35811How, then, was it that the true sheep of Christ in the convent of Hellfde followed at times the voice of strangers, and mistook it for His own?
35811I said to him,"Good man, what is it you are lifting?"
35811In how many words could that be taught us which we learn from the one expression,"The Lamb of God"?
35811Is there nothing believed and taught amongst us which blinds the eyes of lost and helpless sinners to their need of a Saviour?
35811O Bride, the saints in glory shine, Can they not fill that heart of thine?
35811O blessed Love, who are they who know thee?
35811Or slay, if no balm there be?
35811Should she not rejoice and sing?
35811Soul, couldst thou abide for an hour alone In the burning fire around His throne?"
35811The nightingale she can but sing, For she is made of love''s delight, Of love bereft, what else were left Than death and night?
35811Then spake the Host--"What need hast thou, That thou dost thus implore?"
35811Then speaketh He and saith,"Beloved one, What would''st thou?
35811This wide, wide world, so rich and fair, Thou sure canst find thy solace there?
35811Thou art joined to Me, O Mine own, for ever, And nearer thou canst not be; Shall aught on earth or in heaven sever Myself from Me?"
35811To the bridal chamber goeth the bride, For love is her home and rest; And shall not I in His light abide, When I lean upon His breast?"
35811Was it in his case but a vague sense of a place of joy and beauty which the soul might find on this side of heaven?
35811Whence came I here?
35811Where art Thou, then, Belovèd?
35811Where wilt thou find that ointment rare, O My belovèd one?
35811Why so?
35811Why so?
35811Wilt thou die for Him who died?
35811Wilt thou render Him love for His loving?
35811Wilt thou, sinner, be converted?
35811[ 10]"Why did I thus pray?"
35811[ 12] Should we therefore conclude that_ all_ they received as His was but the working of their own minds, or a snare of the evil one?
35811nothing which blinds the guilty to their need of the Atoning Blood?
15082O Paradise, O Paradise Who does not sigh for rest?
15082The Scholar said to his Master: How may I come to the supersensual life, that I may see God and hear Him speak? 15082 The Scholar said: How can I hear when I stand still from thinking and willing?
15082The Scholar said: Is that near at hand or far off? 15082 What fruits dost thou bring back from this thy vision?"
15082Where,says Jacob Boehme,"will you seek for God?
15082[ 28] Is it possible to state more plainly the indivisible identity of the Spirit of Life? 15082 [ 39] How many people do each of us know who work and will in quiet love, and thus participate in eternal life?
15082[ 41] And what is worship but a reach- out of the finite spirit towards Infinite Life? 15082 [ 91] What happens in it?
15082Again, we have to remember that the instinctive self, powerful though it be?
15082And if in a group or church, what should the character of this society be?
15082And last, if we ask as a summing up of the whole matter:_ Why_ man is thus to seek the Eternal, through, behind and within the ever- fleeting?
15082And the next question-- a highly practical question-- is,"How_ both_?"
15082And what is perfection of joy but grace complete?
15082But the crucial question which religion asks must be, does fresh life flow in from those visions and contacts, that intercourse?
15082Can we honestly say that young people reared in them are likely to acquire this temper of heaven?
15082Do the masters, or the workers, work and will in quiet love?
15082Do we always manage or even try to give it that enduring object, in a form it can accept?
15082Do we take enough notice of it?
15082Does it send them out equipped with the means of living a full and efficient spiritual life?
15082Does it train them to regard humanity, and their own place in the human life- stream, from this point of view?
15082First, does the average good education train our young people in spiritual self- preservation?
15082How is he to be dealt with, and the opportunities which he presents used best?
15082How is the traditional deposit of spiritual experience handed on, the individual drawn into the stream of spiritual history and held there?
15082How is this done?
15082How many politicians-- the people to whom we have confided the control of our national existence-- work and will in quiet love?
15082If anyone who has followed these arguments, and now desires to bring them from idea into practice, asks:"What next?"
15082If, then, it does achieve the social phase what stages may we expect it to pass through, and by what special characters will it be graced?
15082Is nothing left out?
15082Is such a view complete?
15082Is transcendental feeling involved in them?
15082Last, to what extent do we try to introduce our pupils into a full enjoyment of their spiritual inheritance, the culture and tradition of the past?
15082Or after considering the inner nature of international diplomacy and finance?
15082Or after reading the unvarnished record of our dealings with the problem of Indian immigration into Africa?
15082Ought we not to introduce our pupils to them; not as stuffed specimens, but as vivid human beings?
15082Secondly, does it give them a spiritual outlook in respect of their racial duties, fit them in due time to be parents of other souls?
15082Secondly,_ Process._ What is the line of development by which the individual comes to acquire and exhibit these characters?
15082This question, often put in the crucial form,"Did Jesus Christ intend to form a Church?"
15082V.][ Footnote 98: Que frutti reducene de esta tua visione?
15082What about industry?
15082What about our English saints?
15082What about the hurried, ugly and devitalizing existence of our big towns?
15082What about the master and the worker in such a possibly regenerated social order?
15082What are we to regard as the heart of spirituality?
15082What is it, then, from which he must be saved?
15082What is that supernal symphony of which this elusive music, with its three complementary strains, forms part?
15082What next?
15082What thing is grace but beginning of joy?
15082What was this impulse and urge?
15082What, then, are we doing about this?
15082When the young man with great possessions asked Jesus,"What shall I do to be saved?"
15082Where then would be our most heart- searching social problems?
15082Wherein do its differentia consist?
15082Would not this, at last, actualize the Pauline dream, of each single citizen as a member of the Body of Christ?
15082Yet is there in this state of things nothing but food for congratulation?
15082[ 56] What, then, is the character of the life which St. Benedict proposed as a remedy for the human failure and disharmony that he saw around him?
15082that is to say with diligence and faithful purpose, without selfish anxiety, without selfish demands and hostilities?
23820Are you rich? 23820 Can anything that it sends be amiss?
23820Can man by searching find out God?
23820Can the divine will err?
23820Do we not all wish that we could live our lives over again in the light of our present experience?
23820How shall I seem to love my people?
23820Out of politics, triumphs, battles, life, what at last finally remains? 23820 Seek you,"said a devout Catholic priest,"the secret of union with God?
23820What is the happy life?
23820What shall it profit a man,He well said,"if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"
23820You desire to''serve humanity,''do you?
23820''Where are you?''
23820Again, are the daily occurrences of life pre- destined?
23820All over the state the tourist is asked,"Have you seen Greeley?
23820All that made life worth the living has been inexplicably withdrawn; and how, then, shall he live?
23820And how?
23820And so the question comes,--What do they mean?
23820And the remedy lies,--where?
23820And what is the life of the spirit?
23820And_ why_ shall he live?
23820But is gold the test of success?
23820But what is humanity?
23820But what is it to live?
23820Can he be happy if he has lost all his worldly goods?
23820Can he be happy if he has lost all his worldly goods?
23820Can its infinite value be increased by the paltry difference of time, place, or circumstance?
23820Can not even denial and defeat be held as developing qualities that might otherwise lie latent?
23820Can the individual be happy, he will ask, when all that made happiness is taken away?
23820Can the individual be happy, he will ask, when all that made happiness is taken away?
23820Can we not relate our consciously intelligent life to our unconscious spiritual life?
23820Can you forsake it for abstract literature?"
23820Catholic or Protestant,--what matters it so that one who listens may hear the word?
23820Comprising: WHAT LACKS THE SUMMER?
23820Do not the interruptions assume a new form, and are they not, thereby, transfigured into glad and golden opportunity?
23820Do thoughts register themselves magnetically on the air, and is this magnetic writing perceived, unconsciously, by one sensitive to it?
23820Does it lose this power by the change called death?
23820Does not the environment change with the life in a corresponding evolutionary process?
23820Does one prefer to go down hill into some dark ravine or deep mountain gorge?
23820Does the gate of possibilities, does the door of opportunity close with this brief mortal life?
23820Does the road wind up hill?
23820Does the vibration of the spoken word linger in the place where it is uttered?
