1051	Or how, without Clothes, could we possess the master- organ, soul''s seat, and true pineal gland of the Body Social: I mean, a PURSE?"
1051	Or is the God present, felt in my own heart, a thing which Herr von Voltaire will dispute out of me; or dispute into me?
1051	Or is this merely one of his half- sophisms, half- truisms, which if he can but set on the back of a Figure, he cares not whither it gallop?
1051	Or was there something of intended satire; is the Professor and Seer not quite the blinkard he affects to be?
1051	Or, cries the courteous reader, has your Teufelsdrockh forgotten what he said lately about"Aboriginal Savages,"and their"condition miserable indeed"?
1051	Or, on the other hand, what is there that we can not love; since all was created by God?
1051	Perhaps also in the following; wherewith we now hasten to knit up this ravelled sleeve:--"But there is no Religion?"
1051	Plummet''s?
1051	Remarkable, moreover, is this saying of his:"How were Friendship possible?
1051	Rest?
1051	Said I not, Before the old skin was shed, the new had formed itself beneath it?"
1051	Say it in a word: is it not because thou art not HAPPY?
1051	Seems it not at least presumable, that, under his Clothes, the Tailor has bones and viscera, and other muscles than the sartorius?
1051	Seldom reflecting that still the new question comes upon us: What is Madness, what are Nerves?
1051	Shall I not have all Eternity to rest in?''
1051	Some one''s doing, it without doubt was; from some Idea, in some single Head, it did first of all take beginning: why not from some Idea in mine?"
1051	Spake we not of a Communion of Saints, unseen, yet not unreal, accompanying and brother- like embracing thee, so thou be worthy?
1051	Stands he not thereby in the centre of Immensities, in the conflux of Eternities?
1051	Sure enough, I am; and lately was not: but Whence?
1051	Than which paragraph on Metaphors did the reader ever chance to see a more surprisingly metaphorical?
1051	That living flood, pouring through these streets, of all qualities and ages, knowest thou whence it is coming, whither it is going?
1051	The Overseer(_ Episcopus_) of Souls, I notice, has tucked in the corner of it, as if his day''s work were done: what does he shadow forth thereby?"
1051	The first ground handful of Nitre, Sulphur, and Charcoal drove Monk Schwartz''s pestle through the ceiling: what will the last do?
1051	The stirring of a child''s finger brings the two together; and then-- What then?
1051	The thunder- struck Air- sailor is not wanting to himself in this dread hour: but what avails it?
1051	The voice of Prophecy has gone dumb?
1051	The withered leaf is not dead and lost, there are Forces in it and around it, though working in inverse order; else how could it rot?
1051	Then, have we not a Doctrine of Rent, a Theory of Value; Philosophies of Language, of History, of Pottery, of Apparitions, of Intoxicating Liquors?
1051	There are not wanting men who will answer: Does your Professor take us for simpletons?
1051	Therefrom he preaches what most momentous doctrine is in him, for man''s salvation; and dost not thou listen, and believe?
1051	These Limbs, whence had we them; this stormy Force; this life- blood with its burning Passion?
1051	These are Apparitions: what else?
1051	Thinkest thou there is aught motionless; without Force, and utterly dead?
1051	This is even what I dispute: but in any case, hast thou not still Preaching enough?
1051	Thou art still Nothing, Nobody: true; but who, then, is Something, Somebody?
1051	Thou foolish Teufelsdrockh How could it else?
1051	Thou foolish"absolved Auscultator,"before whom lies no prospect of capital, will any yet known"religion of young hearts"keep the human kitchen warm?
1051	Thou hast no Tools?
1051	Thou thyself, wert thou not born, wilt thou not die?
1051	Thus has not the Editor himself, working over Teufelsdrockh''s German, lost much of his own English purity?
1051	Thus, were it not miraculous, could I stretch forth my hand and clutch the Sun?
1051	Thy very Hatred, thy very Envy, those foolish Lies thou tellest of me in thy splenetic humor: what is all this but an inverted Sympathy?
1051	To the eye of Pure Reason what is he?
1051	To the''_ Worship of Sorrow_''ascribe what origin and genesis thou pleasest,_ has_ not that Worship originated, and been generated; is it not_ here_?
1051	Unhappy Teufelsdrockh, had man ever such a"physical or psychical infirmity"before?
1051	Want, want!--Ha, of what?
1051	Was Luther''s Picture of the Devil less a Reality, whether it were formed within the bodily eye, or without it?
1051	Was Teufelsdrockh also a fringe, of lace or cobweb; or promising to be such?
1051	Was her real name Flora, then?
1051	Was it by the humid vehicle of_ AEsthetic Tea_, or by the arid one of mere Business?
1051	Was it not the still higher Orpheus, or Orpheuses, who, in past centuries, by the divine Music of Wisdom, succeeded in civilizing Man?
1051	Was she not to him in very deed a Morning- star; did not her presence bring with it airs from Heaven?
1051	Was the attraction, the agitation mutual, then; pole and pole trembling towards contact, when once brought into neighborhood?
1051	Was there so much as a fault, a''caprice,''he could have dispensed with?
1051	We ask in turn: Why perplex these times, profane as they are, with needless obscurity, by omission and by commission?
1051	We figure to ourselves, how in those days he may have played strange freaks with his independence, and so forth: do not his own words betoken as much?
1051	Were I a Steam- engine, wouldst thou take the trouble to tell lies of me?
1051	Were thy three broad Highways, meeting here from the ends of Europe, made for Ammunition- wagons, then?
1051	What Act of Legislature was there that_ thou_ shouldst be Happy?
1051	What English intellect could have chosen such a topic, or by chance stumbled on it?
1051	What are all your national Wars, with their Moscow Retreats, and sanguinary hate- filled Revolutions, but the Somnambulism of uneasy Sleepers?
