12561 | It was at once concluded by all that this ship must be a pirate, else why did she alter her course and give chase to us? |
12561 | Shall I ever see it again? |
12561 | The parting was certainly most bitter, for the thought involuntarily obtruded itself,"Should we ever meet again in this world?" |

12561 | wilt thou see him again, or will the cold ground be a barrier between you till this life is past? |
25855 | Do n''t you know then,he asked after a moment''s silence,"what is to happen to- day?" |
25855 | How much did the Archbishop give you? |
25855 | How,a prelate, whose nearest relative had joined the Church of Rome, asked Archbishop Howley,"how shall I treat my brother?" |

39806 | But-- what do you think came next? |
39806 | Do n''t you think I ought to find Papa and tell him''bout it?" |
39806 | He looked very penitent, but whispered to Polly:"Do n''t you wish you could halloo, Polly darling? |
39806 | It''ll be hard holding in, Teddy; but we''ve truly got to, else Mamma and Papa''ll be''shamed of our queerness again, do n''t you see?" |
39806 | Oh, Teddy Terry, are n''t you glad we''re almost there?" |
39806 | Oh, Teddy Terry, do you s''pose they''re forgetting''bout Papa''s trunk? |
39806 | Oh, is n''t it the very bestest news we could have? |

10769 | Giovanni Bellini born( d. 1516) Antonio Pollaiuolo born( d. 1498) 1430 Cosimo Tura died 1431 Andrea Mantegna born( d. 1506) 1432(?) |
10769 | I doubt his memory much, his heart a little, And in some minor matters( may I say it?) |
10769 | Is it perhaps the unfinished Leonardo after all? |
10769 | Knowing this( as he did know it) how could he be wholly cast down? |
10769 | Masaccio died 1428 Desiderio da Settignano born( d. 1464) 1429(?) |
10769 | Of this court what can I say? |
10769 | So where are we? |
10769 | The pictures, although so few, are peculiarly attractive, being the work of two very rare hands, Piero della Francesca(? |
10769 | Was there ever anything prettier? |
10769 | What sports, what cares( Since there are none too young for these) engage Thy busy thoughts? |
10769 | What then would he have said of one who has spent not a few afternoon hours, between five and six, in watching the game of pallone? |
10769 | Who painted it if not Filippino? |
10769 | Who, sitting here, can fail to think that? |
49831 | How much? |
49831 | Of course,he said; we already had enough to carry; would the_ Signora_ forgive him for troubling her? |
49831 | To Rome? |
49831 | Which is the way to Terni? |
49831 | _ And the name of the going up the side of the hill is called Difficulty._"_ Is not the place dangerous? 49831 _ Perchè?_"we asked again. |
49831 | _ Perchè?_we asked. |
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"? |
49831 | Had we, by mischance, wandered into a Valley of the Shadow of Death? |
49831 | Hath it not hindered many in their pilgrimage?_"We left Siena the morning after the marionette exhibition. |
49831 | He himself was a professional letter- writer, and if the_ Signore_ had any letters he wished written--? |
49831 | How could he? |
49831 | How much more of this was there, we asked a woman watching swine on the hillside? |
49831 | In despair I broke in in French:"But, my father, can not we stay this one night?" |
49831 | Is it any wonder that we both lost our tempers, and that an accident was the smallest evil we wished the manufacturers of our tricycle? |
49831 | No, he answered; but would we like to look in the wine- press opposite? |
49831 | No? |
49831 | None but spirits could have sung there; and what spirits would dare to lift their voices in this famous street but those of Baglioni? |
49831 | Oh, is''t not strange that what they did so well In the Pen way meets in the Name Pen- nell? |
49831 | Perhaps_ monsieur_ speaks French? |
49831 | Should we stay long in Italy? |
49831 | The 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? |
49831 | Then one opened his mouth very wide and pointed to his teeth:"The little sir,"he asked,"is he a dentist?" |
49831 | To our"_ Perchè?_"he said it was the law. |
49831 | Was it not all America? |
49831 | Was it of value? |
49831 | Was there a rule like this at Monte Oliveto, and was six the hour when its bolts and bars were fastened against the stranger? |
49831 | Was this right? |
49831 | We could not take the time to visit them? |
49831 | We must not mix water with it; it was Christian, why then should it be baptized? |
49831 | Were they to dine with us? |
49831 | What was one against so many? |
49831 | What would the_ Speedvell Cloob_ have thought? |
49831 | Where was the_ trattoria_? |
49831 | Why can not it be believed, for the legend''s sake, that the olives were planted afterwards because of the name? |
49831 | Would not the_ Signora_ have a handkerchief? |
49831 | Would we not go and dine and then come back? |
49831 | Would we write him postal cards to tell him of the distance and time we made? |
49831 | Yes, he assented, what was it I wanted? |
49831 | You know it? |
49831 | _ Chi lo sa?_--"Who knows?" |
49831 | and sometime we would come back to Empoli? |
49831 | and 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? |
49831 | as much perhaps as a hundred francs? |
49831 | he exclaimed, of what use were they? |
49831 | what 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?" |
46092 | And were not the flowers, those gay brave pennons of spring and summer, the quintessence of this Roman dust? |
46092 | And who of us but has wept over the Great Betrayal, and the passing of the beautiful Grifonetto, forgiven at the last by Atalanta? |
46092 | Can it be that I have dreamt of you, seeing some picture of a mediaeval city in a psalter? |
46092 | Can you wonder then that our Goddess, Imperial and lovely Rome, seemed to have stepped down among ordinary mortals? |
46092 | Did Ceres weep at Enna? |
46092 | Did he too love the memory of Francis? |
46092 | Did the rosy feet of Aphrodite ever press the sands of Paphos? |
46092 | Do you not think that the great Mother of Pity loves this rough sculpture best? |
46092 | Does any city frown so fiercely on the traveller as Orvieto? |
46092 | Hath it not been told you from the beginning? |
46092 | Have ye not heard? |
46092 | Have ye not known? |
46092 | Have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? |
46092 | If there was dust, was it not dust of the dead? |
46092 | Is 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? |
46092 | Is it that they all bear the image of St. Peter''s and the Vatican in their minds? |
46092 | Is it the blood of Adonis which makes the stream of Carmel red? |
46092 | Is not all the dust in the world dust of the dead? |
46092 | Many times we had been greeted with the words,''_E Roma? |
46092 | Or the capers and the flowering rosemary, which made a garden of the ancient walls of Trevi? |
46092 | Or the subtle beauty of the Tiber, as it washed the skirts of Perugia''s hill? |
46092 | Or was it beyond his understanding that a man should dream of giving up all the world to follow a vision of eternal life? |
46092 | Or, if this does not stir you, would you rather learn romance from the nomenclature of her ancient gates? |
46092 | That we have conned it in a hundred other frescoes? |
46092 | Think 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? |
46092 | Was it I who dreamt the rest? |
46092 | Was it a bird, or did I see a scrap of paper flutter from the window of that dark tower? |
46092 | Was 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? |
46092 | We had lately come from there? |
46092 | Were they not Emperors too? |
46092 | What does it matter that the story has been often told? |
46092 | What little town in Italy has not? |
46092 | What of the night? |
46092 | Where had they gone? |
46092 | Who could forget the classic grace of Clitumnus, when he saw the clustered poplars soaring from the plain? |
