976But how shall I ever find him,asked Theseus,"if the labyrinth so bewilders me as you say it will?"
976But is not this enough? 976 Did there really come any words out of the hole?"
976Did you see that flash of light?
976Do not you see you are lost, without me as your good angel? 976 Do you not know that this island is enchanted?
976Do you see it?
976Do you see? 976 Do you, indeed, my dear child?"
976Does it presume to be green, when I have bidden it be barren, until my daughter shall be restored to my arms?
976Does the earth disobey me?
976Does your majesty see his confusion?
976Foolish woman,answered Ceres,"did you not promise to intrust this poor infant entirely to me?
976Have they undergone a similar change, through the arts of this wicked Circe?
976Have you anything to tell me, little bird?
976Have you come so far to seek it,exclaimed Medea,"and do you not recognize the meed of all your toils and perils, when it glitters before your eyes?
976Have you forgotten what guards it?
976Have you seen a beautiful maiden, dressed like a king''s daughter, and mounted on a snow- white bull, that gallops as swiftly as the wind?
976How will you prevent me,asked Hercules,"from going whither I please?"
976Is it a wholesome wine?
976Is it much farther?
976Is it not a very pleasant stream?
976Must we wait long for harvest time?
976My child,said she,"did you taste any food while you were in King Pluto''s palace?"
976My pretty bird,said Eurylochus-- for he was a wary person, and let no token of harm escape his notice--"my pretty bird, who sent you hither?
976O brindled cow,cried he, in a tone of despair,"do you never mean to stop?"
976O my dear son,cried King Aegeus,"why should you expose yourself to this horrible fate?
976O my sweet violets, shall I never see you again?
976O, daughter of the Talking Oak,cried he,"how shall we set to work to get our vessel into the water?"
976O, where is my dear child?
976On what errand?
976Pray, nurse,the queen kept saying,"how is it that you make the child thrive so?"
976Sacred oracle of Delphi,said he,"whither shall I go next in quest of my dear sister Europa?"
976See if you can lift this rock on which we are sitting?
976That little bird, which met me at the edge of the cliff,exclaimed Ulysses;"was he a human being once?"
976Well, but, dear mother,asked the boy,"why can not I go to this famous city of Athens, and tell King Aegeus that I am his son?"
976What does this mean?
976What hast thou to do with an affair like this? 976 What in the world, my little fellow,"ejaculated Hercules,"may you be?"
976What is it?
976What is the matter, Jason?
976What is there to gratify her heart? 976 What is this wonder?"
976What kind of a monster may that be? 976 What mean you, little bird?"
976What says King Aetes, my royal and upright father?
976What shall I do,said he,"in order to win the Golden Fleece?"
976What shall I do?
976What''s all this?
976What''s your name? 976 What, then, shall I do?"
976What,said Hecate,"the young man that always sits in the sunshine?
976Whence come you, strangers?
976Where are your two and twenty comrades?
976Where is Proserpina?
976Where is my child? 976 Where was the sound, and which way did it seem to go?"
976Whither are you going in such a hurry, wise Ulysses?
976Whither are you going, Jason?
976Who are you, I say?
976Who are you?
976Who are you?
976Why do you come alone?
976Why should you be so frightened, my pretty child?
976Will he give you the Golden Fleece, without any further risk or trouble?
976Will not you stay a moment,asked Phoebus,"and hear me turn the pretty and touching story of Proserpina into extemporary verses?"
976Will the dog bite me?
976Will you trust the child entirely to me?
976Young man,asked he, with his stern voice,"are you not appalled at the certainty of being devoured by this terrible Minotaur?"
976And do n''t you see how careful we are to let the surf wave break over us every moment or two, so as to keep ourselves comfortably moist?
976And what do you think the snowy bull did next?
976And what is the message which you bring?"
976And whence could this bull have come?
976And, indeed, why not?
976Are not these gems, which I have ordered to be dug for you, and which are richer than any in my crown-- are they not prettier than a violet?"
976Are you an enchantress?"
976Are you not terribly hungry?
976But how can you help me to do the things of which you speak?
976But to test how much you have profited under so excellent a teacher, will you allow me to ask you a single question?"
976But, a little farther on, what should she behold?
976But, by the by, have you added any more legends to the series, since the publication of the''Wonder- Book''?"
976Can you guess who I am?
976Can you tell me what has become of my dear child Proserpina?"
976Could you help smiling, Prince Jason, to see the self- conceit of that last fellow, just as he tumbled down?"
976Did the roots extend down into some enchanted cavern?
976Do n''t you see I''m sleepy?
976Do you imagine that earthly children are to become immortal without being tempered to it in the fiercest heat of the fire?
976Do you see that tall gateway before us?
976Do you see this splendid crown upon my head?
976Dost thou not tremble, wicked king, to turn thine eyes inward on thine own heart?
976How are you, my good fellow?"
976How was the blessed sunshine to be thrown into them?
976How were they to be purified?
976I wonder what the blacksmith charged him for a set of iron shoes?
976Instead of his ordinary milk diet, did he not eat up two of our comrades for his supper, and a couple more for breakfast, and two at his supper again?
976Is it because I too am a king, that you desire so earnestly to speak with me?
976Is it not possible, at the risk of one''s life, to slay him?"
976Is there nothing which I can get you to eat?"
976May I not run down to the shore, and ask some of the sea nymphs to come up out of the waves and play with me?"
976Now, who do you imagine these two voyagers turned out to be?
976Or is he afraid of wetting his fine golden- stringed sandals?
976Pray what may I call your name?
976Pray, how big may your soul be?"
976Pray, what would you advise me to do with him?"
976Proserpina, did you call her name?"
976Shall I never hear them again?