1051	What are your Axioms, and Categories, and Systems, and Aphorisms?
1051	What argument will avail?
1051	What cares the world for our as yet miniature Philosopher''s achievements under that"brave old Linden"?
1051	What henceforth becomes of the brave Herr Towgood, or Toughgut?
1051	What is the use of health, or of life, if not to do some work therewith?
1051	What make ye of your Christianities, and Chivalries, and Reformations, and Marseillaise Hymns, and Reigns of Terror?
1051	What then?
1051	What, for example, are we to make of such sentences as the following?
1051	What, for instance, was in that clouted Shoe, which the Peasants bore aloft with them as ensign in their_ Bauernkrieg_( Peasants''War)?
1051	What, then, was our Professor''s possession?
1051	Whence, then, their so unspeakable difference?
1051	Where, then, is that same cunningly devised almighty GOVERNMENT of theirs to be laid hands on?
1051	Wherefore, like a coward, dost thou forever pip and whimper, and go cowering and trembling?
1051	Wherein consists the usefulness of this Apron?
1051	Whereto?
1051	Whereupon the Professor publishes this reflection:--"By what strange chances do we live in History?
1051	Which function of manhood is the Tailor not conjectured to perform?
1051	Whither should I go?
1051	Who can refrain from a smile at the yoking together of such a pair of appellatives as Diogenes Teufelsdrockh?
1051	Who ever saw any Lord my- lorded in tattered blanket fastened with wooden skewer?
1051	Who is there now that can read the five columns of Presentations in his Morning Newspaper without a shudder?
1051	Whom I answer by this new question: What are the Laws of Nature?
1051	Why can not he lay aside his pedantry, and write so as to make himself generally intelligible?
1051	Why mention our disquisitions on the Social Contract, on the Standard of Taste, on the Migrations of the Herring?
1051	Why not; what binds me here?
1051	Why of Shakspeare, in his_ Taming of the Shrew_, and elsewhere?
1051	Why should I speak of Hans Sachs( himself a Shoemaker, or kind of Leather- Tailor), with his_ Schneider mit dem Panier_?
1051	Why was the Living banished thither companionless, conscious?
1051	Why, if there is no Devil; nay, unless the Devil is your God?"
1051	Will Majesty lay aside its robes of state, and Beauty its frills and train- gowns, for a second skin of tanned hide?
1051	Will all the shoe- wages under the Moon ferry me across into that far Land of Light?
1051	Will the whole Finance Ministers and Upholsterers and Confectioners of modern Europe undertake, in joint- stock company, to make one Shoeblack HAPPY?
1051	Wilt thou know a Man, above all a Mankind, by stringing together bead- rolls of what thou namest Facts?
1051	Would he have all this unsaid; and us betake ourselves again to the"matted cloak,"and go sheeted in a"thick natural fell"?
1051	Writings of mine, not indeed known as mine( for what am I?
1051	Yes, long ago has many a British Reader been, as now, demanding with something like a snarl: Whereto does all this lead; or what use is in it?
1051	_ Is_ the work a translation?"
1051	_ Wo steckt doch der Schalk_?
1051	a little while ago, and he was yet in all darkness: him what Graceful(_ Holde_) would ever love?
1051	and calls it Peace, because, in the cut- purse and cut- throat Scramble, no steel knives, but only a far cunninger sort, can be employed?
1051	cries an illuminated class:''Is not the Machine of the Universe fixed to move by unalterable rules?''
1051	exclaims Teufelsdrockh,"Have we not all to be tried with such?
1051	how could he hope it; should he not have died under it?
1051	how did he comport himself when in Love?
1051	how should they so much as once meet together?
1051	thou hast no faculty in that kind?
1051	what are these to Clothes and the Tailor''s Goose?
1051	what is the sum- total of the worst that lies before thee?
1051	what is this paltry little Dog- cage of an Earth; what art thou that sittest whining there?
1051	why do I not name thee GOD?
1051	why journeyest thou wearisomely, in thy antiquarian fervor, to gaze on the stone pyramids of Geeza, or the clay ones of Sacchara?
20585	Have you hope?
20585	She looks on thee,cried he:"she the fairest, noblest; do not her dark eyes tell thee, thou art not despised?
20585	To which of these Three Religions do you specially adhere?
20585	What do I see?
20585	Which is the great secret?
20585	Why talk and complain; above all, why quarrel with one another? 20585 Wuotan?"
20585	& c.& c. Or again, has it often been the lot of our readers to read such stuff as we shall now quote?
20585	''"But is it not the deepest Law of Nature that she be constant?"
20585	''"But is not a real Miracle simply a violation of the Laws of Nature?"
20585	''Again, could anything be more miraculous than an actual authentic Ghost?
20585	''And yet, O Man born of Woman,''cries the Autobiographer, with one of his sudden whirls,''wherein is my case peculiar?
20585	''But if such things,''continues he,''were done in the dry tree, what will be done in the green?
20585	''But thou as yet standest in no Temple; joinest in no Psalm- worship; feelest well that, where there is no ministering Priest, the people perish?
20585	''But what boots it(_ was thut''s_)?''
20585	''Detect quacks''?
20585	''Do we not see a little subdivision of the grand Utilitarian Armament come to light even in insulated England?
20585	''For whether thou bear a sceptre or a sledgehammer, art thou not ALIVE; is not this thy brother ALIVE?
20585	''Gain influence''?
20585	''Great practical method and expertness''he may brag of; but is there not also great practical pride, though deep- hidden, only the deeper- seated?
20585	''How I lived?''
20585	''Hypocrisy''?
20585	''I asked myself: What is this that, ever since earliest years, thou hast been fretting and fuming, and lamenting and self- tormenting, on account of?
20585	''Is not Belief the true god- announcing Miracle?''
20585	''Meanwhile what are antiquated Mythuses to me?
20585	''Nevertheless, need I put the question to any Physiologist, whether it is disputable or not?
20585	''Of great Scenes why speak?
20585	''Or thinkest thou it were impossible, unimaginable?
