49831_ Who has not journeyed through a country with his favorite author long before he makes the actual trip himself? 49831 After all, what did he know about us except that, vagrant- like, we were wandering in the mountains at a most unseasonable hour? 49831 And I, had I any? 49831 And how far did we expect to go to- day? 49831 And that map of Tuscany we said we would give him, would we not remember it? 49831 And where had I bought my dress? 49831 But could he show us some fine frescos or sell us antiquities? 49831 But we wanted to see his house? 49831 But who ever knew the hour when the people of an Italian town were not up and abroad? 49831 But would we not now stay at her villa all night, instead of in Cortona? 49831 Could we tell him? 49831 Did not all his playmates see him ride by in his pride? 49831 Did we not know there were waterfalls, and famous ones too, but three miles distant? 49831 Had we ever tasted the famous Montepulciano,king of all wine"?
49831Had we, by mischance, wandered into a Valley of the Shadow of Death?
49831Hath it not hindered many in their pilgrimage?_"We left Siena the morning after the marionette exhibition.
49831He himself was a professional letter- writer, and if the_ Signore_ had any letters he wished written--?
49831How could he?
49831How much more of this was there, we asked a woman watching swine on the hillside?
49831In despair I broke in in French:"But, my father, can not we stay this one night?"
49831Is it any wonder that we both lost our tempers, and that an accident was the smallest evil we wished the manufacturers of our tricycle?
49831No, he answered; but would we like to look in the wine- press opposite?
49831No?
49831None but spirits could have sung there; and what spirits would dare to lift their voices in this famous street but those of Baglioni?
49831Oh, is''t not strange that what they did so well In the Pen way meets in the Name Pen- nell?
49831Perhaps_ monsieur_ speaks French?
49831Should we stay long in Italy?
49831The ticket- seller even came in, and in soft pleading tones said that we might have any places we wanted; why then should we choose the worst?
49831Then one opened his mouth very wide and pointed to his teeth:"The little sir,"he asked,"is he a dentist?"
49831To our"_ Perchè?_"he said it was the law.
49831Was it not all America?
49831Was it of value?
49831Was there a rule like this at Monte Oliveto, and was six the hour when its bolts and bars were fastened against the stranger?
49831Was this right?
49831We could not take the time to visit them?
49831We must not mix water with it; it was Christian, why then should it be baptized?
49831Were they to dine with us?
49831What was one against so many?
49831What would the_ Speedvell Cloob_ have thought?
49831Where was the_ trattoria_?
49831Why can not it be believed, for the legend''s sake, that the olives were planted afterwards because of the name?
49831Would not the_ Signora_ have a handkerchief?
49831Would we not go and dine and then come back?
49831Would we write him postal cards to tell him of the distance and time we made?
49831Yes, he assented, what was it I wanted?
49831You know it?
49831_ Chi lo sa?_--"Who knows?"
49831and sometime we would come back to Empoli?
49831and who, when he comes to see with his own eyes that at which he has hitherto looked through some one else''s, does not find himself his best guide?
49831as much perhaps as a hundred francs?
49831he exclaimed, of what use were they?
49831what is this which Ime to sett before ye?
46092''Or fù giammai Gente si vana com''è la sanese?
46092''What_ is_ the Palio?''
46092''When you say,"What is the Palio?"
46092And were not the flowers, those gay brave pennons of spring and summer, the quintessence of this Roman dust?
46092And who of us but has wept over the Great Betrayal, and the passing of the beautiful Grifonetto, forgiven at the last by Atalanta?
46092Can it be that I have dreamt of you, seeing some picture of a mediaeval city in a psalter?
46092Can you wonder then that our Goddess, Imperial and lovely Rome, seemed to have stepped down among ordinary mortals?
46092Did Ceres weep at Enna?
46092Did he too love the memory of Francis?
46092Did the rosy feet of Aphrodite ever press the sands of Paphos?
46092Do you not think that the great Mother of Pity loves this rough sculpture best?
46092Does any city frown so fiercely on the traveller as Orvieto?
46092Hath it not been told you from the beginning?
46092Have ye not heard?
46092Have ye not known?
46092Have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
46092If there was dust, was it not dust of the dead?
46092Is it not irony that all the rest should bear the names of saints, for Perugia, a city of turbulent desires, has ever bred more warriors than saints?
46092Is it that they all bear the image of St. Peter''s and the Vatican in their minds?
46092Is it the blood of Adonis which makes the stream of Carmel red?
46092Is not all the dust in the world dust of the dead?
46092Many times we had been greeted with the words,''_E Roma?
46092Or the capers and the flowering rosemary, which made a garden of the ancient walls of Trevi?
46092Or the subtle beauty of the Tiber, as it washed the skirts of Perugia''s hill?
46092Or was it beyond his understanding that a man should dream of giving up all the world to follow a vision of eternal life?
46092Or, if this does not stir you, would you rather learn romance from the nomenclature of her ancient gates?
46092That we have conned it in a hundred other frescoes?
46092Think of her name-- Perusia Augusta the Romans called her; was there ever a more lovely name, or one which History enriched with more poetic legends?
46092Was it I who dreamt the rest?
46092Was it a bird, or did I see a scrap of paper flutter from the window of that dark tower?
46092Was it by chance, or to spite the other by diminishing his glory, that the Oca swaggered up at the same moment as his ancient enemy the Torre?
46092We had lately come from there?
46092Were they not Emperors too?
46092What does it matter that the story has been often told?
46092What little town in Italy has not?
46092What of the night?
46092Where had they gone?
46092Who could forget the classic grace of Clitumnus, when he saw the clustered poplars soaring from the plain?
46092Who could have dreamt that I should find her here, on this bleak hillside, in this austere old house?
46092Who could he be?
46092Who could resist her, this happy butterfly fashioned so beautifully for love on a golden summer day?
46092Why not have left that sunken figure resting on such hard stones as it chose for comfort in life?
40394A Corinthian capital is a beautiful form; but why should the hand of man be kept back from devising other beautiful forms?
40394Again, would Venetian taste have allowed such clumsy substitutes for columns as these?
40394And now the question comes, Is the island of Korkyra the Scheriê of Homer?
40394And, if in some things it is less purely Greek than the rest of that kingdom, what is the cause?
40394And, if they had been meant as badges of dominion, would they not have stood in the forum rather than in the court of the Patriarch''s palace?
40394Are they Saracens whose forms record the memories of some returning Crusader?
40394Are we to seek here for the justification of the frontier which struck us as artificial and needless?
40394As he first saw the mighty bell- tower, he asks,"What were our thoughts?
40394But are we to take the"royal faith"in the same sense as the"royal law"of the New Testament?
40394But can we look for such badges at Aquileia?
40394But how far is that admiration the result of mere wonder at something which in any case is strange and striking?
40394But how far ought he to proclaim to the world the merits of the place which he has found out for himself?
40394But how shall the traveller find his way to Aquileia?
40394But may we confess to the weakness of looking at all these things only from the deck of the steamer?
40394But where was the Hêraion, the temple of Hêrê, which plays a part in more than one of the Thucydidean narratives?
40394But who burned the village, and why?
40394Did those whose names were written-- for of course few, if any, would write them themselves-- come to the book, or did the book go to them?
40394Does he blame the capitals, which certainly do not follow the exact pattern of any Vitruvian order?
40394Does he blame the massive abaci?
40394Does not this show a lurking sign of what was coming, a lurking feeling that the arch itself was the true architrave?
40394Does some pedantic Vitruvian brand the columns as too short?
40394Final conquest of Dalmatia 6 Martyrdom of Saint Caius 296?
40394How can he draw the line, so as to lead travellers to come, without holding out the least inducement to mere tourists?
40394How does a mass of white limestone come to be called the Black Mountain?
40394If we were to have Alexander and Arthur, why not the rest of the nine worthies?
40394In other words, which represents the præ- Roman city, and which represents its enlargement in Roman times?
40394Is the mound natural or artificial?
40394Is this he whose name has been rightly or wrongly added to certain annals of Bari?
40394Let us answer boldly, Why should art be put in fetters?
40394Now, which was the elder part of the two?
40394On whom rests the blame?
40394Or are we to believe that the Morlacchi used the turban as their head- dress before the Ottoman came?
40394Otranto was the last of the conquests of the great Conqueror; what if he had been longer- lived?
40394Salona, he will answer, is in Dalmatia, and how can there be more than one way of sounding the_ omega_ in the second syllable?
40394Shall we say_ Görz_,_ Gorizia_, or_ Gorici_?
40394Was it a Christian village burned by Turks?
40394Was it a Christian village burned by its own inhabitants rather than leave anything to fall into the hands of the Turks?
40394Was it a Christian village burned by the insurgents because its inhabitants refused to join in the insurrection?
40394Was it a Turkish village burned by Christians?
40394Was it a commonwealth by itself, cradled on the channel of Brazza like Gersau on the Lake of the Four Cantons?
40394Was the present citadel, the true[ Greek: Koryphô], itself always an island, as it is now?
40394Was the winged lion ever set up, and then taken down again?
40394We are again driven to ask, Which is the dialect of the Romans?
40394What are we to say to the modern rival of Venice, the upstart rebel, one is tempted to say, against the supremacy of the Hadriatic Queen?
40394What but of poor Mark Antony de Dominis?"
40394What if his work in some sort failed?
40394What name shall we give to the style of this most remarkable building, at all events to the style of its admirable arcade?
40394What tongue is meant by[ Greek: Rhômaisti]?
40394What word either of Greek or of Latin can the Emperor have got hold of?
40394Who was this Jovianus?
40394Would the devotion of the Most Serene Republic have allowed its patron anywhere so lowly a place as this to occupy?
40394Would the threat of the first Sultan have been carried out, and would the Turk have fed his horse on the high altar of Saint Peter''s?
40394and where was the island opposite to the Hêraion--[Greek: pros to Hêraion]--and the isle of Ptychia, both of which appear in his history?
40394how far is it a really intelligent approval of beauty or artistic skill?
40394or does it mean the"royal faith,"as being set up under some orthodox Emperor, when the orthodoxy of Emperors was still a new thing?
40394that to the east or that to the west?
40394what if the second Bajazet had deserved the name of Thunderbolt like the first?
16705The Kurd asked the barber:''Is my hair white or black?'' 16705 According to Vasari, Giorgione, like his master Bellini, painted the Doge Leonardo Loredan, but the picture, where is it? 16705 Aladdin''s lamp set it there: another rub and why should it not vanish? 16705 And where are others mentioned by Vasari and Ridolfi? 16705 And why not, since the religion both of the Pope and of General Booth was pre- eminently designed for the poor? 16705 And would Titian and Paul Veronese and Tintoretto have done all this for a Mayor and Corporation? 16705 But why do I put myself to the trouble of writing this when it has all been done for me by an earlier hand? 16705 Can there be discoveries of Giorgiones still to be made? 16705 Could he refuse? 16705 Do you suppose, however, that Signor Lionello Venturi will allow Giorgione to have painted a stroke to them? 16705 Does not Venetian history, with its triumphs and pageantry of world- power, prove it? 16705 Her princess''s crown is at the foot of the bed, or is it perchance her crown of glory? 16705 Here are a few:--What can the rose do in the sea, and the violet before the fire?"
16705How much he ought to give?
16705If one may be so near Titian''s autograph and the illuminated_ Divine Comedy_, why not this treasure too?
16705Is it because they know how secondary a place woman holds in this city of well- nourished, self- satisfied men?
16705Is it that they know that a girl''s life is so brief: one day as supple and active as they are now and the next a crone?
16705Not bad surroundings for a saint, are they?
16705Now what more can honeymooners ask?
16705Of S. Mark''s what is one to say?
16705Should it have all these hues?
16705The Sistine Chapel in Rome is wonderful enough, with its frescoes; but what is the labour on a fresco compared with that on a mosaic?
16705The gondolier even now is not always a model of courtesy and content; what will he be when the poison of machinery is in him?
16705They do not appear to be scriptural; yet why should they be when the Labours of Hercules are illustrated in sculpture on the façade above them?
16705They gave her, however( this, though from the lives of the saints, is sheer fairy tale, is n''t it?)
16705What the spectators and church officials would think if he refused?
16705Where many books could not exhaust the theme, what chance has only one?
16705Whether it was quite the thing to bring the box so often and at such a season?
16705Whether shaking it so noisily was not peculiarly tactless?
16705Why did these?
16705Why is this?
16705Why lose one''s temper?
16705Why not?
16705Why should not the sacred remains be stolen from the Egyptian city and brought to Venice?
16705With what feelings, one wonders, did Titian approach what he knew was his last work?

