7142 | How then could we put our trust in such friendship or freedom as we had here? 7142 Again, was there ever city rebelling that did not believe that it possessed either in itself or in its alliances resources adequate to the enterprise? 7142 And after all, as I have often asked, what would you have, young men? 7142 And how, pray, could it turn out as good for us to serve as for you to rule? 7142 And what could be fairer than to tell them to evacuate Boeotia if they wished to get what they asked? 7142 And what is this but to make greater the enemies that you have already, and to force others to become so who would otherwise have never thought of it? 7142 Besides, why should they grant a truce for Athenian ground? 7142 But do you consider that there is no security in the policy which we indicate? 7142 But how can it be right that citizens of the same state should be held unworthy of the same privileges? 7142 How can you avoid making enemies of all existing neutrals who shall look at case from it that one day or another you will attack them? 7142 If this was not abominable, what is? 7142 Is it in our money? 7142 Is it in our ships? 7142 Or what, pray, is the meaning of their reception of Corcyra by fraud, and their holding it against us by force? 7142 Suppose that we were islanders; can you conceive a more impregnable position? 7142 The herald replied:Then they are not the arms of those who fought with us?" |

22677 | After the violation of so many pledges, how was it possible to put faith in M. Jonnart''s assurances? |
22677 | And how had they kept those promises? |
22677 | And was he encouraged in this move by those who were secretly opposed to an accommodation with the King? |

22677 | Many a time, as the weary months dragged on, he went over his past course, asking himself:"Could he have been mistaken, after all?" |
22677 | Of course, it may be asked, such being the facts, what value had the promise of 150,000 men? |
22677 | Small wonder that the honest sailor''s gorge rose at such proceedings:"Could I associate myself with manoeuvres of this sort?" |

22677 | They were a hundred times right; but what was odious in America, was it not odious in Greece?" |

22677 | Until the truth could no longer be ignored, the Allies persisted in the egregrious[ Transcriber''s note: egregious?] |
22677 | Was M. Jonnart, after all, to succeed no better than Admiral Dartige du Fournet? |
22677 | Was it not a fact that whenever the High Commissioner visited the capital, he met with nothing but respect, sympathy, and cries of"_ Vive la France_"? |

22677 | What was to be done? |
22677 | What would Greece do if the Allied forces retired into Greek territory? |
22677 | What would happen when the time- limit expired? |
22677 | Whether in pursuing the success of the day-- to which their personal reputations were attached-- they did not lose sight of the morrow? |
22677 | Whether they have not scattered the seed without sufficiently heeding the crop? |
22677 | Why did he shrink from possession? |
22677 | Why did they not resist the landing of the Allies? |
22677 | Why, then, did he not seize it? |
22677 | Would Greece alone stand out? |
22677 | Would the denouement be the same? |
22677 | Yes, they said, one division to begin with; but what if the Allies get stuck in the Straits, as we believe they will be, and call upon us for more? |
22677 | [ 11] Yet of yielding there was no sign:"Give in?" |
22677 | [ 2] Why, then, was M. Benazet encouraged to negotiate? |
22677 | [ 3] But how could he hope to argue successfully against a man who, under the appearances of a scrupulous conscience, recognized no law? |
22677 | cried M. Venizelos: can you allow such things to stand in the way of national ideals? |

32318 | If she had a gown, or any of the female ornaments, better than yours, would not you choose them rather than your own? |
32318 | If your neighbor, Xenophon, had a horse better than your own, would you not choose him preferably to your own? |
32318 | Tell me, Philesia,said Aspasia,"whether if your neighbor had a piece of gold of more value than your own, you would not choose it before your own?" |
32318 | Then are we to impose all our enactments on men and none on women? |
32318 | What should we expect the pupils of such masters to be? 32318 A Spartan mother who has lost her boy in battle exclaims:Did I not bear him that he might die for Sparta?" |

32318 | GORGO(_ to an old woman_).--Are you from the Court, mother? |
32318 | Gorgo, one of the ladies, goes by appointment to the house of her friend Praxinoe, where the dialogue begins:***** GORGO.--Is Praxinoe at home? |

46508 | called Marco, with whom she was a great favourite,"Have you brought us to eat?" |
46508 | cried Petro, but Aunt Angelikà © said,"The fish and the supper, yes-- but what will we do with my white clothes and the donkey?" |

14972 | Are not all things, even profanity, permissible in dreams? |
14972 | Between that quiet canvas of the''Presentation,''so modest in its cool greys and subdued gold, and the tumult of flying, running? |
14972 | But having once stood there, how can we forget the station? |
14972 | But how to get at the window, which is pretty high above the ground, and out of reach of the most ardent revellers? |
14972 | But unless he had seen it with his eyes, what poet would have ventured to devise the thing and display it even in the dumb show of a tragedy? |

14972 | But who can resist the influence of Greek ideas at the Cap S. Martin? |

14972 | Did he hope that the exiles would return to Florence, and that he would enjoy an honourable life, an immortality of glorious renown? |
14972 | Did he imitate the Roman Brutus in the noble spirit of his predecessors, Olgiati and Boscoli, martyrs to the creed of tyrannicide? |
14972 | Did the murderers find it blurred in its fine lineaments, furrowed with lines of care, hollowed with the soul''s hunger? |

14972 | How can we answer these questions except by supposing that music was for him the utterance through art of some emotion? |
14972 | How can we fail, amid the tumult of our common cares, to feel at times the hush of that far- off tranquillity? |
14972 | How can you be certain that the part itself did not stimulate his musical faculty to fresh and still more appropriate creativeness? |
14972 | How can you prove he did not feel a natural appropriateness in the_ motifs_ he selected from his memory for Cherubino? |
14972 | How can you prove to me that the melodies he gave to Cherubino had not been evolved from situations similar to those in which Cherubino finds himself? |
14972 | How shall we describe their potency? |
14972 | How should the legend be interpreted? |
14972 | I continued,''is the drama but emotion presented in its most external forms as action? |
14972 | I wondered whether they were tingling still with the heart- throbs and with the pressure of those many arms? |
14972 | If Luini had felt passion, who shall say? |
14972 | If the gods that men have made and ignorantly worshipped be really but glorified copies of their own souls, where is the sun in this parallel? |
14972 | Is not, indeed, our whole life of this nature? |
14972 | Is there truth, then, in the dim tradition that this mountain land was colonised by Etruscans? |
14972 | Is, then, the anthropomorphic God as momentary and as accidental in the system of the world as that vapoury spectre? |
14972 | Is_ Ras_ the root of Rhætia? |
14972 | Meanwhile, what had become of young Goldoni? |
14972 | My literary taste was tickled by the praise bestowed in the Augustan age on Rhætic grapes by Virgil: Et quo te carmine dicam, Rhætica? |
14972 | Now, really, were we amusing ourselves? |
14972 | Of one of these he asked,''Whose is yonder funeral procession returning from San Pietro?'' |