20585	''There is not a leaf rotting on the highway but has Force in it: how else could it rot?''
20585	''To the eye of vulgar Logic,''says he,''what is man?
20585	''Were it not wonderful, for instance, had Orpheus, or Amphion, built the walls of Thebes by the mere sound of his Lyre?
20585	''What, for example,''says he,''is the universally- arrogated Virtue, almost the sole remaining Catholic Virtue, of these days?
20585	''What, speaking in quite unofficial language, is the net- purport and upshot of war?
20585	''Who am I; what is this ME?
20585	--He went out for the last time into the mosque, two days before his death; asked, If he had injured any man?
20585	A Voice, a Motion, an Appearance;--some embodied, visualised Idea in the Eternal Mind?
20585	A false man found a religion?
20585	A humble, solitary man, why should he at all meddle with the world?
20585	A man embraces truth with his eyes open, and because his eyes are open: does he need to shut them before he can love his Teacher of truth?
20585	A man that devotes his life to learning, shall he not be learned?
20585	A mean man he, how shall he reform a world?
20585	A new Adamite, in this century, which flatters itself that it is the Nineteenth, and destructive both to Superstition and Enthusiasm?
20585	A_ great_ man?
20585	Accordingly all persons, from the Queen Antoinette to the Douanier at the Porte St. Denis, do they not worship him?
20585	Again Thor struck, so soon as Skrymir again slept; a better blow than before: but the Giant only murmured, Was that a grain of sand?
20585	Again, leaving that wondrous Schwarzwald Smithy- Altar, what vacant, high- sailing air- ships are these, and whither will they sail with us?
20585	Again, what Cookery does the Greenlander use, beyond stowing- up his whale- blubber, as a marmot, in the like case, might do?
20585	Again, what may the unchristian rather than Christian"Diogenes"mean?
20585	Again,_ Nothing can act but where it is_: with all my heart; only, WHERE is it?
20585	Ah, does not every true man feel that he is himself made higher by doing reverence to what is really above him?
20585	Alas, is not this the history of all highest Truth that comes or ever came into the world?
20585	Alas, was not his doom stern enough?
20585	Alas, yes;--but as Cato said of the statue: So many statues in that Forum of yours, may it not be better if they ask, Where is Cato''s statue?"
20585	All crowns and sovereignties whatsoever, where would_ they_ in a few brief years be?
20585	Am I a botched mass of tailors''and cobblers''shreds, then; or a tightly- articulated, homogeneous little Figure, automatic, nay alive?
20585	Am I to view the Stupendous with stupid indifference, because I have seen it twice, or two- hundred, or two- million times?
20585	An unmetaphorical style you shall in vain seek for: is not your very_ Attention_ a_ Stretching- to_?
20585	And accordingly was there not what we can call a_ faith_ in him, genuine so far as it went?
20585	And did he not interpret the dim purport of it well?
20585	And if_ true_, was it not then the very thing to do?
20585	And indeed may we not say that intellect altogether expresses itself in this power of discerning what an object is?
20585	And knowest thou no Prophet, even in the vesture, environment, and dialect of this age?
20585	And now does the Spiritual, eternal Essence of Man, and of Mankind, bared of such wrappages, begin in any measure to reveal itself?
20585	And now in this sense, one may ask, Is not all worship whatsoever a worship by Symbols, by_ eidola_, or things seen?
20585	And now of you, too, I make the old inquiry: What those same unalterable rules, forming the complete Statute- Book of Nature, may possibly be?
20585	And now still, what hinders it from being the name of a Heroic Man and_ Mover_, as well as of a god?
20585	And now, for all this perennial Martyrdom, and Poesy, and even Prophecy, what is it that the Dandy asks in return?
20585	And then the''honour''?
20585	And then?
20585	And thereupon the unbelievers sneer and ask, Is this your man according to God''s own heart?
20585	And we call it''dissimulation,''all this?
20585	And what therefore is loyalty proper, the life- breath of all society, but an effluence of Hero- worship, submissive admiration for the truly great?
20585	And who are you that prate of Constitutional Formulas, rights of Parliament?
20585	And yet what were all Emperors, Popes and Potentates, in comparison?
20585	And yet withal this hypochondria, what was it but the very greatness of the man?
20585	And yet, thou brave Teufelsdröckh, who could tell what lurked in thee?
20585	Answer it;_ thou_ must find an answer.--Ambition?
20585	Are not all dialects''artificial''?
20585	Are not our Bodies and our Souls in continual movement, whether we will or not; in a continual Waste, requiring a continual Repair?
20585	Are not you yourselves there?
20585	Are they base, miserable things?
20585	Are they not Souls rendered visible: in Bodies, that took shape and will lose it, melting into air?
20585	Are we not Spirits, that are shaped into a body, into an Appearance; and that fade- away again into air and Invisibility?
20585	Are we returning, as Rousseau prayed, to the state of Nature?
20585	Are we to suppose that it was a miserable piece of spiritual legerdemain, this which so many creatures of the Almighty have lived by and died by?
20585	Art not thou the"Living Garment of God"?
20585	Art thou not tired, and beaten with stripes, even as I am?
20585	Art thou the malignest of Sansculottists, or only the maddest?
20585	As for the Old Woman, she was_ Time_, Old Age, Duration; with her what can wrestle?
20585	Ask now, What Paganism could have been?
20585	At a small cost men are educated to make leather into shoes; but at a great cost, what am I educated to make?
20585	Ay, what?
20585	Bad methods: but are they so much worse than our methods,--of understanding him to be always the eldest born of a certain genealogy?
20585	Ballot- boxes, suffrages, French Revolutions:--if we are as Valets, and do not know the Hero when we see him, what good are all these?
20585	Because the THOU( sweet gentleman) is not sufficiently honoured, nourished, soft- bedded, and lovingly cared for?
20585	Begging is not in our course at the present time: but for the rest of it, who will say that a Johnson is not perhaps the better for being poor?
