45165And yet, bold babbler, what art thou to Him Who drown''d a world, and heap''d the waters far Above its loftiest mountains?
45165Are you not ashamed to say such things?
45165As he left the throng he came near me, and I said, inquiringly,"Down with Louis Philippe?"
45165At a dollar a time, that makes twenty- five dollars-- don''t it?"
45165Brought up under such influences, how could I give up my heart to trade?
45165But can it be compared-- I appeal to all unprejudiced infants-- with that first chapter of our Second Expedition?
45165Can it be?
45165Canning''s wit got the better of his reverence, and so he profanely suggested that, if his majesty was a Dog of Dogs, what must the queen be?

45165Did not children love truth?
45165Did you ever see it, stranger?"
45165Do n''t you like that, mother?
45165Do n''t you think it pretty good?

45165From leaf, from page to page, Guide thou thy pupil''s look; And when he says, with aspect sage,"Who made this wondrous book?"
45165Has it life?
45165How''ll you take it, Mr. Kellogg?
45165I asked if Mr. H---- was in?
45165I replied:"Why do n''t you tell me what it is?
45165If so, was it necessary to feed them on fiction?
45165If the child knew his letters, the"what''s that?"
45165If you turn a thing that''s got water in it bottom up, the water''ll run out, wo n''t it?"
45165In cash, or in my way-- say in''taters, pork, and other things?"
45165Is it not Jenkins that I see in Asia, defending himself stoutly, in the midst of an arid plain, against a mounted Arab?
45165Is not that a grand_ denouement_?
45165Is there not a gulf as wide as eternity, between the human soul and animal instinct?
45165It can not think; it can not walk; who makes it grow then?
45165It was something different from the frank, familiar,"How are you, stranger?"
45165It was the precise point at which Sydney Smith had uttered that bitter taunt in the Edinburgh Review--"Who reads an American book?"
45165Kellogg?"
45165Listen to what I say?

45165Three men in a tub-- And how do you think they got there?
45165Was ever a mortal in so dire an extremity?
45165Was it not curious to see the most renowned personage in the three kingdoms sitting at the very feet of these men: they the court, and he the clerk?
45165What can be the matter?
45165What is the matter with you?''
45165What makes it grow?
45165What shall I du?"
45165What will Deacon Benedict say?
45165What will come next?

13660All people are in a sort of joy- dom over the new French Republic, which has descended suddenly( or shall we say,_ ascended_ alas?)
13660And if so, I should say, Why not come at once, even as the Editor surmises?
13660And who knows but I may come one day?
13660And you ought to come and look at it, beyond doubt; and say to this land,"Old Mother, how are you getting on at all?"
13660Are English of this day incapable of a great sentiment?
13660Are you a physician, and will you come?
13660Are you bound by your Arabian bounty to a largess whenever you think of your friend?
13660But I hope you are to be at home tomorrow, for if I prosper, I shall come and beg a dinner with you,--is it not at five o''clock?
13660But he is a good man, and, do you know it?
13660But since you are all bounty and care for me, where are the new volumes of the Library Edition of Carlyle?
13660But there is no more time in this late night-- and what need?

13660Enough, enough; there will be all Eternity to rest in, as Arnauld said:"Why in such a fuss, little sir?"
13660Ever yours, T. Carlyle We returned from Hampshire exactly a week ago; never passed six so totally idle weeks in our lives.--Better in health a little?
13660For example, you must tell Mr. Thoreau( is that the exact name?

13660How can you explain men to Apes by the Dead Sea?
13660How shall Queen Victoria read this?
13660I fear you wo n''t see Brigham Young, however?
13660I know not what your engagements are; but I say to myself, Why not come at once, and rest a little from your sea- changes, before going farther?
13660I shall think there, a fortnight might bring you from London to Walden Pond.--Life wears on, and do you say the gray hairs appear?
13660In fact I felt punished;--and who knows, if the case were seen into, whether I deserve it?
13660In short, I am willing, I am willing; and so let us not waste another drop of ink on it at present!--On the whole, are not you a strange fellow?
13660Is Frederic recreated?
13660Is Frederic the Great?
13660Is it likely we shall meet in"Oregon,"think you?
13660Is not Henry James in London?