14972 | THE CASTELLO OF FERRARA Is it possible that the patron saints of cities should mould the temper of the people to their own likeness? |
14972 | The women fluttered about us and kept asking whether we really liked it all? |
14972 | The young poet felt at home; how could a comic poet feel otherwise? |
14972 | Then, with a sudden and vehement transition to the pathos of her own sorrow, she exclaims:--''Halla mai bista nissunu Tumbà l''omi pe li canti?'' |
14972 | Thereupon she began to scold her charge, and say,''Is this a fair and comely thing, to stand all day at balconies and throw flowers at passers- by? |
14972 | These were of unquestionable value; for has not Cicognara engraved them on a page of his classic monograph? |
14972 | To reach such a garden and such sunlight who would not mount six stories and thread a labyrinth of passages? |
14972 | VII.--LORENZINO BRUTUS It remains to ask ourselves, What opinion can be justly formed of Lorenzino''s character and motives? |

14972 | Was the winged and sworded genius upon the Ephesus column meant for a genius of Death or a genius of Love? |

14972 | What, we think, as we gaze upward, would the Master have given for such a craftsman? |
14972 | When I show thy shirt, who will vow to let his beard grow till the murderer is slain? |

14972 | Where then can a more complete artistic harmony be found than in the opera?'' |
14972 | Who is there left to do it? |
14972 | Who knows what cry of the Convention made the painter fling his palette down and leave the masterpiece he might have spoiled? |
14972 | Who shall translate those curiously perfect words to which tone and rhythm have been indissolubly wedded? |
14972 | Who was he? |
14972 | Who will undertake thy vengeance? |
14972 | Why did the Lord so much desire you? |
14972 | Why does the torrent shout, the avalanche reply in thunder to the music of the sun, the trees and rocks and meadows cry their''Holy, Holy, Holy''? |
14972 | Why linger pondering in the porch? |
14972 | Why rose the Camaldolis and Chartreuses over Europe? |
14972 | Why, morning after morning, does the red dawn flush the pinnacles of Monte Rosa above cloud and mist unheeded? |
14972 | Why, then, is this? |
14972 | Why, then, should monks, so persuaded of the riddle of the earth, have placed themselves in scenes so beautiful? |
14972 | Without some other power than the mind of man, could men have fashioned for themselves those ideals that they named their gods? |

14972 | _ Auf den Alpen droben ist ein herrliches Leben!_ Did the echoes of Gian Galeazzo''s convent ever wake to such a tune as this before? |

14972 | whether it was true we danced? |
14972 | whether we should come to the_ pranzo_? |
14972 | who will console me for your loss? |
14972 | why did he use it precisely in connection with this dramatic situation? |
6200 | ''And another disputed point is, which is the fairer?'' 6200 ''And is this wish and this desire common to all? |
6200 | ''And what does he gain who possesses the good?'' 6200 ''And which is the nobler? |
6200 | ''But why of generation?'' 6200 ''I shall not ask which is the richer,''I said;''for you two are friends, are you not?'' |
6200 | ''Still,''she said,''the answer suggests a further question: What is given by the possession of beauty?'' 6200 ''Then if this be the nature of love, can you tell me further,''she said,''what is the manner of the pursuit? |
6200 | ''Then love,''she said, may be described generally as the love of the everlasting possession of the good?'' 6200 ''To which must be added that they love the possession of the good?'' |
6200 | ''What then?'' 6200 And you will grant that what is fairest is loveliest? |
6200 | Do you really covet wealth,he asks,"with all the trouble it involves?" |
6200 | I said:''O thou stranger woman, thou sayest well; but, assuming Love to be such as you say, what is the use of him to man?'' 6200 I turned to Menexenus, and said:''Son of Demophon, which of you two youths is the elder?'' |
6200 | I was astonished at her words and said:''Is this really true, O thou wise Diotima?'' 6200 Since these orators have appeared,"he says,"who ask, What is your pleasure? |
6200 | Then said Evangelist,''If this be thy condition, why standest thou still?'' 6200 Then said Evangelist,''Why not willing to die, since this life is attended with so many evils?'' |
6200 | What is piety? |
6200 | What is temperance? |
6200 | Who stole my cushions and pillow? |
6200 | ''But who then, Diotima,''I said,''are the lovers of wisdom, if they are neither the wise nor the foolish?'' |
6200 | ''Husband,''I say, with a tender solicitude,''Why have you passed such a foolish decree?'' |
6200 | ''What would ye write on the side of the Treaty- stone?'' |
6200 | And even so, even admitting the ground of supremacy, with what providence or consistency of purpose is it exercised? |
6200 | And how about house accommodation? |
6200 | And is that all? |
6200 | And it is this feeling that we want to understand when we ask ourselves the question, what did a belief in the gods really mean to the ancient Greeks? |
6200 | And what are these conceptions? |
6200 | And will there be no more gambling? |

6200 | But is it not He who compels this to be? |
6200 | But now, when everything will be in common what will be the good of keeping anything back? |
6200 | But some one will say: Of the beautiful in what, Socrates and Diotima? |
6200 | But what about the clothes? |
6200 | But what was the main aim of the artist who made it? |
6200 | But what, but what? |

6200 | Euripides is there accused of lowering the tragic art by introducing-- what? |