976Shall we not rather compel him to leave his bones here on our soil, by the side of our slain brother''s bones?
976Tell me, for pity''s sake, have you seen my poor child Proserpina pass by the mouth of your cavern?"
976Tell me, you naughty sea nymphs, have you enticed her under the sea?"
976The gentle and innocent creature( for who could possibly doubt that he was so?)
976This showed some intelligence in the oak; else how should it have known that any such person existed?
976Was Theseus afraid?
976Were we to drown the world with them, could the world blame us?
976What are all the splendors you speak of without affection?
976What are kings made for, save to succor the feeble and distressed?
976What can I do with him?"
976What can we do to drive them away?"
976What do you think of this, my brave Jason?"
976What does he mean to do?
976What harm can the lady of the palace and her maidens do to mariners and warriors like us?"
976What will the king say to the one- sandaled man?"
976Whence has he come?
976Where are you all?
976Why did not I think of him before?
976Why do you come hither?
976Will you go with me you go with me, Phoebus, to demand my daughter of this wicked Pluto?"
976Will you not like to ride a little way with me, in my beautiful chariot?"
976and where did you receive your education?"
976do you smell the feast?
976do you think me so?"
976he exclaimed:"how came you by it?"
976if the fathers and mothers were so small, what must the children and babies have been?
976nor taste those nice little savory dishes which my dearest wife knew how to serve up?"
976thought Cadmus;"or have I been dreaming all this while?"
976was there ever such a gentle, sweet, pretty, and amiable creature as this bull, and ever such a nice playmate for a little girl?
976you have been gathering flowers?
9855''Dare you do it? 9855 ''How dare you do it?''
9855''Is he Echo? 9855 ''Where is he, Echo?''
9855A myth? 9855 And in the fall, Hilda?"
9855And was Venus a little girl or a woman? 9855 But the harp, mother; did n''t she ever find that?"
9855But who can tell Queen Ceres, her mother?
9855But who is King Neptune, and where does this ocean god live, mother?
9855But why did n''t tiger- lilies or some other big and showy flowers come, not these pretty little things?
9855Can you call it answering, Grace? 9855 Did n''t I tell you the mother never could see again her son or her husband?
9855Did you name my star yourself?
9855Do all the flowers have names, too, father?
9855Do n''t you know that this is Sunday on earth, when all must rest from work?
9855Do you know what the gods are doing to Baldur when you are not by?
9855Do you like olives, Harold?
9855How could Saturn bring them back, then?
9855How could the arrows be white when even the sun was darkened by the black- winged creatures?
9855Icarus, Icarus, where are you?
9855Oh, I know now what you mean by Frigga is the ground, is n''t she?
9855Oh, is that what it means?
9855Quicksilver? 9855 Shall I tell you a story?"
9855Venus? 9855 What color will it be in winter?"
9855What country were you studying about to- day, Harold?
9855What drinks from the brooks and wells, and from the stones on the bank?
9855What else did you find besides the windflowers, or anemones, boys?
9855What is it?
9855What is the name of this stone, then?
9855What makes you laugh at me, mother? 9855 What shall we do?"
9855What walks along the grass, steps on the edge of the fence, and walks along the sides of the reeds?
9855Where did all the flowers get their names? 9855 Where did you ever hear it called that, Mary?"
9855Who told you how to make this?
9855Why did you come to us? 9855 Why do n''t you join in the sport?"
9855Why do you abuse us?
9855Why, father, where did you learn all their names?
9855Why, mother, is that it? 9855 Yes, and the weeks never return either, do they, Mary?"
9855You have done the best you could; who could do better than that?
9855And if asked,"Who were they?"
9855And what did they do it for?"
9855And what makes you call a star_ her_?
9855Apollo saw the little fellow and, to tease him, asked:"What do you carry arrows for, saucy boy?
9855Are all shown each time?
9855Are clouds like curtains?
9855Are n''t they lovely?"
9855Are they ever like horses, cattle, sheep, or swans?
9855At last Earth cried in a husky voice to Jupiter, the ruler of the gods:"What have I done that this punishment should come?
9855But can you think of any day of the week that might be named after Saturn?"
9855But who wants to drink out of a frog pond?
9855Can you guess what they were?
9855Can you guess who Proserpina is?
9855Can you not see how these poor babies reach out their hands to you?"
9855Can you remember the name of the king of the sea?"
9855Can you see a bear up there in the sky?
9855Can you tell which days?"
9855Can you tell?
9855Did the ancients know the real truth concerning the distance, size, and nightly disappearance of the sun?
9855Did the teachers name them?"
9855Did you ever say that rhyme?
9855Did you ever see such a lovely one?"
9855Did you ever see them?
9855Did you ever think that the sunflower was once a lovely girl?
9855Did you want me?''
9855Did you, mother?
9855Do n''t they look like a bunch of big cherries?"
9855Do n''t you remember that at first they are a dull brown, and then, when they are about a year old, they begin to show a little green?
9855Do n''t you think so, mother?"
9855Do you dare to try such a task?"
9855Do you know how any of the cities got their names?"
9855Do you mean Venus is still alive?"
9855Do you remember the colors of the robes that Frigga wore?"
9855Do you remember what you heard out by the great rocks the day of the picnic?"
9855Do you see the meaning now?"
9855Do you think the ancient Greeks really believed the story of Phaeton?
9855Does his nose always point to the North Star, the same as the two pointers in the Big Dipper?"
9855Does it work quietly?
9855Does n''t he put away one of his children every twelve months?"
9855Does n''t that seem strange?
9855Does the king want them?"
9855Does the king want them?"
9855Has a rock a name?"
9855He was silent a moment, but then asked:"Have the stars names, too, father?
9855How could he?"
9855How did it get up there among the stars?