23820For himself alone, what does he want that money, mere money, can buy?
23820For is not the underlying and fundamental truth this: that all is spirit?
23820Has one been wronged, or misrepresented, or in any way injured?
23820Have you eyes to find the five Which five hundred did survive?
23820Here are an array of interruptions, but why not give them another name-- that of opportunities?
23820Heretofore poet and prophet have always questioned despondently,--"Does the road wind up hill all the way?"
23820How does this occur?
23820How far do we make our own life?
23820How far is it made for us?
23820How is he to endure it?
23820How is he to go on, living his life, in all this pain, perplexity, trial, or annoyance, much less to"glory"in this atmosphere of tribulation?
23820How shall the perfect spiritual supremacy be established?
23820If one encounters disaster or great personal sorrow, what then?
23820If psychological only, what does that mean?
23820If the physical universe can be so increasingly explored, shall not the spiritual universe be also penetrated by the spiritual powers of man?
23820If this be true of resignation, what shall be said of tribulation,--of glorying in tribulation?
23820If this deduction is true-- what then?
23820Instead, what does the tourist see?
23820Is every life just that which it is made?
23820Is it a physical process going on in some physical medium or ether connecting the two brains?
23820Is it a primary physiological function of the brain, or is it primarily psychological?
23820Is it not this which is set before us in the progress of spirituality?
23820Is it not, after all, composed of individuals?
23820Is it not, then, true that a life really belongs to the environment it creates for himself, rather than to that in which it is first nurtured?
23820Is not the life more than meat?
23820Is not the next step in scientific progress to be into the invisible and the unknown?
23820Is there no Roentgen ray that will pierce the horizon of the future and disclose to us what lies beyond?
23820Is there not, then, a need for the gospel of one''s own endeavor?
23820Is this power only inherent in the physical structure?
23820Is this"The Country God Forgot"?
23820Is thought, itself, photographed on the ether?
23820Just how shall one be well and keep well?
23820Just what is the explanation?
23820May they not teach the divinest lesson of all,--the one most invaluable to human life,--absolute trust in God?
23820Might not one, with profit, dwell for a moment upon this statement?
23820Nor what indeed is more reasonable, more perfect, more divine, than the will of God?
23820Nothing could withstand its consuming power.... And what makes this stupendous force?
23820Now how are we to pluck out the heart of the mystery?
23820Now the scientific question is: From whence did this impression proceed?
23820Now,--always provided that there is full conviction of immortality,--why should it be wrong to seek his companionship or counsel from the unseen life?
23820One asks for them-- and they do not come?
23820Or does there work, under all our human will and endeavor, a force resistless as gravitation and as constant as attraction?
23820Or is he the product of his environment?
23820Shall Phillips Brooks, the friend and helper and wise counsellor when here, be less so now that he has entered into the next higher scale of being?
23820Shall he do it?
23820Shall not one rejoice and recognize that the need of another is brought as a privilege to himself?
23820Shall we not enter to- day into the very joy of the Lord?
23820Shall we not enter to- day into this kingdom of heaven which is at hand?
23820Shall you make his life and your own a burden with complaint and reproach?
23820Should not the minister break off his morning meditation-- an abstract thing, at best-- to see me, who needs an immediate infusion of encouragement?"
23820Strictly speaking, perhaps, no one of these has any real right to thus tax the time and energy of a stranger; but is there not another side to it?
23820The cry of certain reformers(?)
23820The problem, then, becomes that of bringing the psychical body into this receptive relation to the physical self?
23820The question confronts one as a very determining problem in life,--can man control his circumstances?
23820Then what remains?
23820To go deeper still, can he create them?
23820To see the future as clearly as we see the past, what does it require?
23820To what extent should he yield to the"devastator of the day"?
23820Was all this series of events-- trifles of no importance in themselves, but very curious in their combination-- foreordained?
23820Was his life thereby a failure?
23820Was it a clairvoyant reading of the letter that was en route during the night?
23820Was it direct telepathy between the two persons concerned?
23820What has he to do with that far- away, opaque, limited environment into which he was born?
23820What is a book compared to a human soul?
23820What is distance to the spiritual being?
23820What then?
23820What then?
23820What though the bough beneath thee break?
23820What value shall I give to those transformation experiences?"
23820When shows break up what but one''s self is sure?"
23820When shows break up, what but one''s self is sure?"
23820Who can contemplate wireless telegraphy without having opened to him a range of activities and conditions undreamed of heretofore?
23820Who can decide?
23820Who has won the triumph''s evidence-- Pilate or Christ?
23820Who would relinquish a right purpose because its achievement were hard?
23820Why is it not visible?
23820Why need you choose so painfully your place, and occupation, and associates, and modes of action and of entertainment?
23820Will this theory furnish the basis for a true interpretation of telepathy?
23820Without its own sustenance from the spiritual world, how could it survive?
23820Yet where does the remedy lie?
23820Yet, is there not just here a richness of opportunity in the aim to"do good to all men"that may often be unrecognized?
23820Yet, with his personal world in ruins, what shall he do?
23820_ Would he take a message?_ Just as lief as not; had nothing else to do; would carry it in no time.
23820and if not, how was it that they were partly perceived, in the passive state of sleep, twenty- four hours before they occurred?
23820or if death has taken those nearest and dearest to him?
23820or if death has taken those nearest and dearest to him?
23820or if the separations of life, far harder to bear than those of death, have come into his experience with their almost hopeless sense of desolation?
23820or if the separations of life, far harder to bear than those of death, have come to him?
23820rich enough to help somebody?"
603773. Who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of a mortal man?
603778. Who will remember thee when thou art dead; and who will pray for thee?
60377All men naturally desire to know; but what doth knowledge avail without the fear of God?
60377And how often have I found it where I did not expect it?
60377And if thou ask why?
60377And if thou drive him from thee, and lose him, to whom wilt thou fly, and whom then wilt thou seek for thy friend?
60377And now in the midst of these things, what shall I say?
60377And now, dear father, what shall I say?
60377And to him that relishes thee not, what can ever yield any true delight?
60377And unless thou didst command it, who would dare attempt to approach?
60377And what can be more free, than he that desires nothing upon earth?
60377And what need we concern ourselves about questions of philosophy?
60377And what wonder, if he feels no weight, who is carried by the Almighty, and led on by the sovereign guide?
60377And when thou hast run over all things, what profit will it be to thee, if thou hast neglected thyself?
60377And why do such small things go to thy heart; but because thou art yet carnal, and regardest man more than thou oughtest?
60377Are not all painful labours to be endured for everlasting life?
60377Behold_ my_ God,_ and my All_, What would I have more, and what can I desire more happy?
60377But if thou dost not overcome things that are small and light: when wilt thou overcome greater difficulties?
60377But in what manner?
60377But what art thou to those that love thee?
60377But what return shall I make to the Lord for this grace, and for so extraordinary a charity?
60377But whence is this to me, that thou shouldst come to me?
60377But where is this devotion?
60377But who am I, O Lord, that I should presume to come to thee?
60377But why are we so willing to talk and discourse with one another: since we seldom return to silence without prejudice to our conscience?
60377But why did I not provide better for myself, miserable wretch as I am?
60377Can it be much to serve thee, whom the whole creation is bound to serve?
60377Christ had adversaries and backbiters, and wouldst thou have all to be thy friends and benefactors?
60377Christ would suffer and be despised, and dost thou dare to complain of any one?
60377Could it even so much as pluck one hair away from thee?
60377Dost thou think to escape that which no mortal could ever avoid?
60377Dost thou think to have always spiritual consolations when thou pleasest?
60377For when the disciples asked,_ Who was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?_( Matthew xviii.)
60377For who is he that approaching humbly to the Fountain of Sweetness, does not carry away with him some little sweetness?
60377For who is there amongst worldly people, that would not willingly receive comfort and spiritual joy, if he could always have it?
60377For who shall be able to find the man that is truly poor in spirit, and naked of all things created?
60377How canst thou look to continue ever in the same state of virtue, when this was not found in the angels in heaven, nor in the first man in Paradise?