13660Never dream of such a thing nay, whom_ did_ you send?
13660Now please to read these things to the wise and kind ears of Jane Carlyle, and ask her if I have done wrong in giving my friend a letter to her?
13660Or is the case already irremediable?
13660Or possibly I do the poor man wrong by misremembrance?
13660Regrets for old days.--Not left town.--A new top story.--Miss Bacon, her Quixotic enterprise.--Clough.--Thackeray.--To Concord?

13660The common impious vulgar of this earth, what has it to do with my life or me?
13660The man looks brilliant and noble to me; but how_ love_ him, or the sad wreck he lived and worked in?
13660This is the fact: what more can I say?
13660This war has been conducted over the heads of all the actors in it; and the foolish terrors,"What shall we do with the negro?"
13660To which the Mother will answer,"Thankee, young son, and you?"
13660Very well: could I help it?
13660Was I not once promised a visit?

13660Who can say what he yet is and will be to me?
13660Who is he that can trust himself in the fray?
13660Who knows but I may have adventures-- I who had never one, as I have just had occasion to write to Mrs. Howitt, who inquired what mine were?
13660Why should I plague poor Clark with them, if it be any plague to him?
13660Why should I regret that I see you not, when you are forced thus intimately to discover yourself beyond the intimacy of conversation?

13660_ Ach Gott!_ Is not Anarchy, and parliamentary eloquence instead of work, continued for half a century everywhere, a beautiful piece of business?

2647Do n''t you know?
2647Do you remember the making of it?
2647How stands the case? 2647 Was there ever a more appropriate quotation?
2647Well, Vernon, what are they doing?
2647''In spirits, Ma''am?
2647''What did you say to him?''
2647( Do you know that delicious sensation?)
2647( in passing I may be allowed to ask what that means?)
2647After I had lounged a short time in the dining- room, I heard a gruff good- natured voice asking,"Where is Mr. Macaulay?
2647And do you not remember how, on behalf of your sex, you resented the imputation?
2647And have they forgotten all the transactions of the succeeding year?
2647And how is that?
2647And how was this change effected?
2647And, as St. John was writing Greek, and to Greeks, is it not likely that he would use the Greek rather than the Arabic notation?"
2647And, if you do not read novels, what do you read?
2647Are they foolish, and wicked, and wayward in the use of their faculties?
2647Are they ungrateful to you for your kindnesses?
2647At midnight I walked away with George Lamb, and went-- where for a ducat?
2647Away I went from Brooks''s-- but whither?
2647But before we had got five feet from where we were standing, who should meet us face to face but Old Basil Montagu?
2647But do you not remember how I told you that much of the love of women depended on the eminence of men?
2647But what are they all to the great Athenian?
2647But what is the line of defence taken by its advocates?
2647But what shall I feel?
2647But why plague ourselves about politics when we have so much pleasanter things to talk of?
2647But why should I go on preaching to you out of Ecclesiastes?
2647By the bye, why do not you translate him?
2647By what strange fascination is it that ambition and resentment exercise such power over minds which ought to be superior to them?
2647By whom, I ask, has the Reform Bill been carried?
2647Can I possibly look forward to anything happier?
2647Can anything be so bad as the living bush which bleeds and talks, or the Harpies who befoul Aeneas''s dinner?
2647Did I tell you that I dined at the Duchess of Kent''s, and sate next that loveliest of women, Mrs. Littleton?
2647Did not Lady Holland tell me of some good novels?
2647Did you begin from the beginning?
2647Did you ever read Athenaeus through?

2647Gentlemen, is it your wish that those persons who are thought worthy of the public confidence should never possess the confidence of the King?
2647Have I nothing to do but to be your novel- taster?
2647Have they forgotten how the spirit of liberty in Ireland, debarred from its natural outlet, found a vent by forbidden passages?
2647Have they obliterated from their minds-- gladly, perhaps, would some among them obliterate from their minds-- the transactions of that year?
2647Have you ever read it?
2647Have you seen what the author of the"Young Duke"says about me: how rabid I am, and how certain I am to rat?
2647How are we to permit all the consequences of that wealth but one?
2647How can his ambitious mind support it?

