38091If it has several elements, which is for you the most important?
38091If neither, why not call it true?
38091If other, then why not higher and bigger?
38091If so, how would your belief in God and your life toward Him and your fellow men be affected by loss of faith in the_ authority_ of the Bible?
38091If the duty of writing weighs so heavily on you, why obey it?
38091If you have had no such experience, do you accept the testimony of others who claim to have felt God''s presence directly?
38091If you would translate my lectures, what could make me happier?
38091Is God very real to you, as real as an earthly friend, though different?
38091Is it a real communion?
38091Is it( 1) A belief that something exists?
38091Is it( 1) From some argument?
38091Is this the day of your mother''s great and noble lunch?
38091It all comes, in my eyes, from too much philological method-- as a Ph.D. thesis your essay is supreme, but why do n''t you go farther?
38091Many magic dells and brooks?
38091Many views from hill- tops?
38091May the Yoga practices not be, after all, methods of getting at our deeper functional levels?
38091Moreover, when you come down to the facts, what do your harmonious and integral ideal systems prove to be?
38091Most men say of such a case,"Is the man deserving?"
38091Nevertheless I think I have been doing pretty well for a first attempt, do n''t you?
38091Now, J. C., when are you going to get at writing again?
38091Or are clearness and dapperness the absolutely final shape of creation?
38091Or are we others absolutely incapable of making our meaning clear?
38091Or do you not so much_ believe_ in God as want to_ use_ Him?
38091Shall I rope you in, Fanny?
38091Since our willing natures are active here, why not face squarely the fact without humbug and get the benefits of the admission?

38091Then Dreyfus, and perhaps Loubet, will be assassinated by some Anti- Semite, and who knows what will follow?
38091There is no escaping the risk; why not then admit that one''s human function is to run it?
38091This is splendid philology, but is it live criticism of anyone''s_ Weltanschauung_?
38091WHEN?
38091Was there ever an author of such emotional importance whose reaction against false conventions of life was such an absolute zero as his?
38091Well, I shall enjoy sticking a knife into its gizzard-- if atmospheres have gizzards?
38091What do you mean by God?
38091What do you mean by a"religious experience"?
38091What do you mean by"spirituality"?

38091or whether it might not have been much better than what came?
7789Ah, Doris, why are we leaving here? 7789 Albert is the man you are engaged to?
7789Am I not devoted to you? 7789 And I think it''s unkind of you to suggest that I should go back, for how can I go back?"
7789And strange, is it not,I said,"I did not admire you half as much when I knew you first?"
7789And to see you and not to claim you, not to hold your face in my hands just as one holds a vase, is----"Is what?
7789And to whom would this passage give offense?
7789And who is that hollow- chested man? 7789 And you are still engaged?"
7789And you like it, do n''t you dear?
7789And you''ll fall in love with some one else?
7789And, Doris, would you like me to be as content as that lizard-- to desire nothing more than light and warmth?
7789Are you disappointed?
7789As soon as you knew you loved him, you resolved to see him no more?
7789But did you get no happiness at all out of this great love?
7789But do you know any of these women?
7789But for what reason,I asked the expert,"do you suggest the elimination of this passage?
7789But how can a man confess such things?
7789But is he a legitimate descendant?
7789But what do you wish-- you would not have vice respected, would you?
7789But what help to us to know the true step of the gavotte?
7789But what shall we say in explanation? 7789 But what was she doing on the balcony?"
7789But who are these three women?
7789But who is Moreen Dhu? 7789 But who is she?
7789But why should I pity my mother? 7789 But why, dear, do you allow yourself to be unhappy?
7789But you do possess me, dear?
7789But you like Donald much better than Toby?
7789But, dear one, am I not your nymph of Orelay?
7789Can she live for five years?
7789Certainly not to any religious body?
7789Dearest, it might happen by accident, and were it to happen by accident what could you do?
7789Do n''t you remember, dear? 7789 Do n''t you think we might go to see the pictures?
7789Do you doubt it?
7789Do you love me as well as that?
7789Do you remember her story?
7789Do you remember the story of the other blind woman?
