13725	But what miracle was this?
13725	But who is that tall and goodly lad, who sits apart, with gloomy brow, and seems ill- pleased with the doings of that riotous crew?

13725	But why do I speak thus to thee?
13725	Came he to fight with the Trojans after I was gone, and did he acquit him well?
13725	Came it slowly, by long disease, or did Artemis lay thee low in a moment with a painless arrow from her bow?

13725	He seemed a goodly man; but why did he start up and leave us so suddenly?
13725	He was in the prime of his manhood, surrounded by his friends, and in the midst of a joyous revel; who would dream of death and doom in such an hour?

13725	How camest thou by this raiment?
13725	How shall a man cross this dreadful gulf, where no ship is ever seen, on a raft?

13725	Is not Odysseus mine?
13725	Is their aid enough or shall we look for more?"
13725	It was of Antiphus that he thought, as he stood up and made harangue among the elders:"Who has summoned us hither, and what is his need?
13725	Know ye when he is to return from Pylos?"
13725	Knowest thou not that thou art a child of great hopes, and a favourite of heaven?"
13725	Lies she near at hand, or on a distant part of the coast?"
13725	Must I show you the way?
13725	Now tell me truly, I implore thee, what is this place where I am wandering?
13725	Of all his gallant peers, for ten years his companions in many a joyful feast, and many a high adventure, how many were left?
13725	Oh, for an hour of life, with such might as was mine when I fought in the van for Greece?
13725	Or art thou but the shadow of a shade, a phantom sent by Persephone to deceive me?"
13725	Or art thou keeping thy tidings until the wooers return?
13725	Or do his looks belie his qualities?
13725	Or seeks anyone to slay thee by force or by guile?"
13725	Say, hast thou brought any news of thy father?"
13725	Say, how comest thou hither, and what arm aimed the stroke which laid thee low?"
13725	Say, therefore, who art thou, and where is thy home?
13725	Shall I become a byword among the people, as false to the memory of my true lord?
13725	Shall we add the horrors of night to the horrors of the sea, and confront the demons of storm that haunt the caverns of darkness?
13725	Sweet home of my wedded joy, must I leave thee, and all the faces which I love so well, and the great possessions which he gave into my keeping?
13725	Telemachus replied:"How can I drive away the mother who bare me and nourished me?
13725	Tell me, how long is it since thou didst receive him, and who art thou, and where is thy home?"
13725	Then he called to Odysseus, and said:"How sayest thou, friend, wilt thou be my thrall, and work on my farm among the hills for a fixed wage?
13725	Then said Polyphemus, as his great hands passed over his back:"Dear ram, why art thou the last to leave the cave?
13725	Then wise Penelope made answer, slumbering right sweetly at the gates of dreams:"Dear sister, what has brought thee hither from thy far distant home?
13725	Thinkest thou that every fowl of the air is a messenger from heaven?
13725	Thou saidst''twas Ithaca, but in that I think thou speakest falsely, with intent to deceive me; or is this indeed my native land?"
13725	Ungrateful men, have ye forgotten all the good deeds that were wrought here by the hands of Odysseus, and all the kindness that ye received from him?
13725	Was it not but too probable that he would find his house made desolate, Telemachus dead, and Penelope wedded to another?
13725	Wast thou taken captive in war, or did robbers seize thee as thou satst watching sheep on the lonely hills, and sell thee into bondage?"
13725	We have slain the noblest in the land, not one, but many, who leave a host of friends to take up their cause: how then shall we escape the blood feud?
13725	Were it not better that I took him with me to my farm?
13725	What if he had come by his death through this violence?
13725	What shall I do?
13725	What was he to do with all this wealth?
13725	When she had drunk she said:"Whence comest thou, my son?
13725	When she observed it, Circe rallied him for his sullenness:"Art thou afraid to eat?"
13725	When they had supped, Calypso looked at Odysseus and said:"And wilt thou indeed leave me, thou strange man?
13725	Where was Menelaus when that foul deed was done?
13725	Who hath moved my bed from its place?
13725	Who in all the world will ever draw near to thee again, after the hideous deeds which thou hast wrought?"
13725	Who knows but that Odysseus will yet return, and make them drink the cup which they have filled?
13725	Who knows but thy master is now in like evil case, grown old before his time through care and misery?"
13725	Why didst thou bring this caitiff to the town?
13725	Why holdest thou thus aloof from my father, who has come back to thee after twenty years of suffering and toil?
13725	Why pierce ye the heart of the lady with your howlings?
13725	Why sit ye thus silent?
13725	Why will she delay us further?
13725	Will not one of you run down to the camp, and ask Agamemnon to send us further succour?''
13725	Wilt thou go begging at other men''s tables, or art thou waiting to taste of my fists?"
13725	Wilt thou not repay us by telling something of thyself?
13725	With a cry of dismay he sprang to his feet, and cried aloud:"Good lack, what land have I come to now, and who be they that dwell there?