20585	Besides, of what profit were it?
20585	Bright, nimble creatures, who taught_ you_ the mason- craft; nay, stranger still, gave you a masonic incorporation, almost social police?
20585	But alas, what help now?
20585	But call it worship, call it what you will, is it not a right glorious thing, and set of things, this that Shakspeare has brought us?
20585	But how came''the Wanderer''into her circle?
20585	But how shall we blame_ him_ for struggling to realise it?
20585	But how was this to be done?
20585	But if you ask, Which is the worst?
20585	But indeed that strange outbudding of our whole English Existence, which we call the Elizabethan Era, did not it too come as of its own accord?
20585	But is not this same looking through the Shows, or Vestures, into the Things, even the first preliminary to a_ Philosophy of Clothes_?
20585	But nobler than all in this kind, are the Lives of heroic god- inspired Men; for what other Work of Art is so divine?
20585	But now, intrinsically, is not all this the inevitable fortune, not of a false man in such times, but simply of a superior man?
20585	But what does the writer mean by''Baphometic fire- baptism''?
20585	But what next?
20585	But what of the awestruck Wakeful who find it a Reality?
20585	But what then?
20585	But what then?
20585	But what was her surname, or had she none?
20585	But whence?--O Heaven, whither?
20585	But why,''says the Hofrath, and indeed say we,''do I dilate on the uses of our Teufelsdröckh''s Biography?
20585	But would it be a kindness always, is it a duty always or often, to disturb them in that?
20585	But, alas, what vehicle of that sort have we, except_ Fraser''s Magazine_?
20585	By way of proem, take the following not injudicious remarks:''The benignant efficacies of Concealment,''cries our Professor,''who shall speak or sing?
20585	By which last wiredrawn similitude does Teufelsdröckh mean no more than that young men find obstacles in what we call''getting under way''?
20585	Can I choose my own King?
20585	Can a Tartar be said to cook, when he only readies his steak by riding on it?
20585	Can any Sovereign, or Holy Alliance of Sovereigns, bid Time stand still; even in thought, shake themselves free of Time?
20585	Can he not arrest for debt?
20585	Can not a man do without King''s Coaches and Cloaks?
20585	Can not we conceive that Odin was a reality?
20585	Can not we understand how these men_ worshipped_ Canopus; became what we call Sabeans, worshipping the stars?
20585	Can the man say,_ Fiat lux_, Let there be light; and out of chaos make a world?
20585	Can we not understand him?
20585	Come there not tones of Love and Faith, as from celestial harp- strings, like the Song of beautified Souls?
20585	Compared with any speaker or singer one knows, even with Æschylus or Homer, why should he not, for veracity and universality, last like them?
20585	Could she have driven so much as a brass- bound Gig, or even a simple iron- spring one?
20585	Creative, we said: poetic creation, what is this too but_ seeing_ the thing sufficiently?
20585	Death?
20585	Did Hero- worship fail in Knox''s case?
20585	Did he never stand so much as a contested Election?
20585	Did he not, in spite of all, accomplish much for us?
20585	Did not the Boy Alexander weep because he had not two Planets to conquer; or a whole Solar System; or after that, a whole Universe?
20585	Did that reverend Basket- bearer intend, by such designation, to shadow- forth my future destiny, or his own present malign humour?
20585	Did the Westminster Confession of Faith add some new property to the soul of man?
20585	Do not Books still accomplish_ miracles_ as_ Runes_ were fabled to do?
20585	Do not we feel it so?
20585	Do our readers discern any such corner- stone, or even so much as what Teufelsdröckh is looking at?
20585	Do we not see well enough how the Fable might arise, without unveracity on the part of any one?
20585	Does Legion still lurk in him, though repressed; or has he exorcised that Devil''s Brood?
20585	Does any reader''in the interior parts of England''know of such a man?
20585	Does like join itself to like; does the spirit of method stir in that confusion, so that its embroilment becomes order?
20585	Does not the following glimpse exhibit him in a much more natural state?
20585	Dost thou, does man, so much as well know the Alphabet thereof?
20585	Each one of us here, let the world go how it will, and be victorious or not victorious, has he not a Life of his own to lead?
20585	Effect?
20585	England, Scotland, Ireland, all lying now subdued at the feet of the Puritan Parliament, the practical question arose, What was to be done with it?
20585	Ever the constitutional Formula: How came_ you_ there?
20585	Every such man is the born enemy of Disorder; hates to be in it: but what then?
20585	Fame, ambition, place in History?
20585	Faults?
20585	For Matter, were it never so despicable, is Spirit, the manifestation of Spirit: were it never so honourable, can it be more?
20585	For have not I too a compact all- enclosing Skin, whiter or dingier?
20585	For is not a Symbol ever, to him who has eyes for it, some dimmer or clearer revelation of the Godlike?
20585	For our honour among foreign nations, as an ornament to our English Household, what item is there that we would not surrender rather than him?
20585	For this world, and for all worlds, what curse is so fatal?
20585	For what is it properly but an Altercation with the Devil, before you begin honestly Fighting him?
20585	For which reason it was to be altered, not without underhand satire, into a plainer Symbol?
20585	For which, as for other mercies, ought not he to thank the Upper Powers?
20585	Forger and juggler?
20585	From of old, a thousand thoughts, in his pilgrimings and wanderings, had been in this man: What am I?
20585	From of old, was there not in his life a weight of meaning, a terror and a splendour as of Heaven itself?
20585	From which is it not clear that the internal Satanic School was still active enough?
20585	Given your Hero, is he to become Conqueror, King, Philosopher, Poet?
20585	God has made many revelations: but this man too, has not God made him, the latest and newest of all?
20585	Had Teufelsdröckh also a father and mother; did he, at one time, wear drivel- bibs, and live on spoon- meat?
20585	Had not my first, last Faith in myself, when even to me the Heavens seemed laid open, and I dared to love, been all- too cruelly belied?