7789Do you think she''ll go to Russia?
7789Do you think so? 7789 Do you?...
7789Does n''t she look like my picture now?
7789For whom? 7789 Have you no other rooms?"
7789How is it that no ships come here? 7789 How long?"
7789How shall I escape from that vault?
7789How was that? 7789 I do n''t know if I told you that we are going to Italy next week?"
7789I see myself arriving sitting high up on the hump gathering dates-- I suppose there are date palms where you are? 7789 I suppose you''ve seen enough of the Elysée?"
7789I wonder if we should have stayed three days if we had not discovered these rooms? 7789 I''m sorry for that; perhaps if you knew me better----""Now you''re married, and I suppose Donald will come to Rome to fetch you?"
7789If you loved Ralph better than Albert----"Why did n''t I give up Albert? 7789 Ingres, did you say?
7789Is he a priest? 7789 Is he too clever for the public, or not clever enough?"
7789Is his music ever played? 7789 Is it not strange that, in the midst of reality, artistic conceptions always hang about me; but shall I ever possess you, Doris?
7789Is it then incurable?
7789Is n''t it awful?
7789Is n''t it?
7789Is n''t there?
7789Is this the garden of the Hesperides?
7789It does n''t suit me, but what am I to do? 7789 Mamma, dear, wo n''t you play us the''Impassionata''?"
7789Monsieur and Madame will go for a little walk; perhaps you would like to breakfast at one?
7789My dear, if I do n''t like it?
7789Nobody believes in cousins; shall we say we''re husband and wife?
7789Not even Donald?
7789Now why do you like the landscape? 7789 Now, my dear, are n''t you glad that you came to see them?
7789O death, where is thy sting?
7789Of what are you thinking, dear? 7789 Orelay?
7789Really?
7789Shall we breakfast in a private room?
7789So your mother knows nothing about your marriage?
7789Tell me about the woman who asked you to come here? 7789 The walk or the cathedral?"
7789Then there is no hope?
7789They do n''t know anything about singing,she whispered to me;"but what does that matter?
7789Was there ever anything so extraordinary as human nature? 7789 Were not the crocuses that grew Under that ilex tree, As beautiful in scent and hue As ever fed the bee?"
7789What bird can it be,I cried out,"that comes to interrupt my meditations?"
7789What did I say?
7789What do those folks matter to us?
7789What good would it be? 7789 What is the matter, dearest?"
7789What length of life do you give her?
7789What should bring me to see them again?
7789Which name shall give shelter to two unfortunate lovers flying in search of solitude?
7789Which way will you have it?
7789Who is she?
7789Whoever,I cried,"could have left these copies of the_ Athenaeum_ here?"
7789Whose verses are those?
7789Why are n''t you always like this?
7789Why not have your fiancé in here? 7789 Why not?
7789Why should I tell it?
7789Why should she go on like that, knowing well that we shall never see them again, never in this world?
7789Why should you not see her, dear?
7789Why,he asks,"should any one be interested in my stories any more than in the thousand and one stories published this year?
7789Will I not do as well as the painted creature in the museum?
7789Will you come for a walk?
7789With a pathos of loneliness in it?
7789Wo n''t you play, my dear?
7789Would you like to hear it? 7789 Would you like to see my bournous?"
7789Yes, but what does it matter what I like?
7789You ask me why I like the landscape? 7789 You do n''t know her?"
7789You liked the wine, dear, did n''t you? 7789 You play beautifully; why did you say you did n''t like Beethoven?"
7789You play the violin, do n''t you?
7789You sent him away before you yielded to him?
7789You''ll soon be back again?
7789Your wedding night?
7789''And what would art be without life, without love?''
7789''Unwreath''--do you mean unloose my hair?"
7789A_ concierge''s_ daughter-- you would n''t think it, would you?"
7789Albert was away; why should she not take this happiness which I offered her?
7789All this is twenty years ago, and is it not silly to spend the afternoon thinking of such rubbish?
7789Am I very cynical?
7789And does not that take us straight back to the dissolution of Society?
7789And he sings as he passes the_ concierge''s_ lodge, pitying the poor couple asleep-- what do they know of love?