13725	With a stern look Odysseus answered him, and said:"What possesses thee, fellow, that thou seekest a quarrel with me?
13725	Would ye be for the wooers or for him?"
13725	Wouldst thou be wedded in soiled attire, and have all thy friends clad unseemly, to put thee to shame?
13725	Wouldst thou destroy him whom thou hast nursed at thine own breast?"
13725	Wretch, why dost thou lay snares against the life of my son?
13725	and why hast thou disturbed me in the sweetest sleep that ever I had since the fatal, the accursed day when my lord sailed for Troy?
13725	art thou there?"
13725	cried Antinous,"thinkest thou that there are no better men here than thou art?
13725	hast thou no heart at all?
13725	he cried,"when shall my troubles have an end?
13725	he cried,"would these dastards fill the seat and we d the wife of that mighty man?
13725	said the implacable god, shaking his head;"and have the other powers plotted against me in my absence, to frustrate my just anger?
13725	she said, smiling:"have I not sworn to do thee no harm?
13725	she said,"wilt thou never forget thy cunning shifts, wherein none can surpass thee, no, not the gods themselves?
13725	son of Telamon,"he said,"canst thou not forgive me, even here?
26275	A whole month the monarch entertained me;what was again the interest?
26275	All feast from day to day with endless change of meats;why ask whence the viands come?
26275	How shall I escape afterward, if I succeed?
26275	Ill- fated man,she cries,"why hast thou so angered Neptune?"
26275	No more honor for me from mortals or Gods,cries Neptune,"if I can be thus defied?"
26275	Phæacians, how does this man seem to you now in form, stature, and mind?
26275	Shall I drop into the sea and perish, or shall I still endure and stay among the living?
26275	Telemachus was much the first to observe her;why just he?
26275	Why art thou last to leave, who wast always first? 26275 Why dost thou a God ask me a God why I come?"
26275	A foolish question has been asked here and much discussed: How did Ulysses know what his companions said during his sleep?
26275	A great change in manner of treatment; why?
26275	Above all, does Menelaus love me still?
26275	Again the question comes up: what is it to know Homer?
26275	An idyllic spot and forever beautiful; who but Homer has ever gotten so much poetry out of a pig- sty?
26275	And indeed what can he gain thereby?
26275	And what is the connection with the preceding portion of the poem?
26275	And, Will he return home?
26275	Are literal rocks passed by putting wax into the ears of the crew and by tying the captain to the mast?
26275	Are they transformed men, or merely wild animals tamed?
26275	As that father is not present the question arises, Where is he?
26275	At once she recognizes who it is:"Art thou that wily Ulysses whose coming hither from Troy in his black ship has often been foretold to me?"
26275	But after such a fit, he is ready for action:"when I had enough of weeping and rolling about, I asked Circe: Who will guide me?"
26275	But can the mortal hide himself from the deity, specially from the deity of wisdom?
26275	But for what purpose?
26275	But if it be utterly rotten, what then?
26275	But is not Ulysses himself inhuman and uncharitable toward his poor beggar rival?
26275	But is this separation never to be overcome?
26275	But the aid for such an enterprise-- whence?
26275	But the singer is tired and sleepy; moreover has he not told the essence of the matter in this portion of his song?
26275	But what else is allegory but this embodiment of subjective wisdom?
26275	But what if he falls out with both?
26275	But what is the attitude of the Suitors toward such a view?
26275	But what is this thought?
26275	But what reader ever found these few lines tiresome?
26275	But where is this Syria?
26275	But who are the Cyclops?
26275	But who are these spirits or weird powers dwelling in the lone island or in the solitary wood?
26275	But who has not felt that in the preceding division the three Greek heroes were under the inevitable penalty of their own deeds?
26275	But who was the author of such work?
26275	But why did Helen do thus?
26275	But why should the Læstrigonians be portrayed as giants?
26275	But why this blame?
26275	Can not the other two adventures be derived in a general way from the experiences of the Underworld?
26275	Can we not see Orient and Occident imaging themselves in their respective ideal products?
26275	Can we not see that herein is an attempt to rise out of that twofold prison of the spirit, Space and Time, into what is true in all places and times?
26275	Cunning indeed she has and boundless artifice; what shall we make of her?
26275	Did he not see the limits of his world?
26275	Did they get their knowledge from Egypt or Chaldea?
26275	Did they not undergo all this severing of the dearest ties for the sake of Helen, for the integrity of the family, and of their civil life also?
26275	Do they still retain their affection for their families?
26275	Does he not show within himself a deep scission-- between his desire to return and his deed?
26275	Does her end justify her means?
26275	Does not the man at times conceal himself to the God, by self- deception, self- excuse, by lying to his higher nature?