20585	Had these men any quarrel?
20585	Hadst thou not Greek enough to understand thus much:_ The end of Man is an Action, and not a Thought_, though it were the noblest?
20585	Hadst thou, any more than I, a Father whom thou knowest?
20585	Has he not solved for them the sphinx- enigma of this Universe; given assurance to them of their own destiny there?
20585	Has he not the power of articulate Thinking; and many other powers, as yet miraculous?
20585	Has it not_ been_, in this world, as a practised fact?
20585	Has not each man a soul?
20585	Hast thou not a Brain, furnished, furnishable with some glimmerings of Light; and three fingers to hold a Pen withal?
20585	Hast thou well considered all that lies in this immeasurable froth- ocean we name LITERATURE?
20585	Have any deepest scientific individuals yet dived- down to the foundations of the Universe, and gauged everything there?
20585	Have we not seen him disappointed, bemocked of Destiny, through long years?
20585	He asked of the Parliament, What it was they would decide upon?
20585	He can say to himself:''Tools?
20585	He courts no notice: what could notice here do for him?
20585	He exclaims,''Or hast thou forgotten Paris and Voltaire?
20585	He has the power of holding his peace over many things which do not vitally concern him,--"They?
20585	He is the fatal man; unutterably fatal, put in the high places of men.--"Why complain of this?"
20585	He was a great_ ébauche_, a rude- draught never completed; as indeed what great man is other?
20585	He was a weak child, they told him; could he lift that Cat he saw there?
20585	Hear in what earnest though fantastic wise he expresses himself on this head:''Shall Courtesy be done only to the rich, and only by the rich?
20585	Here, looking round, as was our hest, for''organic filaments,''we ask, may not this, touching''Hero- worship,''be of the number?
20585	Hero- worship,--Odin, Burns?
20585	Hero- worship?
20585	His love of Music, indeed, is not this, as it were, the summary of all these affections in him?
20585	His scorn, his grief are as transcendent as his love;--as indeed, what are they but the_ inverse_ or_ converse_ of his love?
20585	Homer yet_ is_, veritably present face to face with every open soul of us; and Greece, where is_ it_?
20585	Hot weather?
20585	How came he not to study his words a little, before flinging them out to the public?
20585	How came it that the Wanderer advanced thither with such forecasting heart(_ ahndungsvoll_), by the side of his gay host?
20585	How came it to evaporate, and not lie motionless?
20585	How can a man act heroically?
20585	How could a man travel forward from rustic deer- poaching to such tragedy- writing, and not fall- in with sorrows by the way?
20585	How could he?
20585	How could it else?
20585	How could the rude Earth make these, if her Essence, rugged as she looks and is, were not inwardly Beauty?
20585	How from such inorganic masses, henceforth madder than ever, as lie in these Bags, can even fragments of a living delineation be organised?
20585	How happens it that no intelligence about the matter has come out directly to this country?
20585	How is this; or what make ye of your_ Nothing can act but where it is_?
20585	How much does one of us foresee of his own life?
20585	How shall he stand otherwise?
20585	How shall_ he_ give kindling, in whose own inward man there is no live coal, but all is burnt- out to a dead grammatical cinder?
20585	How then could I believe in my Strength, when there was as yet no mirror to see it in?
20585	How then?
20585	How thou fermentest and elaboratest, in thy great fermenting- vat and laboratory of an Atmosphere, of a World, O Nature!--Or what is Nature?
20585	How to regulate that struggle?
20585	How was it, what was it?
20585	How was this?
20585	How will you govern these Nations, which Providence in a wondrous way has given- up to your disposal?
20585	How?
20585	However, that is not our chief grievance; the Professor continues:''Why multiply instances?
20585	Hypocrite, mummer, the life of him a mere theatricality; empty barren quack, hungry for the shouts of mobs?
20585	I do not assert Mahomet''s continual sincerity: who is continually sincere?
20585	I said that Imagination wove this Flesh- Garment; and does not she?
20585	I?
20585	If Hero mean_ sincere man_, why may not every one of us be a Hero?
20585	If he loved his Disenchantress?
20585	If he owed any man?
20585	If it prove otherwise, why should he murmur?
20585	If our era is the Era of Unbelief, why murmur under it; is there not a better coming, nay come?
20585	If so, what are those_ Prize- Questions_; what are the terms of Competition, and when and where?
20585	In Death too, in the Death of the Just, as the last perfection of a Work of Art, may we not discern symbolic meaning?
20585	In Pagan countries, can not one write Fetishes?
20585	In all that respects openness of Sense, affectionate Temper, ingenuous Curiosity, and the fostering of these, what more could I have wished?
20585	In all this what''hypocrisy,''''ambition,''''ca nt,''or other falsity?
20585	In fact, if a man have any purpose reaching beyond the hour and day, meant to be found extant_ next_ day, what good can it ever be to promulgate lies?
20585	In like manner, ask me not, Where are the LAWS; where is the GOVERNMENT?
20585	In such circumstances what was needed?
20585	In the commonest meeting of men, a person making, what we call,''set speeches,''is not he an offence?
20585	In the one sense and in the other, are we not right glad to possess it?
20585	In the same direction have not we their descendants since carried it far?
20585	In which country, in which time, was it hitherto that man''s history, or the history of any man, went on by calculated or calculable"Motives"?
20585	In which words, indicating a total estrangement on the part of Teufelsdröckh, may there not also lurk traces of a bitterness as from wounded vanity?
20585	Increased Security and pleasurable Heat soon followed: but what of these?
20585	Independence, in all kinds, is rebellion; if unjust rebellion, why parade it, and everywhere prescribe it?''
20585	Influence?
20585	Is he not in most countries a tax- paying animal?
20585	Is it by short- clothes of yellow serge, and swineherd horns, that an infant of genius is educated?
20585	Is it even of business, a matter to be done?
20585	Is it of a truth leading us into beatific Asphodel meadows, or the yellow- burning marl of a Hell- on- Earth?
20585	Is it such a blessedness to have clerks forever pestering you with bundles of papers in red tape?
20585	Is not God''s Universe a Symbol of the Godlike; is not Immensity a Temple; is not Man''s History, and Men''s History, a perpetual Evangel?