6200 | I looked then, and saw a man named Evangelist coming to him, and asked,''Wherefore dost thou cry?'' |
6200 | If right, why was Orestes punished? |
6200 | If so, what becomes of that unity of the divine law after which every religious nature seeks? |
6200 | If wrong, why did Apollo command it? |
6200 | In illustration we may cite the following lines from the"Medea,"applicable,_ mutatis mutandis_, to how many generations of suffering wives? |

6200 | Shalt thou then a sound so loud and profound from thy belly diminutive send, And shall not the high and the infinite sky go thundering on without end? |
6200 | So what will be the good of keeping anything back? |

6200 | and what is the object which they have in view? |
6200 | did I hear you aright? |
6200 | did it touch the conscience as well as the imagination and intellect? |
6200 | does not Zeus this Necessity send? |
6200 | how can I oblige you? |
6200 | or rather let me put the question more clearly, and ask: When a man loves the beautiful, what does he desire?'' |
6200 | we would ask of him;''what have ye done in Assembly to- day?'' |
6200 | what are they doing who show all this eagerness and heat which is called love? |
6200 | what shall I move? |
6200 | what the main effect on the spectator? |
6200 | where the repose of the wisdom that foreordained and knows the end? |
14634 | ''And has he got a vote?'' |
14634 | ''Does his coat Fit?'' |
14634 | ''What are you called?'' |
14634 | ''What''s his race?'' |
14634 | ''Who''s his father?'' |
14634 | A bloodhound; do you brave, do you stand me? |
14634 | A bravo is asked: Dost thou imagine thou canst slide on blood, And not be tainted with a shameful fall? |
14634 | A girl speaks thus within sight of the grave( p. 808):-- Yes, I shall die: what wilt thou gain? |
14634 | Ah, when will dawn that blissful day When I shall softly mount your stair, Your brothers meet me on the way, And one by one I greet them there? |
14634 | Ah, when will dawn that day of bliss When we before the priest say Yes? |
14634 | Am I your dog? |
14634 | And what can be more piteous than this prayer? |
14634 | And whence flows this pride? |
14634 | But how should the unfortunate Francesco be entrapped? |
14634 | Charles Lamb was certainly in error? |
14634 | Couldst thou not speak some seasonable word, Tell him what shame this idle love hath wrought? |
14634 | Do the noblemen of Rome Erect it for their wives, that I am sent To lodge there? |
14634 | Do you know me? |
14634 | Fair one, haste our king to greet: Who will fling him blossoms sweet Soonest on this first of May? |
14634 | For what past sorrow is he weary of his life? |
14634 | From those who feel the fire I feel, what use Is there in asking pardon? |
14634 | He looks sturdy, and may live to be of any age-- doomed always, is that possible, to beg? |
14634 | He who steals another''s heart, Let him give his own heart too: Who''s the robber? |
14634 | How can I sing light- souled and fancy- free, When my loved lord no longer smiles on me? |
14634 | How can I sing light- souled and fancy- free, When my loved lord no longer smiles on me? |
14634 | How can I sing light- souled and fancy- free, When my loved lord no longer smiles on me? |
14634 | How can I sing light- souled and fancy- free, When my loved lord no longer smiles on me? |
14634 | How have I made, dear Lord, dame Fortune wroth? |
14634 | How indeed could he make this city in a moment free, after sixty years of slow and systematic corruption? |
14634 | How shall I bear a pang so passing sore? |
14634 | How shall I make the fount of tears abound, To weep apace with grief''s unmeasured flow? |
14634 | How shall we reconstruct the long- past life which filled its rooms with sound, the splendour of its pageants, the thrill of tragedies enacted here? |
14634 | I have often asked myself, Who, then, was this nun? |
14634 | In his rage he cries: What fury raised_ thee_ up? |
14634 | In other words, what is the characteristic which, proceeding from the personality of the artist, is impressed on all his work? |
14634 | In the following picture of the house of Venus, who shall say how much of Ariosto''s Alcina and Tasso''s Armida is contained? |
14634 | Is a girl about to win A brave husband in her lover?-- Straight you set to talk him over:''Is he wealthy?'' |
14634 | Is all art excellent in itself and good in its effect that is beautiful and earnest? |
14634 | Is he out in it, and where? |
14634 | Love, what hast thou to command? |
14634 | Mark ye how sunk in woe The poor wretch forth doth pass, And may not answer, for his grief, one word? |
14634 | Methinks I am dropping in swoon or slumber: Am I drunken or sober, yes or no? |
14634 | Midas treads a wearier measure: All he touches turns to gold: If there be no taste of pleasure, What''s the use of wealth untold? |
14634 | No, you pander? |
14634 | Now, prithee, let me hear what made you stay So long upon the upland lawns away? |
14634 | O traitor hill, what shall it be? |
14634 | O traitor hill, what will you do? |
14634 | Or is it my brain that reels away? |
14634 | Or with thy beauty choose To make him blest who loves thee best of all? |
14634 | Or, like the black and melancholic yew- tree, Dost think to root thyself in dead men''s graves, And yet to prosper? |
14634 | Oredimus? |
14634 | Say, hast thou seen a calf of mine, all white Save for a spot of black upon her front, Two feet, one flank, and one knee ruddy- bright? |
14634 | Say, hast thou seen her now? |
14634 | See''st thou that all his senses are distraught? |
14634 | See, I have emptied my horn already: Stretch hither your beaker to me, I pray: Are the hills and the lawns where we roam unsteady? |
14634 | Shall we these years that are so fair let fly? |
14634 | Should he bring manuscripts or marbles, precious vases or inscriptions in half- legible Greek character? |
14634 | Since you beg with such a grace, How can I refuse a song, Wholesome, honest, void of wrong, On the follies of the place? |
14634 | Since you beg with such a grace, How can I refuse a song, Wholesome, honest, void of wrong, On the follies of the place? |
14634 | Tell me, dear love, which are the most, Your light steps or the sighs they cost? |
14634 | Tell me, dear love, which more abound, My sighs or your steps on the ground? |
14634 | The scholar''s scepticism, which lies at the root of his perversity, finds utterance in this meditation upon death: Whither shall I go now? |
