6970 | What,_ do trees eat?_you ask. |
6970 | Why do people eat? 6970 A child, did I say? 6970 A handful of charcoal- dust, and a few live embers between two layers of ashes, is enough for the whole day; which is economical, is it not? 6970 Accordingly, what happens in the long run to our great eaters and drinkers, whether in India or elsewhere? 6970 And I am obliged to own there is none in the milk itself; but, I daresay, you know curdled milk or_ rennet_? 6970 And even now is there nothing we have forgotten? 6970 And how long does it take to produce that rust- stain, even though it is probably not a hundredth part the size of the paper? 6970 And if we lift up the cuirass which encases it, what do we behold? 6970 And it is a very valuable maid that we have here: what would become of us without her? 6970 And now tell me what cottage roof in the world was ever built so as to be able to stand against such a weight? 6970 And now what do we find here, let me ask you, in this mutilated man, reduced to the soft portions of the trunk, whom I have been imagining? 6970 And now, my dear little pupil, to what conclusion do we come from all this? 6970 And then what happens? 6970 And what becomes of the rest? 6970 And what can throw a stronger light on our duties than a thorough acquaintance with ourselves? 6970 And what is the moral of our history to- day? 6970 And what is the office of a well- instructed porter? 6970 And when you take hold of a kitten or a bird, how do they feel? 6970 And who do you suppose is this audacious animal, which presumes to have an inside so like that of a pretty little girl? 6970 And who is the sufferer? 6970 And who suffered? 6970 And who, do you think, this sly goblin is? 6970 And yet what is his most gracious majesty to you to- day? 6970 And yet why not? 6970 Are you disappointed? 6970 Before the cook lights the fires the maid must go to market, must she not? 6970 Blood does not carry fire only into the muscles; he supplies them with nourishment also, does he not? 6970 But I ask why? 6970 But can you picture to yourself the distance which forty miles high really is? 6970 But how came it that the sheep''s blood had so large a stock of these materials? 6970 But if another man of equal strength were to push you at the same time on the other side, what would happen? 6970 But if nobody has seen this, say you, how can they know it for a fact? 6970 But if she has no bellows at hand, what does she do? 6970 But tell me further, if you please, what is tallow? 6970 But the next question is, what becomes of all the refuse which this perpetual destruction produces? 6970 But then I must push the question further, and ask-- How had you grown? 6970 But what do people make fires for? 6970 But what has all this to do with fishes? 6970 But what in the world am I talking about? 6970 But what is the indispensable thing which the blood obtains in his marketing? 6970 But what is to be done? 6970 But what-- you will ask-- is it going to do now at the heart, towards which it is on its road? 6970 But where am I leading you? 6970 But you are astonished, are you not? 6970 Can you tell me what it proceeds from? 6970 Can you tell me? 6970 Carbon 63 Hydrogen-- You can fill up this number yourself, can you not? 6970 Choose any place you please upon your body, and run the finest needle you can find into it what will issue from the puncture? 6970 Did you ever see a doctor try the pulse of his patient? 6970 Do I say nourished? 6970 Do you ask of what use it is? 6970 Do you ever recollect being very cold? 6970 Do you feel as I do, my dear child? 6970 Do you feel inclined to exclaim,Is this all?" |

6970 | Do you suppose that the palace of Versailles was illuminated in honor of this marriage? |
