3327 | What have the cranes to do with him?" |
3327 | What is this fighting about? |
3327 | What is''t you do? |
3327 | What shall he do? |
3327 | What shall he do? |
3327 | What should he do? |
3327 | Where are you going to carry me?'' |
3327 | Where could we go to escape from Periander, if he should know that you had been robbed by us? |
3327 | Where is that love of me that used to be uppermost in your thoughts? |
3327 | Who brought me here? |
3327 | Who lived when thou was such? |
3327 | Why do you hang round my neck and still entreat me? |
3327 | Why should Latona be honored with worship rather than I? |
3327 | Why should he alone escape? |
3327 | Why will you not take a lesson from the tree and the vine, and consent to unite yourself with some one? |
3327 | Will any one deny this? |
3327 | Will you kill your father? |
3327 | Will you prefer to me this Latona, the Titan''s daughter, with her two children? |
3327 | Woe; great Jove have pity, Listen to my sad entreaty, Yet for what can Hero pray? |
3327 | Would you rather have me away?" |
3327 | Yet can ye relieve my grief? |
3327 | Yet where is your triumph? |
3327 | did he say?" |
3327 | said AEneas,"is it possible that any can be so in love with life, as to wish to leave these tranquil seats for the upper world?" |
3327 | she cried;"whither do you fly? |
976 | And how dare you make this disturbance, while I am sacrificing a black bull to my father Neptune? |
976 | And how soon shall I be strong enough? |
976 | And is he a live giant, or a brazen image? |
976 | And what do you want in my dominions? |
976 | And will you carry me back when I have seen it? |
976 | Are they as good as the first? |
976 | Are you awake, Prince Theseus? |
976 | Are you sure, beautiful Medea,asked Jason,"quite sure, that the unguent in the gold box will prove a remedy against those terrible burns?" |
976 | But can I do nothing to help them? |
976 | But how shall I ever find him,asked Theseus,"if the labyrinth so bewilders me as you say it will?" |
976 | But is not this enough? 976 Did there really come any words out of the hole?" |
976 | Did you see that flash of light? |
976 | Do not you see you are lost, without me as your good angel? 976 Do you not know that this island is enchanted? |
976 | Do you see it? |
976 | Do you see? 976 Do you, indeed, my dear child?" |
976 | Does it presume to be green, when I have bidden it be barren, until my daughter shall be restored to my arms? |
976 | Does the earth disobey me? |
976 | Does your majesty see his confusion? |
976 | Foolish woman,answered Ceres,"did you not promise to intrust this poor infant entirely to me? |
976 | Have they undergone a similar change, through the arts of this wicked Circe? |
976 | Have you anything to tell me, little bird? |
976 | Have 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? |
976 | Have you forgotten what guards it? |
976 | Have 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? |
976 | How will you prevent me,asked Hercules,"from going whither I please?" |
976 | Is it a wholesome wine? |
976 | Is it much farther? |
976 | Is it not a very pleasant stream? |
976 | Must we wait long for harvest time? |
976 | My child,said she,"did you taste any food while you were in King Pluto''s palace?" |
976 | My 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? |
976 | O brindled cow,cried he, in a tone of despair,"do you never mean to stop?" |
976 | O my dear son,cried King Aegeus,"why should you expose yourself to this horrible fate? |
976 | O my sweet violets, shall I never see you again? |
976 | O, daughter of the Talking Oak,cried he,"how shall we set to work to get our vessel into the water?" |
976 | O, where is my dear child? |
976 | On what errand? |
976 | Pray, nurse,the queen kept saying,"how is it that you make the child thrive so?" |
976 | Sacred oracle of Delphi,said he,"whither shall I go next in quest of my dear sister Europa?" |
976 | See if you can lift this rock on which we are sitting? |
976 | That little bird, which met me at the edge of the cliff,exclaimed Ulysses;"was he a human being once?" |
976 | Well, 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?" |
976 | What does this mean? |
976 | What hast thou to do with an affair like this? 976 What in the world, my little fellow,"ejaculated Hercules,"may you be?" |