29658Have you forgotten that he calls you Michael, less man than angel, and divine? 29658 I ask myself, Is this a dream?
29658In my art what do I find?
29658Is there never a retroscope mirror, In the realms and corners of space, That can give us a glimpse of the battle, And the soldiers face to face?
29658Is there now any one that knows What a world of mystery lies deep down in the heart of a rose?
29658Of me?
29658Where are now the freighted barks From the marts of east and west? 29658 Who was he that gave that fresh life and thought?
29658''Father, father, what will become of us?''
29658And thou art bald behind?''
29658And what went they out for to seek?
29658Are such works as those of Canova and Thorwaldsen no longer created?
29658Are we but apes?
29658But what is land, or what is wave, To me, who only jewels crave?
29658Can it be that art is no longer of national importance?
29658Can it only be relegated to a class, an order, of its own, and considered as being-- Vedderesque?
29658Can one ever lose out of memory the indescribable charm of this leisurely sauntering, in social enjoyment, in the wonderful interior of St. Peter''s?
29658Does the wraith of Cardinal Capuano, who founded this convent, still wander in midnight hours through the dim cloisters?
29658Entering a"lift"truly American in its comfort and speed, he is wafted up the heights and steps out in-- is it paradise?
29658Has it a recognized social life, with"seasons"that come and go?
29658Has it a resident population to whom it is a home, and not the pilgrimage of passionate pilgrims?
29658Has it any existence save on the artist''s canvas, in the poet''s vision?
29658Has it trade, commerce, traffic?
29658Has it, in the present state of human progress, any place which will justify devotion to it?"
29658Has the lovely town anything beside sunsets and stars and poets''dreams?
29658How can he find the design to phrase his thought-- this painter of ideas?
29658If you are not working will you not come at your leisure to- day and talk with me?"
29658Is Capri the isle of Epipsychidion?
29658Is Parthenope still to be descried?
29658Is it yonder, worlds away, Where the strange and new have birth, That Power comes in full play?"
29658Is there a land of such supreme And perfect beauty, anywhere?"
29658Is there in the air a faint, lingering echo of the_ chant d''amour_ of sirens on the rocky shores?
29658Is this not too narrow and sweeping a judgment?
29658Mr. Hillard adds:--"But who that can appreciate the sublime in art will fail to bow down before it as embodied in this wonderful statue?
29658Mr. Stillman, discussing the revival of art, has questioned:"Does the world want art any longer?
29658One should have a thousand points of steel with which to write, and what can a single pen do?
29658Se''l poco accresce,''l mio superchio lima Vostra pietà; qual penitenzia aspetta Mio fiero ardor, se mi gastiga e insegna?"
29658Shall he degrade life by calling these the realities?
29658Shall such an artist degrade his power by portraying ugliness-- the mere defects of negations and distortions?
29658So the past links itself again with the present; and who can tell where any story in life begins or ends in the constant evolutionary progress?
29658That youth''s sweet- scented manuscript should close?
29658The legend runs:--"''Of what town is thy sculptor?''
29658The nightingale that in the branches sang, Oh, where and whither flown again,--who knows?
29658The poet''s vision recognizes the truth:--"I know there shall dawn a day,--Is it here on homely earth?
29658There, gloomed with the memorials of my past, Thou once for all didst learn what man accepts Lothly--(how should he else?)
29658To which the Duchessa replies:--"How could the daughter of a king of France We d such a duke?"
29658Truly does Balzac exclaim:"Is not God the whole of science, the all of love, the source of poetry?"
29658What are these bounties, if they only be Such boon as farmers to their servants give?
29658What does William Watson say?
29658What penance then is due For my fierce heat, chastened and taught by you?"
29658Where but in Rome would have come to Crawford the vision of his"Orpheus"and of his noble Beethoven?
29658Where the knights in iron sarks Journeying to the Holy Land, Glove of steel upon the hand, Cross of crimson on the breast?
29658Where the merchants with their wares?
29658Where the pilgrims with their prayers?
29658Where the pomp of camp and court?
29658Which of these statues is calculated to uplift and to exalt all who come near?
29658Who could ask for more?
29658Who shall analyze the secret springs of their inspiration and reveal to what degree Ovid and Horace and Virgil influenced the later literature?
29658Who than thy poet fondlier knew The peaks and the shore and the lore between?
29658Why should it not have been the clairvoyance of supernatural ecstasy opening the world of spirits?
29658Why should that be a projection of a morbid and devout imagination?
29658Will it all vanish into air?
29658c''est là Rome?
29658or to Stetson that ineffable vision of"The Child,"and that wonderful group called"Music"?
29658or to Story his"Libyan Sibyl,"and that exquisite group,"Into the Silent Land"?
29658or to Vedder his marvellous creations of"The Fates Gathering in the Stars,"the"Cumæan Sibyl,"or the"Dance of the Pleiades"?
29658see you not that, if you love the destruction one of the other you are ruining your very selves?
29658she cried out;''who will care for us now, or console us in our troubles?''
29658to Simmons his triumphant"Angel of the Resurrection,"and"The Genius of Progress Leading the Nations"?

39100Why not?
39100A city on the coast may last without a harbour which has once brought it consequence; but would it have grown without one to a place of power?
39100And was any ever set in a fairer country?
39100And who shall say their tradition is not true?
39100Are we not growing a little tired of churches?
39100But how?
39100But if certain things happened a great while ago, is it my fault?
39100But no Livy?
39100But what gains a ready sale for them?
39100But what, then, was the library doing in this splendid and costly villa at Herculaneum?
39100But where, then, is the rest of that gigantic wall?
39100But why guess about a question so impossible to solve?
39100But why, or with what object?
39100But why?
39100Day and night, in the fancy of the great Florentine, Rome lay weeping, widowed and alone, calling constantly,"Cesare mio, why hast thou deserted me?"
39100Did I complain of the lack of music?
39100Did he in truth act only from those pure motives?
39100Does anyone ask how the beans became so bitter?
39100Does it still exist?
39100Else whence came the heaps of whitening bones of lost sailors, among which the Sirens sat and sang?
39100Had he done so, would he not have driven off the other way, and melted down the Madonna in his own cottage?
39100How came that old glory to sink into shame, to accept slavery and to forget faith?
39100How came the picture there?
39100How did the guests look when the guard went round arresting every man of mark or consequence within the hall?

39100Over the upper one is written''RAFA''( Raphael), above another''MICAH, SCS VRVS''(?).
39100Perhaps not quite, but what of that?
39100Perhaps they did not; perhaps-- but what is the use of suppositions?
39100The lad heard them, and went towards them saying,"What is it, my people?"
39100The theory was clear, but who could interpret the practice on all occasions?

39100Who could have cared to collect the works of Philodemus, large and small, even to the notes he made from other books?
39100Who could it be but Philodemus himself, the only man, surely, for whom such a collection would have value?
39100Who has not felt the charm of that naïve irresponsibility which pervades the tales of Naples in old days?
39100Who has not read of the nocturnal adventures of Andreuccio, who came from Pisa to Naples to buy horses with twenty gold florins in his pocket?
39100Who knows whether the city will escape more lightly when the next epidemic comes?
39100Who was Nicolò Pesce?
39100Who was the man who made himself a home so splendid?
39100Who were these men, and how has it happened that they lie here all together?
39100Who were these men?
39100Who would not wish to see the very lanes through which he wandered naked in the night?
39100Who would unroll these charred manuscripts, and who could possibly read them when unrolled?
39100Why did not the dyers establish their vats at the foot of the hill, profiting by the constant intercourse of Amalfi with other cities?
39100Why must we be wiser than fifty generations of mankind?
39100Why need we be puzzled that we can not make our balance agree with hers?
39100Why, one wonders, did not the first builders use it, and let the city grow around it?
39100With what object did he build tower and arched vault in spots where only sea- birds could have the fancy for alighting?
39100Yet even in fibs there must be probability, or where would be the use of them?
39100You think the moment has gone by for speaking of the islets?
39100or at least, why did they not place their keep and fortress on the Pizzofalcone?
39100what is the use of asking such questions about a myth?
18049But,said I,"I see no soldier; where is the garrison to defend the fort?"
18049Compassion is wasted upon such creatures,said R----;"do you not see that their minds are degraded down to their condition?
18049Indi esclamo, qual''notte atra, importuua Tutte l''ampie tue glorie a un tratto amorza? 18049 Nothing else?"

18049After this specimen, sketched from life, who will say there are such things as caricatures?
18049Ah!--true-- I remember: was n''t she the widow of Charles the Second, who married Ariosto?"
18049Are they sans eyes, sans souls, sans taste, sans every thing, but money and self- conceit?
18049At least to keep her infirmities from view and not to expose her too undressed?
18049At length he ventured to ask, in bad provincial Italian, what I did there?
18049But the antidote of Paul-- even faith-- may it not be mine if I duly seek it?
18049But this is not well; why indeed should I repine?
18049Can it then be possible that he is right?
18049Even at Naples, even in this all- lovely land,"fit haunt for gods,"has it not been with me as it has been elsewhere?
18049Have I seen, have I felt the reality of what I have so often imagined?
18049He begged to know,"_ come diavolo_,"I had got there?
18049I apologized politely:"And where,"said I,"is the governor?"
18049I asked,"why should such faultless, such exquisite sculpture be thrown away upon a high pediment?
18049I can not quite forget; but if I can cease to remember for a few minutes, or even, it may be, for a few hours?
18049I turned back to ask her whether she had ever been told that she was like_ that_ picture?
18049If such is this country in winter, what must it be in summer?
18049In one devoted heart I reign, And what is all the rest below?
18049Is it not strange that while life is thus rapidly wasting, I should still be so strong to suffer?
18049Must it be ever thus?
18049Painting has been called the handmaid of nature; is it not the duty of a handmaid to array her mistress to the best possible advantage?
18049Shall I hear it to- morrow, when I wake?
18049The whole scene was-- but how can I say what it was?
18049Think you if Laura had been Petrarch''s wife, He would have written sonnets all his life?
18049To- day I saw the same crucifix in a suit of mourning; why should not our South Sea missionaries come and preach here?
18049We take him perhaps for another Pygmalion?
18049We visited the church of San Pietro in Viscoli, to see Michel Angelo''s famous statue of Moses,--of which, who has not heard?
18049What can be more grand than a noble forest of English oak?
18049What can charm us more?
18049What is that little cupid about, who is groping in the cistern behind?
18049What then must it be to me?
18049What would have become of me if I had not thought of keeping a Diary?
18049What would it avail me to keep a mere journal of suffering?
18049When he said that the object existed not in this world which could lead him twenty yards out of his way, did this sound like happiness?
18049Who had inhabited the edifices I trampled under my feet?
18049Who knows but this dark cloud may pass away?
18049Why to my desponding heart, Darkly thinking, Sadly sinking, Can ye no delight impart?
18049Why was I proud of my victory over passion?
18049Yes-- but what must I do, then, with my volume in green morocco?
18049Yet if this vain philosophy lead to happiness, would not S** be happy?
18049Yet_ if_ he should be right?

18049why does Profane Love wear gloves?
18049why within our limited sphere of action, our short and imperfect existence have we such boundless capacity for enjoying and suffering?

14972But having once stood there, how can we forget the station?
14972But how to get at the window, which is pretty high above the ground, and out of reach of the most ardent revellers?
14972But 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?
14972But who are the several heroes of the Æginetan pediment, and what was the subject of the Pheidian statues on the Parthenon?
14972But who can resist the influence of Greek ideas at the Cap S. Martin?
14972But, since it was a dream and nothing more, why should I repeat it?
14972Did he hope that the exiles would return to Florence, and that he would enjoy an honourable life, an immortality of glorious renown?
14972Did he imitate the Roman Brutus in the noble spirit of his predecessors, Olgiati and Boscoli, martyrs to the creed of tyrannicide?
14972Did the murderers find it blurred in its fine lineaments, furrowed with lines of care, hollowed with the soul''s hunger?
14972Do I interpret your meaning, gracious lady?''
14972Do you not hear the women cry?
14972Emon?
14972Have we not all seen the anguish of thought- fretted faces smoothed out by the hands of the Deliverer?
14972He met an old woman herb- gathering at daybreak, and said,''Mother, hast thou seen a crow or other bird?''
14972How are we to square this testimony with the witness of the bronze before us?
14972How can we answer these questions except by supposing that music was for him the utterance through art of some emotion?
14972How can we fail, amid the tumult of our common cares, to feel at times the hush of that far- off tranquillity?
14972How can you be certain that the part itself did not stimulate his musical faculty to fresh and still more appropriate creativeness?
14972How can you prove he did not feel a natural appropriateness in the_ motifs_ he selected from his memory for Cherubino?
14972How 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?
14972How shall we describe their potency?
14972How should the legend be interpreted?
14972I continued,''is the drama but emotion presented in its most external forms as action?
14972I wondered whether they were tingling still with the heart- throbs and with the pressure of those many arms?
14972If Luini had felt passion, who shall say?
14972If 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?
14972Is not, indeed, our whole life of this nature?
14972Is there truth, then, in the dim tradition that this mountain land was colonised by Etruscans?
14972Is, then, the anthropomorphic God as momentary and as accidental in the system of the world as that vapoury spectre?
14972Is_ Ras_ the root of Rhætia?
14972Meanwhile, what had become of young Goldoni?
14972My literary taste was tickled by the praise bestowed in the Augustan age on Rhætic grapes by Virgil: Et quo te carmine dicam, Rhætica?
14972Now, really, were we amusing ourselves?
14972Of one of these he asked,''Whose is yonder funeral procession returning from San Pietro?''