60377How dare such a sinner appear before thee?
60377How do so many other religious do, who live under strict monastic discipline?
60377How often have I not found faith there, where I thought I might depend upon it?
60377How profitable indeed hath grace been kept with silence in this frail life, which is all but a temptation and a warfare?
60377How shall I break through them?
60377How shall I dare to approach, who am conscious to myself of no good, on which I can presume?
60377How shall I pass without hurt?
60377How short a time do I spend when I prepare myself to communicate?
60377How sweetly and graciously dost thou order all things in favour of thy elect, to whom thou offerest thyself to be received in the sacrament?
60377If a little suffering now makes thee so impatient, what will hell fire do hereafter?
60377If all were perfect: what then should we have to suffer from others for God''s sake?
60377If in the angels thou hast found sin, and hast not spared them, what will become of me?
60377If thou art not now careful for thyself, who will be careful for thee hereafter?
60377If thou art not prepared to- day, how wilt thou be to- morrow?
60377If thou canst not make thyself such a one as thou wouldst: how canst thou expect to have another according to thy liking?
60377If thou couldst see any thing at once before thee, what would it be but a vain sight?
60377If thou dost not understand nor comprehend those things that are under thee, how shouldst thou comprehend those things that are above thee?
60377If thou hadst not gone before and instructed us, who would have cared to have followed?
60377If thou seekest rest in this life, how then wilt thou come to rest everlasting?
60377If thou shalt say, thou art not able to suffer so much, how then wilt thou endure the fire of purgatory?
60377If thou wilt suffer no opposition, how wilt thou be a friend of Christ?
60377If to this day thou hadst always lived in honours and pleasures: what would it avail thee, if thou wert now in a moment to die?
60377In what then, O Lord?
60377Is any thing difficult to me?
60377Is it not in me?
60377Is it not thou, my Lord God, whose mercies are without number?
60377Is not this a greater damage than if thou wert to lose the whole world?
60377Lord what cause have I to complain if thou forsake me?
60377Lord, how often shall I resign myself; and in what things shall I leave myself?
60377Lord, what is my confidence which I have in this life?
60377Lord?
60377Now if he that makes a strong resolution often fails: what will he do who seldom or but weakly resolves?
60377O God, the invisible Maker of the world, how wonderfully dost thou deal with us?
60377O Lord, to what are we come?
60377O fountain of everlasting_ love_, what shall I say of thee?
60377O how exceedingly necessary is thy_ grace_ for me, O Lord, to begin that which is good, to go forward with it, and to accomplish it?
60377O most wretched and foolish sinner, what answer wilt thou make to God, who knows all thy evils?
60377O when shall I be with thee in thy kingdom, which thou hast prepared for thy Beloved from all eternity?
60377O, my God, how much did they endeavour to do to please thee?
60377Or shall I be like one that promises and does not perform?
60377Or what can I justly alledge, if thou refuse to grant my petition?
60377Or who, standing by a great fire, does not receive from it some little heat?
60377Son, stand firm, and trust in me; for what are words but words?
60377Stars have fallen from heaven, and I that am but dust, how can I presume?
60377Suppose it to be so, that they have all they desire: how long dost thou think this will last?
60377Tell me now where are all those great doctors, with whom thou wast well acquainted, whilst they were living, and flourished in learning?
60377The whole life of Christ was a cross, and a martyrdom: and dost thou seek rest and joy?
60377Thou art not to answer for others, but must give an account for thyself; why therefore dost thou meddle with them?
60377To how many hath it been hurtful to have their virtue known, and over- hastily praised?
60377To whom shall I give credit, O Lord?
60377To- morrow is an uncertain day; and how dost thou know that thou shalt be alive to- morrow?
60377Unless thou, O Lord, didst say it, who could believe it to be true?
60377What answer canst thou make, O filthy sinner, to those that reproach thee, thou that hast so often offended God, and many times deserved hell?
60377What are all temporal things, but deceit?
60377What are these things, O Lord?
60377What benefit is it to live long, when we advance so little?
60377What can I do for my sins, but humbly confess them, and lament them, and incessantly implore thy mercy for them?
60377What can any one do against thee, by his words or injuries?
60377What can be more at rest than a simple eye[ that aims at nothing but God]?
60377What can the world profit thee without Jesus?
60377What canst thou see any where which can continue long under the sun?
60377What canst thou see elsewhere which thou seest not here?
60377What do I require more of thee, than that thou endeavour to resign thyself entirely to me?
60377What does the solicitude about future accidents bring thee but only sorrow upon sorrow?
60377What doth it avail thee, to discourse profoundly of the Trinity: if thou be void of humility, and consequently displeasing to the Trinity?
60377What doth it avail to delay thy confession for a long time, or to put off the holy communion?
60377What great thing is it, if thou be cheerful and devout when grace comes?
60377What hast thou, vain man, to complain of?
60377What hath man deserved, that thou shouldst give him thy grace?
60377What hath thy servant but what he hath received from thee, and this without any merit on his side?
60377What have I deserved for my sins but hell and everlasting fire?
60377What have I done, O Lord, that thou shouldst impart any heavenly comfort to me?
60377What have I then to glory in?
60377What is all flesh in thy sight?
60377What is it thou sayest, my Son?
60377What is this or that to thee?
60377What means this most loving condescension, and so friendly an invitation?
60377What other things shall that fire feed on but thy sins?
60377What return shall I make to thee for this grace?
60377What saint was there ever in the world without his cross and affliction?
60377What shall I do in my so great tribulations and anguishes, didst thou not encourage me with thy holy words?
60377What shall I give thee for all these thousands of favours?
60377What shall I say, who am guilty, and full of all confusion?
60377What shall I therefore, an unworthy sinner, who am but dust and ashes, be able to search into, or conceive of so high and sacred a mystery?
60377What then shall I do, O my God, my helper, my counsellor in necessities?
60377What to those that serve thee with their whole heart?
60377What was the reason why some of the saints were so perfect and contemplative?
60377What will become of us yet in the end: who grow lukewarm so very soon?
60377When shall I be set at liberty from the wretched slavery of sin?
60377When shall I be without any impediment in true liberty, without any trouble of mind or body?
60377When shall I contemplate the glory of thy kingdom?
60377When shall I enjoy a solid peace, a peace never to be disturbed and always secure, a peace both within and without, a peace every where firm?
60377When shall I to the full rejoice in thee?
60377When wilt thou be_ all in all_ to me?
60377When, O Lord, shall I be so happy as to think of thee alone?
60377Where art thou, when thou art not present to thyself?
60377Where is this so plentiful shedding of holy tears?
60377Where is thy faith?
60377Where is true peace, and true glory?
60377Where shall we find a man that is willing to serve God_ gratis?_ 4.
60377Where then can there be any lurking hole for glorying in myself?
60377Where was it ever well with me without thee?
60377Who am I, that thou shouldst give me thyself?
60377Who can foresee all things, or who is able to provide against all future evils?
60377Who is a greater hinderance and trouble to thee, than thine own unmortified affection of heart?
60377Who is so wise as to be able fully to know all things?
60377Who is there that has all things according to his will?
60377Who is there that is most at ease?
60377Who is there that serves and obeys me in all things, with that great care, with which the world and its lords are served?
60377Why also have I so easily given credit to others?
60377Why art thou troubled because things do not succeed with thee according to thy will and desire?
60377Why dost thou pine away with vain grief?
60377Why dost thou stand looking about thee here, since this is not thy resting place?
60377Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labour?
60377Why then am I not more inflamed, considering thy venerable presence?
60377Why then art thou afraid to take up thy cross, which leads to a kingdom?
60377Why wilt thou put off thy resolution from day to day?
60377Why wilt thou see what thou must not have?
60377Why wouldst thou prefer thyself to any one, since there are many more learned and skilful in the law than thyself?
60377Why, O Lord?
60377Wouldst thou have that immediately, which others after many tears and great labours have hardly obtained?
60377_ Lord, what is man that thou art mindful of him; or the Son of Man that thou vouchsafest to visit him?_ Psalms vi.