976 | What is it? |
976 | What is the matter, Jason? |
976 | What is there to gratify her heart? 976 What is this wonder?" |
976 | What kind of a monster may that be? 976 What mean you, little bird?" |
976 | What says King Aetes, my royal and upright father? |
976 | What shall I do,said he,"in order to win the Golden Fleece?" |
976 | What shall I do? |
976 | What''s all this? |
976 | What''s your name? 976 What, then, shall I do?" |
976 | What,said Hecate,"the young man that always sits in the sunshine? |
976 | Whence come you, strangers? |
976 | Where are your two and twenty comrades? |
976 | Where is Proserpina? |
976 | Where is my child? 976 Where was the sound, and which way did it seem to go?" |
976 | Whither are you going in such a hurry, wise Ulysses? |
976 | Whither are you going, Jason? |
976 | Who are you, I say? |
976 | Who are you? |
976 | Who are you? |
976 | Why do you come alone? |
976 | Why should you be so frightened, my pretty child? |
976 | Will he give you the Golden Fleece, without any further risk or trouble? |
976 | Will not you stay a moment,asked Phoebus,"and hear me turn the pretty and touching story of Proserpina into extemporary verses?" |
976 | Will the dog bite me? |
976 | Will you trust the child entirely to me? |
976 | Young man,asked he, with his stern voice,"are you not appalled at the certainty of being devoured by this terrible Minotaur?" |
976 | And 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? |
976 | And what do you think the snowy bull did next? |
976 | And what is the message which you bring?" |
976 | And whence could this bull have come? |
976 | And, indeed, why not? |
976 | Are 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?" |
976 | Are you an enchantress?" |
976 | Are you not terribly hungry? |
976 | But how can you help me to do the things of which you speak? |
976 | But to test how much you have profited under so excellent a teacher, will you allow me to ask you a single question?" |
976 | But, a little farther on, what should she behold? |
976 | But, by the by, have you added any more legends to the series, since the publication of the''Wonder- Book''?" |
976 | Can you guess who I am? |
976 | Can you tell me what has become of my dear child Proserpina?" |
976 | Could you help smiling, Prince Jason, to see the self- conceit of that last fellow, just as he tumbled down?" |
976 | Did the roots extend down into some enchanted cavern? |
976 | Do n''t you see I''m sleepy? |
976 | Do you imagine that earthly children are to become immortal without being tempered to it in the fiercest heat of the fire? |
976 | Do you see that tall gateway before us? |
976 | Do you see this splendid crown upon my head? |
976 | Dost thou not tremble, wicked king, to turn thine eyes inward on thine own heart? |
976 | How are you, my good fellow?" |
976 | How was the blessed sunshine to be thrown into them? |
976 | How were they to be purified? |
976 | I wonder what the blacksmith charged him for a set of iron shoes? |
976 | Instead 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? |
976 | Is it because I too am a king, that you desire so earnestly to speak with me? |
976 | Is it not possible, at the risk of one''s life, to slay him?" |
976 | Is there nothing which I can get you to eat?" |
976 | May 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?" |
976 | Now, who do you imagine these two voyagers turned out to be? |
976 | Or is he afraid of wetting his fine golden- stringed sandals? |
976 | Pray what may I call your name? |
976 | Pray, how big may your soul be?" |
976 | Pray, what would you advise me to do with him?" |
976 | Proserpina, did you call her name?" |
976 | Shall I never hear them again? |
976 | Shall we not rather compel him to leave his bones here on our soil, by the side of our slain brother''s bones? |
976 | Tell me, for pity''s sake, have you seen my poor child Proserpina pass by the mouth of your cavern?" |
976 | Tell me, you naughty sea nymphs, have you enticed her under the sea?" |
976 | The gentle and innocent creature( for who could possibly doubt that he was so?) |
976 | This showed some intelligence in the oak; else how should it have known that any such person existed? |
976 | Was Theseus afraid? |