7789And it was the madman that is in us all that was propelling me, or was it the primitive man who crouches in some jungle of our being?
7789And the question presented itself suddenly, Do women attach the same interest to love adventures as we do?
7789And this decadence-- was it her fault?
7789And we poor moderns have lived upon that beauty now well- nigh two thousand years?
7789And we walked down the platform talking, my talk full of gentle reproof-- why had she waited up?
7789And what became of Gertrude?
7789And what concern is it of hers that the phrase was borrowed from another poet?
7789And what did I feel?
7789And what did I see?
7789And what difference could it make to her?"
7789And what prevented you from coming here with her?"
7789And what story shall he write to complete his book, since it must be completed, it forming part of the procession of things?
7789And what was the image that rose up in my mind?
7789And where shall we find an example of courage equal to that of this blind woman coming to England to learn to be a masseuse?
7789And would a sensual_ dénouement_ be a better end than, let us say, that the lovers are caught in a shower as they leave the restaurant?
7789And, good Lord, who made the glass dome?"
7789Are n''t they nice?
7789Are the lines very wonderful?
7789Are they dead?"
7789Are they going to Bougeval?
7789Are you painting to- day?"
7789Are your''Memoirs''a pose?
7789As I sat watching the dissolving line of the horizon, lost in a dream, I heard my companion say:"Of what are you thinking?"
7789Be his talent great or little, he must ask himself who will care should he leave the last seven pillars unfinished?
7789But are we not all figures on drop- curtains, and is not everything comic opera, and"La Belle Hélène"perhaps the only true reality?
7789But he did n''t steal, did he?"
7789But how could such a thing matter?
7789But how to get all these vagrant thoughts into a sheet of paper?
7789But if he went to America, would he find content in a hunter''s life?
7789But if you admit the newspapers one day how can you forbid them on another occasion?
7789But in what picture?
7789But this is not a rupture; I may hope to see you some time during the season?
7789But what do you mean by''enchanted hair''?
7789But what is your standard of conduct?
7789But what shall I say of their beauty when the first faint lights appeared, when the first rose clouds appeared above the hills?
7789But when my brother proposed that we should walk there, I found some excuse; why go?
7789But where shall I go?
7789But who was this refined girl?
7789But who would impugn such selfishness?
7789But who would not be bewitched by the pretty sunlight that finds its way into the gardens of Plessy?
7789But why am I thinking of it at all?
7789But why describe a picture so well known?
7789But why do I address myself like this to the average moralist?
7789But why from Paradise?
7789But why talk of myself when there is Wagner''s experience to speak about?
7789By the beautiful but artificial word"yester- year"?
7789CHAPTER XII SUNDAY EVENING IN LONDON Married folk always know, only the bachelor asks,"Where shall I dine?
7789Ca n''t we devise something else?
7789Ca n''t you stay and talk to me, and later on we might sneak out together and go somewhere?...
7789Can nothing be done?"
7789Can the artist put by his dreams and find content in the hunter''s life?
7789Can you come now?
7789Can you refer me now to any other book of yours in which you view life steadily and view it whole from our standpoint?
7789Can you regard imperturbedly a thought of your own sister or wife passing through Doris''Orelay experience?"
7789Charlotte Corday stabbed Marat in his bath, yet who regards Charlotte Corday as anything else but a heroine?
7789Clementine, Margaret Byron?"
7789Could it be that this place was once country?
7789Did I ever read of a man who sent his mistress away so that his possession might be more complete?
7789Did he not write to Madame Wasendonck,"I owe you Tristan for all eternity"?
7789Did n''t somebody once describe him as a sort of sensual Christ?
7789Did not a great poet once say that God breathed into Adam?
7789Did she like to play with a man as a cat plays with a mouse?
7789Did she not tell that she was going back to America at the end of the week?
7789Did she think the town would vindicate or belie its name?
7789Did the suggestion that she should give him her garter come from her or from him?
7789Did you love her?
7789Do I at last look upon olives?"
7789Do I not exist in two countries?