60377_ The Lord is my light, and my salvation: whom shall I fear?__ If whole armies should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear.
60377and how dost thou vouchsafe to come to a sinner?
60377and what will all things created avail thee, if thou be forsaken by the Creator?
60377how great confidence shall he have at the hour of his death, who is not detained by an affection to any thing in the world?
60377how little is their love of God, how weak is their devotion who so easily put by the sacred communion?
60377how little ought I to esteem whatever good I may seem to have?
60377how many would have staid afar off, and a great way behind, if they had not before their eyes thy excellent example?
60377or what is my greatest comfort amongst all things that appear under heaven?
60377or when could it be ill with me when thou wast present?
60377or why do I desire to be esteemed?
60377shall the clay glory against him that formed it?
60377to whom but thee?
60377what can I do, and whither shall I go without thee?
60377what do I suffer interiorly, whilst in my mind I consider heavenly things, and presently a crowd of carnal thoughts offers to interrupt my prayer?
60377what is our life if compared to theirs?
60377when will there be an end of these evils?
60377where any confidence in any conceit of my own virtue?
60377why dost thou think to live long, when thou art not sure of one day?
60377why tirest thou thyself with useless cares?
60377{ 117} Are they not convinced to be rather lovers of themselves than of Christ, who are always thinking of their own profit and gain?
60377{ 118} And what is that?
60377{ 11} Who has a stronger conflict than he who strives to overcome himself?
60377{ 160} How can I ever forget thee, who hast vouchsafed to remember me, even after that I was laid waste, and perished?
60377{ 166} Dost thou think the men of the world suffer little or nothing?
60377{ 189} And how can it be called life, since it begets so many deaths and plagues?
60377{ 203} For what is it to thee whether this man be such, or such; or that man do or say this, or the other?
60377{ 237} Otherwise how canst thou be mine, and I thine; unless thou be both within and without freed from all self- will?
60377{ 244} Is it not for nothing?
60377{ 254} If things foreseen do yet often hurt us, how can things unlooked for fail of wounding us grievously?
60377{ 265} O good Jesu, when shall I stand to behold thee?
60377{ 304} Why art thou disturbed at a little thing said against thee?
60377{ 321} How shall I introduce thee into my house, who have oftentimes offended thy most gracious countenance?
60377{ 373} Or what creature under heaven so beloved as a devout soul, into whom God cometh, that he may feed her with his glorious flesh?
60377{ 74} If thou canst now endure so little how wilt thou be able to bear everlasting torments?
60377{ 87} Whence shall thy patience be crowned, if thou meet with no adversity?
2500An advice? 2500 And do you know,"Siddhartha continued,"what word it speaks, when you succeed in hearing all of its ten thousand voices at once?"
2500And do you, sir, intent to continue travelling without clothes?
2500And now, Siddhartha, what are you now?
2500And what''s the use of that? 2500 And would you rather die, than obey your father?"
2500And would you write something for me on this piece of paper?
2500Are you Siddhartha?
2500Are you kidding?
2500But did n''t you yesterday wear a beard, and long hair, and dust in your hair?
2500But if you do n''t mind me asking: being without possessions, what would you like to give?
2500But what are you planning to live of, being without possessions?
2500But what if I had n''t been willing?
2500But where would you be without me? 2500 Dear Kamala, thus advise me where I should go to, that I''ll find these three things most quickly?"
2500Did you,so he asked him at one time,"did you too learn that secret from the river: that there is no time?"
2500Do you hear?
2500Do you think so?
2500How come?
2500How come?
2500How could I part with him?
2500How do you think, Govinda,Siddhartha spoke one day while begging this way,"how do you think did we progress?
2500However did you get here?
2500I do n''t quite understand yet,asked Govinda,"what do you mean by this?"
2500If you''re coming from the Samanas, how could you be anything but destitute? 2500 No, my dear, how should I be sad?
2500Nothing else?
2500O Siddhartha,he exclaimed,"will your father permit you to do that?"
2500Permit me to ask, sir, from where do you know my name?
2500Siddhartha,he spoke,"what are you waiting for?"
2500So will you abandon your plan?
2500That''s everything?
2500Were n''t you already standing out there yesterday, greeting me?
2500What are you waiting for?
2500Why did you take the axe along?
2500Why have you told me this about the stone?
2500Will you always stand that way and wait, until it''ll becomes morning, noon, and evening?
2500Would you like to ferry me over?
2500You have achieved it?
2500You have found peace?
2500You''ll go into the forests?
2500You''re able to read? 2500 You''ve lost your riches?"
2500Alas, I have also grown old, old-- could you still recognise me?"
2500And Siddhartha said quietly, as if he was talking to himself:"What is meditation?
2500And asked:"And only to tell me this, Siddhartha has come to me?"
2500And could you in any way protect your son from Sansara?
2500And have you not at one time said to me, you would not walk the path of the Samanas for much longer?"
2500And now let''s get to it: You are n''t satisfied with Siddhartha as he is, with oil in his hair, but without clothes, without shoes, without money?"
2500And what about the gods?
2500And what is it now what you''ve got to give?
2500And write?"
2500Are n''t the Samanas entirely without possessions?"
2500Are n''t you able to do anything else but thinking, fasting, making poetry?"
2500Are n''t you too, ferryman, a searcher for the right path?"
2500But are n''t you mistaken in thinking that you would n''t force him, would n''t punish him?
2500But do we, you and me, know what he is called upon to do, what path to take, what actions to perform, what pain to endure?
2500But have you not also developed a desire, an eagerness, to hear these teachings?
2500But he, Siddhartha, where did he belong to?
2500But is n''t every life, is n''t every work beautiful?"
2500But look, how shall I put him, who had no tender heart anyhow, into this world?
2500But speak, lovely Kamala, could n''t you still give me one small advice?"
2500But tell me, how should this be possible?
2500But tell me: Have you seen the multitude of my Samanas, my many brothers, who have taken refuge in the teachings?
2500But tell us, oh mother of the pilgrims, do you know him, the Buddha, have you seen him with your own eyes?"
2500But what will become of you?
2500But where, where was this self, this innermost part, this ultimate part?
2500But you, Siddhartha, where are you going to?"
2500But you, my honoured friend, do n''t you also want to walk the path of salvation?
2500By means of teachings, prayer, admonition?
2500By what do I still recognise that you''re Siddhartha?
2500Did any Samana or Brahman ever fear, someone might come and grab him and steal his learning, and his religious devotion, and his depth of thought?
2500Did he have to leave them to become a Kamaswami?
2500Did he not have to expect the same fate for himself?
2500Did he not, again and again, have to drink from holy sources, as a thirsty man, from the offerings, from the books, from the disputes of the Brahmans?
2500Did he still need her, or she him?
2500Did she not always expect it?
2500Did the sacrifices give a happy fortune?
2500Did they not play a game without an ending?
2500Did we reach any goals?"
2500Did you mark my words?"
2500Do n''t you make him feel inferior every day, and do n''t you make it even harder on him with your kindness and patience?
2500Do n''t you see that he does n''t want to be followed?"
2500Do n''t you shackle him with your love?
2500Do you have a faith, or a knowledge, you follow, which helps you to live and to do right?"
2500Do you have a spell?"
2500Do you have a teaching?
2500Do you know it now, Samana from the forest?
2500Does it please the venerable one to listen to me for one moment longer?"
2500For example, the fasting-- what is it good for?"
2500For what else?
2500For whom else were offerings to be made, who else was to be worshipped but Him, the only one, the Atman?
2500Govinda said:"But is that what you call` things'', actually something real, something which has existence?
2500Had his father not also suffered the same pain for him, which he now suffered for his son?
2500Had his father not long since died, alone, without having seen his son again?
2500Had not this bird died in him, had he not felt its death?
2500Have n''t you''ve been a Samana?
2500Have you never thought of this?"
2500He smiled a little--was it really necessary, was it right, was it not as foolish game, that he owned a mango- tree, that he owned a garden?
2500How come?