2647Indeed, what colouring is there which would not look tame when placed side by side with the magnificent light, and the terrible shade, of Thucydides?
2647Is it for fame?
2647Is it possible that gentlemen long versed in high political affairs can not read these signs?
2647Is it possible that they can really believe that the Representative system of England, such as it now is, will last to the year 1860?
2647Is it your wish that no men should be Ministers but those whom no populous places will take as their representatives?
2647Is not this an exquisite specimen of legislative wisdom?
2647Is the"Young Duke"worth reading?
2647Johnson''s Hebrides, or Walton''s Lives, unless you would like a neat edition of Cowper''s poems or Paradise Lost for your own eating?
2647My Darling,--Why am I such a fool as to write to a gypsey at Liverpool, who fancies that none is so good as she if she sends one letter for my three?

2647My dear Sister,--Do you want to hear all the compliments that are paid to me?

2647Pray, sir, what is it called?"
2647Quando ullum invenient parem?

2647The first touch which came home to him was Jingle''s"Handsome Englishman?"
2647There I found an Englishman who, without any preface, accosted me thus:"Pray, Mr. Macaulay, do not you think that Buonaparte was the Beast?"
2647To whom but the Good Old King?
2647To whom, for a ducat?
2647Very kind of the old man, is it not?

2647What are those pretty lines of Shelley?
2647What can I say more?

2647Where have you put him?"
2647Who calls Macaulay?
2647Who ever composed with greater spirit and elegance because he could define an oxymoron or an aposiopesis?

2647Who hath not dreamed that even the skylark''s throat Hails that sweet morning with a gentler note?
2647Who have raised Leeds into the situation to return members to Parliament?
2647Who shall say?
2647Who would compare the fame of Charles Townshend to that of Hume, that of Lord North to that of Gibbon, that of Lord Chatham to that of Johnson?

2647Why was it that, when neighbouring capitals were perishing in the flames, our own was illuminated only for triumphs?
2647Why, Sir, if he was not the Beast, who was?"
2647Will our merchants consent to have the trade with China, which has just been offered to them, snatched away?
2647Will the negroes, after receiving the Resolutions of the House of Commons promising them liberty, submit to the cart- whip?
2647Would they have us wait till the whole tragicomedy of 1827 has been acted over again?
2647Would they have us wait, merely that we may show to all the world how little we have profited by our own recent experience?
2647Would they have us wait, that we may once again hit the exact point where we can neither refuse with authority, nor concede with grace?
2647Would you think it?
2647Yesterday, as he was sitting in the Athenaeum, a gentleman called out:''Waiter, is there a copy of the Pilgrim''s Progress in the library?''

13583And now why do not_ you_ write to me?
13583And now will you not tell me what you read and write?
13583And see Miss Martineau in the last_ Westminster Review:_--these things you are old enough to stand?
13583And then, How?
13583And what more can a man ask of his writing fellow- man?
13583And yet did ever wise and philanthropic author use so defying a diction?
13583And yet, as you will say, why not even of dollars?
13583Are all these things interesting to you?
13583As you know my whereabout, will you throw a little light on your own?
13583But after all, will it suit America to print an_ unequal_ number of your two pairs of volumes?
13583But has literature any parallel to the oddity of the vehicle chosen to convey this treasure?
13583But now first as to this question, What I mean?
13583But on the whole are we not the_ formalest_ people ever created under this Sun?
13583But the way to find that word?
13583But then where?
13583But what avail any commendations of the form, until I know that the man is alive and well?
13583But what makes the priest?
13583By the by, have you not learned to read German now?
13583By the bye, will you tell me some time or other in_ what_ American funds it is that your funded money, you once gave me note of, now lies?
13583Can they not see the necessity of your coming to look after your American interests?