46092 | Who could have dreamt that I should find her here, on this bleak hillside, in this austere old house? |
46092 | Who could he be? |
46092 | Who could resist her, this happy butterfly fashioned so beautifully for love on a golden summer day? |
46092 | Why not have left that sunken figure resting on such hard stones as it chose for comfort in life? |
40394 | A Corinthian capital is a beautiful form; but why should the hand of man be kept back from devising other beautiful forms? |
40394 | Again, would Venetian taste have allowed such clumsy substitutes for columns as these? |
40394 | And now the question comes, Is the island of Korkyra the Scheriê of Homer? |
40394 | And, if in some things it is less purely Greek than the rest of that kingdom, what is the cause? |
40394 | And, 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? |
40394 | Are they Saracens whose forms record the memories of some returning Crusader? |
40394 | Are we to seek here for the justification of the frontier which struck us as artificial and needless? |
40394 | As he first saw the mighty bell- tower, he asks,"What were our thoughts? |
40394 | But are we to take the"royal faith"in the same sense as the"royal law"of the New Testament? |
40394 | But can we look for such badges at Aquileia? |
40394 | But how far is that admiration the result of mere wonder at something which in any case is strange and striking? |
40394 | But how far ought he to proclaim to the world the merits of the place which he has found out for himself? |
40394 | But how shall the traveller find his way to Aquileia? |
40394 | But may we confess to the weakness of looking at all these things only from the deck of the steamer? |
40394 | But where was the Hêraion, the temple of Hêrê, which plays a part in more than one of the Thucydidean narratives? |
40394 | But who burned the village, and why? |
40394 | Did 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? |
40394 | Does he blame the capitals, which certainly do not follow the exact pattern of any Vitruvian order? |
40394 | Does he blame the massive abaci? |
40394 | Does not this show a lurking sign of what was coming, a lurking feeling that the arch itself was the true architrave? |
40394 | Does some pedantic Vitruvian brand the columns as too short? |
40394 | Final conquest of Dalmatia 6 Martyrdom of Saint Caius 296? |
40394 | How can he draw the line, so as to lead travellers to come, without holding out the least inducement to mere tourists? |
40394 | How does a mass of white limestone come to be called the Black Mountain? |
40394 | If we were to have Alexander and Arthur, why not the rest of the nine worthies? |
40394 | In other words, which represents the præ- Roman city, and which represents its enlargement in Roman times? |
40394 | Is the mound natural or artificial? |
40394 | Is this he whose name has been rightly or wrongly added to certain annals of Bari? |
40394 | Let us answer boldly, Why should art be put in fetters? |
40394 | Now, which was the elder part of the two? |
40394 | On whom rests the blame? |
40394 | Or are we to believe that the Morlacchi used the turban as their head- dress before the Ottoman came? |
40394 | Otranto was the last of the conquests of the great Conqueror; what if he had been longer- lived? |
40394 | Salona, he will answer, is in Dalmatia, and how can there be more than one way of sounding the_ omega_ in the second syllable? |
40394 | Shall we say_ Görz_,_ Gorizia_, or_ Gorici_? |
40394 | Was it a Christian village burned by Turks? |
40394 | Was it a Christian village burned by its own inhabitants rather than leave anything to fall into the hands of the Turks? |
40394 | Was it a Christian village burned by the insurgents because its inhabitants refused to join in the insurrection? |
40394 | Was it a Turkish village burned by Christians? |
40394 | Was it a commonwealth by itself, cradled on the channel of Brazza like Gersau on the Lake of the Four Cantons? |
40394 | Was the present citadel, the true[ Greek: Koryphô], itself always an island, as it is now? |
40394 | Was the winged lion ever set up, and then taken down again? |
40394 | We are again driven to ask, Which is the dialect of the Romans? |
40394 | What 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? |
40394 | What but of poor Mark Antony de Dominis?" |
40394 | What if his work in some sort failed? |
40394 | What name shall we give to the style of this most remarkable building, at all events to the style of its admirable arcade? |
40394 | What tongue is meant by[ Greek: Rhômaisti]? |
40394 | What word either of Greek or of Latin can the Emperor have got hold of? |
40394 | Who was this Jovianus? |
40394 | Would the devotion of the Most Serene Republic have allowed its patron anywhere so lowly a place as this to occupy? |
40394 | Would 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? |
40394 | and where was the island opposite to the Hêraion--[Greek: pros to Hêraion]--and the isle of Ptychia, both of which appear in his history? |
40394 | how far is it a really intelligent approval of beauty or artistic skill? |
40394 | or does it mean the"royal faith,"as being set up under some orthodox Emperor, when the orthodoxy of Emperors was still a new thing? |
40394 | that to the east or that to the west? |
40394 | what if the second Bajazet had deserved the name of Thunderbolt like the first? |
16705 | The 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?" |
16705 | How much he ought to give? |
16705 | If one may be so near Titian''s autograph and the illuminated_ Divine Comedy_, why not this treasure too? |
16705 | Is it because they know how secondary a place woman holds in this city of well- nourished, self- satisfied men? |
16705 | Is 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? |
16705 | Not bad surroundings for a saint, are they? |
16705 | Now what more can honeymooners ask? |
16705 | Of S. Mark''s what is one to say? |
16705 | Should it have all these hues? |
16705 | The Sistine Chapel in Rome is wonderful enough, with its frescoes; but what is the labour on a fresco compared with that on a mosaic? |
16705 | The gondolier even now is not always a model of courtesy and content; what will he be when the poison of machinery is in him? |
16705 | They 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? |
16705 | They gave her, however( this, though from the lives of the saints, is sheer fairy tale, is n''t it?) |
16705 | What the spectators and church officials would think if he refused? |
16705 | Where many books could not exhaust the theme, what chance has only one? |
16705 | Whether it was quite the thing to bring the box so often and at such a season? |
16705 | Whether shaking it so noisily was not peculiarly tactless? |
16705 | Why did these? |
16705 | Why is this? |
16705 | Why lose one''s temper? |
16705 | Why not? |
16705 | Why should not the sacred remains be stolen from the Egyptian city and brought to Venice? |
16705 | With what feelings, one wonders, did Titian approach what he knew was his last work? |
16705 | _ Cloth, 8vo, colored illustrations,$ 1.50 net._* Three Hundred Games and Pastimes* OR, WHAT SHALL WE DO NOW? |
16705 | _ Q._ At the table of the Lord whom have you placed? |
16705 | _ Q._ Can you imagine it? |
16705 | _ Q._ Does it appear to you fitting that at our Lord''s last supper you should paint buffoons, drunkards, Germans, dwarfs, and similar indecencies? |
16705 | _ Q._ In this supper of Our Lord, have you painted any attendants? |
16705 | _ Q._ Tell us what he is doing who is next to this last? |
16705 | _ Q._ That fellow dressed like a buffoon, with the parrot on his wrist,--for what purpose is_ he_ introduced into the canvas? |
16705 | _ Q._ Were you commissioned by any person to paint Germans and buffoons, and such- like things in this picture? |
16705 | _ Q._ What is St. Peter doing, who is the first? |
16705 | _ Q._ What is he doing who is next to him? |