14972She is quite alone; but are not her father and mother in bed above, and within earshot?
14972So they mounted to the bedroom, and Lorenzino, knowing where the Duke was laid, cried:''Sir, are you asleep?''
14972THE CASTELLO OF FERRARA Is it possible that the patron saints of cities should mould the temper of the people to their own likeness?
14972The women fluttered about us and kept asking whether we really liked it all?
14972The young poet felt at home; how could a comic poet feel otherwise?
14972Then, 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?''
14972Thereupon 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?
14972These were of unquestionable value; for has not Cicognara engraved them on a page of his classic monograph?
14972To reach such a garden and such sunlight who would not mount six stories and thread a labyrinth of passages?
14972VII.--LORENZINO BRUTUS It remains to ask ourselves, What opinion can be justly formed of Lorenzino''s character and motives?
14972Was it for this that we had left our English home, and travelled from London day and night?
14972Was the winged and sworded genius upon the Ephesus column meant for a genius of Death or a genius of Love?
14972We are forced to go farther back, and ask ourselves, What suggested it in the first place to the composer?
14972What changed the face, so beautiful and terrible in youth, to ugliness that shrank from sight in manhood?
14972What does a man want more?
14972What does it communicate to you?''
14972What does the lamb mean?
14972What has Love to do With prudence?
14972What pass or cranny in that precipice is cloven for its escape?
14972What were the God who sat outside to scan The spheres that''neath His finger circling ran?
14972What will Cherubino be after three years?
14972What would he find distinctive of their spirit?
14972What, after all, is the love of the Alps, and when and where did it begin?
14972What, again, was the temporal power of the Papacy but a sword embedded in a cross?
14972What, we think, as we gaze upward, would the Master have given for such a craftsman?
14972When I show thy shirt, who will vow to let his beard grow till the murderer is slain?
14972When he murdered his cousin, was he really actuated by the patriotic desire to rid his country of a monster?
14972Whence can it issue?
14972Where then can a more complete artistic harmony be found than in the opera?''
14972Who is there left to do it?
14972Who knows what cry of the Convention made the painter fling his palette down and leave the masterpiece he might have spoiled?
14972Who shall translate those curiously perfect words to which tone and rhythm have been indissolubly wedded?
14972Who was he?
14972Who will undertake thy vengeance?
14972Why did the Lord so much desire you?
14972Why 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''?
14972Why linger pondering in the porch?
14972Why rose the Camaldolis and Chartreuses over Europe?
14972Why, morning after morning, does the red dawn flush the pinnacles of Monte Rosa above cloud and mist unheeded?
14972Why, then, is this?
14972Why, then, should monks, so persuaded of the riddle of the earth, have placed themselves in scenes so beautiful?
14972Without some other power than the mind of man, could men have fashioned for themselves those ideals that they named their gods?
14972Would he like the voyage?
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?
14972a disillusioned rake, a sentimentalist, an effete fop, a romantic lover?
14972art thou sleeping?
14972whether it was true we danced?
14972whether we should come to the_ pranzo_?
14972who will console me for your loss?
14972why did he use it precisely in connection with this dramatic situation?
16477Come volete faccia che non pianga, Sapendo che da voi devo partire? 16477 Silk?"
16477What have you there that you are shutting up so close?
164775), and Solinus too, as though it were indubitable: who does not know that Pisa was from Pelops?"
16477Ah, what would we not give just for a moment to hear his voice in that place to- day?
16477And how should I but be glad that the sun will be hot, and how should I but be thankful that I shall come under the olives?
16477And if you do, are they any more to you than an idle tale, a legend, which has lost even its meaning?
16477And then has he not built as only a painter could have done, in white and rose and green?
16477And then where is there a better inn than Albergo Amorosi of Bibbiena, unless, indeed, it be the unmatched hostelry at Fivizzano?
16477And then, was it not Cosimo who had rebuilt the convent, was it not Cosimo who had built S. Lorenzo and S. Spirito too, by the hand of Michelozzo?
16477And then, who knows what awaits one on the way?
16477And when they had gone on a little way, the peasant said to St. Francis,''Tell me, art thou Brother Francis of Assisi?''
16477And, indeed, the latter conclusion seems likely, for who can believe that the Duke would have cared for a nude portrait of his wife as Venus?
16477As we look at their work in the galleries and churches, who cares what has happened to them, or whether such graves as theirs are rifled or no?
16477But in Cosimo''s day men had no fear, the day was at the dawn: who could have thought by sunset life would be so disastrous?
16477But of one of the pupils of Luca, Agostino di Duccio, 1418- 81(?
16477But, indeed, what crime would be too great in order to possess oneself of such a thing?
16477By what right do you refuse to do what I have done?
16477Can it be that, after all, it would have seemed more secure, more firm and established, if the spire Giotto designed for it had in truth been built?
16477Can it have been this"pious brother"who wrote the_ Fioretti_?
16477Could these things have happened in any other city save Prato, or to any other than a child in the days not so long before Savonarola was burned?
16477Did she hear as of old-- that Virgin with narrow half- open eyes and the sidelong look?
16477Do you wonder why Carrara has never produced a sculptor?
16477Full of memories-- and of what else, then, but the past can she dream?
16477Hearing them make mention of Brother Francis, he asked them:''Are ye of the brethren of the brother of Assisi, of whom so much good is spoken?''
16477Hearing these words, St. Francis thought no scorn to be admonished by a peasant, and said not within himself,''What beast is this doth admonish me?''
16477How could Lorenzo restore that which he had never stolen away, that which had, in truth, never had any real existence?
16477How may I describe the wonder of that place?
16477How, after the delight, the delicate charm of the fifteenth century, can I speak of this beautiful, strong, and tragic soul?
16477In this disaster who knows what became of the miracle picture of Madonna?
16477Is it any wonder her fellow- servants hated her, called her modesty simplicity, her want of spirit servility?
16477Is it any wonder that, impossible as his dream appeared, he had his way with Florence at last-- yes, and with himself too?
16477Is it only sleep?
16477Is it still true of her, that though she is proud she is not proud enough?
16477Is, then, the work of Marsilio Ficino nothing, the labours of a thousand forgotten humanists?
16477Nor was that vision, so full of wisdom( a vision of birth or resurrection, was it?)
16477O poggio traditor, che ne farai?
16477O poggio traditor, che ne farete?
16477Or again, with half a sob--"Come volete faccia che non pianga Sapendo che da voi devo partire?
16477Shall we forgive them, and forget that since our hearts are changed they are changed also?
16477Surely it was an emerald once?
16477That Virgin, was she Queen of Angels or some Florentine girl?--and then those angels, are they not the very children of the City of Flowers?
16477That passionate and dreadful picture of St. Mary Magdalen covered by her hair as with a robe of red gold, does it move us at all?
16477Then said I,"What are those leaves that you have there, and what are you going to do with them?"
16477Then they sing of Saturday and Sunday--"Quando sara sabato sera, quando?
16477There he found him in ecstasy, saying,''Who art Thou, O most sweet, my God?
16477There lay Luca della Robbia, Lorenzo di Credi, Mariotto Albertinelli, Piero di Cosimo: where is their dust to- day?
16477There you may see him lecturing to his students, and one of them is a woman; can it be that Selvaggia whom he loved?
16477Those small pictures of the life of St. Mary, which surround her still with their beauty, do you even know what they mean?
16477Was it Florence herself perhaps who hung there?
16477Was it a bird, or my angel, whose beautiful, anxious wings trembled lest I should fall in a land less simple than this?
16477Was it for this the Greeks blinded their statues, lest the gods being in exile, they might be shamed by the indifference of men?
16477Was this a premonition of his own death, a hint, as it were, that in such a place one like Shelley might well hope for from the gods?
16477Was this, then, the saviour of Savonarola''s dreams?
16477Well, but that depends on what you seek, does it not?
16477What am I, most vile worm, and Thine unprofitable servant?''
16477What could be more like a child''s dream of a church than La Madonna delle Carceri?
16477What do we owe to Savonarola?
16477What has the Venetian Jew, Daniel Manin, to do with them?
16477What music does he hear, that monk with the beautiful sensitive hands, who turns away towards his companion?
16477What then did Pisa look like in these the days of her great power and prosperity?
16477What then, we may ask ourselves, were the aim and desire of the Italian builders, which it seems have escaped us for so long?
16477What was it that haunted this shore, full of foreboding, prophesying death?
16477What, then, was that Savonarola whom all have conspired to praise, whose windy prophecies, whose blasphemous cursings men count as so precious?
16477Wherefore?
16477Who knows what Italy, under the heel of the barbarian, does not owe to these faded pages, and through Italy the world?
16477Who knows what beauty has here passed by?
16477Who knows?
16477Who knows?
16477Who may describe the colour and the delicate glory of this work?
16477Will it explain to us the rise of Florentine painting?
16477Will one ever reach them, those far- away pure peaks immaculate in silence, like a thought of God in the loneliness of the mountains?
16477Yes, and to- day, too, do they not proclaim the tombola where once they announced a victory?
16477[ 137] What can have been the overmastering necessity that drove her on so bloody a path?
16477[ 138] And did not Pistoja guard the way to the north, to Bologna, to Milan, to Flanders, and England, whence came the wool that was her wealth?
16477[ 62] Was it here, or in the Ospedale dei Trovatelli close to S. Michele in Borgo?
16477[ 84] Was it that he envied him his verses or feared his wisdom, or did he indeed think he plotted with the Pope?
16477[ Illustration: THE LADY WITH THE NOSEGAY( VANNA TORNABUONI?)
16477_ Alinari_]"Will the Signore see the church?"

14634''What''s his race?''
14634''Who''s his father?''
14634A bloodhound; do you brave, do you stand me?
14634A bravo is asked: Dost thou imagine thou canst slide on blood, And not be tainted with a shameful fall?
14634A girl speaks thus within sight of the grave( p. 808):-- Yes, I shall die: what wilt thou gain?
14634Ah, 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?
14634Ah, when will dawn that day of bliss When we before the priest say Yes?
14634Am I your dog?
14634And what can be more piteous than this prayer?
14634And whence flows this pride?
14634But how should the unfortunate Francesco be entrapped?
14634Charles Lamb was certainly in error?
14634Couldst thou not speak some seasonable word, Tell him what shame this idle love hath wrought?
14634Do the noblemen of Rome Erect it for their wives, that I am sent To lodge there?
14634Do you know me?
14634Fair one, haste our king to greet: Who will fling him blossoms sweet Soonest on this first of May?
14634For what past sorrow is he weary of his life?
14634From those who feel the fire I feel, what use Is there in asking pardon?
14634He looks sturdy, and may live to be of any age-- doomed always, is that possible, to beg?
14634He who steals another''s heart, Let him give his own heart too: Who''s the robber?
14634How can I sing light- souled and fancy- free, When my loved lord no longer smiles on me?

14634How can I sing light- souled and fancy- free, When my loved lord no longer smiles on me?
14634How have I made, dear Lord, dame Fortune wroth?
14634How indeed could he make this city in a moment free, after sixty years of slow and systematic corruption?
14634How shall I bear a pang so passing sore?
14634How shall I make the fount of tears abound, To weep apace with grief''s unmeasured flow?
14634How shall we reconstruct the long- past life which filled its rooms with sound, the splendour of its pageants, the thrill of tragedies enacted here?
14634I have often asked myself, Who, then, was this nun?
14634In his rage he cries: What fury raised_ thee_ up?
14634In other words, what is the characteristic which, proceeding from the personality of the artist, is impressed on all his work?
14634In the following picture of the house of Venus, who shall say how much of Ariosto''s Alcina and Tasso''s Armida is contained?
14634Is a girl about to win A brave husband in her lover?-- Straight you set to talk him over:''Is he wealthy?''
14634Is all art excellent in itself and good in its effect that is beautiful and earnest?
14634Is he out in it, and where?
14634Love, what hast thou to command?
14634Mark ye how sunk in woe The poor wretch forth doth pass, And may not answer, for his grief, one word?
14634Methinks I am dropping in swoon or slumber: Am I drunken or sober, yes or no?
14634Midas treads a wearier measure: All he touches turns to gold: If there be no taste of pleasure, What''s the use of wealth untold?
14634No, you pander?
14634Now, prithee, let me hear what made you stay So long upon the upland lawns away?
14634O traitor hill, what shall it be?
14634O traitor hill, what will you do?
14634Or is it my brain that reels away?
14634Or with thy beauty choose To make him blest who loves thee best of all?
14634Or, like the black and melancholic yew- tree, Dost think to root thyself in dead men''s graves, And yet to prosper?
14634Oredimus?
14634Say, 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?
14634Say, hast thou seen her now?
14634See''st thou that all his senses are distraught?
14634See, I have emptied my horn already: Stretch hither your beaker to me, I pray: Are the hills and the lawns where we roam unsteady?
14634Shall we these years that are so fair let fly?
14634Should he bring manuscripts or marbles, precious vases or inscriptions in half- legible Greek character?
14634Since you beg with such a grace, How can I refuse a song, Wholesome, honest, void of wrong, On the follies of the place?
14634Since you beg with such a grace, How can I refuse a song, Wholesome, honest, void of wrong, On the follies of the place?
14634Tell me, dear love, which are the most, Your light steps or the sighs they cost?
14634Tell me, dear love, which more abound, My sighs or your steps on the ground?
14634The scholar''s scepticism, which lies at the root of his perversity, finds utterance in this meditation upon death: Whither shall I go now?
14634Then answers Love: Hast thou no memory How I to lovers this great guerdon give, Free from all human bondage to endure?
14634Thyrsis, what thinkest thou of thy loved lord?
14634What anguish of remorse has driven him to such a solitude?
14634What are these weights my feet encumber?
14634What beauty manifest?
14634What calm is in the kiss of noon?
14634What found you by the way to do?
14634What grace of heaven, what lucky star benign Yields me the sight of beauty so divine?''
14634What 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?
14634What have I done, dear Lord, the world to cross?
14634What have I done, dear Lord, to fret the folk?
14634What history had she?
14634What is''t distracts you?
14634What joy hast thou to keep a captive hung?
14634What joy hath rapt me from my own control?
14634What light is this?
14634What man is he who with his golden lyre Hath moved the gates that never move, While the dead folk repeat his dirge of love?
14634What mattered it that the theme was slight?
14634What melody?
14634What of the calf?
14634What place would there be for a Correggio or a Raphael in such a world as Webster''s?
14634What sorrow- laden song shall e''er be found To match the burden of my matchless woe?
14634What sweet makes me swoon?
14634What terrible crime had consigned him to this living tomb?
14634What was the cause of his death?
14634What''s this flesh?
14634What, me, my lord?
14634What, then, is the Correggiosity of Correggio?
14634When comes the day, my staff, my strength, To call your mother mine at length?
14634When will the Italians learn to use these men as Fabius or as Cæsar, not as the Vitelli and the Trinci used them?
14634When will the day come, love of mine, I shall be yours and you be mine?
14634Whence came pure peace into my soul?
14634Where am I?
14634Where is the sun which shone so fair?
14634Who brought me here?
14634Who can rebuke me then if I am kind So far as honesty comports and Love?
14634Who e''er will sing so sweetly, now she''s gone?
14634Who hath laid laws on Love?
14634Who knows, for instance, the veritable author of many of those mighty German chorals which sprang into being at the period of the Reformation?
14634Who speaks?
14634Who was the first to give it shape and form?
14634Why did the Greeks consecrate these myrtle- rods to Death as well as Love?
14634Why 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?
14634Will pity not be given For one short look so full thereof?
14634Wilt thou not put thy flower of youth to use?
14634Would you be kicked?
14634Would you have your neck broke?
14634Yet both perhaps have scarcely interpreted their own spirit; for is not the true source of tears deeper and more secret?