20585	Is not Shame(_ Schaam_) the soil of all Virtue, of all good manners and good morals?
20585	Is not a man''s walking, in truth, always that:''a succession of falls''?
20585	Is not all work of man in this world a_ making of Order_?
20585	Is not every leaf of it a biography, every fibre there an act or word?
20585	Is not he a Temple, then; the visible Manifestation and Impersonation of the Divinity?
20585	Is not such a prize worth some striving?
20585	Is not that a sign?''
20585	Is not this the sincerest yet rudest voice of the spirit of man?
20585	Is that a real Elysian brightness, cries many a timid wayfarer, or the reflex of Pandemonian lava?
20585	Is that a wonder, which happens in two hours; and does it cease to be wonderful if happening in two million?
20585	Is the Past annihilated, then, or only past; is the Future non- extant, or only future?
20585	Is the heroic inspiration we name Virtue but some Passion; some bubble of the blood, bubbling in the direction others_ profit_ by?
20585	Is the pitifullest mortal Person, think you, indifferent to us?
20585	It is like Pococke asking Grotius, Where is your_ proof_ of Mahomet''s Pigeon?
20585	It was Superstition, Fanaticism, disgraceful Ignorance of Constitutional Philosophy to insist on the other thing!--Liberty to_ tax_ oneself?
20585	Joyful to men as the dawning of day from night;_ is_ it not, indeed, the awakening for them from no- being into being, from death into life?
20585	Knowest thou none such?
20585	Knowest thou that"_ Worship of Sorrow_"?
20585	Let the Philosopher answer this one question: What figure, at that period, was a Mrs. Teufelsdröckh likely to make in polished society?
20585	Liberty of judgment?
20585	Lives the man that can figure a naked Duke of Windlestraw addressing a naked House of Lords?
20585	Man is called a Laughing Animal: but do not the apes also laugh, or attempt to do it; and is the manliest man the greatest and oftenest laugher?
20585	May we not call Shakspeare the still more melodious Priest of a_ true_ Catholicism, the''Universal Church''of the Future and of all times?
20585	Meanwhile, for Andreas and his wife, the grand practical problem was: What to do with this little sleeping red- coloured Infant?
20585	Meanwhile, the question of questions were: What specially is a Miracle?
20585	Meanwhile, what portion of this inconsiderable terraqueous Globe have ye actually tilled and delved, till it will grow no more?
20585	Men speak much of the Printing- Press with its Newspapers:_ du Himmel!_ what are these to Clothes and the Tailor''s Goose?''
20585	Mighty fleets and armies, harbours and arsenals, vast cities, high- domed, many- engined,--they are precious, great: but what do they become?
20585	Mirabeau''s ambition to be Prime Minister, how shall we blame it, if he were''the only man in France that could have done any good there''?
20585	Miracles?
20585	Money?
20585	Morality itself, what we call the moral quality of a man, what is this but another_ side_ of the one vital Force whereby he is and works?
20585	Mother of God?
20585	Mother?
20585	Namely, that while the Beacon- fire blazed its brightest, the Watchman had quitted it; that no pilgrim could now ask him: Watchman, what of the Night?
20585	Names?
20585	Napoleon looking up into the stars, answers,"Very ingenious, Messieurs: but_ who made_ all that?"
20585	Napoleon''s working, accordingly, what was it with all the noise it made?
20585	Nay I may ask, Is not every true Reformer, by the nature of him, a_ Priest_ first of all?
20585	Nay here in these pages, such as they are, have we not two mere Poets, if not deified, yet we may say beatified?
20585	Nay not only our preaching, but even our worship, is not it too accomplished by means of Printed Books?
20585	Nay, a man preaching from his earnest_ soul_ into the earnest_ souls_ of men: is not this virtually the essence of all Churches whatsoever?
20585	Nay, at bottom, what else is alive_ but_ Protestantism?
20585	Nay, even for the basest Sensualist, what is Sense but the implement of Fantasy; the vessel it drinks out of?
20585	Nay, has not perhaps the Motive- grinder himself been_ in Love_?
20585	Nay, in any case, would Criticism erect not only finger- posts and turnpikes, but spiked gates and impassable barriers, for the mind of man?
20585	Nay, is it not what all zealous men, whether called Priests, Prophets, or whatsoever else called, do essentially wish, and must wish?
20585	Nevertheless, wayward as our Professor shows himself, is there any reader that can part with him in declared enmity?
20585	Nevertheless, which of the two was the more cunningly- devised article, even as an Engine?
20585	Nevertheless, you will say, there must be a difference between true Poetry and true Speech not poetical: what is the difference?
20585	Not so Cromwell:"For all our fighting,"says he,"we are to have a little bit of paper?"
20585	Not to pay- out money from your pocket except on reason shown?
20585	Notoriety: what would that do for him?
20585	O Heavens, is it, in very deed, HE, then, that ever speaks through thee; that lives and loves in thee, that lives and loves in me?
20585	Of Odin what history?
20585	Of a man or of a nation we inquire, therefore, first of all, What religion they had?
20585	Of all acts, is not, for a man,_ repentance_ the most divine?
20585	Of what station in Life was she; of what parentage, fortune, aspect?
20585	Oliver''s life at St Ives or Ely, as a sober industrious Farmer, is it not altogether as that of a true and devout man?
20585	Once more I say, sweep away the illusion of Time; compress the threescore years into three minutes: what else was he, what else are we?
20585	Only a torch for burning, no hammer for building?
20585	Or are we made of other clay now?
20585	Or coming into lower, less_ un_speakable provinces, is not all Loyalty akin to religious Faith also?
20585	Or even where is the use of such practical reflections as the following?
20585	Or has the Professor his own deeper intention; and laughs in his sleeve at our strictures and glosses, which indeed are but a part thereof?