16705 | _ Q._ Who do you really think were present at that supper? |
16705 | _ Q._ Why, then, have you painted them? |
16705 | _ Question._ Do you know the reason why you have been summoned? |
16445 | Are you a Florentine, pray friend, said I? |
16445 | What do they do to make you hate them so? |
16445 | You have lived some years in England, friend, said I, do you like it? |
16445 | _ Io penso maestà che non è cattivo suddito del principi,_replied the master,"_ quantunque farà gran nemico di giove._""How so?" |
16445 | _ Who says the modern Romans are degenerated? 16445 --Mais non, madame, pas parfaitement bien[L]"--"You have travelled much in Italy, do you like that better?" |
16445 | Are the modern inhabitants still more refined than_ they_ in their researches after pleasure? |
16445 | At the Colonna palace what have I remarked? |
16445 | But are we sure after all it was upon the_ banks_ these trees, not now existing, were ever to be found? |
16445 | But if it_ was_ painted by St. Luke, said I, what then? |
16445 | But who can bear to lay their laurels by? |
16445 | But why so? |

16445 | Peter, said I, to my own man, as we came out,_ chi è quella dama? |
16445 | Shall we fancy there is Gothic and Grecian to be found even among the animals? |
16445 | Tell me then, pray good girl, and tell me quickly, what did you expect to see? |
16445 | The ladies indeed appear to study but_ one_ science; And where the lesson taught Is but to please, can pleasure seem a fault? |
16445 | To the busy Englishman they might well apply these verses of his own Milton in the Masque of Comus: What have we with day to do? |
16445 | We are not_ people of fashion_ though you know, nor at all rich; so how should we set fashions for our betters? |

16445 | do you think_ he_, or the still more excellent person it was done for, would approve of your worshipping any thing but God? |
16445 | how shall I consent to quit this lovely city? |
16445 | might yield as much as an ordinary cow? |
16445 | or is not that_ too_ fanciful? |
16445 | or should it serve as a reason for making disgraceful comparisons between Ariosto and Virgil, whom he scorned to imitate? |
16445 | said I, are not you much surprised?--"It is a fine sight, to be sure,"replied she coldly,"but,"--but what? |
16445 | who is that lady? |
14276 | Am I the only passenger? |
14276 | And you, sir,said the lady, turning to a handsome young fellow in civil dress, near her,"how did you pass this horrible night?" |
14276 | But at least these prisons are on the site of Ecelino''s castle? |
14276 | But first,said the signor who had selected him,"how much is your brougham an hour?" |
14276 | But how does any one ever see them? |
14276 | But the custodian-- how could he lie so? |
14276 | But were not the Romans also Italians, Signore? |
14276 | Did you ever,said the cicerone after we had left the building,"hear such music as that?" |
14276 | I suppose you gentlemen are all Piedmontese? |
14276 | Indeed,I heard an Italian lady once remark,"why should men pretend to deny us the privilege of smoking? |
14276 | Is there nothing else? |
14276 | Oh, have you ever been at Genoa? |
14276 | This house, with a shop on either side, whose is it, XXVI.? |

14276 | But of the Gonzagas of Mantua, and their duchy, what do you know, gentle reader? |
14276 | Could I not take warning from another, and refrain from this fruitless effort of description? |
14276 | Did Petrarch use to sit and meditate in this garden? |

14276 | I wonder did Petrarch walk often down this road from his house just above? |
14276 | I wonder how he should have known us for Americans? |

14276 | The cicerone was not to be silenced even with such a tribute, and he went on:"Perhaps, as you are Americans, you know Moshu Feelmore, the President? |
14276 | The long street of tombs outside the walls? |
14276 | The well- dressed man lifted his forefinger and waved it back and forth before his face:--_ The Well- dressed Man_.--Dunque, non si parte più? |

14276 | We were talking of the American war, and when the captain had asked the usual question,"_ Quando finirà mai questa guerra_?" |
14276 | What are you good for if you ca n''t take a foreigner to his consul''s?" |
14276 | What is it comes to me at this distance of that which I saw in Pompeii? |

29658 | Has it a resident population to whom it is a home, and not the pilgrimage of passionate pilgrims? |
29658 | Has it any existence save on the artist''s canvas, in the poet''s vision? |
29658 | Has it trade, commerce, traffic? |
29658 | Has it, in the present state of human progress, any place which will justify devotion to it?" |

39100 | Who wanted him? |
39100 | Why not? |
39100 | A 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? |
39100 | And was any ever set in a fairer country? |
39100 | And who shall say their tradition is not true? |
39100 | Are we not growing a little tired of churches? |
39100 | But how? |
39100 | But if certain things happened a great while ago, is it my fault? |
39100 | But no Livy? |
39100 | But what gains a ready sale for them? |
39100 | But what, then, was the library doing in this splendid and costly villa at Herculaneum? |
39100 | But where, then, is the rest of that gigantic wall? |
39100 | But why guess about a question so impossible to solve? |
39100 | But why, or with what object? |
39100 | But why? |
39100 | Day and night, in the fancy of the great Florentine, Rome lay weeping, widowed and alone, calling constantly,"Cesare mio, why hast thou deserted me?" |
39100 | Did I complain of the lack of music? |
39100 | Did he in truth act only from those pure motives? |
39100 | Does anyone ask how the beans became so bitter? |
39100 | Does it still exist? |
39100 | Else whence came the heaps of whitening bones of lost sailors, among which the Sirens sat and sang? |
39100 | Had he done so, would he not have driven off the other way, and melted down the Madonna in his own cottage? |
39100 | How came that old glory to sink into shame, to accept slavery and to forget faith? |
39100 | How came the picture there? |
39100 | How did the guests look when the guard went round arresting every man of mark or consequence within the hall? |

39100 | Or again, am I to blame for the strange neglect of Italian history in schools? |
39100 | Over the upper one is written''RAFA''( Raphael), above another''MICAH, SCS VRVS''(?). |
39100 | Perhaps not quite, but what of that? |
39100 | Perhaps they did not; perhaps-- but what is the use of suppositions? |
39100 | The lad heard them, and went towards them saying,"What is it, my people?" |
39100 | The theory was clear, but who could interpret the practice on all occasions? |
39100 | To whom in that pagan city could Hebrew history have suggested so apt and terrible a foreboding? |
39100 | Was it the same blue wonder that we see? |