14634through what long years Will she withhold her face from me, Which stills the stormy skies howe''er they rave?
14634what is''t?
14634what''s that?
14634what''s that?
14634wherefore did she cease and loose my hand?
23430A specimen of what?
23430And ca n''t we do so?
23430And did he eat them up?
23430And may I invite Allie too?
23430And now,said Rollo,"what are we to do for drink?"
23430And suppose I find more than one?
23430And suppose there are not more than two,asked Rollo,"what shall we do then?"
23430And what became of him at last?
23430And what became of the babies?
23430And what did they do with the Coliseum then?
23430And which would you rather do,asked Mr. George,"go in the morning or in the evening?
23430And which, all things considered, is the greatest work, do you think?
23430Are there many that have taken passage before us?
23430Are there two beds in it?
23430Are you and this other lady the gentleman''s party?
23430Are you sure it is the same column?
23430Are you under his care?
23430But how will you manage to get him to go with his uncle?
23430But what_ time_ to- morrow?
23430Ca n''t you find one at some hotel?
23430Can you speak French?
23430Do n''t know the name of the hotel where you are lodging?
23430Do n''t know?
23430Do n''t the diligence stop somewhere for us to dine?
23430Do you know where it is?
23430Do you see the wound in his side?
23430Do you suppose that there are dangerous places up here?
23430Do you suppose they mean to make us pay?
23430Getting robbed by the brigands?
23430Glad of it?
23430Have you got any that you want to have changed?
23430How big?
23430How did you know what it was that that man asked you?
23430How do you know that that is the name of it?
23430How do you know?
23430How long shall you probably be gone?
23430How much did you pay her, Rollo?
23430How much is a_ rotolo_, uncle George?
23430How shall we get our passports again?
23430Is it good news, or bad news?
23430Is it here where the men fought with the lions and the tigers?
23430Is it possible?
23430Is that the Tarpeian Rock?
23430Is that what they call speaking English?
23430Is there a commissioner here who speaks English or French?
23430Is there a special hall for the Dying Gladiator?
23430Italian?
23430Maria,said he, addressing his young wife,"where do you think Copley has gone?"
23430Must I count every thing, uncle George?
23430Must we keep awake?
23430Nor of the street that it is in?
23430Pacifico,said Mr. William,"do you know where Copley is?"
23430Rollo,said he,"are you sure that we can find our way home again?"
23430Shall we walk home?
23430Six acres?
23430Then are you sorry you came?
23430Then your uncle is not going that way?
23430Then, if there are more than two berths that are not occupied by the Naples passengers, we can have them?
23430This very arena right before us?
23430Uncle George,said Rollo, as they walked along,"how came all their ears and noses broken off in this way?"
23430Uncle George,said Rollo,"how do you suppose we can get up into the upper part, among the tiers of seats?"
23430Under this bridge?
23430We have not been there yet, have we?
23430Well, Rollo,said Mr. George,"have you had a pleasant walk?"
23430What are mosaics and cameos?
23430What are we stopping for here?
23430What boy is it?
23430What did they build it for?
23430What did they strip the marble off for?
23430What do these children want?
23430What do you mean by conditions to be fulfilled?
23430What do you mean by that?
23430What do you suppose they keep the gate locked for?
23430What does that cord around his neck mean?
23430What does that mean?
23430What else did you read about, uncle George,said Rollo,"while I was counting the plants?"
23430What good will that do?
23430What has become of all the seats, uncle George?
23430What is it?
23430What is that for?
23430What is the Pantheon?
23430What is their pretext?
23430What little ark?
23430What shall I order?
23430What time to- morrow shall I come?
23430What time?
23430What time?
23430What was the stanza?
23430What will you do?
23430What would you do?
23430When can you have it done?
23430When?
23430Where has he gone?
23430Where is Ostia?
23430Where is he going?
23430Where is it that they are going?
23430Who are looking?
23430Who do n''t?
23430Who is William?
23430Who is he?
23430Who is of your party?
23430Why did not I think of that? 23430 Why did not they shoot her?"
23430Why did you want me to take the carriage by the hour?
23430Why do n''t they mend the hole?
23430Why, do you care about seeing the Tarpeian Rock?
23430Why?
23430Wo n''t the silk worms eat any kind of leaves but mulberry leaves?
23430Would n''t you what?
23430Would not they pay us back again?
23430Yes, but he would have been dressed differently, would n''t he?
23430And I am determined not to submit to it-- would you?"
23430And now, do you think it is a good quality, or a bad quality?"
23430Are there any places for Tuesday?"
23430But what is it that makes this rock so famous?"
23430Can I see a plan of the steamer so as to select the berths?"
23430Could n''t you and I go?"
23430Do n''t you see how yellow it is?"
23430How do you suppose they got up there?
23430How many species do you think he found?"
23430Shall he expire, And unavenged?
23430Should you dare to go alone?"
23430What do you suppose they mean?"
23430What does that mean?"
23430What is independence?"
23430What is it, Rollo?"
23430What is the name of the hotel?"
23430What shall we stop to see?"
23430Where are the gentlemen?"
23430Where do you suppose that steamer is coming from?"
23430Where is your uncle?"
23430Which of you gentlemen acts as treasurer?"
23430Would n''t you, uncle George?"
23430Would you like to go and see it, sir?"
23430asked Charles,"as long as we do n''t know what to ask them for?"
23430asked Mr. George--"to the Vatican?"
23430asked Rollo,"or shall I find a carriage, so that we can ride?"
23430four hundred?"
23430repeated Rollo;"how came the French here?"
23430replied Alice,"how can you say so?"
23340Any Reb- bils out yonder?
23340Are you pulling in there, you men?
23340At Washington, ma''am?
23340Boy,I heard him say, to a slight figure, near at hand,"boy, what are you standing there for?
23340But where were Porter''s columns?
23340By right or by conquest?
23340Can I obtain any facts from you,I continued,"as to the battle of Hanover?"
23340Can ye not watch with me one hour?
23340Can you make out his shoulder- bar?
23340Chamberlain,said Griffin,"ca n''t you save the honor of the Fifth corps?"
23340Colonel,I called to the officer in command, as the line of bayonets edged me in,"may I pass out?
23340Dear me,said Mr. Axiom,"you would ruin our circulation at a wink; what would become of our ball column?
23340Did n''t I projuce yer honor in good time, sur?
23340Did you ever make a public lecture?
23340Did you lose yer poultry?
23340Did you lose yer sheep?
23340Do her pictures look like her?
23340Do n''t the Irish make the best soldiers?
23340Do you command?
23340Doctor,said one, feebly,"I feel very cold: do you think that this is death?
23340For what?
23340Friend, have you a drop of water for a man that''s fainted here?
23340Fuh what puhpose?
23340He is going,exclaimed a private, excitedly;"where''s the man that was to try a lead on him?"
23340How did they go?
23340How do you know?
23340I wonda if dey''ll take Richmond dis yer day?
23340Is that so? 23340 Is there any reward out?"
23340Is there but one of''em?
23340Is this General M''Call?
23340Is this your house?
23340Just makin''reconnoissance,said one of the freebooters;"s''pose a feller has a right to walk around, hain''t he?"
23340Moss,he said again,"ai n''t you got no tobacco, Moss?
23340My friends,--may I say, almost my parents? 23340 News?"
23340Not unless he has a pass,said the Quartermaster;"have you written permission to leave camp?"
23340P''raps not,said the tall soldier, drily;"did you ever grub on fat pork, Miss?
23340Pray describe how Payne twisted, and whether you think Atzeroth''s neck was dislocated?
23340Sot down, honey,said the old woman, producing a wooden stool;"is you a Yankee, honey?
23340Stuart, how are you?
23340Then I am not upon the Alexandria turnpike?
23340Townsend,said Heath, as he swept the whole country with his keen eye,"do you know that we are standing upon historic ground?"
23340Townsend,said Lowe,"have you the copy of that matter you printed about me in England?
23340Under arrest? 23340 Was the rope attached to her left ear?"
23340Was we licked, do you think?
23340Were you aware of the order prohibiting correspondents from keeping with the advance?
23340What do you mean by crossed?
23340What giggling for, Bob?
23340What is it you wish, Lieutenant?
23340What is it?
23340What is the color of his coat?
23340What is the matter, my man?
23340What sort of rope was it, for example?
23340What will the girls say when they come back?
23340What''s this, Watch?
23340Where are your companies?
23340Where''s Gen. Banks? 23340 Where''s the man that wants to mutiny?"
23340Where''s your pass, bub?
23340Who are yeou?
23340Who are you?
23340Who invited you?
23340Who is it, Sergeant?
23340Who is it?
23340Who opened it?
23340Who''s thar?
23340Whose horses are these?
23340Why not?
23340You are a Northern man?
23340You knew that you had no business upon scouts, forages, or reconnoissances; why did you go?
23340Young Moss,said he,"ca nt you give a po''soul a drop o''sperits?
23340_ Would n''t_ she tell Henry? 23340 ( Pens?) 23340 A universal fear now found expression, and helpless people asked of each other, with pale lips--How far have we to walk to reach the James?"
23340Ai n''t dat so, chillen?"
23340All were looking up, and saying, in pleading monotone:"Is that you, doctor?"
23340Among the hogs, I think?"
23340And where have ye been?
23340Are yeou a rebbil?"
23340Are you going to ride over this wounded feller?"
23340Are you shot bad, Bobby?"
23340Besides, how did I know that some correspondent had not reached Washington, by way of one of the Potomac vessels, and so forestalled me?
23340But how few of the illustrious Senators, Chief Justices, Generals, etc., who draw their sustenance from the Capital, care a penny to decorate it?
23340But what were the circumstances?
23340Can Mr. Davis visit it, and pray as he does so devoutly afterward?
23340Cause why?
23340Compare this with Chancellorsville, Williamsburg, the Wilderness, Bull Run, and what shall we say?
23340Did you ever gnaw yer hard tack after a spell o''sickness, and a ten- hour march?
23340Directly Gen. Hartsuff returned, and the forager rose, with a grim smile about his mouth--"Hartsuff, God bless you, how- de- do?"
23340Do n''t you s''pose he''ll prent it all?"
23340Do you remember the thrilling chapter of"The Jew''s last night alive,"in"Oliver Twist?"
23340Does you want you fauchun told by de ole''oman?"
23340Has any battle so successful ever been fought in Virginia?
23340Has the attack succeeded?"
23340Have anymore of our boys been hurt that you know of?"
23340He relapsed again for a few minutes, when he continued:"You do n''t like fellers to bag yer poultry and sheep, do you?"
23340Hey, Ike?"
23340How many days or hours would have here sufficed to annihilate all the races of men?
23340How was I, so dismounted, to reach the distant river?
23340How''s that, Ike?
23340I believe you have telegraphed up to a House instrument, have n''t you?"
23340I saw a jail in Florence, and it troubled me; who in that beautiful city could do a crime?
23340If they had a been, why wa''n''t they on hand to save my regiment, and the New Jersey brigade?"
23340Is it harsh to say that artists have been too well rewarded, and thinkers and writers too ill?
23340Is not this work for gratulation?
23340Is that so, boys?"
23340Is there nothing over all?
23340It is an encomium in America, to say that a man"Can keep a hotel,"but what shall be said of the man who can keep a hotel in war- time?
23340It never rains but it pours, does it?"
23340It''s a sad thing to know that one''s children died enemies, is n''t it?
23340Massar, is your family from ole Virginny?"
23340Mother, where is the gruel you made for him?"
23340No?
23340No?
23340No?
23340Not any?
23340On the way from the field to the hospital he wandered in mind at times, crying out,"Captain Weaver how is that line?
23340One may be passing for a young duke, or tourist, or clergyman, or what not?
23340One of your military friends?
23340Pardner, is there water over there?"
23340Richmond had cost them half a million of lives, a mountain of blood and wealth, four years of deadly struggle; would they not complete its ruin?
23340Rough recognitions would ensue, as thus:--"Bobby, is that you, back there?--Bobby Baker?"
23340Shall I take my cigar at the Spotswood on Sunday fortnight?"
23340Shall the North be victorious in the next battle?
23340Shall we ever make Washington the representative Capital of the country?
23340She asked me, wistfully:"Masser, how fur to de nawf?"
23340The deplorable results?
23340The question at once occurred to me: Can I stand fire?
23340Townsend,"said he, smilingly,"back already?
23340Townsend?"
23340Was I in a hostile country, surrounded by thousands of armed men?
23340Was n''t I the boy to make the keers?"
23340Was this, in fact, revolution, and were these simple country girls and their lovers revolutionists?
23340We had met the enemy; were they to be ours?
23340We must a killed a thousand or two of''em, do n''t you think so, Adjutant?
23340Were the incidents of this evening portions of an historic era, and the ground about me to be commemorated by bloodshed?
23340Were we to retreat one hundred miles down the hostile Peninsula,--a battle at every rod, a grave at every footstep?
23340What capital had I for this essay?
23340What do you think, pardner?
23340What do you wish?"
23340What in---- do you want?"
23340What regrets for good resolves unfulfilled, and remorse for years misspent, made hideous these sore and panting hearts?
23340What were the results?
23340What''s to be done with_ us_?"
23340What?
23340Where were the lewd contractors, who had hoarded Confederate scrip by the basest exactions?
23340Who ever loved a mule?
23340Who is responsible for this?"
23340Why ai n''t we led up, sa- a- y?"
23340Why do n''t you shoot me?
23340Why, Jeems, could n''t we foot it, honey?"
23340Will Richmond surrender within a week?
23340Will you kindly bear with me a moment while the janitor gets me a glass of water?"
23340Wo n''t he be jealous?
23340Wo n''t he, lad?
23340Would n''t they let him and Sam off this wunst?
23340Would they finish what friends had commenced,--the sack, the desolation, the slaughter of the place?
23340You dead, Ally- bammy?
23340You do n''t think they''ll refuse to let me take his bones to Baltimore, do you, sir?
23340You have n''t got a drop of water, have you?"
23340and_ should n''t_ she write to Jeems?
23340or, indeed, in the East?
23340said I,"and the Pennsylvania Reserves?"
23340said an officer;"have they moved a battery so close?
23340said one,"what business you got wi''a hoss?"
23340said the Sergeant, sternly;"what are yeou deouin''aout at this hour o''the night?
23340said the old lady;"a must take care of''is''ealth; will a come hoom wi''Tummas and me and drink a bit o''tea?"
23340said the old man in his great voice,"where are you men going?"
23340she said, buoyantly--"is dat all?
23340was the mother''s next sob;"they loved the place: do you think they will know it?"
39629A dog''s tail?
39629And is that all you remember of that great building with its treasures of art, as the books might say?
39629And the blue grotto something no one should miss?
39629And what will you give for what I have for you?
39629And why, pray?
39629And you wo n''t ask me to ride around Aurelian''s wall on a bicycle?
39629Are n''t you coming with us?
39629Are there many sick among them?
39629Are there no wharves in Europe?
39629Are we in danger? 39629 Are we to go in those dreadful little boats?"
39629Are you cold?
39629Are you such a landlubber as not to know that in these days letters follow you regularly on your voyage?
39629Aunt Caroline,asked Irma, for the first time since they sailed venturing to put the question,"why do you say''poor boy''when you speak of Marion?"
39629But is n''t Capri very beautiful?
39629But ought you to take it?
39629But this is n''t Constantine''s church?
39629But when shall I go back to Rome?
39629But where does Katie come in?
39629But where in the world can you find a street short as Il Corso with more associations with great men? 39629 But where in the world did you learn the Italian you hurled at him?
39629But who cares about that now?
39629But why should it all come here?
39629But you are glad to go home?
39629Ca n''t a boy be a hero?
39629Ca n''t a boy of seventeen be a real hero?
39629Ca n''t you report it now?
39629Can I put it into words? 39629 Can mine eyes deceive me?"
39629Cities?
39629Could you let me have two stamps?
39629Cranston,exclaimed Katie,"is there any one here from Cranston?
39629Did Uncle Jim and Aunt Caroline know?
39629Did n''t I give you our banker''s?
39629Did some one speak of summer?
39629Did they hurt you?
39629Did you advertise it?
39629Did you find many bargains?
39629Did you see where the papal dominions end and Italy begins?
39629Do n''t I come in for an introduction, too?
39629Do the Neapolitans get their love of noise from all those ancestors you were talking about, Uncle Jim?
39629Do you know him, Uncle Jim?
39629Do you know the name of the African pillar?
39629Do you know them?
39629Do you think I would do what is not right? 39629 Does he think I offer too little, or does he dislike me so much that he wo n''t take my money?"
39629Does n''t it seem as if those old doges were pretty conceited,said Irma,"to have themselves painted in sacred pictures with the Madonna and Christ?"
39629Had he the right to sell it?
39629Has any one ever counted the bridges in Venice?
39629Has n''t Marion been here?
39629He is in your party? 39629 He''s very grumpy, is n''t he?"
39629Here on the Campo? 39629 How could I without your address?"
39629How large are they?
39629How much is that?
39629How would this suit?
39629In good time for what?
39629In what way?
39629Irma,said Marion, in an undertone, for evidently he, too, had seen Katie,"has Katie said anything to you about Nap lately?"
39629Is Conradin one of your heroes, too?
39629Is it fair,asked Irma timidly,"to beat them down?"
39629Is it possible that he''s going to ride?
39629Is it ruined?
39629Is it what you expected?
39629Is n''t Puteoli the place where St. Paul landed?
39629Is n''t it great that we should be here together?
39629Is n''t it the most wonderful thing you ever saw?
39629Is n''t it very valuable?
39629Is n''t that Marion Horton?
39629Is that the truth or a legend?
39629Is there any other thing that falls below your expectations?
39629It is an interesting story; and is it perfectly true?
39629Must we land again in tenders?
39629No? 39629 Oh, but would the police allow it?"
39629Oh, do n''t we need English stamps?
39629One what?
39629Ought we to go in before Marion arrives?
39629Paestum-- what is Paestum?
39629San-- what?
39629Tell me now,said Aunt Caroline, from the depths of her chair,"was going ashore really worth while?"
39629That is why they went on,thought Irma,"they supposed Marion was with me, and now what_ will_ they think?"
39629That? 39629 The one that was stolen?"
39629Then you do not care for them?
39629Then_ where_ did you get it?
39629There are no bookcases, and why are these pews here?
39629There''s a faint moon, and if so young a thing as that can sit up late, why not we?
39629They_ are_ funny; what in the world are they?
39629To my mother?
39629To whom were you calling?
39629Was there good news in yours, too?
39629Well, how did it end?
39629Well, they might be brigands, might they not? 39629 Well, what do the others say?
39629Well, you must have taken the longest way round; where in the world have you been, Katie?
39629What are we waiting for?
39629What are you doing here?
39629What are your exact sensations, Irma?
39629What can the story be?
39629What did I tell you? 39629 What do they do when it rains?"
39629What do you think of Spain?
39629What is Paestum?
39629What is it?
39629What is it?
39629What is this?
39629What is your idea of a hero?
39629What news?
39629What were the donkey races like?
39629What''s Gibraltar?
39629What''s your hurry?
39629Where are we going?
39629Where did you get those roses?
39629Where do the working people live who cultivate these great farms?
39629Where do they get it?
39629Where do you suppose we have been?
39629Where is Katie?
39629Where is Marion?
39629Where is Marion?
39629Where is Marion?
39629Where''s Irma?
39629Which is which?
39629Who are in sight?
39629Who are they?
39629Who knows? 39629 Why have n''t you written in all these weeks?"
39629Why in the world should any one wish to live on the top of a hill?
39629Why is the carriage ahead waiting for us?
39629Why is the driver so anxious to have us go inside? 39629 Why not?"
39629Why should n''t he be in Europe?
39629Why should you try to?
39629Why so quiet, god- daughter?
39629Why, yes; do you know him?
39629Why,she wondered,"did I take this particular morning to oversleep?"
39629Why?
39629Will you have your tea now?
39629Will you not take one of my stamps?
39629Yet the Venetians did n''t like him to have too great power?
39629You have a good enough general impression,replied Richard, with a laugh;"and what more can any one expect, on a first visit?"
39629You might have saved some for me,snapped Marion;"why should a girl write so many letters?"
39629You remember,continued Gertrude,"how jealous you used to be of Sally?
39629You wo n''t go shopping with me?
39629_ Pozzi?_asked Irma.
39629And is it possible that he goes about with you?
39629And where was Marian?
39629And you will join us?"
39629Are n''t you tired of museums?
39629But now where should she go?
39629But what do you think of it?"
39629But what has become of your uncle?"
39629But what''s this?"
39629But who is that odd- looking saint on the other column, standing on a crocodile?"
39629But why did you think Marion a girl?"
39629By the way, Irma, are these for show or use?
39629CHAPTER III TOWARD THE CONTINENT"Are n''t you tired of hearing people wonder when we shall arrive at Gibraltar?"
39629Ca n''t you imagine the venturesome Lombards creeping up the ravine, only to be held back by the storm of arrows?"
39629Could it be that Aunt Caroline and Uncle Jim knew nothing of Marion''s doings?
39629Could it be that she and Marion had had some disagreement?
39629Could that be the huge bulk of Gibraltar, seen through a mist?
39629Did Marion speak with embarrassment, or did Irma imagine this because she had heard of his going to the steerage for lessons?
39629Did you, Marion?"
39629Do you realize that in three days you will be sailing away from Italy?"
39629Evidently he had in some way offended her; but how?
39629Had Richard been teasing her?
39629Have n''t you found that out, Irma?"
39629How could she have introduced the old gentleman, when she did not know his name?
39629I did n''t refer to our nephew?"
39629I was wishing I might have a picture taken here to send home, but----""You were n''t afraid to ask me?"
39629I''m sure I know one of those girls, and, by the way, would n''t you prefer the New York Aquarium?"
39629Is n''t it funny he never told you?"
39629Is n''t it great?"
39629Is n''t it much better for a girl of my age to enjoy this lovely view?
39629Is n''t it picturesque?
39629Is n''t twelve striking now?"
39629It was the voice of the old gentleman, but how had he learned that she sometimes called him the"fairy godfather?"
39629Ought she to waken Aunt Caroline?
39629Sanford?"
39629She''s still in Europe, is n''t she?"
39629Suppose even that he had loaned it to her, why should her cousin concern himself about it?
39629Then in a sudden spirit of mischief:"Katie,"cried Richard,"did Marion give you that arrangement for your scarf?
39629Then----""Well, what then?"
39629There, there, does n''t that please you?"
39629Was she annoyed that she had not been asked to join Marion''s particular group of three?
39629We may, may we not, Mademoiselle Potin?
39629Were n''t they something like our presidents, simply elected to be the executive officer of the state?"
39629What do you call volcanoes, Irma?"
39629What had happened?
39629What had wakened her?
39629What has the guide been saying to you?"
39629What is Paestum?"
39629What is there, Marion?
39629Where are the cities?"
39629Who could he be?
39629Who knows what wonderful things may yet be found, though it may take more than fifty years to finish the work?
39629Why are you so anxious to see land?"
39629Why, indeed, had she ever left home?
39629Will_ you_ go?"
39629Would you have known what that meant?
39629You came out the San Lorenzo gate to- day?"
39629You, Marion, for example?"
39629Your uncle and aunt have taken mother driving, and so what shall we do?"
39629asked Ellen;"why should he need a special reason?"
39629she exclaimed, when they had entered the vast hall,"but where are the books?"
39629thought Irma,"and why did Uncle Jim and Aunt Caroline turn about so quickly?"
39629whispered Uncle Jim, mischievously,"on touching your foot to the soil of Europe?