2500How could you have learned meditation, holding your breath, insensitivity against hunger and pain there among these wretched people?"
2500How could you?
2500How should the Gotama''s teachings, even before we have heard them, have already revealed their best fruit to us?"
2500Is n''t forced, is n''t he punished by all this?"
2500Is n''t it just a deception of the Maja, just an image and illusion?
2500Is n''t it just as if I had turned slowly and on a long detour from a man into a child, from a thinker into a childlike person?
2500Is n''t it so?"
2500Kamala pointed to her boy and said:"Did you recognise him as well?
2500Kamaswami left the room and returned with a scroll, which he handed to his guest while asking:"Can you read this?"
2500Make offerings?
2500Might it come from that long, good sleep, which has done me so good?
2500Might we get closer to enlightenment?
2500Might we get closer to salvation?
2500Might you have become destitute, Brahman, so that you seek to serve?"
2500Often I have thought: Wo n''t Govinda for once also take a step by himself, without me, out of his own soul?
2500Only Kamala had been dear, had been valuable to him-- but was she still thus?
2500Or do we perhaps live in a circle-- we, who have thought we were escaping the cycle?"
2500Or from the fact that I have escaped, that I have completely fled, that I am finally free again and am standing like a child under the sky?
2500Or from the word Om, which I said?
2500Or might you have only travelled for your amusement?"
2500Perhaps that you''re searching far too much?
2500Perhaps, he had really died, had drowned and was reborn in a new body?
2500Practise meditation?
2500Quietly, he asked:"What do you think should I do?"
2500Quoth Siddhartha after a long pause:"What other thing, Vasudeva?"
2500Quoth Siddhartha:"What should I possibly have to tell you, oh venerable one?
2500Quoth the Brahman:"Is that you, Siddhartha?
2500Sad was how Govinda looked like, sadly he asked: Why have you forsaken me?
2500Siddhartha answered:"How old, would you think, is our oldest Samana, our venerable teacher?"
2500So what if he died, how did this concern the boy?
2500So, where, where was it?
2500Speak, friend, would n''t we want to go there too and listen to the teachings from the Buddha''s mouth?"
2500Study?
2500Tell me, my dear: you''re not taking control of your son''s upbringing?
2500That in all that searching, you do n''t find the time for finding?"
2500That perhaps your little son would be spared, because you love him, because you would like to keep him from suffering and pain and disappointment?
2500The sacrifices and the invocation of the gods were excellent-- but was that all?
2500Tiredness and hunger had weakened him, and whatever for should he walk on, wherever to, to which goal?
2500To reach this place, the self, myself, the Atman, there was another way, which was worthwhile looking for?
2500Very good are the teachings of the exalted one, how could I find a fault in them?"
2500Was he not a Samana, a man who was at home nowhere, a pilgrim?
2500Was it necessary to live for this?
2500Was it not a comedy, a strange and stupid matter, this repetition, this running around in a fateful circle?
2500Was it not due to this death, that he was now like a child, so full of trust, so without fear, so full of joy?
2500Was it not the Atman, He, the only one, the singular one?
2500Was it not this what he used to intend to kill in his ardent years as a penitent?
2500Was it not this, which today had finally come to its death, here in the forest, by this lovely river?
2500Was it possible, to breathe in again and again, to breathe out, to feel hunger, to eat again, to sleep again, to sleep with a woman again?
2500Was it really Prajapati who had created the world?
2500Was it still at all possible to be alive?
2500Was it therefore good, was it right, was it meaningful and the highest occupation to make offerings to the gods?
2500Was not Atman in him, did not the pristine source spring from his heart?
2500Was this cycle not exhausted and brought to a conclusion for him?
2500Was this not the river in which he had intended to drown himself, in past times, a hundred years ago, or had he dreamed this?
2500Were his father''s religious devotion, his teachers warnings, his own knowledge, his own search able to keep him safe?
2500Were the gods not creations, created like me and you, subject to time, mortal?
2500What can stand the test?
2500What is fasting?
2500What is holding one''s breath?
2500What is it that you''ve learned, what you''re able to do?"
2500What is leaving one''s body?
2500What might you be able to do?"
2500What remains?
2500What would be its title?"
2500What would you be, if Kamala was n''t helping you?"
2500What, oh Siddhartha, what would then become of all of this what is holy, what is precious, what is venerable on earth?!"
2500Whatever should I do at home and at my father''s place?
2500When was there ever a time when he had experienced happiness, felt a true bliss?
2500Where are you going to, oh friend?"
2500Where else might my path lead me to?
2500Where is Siddhartha the Brahman?
2500Where is Siddhartha the Samana?
2500Where is Siddhartha the rich man?
2500Wherever from, he asked his heart, where from did you get this happiness?
2500Who has kept the Samana Siddhartha safe from Sansara, from sin, from greed, from foolishness?
2500Who would n''t like to give an advice to a poor, ignorant Samana, who is coming from the jackals of the forest?"
2500Whose language would he speak?
2500Why did he, the irreproachable one, have to wash off sins every day, strive for a cleansing every day, over and over every day?
2500Why had Gotama, at that time, in the hour of all hours, sat down under the bo- tree, where the enlightenment hit him?
2500Why not?
2500With whom would he share his life?
2500Would n''t you, ferryman, like to accept these clothes, which are a nuisance to me, from me?
2500Would you actually believe that you had committed your foolish acts in order to spare your son from committing them too?
2500Would you like to give me a kiss for a poem?"
2500Would you like to tell me something, oh honourable one?"
2500Would you think, my dear, anybody might perhaps be spared from taking this path?
2500Would you want to hesitate, do you want to wait any longer?"
2500Yes, he thought, standing there with his head low, what would remain of all that which seemed to us to be holy?
2500You also do not love-- how else could you practise love as a craft?
2500You do n''t beat him?
2500You do n''t force him?
2500You do n''t punish him?"
2500You''ve changed a lot, my friend.--And so you''ve now become a ferryman?"
2500Your stone, your tree, your river-- are they actually a reality?"
15964A mistake?
15964Am I to come with you?
15964Amroth,I said, bewildered,"you can not mean--?"
15964And this place-- how can I describe it?
15964And what do you feel about it?
15964Are you vexed?
15964But how did you learn this?
15964But if a man sees that he is wanting in this kind of perception,I said,"what can he do?
15964But is a great position in the world,I said,"whether inherited or attained, a dangerous thing?"
15964But then,I said,"what is the use of all that?
15964But what about Charles?
15964But what am I to do, and where am I to go?
15964But what becomes of all those whom we have loved?
15964But what do you feel about it now?
15964But will you not advise me what to do next?
15964But,I said,"I can not understand yet; why was that terrible leap demanded of me?
15964But,I said,"can one revive the old lives at will?
15964But,I said,"if I may carry the thought further, might not all be true?
15964But,I said,"tell me this, Charmides, was there never any one in the old days whom you cared for like that?"
15964But,I said,"we can visit the earth with incredible rapidity?"
15964Can I revisit,I said,"the scene of my last life-- see and know what those I loved are doing and feeling?"
15964Can not you see that, whatever this place is, it is not a sentimental place? 15964 Can you manage to hobble a few steps?
15964Can you trust me and go with me? 15964 Do n''t you feel sorry for the muddle and ignorance and pathos of it all?
15964Do you mean to say,I said,"that they were actually aware that they had no sort of power to inflict any injury upon me?"
15964Do you never think--?
15964Does salvation belong to poets and novelists?
15964Forgive you?
15964Have I been dreaming?
15964Have you any hope,said Amroth,"of recovery?"
15964Have you not yet guessed,said Amroth sternly,"how terrible Love can be?
15964How are you feeling, dear sir?
15964How can I explain?
15964I can endure it,I said, laughing,"for it does me good to see you and to hear you; but tell me, Amroth, what have you been about all this time?
15964I thought that God was everywhere-- within us, about us, beyond us? 15964 I was afraid,"I said,"that it would all be so different-- like a catechism''Dost thou believe-- is this thy desire?''