39100 | Where, one asks oneself, is old Amalfi? |
39100 | Who can tell the uses of the strange masses of broken masonry which one finds in climbing up and down the lonely cliff paths? |
39100 | Who can tell what were the words? |
39100 | Who could have been the builders of this dam in days so ancient that even the Greek settlers did not know its origin? |
39100 | Who could have cared to collect the works of Philodemus, large and small, even to the notes he made from other books? |
39100 | Who could it be but Philodemus himself, the only man, surely, for whom such a collection would have value? |
39100 | Who has not felt the charm of that naïve irresponsibility which pervades the tales of Naples in old days? |
39100 | Who 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? |
39100 | Who knows whether the city will escape more lightly when the next epidemic comes? |

39100 | Who would not wish to see the very lanes through which he wandered naked in the night? |
39100 | Who would unroll these charred manuscripts, and who could possibly read them when unrolled? |
39100 | Why did not the dyers establish their vats at the foot of the hill, profiting by the constant intercourse of Amalfi with other cities? |
39100 | Why must we be wiser than fifty generations of mankind? |
39100 | Why need we be puzzled that we can not make our balance agree with hers? |
39100 | Why, one wonders, did not the first builders use it, and let the city grow around it? |
39100 | With what object did he build tower and arched vault in spots where only sea- birds could have the fancy for alighting? |
39100 | Yet even in fibs there must be probability, or where would be the use of them? |
39100 | You think the moment has gone by for speaking of the islets? |
39100 | or at least, why did they not place their keep and fortress on the Pizzofalcone? |
39100 | what is the use of asking such questions about a myth? |
18049 | But,said I,"I see no soldier; where is the garrison to defend the fort?" |
18049 | Compassion is wasted upon such creatures,said R----;"do you not see that their minds are degraded down to their condition? |