13583Could you send me two copies of the American_ Life of Schiller,_ if the thing is fit for making a present of, and easy to be got?
13583Could you send us out a part of your edition at American prices, and at the same time to your advantage?
13583Couldst not wait a little?
13583Did I tell you that we hope shortly to send you some American verses and prose of good intent?
13583Did he ever write to you?
13583Did the Upholsterer make this Universe?
13583Did you ever see such a vacant turnip- lantern as that Walsingham Goethe?
13583Did you not tell me, Mr. Thomas Carlyle, sitting upon one of your broad hills, that it was Jesus Christ built Dunscore Kirk yonder?
13583Do not the two together make one work?
13583Do you know English Puseyism?
13583Do you know what I think of doing with it?
13583Do you not believe that the fields and woods have their proper virtue, and that there are good and great things which will not be spoken in the city?
13583Do you read German or not?
13583Do you read Landor, or know him, O seeing man?
13583Do you remember Fraser''s Magazine for October, 1832, and a Translation there, with Notes, of a thing called Goethe''s Mahrchen?
13583Emerson What manner of person is Heraud?
13583Far, far better seems to me the unpopularity of this Philosophical Poem( shall I call it?)

13583For the sake of America will she not try the trip to Leith again?
13583For which last Evangel, the confirmation and rehabilitation of all other Evangels whatsoever, how can I be too grateful?
13583Gustave d''Eichthal( did you hear?)
13583Has the heterodoxy arrived in Chelsea, and quite destroyed us even in the charity of our friend?
13583Has the_ Meister_ ever arrived?
13583Have I involved you in double postage by this loquacity?
13583Have you received a letter from me with a pamphlet sent in December?
13583How can I speak of them on a miserable scrap of blue paper?
13583How do I know what is good for_ you,_ what authentically makes your own heart glad to work in it?
13583How is it that you do not write to me?
13583How should he be so poor?
13583I am getting on with some studies of mine prosperously for me, have got three essays nearly done, and who knows but in the autumn I shall have a book?
13583I am weary of hearing it said,"We love the Americans,""We wish well,"& c.,& c. What in God''s name should we do else?
13583I ask constantly of all men whether life may not be poetic as well as stupid?
13583I declare, I am ashamed of my intolerance:--and yet you have ceased to be a Teacher of theirs, have you not?
13583I have seen some other Lions, and Lion''s-_providers;_ but consider them a worthless species.--When will you write, then?
13583I know not what he will make of it;-- perhaps wry faces at it?
13583I rejoice rather in my laziness; proving that I_ can_ sit.--But, after all, ought I not to be thankful?
13583I sometimes ask myself rather earnestly, What is the duty of a citizen?
13583I will not love them.--And yet, what am I saying?
13583If it be not His will,--then is it not better so?
13583If you in America wanted more also--?
13583In any case what signifies it much?
13583In this number what say you to the_ Elegy_ written by a youth who grew up in this town and lives near me,--Henry Thoreau?
13583Is he now a preacher?
13583Is it Cromwell still?
13583Is lecturing and noise the way to get at that?
13583Is not all that very morbid,--unworthy the children of Odin, not to speak of Luther, Knox, and the other Brave?
13583Is there, at bottom, in the world or out of it, anything one would like so well, with one''s whole heart_ well,_ as PEACE?
13583It seems then this Mahomet was not a quack?
13583John Sterling scolds and kisses it( as the manner of the man is), and concludes by inquiring, whether there is any procurable Likeness of Emerson?
13583Little and James Brown, 112 Washington St.), or is not this the right way?
13583May I not call it temporary?
13583Meanwhile, however, is it not pitiable?
13583Milnes did get your Letter: I told you?
13583More than one inquires of me, Has that Emerson of yours written nothing else?
13583My copy of the_ Oration_ has never come: how is this?
13583Norton* surely is a chimera; but what has the whole business they are jarring about become?
13583Now, what does your question point at in reference to your new edition, asking"if we want more"?
13583Or are you perhaps writing a Book?
13583Or do you ever mean to learn it?
13583Or perhaps it is not a whit worse; only rougher, more substantial; on the whole better?
13583Or the power( and thence the call) to teach man''s duties as they flow from the Superhuman?
13583Or who knows but Mahomet may go to the mountain?
13583Patience;--and yet who can be patient?
13583People cry over it:"Whitherward?