14634 | Then answers Love: Hast thou no memory How I to lovers this great guerdon give, Free from all human bondage to endure? |
14634 | Thyrsis, what thinkest thou of thy loved lord? |
14634 | What anguish of remorse has driven him to such a solitude? |
14634 | What are these weights my feet encumber? |
14634 | What beauty manifest? |
14634 | What calm is in the kiss of noon? |
14634 | What found you by the way to do? |
14634 | What grace of heaven, what lucky star benign Yields me the sight of beauty so divine?'' |
14634 | What grace, what love, what fate surpassing fear Shall give me wings like dove''s wings soft as snow, That I may rest and raise me from the clay? |
14634 | What have I done, dear Lord, the world to cross? |
14634 | What have I done, dear Lord, to fret the folk? |
14634 | What history had she? |
14634 | What is''t distracts you? |
14634 | What joy hast thou to keep a captive hung? |
14634 | What joy hath rapt me from my own control? |
14634 | What light is this? |
14634 | What man is he who with his golden lyre Hath moved the gates that never move, While the dead folk repeat his dirge of love? |
14634 | What mattered it that the theme was slight? |
14634 | What melody? |
14634 | What of the calf? |
14634 | What place would there be for a Correggio or a Raphael in such a world as Webster''s? |
14634 | What sorrow- laden song shall e''er be found To match the burden of my matchless woe? |
14634 | What sweet makes me swoon? |
14634 | What terrible crime had consigned him to this living tomb? |
14634 | What was the cause of his death? |
14634 | What''s this flesh? |
14634 | What, me, my lord? |
14634 | What, then, is the Correggiosity of Correggio? |
14634 | When comes the day, my staff, my strength, To call your mother mine at length? |
14634 | When will the Italians learn to use these men as Fabius or as Cæsar, not as the Vitelli and the Trinci used them? |
14634 | When will the day come, love of mine, I shall be yours and you be mine? |
14634 | Whence came pure peace into my soul? |
14634 | Where am I? |
14634 | Where is the sun which shone so fair? |
14634 | Who brought me here? |
14634 | Who can rebuke me then if I am kind So far as honesty comports and Love? |
14634 | Who e''er will sing so sweetly, now she''s gone? |
14634 | Who hath laid laws on Love? |
14634 | Who knows, for instance, the veritable author of many of those mighty German chorals which sprang into being at the period of the Reformation? |
14634 | Who speaks? |
14634 | Who was the first to give it shape and form? |
14634 | Why did the Greeks consecrate these myrtle- rods to Death as well as Love? |
14634 | Why do we here desire the flower of some emergent feeling to grow from the air, or from the soil, or from humanity to greet us? |
14634 | Will pity not be given For one short look so full thereof? |
14634 | Wilt thou not put thy flower of youth to use? |
14634 | Would you be kicked? |
14634 | Would you have your neck broke? |
14634 | Yet both perhaps have scarcely interpreted their own spirit; for is not the true source of tears deeper and more secret? |
14634 | an lateri juncta puella meo?_ EURYDICE. |
14634 | through what long years Will she withhold her face from me, Which stills the stormy skies howe''er they rave? |
14634 | what is''t? |
14634 | what''s that? |
14634 | what''s that? |
14634 | wherefore did she cease and loose my hand? |
1174 | And how many dwelling- houses have you? 1174 Are the men of Piraeus,"they asked,"prepared to surrender Piraeus and Munychia in the same way? |
1174 | As long as their own bodies were safe and sound, why need they take to heart the loss of a few wooden hulls? 1174 Do you not see,"he urged,"that your success followed close on the heels of necessity? |
1174 | I ask then is the man who tenders such advice in the full light of day justly to be regarded as a traitor, and not as a benefactor? 1174 Men of Lacedaemon and of the allied states,"he said,"are you aware of a silent but portentous growth within the bosom of Hellas? |
1174 | Such being our unbiased wishes,he continued,"for what earthly reason should( the Hellenes or) the king go to war with us? |
1174 | Was he to continue his advance? |
1174 | Were these magistrates, or merely popular leaders? |
1174 | While, then, I am on my way thither,rejoined Agesilaus,"will you support my army with provisions?" |
1174 | Why yield obedience to these Thirty? |
1174 | ( 14) Or,"are you aware of a new power growing up in Hellas?" |
1174 | ( 14) What is the date of this incident? |
1174 | ( 5) Accordingly the ephors questioned their informant:"How say you the occurrence is to take place?" |
1174 | ( 5) Is it not self- evident that your safety altogether depends upon the sea? |
1174 | ( 7) Then, as the inquiry went on, the question came:"And where did they propose to find arms?" |
1174 | ( 8) In what part of Hellas, tell me, sir, do Hellenes keep a truce with traitors, double- dyed deserters, and tyrants? |
1174 | ( 8) Or,"what consistency is there between these precepts of yours and political independence?" |
1174 | 369? |
1174 | 400(?). |
1174 | 400- 399(?). |
1174 | 401(?). |
1174 | 416? |
1174 | Accordingly he sent to Pharnabazus and put it to him point- blank: Which will you have, peace or war? |
1174 | Again he replied-- How could he trust to their words when they had lied to him already? |
1174 | Agesilaus:"Have you observed how beautiful his son is?" |
1174 | And as to men, which will be the better able to man vessels, think you-- Athens, or ourselves with our stalwart and numerous Penestae? |
1174 | And as to their confident spirit, who shall attempt to describe it? |
1174 | And being asked,"What act( would satisfy him)?" |
1174 | And what shall we say of the Corinthians? |
1174 | And when the latter demurred to that solution, asking"What sort of trial that would be where the offenders were also the judges?" |
1174 | But after dinner, when Cyrus drank to his health, asking him"What he could do to gratify him most?" |
1174 | But tell me, Cinadon,''I said to him,''why have you bidden me count them?'' |
1174 | But the Eleians? |
1174 | But they seemed to tarry a long time, and Agesilaus asked:"What say you, King Otys-- shall we summon him hither ourselves? |
1174 | But what of the man who pleases neither? |
1174 | Can it be our duty at all to spare him? |