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

14972 | How can you be certain that the part itself did not stimulate his musical faculty to fresh and still more appropriate creativeness? |
14972 | How can you prove he did not feel a natural appropriateness in the_ motifs_ he selected from his memory for Cherubino? |
14972 | How can you prove to me that the melodies he gave to Cherubino had not been evolved from situations similar to those in which Cherubino finds himself? |
14972 | How shall we describe their potency? |
14972 | How should the legend be interpreted? |
14972 | I continued,''is the drama but emotion presented in its most external forms as action? |
14972 | I wondered whether they were tingling still with the heart- throbs and with the pressure of those many arms? |
14972 | If Luini had felt passion, who shall say? |
14972 | If the gods that men have made and ignorantly worshipped be really but glorified copies of their own souls, where is the sun in this parallel? |
14972 | Is not, indeed, our whole life of this nature? |
14972 | Is there truth, then, in the dim tradition that this mountain land was colonised by Etruscans? |
14972 | Is, then, the anthropomorphic God as momentary and as accidental in the system of the world as that vapoury spectre? |
14972 | Is_ Ras_ the root of Rhætia? |
14972 | Meanwhile, what had become of young Goldoni? |
14972 | My literary taste was tickled by the praise bestowed in the Augustan age on Rhætic grapes by Virgil: Et quo te carmine dicam, Rhætica? |
14972 | Now, really, were we amusing ourselves? |
14972 | Of one of these he asked,''Whose is yonder funeral procession returning from San Pietro?'' |
14972 | Perchè non vieni ancora?_ pleads Leporello; the chorus shouts:_ Perchè? |
14972 | Perchè non vieni ancora?_ pleads Leporello; the chorus shouts:_ Perchè? |
14972 | Scegliesti? |
14972 | She is quite alone; but are not her father and mother in bed above, and within earshot? |
14972 | So they mounted to the bedroom, and Lorenzino, knowing where the Duke was laid, cried:''Sir, are you asleep?'' |
14972 | THE CASTELLO OF FERRARA Is it possible that the patron saints of cities should mould the temper of the people to their own likeness? |
14972 | The women fluttered about us and kept asking whether we really liked it all? |
14972 | The young poet felt at home; how could a comic poet feel otherwise? |
14972 | Then, with a sudden and vehement transition to the pathos of her own sorrow, she exclaims:--''Halla mai bista nissunu Tumbà l''omi pe li canti?'' |
14972 | Thereupon she began to scold her charge, and say,''Is this a fair and comely thing, to stand all day at balconies and throw flowers at passers- by? |
14972 | These were of unquestionable value; for has not Cicognara engraved them on a page of his classic monograph? |
14972 | To reach such a garden and such sunlight who would not mount six stories and thread a labyrinth of passages? |
14972 | VII.--LORENZINO BRUTUS It remains to ask ourselves, What opinion can be justly formed of Lorenzino''s character and motives? |
14972 | Was it for this that we had left our English home, and travelled from London day and night? |
14972 | Was the winged and sworded genius upon the Ephesus column meant for a genius of Death or a genius of Love? |
14972 | We are forced to go farther back, and ask ourselves, What suggested it in the first place to the composer? |
14972 | What changed the face, so beautiful and terrible in youth, to ugliness that shrank from sight in manhood? |
14972 | What does a man want more? |
14972 | What does it communicate to you?'' |
14972 | What does the lamb mean? |
14972 | What has Love to do With prudence? |
14972 | What pass or cranny in that precipice is cloven for its escape? |
14972 | What were the God who sat outside to scan The spheres that''neath His finger circling ran? |
14972 | What will Cherubino be after three years? |
14972 | What would he find distinctive of their spirit? |
14972 | What, after all, is the love of the Alps, and when and where did it begin? |
14972 | What, again, was the temporal power of the Papacy but a sword embedded in a cross? |
14972 | What, we think, as we gaze upward, would the Master have given for such a craftsman? |
14972 | When I show thy shirt, who will vow to let his beard grow till the murderer is slain? |
14972 | When he murdered his cousin, was he really actuated by the patriotic desire to rid his country of a monster? |
14972 | Whence can it issue? |
14972 | Where then can a more complete artistic harmony be found than in the opera?'' |
14972 | Who is there left to do it? |
14972 | Who knows what cry of the Convention made the painter fling his palette down and leave the masterpiece he might have spoiled? |
14972 | Who shall translate those curiously perfect words to which tone and rhythm have been indissolubly wedded? |
14972 | Who was he? |
14972 | Who will undertake thy vengeance? |
14972 | Why did the Lord so much desire you? |
14972 | Why does the torrent shout, the avalanche reply in thunder to the music of the sun, the trees and rocks and meadows cry their''Holy, Holy, Holy''? |
14972 | Why linger pondering in the porch? |
14972 | Why rose the Camaldolis and Chartreuses over Europe? |
14972 | Why, morning after morning, does the red dawn flush the pinnacles of Monte Rosa above cloud and mist unheeded? |
14972 | Why, then, is this? |
14972 | Why, then, should monks, so persuaded of the riddle of the earth, have placed themselves in scenes so beautiful? |
14972 | Without some other power than the mind of man, could men have fashioned for themselves those ideals that they named their gods? |
14972 | Would 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? |
14972 | a disillusioned rake, a sentimentalist, an effete fop, a romantic lover? |
14972 | art thou sleeping? |
14972 | whether it was true we danced? |
14972 | whether we should come to the_ pranzo_? |
14972 | who will console me for your loss? |
14972 | why did he use it precisely in connection with this dramatic situation? |
16477 | Come volete faccia che non pianga, Sapendo che da voi devo partire? 16477 Silk?" |