9855How many have seen the same colors on a soap bubble or elsewhere?
9855If anyone should tell you that the giant was winter, and his kettles the strangely shaped icebergs of the arctic North, would you believe it?
9855If you had been there and could have had your choice, what would you have wished for?
9855Is great power usually quiet?
9855Is it a beautiful country?"
9855Is the North Star the Bear''s eye?
9855Is the sun king of the hours, the days, the months, and the years?
9855Is the sun somewhere always shining?
9855JUNO''S BIRD, THE PEACOCK_ Roman_"Oh, is n''t it a pity the peacock does n''t know that he ca n''t sing?
9855JUPITER, GOD OF THE SOUTHERN SKY_ Roman_"Why do they call the eagle Jupiter''s bird, Miss Folsom?"
9855Man walks the earth a conqueror, but should the gift of fire be taken from him, how would he then teach the lower animals that he is their master?
9855Now tell me about Greece, wo n''t you, please?
9855Now, do you see that Thor''s day comes when Woden''s day goes?
9855Oh, here is another kind of stone; what is this?"
9855Only a baby; how could he?"
9855Quicker than a flash from his father''s crown came the question from Phaeton:"Will you let me for one day drive your chariot?"
9855Really is it granite?
9855THE GIFT OF THE OLIVE TREE_ Greek_"Has everything a name, father?"
9855THE GREAT BEAR IN THE SKY_ Greek_"Oh mother, what do you think?
9855THE LITTLE WIND- GOD_ Greek_"What is it in the thermometer that shines so, mother?"
9855The Little Bear?
9855The Sun, seeing him with the eye that sees everything, asked:"Why are you here?"
9855Then Ralph whispered,"We know it was only a myth, do n''t we?"
9855WHERE THE FROGS CAME FROM_ Roman_ You see the sun every bright day, do n''t you?
9855Was he a real person, Miss Folsom?"
9855Was n''t that queer?"
9855What are they?"
9855What can his be?"
9855What can_ you_ do?"
9855What causes dark or dull days?
9855What color is the lawn?"
9855What colors of the prism are shown most in sunset or sunrise?

9855What made you call her Venus?"
9855What shapes do clouds take?
9855What was it?"
9855What was to be done?
9855What would you think if I should tell you that ever so many people call it the Great Bear?"
9855Where did you say you found them?"
9855Where is the Great Bear?
9855Which one shall I answer first?"
9855Who among us has not regretted his lack of knowledge of some mythical person, in song, picture, or story?
9855Who is Venus, mother?
9855Who let you free from your rock prison?''
9855Who named her?
9855Why did n''t the people who named the days give them numbers instead of names?
9855Why does n''t he stop that fearful screeching?"
9855Why is it dark?
9855Why is it dark?
9855Why should he wait?
9855Will the new one have a name?"
9855Will you try to remember it?"
9855Will you, dear?"
9855Wo n''t you watch for it to- night with me?"
9855Would n''t it have been a lovely sight to see?
9855Would you like that?"
9855Would you like to hear it?
9855Yes, there is Thor''s day, or Thursday, but what is the other?"
9855You have his picture, too, have n''t you?"
9855You have surely seen his picture, Ethel?"
9855You remember that beautiful head of Minerva, which is near my book- shelf, do you not?
9855You told me about Orion, now you will tell me about the two bears, wo n''t you?"
9855[ Illustration: FRIGGA, THE MOTHER OF THE GODS]"Does Hilda guess what my story means?"
9855[ Illustration: NEPTUNE]"What did the sailors do, mother?"
9855said the old woman,"have all things promised not to hurt Baldur?"
9855surely that is the one, is n''t it?"
17964A drive, two brassies, an approach, and forty puts, I presume?
17964A very useful function that, Sambo; and where were you born?
17964About how far is it?
17964An unpleasant post, that?
17964And Actæon? 17964 And are they handy?"
17964And do you always permit your patients to put them on?
17964And does he do this sort of thing often?
17964And how about the bicycle?
17964And how about the wings?
17964And how did she take it?
17964And how long may your hours be? 17964 And how, may I ask, do the caddies find a ball that goes seventy- five miles?"
17964And husband of the delectable Psyche?
17964And the patient dies?
17964And this coffee, Memnon? 17964 And what, Memnon,"said I,"is the peculiarity of eggs_ Midas_?"
17964And what, pray, is his function? 17964 And which would you prefer?"
17964And who, pray,I queried,"takes your place while you are below?"
17964And you lose in spite of that splendid-- er-- stroke?
17964And, ah, whither do you elevate, my lad?
17964And-- wha-- wha-- what becomes of all this when I get back home?
17964Beggar?
17964But I say, Adonis,I added,"did I understand you to say that you played all around Mars?"
17964But are you sure it is in your side, or is n''t it your chest that aches a trifle, eh?
17964But how about yourself, my laddie? 17964 But how does it come that if you are only statuary, you can move about, and talk, and breathe?"
17964But how long will it take Midas to fit me out?
17964But how shall I ever repay the office?
17964But tell me, Adonis,I continued,"who is your amateur champion?"
17964But the separation, my dear boy?
17964But what of that? 17964 But whom do you wish to see?"
17964But your side does n''t ache at all?
17964Cigar or cigarette?
17964Costly?
17964Do n''t they rebel?
17964Do they allow bathing in that?
17964Do you wish the news, sir?
17964Doctor who?
17964Does n''t Callisto ever have a Sunday out, for instance?
17964Does n''t she ever let''em off?
17964Feel better right away, eh?
17964Getting there seems to be an easy matter, but after you get there, how about the course? 17964 Good, is it?"
17964H''m-- what''s that, Memnon?
17964Have I?
17964Have some regard for my position, wo n''t you?
17964Have we links?