7373How then would you write such a book if you had the writing of it?
7373How''German''?
7373I approached a priest and said to him:_''Pater, quando vel a quella hora e la prossimma Missa?
7373I caught him up, and, doubting much whether he would understand a word, I said to him repeatedly--_''La granda via?
7373I know that; but what am I to do?
7373I put my head in at the door and said--''Am I in Switzerland?''
7373I said''_ Molinar_?''''
7373I said,''Have you any beans?''
7373I should very much like to know what those who have an answer to everything can say about the food requisite to breakfast?
7373I spoke to the woman, and pointing at the tin cans, said--''Is this what you call open wine?''
7373I thought you said you were not going to talk economics?
7373I wonder what the people are paid for it?
7373II san Gottardo?
7373If it did, I think there is a little question on''why should habit turn sacred?''
7373In the name of all decent, common, and homely things, why not begin and have done with it?
7373Indeed?
7373Is it not art?
7373Is it not much wiser to arrest such a man?
7373Is this algebra?
7373It is worth eight''scutcheons the hectolitre, that is, eight sols the litre; what do I say?
7373It is years ago now... Michael, what are those little things swarming up and down all over it?''
7373Just as I neared them, hobbling, I met a man driving two cows, and said to him the word,''Guest- house?''
7373La via a Piacenza?
7373May he not cut off it, as his due, twenty- five miserable little miles in the train?''
7373Non se vede che non parlar vestra lingua?
7373Now, why did he say this and grin happily like a gargoyle appeased?
7373Only dots and dashes and asterisks and interrogations?
7373Pray are we to have any more of that fine writing?
7373Pray, sir, will you not look at other maps for a moment?''
7373Shall I detail all that afternoon?
7373Shall a man march through Europe dragging an artist on a cord?
7373Shall an artist write a book?
7373She was moreover not exactly of- what shall I say?
7373So I, very narrowly watching him out of half- closed eyes, held up my five fingers interrogatively, and said,_''Cinquante?
7373So you think one can say a plain thing in a plain way?
7373Tell me at least one thing; did you see the Coliseum?
7373Tell me, Lector, had this man any adventures?
7373Tell me, do you believe in the peak of the Matterhorn, and have you doubts on the points of needles?
7373Tell me, why is not every place ten miles out of a Roman town called by such a name?
7373The woman as sulkily said to me, not looking me in the eyes--''How much will you pay?''
7373Then I added,''Can you make omelettes?''
7373Then I gave a lira to the molinar, and to his companion on stilts 50 c., who said,''What is this for?''
7373Then I said to the molinar,_''Quanta?
7373Then I said,_''Soixante Dix?
7373Then I thought,''Shall I take a favour from such a man?''
7373Then tell me, how would you treat of common things?
7373Then the soldiers began calling out to him singly,''Where are you off to, Father, with that battery?''
7373Then they say to me, what about the concentration of the means of production?
7373Then they talked a great deal together, while I shouted,_''Quid vis?
7373Then what emotions have you had, unimprisonable rich; or what do you know of active living and of adventure?
7373Then you will say, if I felt all this, why do I draw it, and put it in my book, seeing that my drawings are only for fun?
7373Then, to make conversation, I said,_''Diaconus es?
7373This comfort I ascribe to four causes( just above you will find it written that I could not tell why this should be so, but what of that?
7373Thus he told me the name for a knife was_ cultello;_ for a room,_ camera par domire;_ for''what is it called?''
7373Thus she would say:''Perhaps the joint would taste better if it were carved on the table; or do the gentlemen prefer it carved aside?''
7373To the man who had brought me I gave 50 c., and so innocent and good are these people that he said_''Pourquoi?
7373To what emotion shall I compare this astonishment?
7373Tu ris?
7373Vis ne me assassinare?
7373Visne mi dare traductionem in istam linguam Toscanam non nullorum verborum?
7373Was it in so small a space that all the legends of one''s childhood were acted?
7373Was the defence of the bridge against so neighbouring and petty an alliance?
7373Well, it was a short play and modern, was it not?
7373What I want to know is, why a duchess?
7373What about him?
7373What about that great work on The National Debt?
7373What about that little lyric on Winchelsea that you thought of writing six years ago?
7373What about the Brigand of Radicofani of whom you spoke in Lorraine, and of whom I am waiting to hear?
7373What could prevent me?
7373What did I at Lodi Vecchio?
7373What did the old sailor say to the young fool?
7373What do you think, then, was the consequence?
7373What do you turn out, you higglers and sticklers?
7373What else is Venice?
7373What is all this?
7373What is it, do you think, that causes the return?
7373What is ninety miles?
7373What is that in a Book?
7373What is that in the mind which, after( it may be) a slight disappointment or a petty accident, causes it to suffer on the scale of grave things?
7373What is the Grand Climacteric?
7373What is the meaning of that?''
7373What rhodomontade and pedantry is this talk about the shape of a window?
7373What road could it be?
7373What was it I saw?
7373What will you do for fame?
7373Where are they?
7373Where could such a road lead, and why did it follow right along the highest edge of the mountains?
7373Where had I come from?
7373Where( if I was honest) had I intended to sleep?
7373Who began it?
7373Who but Germans would so feel the mystery of the hills, and so fit their town to the mountains?
7373Who but Germans would so preserve-- would so rebuild the past?
7373Who can not live on four francs a day?
7373Who does not need for either of these perfect things Recollection, a variety of according conditions, and a certain easy Plenitude of the Mind?
7373Who else can give benedictions if people can not when they are on pilgrimage?
7373Who knows?
7373Who would change( says Aristippus of Pslinthon) the moon and all the stars for so much wine as can be held in the cup of a bottle upturned?
7373Why are the few lines still in your head and not on paper?
7373Why could it not be crossed?
7373Why do you use phrases like_''possible exception''?_ AUCTOR.
7373Why not?
7373Why on earth did you write this book?
7373Why should I?
7373Why should the less gracious part of a pilgrimage be specially remembered?
7373Why was I there?
7373Why was the guardian a duchess?
7373Why your benediction?
7373Why, what was the next point in the pilgrimage that was even tolerably noteworthy?
7373Why?
7373Why?
7373Why?
7373Why?
7373You follow?
7373You think that, do you?
7373You would simply say what you had to say?
7373_''come si chiama?
7373_''quella e la via a...?
7373_( For who but critics could complain Of''riding''in a railway train?)
7373and''Why carry cold water to Commercy?
7373eh?
7373my jolly Lector?
7373or was he naturally kindly?
7373said the Padre Eterno, a little puzzled...''The Earth?
7373sneered the Devil,''are you an anti- vaccinationist as well?
7373without a ghost of an idea what you are talking about, do you know what is meant by the god?
37206A what?
37206And is Mandas nice?
37206And they understand Italian?
37206And what good would it be to you if she were?
37206Are you husband and wife?
37206Bread alone?
37206But could you live here?
37206Can you understand Sardinian?
37206Did you think we had been going ever since you got in?
37206Did you want something? 37206 Do they make those in Sorgono?"
37206Do you speak English?
37206Do you understand Sardinian?
37206Does it do you good?
37206Eh-- what''s that?
37206Elle a le mal de mer?
37206First and second class alike?
37206How much do you charge for the fleas you carry?
37206How not? 37206 How should n''t she?"
37206How should n''t they?
37206How--_affari_?
37206How? 37206 How?
37206In what way nice?
37206Is it a dialect? 37206 Is n''t the sea a little quieter?"
37206Is there a room, Signora?
37206Is there anything to see?
37206Is this the Nuoro bus?
37206No, Signora-- how should it be?
37206Oh,she cried,"are we going?"
37206Oh-- where can we get some then?
37206One is all right here, eh?
37206Signora,he said,"do you understand me what I say?"
37206The Signora is n''t eating?
37206Then you are very bored here?
37206There is nothing else?
37206Vous avez pris le cafà ©?
37206Vous descendez en terre?
37206Well then, what other hotel?
37206What do you sell?
37206What do you_ sell_?
37206What does one do here?
37206What goods?
37206What language is it then?
37206What will you do on such a boat if you have an awful time out in the Mediterranean here? 37206 Where are they from?"
37206Where do we eat? 37206 Where do you find such white bread?"
37206Where is the Albergo d''Italia?
37206Who is going?
37206Who were those in there?
37206Why do you bother?
37206Why, is this the only place you''ve got to sit in?
37206Why,say I, lapsing into the Italian rhetorical manner,"why do you keep an inn?
37206Why?
37206Why?
37206Why?
37206Wo n''t you leave any tip at all?
37206You are eating the kid? 37206 You are sleeping upstairs?"
37206You think not? 37206 You would like to be in Cagliari?"
37206You''ve seen Cagliari?
37206_ Che genere di affari?_ What sort of business?
37206_ Che genere di affari?_ What sort of business?
37206***** Where does one go?
37206A fiasco of vino?
37206Africa?
37206After all, what is an hour and a half?
37206Again the young woman called, had we had coffee?
37206Ah Naples-- bella, bella, eh?
37206Am I always to have the exchange flung in my teeth, as if I were a personal thief?
37206And also in Italian:"Partiamo?"
37206And are there many motor- cars in England?--many, many?
37206And are we ready?
37206And as for motor- cars, it is all I can do to own a pair of boots, so how am I to set about employing a_ chauffeur_?
37206And run the gauntlet of that stinking, stinking lane?
37206And was n''t it difficult to put the kid thus on the iron rod?
37206And what does she do?
37206And what nation were we, were we French?
37206And what was it?
37206Are all nations of Europe going to be forbidden?
37206Are they ready?
37206Are you suffering?"
37206As I enter I hear one young man tenderly enquiring of the berth below:"Dost thou feel ill?"
37206Because why?
37206But I said loudly to the urchin:"Is_ that_ the telegraph official?"
37206But in Sardinia, where roads and bridges are absolutely wanting, will they do anything?
37206But is mere historical fact so strong, that what one learns in bits from books can move one so?
37206But must you?
37206But now where is that little hole where one gets the tickets?
37206But seeing I was laughing without malice, he leaned to me and said softly, secretly:"What is your affair then?
37206But there is little to see and therefore the question is, shall we go on?
37206But what do you want?
37206But what should women and girls be doing at the marionette show?
37206But what?
37206But who was he?
37206But why in the name of heaven should my heart stand still as I watch that hill which rises above the sea?
37206But_ can_ I care for the innumerable_ fantasias_ in the drapery line?
37206Could I have milk?
37206Could one go on board at once?
37206Deutsch, eh?
37206Deutschland unter alles now?
37206Did n''t I tell thee I would count three?
37206Did n''t we like it?
37206Did n''t we start before?"
37206Did the delicate and fine complication of lines against her eyes mean thirty- five?
37206Did they do all their meat this way?
37206Do they want men in America?
37206Et vous?"
37206Everything?
37206For why?
37206Girgenti, and the sulphur spirit and the Greek guarding temples, to make one madder?
37206Had the milk come?
37206Had we any more luggage-- were we going to the steamer?
37206Had_ she_ paid for the train-- heh?
37206Has not this song been sung at me once too often, by these people?
37206Have you something to say?
37206Hearing me speak to the q- b, he said in confidence to the priest:"Here are two Germans-- eh?
37206Her ticket?
37206Here, say I, they make it with nothing.--Is there milk?
37206How far?
37206How many men, how many races, has Etna put to flight?
37206How much does it cost?
37206How will she be ruined?"
37206I asked how one went to the steamer-- did one walk?
37206I say what for?
37206I wanted to count their sails-- five square ones which I call the ladder, one above the other-- but how many wing- blades?
37206In America too?
37206In a very short time they were through their portions: and was there nothing else?
37206Is n''t that so?
37206Is our marvellous, mechanical era going to have so short a bloom?
37206Is there another room?"
37206Is there coffee?
37206Is there something that amuses you?
37206It all has an air of"Why not?"
37206Looks down as if to say, What do you mean by it?
37206Methylated spirit, a small aluminium saucepan, a spirit- lamp, two spoons, two forks, a knife, two aluminium plates, salt, sugar, tea-- what else?
37206Naples, Rome, Florence?
37206No milk at all?
37206No more-- what?
37206No passports?
37206Not for long?
37206Nothing else, you sludge queen?
37206Now I ask you, is this to be borne?
37206Oh my, will you go in such a little thing?
37206Oh no-- will you risk it, really?
37206Oh, my girovago was a known figure all over the country.--And where would they sleep?
37206Only then?
37206Or does the very word call an echo out of the dark blood?
37206Or is the tide of enlightenment and world- unity already receding fast enough?
37206Say then-- what does it mean?
37206Shall we go forward?
37206She got up wrathfully and stumbled into the dark passage, exclaiming--"Don''t we eat yet?"
37206She shouts at me as I pass, in her powerful, extraordinary French:"Madame votre femme, elle est au lit?"
37206She was not more than twenty years old I should say: or was she?
37206Should we sit on in our present carriage, and go down in it to the port, along with the schoolmistress, and risk it?
37206Somebody asks_ who_?
37206Strange, is n''t it?
37206The bus has stopped quite close to the door of the inn: Star of Italy, was it?
37206The dark- browed man looked up at the girovago and said:"Are you going to cook the sausages with your fingers?"
37206The lark flew at him and said"Then you''ve changed it, have you?"
37206The q- b said no, why?
37206The three giggling young hussies shrink together as if they would all hide behind one another, after a vain uprearing and a demand why?
37206The workman''s International, or the centripetal movement into national isolation?
37206Then she appeared with a bowl of smoking cabbage soup, in which were bits of macaroni: and would we have wine?
37206Then where is tea?
37206They addressed the sludge- queen curtly and disrespectfully, as if to say:"What''s she up to?"
37206They seize the black- edged one by the arm, and in profound commiseration:"Do you suffer?
37206They thought themselves no less-- and what are they?
37206Thirty two hours in such a little boat?
37206To travel with the stomach uneasy did one harm:_ fa male, fa male-- non è vero?_ Chorus of"yes."
37206Tunis?
37206Was he a Paladin and a splendour?
37206Was there a bedroom?
37206Was there a fire?
37206Was there any cheese?
37206Was there anything to eat?