16477 | What have you there that you are shutting up so close? |
16477 | 5), and Solinus too, as though it were indubitable: who does not know that Pisa was from Pelops?" |
16477 | Ah, what would we not give just for a moment to hear his voice in that place to- day? |
16477 | And 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? |
16477 | And if you do, are they any more to you than an idle tale, a legend, which has lost even its meaning? |
16477 | And then has he not built as only a painter could have done, in white and rose and green? |
16477 | And then where is there a better inn than Albergo Amorosi of Bibbiena, unless, indeed, it be the unmatched hostelry at Fivizzano? |
16477 | And 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? |
16477 | And then, who knows what awaits one on the way? |
16477 | And when they had gone on a little way, the peasant said to St. Francis,''Tell me, art thou Brother Francis of Assisi?'' |
16477 | And, 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? |
16477 | As 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? |
16477 | But 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? |
16477 | But of one of the pupils of Luca, Agostino di Duccio, 1418- 81(? |
16477 | But, indeed, what crime would be too great in order to possess oneself of such a thing? |
16477 | By what right do you refuse to do what I have done? |
16477 | Can 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? |
16477 | Can it have been this"pious brother"who wrote the_ Fioretti_? |
16477 | Could 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? |
16477 | Did she hear as of old-- that Virgin with narrow half- open eyes and the sidelong look? |
16477 | Do you wonder why Carrara has never produced a sculptor? |
16477 | Full of memories-- and of what else, then, but the past can she dream? |
16477 | Hearing 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?'' |
16477 | Hearing 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?'' |
16477 | How could Lorenzo restore that which he had never stolen away, that which had, in truth, never had any real existence? |
16477 | How may I describe the wonder of that place? |
16477 | How, after the delight, the delicate charm of the fifteenth century, can I speak of this beautiful, strong, and tragic soul? |
16477 | In this disaster who knows what became of the miracle picture of Madonna? |
16477 | Is it any wonder her fellow- servants hated her, called her modesty simplicity, her want of spirit servility? |
16477 | Is it any wonder that, impossible as his dream appeared, he had his way with Florence at last-- yes, and with himself too? |
16477 | Is it only sleep? |
16477 | Is it still true of her, that though she is proud she is not proud enough? |
16477 | Is, then, the work of Marsilio Ficino nothing, the labours of a thousand forgotten humanists? |
16477 | Nor was that vision, so full of wisdom( a vision of birth or resurrection, was it?) |
16477 | O poggio traditor, che ne farai? |
16477 | O poggio traditor, che ne farete? |
16477 | Or again, with half a sob--"Come volete faccia che non pianga Sapendo che da voi devo partire? |
16477 | Shall we forgive them, and forget that since our hearts are changed they are changed also? |
16477 | Surely it was an emerald once? |
16477 | That 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? |
16477 | That 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? |
16477 | Then said I,"What are those leaves that you have there, and what are you going to do with them?" |
16477 | Then they sing of Saturday and Sunday--"Quando sara sabato sera, quando? |
16477 | There he found him in ecstasy, saying,''Who art Thou, O most sweet, my God? |
16477 | There lay Luca della Robbia, Lorenzo di Credi, Mariotto Albertinelli, Piero di Cosimo: where is their dust to- day? |
16477 | There you may see him lecturing to his students, and one of them is a woman; can it be that Selvaggia whom he loved? |
16477 | Those small pictures of the life of St. Mary, which surround her still with their beauty, do you even know what they mean? |
16477 | Was it Florence herself perhaps who hung there? |
16477 | Was it a bird, or my angel, whose beautiful, anxious wings trembled lest I should fall in a land less simple than this? |
16477 | Was it for this the Greeks blinded their statues, lest the gods being in exile, they might be shamed by the indifference of men? |
16477 | Was 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? |
16477 | Was this, then, the saviour of Savonarola''s dreams? |
16477 | Well, but that depends on what you seek, does it not? |
16477 | What am I, most vile worm, and Thine unprofitable servant?'' |
16477 | What could be more like a child''s dream of a church than La Madonna delle Carceri? |
16477 | What do we owe to Savonarola? |
16477 | What has the Venetian Jew, Daniel Manin, to do with them? |
16477 | What music does he hear, that monk with the beautiful sensitive hands, who turns away towards his companion? |
16477 | What then did Pisa look like in these the days of her great power and prosperity? |
16477 | What then, we may ask ourselves, were the aim and desire of the Italian builders, which it seems have escaped us for so long? |
16477 | What was it that haunted this shore, full of foreboding, prophesying death? |
16477 | What, then, was that Savonarola whom all have conspired to praise, whose windy prophecies, whose blasphemous cursings men count as so precious? |
16477 | Wherefore? |
16477 | Who knows what Italy, under the heel of the barbarian, does not owe to these faded pages, and through Italy the world? |
16477 | Who knows what beauty has here passed by? |
16477 | Who knows? |
16477 | Who knows? |
16477 | Who may describe the colour and the delicate glory of this work? |
16477 | Will it explain to us the rise of Florentine painting? |
16477 | Will one ever reach them, those far- away pure peaks immaculate in silence, like a thought of God in the loneliness of the mountains? |
16477 | Yes, 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?) |