17964Have you many similar ventures?
17964Having a good season, Memnon?
17964He''s not handsome, is he?
17964He''s your idea of a competent driver, eh? 17964 High or low?"
17964How are things with you to- day?
17964How do they carry the bags?
17964How do you do?
17964How many is that in mortal figures?
17964How many volumes?
17964How much do I owe you, doctor?
17964How would you like to loop the loop out here?
17964I''ll call you Pencillius, god of Chirography-- or would you rather come as Nonsensius, the newly discovered deity of Jocosity?
17964Indeed?
17964Indeed?
17964Is n''t it magnificent?
17964Is n''t it rather higher up-- in your throat, instead of your chest?
17964Is the Trojan Horse here?
17964Mars is four thousand miles round, is n''t it?
17964Me?
17964Midas?
17964Must I wear those?
17964No hard drinks, eh?
17964North Carolina, or Georgia?
17964Not the home of the gods?
17964Nothing the matter there, eh?
17964Of course not-- why should he? 17964 Of whom?"
17964Oh-- I''m to go to the links, eh? 17964 One jovillion, eh?"
17964Paraffine?
17964Pardon me, but-- ah-- what is your profession when at home?
17964Political or merely family?
17964Ready?
17964See that?
17964Shall I play two?
17964Shall we-- ah-- walk back to Athens now, or would you prefer to rest here for the night?
17964She-- ah-- couldn''t keep a secret?
17964Sneak- livered poltroon, eh? 17964 So they''ve made you a valet, have they?"
17964That is n''t golf, is it?
17964The automobile is in competent hands, eh?
17964The lost island of Atlantis here?
17964The what?
17964Then he sets fire to things, and altogether he''s an expensive beast Are n''t you, Fido?
17964Then what, in the name of Jupiter, is the matter with you?
17964Then your medical principles are based on what, doctor?
17964They''re just heads with wings, are n''t they?
17964Upper or lower?
17964Want them?
17964Was n''t he?
17964Well,said the Major Domo, as we proceeded back to my quarters,"did he receive you nicely?"
17964Well-- literary men never care what they wear so long as they attract attention, do they?
17964Well?
17964What do I do? 17964 What do you drive with?
17964What do you pay them a round?
17964What do you think you think?
17964What do you want to see him for? 17964 What is this, Memnon?"
17964What mountain is it, Hippopopolis?
17964What of that?
17964What on earth have you done?
17964What particular god do you happen to be, Sambo?
17964What was that?
17964What will he think of me?
17964What''s that last? 17964 What?
17964What?
17964What?
17964What?
17964What?
17964Who dat, Topsy?
17964Who?
17964Whose caddy are you?
17964Whose?
17964Why do n''t you fool him sometimes?
17964Why do you ask?
17964Why not? 17964 Why not?"
17964Why not?
17964Why should you wish to?
17964Would you care for anything more, sir?
17964Wrong room? 17964 Yes-- why not?"
17964You are-- the elevator boy?
17964You call that handy, do you?
17964You have never seen these people, Hippopopolis?
17964You see those huge steel affairs on either side of the course, that look like the ventilators on an ocean steamer?
17964You will, I trust, be good enough to stand guard lest some of these gods you have mentioned come and pick my pockets?
17964_ Have_ you?
17964''Would you like to have''em?''
17964Am I as bad as that?"
17964And not in your throat?"
17964Are you anybody in particular?
17964Beggar?"
17964Ca n''t you see that?"
17964Can he teach me how to drive a ball seventy- five miles?"
17964Dan?"
17964Did n''t he tell you?
17964Do n''t you find me good company?"

17964Let''s see, I was two up, was n''t I?"
17964Look at that card over there, and tell me--""What nonsense is this, doctor?"
17964Makes a very pretty tree, eh?"
17964Maybe I''m an unmitigated nuisance, an exasperating and egregious glum, a carking care, and a pestiferous pill, eh?"

17964No offence, I hope?"

17964Why, I''ai n''t never been borned at all, sah--""Jess growed, eh-- like Topsy?"
17964Yet who can really repay him for all that he does for us when by his skill alone we are rescued from peril?
17964You certainly are not so green as to suppose that that suit he wears in his statues is the whole extent of his wardrobe?"
17964You did n''t think you were going into Jupiter''s presence in those golf duds, did you?"
17964You do n''t believe you deceive your physician, do you?"
17964You get your coffee from the dairy?"
17964You have a pain in your side?"

46063who was the alien woman that I beheld in my sleep?
46063within the heart of this great flight, Whose ivory arms hold up the golden lyre?
46063Æneas, wondering at the sight, asked the Sibyl,"Why this discrimination?"
30332And thou poor wretch, what god hath led thee here? 30332 Black- haired like me,"said Psyche stammering, And looking round,"what say I?
30332But since the sight of thee mine eyes did bless, What can I be but thine? 30332 Come hither, damsels, and the pearl behold That hath no price?

30332Go then, O Son, and if by some short span Thy life be measured, how shall it harm thee, If while life last thou art a happy man? 30332 Nay,"said Admetus,"if thou call''st me wise, And like a very god thou dost me deem, Shall I abide the ending of the dream And so gain nothing?
30332O love,she said,"dost thou fear death?
30332Psyche,he said,"if my heart tells me right, This thy desire may bring us bitter woe, For who the shifting chance of fate can know?
30332Swift death, to be with thee a day and night And with the earliest dawning to be slain? 30332 What answered I?
30332What man art thou?
30332What matter? 30332 What more?
30332Wilt thou not save me? 30332 Wilt thou then grant it?"
30332A tale half true, to cast across our mirth Some pensive thoughts of life that might have been; Where is he now, that all this life has seen?
30332Ah, what was this?