13583Perhaps in some late number of the_ Zeitgenossen_ there may be something?
13583Probably, there is no chance before the middle of March or so?
13583Read the article_ Simonides_ by him in the_ London and Westminster_--brilliant prose, translations-- wooden?
13583Says not the sarcasm,"Truth hath the plague in his house"?
13583Shall it be Switzerland, shall it be Scotland, nay, shall it be America and Concord?
13583Shall we have anthracite coal or wood in your chamber?
13583Suppose you and I promulgate a treatise next,"How to see"?
13583Tell me of the author''s health and welfare; or, will not he love me so much as to write me a letter with his own hand?
13583Tell me whether you dislike it less; what you do think of it?
13583That he is a better Christian, with his"bastard Christianity,"than the most of us shovel- hatted?
13583That is the right way, is it not?
13583The Cat- Raphael?
13583The Printer is slack and lazy as Printers are; and you do not wish to write till you can send some news of him?
13583The cost of a copy in sheets or"folded"( if that means somewhat more?)
13583The second volume was just closing; shall it live for a third year?
13583The way to speak it when found?"
13583The"Lectures on the Times"are even now in progress?
13583Then again I think it is perhaps better so; who knows?
13583These voices of yours which I likened to unembodied souls, and censure sometimes for having no body,--how can they have a body?
13583They are delivering Orations about him, and emitting other kinds of froth,_ ut mos est._ What hurt can it do?
13583They are even of benefit?
13583They ask, What shall be done?
13583To fly in the teeth of English Puseyism, and risk such shrill welcome as I am pretty sure of, is questionable: yet at bottom why not?
13583To what use, surely?
13583Varnhagen himself will not bring up your fourth volume to the right size; hardly beyond 380 pages, I should think; yet what more can be done?
13583Very saucy, was it not?
13583Were you created by the Tailor?
13583What am I to do?
13583What can we say in these cases?
13583What could Homer, Socrates, or St. Paul say that can not be said here?
13583What does he at Clifton?
13583What has life better to offer than such tidings?
13583What have you to do with Italy?
13583What help, O James?
13583What is to hinder huge London from being to universal Saxondom what small Mycale was to the Tribes of Greece,--a place to hold your[ Greek] in?
13583What news, my dear friend, from your study?
13583What she is to write I know not, except it be what she has said, holding up the pamphlet,"Is it not a noble thing?
13583What would it avail to tell you anecdotes of a sweet and wonderful boy, such as we solace and sadden ourselves with at home every morning and evening?
13583What, What?"
13583When will you come and redeem your pledge?
13583Wherefore, putting all things together, can not I feel that I have washed my hands of this business in a quite tolerable manner?
13583Why may you not give the reins to your wit, your pathos, your philosophy, and become that good despot which the virtuous orator is?
13583Why not you come over, since I can not?
13583Why will not this_ Appendix_ do, these_ Appendixes,_ to hang to the skirts of Volume Four as well?
13583Will it ever reach him?
13583Will not that do?
13583Will this_ Appendix_ do, then?
13583Will you say to him that he sent me some books two or three years ago without any account of prices annexed?
13583Yet I work better under this base necessity, and then I have a certain delight( base also?)
13583Yet how is it that I do not hear?
13583Yet it was to fulfil my duty, finish my mission, not with much hope of gratifying him,--in the spirit of"If I love you, what is that to you?"
13583Yet perhaps it is the proper place after all, seeing all places are improper: who knows?
13583You can not believe it?
13583You of course read his sublime"article"?
13583You, friend Emerson, are to be a Farmer, you say, and dig Earth for your living?
13583_ Varnhagen_ may be printed I think without offence, since there is need of it: if that will make up your fourth volume to a due size, why not?
13583and WHEREFORE?
13583and_ Mirabeau_ and_ Macaulay?_ Stearns Wheeler is very faithful in his loving labor,--has taken a world of pains with the sweetest smile.
13583canst thou not make a pulpit by simply_ inverting the nearest tub?_"yet, alas!
13583he has to fly again.--Did you get his letter?
13583in the whole circle of History is there the parallel of that,--a true worship rising at this hour of the day for Bands and the Shovel- hat?
13583my horror of_ Lecturing_ continues great; and what else is there for me to do there?
13583or What is your American rule?
13583was it you that defalcated?
13583what designs ripened or executed?
13583what hopes?
13583what thoughts?