14634 | A bravo is asked: Dost thou imagine thou canst slide on blood, And not be tainted with a shameful fall? |
14634 | A girl speaks thus within sight of the grave( p. 808):-- Yes, I shall die: what wilt thou gain? |
14634 | Ah, when will dawn that blissful day When I shall softly mount your stair, Your brothers meet me on the way, And one by one I greet them there? |
14634 | Ah, when will dawn that day of bliss When we before the priest say Yes? |
14634 | Am I your dog? |
14634 | And what can be more piteous than this prayer? |
14634 | And whence flows this pride? |
14634 | But how should the unfortunate Francesco be entrapped? |
14634 | Charles Lamb was certainly in error? |
14634 | Couldst thou not speak some seasonable word, Tell him what shame this idle love hath wrought? |
14634 | Do the noblemen of Rome Erect it for their wives, that I am sent To lodge there? |
14634 | Do you know me? |
14634 | Fair one, haste our king to greet: Who will fling him blossoms sweet Soonest on this first of May? |
14634 | For what past sorrow is he weary of his life? |
14634 | From those who feel the fire I feel, what use Is there in asking pardon? |
14634 | He looks sturdy, and may live to be of any age-- doomed always, is that possible, to beg? |

14634 | How indeed could he make this city in a moment free, after sixty years of slow and systematic corruption? |
14634 | How shall I bear a pang so passing sore? |
14634 | How shall I make the fount of tears abound, To weep apace with grief''s unmeasured flow? |
14634 | How shall we reconstruct the long- past life which filled its rooms with sound, the splendour of its pageants, the thrill of tragedies enacted here? |
14634 | I have often asked myself, Who, then, was this nun? |
14634 | In his rage he cries: What fury raised_ thee_ up? |
14634 | In other words, what is the characteristic which, proceeding from the personality of the artist, is impressed on all his work? |
14634 | In the following picture of the house of Venus, who shall say how much of Ariosto''s Alcina and Tasso''s Armida is contained? |
14634 | Is a girl about to win A brave husband in her lover?-- Straight you set to talk him over:''Is he wealthy?'' |
14634 | Is all art excellent in itself and good in its effect that is beautiful and earnest? |
14634 | Is he out in it, and where? |
14634 | Love, what hast thou to command? |
14634 | Mark ye how sunk in woe The poor wretch forth doth pass, And may not answer, for his grief, one word? |
14634 | Methinks I am dropping in swoon or slumber: Am I drunken or sober, yes or no? |
14634 | Midas treads a wearier measure: All he touches turns to gold: If there be no taste of pleasure, What''s the use of wealth untold? |
14634 | No, you pander? |
14634 | Now, prithee, let me hear what made you stay So long upon the upland lawns away? |
14634 | O traitor hill, what shall it be? |
14634 | O traitor hill, what will you do? |
14634 | Or is it my brain that reels away? |
14634 | Or with thy beauty choose To make him blest who loves thee best of all? |
14634 | Or, like the black and melancholic yew- tree, Dost think to root thyself in dead men''s graves, And yet to prosper? |