30332All was grown a dream His work was over, his reward was come, Why should he loiter longer from his home?
30332And found this lonely chamber where I dwell?
30332And if the gods care not for you, What is this folly ye must do To win some mortal''s feeble heart?
30332And then----Who knoweth certainly What haps to us when we are dead?
30332And this was Ogier: on what evil day Has he then stumbled, that he needs must come, Midst war and ravage, to the ancient home Of his desires?
30332And thou-- art thou not brave?
30332And who art thou?"
30332And yet who knows but she may get a fall?
30332And yet, indeed, how should he live alone, Who in the old past days such friends had known?
30332And yet-- was death not much rememberéd, As still with happy men the manner is?
30332Art thou so lost in this abyss of fear, Thou canst not weep thy misery and shame?
30332Art thou then sorry for this long- wished day, Or dost thou think perchance thou wilt not keep This that thou holdest, but in dreamy sleep?
30332As for the man, who knows what things he bore?
30332Because against the early- setting sun Bright show the gilded boughs though waste and bare?
30332Because the robin singeth free from care?
30332But again she said,"Nay, will dreams burden such a mighty head?
30332But as his cheek touched hers he heard her say,"Wilt thou not speak, O love?
30332But as she spoke, her honied voice Trembled, and midst of sobs she said,"O love, and art thou still afraid?
30332But by what road Have ye been brought to this my new abode?"
30332But if my life by iron shall be done, What steel to- day shall glitter in the sun?
30332But''midst these fair things, on that morning sweet, How could she, weary creature, find a place?
30332Canst thou not even speak thy shameful name?"
30332Canst thou not love me, then, who wrought thy woe, That thou the height and depth of joy mightst know?"
30332Did I forget thee in the days gone by?
30332Do the brown Indians glitter down the ways With rubies as of old?
30332For what immortal yet shall shelter thee From her that rose from out the unquiet sea?"
30332For what to him was Juno''s well- wrought hem, Diana''s shaft, or Pallas''olive- stem?
30332Had he then gained the very Paradise?
30332Hast thou forgotten how love lives by this, The memory of some hopeful close embrace, Low whispered words within some lonely place?"
30332Have I not been from thee a weary while?
30332Have we been happy on our day of rest?
30332Here then, O June, thy kindness will we take; And if indeed but pensive men we seem, What should we do?
30332How have you heart to come before me here?
30332I try to think of it in vain, My lyre is but attuned to tears and pain, How shall I sing the never- ending day?
30332If on the wall his armour still hang up, While for a spear I hold a drinking- cup?"
30332Is the ancient home Still standing?
30332Must I be quite undone, and wilt thou draw A worse fate on me than the first one was?
30332Nay, does he live yet?
30332No longer can I think upon the earth, Have I not done with all its grief and mirth?
30332O June, O June, that we desired so, Wilt thou not make us happy on this day?
30332O brooder on the hills of heaven, When for my sin thou drav''st me forth, Hadst thou forgot what this was worth, Thine own hand had made?
30332O love, why hast thou brought me unto this?''
30332Or better, a long year of great delight, And many years of misery and pain?
30332Or do ye weep these tears for shame that ye Have told him not of my felicity, To make me weep amidst my new- found bliss?
30332Or has thy wife been carried over sea?
30332Or hast thou done an ill deed unto me?
30332Or hast thou on this day great need of gold?
30332Or if''tis true that Andelys succour wants?
30332Or worse, and this poor hour for all my gain?
30332Seest thou how tears still follow earthly bliss?"
30332She loosed his hand, but yet the King Said,"Yea, and I may go with thee?
30332So in few days what man shall know The needy Scholar, seeing me Great in the place where great men be, The richest man in all the land?
30332Stammering he said,"Who art thou?
30332That Vernon''s folk are fleeing east to Mantes?
30332Then Pelias said,"What can I give to thee Who fail''st so little of divinity?
30332Then both her white arms round his neck she threw And sobbing said,"O love, what hurteth me?
30332Then loud laughed Atys, and he said again,"Father, and did this ugly dream tell thee What day it was on which I should be slain?
30332Then, kneeling down, she murmured piteously,"Ah, wilt thou love me if I give it thee, And thou grow''st young again?
30332Therewith the King beheld that crowd Howling and dusk, and cried aloud,"What do ye, warriors?
30332This longing for a hopeless love, No sighing from his heart could move?
30332Thou hearkenest, love?
30332Until at last he''gan to deem That all might well have been a dream-- Yet why was life a weariness?
30332What do we in this land of Death and Fear?
30332What dreamed caresses from soft hands and white, Turning to horrors ere they reached the best, What struggles vain, what shame, what huge unrest?
30332What god shall we d her rather?
30332What hast thou done?"
30332What help could Hermes''rod unto him give, Until with shadowy things he came to live?
30332What joy was this that filled his heart anew?
30332What man is this, who weak and worn and old Gives up his life within that dreadful isle, And on the fearful coming death can smile?
30332What man was there, whose face changed not for grief At hearing this?
30332What matter?
30332What meant this sting of sharp distress?
30332What navy, whose rent bones lie wretchedly Beneath these cliffs?
30332What part have I in these unthinking joys?"
30332What riddles wilt thou speak unto me now?"
30332What then, and shall white winter ne''er be done Because the glittering frosty morn is fair?
30332What wilt thou have?
30332What wonder that the gods are glorious then, Who can not feel the hates and fears of men?
30332What words he said?
30332What, thinkest thou that utterly in vain Jove is my sire, and in despite my will That thou canst mock me with thy beauty still?
30332When will they come?
30332Where is he now?
30332Who knoweth when our linkéd life shall end, Since thou art come unto mine arms at last, And all the turmoil of the world is past?
30332Why should we part?
30332Why weepest thou?
