3296 | from whom borrow them? |
| 3296 | how didst Thou cure her? |
| 3296 | how heal her? |
| 3296 | how long roll the sons of Eve into that huge and hideous ocean, which even they scarcely overpass who climb the cross? |
| 3296 | how long shalt thou not be dried up? |
| 3296 | how long, Lord, wilt Thou be angry for ever? |
| 3296 | how speak it? |
| 3296 | how speak of the weight of evil desires, downwards to the steep abyss; and how charity raises up again by Thy Spirit which was borne above the waters? |
| 3296 | how then doth it not comprehend itself? |
| 3296 | how, O God, didst Thou make heaven and earth? |
| 3296 | if she now seeks of Thee one thing, and desireth it, that she may dwell in Thy house all the days of her life( and what is her life, but Thou? |
| 3296 | in those things, of the remembrance whereof I am now ashamed? |
| 3296 | is it lulled asleep with the senses of the body? |
| 3296 | is not a happy life what all will, and no one altogether wills it not? |
| 3296 | is not all this smoke and wind? |
| 3296 | is there, indeed, O Lord my God, aught in me that can contain Thee? |
| 3296 | of what kind it is?" |
| 3296 | or can there elsewhere be derived any vein, which may stream essence and life into us, save from thee, O Lord, in whom essence and life are one? |
| 3296 | or can they either in themselves, and not rather in the Lord their God? |
| 3296 | or dost Thou fill them and yet overflow, since they do not contain Thee? |
| 3296 | or dost Thou see in time, what passeth in time? |
| 3296 | or each its own part, the greater more, the smaller less? |
| 3296 | or good to discourse on the Gospel? |
| 3296 | or good to take pleasure in a sober Psalm? |
| 3296 | or hast Thou no need that aught contain Thee, who containest all things, since what Thou fillest Thou fillest by containing it? |
| 3296 | or how have they disgraced Thy government, which, from the heaven to this lowest earth, is just and perfect? |
| 3296 | or how shall they believe without a preacher? |
| 3296 | or how should they pass by, if they never were? |
| 3296 | or how that past increased, which is now no longer, save that in the mind which enacteth this, there be three things done? |

| 3296 | or what times should there be, which were not made by Thee? |
| 3296 | or when should these books teach me it? |

| 3296 | that many besides, wiser than it, obeyed not the nod of its good pleasure? |
| 3296 | that period I pass by; and what have I now to do with that, of which I can recall no vestige? |
| 3296 | to do its best to strike and hurt, because commands were not obeyed, which had been obeyed to its hurt? |
| 3296 | to whom shall I speak it? |
| 3296 | was I to have recourse to Angels? |
| 3296 | was it for my good that the rein was laid loose, as it were, upon me, for me to sin? |
| 3296 | was it that I hung upon the breast and cried? |
| 3296 | was it that which I spent within my mother''s womb? |
| 3296 | what aim we at? |
| 3296 | what heardest thou? |
| 3296 | what it is? |
| 3296 | what manner of lodging hast Thou framed for Thee? |
| 3296 | what manner of sanctuary hast Thou builded for Thee? |
| 3296 | what serve we for? |
| 3296 | what, but the Lord God? |

| 3296 | where seen it, that they so love it? |
| 3296 | where the long which I measure? |
| 3296 | whereat rejoicest thou? |
| 3296 | which because it can not be without passion, for this reason alone are passions loved? |

| 3296 | whither cry? |
| 3296 | whither flows it? |
| 3296 | whither, but into the past? |
| 3296 | who can teach me, save He that enlighteneth my heart, and discovereth its dark corners? |

| 3296 | who is He above the head of my soul? |
| 3296 | who set this in me, and ingrafted into me this plant of bitterness, seeing I was wholly formed by my most sweet God? |
| 3296 | who shall comprehend how it is? |
| 3296 | who would believe it? |
| 3296 | who would, any way, pronounce thereon rashly? |
| 3296 | who, if worsted in some trifling discussion with his fellow- tutor, was more embittered and jealous than I when beaten at ball by a play- fellow? |