7789Do n''t I remember the journalist''s voice when he asked Ninon''s lover if he sold his pictures, creating at once a bad impression?
7789Do n''t you like the feather boas reaching almost to the ground?
7789Do n''t you think so?
7789Do women ask themselves as often as we do if God, the Devil, or Calamitous Fate will intervene between us and our pleasure?
7789Do you ever see them now?
7789Do you know Biarritz?
7789Do you like them as well as the great high stand- up collars about three inches deep?
7789Do you recant all this?"
7789Do you remember that morning, a few days after we arrived?"
7789Do you think they would prove kinder than I?"
7789Does it not justify the seduction of any girl by any man?
7789Does it sell?
7789Does not that then fortify the common conviction that the moral is the best?
7789Does not this sentence read as if it were written in stress of some effusive febrile emotion, as if he wrote while still pursuing his idea?
7789Doris, this is ill news indeed; you would not have me consider it good news, would you?"
7789Fate is the only word that conveys any idea of it, for of what use to say that her hair was blond and thick, that her eyes were grey and blue?
7789For the brother- in- law?"
7789From human actions?
7789God himself summoned our first parents before him, and in what plight did they appear?
7789Had he written it?
7789Had not Byron declared the waltz to be"half a whore"?
7789Had she been taught to play it?
7789Had she not sacrificed the great love of her life in order that she might remain constant to Albert?
7789Had she not said that she did not mind my making love to her, but she did not like rights?
7789Has she a baby?
7789Have I not furnished myself with two sets of thoughts and sensations?
7789Have you, reader, ever seen any one enrolled in any of these orders?
7789He was a doctor, was n''t he?"
7789He would tell of the lighting arrangements, for are not flowers and lights incentives to immorality?
7789How are we to render it in English?
7789How can it be otherwise?
7789How can it be otherwise?
7789How can she be?
7789How could any one of these women interest the woman whose portrait I had seen in Barrès''s studio?
7789How could it apply to the place?
7789How could one be overpowered with grief amid so many distracting circumstances?
7789How could they break their moulds or their forms to go to the imaginative artists, the mould or the form being the gift of the imaginative artists?
7789How did she lose her pupils?"
7789How did you meet him?"
7789How does he live?
7789How get you your evidence?
7789How is it that an immoral book can become moral in three weeks?"
7789How many times did I walk round the gravel path, wearying of the unnatural green of the chestnut leaves and of the high kicking in the quadrilles?
7789How much of my mind do I owe to Paris?
7789How often have we heard the phrase''You will believe when you are dying''?
7789How shall I otherwise describe it, for it seemed to be all glass?
7789How shall I tell it?
7789How would he tell his tale?
7789How would you impose chastity upon all men, since every man brings a different idea into the world with him?
7789I asked her if she had been asleep?
7789I do assure you I feel the strain of these days; but what am I to do?
7789I had never failed in that love, and how could I love Ingres without loving him?
7789I hardly dare to think lest----""Lest what, dear?
7789I have never yet seen the olive; the olive begins at Avignon or thereabouts, does n''t it?
7789I have only to fix my thoughts to decipher-- what?
7789I mean, was he ever a priest?"
7789I must try to remember.... Puvis de Chavannes?
7789I remember you wrote a lot of letters-- how was it?"
7789I wonder if she expected him to marry her?"
7789I''ll meet you there to- morrow night.... Will you dine with me?
7789I''m always well at Montmartre, amn''t I, Victorine?"
7789If I do not go to her this year, shall I go next?
7789If the thing itself can not be suppressed, why is it worth while to interfere with the recollection?
7789If this be so, every race is mad on some point, for have we not often heard that what is true of the individual is true of the race?
7789Is everything open to any man?
7789Is it my delicious fate to spend three days with you in an old Roman town?"
7789Is it that my hair has enchanted you?
7789Is it to be expected, then, that having done that, she would put Albert aside and throw her lot in with mine?
7789Is n''t he nice?
7789Is n''t he satisfied?
7789Is n''t it strange that people never ask the embarrassing questions one foresees?
7789Is n''t she good?
7789Is she happy?