30332Wilt thou, then, help?
30332Yet, since with pain deliverance I have bought, Hast thou not yet some gift in store for me, That I thine happy slave henceforth may be?"
30332although the morn shall come again, And on new rose- buds the new sun shall smile, Can we regain what we have lost meanwhile?
30332and hast thou been awake For them indeed?
30332and hast thou lost A life of love, and must thou still be tossed One moment in the sun''twixt night and night?
30332and how long Shall weak folk hold in check the strong?
30332and is there shelter anywhere Upon the green flame- hiding earth?"
30332and was it all in vain, That she had brought him here this life to gain?
30332and when will this go by And leave my soul in peace?
30332art thou dead indeed?
30332can thy heart fail, Whose eyes e''en now are weeping at my tale?
30332canst thou have any mind To give thy banner once more to the wind?
30332did he grow weary then, And wish to strive once more with foolish men For worthless things?
30332didst thou hear voices sing Ere to the risen sun the bells''gan ring?
30332do such men as ye Fight with the wasters from across the sea?
30332do the galleys throng the quays?
30332for wherefore wilt thou die, Why should we not be happy, thou and I?
30332for who knoweth__ What thing cometh after death?_ ILLE.
30332for who knoweth__ What thing cometh after death?_ ILLE.
30332he cried,"why have I made thee then, That thus thou mockest me?
30332he said,"what mockery then is this That thou wilt speak to me of earthly bliss?
30332how came we here?
30332how could it be Can a god give a god''s delights to thee?
30332if one ever gave His life to any, mine I give to thee; Come, tell me what the price of love must be?
30332in what land must he die, To leave an empty name to us on earth?
30332is our father dead?
30332it pleaseth thee, his kiss?
30332livest thou my words to heed?
30332must I still dream Of life that once so dear a thing did seem, That, when I wake, death may the bitterer be?
30332nay, since all things must die, And I have dreamed not of eternity, Why weepest thou that I must die to- day?
30332or is fair Avallon Sunk in the sea, and all that glory gone?
30332said she,"Or yet beneath it is there peace for me?
30332she said,"can death make folk so vile?
30332should I die?
30332the King said to him then,"That in such guise thou prayest on thy knee; Hast thou some fell foe here among my men?
30332then, opening his eyes wide, And rising on his elbow, gazed around, And strange to him and empty was the sound Of his own name;"Whom callest thou?"
30332thou know''st perchance what thing love is?
30332what land was this he woke unto?
30332what mean you, sister?"
30332what sayest thou?
30332what shall I do?
30332what ships upon an evil day Bent over to the wind in this ill sea?
30332what should I do If with the eyes thou thus shalt gain anew Thou shouldst look scorn on me?"
30332what should I do if she were gone?"
30332what wilt thou do?
30332what wouldst thou have?
30332whatever now may hap, How can I''scape the ill which waiteth me?
30332who in my arms asleep Mightst well have been; for their sakes didst thou weep, Who mightst have smiled to feel my kiss on thee?
30332why dost thou weep?
30332why tremblest thou with fear, While I am trembling with new happiness?
30332wilt thou leave me then without one kiss, To slay the very seeds of fear and doubt, That glad to- morrow may bring certain bliss?
30332wilt thou not let me die?
41765Aimest thou at princes?
41765And can not you rest the sky upon a mountain?
41765And do you know,asked the damsel who had first spoken,"that a terrible dragon, with a hundred heads, keeps watch under the golden apple tree?"
41765And how long a time,asked the hero,"will it take you to get the golden apples?"
41765And how soon shall I be strong enough?
41765And my poor companions,said Ulysses,"have they undergone a similar change through the arts of this wicked Circe?"
41765And pray who may the Old One be?
41765And what of it?
41765And what on earth can be inside of it?
41765And where did it come from?
41765And why not?
41765And you will stay with us,asked Epimetheus,"for ever and ever?"
41765Are such as these fit weapons for chits?
41765Are you awake, Prince Theseus?
41765Art mocking me? 41765 But can I do nothing to help them?"
41765But can you show me the way to the garden of the Hesperides?
41765But how shall I ever find him?
41765But who gave it to you?
41765But why should you complain of the javelin?
41765Can you tell me, pretty maidens,asked the stranger,"whether this is the right way to the garden of the Hesperides?"
41765Did there really come any words out of the hole?
41765Do you not believe,said he, looking at the damsels with a smile,"that such a blow would have crushed one of the dragon''s hundred heads?"
41765Do you not know that this island is enchanted? 41765 Does your Majesty see his confusion?"
41765Fools,he cried,"will ye let yourselves be cheated?
41765For what new exploit does he demand our aid, what deed does he not dare to venture till he league our charmed fortune with his own?
41765Have you anything to tell me, little bird?
41765How came you by it?
41765How hast thou dared to wander so far from the haunts of men?
41765How, then, can I tell you what is inside?
41765If it wearies me so much in ten minutes, how must it have wearied him in a thousand years?
41765If the city of Megara is indeed defended by the deathless gods,said they,"what avails it to fight and to strive?"
41765Is it a wholesome wine?
41765Is it true that he hath many times swum across the sea and visited thee?
41765Is my son here?
41765Is the sky very heavy?
41765Is there something alive in the box? 41765 Just take the sky upon your head one instant, will you?
41765Many hath the sea- beast slain,she pleaded;"and why should he slay thee?
41765May I ask,he inquired,"from what tree the javelin thou art holding was cut?
41765My dear Epimetheus,cried Pandora,"have you heard this little voice?"
41765My pretty bird,said Eurylochus-- for he was a wary person, and let no token of harm escape his notice--"my pretty bird, who sent you hither?
41765Oh mortal, overbold,he asked,"how durst thou come down living to the realms of the dead?"