1174 | Did you not say just now, Sir, that you came to make an alliance on terms of absolute equality,''share and share alike''? |
1174 | Do you imagine that you may be robbed of the power of life and death over whom you please, should you condescend to a legal trial? |
1174 | Do you know the poem?" |
1174 | Do you not agree? |
1174 | Do you not think that the ephors themselves, and the whole commonwealth besides, would hold this renegade worthy of condign punishment? |
1174 | For what does the alternative mean? |
1174 | For what were their services to you? |
1174 | Had he not been defeated in Lacedaemon, with a large body of heavy infantry, by a handful of men? |
1174 | Had we been forced to meet them vanguard to vanguard, on an equal footing, who could have been surprised? |
1174 | Have I not avenged you of your enemy?" |
1174 | He said,"Men of Athens, do you not see how you are being deluded? |
1174 | He sat down, and then Procles of Phlius got up and spoke as follows:"What would happen, men of Athens, if the Lacedaemonians were well out of the way? |
1174 | How many friends have they left to them to- day? |
1174 | How shall I, who dealt justice upon him, justly suffer death at your hands? |
1174 | How shall you longer be held blameless before that fatherland which honours you and in which you fare so well?'' |
1174 | If danger were ever again to visit Hellas from the barbarian world outside, in whom would you place your confidence if not in the Lacedaemonians? |
1174 | If so, what fairer test of courage will you propose than the arbitrament of war-- the war just ended? |
1174 | If, then, you have no monopoly of justice, can it be on the score of courage that you are warranted to hold your heads so high? |
1174 | In danger, do I say, of losing their lives? |
1174 | Is it not plain that these preparations are for an expedition which will do us some mischief?" |
1174 | Is it not then reasonable that out of agreement should spring concord rather than discord? |
1174 | Is it that you are more just than ourselves? |
1174 | Is it their wide empire of which you are afraid? |
1174 | It is this: Satyrus, bade him"Be silent, or he would rue the day;"to which he made answer,"And if I be silent, shall I not rue it?" |
1174 | Jason, if all you say be true, why do you hesitate? |
1174 | Leotychides:"How so, seeing that I am not dead?" |
1174 | Nor was Thebes an exception; for was not the governor a brother of Agesilaus? |
1174 | Of Pellene( or Pellana) in Laconia, not Pellene in Achaia? |
1174 | Or is it conceivable that he prefers spending money in making others great to finding his favourite projects realised without expense? |
1174 | Or is it on these Laconian friends of yours that you pride yourselves? |
1174 | Or,"upon the strand or coast road or coast land of Achaia"( aliter{ ten aigialon}(?) |
1174 | Otys asked:"Is Spithridates of one mind with you in this proposal?" |
1174 | Otys:"Why not ask if your project pleases Spithridates too?" |
1174 | Ought we not rather, when we know the doublings of his nature, to guard against them, lest we enable him presently to practise on ourselves? |
1174 | Pharnabazus replied:"Shall I tell you plainly what I will do?" |
1174 | Presently the question rose, How they were to get money to pay their guards? |
1174 | Suppose, then, we were to shake hands, from what quarter can we reasonably anticipate danger and trouble? |
1174 | That which I have pictured as desirable, or that which my colleagues yonder are producing? |
1174 | The Thebans, it was certain, would soon be with them; for had they not borrowed ten talents( 20) from Elis in order to be able to send aid? |
1174 | The ephors asked:"How many do you reckon are in the secret of this matter?" |
1174 | The two armies were now close together, when one of the older men lifted up his voice and cried:"Why need we fight, sirs? |
1174 | Then Meidias asked,"And where am I to live, Dercylidas?" |
1174 | Then, again, what was the proper depth of line to be given to the different army corps? |
1174 | Trubner, 1884)? |
1174 | Was Gytheum taken? |
1174 | Was ever bride led home by such an escort of cavalry and light- armed troops and heavy infantry, as shall escort your wife home to your palace?" |
1174 | Was it not the people itself, the democracy, who voted the constitution of the Four Hundred? |
1174 | Was it not, pray, the great king who demanded that all the states in Hellas should be independent? |
1174 | Was not my door open in old days to every comer? |
1174 | Was there not timber enough and to spare in the king''s territory?" |
1174 | Was this portion of the"Hellenica"written before the expedition of Cyrus? |
1174 | Well, then, freedom given and wealth added-- what more would you desire to fill the cup of happiness to overflowing?" |
1174 | Well, then, how does the matter stand? |
1174 | Were ever nuptials celebrated on so grand a scale before? |
1174 | What are you afraid of, that you press forward with such hot haste? |
1174 | What in heaven''s name are we to call him? |
1174 | What then, when he came furnished with vile moneys, to corrupt you therewith, to bribe you to make him once more lord and master of the state? |
1174 | What, I ask you, of a man who so openly studied the art of self- seeking, deaf alike to the pleas of honour and to the claims of friendship? |
1174 | When he had reached that city the first move was made by Tissaphernes, who sent asking,"With what purpose he was come thither?" |
1174 | When the inventory of the paternal property was completed, he proceeded:"Tell me, Meidias, to whom did Mania belong?" |
1174 | When they were seated Dercylidas put certain questions:"Tell me, Meidias, did your father leave you heir to his estates?" |
1174 | Who else but they have now brought it about that we should be fined for appearing at Lacedaemon? |
1174 | Why not rather make truce and part friends?" |
1174 | Will some one of you escort me to the place where the property of Mania and Pharnabazus lies?" |
1174 | With which condition of affairs here in Athens do you think will Thrasybulus and Anytus and the other exiles be the better pleased? |
1174 | Would not leniency towards such a creature be misplaced? |
1174 | and for what purpose but to deter any one else for the future from venturing to expose the proceedings at Phlius?" |
1174 | and what have we Athenians, who are in full agreement with the king, both in word and deed, to fear from him? |