976 | Were we to drown the world with them, could the world blame us? |
976 | What are all the splendors you speak of without affection? |
976 | What are kings made for, save to succor the feeble and distressed? |
976 | What can I do with him?" |
976 | What can we do to drive them away?" |
976 | What do you think of this, my brave Jason?" |
976 | What does he mean to do? |
976 | What harm can the lady of the palace and her maidens do to mariners and warriors like us?" |
976 | What will the king say to the one- sandaled man?" |
976 | Whence has he come? |
976 | Where are you all? |
976 | Why did not I think of him before? |
976 | Why do you come hither? |
976 | Will you go with me you go with me, Phoebus, to demand my daughter of this wicked Pluto?" |
976 | Will you not like to ride a little way with me, in my beautiful chariot?" |
976 | and where did you receive your education?" |
976 | do you smell the feast? |
976 | do you think me so?" |
976 | he exclaimed:"how came you by it?" |
976 | if the fathers and mothers were so small, what must the children and babies have been? |
976 | nor taste those nice little savory dishes which my dearest wife knew how to serve up?" |
976 | thought Cadmus;"or have I been dreaming all this while?" |
976 | was there ever such a gentle, sweet, pretty, and amiable creature as this bull, and ever such a nice playmate for a little girl? |
976 | you have been gathering flowers? |
9855 | ''Dare you do it? 9855 ''How dare you do it?'' |
9855 | ''Is he Echo? 9855 ''Where is he, Echo?'' |
9855 | A myth? 9855 And in the fall, Hilda?" |
9855 | And was Venus a little girl or a woman? 9855 But the harp, mother; did n''t she ever find that?" |
9855 | But who can tell Queen Ceres, her mother? |
9855 | But who is King Neptune, and where does this ocean god live, mother? |
9855 | But why did n''t tiger- lilies or some other big and showy flowers come, not these pretty little things? |
9855 | Can you call it answering, Grace? 9855 Did n''t I tell you the mother never could see again her son or her husband? |
9855 | Did you name my star yourself? |
9855 | Do all the flowers have names, too, father? |
9855 | Do n''t you know that this is Sunday on earth, when all must rest from work? |
9855 | Do you know what the gods are doing to Baldur when you are not by? |
9855 | Do you like olives, Harold? |
9855 | How could Saturn bring them back, then? |
9855 | How could the arrows be white when even the sun was darkened by the black- winged creatures? |
9855 | Icarus, Icarus, where are you? |
9855 | Oh, I know now what you mean by Frigga is the ground, is n''t she? |
9855 | Oh, is that what it means? |
9855 | Quicksilver? 9855 Shall I tell you a story?" |
9855 | Venus? 9855 What color will it be in winter?" |
9855 | What country were you studying about to- day, Harold? |
9855 | What drinks from the brooks and wells, and from the stones on the bank? |
9855 | What else did you find besides the windflowers, or anemones, boys? |
9855 | What is it? |
9855 | What is the name of this stone, then? |
9855 | What makes you laugh at me, mother? 9855 What shall we do?" |
9855 | What walks along the grass, steps on the edge of the fence, and walks along the sides of the reeds? |
9855 | Where did all the flowers get their names? 9855 Where did you ever hear it called that, Mary?" |
9855 | Who told you how to make this? |
9855 | Why did you come to us? 9855 Why do n''t you join in the sport?" |
9855 | Why do you abuse us? |
9855 | Why, father, where did you learn all their names? |
9855 | Why, mother, is that it? 9855 Yes, and the weeks never return either, do they, Mary?" |
9855 | You have done the best you could; who could do better than that? |
9855 | And if asked,"Who were they?" |
9855 | And what did they do it for?" |
9855 | And what makes you call a star_ her_? |
9855 | Apollo saw the little fellow and, to tease him, asked:"What do you carry arrows for, saucy boy? |
9855 | Are all shown each time? |
9855 | Are clouds like curtains? |
9855 | Are n''t they lovely?" |
9855 | Are they ever like horses, cattle, sheep, or swans? |
9855 | At last Earth cried in a husky voice to Jupiter, the ruler of the gods:"What have I done that this punishment should come? |
9855 | But can you think of any day of the week that might be named after Saturn?" |