41765Oh, brindled cow,cried he, in a tone of despair,"do you never mean to stop?"
41765Pandora, what are you thinking of?
41765Pray, what do you want with me?
41765Pray, who are you, beautiful creature?
41765Sacred oracle of Delphi,said he,"whither shall I go next in quest of my dear sister Europa?"
41765See you,he said,"that youth leaning on a pointless spear?
41765Shall I lift the lid again?
41765So you have got the golden apples?
41765Still burns thy rage? 41765 Tecmessa,"he asked,"where is our boy?"
41765Tell me,cried he, before the Old One was well awake,"which is the way to the garden of the Hesperides?"
41765That little bird, which met me at the edge of the cliff,exclaimed Ulysses;"was he a human being once?"
41765Then if no man does thee harm, why these complaints?
41765Well, but, dear mother,asked the boy,"why can not I go to this famous city of Athens, and tell King Ægeus that I am his son?"
41765What ails thee, child?
41765What can it be?
41765What can that be?
41765What do you want there?
41765What fault is there in it?
41765What hast thou seen from thy mountain- top?
41765What hast thou to do with an affair like this? 41765 What kind of a monster may that be?
41765What mean you, little bird?
41765What message can our good brother Amasis have for us?
41765What sayest thou?
41765What shall I do?
41765What sort of a staff had he?
41765What will Epimetheus say? 41765 What, then, shall I do?"
41765Whence can the box have come?
41765Where are your two- and- twenty comrades?
41765Wherefore come you hither, friends?
41765Whither are you going in such a hurry, wise Ulysses?
41765Whither dost thou hasten, Arethusa?
41765Who are you, inside of this naughty box?
41765Who are you?
41765Who art thou who would''st speak with me?
41765Who, and whence are ye?
41765Why do you come alone?
41765Why do you squeeze me so hard? 41765 Why dost thou stand there pale and silent?
41765Why these tears? 41765 Why,"it whispered,"this wild grief?
41765Would you like to know the fate of this other present-- the dog? 41765 Wretch,"cried Circe, giving him a smart stroke with her wand,"how dare you keep your human shape a moment longer?
41765Young man,asked he, with his stern voice,"are you not appalled at the certainty of being devoured by this terrible Minotaur?"
41765Am I permitted to see thy face and hear thy well- known voice once more?"
41765And Julius cried out:"Ah, my lord, wherefore hast thou left thy city in such sorrow?
41765And again:"Whither dost thou hasten?"
41765And almost the first question which she put to him, after crossing the threshold, was this:"Epimetheus, what have you in that box?"
41765And how can I possibly tie it up again?"
41765And on that island, what do you think he saw?
41765And pray, bold stranger, what do you want there?"
41765And shall I now turn back from a beast of the sea?"
41765And the king of the infernal gods asked:"What wouldst thou, mortal, who darest to enter unbidden this our realm of death?"
41765And what do you think the snowy bull did next?
41765And what is the message which you bring?"
41765And whence could this bull have come?
41765And whence do you come in that little cup?"
41765And, as they stood there, cheek touching cheek, he heard her say,"Why art thou silent, O my love?
41765And, indeed, why not?
41765Are ye so slow of heart as not to detect Greek subtlety or the guile of Ulysses?
41765As no one came, Narcissus called again,"Why do you shun me?"
41765At this marvel his heart bounded wildly; but as the flame died down he said to himself,"Is not this another brain- sick phantom?"
41765But Alpheus, noting the guile of the goddess, laughed aloud, for could he not at will become even as his own river?
41765But say, how and where came ye on our shore?"
41765But was it really and truly an old man?
41765But what availed it?
41765But what were the closest of human ties when the god had spoken?
41765But what were they among so many?
41765But when he saw Æneas moving to meet him, with outstretched arms and tearful eyes he cried:"O my son, my son, hast thou come to me indeed?
41765But where was Priam the while?
41765Can I have heard thee aright?
41765Can brave souls bear malice e''en after death?"
41765Can it be that a dumb creature mourns for what Noman and his hateful band have done to its lord?
41765Can not I carry the golden apples to the king, your cousin, much quicker than you could?
41765Can not the great goddess be appeased without this innocent victim?"
41765Do I hear the voices of nymphs, or dryads, or of human maids?"
41765Do you, then, love this king, your cousin, so very much?"
41765Dost think, perchance, that this too is a dream?
41765Dost thou forget thy mother and all her care for thee and thine?
41765Dost thou indeed understand what thou sayest, fair maiden?"
41765Dost thou not tremble, wicked king, to turn thine eyes inward on thine own heart?
41765Ever and anon he would ask,"Where is Teucer?
41765From the lover who could follow her even hither why should she fly?
41765Had she missed the road, or had she fainted on the way?
41765Has any man found means to hurt thee?
41765Hast thou ever caught a glimpse of him?"
41765Hast thou indeed forsaken forever all those who love thee?"
41765Have I not prayed, have I not wept, have I not done thee true service?
41765Have the jealous gods rejected the sacrifice?"
41765Have we labored for nothing these nine weary years?
41765Have you never made the sunshine dance into dark corners by reflecting it from a bit of looking- glass?
41765He talked with the supposed spirit:"Why, beautiful being, do you shun me?
41765Hector himself could not save us now; what can thy feeble arms avail?
41765Her sisters were obeying their father''s command, and dared she alone be disobedient?
41765How could he bring himself to desert the Queen whose heart he had won, and break his troth?
41765How could he disobey the voice of the god?
41765How could the business of the realm go on without the King''s recognized seal to set upon his ordinances?
41765How shall I make him believe that I have not looked into the box?"
41765How thinkest thou?
41765If I should lose you too, as well as my little Europa, what would become of me?"