26275	Does she not thus announce to the much- enduring man that she is free, though under a good deal of pressure?
26275	Does the poet hint through a side glance the real state of the case?
26275	Dost thou long to see the eye of thy ruler, which has been put out by that vile wretch, Nobody?"
26275	Doth he live?
26275	Finally comes the demand: who art thou and why didst thou weep?
26275	For has he not the proof in his own heart?
26275	For is not the career of every true hero or heroine vicarious to a certain degree?
26275	For is not the universal man all men-- both himself and others in essence?
26275	Has a change come over the Goddess through this visit from Olympus?
26275	Has he not negatived Polyphemus, who was himself a negative, so carefully and fully defined by the poet at the start?
26275	Has it any connection with the other songs of this Book, or with Homer in general?
26275	Has not the poet derived the noble Arete and Alcinous and institutional Phæacia from the savage Cyclops?
26275	Have the Gods, then, nothing to do in this world?
26275	He dares not kill the giant outright,"with my sharp sword stubbing him where the midriff holds the liver,"for how could they then get out?
26275	He denies his own reason; how then can he rise after a fall?
26275	He must have looked within in order to see his world; where else was it to be found in any such completeness?
26275	He recognizes this descent to Hades as the greatest deed of Ulysses:"What greater deed, rash man, wilt thou plan next?"
26275	How can we best see the sweep of these eight Books and their organic connection with the total Odyssey?
26275	How could he, with his bent toward the godless?
26275	How shall he know the truth of the reality about him in his new situation, how understand this world of wisdom?
26275	How shall we consider this prophecy?
26275	In fact, how can they have any unity?
26275	In general, the question comes up: What constitutes a lie?
26275	In such case is not the God also hidden, in fact compelled to assume a mask?
26275	In the harbor of Piræus the hackman will ask the traveler:"Do you want my_ amaxa_?"
26275	In the second place one asks very emphatically: Why this present treatment of the Gods on Homer''s part?
26275	Indeed have we not just seen him in the fierce conflict between knowing and doing, which he has not been able to unify in the last adventure?
26275	Indeed what else could he do?
26275	Indeed what use is there of rising?
26275	Indeed whom else ought he to find?
26275	Insane laughter of the Suitors, yet with eyes full of tears, and with hearts full of sorrow: what does it all forbode?
26275	Is it a wonder that Pallas, taking the human shape of Mentor, comes and speaks to him?
26275	Is it not manifest that we have passed out of dualism into unity, out of strife into harmony?
26275	Is not this a glorious starting- point for a poem which proposes to reveal the ways of providence unto men?
26275	Is she justified?
26275	Is she right?
26275	Is such deception allowable under the circumstances?
26275	Is the disguise of Ulysses justifiable?
26275	Is the subtlety of Penelope morally reprehensible?
26275	Is there to be no positive result of such bloody work?
26275	Is there to be no return to the East and completion of the world''s cycle?
26275	Is this test of charity, selected by the poet here, a true test of such characters?
26275	It is certainly a product of early Greek poesy; can it be organically jointed into anything before it and after it?
26275	It is to be noticed, however, that Pallas has little to do with Ulysses in Fableland; for is she not substantially negated?
26275	Knowledge and suffering-- are they not the two poles of the universal character?
26275	Lofty is the response of Ulysses:"O Circe, what right- minded man would endure to touch food and drink before seeing his companions released?"
26275	Mark the words of Ulysses:"Woman, thou hast spoken a painful word,"when she commanded the bed to be removed;"who hath displaced my bed?"
26275	Menelaus holds the Old Man fast, and asks: What God detains me from my return?
26275	Moreover he was one of those who returned home successfully, can he tell how it was done?
26275	Nor should we fail to scan her second question:"Do you not say that you have come hither a wanderer over the deep?"
26275	Now what is this problem?
26275	Now what will he do?
26275	Now what?
26275	One asks: Is not this imaginative form still a vital element of education?
26275	Onward the wanderer, now with his single ship, has to sail again; whither next?
26275	Our first question is, why call in a goddess for such a purpose?
26275	Pallas appears to Ulysses,"but Telemachus beheld her not;"Why?
26275	Pallas has at last to come and to answer his two troublesome thoughts:"How shall I, being only one, slay the Suitors, being many?"
26275	Pass them the man must; what is to be done?
26275	Prophetic Circe can tell all this, for does it not lie just in the domain of her experience, which has also been twofold?