20585	Or hast thou forgotten the day when thou first receivedst breeches, and thy long clothes became short?
20585	Or how, without Clothes, could we possess the master- organ, soul''s seat, and true pineal gland of the Body Social: I mean, a PURSE?''
20585	Or indeed what of the world and its victories?
20585	Or is the God present, felt in my own heart, a thing which Herr von Voltaire will dispute out of me; or dispute into me?
20585	Or is this merely one of his half- sophisms, half- truisms, which if he can but set on the back of a Figure, he cares not whither it gallop?
20585	Or was there something of intended satire; is the Professor and Seer not quite the blinkard he affects to be?
20585	Or what of Scotland?
20585	Or, on the other hand, what is there that we can not love; since all was created by God?
20585	Our own Wednesday, as I said, is it not still Odin''s Day?
20585	Over- population: With a world like ours and wide as ours, can there be too many men?
20585	Peace?
20585	Perhaps also in the following; wherewith we now hasten to knit- up this ravelled sleeve:''But there is no Religion?''
20585	Plummet''s?
20585	Popeship, spiritual Fatherhood of God''s Church, is that a vain semblance, of cloth and parchment?
20585	Possible?
20585	Precious they; but also is not he precious?
20585	Pure?
20585	Really his utterances, are they not a kind of''revelation;''--what we must call such for want of some other name?
20585	Reform Bill, free suffrage of Englishmen?
20585	Remarkable, moreover, is this saying of his:''How were Friendship possible?
20585	Rest?
20585	Said I not, Before the old skin was shed, the new had formed itself beneath it?''
20585	Say it in a word: is it not because thou art not HAPPY?
20585	Seems it not at least presumable, that, under his Clothes, the Tailor has bones and viscera, and other muscles than the sartorious?
20585	Seldom reflecting that still the new question comes upon us: What is Madness, what are Nerves?
20585	Shall I not have all Eternity to rest in?"
20585	Shall we say, then, Dante''s effect on the world was small in comparison?
20585	She was a widow; old, and had lost her looks: you love me better than you did her?"
20585	Some one''s doing, it without doubt was; from some Idea, in some single Head, it did first of all take beginning: why not from some Idea in mine?''
20585	Spake we not of a Communion of Saints, unseen, yet not unreal, accompanying and brother- like embracing thee, so thou be worthy?
20585	Stands he not thereby in the centre of Immensities, in the conflux of Eternities?
20585	Sure enough, I am; and lately was not: but Whence?
20585	Sword and Bible were borne before him, without any chimera: were not these the_ real_ emblems of Puritanism; its true decoration and insignia?
20585	Taxgatherer?
20585	Than which paragraph on Metaphors did the reader ever chance to see a more surprisingly metaphorical?
20585	That living flood, pouring through these streets, of all qualities and ages, knowest thou whence it is coming, whither it is going?
20585	That_ he_ stood there as the strongest soul of England, the undisputed Hero of all England,--what of this?
20585	The Age of Miracles past?
20585	The Atheistic logic runs- off from him like water; the great Fact stares him in the face:"Who made all that?"
20585	The Giant merely awoke; rubbed his cheek, and said, Did a leaf fall?
20585	The Overseer(_ Episcopus_) of Souls, I notice, has tucked- in the corner of it, as if his day''s work were done: what does he shadow forth thereby?''
20585	The Poet indeed, with his mildness, what is he but the product and ultimate adjustment of Reform, or Prophecy with its fierceness?
20585	The Prophet too has his eye on what we are to love: how else shall he know what it is we are to do?
20585	The Time call forth?
20585	The Writer of a Book, is not he a Preacher preaching not to this parish or that, on this day or that, but to all men in all times and places?
20585	The builder_ cast away_ his plummet; said to himself,"What is gravitation?
20585	The crabbed old Schoolmaster used to ask, when they brought him a new pupil,"But are ye sure he''s_ not a dunce_?"
20585	The eye too, it looks- out as in a kind of_ surprise_, a kind of inquiry, Why the world was of such a sort?
20585	The first ground handful of Nitre, Sulphur, and Charcoal drove Monk Schwartz''s pestle through the ceiling: what will the last do?
20585	The human Reynard, very frequent everywhere in the world, what more does he know but this and the like of this?
20585	The light which now rose upon them,--how could a human soul, by any means at all, get better light?
20585	The poor old Mother!----What had this man gained; what had he gained?
20585	The rough words he articulated, are they not the rudimental roots of those English words we still use?
20585	The stirring of a child''s finger brings the two together; and then-- What then?
20585	The thunder- struck Air- sailor is not wanting to himself in this dread hour: but what avails it?
20585	The uses of this Dante?
20585	The voice of Prophecy has gone dumb?
20585	The withered leaf is not dead and lost, there are Forces in it and around it, though working in inverse order; else how could it_ rot_?
20585	The world''s heart is palsied, sick: how can any limb of it be whole?
20585	The world- wide soul wrapt- up in its thoughts, in its sorrows;--what could paradings, and ribbons in the hat, do for it?
20585	The''imagination that shudders at the Hell of Dante,''is not that the same faculty, weaker in degree, as Dante''s own?
20585	Then, have we not a Doctrine of Rent, a Theory of Value; Philosophies of Language, of History, of Pottery, of Apparitions, of Intoxicating Liquors?
20585	There are not wanting men who will answer: Does your Professor take us for simpletons?
20585	Therefrom he preaches what most momentous doctrine is in him, for man''s salvation; and dost not thou listen, and believe?