1174 | how much pasturage?" |
1174 | how, again, was he to prevent Pharnabazus from overriding the Hellenic states in pure contempt with his cavalry? |
1174 | or is it not more likely a Persian or native word, Karanos? |
1174 | or is{ koiranos} the connecting link? |
1174 | or why should he expend his money? |
1174 | or why, when we tell them that we have no need of them at present, do they insist on preparing for a foreign campaign? |
1174 | the Achaeans? |
1174 | the Arcadians? |
1174 | they asked,"Why assign to them the privilege of destroying the State?" |
1174 | what evil have we wrought you at any time? |
1174 | what is it really that has brought us here? |
1174 | what landed estates? |
1174 | why do you not march at once against Pharsalia?" |
1174 | why would you slay us? |
1174 | you-- Critias? |
1174 | { karenon})= chief? |
6841 | But grant the host, with wealth our chieftain load; Except detraction, what hast thou bestowed? 6841 Do you hear, Æschines, in this very inscription, that''the gods never lack success, nor strive in vain?'' |
6841 | How could they dream-- or how believe when taught-- The sun a red- hot iron ball, in bulk Not less than Peloponnesus? 6841 If you thus praise it from my reading it,"exclaimed Æschines,"what would you have said if you had heard Demosthenes himself deliver it?" |
6841 | In these do we find the name of the general? 6841 Is the name of Pyrrhus to blanch your cheeks? |
6841 | The secret, hath it been told you? 6841 There the breach lies for passage, the ladder to scale; And your hands on your sabres, and how should ye fail? |
6841 | What though his feet have scathless stood In the rush of the Punic foam? 6841 When, O my countrymen I will you exert your vigor? |
6841 | Where has either Greek or modern literature,says MAHAFFY,"produced a nobler ideal than the Alcestis of Euripides? |
6841 | Who now protects her wives with guardian care? 6841 Why should I haste?" |
6841 | ''Is Philip dead? |
6841 | All the world over, I wonder, in lands that I never have trod, Are the people eternally seeking for the signs and steps of a God? |
6841 | And are Ulysses''arts no better known? |
6841 | And has Our arrowy tempest spent its force in vain? |
6841 | And has it come to this? |
6841 | And that stretched on yon billows distained by their gore Missolonghi''s assassins have gasped? |
6841 | And think''st thou not how wretched we shall be, A widow I, a helpless orphan he? |
6841 | Are ye not sons of the deathless Greeks Who fired the gates of Troy? |
6841 | Ask''st thou from Art but what the Art is worth? |
6841 | At what more glorious can the wealthy aim Than thus to purchase fair and lasting fame? |
6841 | But how returned he? |
6841 | But it may be asked, what became of Helen, the primary cause of the Trojan war, disastrous alike to victors and vanquished? |
6841 | But when shall earth again exult to see Visions divine like theirs renewed in aught like thee? |
6841 | But who shall estimate her influence on private happiness? |
6841 | By their right arms the conquest must be wrought? |
6841 | Can anything be more new than that a man of Maçedon should conquer the Athenians and give law to Greece? |
6841 | Could those spoils be thine? |
6841 | Did he not petition for such an honor? |
6841 | Do I wake, and live, Were there such things? |
6841 | Does a Providence rule in the fate of a word? |
6841 | Does he think with idle speeches to delude and cheat us all, As he does the doting elders that attend his daily call? |
6841 | Doth Macistus sleep On his tower- clad steep? |
6841 | Earth- born, bloodless; undecaying, Ever singing, sporting, playing, What has Nature else to show Godlike in its kind as thou? |
6841 | For the guerdon ye sought with your bloodshed and toil, Was it slaves, or dominion, or rapine, or spoil? |
6841 | For why? |
6841 | Had I not slain Apollo? |
6841 | Hath even a Whisper come Of the secret-- whence and whither? |
6841 | He counted them at break of day-- And when the sun set, where were they? |
6841 | Hear''st thou the rattling of spears on the right? |
6841 | Heard ye their sound, and the thunder around, as it thrilled through the petrified air? |
6841 | Hovering o''er Athens, blazed in airy panoply? |
6841 | How are you concerned in these rumors? |
6841 | How believe The moon no silver goddess girt for chase, But earth and stones, with caverns, hills, and vales? |
6841 | How long Will he live thus? |
6841 | How? |
6841 | I ask the Earth, have not the mountains felt? |
6841 | I ask yon Heaven, the all- beholding Sun, Has it not seen? |
6841 | I pity the dumb victim at the altar; But does the robed priest for his pity falter? |
6841 | If the epic poets ignore the importance of the masses on the battlefield, is it not likely that they underrate it in the public assemblies? |
6841 | Is Athens or America the theme of these immortal strains? |
6841 | Is Hellas then unscathed? |
6841 | Is his heart still? |
6841 | Is life, then, a dream and delusion? |
6841 | Is the world seen like shadows on water? |
6841 | Is there not here conceit of knowledge which is a disgraceful sort of ignorance? |
6841 | Is there one spark that cheered my hearth, one left For thee, my last of love?" |
6841 | It may now be asked, perhaps, whether the expression of our own sympathy, and that of the country, may do them good? |
6841 | Looks he not with high hope beaming? |
6841 | Menelaus turns aside to say,"Can she think of home? |
6841 | Miltiades, who conquered the barbarians at Marathon, or this man? |
6841 | Need we wonder, then, if the authority of the founders of the Grecian colonies, even where it had originally existed, soon gave way to liberty?" |
6841 | Oh, where were then thy sons, the great, the free, Whose deeds are guiding stars from age to age? |
6841 | Or, say, is it your sole ambition to wander through the public places, each inquiring of the other,''What new advices?'' |
6841 | Our women-- oh say, shall they shriek in despair, Or embrace us from conquest, with wreaths in their hair? |
6841 | Poor rabble, who have yet Outgrown so little the green grasshoppers From whom they boast descent, are they to blame? |
6841 | SCHILLER gives expression to the poet''s lament in the following lines: Art thou, fair world, no more? |
6841 | Says an English poet, Who knows not Solon, last, and wisest far, Of those whom Greece, triumphant in the height Of glory, styled her father? |