26275	She has to obey, for is she not really conquered by Ulysses?
26275	She must not be seen with Ulysses; men with evil tongues would say:"What stranger is this following Nausicaa?
26275	She takes pleasure in the exercise of her gift, who does not?
26275	So much for Circe in her new relation in the present Book; how about Ulysses?
26275	So the old Greek poet must have thought; was he very far from right?
26275	Soon by the light of his fire he sees the lurking strangers and asks,"Who are you?"
26275	Soon, however, we catch the reason of her conduct in the question:"Stranger, where did you get those garments?"
26275	Such continual recurrence of the God''s interference with the course of events-- what does it mean?
26275	Such is her lively admiration now, but what means this?
26275	Such is the promise, has it not been fulfilled?
26275	Such is this ideal world of Phæacia, still ideal to- day; for where is it realized?
26275	Such was the supreme test, that of charity; how will the Suitors treat the poor beggar?
26275	Telemachus is to see Helen; what does that signify in education?
26275	The highest and the humblest of the social order are here placed side by side; with what result?
26275	The old dispute as to conduct rises in full intensity: Does the end justify the means?
26275	The present Tale seeks to give an answer to the two main questions of Telemachus: Where is my father now?
26275	The question arises: Did Homer find those Tales already collected?
26275	The question is, How can they truly get back after so long a period of violence?
26275	The question of the hour is, How shall I get out of the difficulty?
26275	The question rises, Why does the poet hold it so necessary to keep the matter secret from Eumæus?
26275	The question, therefore, is at present: How shall this man come into the knowledge of the Goddess?
26275	The reader naturally asks, will there be any return to the Orient after the grand Greek separation, first heralded on the plains of Ilium?
26275	The rest of the companions were ordered aboard, they obeyed; off they sail again on the hoary deep-- whitherward?
26275	The result is when the other Cyclops, roused by the cries of Polyphemus, ask him from outside the cave: What is the matter?
26275	Then why should the Suitors injure the son because they have been wheedled by the mother?
26275	There he sacrifices to the Highest God, Zeus, who, however, pays no heed-- how is it possible?
26275	This fact we may accept; but the question comes up: Is Homer such a balladist and nothing more?
26275	This test is that of humanity, of charity toward a beggar; how will the Suitors behave toward him?
26275	Unquestionably a glorious ideal is set up before the Sisterhood of all time for emulation; or is it unattainable?
26275	Was it a hostile act on her part?
26275	Was not Troy destroyed because of a wrong done to the Greek Family?
26275	Was there some intimate personal relation figured in this character which we still seem to feel afar off there in antiquity?
26275	What are these shapes and why?
26275	What are we doing now but trying to grasp Proteus in this exposition?
26275	What can be the matter?
26275	What did not Telemachus see and hear at Sparta?
26275	What did these companions do?
26275	What does all this mean?
26275	What does he get?
26275	What does it all mean?
26275	What does this suggest to the reader-- this duplication of the threefold form of the Book?
26275	What else can she do?
26275	What else indeed has man to do?
26275	What else indeed is Gravitation?
26275	What experience has called forth such a marvelous character?
26275	What follows?
26275	What have we to encounter?
26275	What hint lies in that?
26275	What is the ground of such a marked transition?
26275	What is the location of the Læstrigonians?
26275	What is the outcome?
26275	What is thy relation to Troy?
26275	What men are here-- wild, insolent, unjust, or are they hospitable, reverencing the Gods?
26275	What motive for weeping?
26275	What next?
26275	What reason for it?
26275	What shall I do with this world of the senses?
26275	What then?
26275	What then?
26275	What then?
26275	What will Ulysses do in such extremity?
26275	What will the Suitors do?
26275	What will this discipline be?
26275	What, then, is left for the poor mortal?
26275	When did it take place, at what period during the struggle?
26275	Whence did she obtain them?
26275	Wherein does the negative nature of Hades lie?
26275	Wherein is the escort by the Phæacians a violation of the divine order as voiced by the Supreme God?
26275	Which is paramount?
26275	Whither now does he go?
26275	Whither?
26275	Who are present?
26275	Who can not feel that this touch is taken from life, is an echo of his own experience in some princely hall?
26275	Who does not love this fealty of the old bard to the highest order of things?
26275	Who is this Goddess?
26275	Who is this stranger anyhow?
26275	Who will recognize her?
26275	Who, then, according to the theory, put these ballads together?
26275	Why a Goddess here?
26275	Why is he thus repelled by Family and State?
26275	Why just that in her case?
26275	Why not?
26275	Why should he not be angry at the man who seeks to tame him?
26275	Why should he not make a philologer and a professor the author of the Homeric poems?
26275	Why then introduce the Goddess at all?
26275	Why then regard them as Gods?
26275	Why this change in the everlasting powers?
26275	Why this difference?
26275	Why this interference from above?
26275	Why?
26275	Why?
26275	Will they answer the call of their wives?
26275	Will they behave toward him as Eumæus has?
26275	Will you still keep sneaking through the house by night to spy out women?"