41765If any such misfortune were to happen, how could he ever get rid of the sky?
41765Is aught amiss?"
41765Is he a son, or haply a grandson?"
41765Is it an inspiration of heaven or only my own fiery spirit, pent up within these walls and fretting for the fray?
41765Is it because I too am a king, that you desire so earnestly to speak with me?
41765Is it not possible, at the risk of one''s life, to slay him?"
41765Is it possessed by fierce barbarians who will slay, or by men who will prove pitiful?
41765Is not Teucer returned?
41765Is that a dagger in thy left hand?"
41765Is this not Protesilaus, then, who seems to stand before me?"
41765Know ye not the prophecy of Calchas, that in the tenth year, and not before, Troy was destined to fall?
41765Never have I known fairer or gentler man than thou, and why should''st thou die?
41765Now she could feel his hard breathing in her long hair; was there no escape?
41765One day the youth, being separated from his companions, shouted aloud,"Who''s here?"
41765Or could it be the beating of her heart?
41765Or has some one been robbing thee by force or fraud?"
41765Or was it merely the singing in Pandora''s ears?
41765Pray, what would you advise me to do with him?"
41765Seven years hath thy mother awaited thy homecoming, and shall her eyes see thee nevermore?"
41765Shall I never hear them again?
41765Shall I not share thy triumph or thy death?
41765Shall this man snatch from you your brides and rule in peace on the throne which he hath stolen?
41765Shall two perish instead of one?
41765She had told Leander that the light was the signal that her office was ended for the day-- would he notice it?
41765She waylaid her father as he went to the Council of the Elders and cried to him:"Father dear, may I have the high wain and the mules to- day?
41765Should he obliterate the world- famous fresco of his banquet hall, or slay the most beautiful of his slaves?
41765Should he sacrifice his favorite singer, his most gifted painter?
41765Should her love be weaker than his?
41765Strong- limbed art thou and brave; but what mortal shall stand against that strength?
41765The courtiers whispered together in fear:"What can this mean?
41765The gentle and innocent creature( for who could possibly doubt that he was so?)
41765Then Minerva answered:"Wilt thou, great sire, rescue a man whom Fate has appointed to die?
41765Then said King Minos coldly:"What wilt thou with me, maiden?"
41765Then said Menelaus to Calchas:"Is there no other way?
41765Then Æneas asked:"What youth is he, O father, who walks by his side in shining armor; but his countenance is sad, his eyes fixed upon the ground?
41765They were childless and without hope of children, and if one of them were to die, how could the other live on?
41765Thinkest thou, brother, alone to put thy head into the lion''s mouth?
41765Thy name?"
41765To save himself by flight was unthinkable, but should he rush at once on certain death?
41765Was Theseus afraid?
41765What angry gods have led thee, alive, to be companion of the dead?
41765What harm can the lady of the palace and her maidens do to mariners and warriors like us?"
41765What harm can there be in opening the box?
41765What if she gave this tunic to the messenger, so that Hercules should wear it, and so by its virtue her husband be restored to her again?
41765What if you should take my burden on your shoulders while I do your errand for you?"
41765What in the world could we do without her?
41765What in the world is better than gold?"
41765What loss would he most mourn?
41765What lover, however ardent his desire, dare venture to try his skill against Hercules?
41765What mean those hideous scars?"
41765What more proof would you have that this tale is true?
41765What mortal, even if he possessed a hundred lives, could hope to escape the fangs of such a monster?
41765What should it be but the most magnificent palace that had ever been seen in the world?
41765What think you, brother?
41765What was he to do?
41765Where are you all?
41765Where hast thou tarried this long, long while?
41765Whither away?
41765Who art thou that bringest the nectar of the gods?
41765Who breaks upon thy sleep?
41765Who can light on as happy a shore All the world o''er, all the world o''er?
41765Who else would have borne with my infirmities as thou hast?
41765Who has not seen on a starlight night Cassiopoeia seated on her golden throne?
41765Who was the giver of so precious a present?
41765Who will go in my company-- who?"
41765Why am I alone a dreamer of dreams, the idler of an empty day?"
41765Why is thy visage thus marred?
41765Why should you flee as the trembling doe from the lion, the lamb from the hungry wolf, the dove from the pursuing falcon?
41765Will ye leave your quarry when it is at the last gasp?
41765Would he come?
41765Your mother, beholding you safe and sound, will shed tears of joy; and what can she do more, should you win ever so great a victory?
41765[ Illustration: PERSEUS AND ANDROMEDA]"Shall I flee from a beast of the deep?"
41765asked Theseus,"if the labyrinth so bewilders me, as you say it will?"
41765asked the sylvan god,"Art thou not afeard of all that might meet thee here in the deep forest?"
41765cried King Ægeus,"why should you expose yourself to this horrible fate?
41765cried Ulysses;"didst thou think to gorge thyself on me, whom the gods have made an instrument to punish thy churlish manners?"
41765cried the queen;"the gods have already wrought wonders, why should they not give thee back thy life?
41765do you smell the feast?
41765do you think me so?"
41765have the gods mocked me after all?
41765he lamented,"upon what inhospitable coast have I been cast?
41765must you go so soon?"
41765nor taste those nice little savory dishes which my dearest wife knew how to serve up?"
41765shouted Hercules very wrathfully,"do you intend to make me bear this burden for ever?"
41765the cause of your death?
41765thought Cadmus;"or have I been dreaming all this while?"
41765was there ever such a gentle, sweet, pretty, and amiable creature as this bull, and ever such a nice playmate for a little girl?
41765what should I do if_ she_ were gone?"
41765wherefore shouldst thou leave me?"
41765why have I made thee that thou should''st mock me thus?
41765why have you opened this wicked box?"