20585	These Limbs, whence had we them; this stormy Force; this life- blood with its burning Passion?
20585	These are Apparitions: what else?
20585	They are lamentable, undeniable; but after all what has Luther or his cause to do with them?
20585	They called him Prophet, you say?
20585	They say scornfully, Is this your King?
20585	Think, would_ we_ believe, and take with us as our life- guidance, an allegory, a poetic sport?
20585	Thinkest thou there is aught motionless; without Force, and utterly dead?
20585	This I call a noble true purpose; is it not, In its own dialect, the noblest that could enter into the heart of Statesman or man?
20585	This Rome, this scene of false priests, clothed not in the beauty of holiness, but in far other vesture, is_ false_: but what is it to Luther?
20585	This Universe, ah me-- what could the wild man know of it; what can we yet know?
20585	This body, these faculties, this life of ours, is it not all as a vesture for that Unnamed?
20585	This indeed is properly the sum of his offences, the essential sin; for which what pardon can there be?
20585	This is even what I dispute: but in any case, hast thou not still Preaching enough?
20585	This is the Work he and his disciples made so much of, asking all the world, Is not that a miracle?
20585	This night the watchman on the streets of Cairo when he cries"Who goes?"
20585	This was imperfect enough: but to welcome, for example, a Burns as we did, was that what we can call perfect?
20585	Thou art still Nothing, Nobody: true; but who, then, is Something, Somebody?
20585	Thou hast no Tools?
20585	Thou thyself, wert thou not born, wilt thou not die?
20585	Though all men walk by them, what good is it?
20585	Thought, true labour of any kind, highest virtue itself, is it not the daughter of Pain?
20585	Thus has not the Editor himself, working over Teufelsdröckh''s German, lost much of his own English purity?
20585	Thus, were it not miraculous, could I stretch forth my hand and clutch the Sun?
20585	Thy very Hatred, thy very Envy, those foolish lies thou tellest of me in thy splenetic humour: what is all this but an inverted Sympathy?
20585	Till it do come, what have we?
20585	Till we know that, what is all our knowledge; how shall we even so much as''detect''?
20585	To be Sheik of Mecca or Arabia, and have a bit of gilt wood put into your hand,--will that be one''s salvation?
20585	To the eye of Pure Reason what is he?
20585	To the"_ Worship of Sorrow_"ascribe what origin and genesis thou pleasest,_ has_ not that Worship originated, and been generated; is it not_ here_?
20585	To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not a God made visible, if we will open our minds and eyes?
20585	True, you may well ask, What could the world, the governors of the world, do with such a man?
20585	Unhappy Teufelsdröckh, had man ever such a''physical or psychical infirmity''before?
20585	Utility?
20585	Want, want!--Ha, of what?
20585	Was Luther''s Picture of the Devil less a Reality, whether it were formed within the bodily eye, or without it?
20585	Was Teufelsdröckh also a fringe, of lace or cobweb; or promising to be such?
20585	Was her real name Flora, then?
20585	Was it Heathenism,--plurality of gods, mere sensuous representation of this Mystery of Life, and for chief recognised element therein Physical Force?
20585	Was it by the humid vehicle of_ Æsthetic Tea_, or by the arid one of mere Business?
20585	Was it his blame?
20585	Was it not the humble sincere nature of the man?
20585	Was it not the still higher Orpheus, or Orpheuses, who, in past centuries, by the divine Music of Wisdom, succeeded in civilising Man?
20585	Was it not_ true_, God''s truth?
20585	Was not such a Parliament worth being a member of?
20585	Was not the purpose so formed like to be precisely the best, wisest, the one to be followed without hesitation any more?
20585	Was not the whole Norse Religion, accordingly, in some sense, what we called''the enormous shadow of this man''s likeness''?
20585	Was she not to him in very deed a Morning- Star; did not her presence bring with it airs from Heaven?
20585	Was the attraction, the agitation mutual, then; pole and pole trembling towards contact, when once brought into neighbourhood?
20585	Was there so much as a fault, a"caprice,"he could have dispensed with?
20585	We all love great men; love, venerate, and bow down submissive before great men: nay can we honestly bow down to anything else?
20585	We ask in turn: Why perplex these times, profane as they are, with needless obscurity, by omission and by commission?
20585	We figure to ourselves, how in those days he may have played strange freaks with his independence, and so forth: do not his own words betoken as much?
20585	Well, answers Luther, what harm will a cassock do the man?
20585	Were I a Steam- engine, wouldst thou take the trouble to tell lies of me?
20585	Were they not indubitable awful facts; the whole heart of man taking them for practically true, all Nature everywhere confirming them?
20585	Were thy three broad Highways, meeting here from the ends of Europe, made for Ammunition- wagons, then?
20585	What Act of Legislature was there that_ thou_ shouldst be Happy?
20585	What Act of Parliament, debate at St. Stephen''s, on the hustings or elsewhere, was it that brought this Shakspeare into being?
20585	What English intellect could have chosen such a topic, or by chance stumbled on it?
20585	What am I to believe?
20585	What am I to do?
20585	What are all earthly preferments, Chancellorships, Kingships?
20585	What are all your national Wars, with their Moscow Retreats, and sanguinary hate- filled Revolutions, but the Somnambulism of uneasy Sleepers?
20585	What are the supreme lessons which he uses it to convey?
20585	What are your Axioms, and Categories, and Systems, and Aphorisms?
20585	What argument will avail?
20585	What built St Paul''s Cathedral?
20585	What cares the world for our as yet miniature Philosopher''s achievements under that''brave old Linden''?
20585	What could gilt carriages do for this man?
20585	What henceforth becomes of the brave Herr Towgood, or Toughgut?
20585	What indeed are faculties?
20585	What is Florence, Can della Scala, and the World and Life altogether?
20585	What is Life; what is Death?
20585	What is it?
20585	What is the chief end of man here below?
20585	What is the use of health, or of life, if not to do some work therewith?
20585	What made it?
20585	What make ye of your Christianities, and Chivalries, and Reformations, and Marseillese Hymns, and Reigns of Terror?
20585	What man''s heart does, in reality, break- forth into any fire of brotherly love for these men?
20585	What then?