7789Is the bay looked upon as a mere ornament and reserved exclusively for the appreciation of visitors?
7789Is the fault with the translator or with Kant, who did not pick his words carefully?
7789Is the rest of her story unknown?
7789Is there a right and a wrong?
7789Is there no other payment?"
7789Is there one of her many lovers who brings flowers to her grave?
7789Is your life all of a piece?
7789It is like madness, but is it madder than Christian doctrine?
7789It is strange, Doris, that I should meet you here, for some years ago it was arranged that I should come here----""With a woman?"
7789Italians are nice, are they not?
7789Lest I should deceive you?"
7789Madame Ninon de Calvador-- what has become of her?
7789Madness has been defined as a lack of consequence in ideas, and can anything be less consequent than-- we need look no further back than Ibsen?
7789Marie Pellegrin is really part of my own story, so why should I have any scruple about telling it?
7789Merely because my friend had written it from hearsay?
7789Mr. Coote''s description of what he saw may be ingenuous, but is his description untrue?
7789My heart sank again, and when Doris said,"Where shall we sit?"
7789My mother must have fallen ill suddenly-- of what?
7789My thoughts run upon women, and why not?
7789No; well, then, why had she her fiddle- case with her?
7789Not by his music, I suppose?"
7789Now, have I said anything foolish?"
7789Now, how was it?
7789Oh, dear mamma, do you remember that lovely two- step?"
7789On one of these occasions, missing her from her place, I said:"Surely you have not allowed her to remain till this hour in the garden?"
7789On what would you have them run?
7789One of course says unjust things, one accuses a woman of cruelty; what could be the meaning of it?
7789Or do we think these things because man will not consent to die like a plant?
7789Or is it the sorrow of lilies rising through the languid air to the sky?
7789Or should he wear a violet or a grey necktie?
7789Or would her face be the same face if it were robbed of its mirth?
7789Perhaps you would like to sleep in mine?"
7789Remembering her interest in men, I said:"Did you see that man?
7789Say that you are my inheritance, my beautiful inheritance; how many years have I waited for it?"
7789Shall I ever see her again?
7789Shall I go to her now and see her in her decadence?
7789Shall I see you to- night?
7789Shall I spend two shillings in a chop- house, or five in my club, or ten at the Café Royal?"
7789Shall he get up and go?
7789Shall we say we''re cousins?"
7789She asked me if Armance were a village or a town, and I answered,"What matter?"
7789She does n''t know what eyes are, but she imagines them like-- what?
7789She liked the ordinary, and I have often wondered what was the link of association?
7789She sent for her brother- in- law----""To marry him?"
7789She was Schumann and Dresden, but a Dresden of an earlier period than Schumann; but why compare her to anything?
7789She was a singer, was n''t she?"
7789She was once rich, was n''t she?
7789She was sitting on a low chair, very ill indeed, and the voice, weak, but still young and pure, said:"Is that you, Kant?
7789Should we have mutton cutlets or lamb?
7789Slipping in the back way, and meeting the butler in the passage, I said:"How is she?"
7789So you heard about me at Alphonsine''s?
7789So you thought because I never read books now that I had never read any?
7789Strange, is it not, that I should remember a few words here and there?
7789Suddenly the aspect of a street struck me as a place I had known, and I said,"Is it possible that we are passing through Asnières?"
7789That hat I would put away----""Do n''t you like my hat?"
7789That view of a plain by Monet-- is it not facile?
7789The Brahman''s eyes would dilate; how can this thing be?
7789The accomplished story- teller cries,"But if there is to be no scene in the restaurant, how is the story to finish?"
7789The delights of the moment are perhaps behind me, but why should I feel sad for that?
7789The dusk has interrupted his labour, and he rises from his writing- table asking who will care whether the last stories are written or left unwritten?
7789The hedges in the time- worn streets of Fitzroy Square light up-- how the green runs along?
7789The master of Cologne, was it not?
7789The old man died two years ago, and his wife, who had lived with him for forty years, could not bear to live alone, so what do you think she did?
7789The seeing of the ghost might be put down to my fancy, but how explain the change in the wood-- was its mystery also a dream, an imagination?