6841 | Seems he not a god? |

6841 | Shall he burn, and kill, and destroy? |

6841 | The chiefs who led back the people from Phy''le; Aristides, surnamed the Just, or Demosthenes? |
6841 | The fruit? |
6841 | The good man, surprised at the adventure, asked him''Whether Aristides had ever injured him?'' |

6841 | Wilt thou never come, O Death? |
6841 | [ Footnote: It was a kindred spirit that led our own great statesman, Webster, in quoting from this oration, to ask:"Is it Athens or America? |
6841 | ah, whither dost thou run? |
6841 | and what do the wisest know? |
6841 | and what if the mirror break? |

6841 | she said-- and her woman''s face Flushed out both pride and shame--"I ask, by the memory of your race, Are ye worthy of the name? |
6841 | speak honestly, And thus escape my vengeance-- was it force That bore thee off?" |
6841 | to how many the studies which took their rise from her have been wealth in poverty, liberty in bondage, health in sickness, society in solitude? |
6841 | what fate hast thou decreed for me? |
6841 | what fury reigns? |
6841 | what though no succor advances, Nor Christendom''s chivalrous lances Are stretched in our aid? |
6841 | when will ye take heart, And fear the reproach of your neighbors at hand? |
6841 | who is''t cries"a blow?" |
6841 | you''re forced to call for help? |
1170 | A peltast, then? |
1170 | And the neighbouring country? |
1170 | And yet, if we yield ourselves and fall into the king''s power, need we ask what our fate will be? 1170 But consider one point,"urged Xenophon;"if we are to march by night, is not the Hellenic fashion best? |
1170 | But how,it was asked,"will they manage to wrestle on the hard scrubby ground?" |
1170 | But let me ask you, in what condition do you turn your backs on this 31 land to- day? 1170 But what right have I to be drawing conclusions about stealing in your presence, Cheirisophus? |
1170 | But when they have expended their ammunition,said Xenophon,"there is nothing else, is there, to hinder our passing? |
1170 | Dost thou not mark how my son has sneezed a blessing on all my words? |
1170 | Good,said Xenophon,"but to what use do you propose to put us, if we become your allies? |
1170 | How then are we to get them collected? |
1170 | Nay,retorted Xenophon,"by the same token we shall all one day be dead, but that is no reason why meantime we should all be buried alive?" |
1170 | Some one may say, are you not ashamed to be so taken in like a fool? 1170 Then what injury have you received from me,"Cyrus asked,"that now for the third time, you have been detected in a treasonous plot against me?" |
1170 | Then, once more having discovered the limits of your power, did you flee to the altar of Artemis, crying out that you repented? 1170 Well then,"said Xenophon,"supposing we came, what should you be able to give us? |
1170 | Well then,said they,"he will oppose our taking away the troops, will he not?" |
1170 | Well,said he,"was he any the less dead when I reported him to you?" |
1170 | What was the country? |
1170 | What, must we anticipate, will now be our fate? 1170 Why had he not invited Xenophon with the others?" |
1170 | Why, when we had it in our power to destroy you, did we not proceed to do it? 1170 ( 1) Can this be the same man whose escape is so graphically described above? 1170 --How say you the same views?" |
1170 | 5 Then at last he recognised him, and inquired:"Are you the fellow who carried home the sick man?" |
1170 | After that they asked,"Were there any captains of light infantry willing to accompany the expedition?" |
1170 | After that,"and at this point Cyrus turned to Orontas, and addressed him personally--"after that, did I do you any wrong?" |
1170 | And Clearchus answered:"So, then, that is your 20 deliberate view? |
1170 | And again,"For whom are the horses being bred?" |
1170 | And how do you propose to stimulate their sense of awe, and keep them in good behaviour towards you? |
1170 | And now, since we have reached Hellenic cities, how has it fared with us? |
1170 | And what had we? |
1170 | And what will you in turn be able to do to assist our passage?" |
1170 | And you, who know all this, how can you say that it is mere nonsense to talk of self- defence? |
1170 | Are not all things in all ways subject to the gods? |
1170 | Are these things so?" |
1170 | Are you minded to stop and keep truce, or is there to be war? |
1170 | As soon as he was fully awake, the first clear thought which came into his head was, Why am I lying here? |
1170 | As to the generals, their immediate concern was to try and gain some information as to Seuthes:"Was he hostile or friendly? |
1170 | At this point he again questioned Medosades,"Whether the words attributed to him were exact?" |
1170 | But how so? |
1170 | But if he who partly gave you this security has failed to pay in full the wages due to you therefrom, is not that a terrible misfortune? |
1170 | But now, what do you think of their case, these men of Cerasus? |
1170 | But what is your behaviour? |
1170 | But you will tell me, perhaps, that I get from Seuthes what is by right yours, and that I deal subtly by you? |
1170 | But, granted that the rivers do bar our passage, and that guides are not forthcoming, what care we? |
1170 | Cheirisophus answered:"But why should you go and leave your command in the rear? |
1170 | Cheirisophus answered:"Look up there,"pointing as he spoke to the mountain,"do you see how inaccessible it all is? |
1170 | Clearchus listened to the reasoning, and then he asked the messenger,"How large the country between the Tigris and the canal might be?" |
1170 | Clearly, the attacking party must either conquer or be worsted: if they conquer, what need of their breaking down the bridge? |
1170 | Consider, then; is it better to go and meet the foe with arms advanced, or with arms reversed to watch him as he assails us on our rear? |
1170 | Could any one make you believe that the sun rises here and sets there, or that he sets here and rises there? |
1170 | Did Cheirisophus conceivably die of fever brought on by some poisonous draught? |
1170 | Did I ask you for something and, on your refusing it to me, did I proceed to beat you? |
1170 | Did any one ever die in battle from the bite or kick of a horse? |
1170 | Do I hinder any of them from speaking any word of import in his power? |
1170 | Do not the cities which gave us birth yield them obedience also? |
1170 | Do you not see all these great plains, which you find it hard enough to traverse even when they are friendly? |
1170 | Does not the surgeon also cauterise and cut us for our good? |
1170 | Eucleides congratulated Xenophon upon his safe return, and asked him how much gold he had got? |
1170 | For if I am not much mistaken, the enemy were close at our heels?" |
1170 | For what of the man who can not be trusted? |
1170 | Galloping up to the front himself, he asked:"Why do you summon me?" |
1170 | Have you not wintered here in the lap of plenty? |