9855 | But who wants to drink out of a frog pond? |
9855 | Can you guess what they were? |
9855 | Can you guess who Proserpina is? |
9855 | Can you not see how these poor babies reach out their hands to you?" |
9855 | Can you remember the name of the king of the sea?" |
9855 | Can you see a bear up there in the sky? |
9855 | Can you tell which days?" |
9855 | Can you tell? |
9855 | Did the ancients know the real truth concerning the distance, size, and nightly disappearance of the sun? |
9855 | Did the teachers name them?" |
9855 | Did you ever say that rhyme? |
9855 | Did you ever see such a lovely one?" |
9855 | Did you ever see them? |
9855 | Did you ever think that the sunflower was once a lovely girl? |
9855 | Did you want me?'' |
9855 | Did you, mother? |
9855 | Do n''t they look like a bunch of big cherries?" |
9855 | Do 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? |
9855 | Do n''t you think so, mother?" |
9855 | Do you dare to try such a task?" |
9855 | Do you know how any of the cities got their names?" |
9855 | Do you mean Venus is still alive?" |
9855 | Do you remember the colors of the robes that Frigga wore?" |
9855 | Do you remember what you heard out by the great rocks the day of the picnic?" |
9855 | Do you see the meaning now?" |
9855 | Do you think the ancient Greeks really believed the story of Phaeton? |
9855 | Does his nose always point to the North Star, the same as the two pointers in the Big Dipper?" |
9855 | Does it work quietly? |
9855 | Does n''t he put away one of his children every twelve months?" |
9855 | Does n''t that seem strange? |
9855 | Does the king want them?" |
9855 | Does the king want them?" |
9855 | Has a rock a name?" |
9855 | He was silent a moment, but then asked:"Have the stars names, too, father? |
9855 | How could he?" |
9855 | How did it get up there among the stars? |
9855 | How many have seen the same colors on a soap bubble or elsewhere? |
9855 | If anyone should tell you that the giant was winter, and his kettles the strangely shaped icebergs of the arctic North, would you believe it? |
9855 | If you had been there and could have had your choice, what would you have wished for? |
9855 | Is great power usually quiet? |
9855 | Is it a beautiful country?" |
9855 | Is the North Star the Bear''s eye? |
9855 | Is the sun king of the hours, the days, the months, and the years? |
9855 | Is the sun somewhere always shining? |
9855 | JUNO''S BIRD, THE PEACOCK_ Roman_"Oh, is n''t it a pity the peacock does n''t know that he ca n''t sing? |
9855 | JUPITER, GOD OF THE SOUTHERN SKY_ Roman_"Why do they call the eagle Jupiter''s bird, Miss Folsom?" |
9855 | Man 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? |
9855 | Now tell me about Greece, wo n''t you, please? |
9855 | Now, do you see that Thor''s day comes when Woden''s day goes? |
9855 | Oh, here is another kind of stone; what is this?" |
9855 | Only a baby; how could he?" |
9855 | Quicker than a flash from his father''s crown came the question from Phaeton:"Will you let me for one day drive your chariot?" |
9855 | Really is it granite? |
9855 | THE GIFT OF THE OLIVE TREE_ Greek_"Has everything a name, father?" |
9855 | THE GREAT BEAR IN THE SKY_ Greek_"Oh mother, what do you think? |
9855 | THE LITTLE WIND- GOD_ Greek_"What is it in the thermometer that shines so, mother?" |
9855 | The Little Bear? |
9855 | The Sun, seeing him with the eye that sees everything, asked:"Why are you here?" |
9855 | Then Ralph whispered,"We know it was only a myth, do n''t we?" |
9855 | WHERE THE FROGS CAME FROM_ Roman_ You see the sun every bright day, do n''t you? |
9855 | Was he a real person, Miss Folsom?" |
9855 | Was n''t that queer?" |
9855 | What are they?" |
9855 | What can his be?" |
9855 | What can_ you_ do?" |
9855 | What causes dark or dull days? |
9855 | What color is the lawn?" |
9855 | What colors of the prism are shown most in sunset or sunrise? |
9855 | What holiday was it? |

9855 | What is the use of the third letter in it?" |
9855 | What made you call her Venus?" |
9855 | What shapes do clouds take? |
9855 | What was it?" |
9855 | What was to be done? |
9855 | What would you think if I should tell you that ever so many people call it the Great Bear?" |
9855 | Where did you say you found them?" |