15964May I ask,I said,"exactly what they could have done to me, and what their real power is?"
15964Now is not this heavenly?
15964Old Charles?
15964Quick, let us go,she said;"what are we waiting for?"
15964So this is the end of all our amusement?
15964Some of my own happiest days were spent at Tooting: would you be surprised if I said that it reminded me of Tooting?
15964Suppose we say a boy who has been working too hard for his health, and has been given a long holiday?
15964The meaning?
15964There,he said,"what do you think of that?
15964Was it here? 15964 Was it you,"I said,"that have been showing me all this?
15964Well, but_ who_ are they?
15964Well,I said to Cynthia with a show of cheerfulness,"what shall we do next?
15964Well,I said,"I am amazed-- but now what am I to do?
15964Well,said Amroth,"would you like to see more?"
15964What am I to do?
15964What is that?
15964What is the meaning of this hateful business?
15964What made him do that?
15964What would have happened if they had found us here?
15964Where am I going, brother?
15964Where are you going to take me?
15964Where on earth has this enchanting baby sprung from?
15964Where on earth have we got to now?
15964Who are these people,I said,"whom one sometimes meets, who are so far removed from all of us?
15964Who knows but that I shall be sent to help them away, and carry them, as I carried you, to the crystal sea of peace? 15964 Will she get through?"
15964Will you forgive me then,I said,"if I ask you plainly what this place is?
15964Would it surprise you to learn that most of these people whom you see here passed upon earth for wicked and unsatisfactory characters? 15964 Yes,"I said,"it has done me good to see all this-- it makes many things plain; but can you bear to leave them thus?"
15964Yes,he said,"the crags and the sunset-- do you not remember?
15964You confuse me greatly,I said;"surely you do not mean that spiritual life and progress are a matter of intellectual energy?"
15964And if your work with me is done, where are you now going?"
15964And why did I confront it with such abject cowardice and dismay?
15964Are you feeling strong enough to go on?"
15964But now if Cynthia chooses to amuse herself with other people, what do I care?
15964But now it may be going to be better; you can tell me where I can find people, perhaps?
15964But the figure that came out to us-- how shall I describe him?
15964But what of that?
15964But what was it that I saw, and what was it that was told me?
15964But where do these unhappy people come from?"
15964But who are you, my child?
15964Ca n''t something be done to show everybody what a ghastly mistake it is, to get so tied down to the earth and the things of earth?"
15964Ca n''t you take some interest?
15964Can one look back into the long range of previous lives?
15964Can people indeed fall and die there?"
15964Did not your heart burn within you at his luminous exposition?
15964Did you ever see anything more beautiful than those pine- trees on the slope there, with the blue distance between their stems?
15964Do n''t you remember the feeling at such times of how many there were in the world whom one might love, if one had leisure and opportunity and energy?
15964Do n''t you see that their grief and loss is the one beautiful thing in those lives, and all that it is doing for them, drawing them hither?
15964Do you know that your talk is very provincial?
15964Do you not remember another life in which you loved a friend with a strange love, that surprised you by its nearness?
15964Does that uplift you?
15964Had I ever desired it?
15964Had they invaded, corrupted, hurt other poor wills and lives?
15964Had they passed out of my life?
15964Have you found your work and place here yet?"
15964Have you had a thought of me?"
15964He came up to us, and bending down to Cynthia with great tenderness, took her hand, and said,"Will you stay here quietly a little, Cynthia, and rest?
15964He was silent for a little, musing, till I said,"Will you not tell me some of your own adventures?
15964How can I explain that?
15964How can that be?"
15964How do you feel?"
15964How is he to learn to love what he does not admire and to abhor what he does not hate?
15964How is it I was not merged in light and life?"
15964How was that?
15964I am not quite unpresentable, even here?
15964I can not read your mind clearly-- it is occupied with something I can not grasp-- what is your work in heaven?"
15964I do not want to change it, and I am very happy, but is n''t it all rather pointless?
15964I said,"Then is it a bad thing to be busy in the world, because it takes off your mind from the things which matter?"
15964I understand the case of the oppressors well enough; but about the oppressed, what is the justice of that?
15964I was as the lost sheep found, as the wayward son taken home; and should I spoil my joy with recalling what was past and done with for ever?
15964I was silent for a little, and then I said:"I remember now more clearly, but did I really see Him?
15964I wonder if that is possible?
15964IV Once I said:"Which kind of people do you find it hardest to help along?"
15964If Death is dreadful, what must that be which is stronger than Death?
15964Is Lucius like an arm- chair, too?"
15964Is it some judgment which I am to face, or am I to suffer pain?
15964Is not the mistake to think that one holds the truth in its entirety, and that one has no more to learn and to perceive?
15964Is one indeed liable to this kind of interruption, Amroth?"
15964Is pain indeed the end of all?"
15964Is that permitted?"
15964Is there not a fortuitous element there, an interruption of the Divine plan?
15964It can not surely be that people in the body should avoid employment, and give themselves to secluded meditation?
15964It is all a matter of feeling, then?
15964It seems impossible, but was I told to jump down?
15964May I conclude, then, that this is your intention?"
15964May I help him?"
15964May I stay with you a little?"
15964May I venture to say frankly how well she is looking, and you too?
15964Only a few who are bold and kind-- like you, for instance?"
15964Perhaps you would like to be introduced to him?"
15964Shall I have to undergo a course here?"
15964She said to me one day as we sat together,"I wish you would tell me what this is all about?
15964Surely one need not go stumbling and cowed into the presence of God?"
15964Surely these are all very important matters?
15964The evil I had done, was it indeed evil?
15964The things that I had wrought, ignoble, cruel, base, mean, selfish-- had I ever willed to do them?
15964Then he looked at me, and said,"I daresay you are surprised?
15964VII One day I said to Amroth,"Are there no rules of life here?
15964Was it always thus, I wondered?
15964Was it that he thought me unequal to the experience?
15964Was it true?
15964We were rich at my home, and in society-- you understand?
15964Were those grievous things still growing, seeding, flowering in other lives left behind?
15964Were we not away from such things as mouldering flesh and broken bones?
15964What are they doing here?"
15964What are we here for but to get acquainted with one another-- to let our inmost thoughts talk together?
15964What do you think?"
15964What had happened to me?
15964What has happened to me?
15964What is one to do?"
15964What is one to make of that?"
15964What is the good of being wiser than the aged, if one has more commandments to keep?"
15964What is the meaning of all this pain, which seems to do people nothing but harm, and makes them a burden to themselves and others too?"
15964What is the worth of that?"
15964What is this extraordinarily depressing place?
15964What was the mystery, then?
15964What, then, is the great hindrance in the life of men?"
15964When we were outside, I said to the guide,"May I ask you one question?
15964Where are you bound?"
15964Where do you think we are?"
15964Where''s John?"
15964Who do you think, by the light of your psychology, are all these simple people?"
15964Who would have supposed that an old recollection like that would have disturbed me so much?
15964Who would have thought that I should have forgotten my visions so soon?
15964Why can not God leave us alone?"
15964Why can one never have a moment''s peace?
15964Why do we have to go and come, up and down, backwards and forwards, in this absurd way, as if we were still in the body?
15964Why not just slip off the leads, and fly down over the crags like a pair of pigeons?
15964Why not settle down, and make the poor girl a little mote worthy of yourself?"
15964Why should the pure, clear, joyful, sleepless life I now feel be tainted and hampered and drugged by the body?
15964Why trouble about it?
15964Will you come with me into the house to see the likenesses of things, or shall we have an hour alone together, and try to look into essences?"
15964Will you not tell me something of yourself in return?
15964Will you pledge yourself as a gentleman, and, as I believe I am right in saying, as a Christian, to do this?"
15964Will you tell me a little about yourself?
15964Wo n''t you tell me what it is?"
15964Would it be of use if I remained here for a time to talk with that poor man?
15964Yet I did struggle on, with a hideous faintness and weariness-- but would it never stop?
15964Yet how am I here?
15964Yet surely, I thought, it is all something outside me?
15964You did not expect to see such terrors and dangers here?