37206Was there cheese?
37206Was there no room?
37206Was there nowhere where we could sit?
37206We helped ourselves, and the fat carabiniere started the conversation with the usual questions-- and where were we going tomorrow?
37206We see the hill?
37206Well, how nice to see you.--Oh, let the man wait.--What, going on at once to Naples?
37206Well, what were we to do?
37206Were they, said I, a sort of camorra?
37206Were we English?
37206Were we depending on booking berths at the port of Naples?
37206Were we not going to see any more?
37206What affair is it, yours?"
37206What are the allies for?
37206What did one pay for bread in Germany?
37206What did the old woman want to take her trips down the line for?
37206What do you say?"
37206What does he want then?
37206What does it mean, that this is an inn?
37206What does it mean, your Ristorante Risveglio, written so large?"
37206What does one care for precept and mental dictation?
37206What does one care?
37206What else was there to eat?
37206What else was there to eat?
37206What else was there?
37206What good was that?
37206What is the exchange today?
37206What is your dialect?"
37206What makes you say so?
37206What sort of pictures?
37206What was there to eat?--and was it nearly ready?
37206What, say, what does it mean?
37206What?
37206What?"
37206Wheesky-- eh?
37206When are we going to London?
37206When, oh when shall we come to Siniscola, where we are due to eat our midday meal?
37206When?
37206Where are you going?"
37206Where did the bus go?
37206Where had we come from, where were we going, what for?
37206Where is his home?
37206Where then?
37206Where then?
37206Where was the oven?
37206Where were we going and where had we been and where did we live?
37206Where''s the q- b?
37206Whereupon the new fat neighbour asked him was it true that the Catholic Church was now becoming the one Church in the United States?
37206Which motion will conquer?
37206Who would have expected it?
37206Why are you here?
37206Why be angry?
37206Why be angry?
37206Why bother about privacy?
37206Why ca n''t one sit still?
37206Why come to anchor?
37206Why do n''t I come on Friday?
37206Why do n''t we get them?
37206Why do n''t you take it as it comes?
37206Why do they look so intense?
37206Why do you have the impudence to take in travellers?
37206Why look out?
37206Why not stay?
37206Why not?
37206Why should they?
37206Why take it morally?
37206Why were these folk at the town- end making this fire alone?
37206Why, then, must one go?
37206Why?
37206Why?
37206Why?
37206Why?
37206Why?
37206Why?
37206Why?
37206Will the last waves of enlightenment and world- unity break over them and wash away the stocking- caps?
37206Will you drink Wheesky, Mister?"
37206Will you really go?
37206With all the money, and we others with no money?
37206Wo n''t you go from Cività   Vecchia?"
37206You are eating at the inn?"
37206You ask why?
37206You mean Ireland?"
37206You must laugh, must you?
37206You see that cape?"
37206You think so?
37206You''re sure you have everything you want?
37206_ Non è vero?_ this to all the men from Siniscola.
37206then you ca n''t go?
28294And it carried off the eggs too, I suppose?
28294Are you aware of anything he ever did?
28294Art thou, too, fallen, Iberia? 28294 But,"I rejoined,"have you no idea of their number?"
28294Can you tell me,I asked,"who made the world?"
28294Did you ever,whispered my Russian friend,"see such a people?"
28294Do other boys and girls, your acquaintances, go to confession?
28294Do you go to church?
28294Do you go to confession?
28294Do you take the sacrament?
28294Do_ you_ not believe in them?
28294Does the priest ask you about anything else?
28294For what?
28294Has it wrought any of late?
28294Have you any coffee?
28294Have you beef?--Have you cheese?--Have you macaroni?
28294Have you ever heard of Christ?
28294Have you,said the official,"any more?"
28294How are we,abruptly asked the preacher,"to become the sons of God?"
28294How can you avoid confessing?
28294If you confess it a second time, what happens?
28294In what quarter of Rome did she live?
28294Is this Italy?
28294Then, why do n''t you?
28294Was Christ ever on earth?
28294Was Mary ever on earth?
28294Was there,asked Mr Whiteside of a sculptor in Rome,"really affecting yourself, any practical oppression under old Gregory?"
28294Well, when you go to confess, what does the priest ask you?
28294What did she do when here?
28294What does he ask you about them?
28294What does she say?
28294What is that to me?
28294What is the matter?
28294What o''clock is it?
28294What of the night?
28294What shall I have for doing so?
28294When will it be ready for the transport of the cannon?
28294When you confess that you have done a bad action, what then?
28294Where are its temples, its palaces, its vineyards?
28294Where is Christ?
28294Where is she?
28294Where,you exclaim,"are its highways?"
28294Who is he? 28294 Who is she?"
28294Whose Son is he?
28294Again we ask, why is this?
28294Again we say, Where are your subjects, Pio Nono?
28294An hundred thousand?
28294And after this, what can he look for among the ordinary worshippers?
28294And even when he honestly wishes to serve him, what can he do?
28294And how can it be otherwise, when the Church, for reasons best known to itself, denies the people the use of the indispensable instruments?
28294And how can it be otherwise?
28294And how happens it, too, that the Pope is infallible in only one science,--even the theological?
28294And how was this temple built?
28294And to what?
28294And was time to close upon a world shrouded in darkness, with nought but this feeble beacon burning amid the Alps?
28294And what becomes of the families of these unhappy men?
28294And what did they depose?
28294And what is canon law?
28294And what is that work?
28294And what is the aspect of the country?
28294And what the appearance and apparent profession of these men?
28294And what will our country then become?
28294And who are they who tenant these places?
28294And who is he?
28294And why is it so?
28294And why were they brought out of their house of bondage?
28294And why were they there?
28294And why, even to this hour, has it not told us all, but reserved some very important questions for future decision, or revelation rather?
28294And why?
28294And why?
28294As the night grew late, the inquiries became more frequent,"Are we not yet at Rome?"
28294Before decreeing worship to one, would it not be better to let his contemporaries pass from the stage of time?
28294Beneath the dark shadow of the Vatican do they ever think of the sunny and vine- clad hills of their Palestine?
28294But farther, what is the principle of the mass?
28294But how comes this?
28294But how shall I describe or group the horrors that have darkened and desolated the Papal States from that hour to this?
28294But how stands the fact?
28294But of what subjects do these catechisms treat?
28294But should we fall from that happy state, how are we to recover it?
28294But this solitary pillar, which stands erect where so many temples have fallen, with what message is it freighted?
28294But what could they do?
28294But what is the fact?
28294But what sort of farming are we to expect from such corporations as we find in the city of Rome?
28294But where are you to look for justice,--justice in its unmixed, eternal purity,--if not at Rome?
28294But where is the Rome of the Cæsars, that great, imperial, and invincible city, that during thirteen centuries ruled the world?
28294But where was the key that could open that breast, and read the secrets locked up in it?
28294But who is to make them?
28294But why is this?
28294But, pray tell me, why do you permit the cardinals or the Pope ever to die, when the Bambino can cure them?"
28294By the way, why should the profession of astrology and the cognate arts be permitted to only one class of men?
28294Can Infallibility not walk alone, that it uses crutches?
28294Can an infallible man not know truth from error till first he has collected the votes of fallible bishops?
28294Can any sane man doubt that paganism once reigned here?
28294Can he enclose within a little silver box that Almighty One whom the heaven, even the heaven of heavens, can not contain?
28294Can the spirit, I asked myself, ever forget its earthly struggles, or the scene on which they were endured?
28294Can you tell me anything about him?"
28294Condemned to what?
28294Could I, when far away,--in the seclusion of my own library, for instance,--bid the Alps rise before me, in stupendous magnificence, as now?
28294Dare not till the earth God has given you?"
28294Did he hasten to the prison, and beg his prisoner to come forth?
28294Did it not come out of the foul box of Tetzel the indulgence- monger?
28294Did no monk ever think of putting a stained window in the east, and compelling the sun to ogle the world through spectacles?
28294Did not the Marshal Nouilles order a war against bankers?
28294Did not the law of the suspected compel Protestants to nourish soldiers in their houses, as a punishment for refusing to go to mass?
28294Did the ages seem long to him, or was it but as a few days since he left the earth?
28294Did the heart of Gregory relent?
28294Did you don the mail- coat of the warrior, or the white robe of the priest?
28294Did you ever, reader, set foot in a_ diligence_?
28294Do they not still love us?
28294Do they not still think of us?
28294Do we see The robber and the murderer weak as we?
28294During all this time, what way has been made by the Catholic nations?
28294Had he been shot, or what had happened?
28294Had he not often climbed this Capitol?
28294Had not his feet pressed, times without number, this lava- paved road through the Forum?
28294Has he marked that tall thin man who has just passed him,"Walking in beauty like the night?"
28294Has he political papers?"
28294Has its natural canal, the Po, dried up?
28294Has the Creator set limits to the life of kingdoms, as to that of man?
28294Have we considered the infinite degradation of defeat?
28294Have we forgotten the famous declaration of Wiseman, that his grand end in the papal aggression was to introduce canon law?
28294Her great Founder demanded that she should be tried by her fruits; and why should Rome be unwilling to submit to this test?
28294How came these tombstones there, if early Christianity and the early martyrs be a fable?
28294How can a worship in which no one ever joins edify any one?
28294How can it be otherwise?
28294How do they conduct that process at Rome?
28294How is this?
28294How many iron- workmen are there in the Papal States?
28294How much is that?
28294How was I to carry in my pocket such a cage of imps?
28294How was I to sleep at night in their company?
28294How, then, can He be regarded with confidence or love?
28294I looked at the little man in the box, to see how he was taking it; but he was true to his own remark,"What is that to me?"
28294I might have puzzled the boy by asking,"But who made the masons?"
28294I passed three Sabbaths in Rome; I worshipped each Sabbath in the English Protestant chapel; and what did I see at the door of that chapel?
28294I walked under it,--walked round it,--viewed it on all sides; but why should I describe what the engraver''s art has made so familiar all over Europe?
28294I wondered whether that coast had looked as unkindly to Æneas, when first he cast anchor on it after long ploughing the deep?
28294If so, what mean these dungeons?
28294If the Pope believes in his own relics, what conceptions must he have of Peter?
28294If there was no purgatory, how could the painters of an infallible Church ever have given so exact a representation of it?
28294Is Christ''s Vicar a model to all governors?
28294Is he not a priest, and is not Rome his own?
28294Is he not the same man?
28294Is it for the past you mourn?"
28294Is it its noble monuments,--its fine palaces,--its august temples?
28294Is it not strange, then, to confine with bolt and bar beings who intend anything but escape?
28294Is it not that Christ is again offered in sacrifice, and that the pain he endures in being so propitiates God in your behalf?
28294Is it so?
28294Is it the Jesuits?
28294Is it the Pope?
28294Is it the cardinals?
28294Is it when the decree has been voted by the Council that it becomes infallible?
28294Is its soil less fertile?
28294Is not the Papal Government manifestly sacrificing its own interests?
28294Is not, then, the area of Europe that is covered with masses"_ the place where our Lord was crucified_?"
28294Is that the account which we have of his ministry?
28294Is there, then, no immortality in reserve for nations?
28294Is this the man that did make the earth to tremble,--that did shake kingdoms,--that made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof?"
28294Is this the"three- score- and- ten"of nations, beyond which they can not pass?
28294Let any minister or missionary attempt to do so now, and what would be his fate?
28294May not the same principle be applicable, in some extent, to our passage from earth into the world beyond?
28294Must they continue to die?
28294Nay, what is a nation''s duration, when weighed against thine?
28294Now, why is this?
28294Once was he chased from Rome; and now that he is returned, can he call Rome his own?
28294One can hardly see it without asking,"What ails thee?
28294One thousand?
28294Or do ye descry from afar the coming of a better era?
28294Or had the Church completed her triumphs, and finished her course?
28294Or is it when it is confirmed by the Pope that it becomes infallible?
28294Repents, does she?
28294Shall God, indeed, the fowls and manna strew,-- My daily bread?
28294She has grown pitiful, and tender hearted, has she?
28294Should they take it into their head to creep out of my book, and buzz round my bed, would it not give me unpleasant dreams?
28294Take the same Rome six months after his return, and how many do you find in it?
28294Taking advantage of the greater timidity of the female mind, it has become a leading question with the confessor,"Does your husband read the Bible?
28294The Church will stand, doubtless, because they tell us she is founded on a rock; but what will become of the State?
28294The French Prefect, Mr Whiteside tells us, published a statistical account of Rome; and how many paupers does he say there are in it?
28294The beads have been counted, and an Ave Maria said with each; and what more does the Church require?
28294The case being so, where, I ask, are you entitled to look for justice, if not at Rome?
28294The first floor is occupied as a granary; the second floor is occupied as a granary; the third floor,--how is it occupied,--the attic story?
28294The first question that arises is, in what light do the priests in Italy regard their own system?
28294Then, why should affluence, and the other accessories of power, have so uniformly a corrupting and dissolving effect upon society?
28294To what region has she gone where barbarism and vice have not disappeared?
28294To whom did she make her appeal?
28294Violators of the law,--brigands, murderers?
28294Was it then a reality, and not a dream?
28294Was not the law of requisition for the public roads practised to prepare the roads for Queen Marie Leczinska?
28294Was not the law of the maximum, which regulated prices, practised by the regency?
28294Was the Argus of the Vatican asleep when this wolf broke into the fold?