7789The sight of those ancient columns quickened a new soul within me; or should I say a soul that had been overlaid began to emerge?
7789The vase might stand in the stone wall, and in the very corner where I learned to spin my top?
7789These sensual American women are like orchids, and who would hesitate between an orchid and a rose?
7789They say I''m very ill, do n''t they?
7789Thought of her?
7789Vincennes?
7789Was Goethe right in looking upon all women merely as subjects for experiment, as a means of training his aesthetic sensibilities?
7789Was it no more than her blonde hair drawn up from the neck, her fragrant skin, or her perverse subtle senses?
7789Was it not he who wrote that her hair was enchanted?
7789Was she echoing another''s thought?
7789Was the building of the Great Pyramid an act of madness?
7789Was the garter given in the cab when they returned from Vincennes, or was it given the next time they met in Paris?
7789Were the Pharaohs insane?
7789Were you never her lover?"
7789What better end, what greater glory than to be a fat chicken?
7789What easier to suppose than that it was_ la bourgeoise''s_ evening at home?
7789What else shall I say?
7789What has become of the two blind women you used to help?"
7789What is the good of going over it all again?"
7789What might her history be?
7789What shall we do all day?
7789What sort of a husband has she chosen?
7789What strange twist in his mind leads him to decry in art what he accepts in nature?
7789What time did he go to bed?
7789What will happen to her when he dies?
7789What would one think of oneself?
7789What would she be, for instance, if she were not a musician?
7789What-- is the story coming now?
7789When Gertrude mentioned it I had forgotten it; a blankness came into my face, and she said:''Do n''t you remember?''
7789Where is Hennique?
7789Where shall it be?"
7789Where should the vase be placed?
7789Whither are they going?
7789Who can be the owner of the house?
7789Who does not feel his destiny to be a romance, and who does not admire the ultimate island whither his destiny will cast him?
7789Who except a madman, asks the lawyer, would trouble to this extent as to what shall be done with his remains?
7789Who has not thought with admiration of the weaver- birds, and of our own native wren?
7789Who shall explain the mystery of love that time can not change?
7789Who then was responsible for his crimes?
7789Who then would, for the sake of Wasendonck''s honour, destroy the score of"Tristan"?
7789Who was that master who painted cunning virgins in rose bowers?
7789Who was this man?
7789Why ca n''t we remain here for ever?"
7789Why did I send that telegram from Lyons?"
7789Why do you seek to torment me?"
7789Why do you think that?"
7789Why is it cynical?"
7789Why is there no light?
7789Why mention it at all?
7789Why not at Orelay?"
7789Why should I break the spell of my meditations?
7789Why should I go to the cathedral unless to verify your impressions?
7789Why should it always be the friend?
7789Why should she not have love affairs?
7789Why should stories finish?
7789Why should they not stay to dinner?
7789Why was God angry?
7789Why was she not as agitated as I?
7789Why, then, should he look askance at my book, which is no more than memories of my spring days?
7789Will it be snatched out of our arms and from our lips?
7789Will she return to Boston?
7789Wo n''t you come in?
7789Would she like him better in his yellow or his grey trousers?
7789Would we have breakfast in the glass pavilion?
7789You can see me, reader, can you not?
7789You know what I have suffered from such pursuits; you know all about it?''
7789You remember how, years ago, I used to catch you doing acts of kindness?
7789You seem in passage after passage to be world- weary in a sense that no sane man ought to be, sated, disgusted, tired of life-- is it not so?
7789You will allow me to call about tea- time?''
7789You wo n''t give me away, will you?"
7789You would like to see that?"
7789You would n''t have me tell you to stay at my hotel and to compromise myself before all these people?"
7789You''re coming to sit to me the day after to- morrow?"
7789and how do you come by''natural goodness''if your moral is merely your customary?
7789but"Where shall I pass the hour before dinner?"
7789is she not a vile thing?"
7789on copper mines?
7789she asked;"''a true love''s truth or a light love''s art''?"
7789that life is no more than a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, and signifying nothing?"
7789what are those trees?