15964You know, do n''t you, how I was being employed, before I came back, God be praised, to find you?
15964You remember the blessing of the pure in heart, that they shall see God?
15964and when?
15964said I;"the evil as well as the good?"
11304How soon will the tree fall?
11304Which is the better-- a great memory or some trifling comfort?''
11304Why should I not live as long?
11304''A hermitage on Castle Island?''
11304''And I leave yourself to imagine the groaning that was heard in the church that morning, for were n''t they all small tenants?
11304''And did n''t you go in after them?''
11304''And if a car got through in February, why ca n''t we get through on the first of June?''
11304''And just because I saved you, you thought you would come to save me?''
11304''And knowing you were going down to hell?''
11304''And she''s willing to come back?''
11304''And where would I be picking up a living if it were n''t on a cab- rank, or you either?''
11304''And you did n''t expect to find me?''
11304''And you do n''t know why?''
11304''And you still read Latin, classical Latin, easily?''
11304''And your sisters are nuns?''
11304''Are Bishops ever expected to have reasons?''
11304''Are there no letters this morning?''
11304''Are you?
11304''But does anything return?''
11304''But has she a diploma from the Academy?
11304''But how did he treat her in the end, despite all her kindnesses?
11304''But if it were his fault?''
11304''But if she be in no danger, of what use would the Sacrament be to her?''
11304''But why am I writing about myself?
11304''But why did you come to me to marry you?
11304''But why should you be in doubt?''
11304''But your work?''
11304''Ca n''t you give a reason?''
11304''Charges-- who is making charges?''
11304''Come in, will you?''
11304''Could anybody be more anti- Christian than that?''
11304''Did O''Grady leave this paper here for me to read,''he asked himself,''or did he forget to take it away with him?
11304''Did n''t you say that it is n''t drink that destroys a man''s faith, but woman?
11304''Do n''t you believe in these things?''
11304''Do you still think you were sent for a purpose?''
11304''Does anyone know exactly what he believes?
11304''Have not men always believed in bird augury from the beginning of time?
11304''Have you spoken of the mistake you made in confession, Father Oliver?''
11304''How all what came about?''
11304''How do you do, Oliver?''
11304''How is that?''
11304''How is that?''
11304''How is that?''
11304''I have come back to my letter to ask if you would like me to go to see your baby?
11304''I wonder if Mary knows?''
11304''Is n''t it when the nerves are on a stretch that we notice little things that do n''t concern us at all?''
11304''Is the whole thing a fairy- tale, a piece of midsummer madness, I wonder?
11304''It would be safer, would n''t it?''
11304''More useful?''
11304''Must you really go after tea?''
11304''My good man, why are you talking like that?
11304''No, I have n''t?
11304''No, why should I?''
11304''Now what are you saying?''
11304''Now what instinct guided its search for worms?''
11304''Now why does he take the southern road?''
11304''Now will you mind what you''re sayin'', and the priest listenin''to you?''
11304''Now, Christy, which do you reckon to be the shorter road?''
11304''Now, Moran, is n''t it strange?
11304''Now, Moran, sit down and eat a bit, wo n''t you?''
11304''Now, is it out bathing you''re going, your reverence?
11304''Now, what are you talkin''about?
11304''Now, what will Father O''Grady answer to all this?''
11304''Now, you''ll tell me if I''m in the way?''
11304''Of course you''re surprised-- how could it be otherwise?
11304''Over the page the saint says:"Every man naturally desireth to know; but what doth knowledge avail without the fear of God?"
11304''Put her utterly out of my mind,''Father Oliver cried aloud;''now what does he mean by that?''
11304''So Miss Glynn has written to you?''
11304''So you''re going to be married, Pat?''
11304''Soldier or shepherd, what matter now she is gone?''
11304''Then you side with the Archbishop?''
11304''To supper?''
11304''Was it dying or dead you saw me?''
11304''Was n''t it I that saw Patsy?
11304''Was no attempt,''he asked,''made to marry you to some girl with a big fortune?''
11304''Well, Mary, what are you thinking of doing?''
11304''Well, if you''re sure you''ve nothing to do, may I stay to supper?''
11304''Well, well,''said Father Oliver,''you see there''s no child--''''But you''ll be waitin''a minute for the sake of the poor child, your reverence?
11304''What are you saying, Gogarty?
11304''What is it but a step?
11304''What popular opinion is there to defy?
11304''What reason could she have?''
11304''What should I be answering?''
11304''What time do you be making it, Gogarty?''
11304''What would I be doin'', going into a Protestant church?''
11304''Which way are you going?
11304''Why all this hurry?''
11304''Why did he come here disturbing me with his beliefs,''he cried out,''poisoning my will?''
11304''Why do you think she regretted my garden?''
11304''Why is that?''
11304''Why should she have selected that cottage, the only pretty one in the county?
11304''Will you leave off pushing me?''
11304''You do n''t mean that he is so senile and superstitious as that?
11304''You do n''t mean to say that you''re thinking of leaving the convent, Mary?''
11304''You do?''
11304''You know the name of Mr. Poole''s book,"The Source of the Christian River"?
11304''You mean that I should put you up here and let you get drunk?''
11304''You think so?''
11304''You think, then,''Father O''Grady said,''that a Christian forfeits his faith if he inquires?''
11304''You''d like to see my garden?''
11304''You''ll enjoy the drive?''
11304''You''ll put up your horse?
11304''You''re quite sure I''m not in the way-- I''m not interfering with any plans?''
11304''Your reverence, will the child be always a Protestant?
11304Ah, Landor''s"Hellenics"in the original Latin: how did that book come here?''
11304All Tinnick would be laughing at him, and Eliza, what would she think of him?
11304All that night, all next day, and for how many days?
11304Am I not right?''
11304And does it not seem to you that, after all, there was some design in what has happened?
11304And if I did go to London, of what should I speak to him?
11304And where would she go if she did leave, unless she lived with you?''
11304And which self did he think the worthier, his present or his dead self?
11304And who could doubt that saints attained the eternal life, which is God, while still living in the temporal flesh?
11304And why should he be disbelieving in that which has been prophesied for generations about the Abbot of Kilronan?''
11304Are n''t you two miles nearer to Father Moran than you are to me?''
11304As for Mary--''''You surely do n''t think she''s going to leave?''
11304Because I liked you?
11304But a long field lay between his house and the school- house, and what would it avail him to see the empty room?
11304But did he think of the church?
11304But had I?
11304But have you made inquiries?
11304But is a man''s truth also woman''s truth?
11304But of what use thinking of these things?
11304But our Lord says that in heaven there is neither marriage nor giving in marriage, and what would heaven be to him without Nora?
11304But the lake-- where was it?
11304But this woman was moved merely by impulses; and what is more inexplicable than an impulse?
11304But was he going to begin the story over again?
11304But was he obliged to answer it?
11304But was he sure if it had n''t been for Eliza that he would n''t have married Annie McGrath?
11304But was she right in this?
11304But was there water enough in the strait at this season of the year?
11304But what connection between Nora Glynn and this dead woman?
11304But what could Poole''s reason be for wishing him to leave Ireland, to go abroad?
11304But what did he know about such women?
11304But what was he to do?
11304But what''s the matter, Gogarty?
11304But where should he go?
11304But where should he go?
11304But who was he, he''d like to be told, that he should set himself up as Father Peter''s judge?
11304But why am I writing all these things to you?''
11304But why is it extraordinary?
11304But why quote when I can send you the book?
11304But why should he assume that he would not rise higher?
11304But why should the wind rise?
11304But why was he thinking of her again?
11304Christy, will you take his reverence''s horse?
11304Could he fall into such miserable decadence?
11304Could he have chosen a more appropriate one?
11304Could one find a more beautiful name for a hermit?
11304Could such obedience to rule be any man''s duty?
11304Did n''t I know the Colonel''s grandfather and his grandmother?
11304Did you ever read"The Imitation of Christ"?
11304Did you receive that letter?
11304Do n''t they only throw it at the child?''