1170 | Hearing this, Xenophon dismounted, and the other asked:"Why do you dismount just when speed is the thing we want?" |
1170 | How are we to march most safely? |
1170 | However, why do you address yourself to me? |
1170 | I ask then, with all these banded together against us, is there any one so insensate as to imagine that we can survive the contest? |
1170 | I ask you, does it seem to you that we lack the means, if we had the will, to destroy you? |
1170 | I now call upon you, and you first, Clearchus, to declare your opinion-- what think you?" |
1170 | If as our master, why need he ask for them rather than come and take them? |
1170 | If we can trust any guide whom Cyrus may vouchsafe to us, why not order Cyrus at once to occupy the pass on our behoof? |
1170 | In this way he contrived to turn back and consult the victims,"Would the gods allow him to try and bring the army over to Seuthes?" |
1170 | In your choice of leaders do I stand in the way of any one, is that it? |
1170 | It is a little dangerous for myself, is it not? |
1170 | Nay, if in a fit of madness we murdered you, what then? |
1170 | Now is that a point in which a man might hope to cheat you? |
1170 | Now, sirs, is it not clear that all these good things belong to whoever has strength to hold them? |
1170 | Or again, which will be the greater drain on your purse? |
1170 | Or do you impute the fault to some one not here? |
1170 | Other people with Cyrus won great success, they were told( 1); why should it not be so with them? |
1170 | Presently the Lacedaemonians asked:"What sort of man is Xenophon?" |
1170 | Seuthes put the question,"Would you like to die on his behalf, Episthenes?" |
1170 | Seuthes, turning to the boy, asked,"Shall I smite him instead of you?" |
1170 | Should we not ourselves bestow the worst of names on the perpetrators of like deeds?" |
1170 | The other again asked:"Peace or war, what answer shall I make?" |
1170 | The others asked,"Were they willing to give them pledges to that effect?" |
1170 | The soldiers held a meeting, and took counsel about the remainder of the journey: should they make their exit from the Pontus by sea or by land? |
1170 | The soldiers, on their side, laid the blame of course on Xenophon:"Where was their pay?" |
1170 | The two were brought up at once and questioned separately:"Did they know of any other road than the one visible?" |
1170 | Then the Arcadians inquired of Xenophon''s officers-- why they had quenched the watch- fires? |
1170 | There is no passing, 39 until we have dislodged these fellows; why have you not brought up the light infantry?" |
1170 | Thereupon they consulted together, and to Xenophon''s inquiry,"What it was which hindered their simply walking in?" |
1170 | They asked:"Does he play the popular leader?" |
1170 | Was I not actually on my road home when I turned back? |
1170 | Was I the worse for liquor, and behaving like a drunkard?" |
1170 | Was he really leading them to attack the king? |
1170 | Was it a debt, for which I demanded payment? |
1170 | Was it not rather, that they had noticed my abundant zeal on your behalf? |
1170 | Was it, do you suppose, because they detected some ill- will in me towards you that they made the allegation? |
1170 | What answer shall I take from you?" |
1170 | What follows? |
1170 | What friendly city will receive us when they see rampant lawlessness in our midst? |
1170 | What is it? |
1170 | What then did common sense suggest? |
1170 | What wrong did I commit in bringing you, whither you were eager to go? |
1170 | When Polynicus and I asked Seuthes, what sort of a man he was? |
1170 | When asked,"What shall you need?" |
1170 | When the man met each of these questions with a negative, he questioned him further:"Are you a heavy infantry soldier?" |
1170 | When, lithe of limb, she danced the Pyrrhic( 4), loud clapping followed; and the Paphlagonians asked,"If these women fought by their side in battle?" |
1170 | Where are the men posted to intercept us? |
1170 | Who indeed would care to carry a flag of truce, or go as a herald with 30 the blood of heralds upon his hands? |
1170 | Who was there now to furnish them with a market? |
1170 | Who will have the courage to afford us a market, when we prove our worthlessness in these weightiest concerns? |
1170 | Why should it be guarded since it was friendly? |
1170 | Why? |
1170 | Will you take us for your allies? |
1170 | Will you then please inform us as to that point also? |
1170 | Would you, Xenophon, repeat what you said to us?" |
1170 | Xenophon inquired:"And how far from the sea shall you expect the army to follow you?" |
1170 | Xenophon laughed and said:"But supposing these all together do not amount to the pay; for whom is the talent, shall I say? |
1170 | You ask what it is I would have you to do? |
1170 | You heard the threats?" |
1170 | a general to undertake the work? |
1170 | also, would they have to march through the Sacred mountain( 1), or round about through the middle of Thrace?" |
1170 | am I waiting till I am older mysef and of riper age? |
1170 | and all yonder great mountain chains left for you to cross, which we can at any time occupy in advance and render impassable? |
1170 | and did you thus work upon my feelings, that we a second time shook hands and made interchange of solemn pledges? |
1170 | and from what city? |
1170 | and what becomes of the praise we expect to win from the mouths of men? |
1170 | have we not horsemen enough, or infantry, or whatever other arm you like, whereby we may be able to injure you, without risk of suffering in return? |
1170 | how can you bid us go again and try the arts of persuasion? |
1170 | in slaying our benefactor should we not have challenged to enter the lists against us a more formidable antagonist in the king himself? |
1170 | is not their lordship over all alike outspread? |
1170 | of striking a blow in your behalf and his own, if that is his choice? |
1170 | or a quarrel about some boy or other? |
1170 | or did he die under treatment? |
1170 | or did he take poison whilst suffering from fever? |
1170 | or how shall we, who lay the knife to each other''s throats, give battle to our enemies? |
1170 | or where blows are needed, how are we to fight to the best advantage? |
1170 | or, finally, of keeping his eyes and ears open to secure your safety? |
1170 | or, possibly, do we seem to you 17 to lack the physical surroundings suitable for attacking you? |
1170 | the question arises, Was he equally good as a commander? |
1170 | the soldiers, the officers, and the generals? |
1170 | to pay off your present debt, or, with that still owing, to bid for more troops, and of a better quality? |
1170 | what am I waiting for? |
1170 | what did I say,"he asked,"at your next visit, when 28 you came to me in Selybria?" |
1170 | what is happening at this instant? |
1170 | while others hearing from us a hundred stories in your praise, hasten to present themselves at your desire? |
1170 | who will vouchsafe it to us, if this is our behaviour? |
1170 | why have I managed my affairs no better? |