28294Were its cities filled with looms and forges, would not its people have more money to spend on masses and absolutions?
28294Were my reader living in London or in Edinburgh, and wished to visit Chelsea or Portobello, how would he proceed?
28294Were not the commissions called revolutionary tribunals first used against the Protestants?
28294Were not the fusilades first used at the bidding of the priests to crush heresy?
28294Were not the houses burned down of those who frequented Protestant preaching?
28294Were not the properties of the Protestant emigrants confiscated?
28294Were the priests afraid that, if withdrawn for a moment from the influence of their eye, a wail of woe would burst forth from these poor creatures?
28294What are embattled cities and aisled cathedrals to the eternal hills, with their thunder- clouds, and their rising and setting suns?
28294What can they do but beg?
28294What do you see throughout the successive ages?
28294What do you see?
28294What enterprise or interest have a sisterhood of nuns to farm their property?
28294What gulf divides them?
28294What had he seen and felt these four thousand years?
28294What has become of them?
28294What is it that strikes you on first entering the"Holy City?"
28294What is it which has produced this universal slavery?
28294What is it, I repeat, that holds the whole body in subjection, from the Pope down to the friar?
28294What is the Government of the Papal States, but just the Government of the Inquisition?
28294What is to be done with the carcase?
28294What matters it that the Adriatic is no longer the highway of the world''s merchandise, and that India is now closed to Venice?
28294What matters it that, in rooting out British Protestantism, she should shed oceans of blood, and sound the death- knell of a whole nation?
28294What skill or capital have a brotherhood of lazy monks, to enable them to cultivate their lands?
28294What stronger condemnation of their system could they pronounce?
28294What though the Pope reigns over a wasted land and a nation of beggars?
28294What was I to do?
28294What would our country be without its iron,--without its railroads, its steam- ships, its steam- looms, its cutlery, its domestic utensils?
28294When Christianity entered Rome in the person of the Apostle Paul, did the tyrant of the Palatine strike her dumb?
28294When Pio Nono fled from Rome to Gaeta, what was the amount of its population?
28294When did Christ build dungeons, or gather_ sbirri_ about him, or send men to the galleys and the scaffold?
28294When did they come into being, and of what stock are they sprung?
28294When men can be awed neither by painted fiends nor real cannon, what is to awe them?
28294Where are your subjects, Pio Nono?
28294Where have they gone to?
28294Whether, said I to myself, does Italy owe most to its rivers or to its Governments?
28294Who can tell how much the firmness and perseverance of the more prominent actors in these struggles were owing to her wise and affectionate counsels?
28294Who converted Italy into a barbarian and a slave?
28294Who has not heard of the Pra de la Torre, in the valley of Angrona?
28294Who is he, and what does he there?
28294Who kindled that solitary lamp?
28294Who through the deep, and o''er the desert plain Will aid and cheer me, and the path will show?
28294Who, what, and where is he?
28294Why did it not give that creed to the Church in the first century which it kept back till the sixteenth?
28294Why did it permit so many men, in all preceding ages, to live in ignorance of so many things in which it could so easily have enlightened them?
28294Why did it permit so many questions to be debated, which it could so easily have settled?
28294Why did the Papists divide_ territorially_ the country?
28294Why did they assume_ territorial_ titles?
28294Why do ye not, ye glorious mountains, put on sackcloth, and mourn with the mourning nations beneath you?
28294Why does it deal out truth piecemeal,--one dogma in this century, another in the next, and so on?
28294Why does it not tell us all at once?
28294Why erect new houses, when those already built will last their time and the world''s?
28294Why is it that all persons and systems in this world of ours must die in order to enter into life?
28294Why is it that all the functions of nature are beneficent?
28294Why is this?
28294Why is this?
28294Why make provision for posterity, when there is to be none?
28294Why preach liberty to men in chains?
28294Why should Infallibility seek help, which it can not in the nature of things need?
28294Why should the Pope need assessors and advisers?
28294Why should they incur the toil of labouring or thinking in a world that is soon to pass away, and which is as good as ended already?
28294Why these trials shrouded in secrecy?
28294Why this clanking of chains, and that cry which has gone up to heaven, and which pleads for justice there?
28294Why, then, is iron not imported into that country?
28294Why, then, was it not till the sixteenth century that Infallibility gave anything like a fixed and complete creed to the Church?
28294Why?
28294Will any Romanist kindly explain this to us?
28294Will his ride convert him into a heretic, or shake his faith in Peter''s successor?
28294Will no kind hand draw the veil aside but for a moment?
28294Will she now adopt half measures?
28294Will she now falter and draw back,--she that never before feared enemy or spared foe?
28294Will the reader accompany me to another and very different scene?
28294Will the reader go back with me to the point where we began our excursion through Rome,--the Flaminian Gate?
28294Will you permit it?
28294Will you tamely sit still till it has put its foot on your neck, and its fetter on your arm?
28294With such evidence before him as Italy furnishes, can any man doubt what the consequence would be of admitting this system into Britain?
28294Would Christianity ever re- appear?
28294Would any one have been at the pains to have done all this, or could he have done it without being detected?
28294Would it not be better for itself were Italy covered with a prosperous agriculture and a flourishing trade?
28294Would not Sodom have been spared had ten righteous men been found in it?
28294Would they softly speak to us if they could?
28294Yet why blame these poor people?
28294You ask, why do these men remain in a Church which they see to be apostate?
28294and dare I to implore Thy pillar and thy cloud to guide me, Lord?
28294and is it not, to say the least, a needless waste of iron, in a country where iron is so very scarce and so very dear?
28294and is the glory that mantles your summits the kindling of an inward joy at the prospect of coming freedom?
28294and is the region over which he bears sway renowned throughout the earth as the most virtuous, the most happy, and the most prosperous region in it?
28294and may not the very same picture of beauty and grandeur now before my eye be imprinted eternally on the memory of many of the blessed in Heaven?
28294and what the fate of any Roman who might dare to visit him?
28294and why do they so pertinaciously cling to these titles?
28294and why not Piedmont, seeing the Waldensian Church was there?
28294can a priest at any hour he pleases give existence to Him who exists from eternity?
28294if such were Lombardy, what meant the Croat beside me, and the black eagle blazoned on the flag, that I saw floating on the Castle of Milan?
28294in darkness, and in the bowels of the earth?
28294might not the same response as of old be made to this disclaimer,"The voice of thy brother''s blood crieth unto me from the ground?"
28294or do they regard it as indeed founded in truth, and clothed with the sanction of heaven?
28294thought I, if this majestic image has so faded in the interval of a few moments, what will it be years after?
28294what glory is this which begins to burn upon the crest of the snowy Alps?
28294who will break my servile chain?
28294worshipping, are they?"
7380A company? 7380 A good- looking fellow like me-- why should I work?
7380Ah, it wants cleaning, does n''t it?
7380Am I an invalid, to drink Fiuggi water?
7380And do you know who planted the trees? 7380 And that little ridge of stone,"says my companion,"--do you see it, jutting into the fields down there?
7380And yet-- would you believe it? 7380 And you expect to keep your children alive if you send them to Cisterna?"
7380Any damage?
7380Anything?
7380Are they elastic?
7380Are those your two reasons?
7380But what is an injunction?
7380But what is an injunction?
7380Ca n''t you guess?
7380Count your ribs? 7380 Dead, is he?
7380Did elephants scramble about these precipices and ravines? 7380 Did you ever give her a kiss?"
7380Did you observe the illumination of the Falls, sir, last night?
7380Do n''t you find the Germans a little prepotenti?
7380Do you know, Sir, that you are in the war- zone-- the zona di difesa?
7380Do you mean to say that elephants paddled across from Algiers in order to be assassinated by your old skeleton? 7380 Do you wonder,"he added,"at my preferring to be with you?"
7380Does that beast of yours eat Christians?
7380Drop your job for the sake of a few days?
7380Elephants?
7380Five o''clock? 7380 Fuyez?"
7380Have you no sweetheart, Attilio?
7380He? 7380 How about all those deserters?"
7380How can one avoid seeing the beastly thing?
7380How can you expect me to remember all that?
7380How many more times do you wish me to make that clear? 7380 In that short time?
7380Is that all? 7380 Nine years-- that old rag?
7380No? 7380 No?
7380Nobody, surely, need be any the wiser?
7380Now, my good fellow,they seem to say,"are you blind?"
7380Open about what?
7380Ought I to be satisfied before I have learnt them?
7380Strawberries?
7380Supposing I stick it out and give satisfaction, shall I be able to interchange later into this department? 7380 The Massarenes"may have faults, but how many of our actual woman- scribes, for all their monkey- tricks of cleverness, could have written it?
7380Then you have thought about it before?
7380There may be?
7380To England?
7380To hurry up? 7380 Tried the War Office?"
7380Well?
7380What do you make of them?
7380What have I been doing?
7380What have we here?
7380What is the matter? 7380 What is there to think about?
7380What of it?
7380What on earth brings you here?
7380What? 7380 Where do you draw it?"
7380Who ever heard of strawberries in Central Italy on the 31 July? 7380 Whom does one bribe?"
7380Why to me? 7380 Why to you?"
7380Why''fuyez''?
7380Why?
7380You sent him into the plains last summer?
7380Your Lucullo, we may take it, was a Roman?
7380( How came this stone here?
7380... Was anything more precious than life?...
7380A child of Niobe?
7380A company, do n''t you see?
7380A good tip on the stock exchange?
7380A mechanic, are n''t you?"
7380A pause...."Not like us?
7380A small pointed beard, an eye- glass?
7380A whim, a freak?
7380About Armenia, I mean, and Poland?"
7380After all, we were allies, were we not?
7380Alatri What brought me to Alatri?
7380All comparisons being odious, I turned the conversation by asking:"And that last one?"
7380An injunction-- what did you say?"
7380And Boecklin?
7380And Frattura, that strange place-- what has happened to Frattura?
7380And did you notice that the room was absolutely packed?
7380And how many women, by the way, would have made a note of the particular quality of those macaroni?
7380And if the moon were made of green cheese, we might all try to get hold of a slice of it, might n''t we?...
7380And is it not the same with England?
7380And the emerald lizard on the lower slopes?
7380And then?"
7380And therefore:"What did you do in the Great War, grandpapa?"
7380And was I not the gentleman who had recently been to Orvinio?
7380And what are they doing, these swarms of parasites?
7380And what happened at Taranto?
7380And what is the dominating trait of this old Scotsman?
7380And what of that jovial red- bearded personage who scorned honest work and yet contrived to dress so well?
7380And when you have them, where''s the difference?
7380And whether legal proceedings of every kind would not tend to diminish?
7380And why has she now flitted here, building herself this aerial bower above the old roofs of Rome?
7380And why not?
7380And why?
7380And why?
7380And would the taxpayer not profit by a reduction in their numbers?
7380And yet-- is it possible?
7380Another pause...."What would your mother say to you?"
7380Anything else?"
7380Are the natives descended from those mysterious Ligurians?
7380Are the thistles of violet and red and blue and gold and silver as gorgeous as ever?
7380Are they suffering?
7380Are you feeling better?
7380Are you satisfied?"
7380Ask him, will you?"
7380At night?
7380At that hour therefore I appear with a shirt or something that requires a button-- would she mind?
7380At this point I wake up, thoroughly exhausted, and say to myself:"Why seek his house?
7380Bad?
7380Besides, how far would one get, with Giulio?
7380But if everybody thought like that, where would the Isonzo line be?"
7380But since you wish to take that step, why choose the Casino which has a reputation to keep up?
7380But supposing the publisher always objects to your choicest paragraphs?"
7380But where shall a man still find those edible maccheroni-- those that were made in the Golden Age out of pre- war- time flour?
7380But, as to substance, he contains too many nebulosities and abstractions for my taste; a veritable mist of them, out of which emerges-- what?
7380By the way, have you tried the War Office?"
7380By the way, what does Baedeker mean by speaking of the"excellent wines"of Scanno, where not a drop is grown?
7380By what alterations?
7380Call again, wo n''t you?"
7380Can a man subscribe to the aspirations of a mob and yet think well of himself?
7380Can he be black and white?
7380Can it be that his son, a scraggy youth in those days, inherited not only the father''s name but his poetic mantle?
7380Can it be the commercial Genoese, the gambling instinct?
7380Can the"River Danube"still be heard flowing underground in the little cave of Saint Martin?
7380Can they be found anywhere else?
7380Can this wholesale change of attitude be brought about without a plot?
7380Could I decipher German manuscripts?
7380Could anything replace his life to him?...
7380Could n''t I manage it?
7380Could she guess who it is?
7380Could this be the place which was famous in Pliny''s day for its grove of beeches?
7380Could you perhaps tell me why Florentines, coming home from abroad, always rejoice to see it rising out of the plain?"
7380Did I know anything about banking?
7380Did I know anything about machinery?
7380Did I like the boiled trout?
7380Did I understand banking?
7380Did Shelley ever walk in like humour along this canal?
7380Did he never say:"You are making a fool of yourself"?
7380Did he never see himself as others saw him?
7380Did he not return home trembling all over and pale as death?...
7380Did he not, one night, have a veritable fight with a legion of them which the wind blew from the graveyard into his face?
7380Did not the curly- haired Giulio end by"stating"something to the same effect?
7380Did the old road from Stabiae Athene temple go round the promontory and continue as far as Ierate along the southern slope of San Costanzo hill?
7380Did we?
7380Did you tell him he might----?"