11304Do n''t you know well enough I''d have been suspended?
11304Do n''t you think we might go into the garden?''
11304Do we find life in adventure or by our own fireside?
11304Do you ever turn to these books?
11304Do you know anything, Father O''Grady, about this man''s writing?
11304Do you like reading Latin?''
11304Do you remember an old man called Patsy Murphy?
11304Do you remember saying that the loneliness of the country sometimes forced you to kneel down to pray that you might die?
11304Do you remember saying that you intended to be Reverend Mother?
11304Do you remember the dark gray clouds tearing across the sky, and we walking side by side, I trying to get away from you?
11304Do you think that a woman can not repent?
11304Do you want me to baptize the child or not?''
11304Does anyone want to be forgotten utterly?
11304Does it?
11304Egan?''
11304For did not the miracles of the saints prove that they were no longer subject to natural laws?
11304For had n''t he begun to feel that what they needed was a really efficient priest, one who would look after their temporal interests?
11304For had n''t he heard, as he came up the street, that Mrs. Rean had stolen the child from Mrs. Egan, and had had it baptized by the minister?
11304Had he not felt her breath upon his cheek?
11304Had he not written saying he was going, and was n''t that enough?
11304Had n''t Moran said that there were times when we all wanted drink?
11304Has it not often seemed strange to you that we go through life without ever being able to reveal the soul that is in us?
11304Has n''t the holy water of the Church more power in it than the water they have?
11304Have n''t we all heard the Archbishop say that any of his priests who appeals to Rome against him will get the worst of it?''
11304Have you forgotten how anxious I was that you should write the history of the lake and its castles?
11304Have you inquired, dear Father O''Grady, what this man''s writings are, if he is a Catholic or a Protestant?
11304He surely did not think it well that Father Peter had died, his friend, his benefactor, the man in whose house he was living?
11304How did you guess that?''
11304How many times had he said that?
11304How much do you think she''d come for?''
11304I do not say he will try to undermine your faith, but how can he do otherwise if he believe in what he writes?
11304I hope you have made all these inquiries, and if you have not made them, will you make them at once and write to me and relieve my anxiety?
11304I said to myself,"If this be so-- if, in return for kind thought-- Why should n''t she suffer?
11304I should n''t like my daughter--''''What do you mean?''
11304I thought; and, desirous of seeing it fall, I walked on, guided by the sound, till I saw at the end of the glade-- whom do you think?
11304I was just thinking--''''Of me?''
11304If Father Peter felt that Nora Glynn was not the kind of schoolmistress the parish required, should he not send her away?
11304If I were sent for a purpose--''''But you do n''t believe seriously, Moran, that you were sent for a purpose?''
11304If there was a miracle that night, why should n''t there be a miracle to- night?
11304If this were not so, why should your whiteness and colour and gaiety remind me always of the spring- time?
11304If we are to believe at all in spiritual influences-- and who denies them?--can we minimize these?
11304In what light was he to read it?
11304Is it because we are ashamed, or is it that we do not know ourselves?
11304Is it really true that he opposes the roofing of the abbey on account of the legend?
11304Is it too much I am asking of thee, O my God, is it too much?
11304Is n''t it all like a dream?
11304Is there any more of it?''
11304It is not unlikely, for what do we do all through our lives but to repeat ourselves?
11304It sounds a little absurd, does n''t it?
11304It was certain that if Poole were in love with Nora he would do all in his power to keep a poor priest( was it thus they spoke of him?)
11304It was therefore his fate to go in quest of-- what?
11304Just a glass to keep me going, and I will go straight out of your parish, so that none of the disgrace will fall upon you; or-- what do you think?
11304Life?
11304Moran called it a miracle and it seems like one, but will it last?
11304Mr. Poole''s age-- what was it?
11304Nature has given you many gifts: I wonder what will become of you?
11304No matter, I ca n''t stay here, so why should I trouble to discover a reason for my going?
11304Now was that story going to begin again?
11304Now what would the end be?
11304Now you wo n''t be thinking me a fool for having come to see you this evening, Gogarty?
11304Now, do you mean to say that you have found a person who will suit us?...
11304Now, do you think that quite right and fair towards one''s sister?''
11304Now, how is one to stop in a convent if one''s own sister interferes in one''s confessions?''
11304Now, what reason does he give for such an extraordinary decision?''
11304Now, will you be turning the horse up the road?
11304Of what use are signs and omens if the interpretation is always obscure?
11304Of what use to lie in one''s bed when sleep is far and will not be beckoned?
11304Once he was an ardent student in Maynooth, he had been an energetic curate; and now what was he?
11304One thing matters-- do I stay or go?''
11304Or did she wish to revenge herself?
11304Or was it that he had worn out a certain side of his nature in Bridget Clery''s cottage?
11304Our tempers are part of ourselves?
11304Pass me the tobacco, will you?''
11304Poole might wish to make a fool of him, but what was her reason for advising him to go abroad?
11304Poole?''
11304Round by Kilronan or across the Bridge of Keel?''
11304Save it and let the weasel go supperless?
11304Saved himself from himself,''he repeated;''can anybody be saved from himself?''
11304Seeing me, he took off his hat-- you know the tall hat he wears-- a hat given him twenty or thirty years ago by whom?
11304Shall we kneel down?''
11304She might love them independent of their opposition, but how could she love them if she knew they were only born to do wrong?
11304She seemed to him like a spirit, and is n''t the spring like a spirit?
11304Should he not welcome change?
11304So it was said; but what did he know of the souls of the priests with whom he dined, smoked pipes, and played cards?
11304Sometimes the shepherd grows weary of watching, and the question comes, Has a man no duty towards himself?
11304Tell me if such a sin can be forgiven?''
11304The Mayo cock or the Galway cock?''
11304The distance was much the same-- a couple of miles shorter by the southern road, no doubt, but what are a couple of miles to an old roadster?
11304The end may be marriage-- with whom?
11304The men''s eyes met, and Father O''Grady said, as if he wished to change the subject:''You were born at Tinnick, were you not?''
11304They merely wring the will out of us; and well we may ask, Who would care for his life if he knew he was going to lose it on the morrow?
11304This will seem contradictory, for did n''t I say that I could n''t forget your cruelty in my first letter?
11304Was it because he feared that if he once went away he might never come back?
11304Was it in some vain, proselytizing idea that I invited you?
11304Was it not a very pretty idea to cover that end of the garden with rambling roses?''
11304Was it the ugly cottage that put thoughts of her into his mind?
11304Was its scarlet not finer than Lady Hindlip?
11304Was n''t Patsy Donovan saying to me only yesterday that the Archbishop was a brave man to be letting any roof at all on the abbey?
11304Was the letter he returned to her prompted by Mr. Poole and by a spirit of revenge?
11304We never talked like this before, did we, Gogarty?
11304We shall see, however, what kind of nib he uses, fine or blunt?''
11304What did she know about fishing?
11304What excuse?
11304What had he confessed?
11304What is his reputation in the literary world?''
11304What is the spring but an impulse?
11304What matter whether they bloomed a week earlier or a week later?
11304What was to be done?
11304What will you be doing all this time?
11304What will you do then?''
11304What would be its first principle?
11304When will she write again?''
11304Where should I be now if it were not for you?
11304Where would I be now if it had n''t been that you kept on with me and brought me back, cured?
11304Which self is the true self-- the peaceful or the choleric?
11304Who amongst us does not remember the old nurse who told him stories of magic and witchcraft?
11304Who can say?''
11304Who else would take an interest in this forlorn Garranard and its people, the reeds and rushes of existence?
11304Who knows?
11304Who was she that she should come telling him that he lacked experience?
11304Who would think of asking himself if he liked beech- trees, or larches, or willows?
11304Why am I telling it to you?''
11304Why did he come here?''
11304Why did she come to Garranard?''
11304Why do n''t you come to Italy?
11304Why do n''t you write it and send it to me?
11304Why had he never brought her here?
11304Why should he not keep his mind for his own enjoyment and for the enjoyment of his friends, treating it like his pleasure grounds or park?