9855 | Where is the Great Bear? |
9855 | Which one shall I answer first?" |
9855 | Who among us has not regretted his lack of knowledge of some mythical person, in song, picture, or story? |
9855 | Who is Venus, mother? |
9855 | Who let you free from your rock prison?'' |
9855 | Who named her? |
9855 | Why did n''t the people who named the days give them numbers instead of names? |
9855 | Why does n''t he stop that fearful screeching?" |
9855 | Why is it dark? |
9855 | Why is it dark? |
9855 | Why should he wait? |
9855 | Will the new one have a name?" |
9855 | Will you try to remember it?" |
9855 | Will you, dear?" |
9855 | Wo n''t you watch for it to- night with me?" |
9855 | Would n''t it have been a lovely sight to see? |
9855 | Would you like that?" |
9855 | Would you like to hear it? |
9855 | Yes, there is Thor''s day, or Thursday, but what is the other?" |
9855 | You have his picture, too, have n''t you?" |
9855 | You have surely seen his picture, Ethel?" |
9855 | You remember that beautiful head of Minerva, which is near my book- shelf, do you not? |
9855 | You 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?" |
9855 | said the old woman,"have all things promised not to hurt Baldur?" |
9855 | surely that is the one, is n''t it?" |
17964 | A drive, two brassies, an approach, and forty puts, I presume? |
17964 | A very useful function that, Sambo; and where were you born? |
17964 | About how far is it? |
17964 | An unpleasant post, that? |
17964 | And Actæon? 17964 And are they handy?" |
17964 | And do you always permit your patients to put them on? |
17964 | And does he do this sort of thing often? |
17964 | And how about the bicycle? |
17964 | And how about the wings? |
17964 | And how did she take it? |
17964 | And how long may your hours be? 17964 And how, may I ask, do the caddies find a ball that goes seventy- five miles?" |
17964 | And husband of the delectable Psyche? |
17964 | And the patient dies? |
17964 | And this coffee, Memnon? 17964 And what, Memnon,"said I,"is the peculiarity of eggs_ Midas_?" |
17964 | And what, pray, is his function? 17964 And which would you prefer?" |
17964 | And who, pray,I queried,"takes your place while you are below?" |
17964 | And you lose in spite of that splendid-- er-- stroke? |
17964 | And, ah, whither do you elevate, my lad? |
17964 | And-- wha-- wha-- what becomes of all this when I get back home? |
17964 | Beggar? |
17964 | But I say, Adonis,I added,"did I understand you to say that you played all around Mars?" |
17964 | But are you sure it is in your side, or is n''t it your chest that aches a trifle, eh? |
17964 | But 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?" |
17964 | But how long will it take Midas to fit me out? |
17964 | But how shall I ever repay the office? |
17964 | But tell me, Adonis,I continued,"who is your amateur champion?" |
17964 | But the separation, my dear boy? |
17964 | But what of that? 17964 But whom do you wish to see?" |
17964 | But your side does n''t ache at all? |
17964 | Cigar or cigarette? |
17964 | Costly? |
17964 | Do n''t they rebel? |
17964 | Do they allow bathing in that? |
17964 | Do you wish the news, sir? |
17964 | Doctor who? |
17964 | Does n''t Callisto ever have a Sunday out, for instance? |
17964 | Does n''t she ever let''em off? |
17964 | Feel better right away, eh? |
17964 | Getting there seems to be an easy matter, but after you get there, how about the course? 17964 Good, is it?" |
17964 | H''m-- what''s that, Memnon? |
17964 | Have I? |
17964 | Have some regard for my position, wo n''t you? |
17964 | Have we links? |
17964 | Have you many similar ventures? |
17964 | Having a good season, Memnon? |
17964 | He''s not handsome, is he? |
17964 | He''s your idea of a competent driver, eh? 17964 High or low?" |
17964 | How are things with you to- day? |
17964 | How do they carry the bags? |
17964 | How do you do? |
17964 | How many is that in mortal figures? |
17964 | How many volumes? |
17964 | How much do I owe you, doctor? |
17964 | How would you like to loop the loop out here? |
17964 | I''ll call you Pencillius, god of Chirography-- or would you rather come as Nonsensius, the newly discovered deity of Jocosity? |
17964 | Indeed? |
17964 | Indeed? |

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