7380How did they get there?

7380How?
7380Hungry or thirsty?

7380I asked,"What has my country done for me?"
7380I asked:"Supposing, Madame, you desired to end the war, how would you set about it?"
7380I did not tell him to die, did I?"....
7380I happened to have one of the few modern reprints of that stupid and ungainly book: would he accept it?
7380I have been asked what does it matter who makes the discovery?
7380I invite him to sit down and inquire: how about a bottle of Cesanese, now that we are alone?
7380I look at him and ask myself; where have I seen that face before, so classic and sinewy and versatile?
7380I relight my pipe, and then inquire:"Why not give her a kiss?"
7380I suppose you are nearly due?"
7380If I understood banking... why did they want bankers at this institution?
7380If so, would I come to Bertolini''s hotel at once?
7380Imagination-- why not?
7380In how many more countries was I going to be arrested for one crime or another?
7380Instead of that, what do you say to taking a nap?"

7380Is he not dead?"

7380Is the calamity worth risking when time, and time alone, can decide its worth?
7380Is the difference worth the long journey?"

7380Mathew(?
7380Maupassant knew them fairly well, and one thinks of that story of his:--"Le parfum de Monsieur?"
7380Mill, was it?
7380Morally, it might well amount to"tout comprendre, c''est ne rien pardonner"; but who troubles about pardoning or condemning?
7380Nevertheless, while thus discoursing, a man came up to us, a well- dressed man, who politely inquired:"Could you tell me the name of this castello?"

7380Now why do they prefer to jostle each other in the narrow, squalid and stuffy lane lower down?
7380Now, why?
7380Of course, there was nothing doing just then; but one never knows, does one?
7380One in a hundred?
7380One suppresses much; why not add a little?
7380Or did they plague her into it?
7380Or perhaps in the evening... is she more free in the evening?
7380Or this:"Might I beg you, Monsieur, to tread more lightly on the carpet in your room?
7380POSTSCRIPT.--Why are there so many carbineers at Orvinio?
7380Paganisme immortel, es- tu mort?

7380Query: whether there be no connection between brachycephalism and this modern deification of machinery?
7380Saint Domenico and his serpents, the lonely mead of Jovana(?
7380Shall I begin all over again?
7380Shaving that moustache?
7380She smiled politely, and soon I heard her whispering to her husband:"I had him there, eh?
7380Sixty per cent, shall we say?
7380So make a note of it, wo n''t you?
7380Star- gazing, my Star?
7380Surely folks can converse in your country?"
7380Surely it is sometimes two o''clock in the afternoon, in your country?"

7380The inn.... Are there any inns left at Mentone?
7380The villainies of the virtuous: who shall recount them?
7380Then I asked myself: who comes to these regions, now that invalids have learnt the drawbacks of their climate?
7380Then I asked:"Where did you learn this?

7380Thin?
7380This must be the secret charm of Rome, do n''t you think so?

7380Those much- abused cement floors-- they were not so inconvenient, were they, at this season?
7380To produce something incomplete and imperfect, a torso of a kind-- is it not symbolical of the moment?

7380Where I said something nice about the white macaroni?"
7380Where are now their horns, the trophies?

7380Who ever heard of seals living in sweet land- locked waters?
7380Who ever thought of building a tower at the bottom of a hill?
7380Who had n''t?
7380Who is he?"

7380Who was this Dr. Henderson?
7380Who, he asks-- who can resist the influence of Greek ideas at the Cape St. Martin?
7380Why bear a cross?
7380Why did he fail to"satisfy his curiosity"in regard to them?
7380Why do you come to Italy...?"

7380Yet, on the occasion of my next visit a week or two later, there was still nothing doing-- not just then, though one never knows, does one?
7380Yonder... that dusky patch against the mountain?
7380You go and tell your brother----""My brother?
7380You might ask him, will you?
7380You said you had thought about it already.... Perhaps there are other reasons?"
7380Zurich: who shall sum up thy merciless vulgarity?
7380[ 14] And those legions of butterflies-- do they still hover among the sunny patches in the narrow vale leading to Mount Terrata?
7380one was not so infernally venerable as all that, was one?
7380what''s this?