14634 | Tell me, dear love, which are the most, Your light steps or the sighs they cost? |
14634 | Tell me, dear love, which more abound, My sighs or your steps on the ground? |
14634 | The scholar''s scepticism, which lies at the root of his perversity, finds utterance in this meditation upon death: Whither shall I go now? |

23430 | And suppose I find more than one? |
23430 | And suppose there are not more than two,asked Rollo,"what shall we do then?" |
23430 | And what became of him at last? |
23430 | And what became of the babies? |
23430 | And what did they do with the Coliseum then? |
23430 | And which would you rather do,asked Mr. George,"go in the morning or in the evening? |
23430 | And which, all things considered, is the greatest work, do you think? |

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

7373 | And did you see nothing of Piacenza? |
7373 | And how far on was that? |
7373 | And if you are so worn- out and bereft of all emotions, how can you tell a story? |
7373 | And it rained all the time, and there was mud? |
7373 | And so I was forced to consider and to be anxious, for how would this money hold out? |

7373 | And what art or songs have you? |

7373 | And what is there else but pleasure, and to what else does beauty move on? |
7373 | And what of that? |
7373 | And when you have arrested him, can you do more than let him go without proof, on his own word? |
7373 | And where are you?'' |
7373 | And who is a penny the better for it? |
7373 | And why do you suppose I got it? |
7373 | And why( you will say) is all this put by itself in what Anglo- Saxons call a Foreword, but gentlemen a Preface? |
7373 | And, by the way, would you like to know why universities suffer from this curse of nervous disease? |
7373 | And, tell me-- what can it profit you to know these geographical details? |
7373 | As_ La Croix_ said in a famous leading article:_''La Presse? |
7373 | But Mr_( deleted by the Censor)_ does not think so? |
7373 | But all that does not excuse an intolerable prolixity? |
7373 | But all this is by the way; the point is, why was the eight francs and ten centimes of such importance just there and then? |
7373 | But could it be done? |
7373 | But do you intend to tell us nothing of Rome? |
7373 | But perhaps you have been reading little brown books on Evolution, and you do n''t believe in Catastrophes, or Climaxes, or Definitions? |
7373 | But what is it? |
7373 | But what rule governs all this? |
7373 | But why did_ this_ tenth milestone from_ this_ Roman town keep its name? |
7373 | But, frankly, do you suppose I came all this way over so many hills to talk economics? |

7373 | Do I make myself clear? |

7373 | Do you know those books and stories in which parts of the dialogues often have no words at all? |

7373 | Have you a priest in Calestano, and does he know Latin?'' |
7373 | Have you not read in books how men when they see even divine visions are terrified? |
7373 | Have you seen anything moving on the heights?'' |

7373 | How then would you write such a book if you had the writing of it? |
7373 | How''German''? |
7373 | I approached a priest and said to him:_''Pater, quando vel a quella hora e la prossimma Missa? |
7373 | I caught him up, and, doubting much whether he would understand a word, I said to him repeatedly--_''La granda via? |
7373 | I know that; but what am I to do? |
7373 | I put my head in at the door and said--''Am I in Switzerland?'' |
7373 | I said''_ Molinar_?'''' |
7373 | I said,''Have you any beans?'' |
7373 | I should very much like to know what those who have an answer to everything can say about the food requisite to breakfast? |
7373 | I spoke to the woman, and pointing at the tin cans, said--''Is this what you call open wine?'' |
7373 | I thought you said you were not going to talk economics? |
7373 | I wonder what the people are paid for it? |
7373 | II san Gottardo? |
7373 | If it did, I think there is a little question on''why should habit turn sacred?'' |
7373 | In the name of all decent, common, and homely things, why not begin and have done with it? |
7373 | Indeed? |
7373 | Is it not art? |
7373 | Is it not much wiser to arrest such a man? |
7373 | Is this algebra? |
7373 | It is worth eight''scutcheons the hectolitre, that is, eight sols the litre; what do I say? |
7373 | It is years ago now... Michael, what are those little things swarming up and down all over it?'' |
7373 | Just as I neared them, hobbling, I met a man driving two cows, and said to him the word,''Guest- house?'' |
7373 | La via a Piacenza? |
7373 | May he not cut off it, as his due, twenty- five miserable little miles in the train?'' |
7373 | Non se vede che non parlar vestra lingua? |
7373 | Now, why did he say this and grin happily like a gargoyle appeased? |
7373 | Only dots and dashes and asterisks and interrogations? |
7373 | Pray are we to have any more of that fine writing? |
7373 | Pray, sir, will you not look at other maps for a moment?'' |
7373 | Shall I detail all that afternoon? |
7373 | Shall a man march through Europe dragging an artist on a cord? |
7373 | Shall an artist write a book? |
7373 | She was moreover not exactly of- what shall I say? |
7373 | So I, very narrowly watching him out of half- closed eyes, held up my five fingers interrogatively, and said,_''Cinquante? |
7373 | So you think one can say a plain thing in a plain way? |
7373 | Tell me at least one thing; did you see the Coliseum? |
7373 | Tell me, Lector, had this man any adventures? |
7373 | Tell me, do you believe in the peak of the Matterhorn, and have you doubts on the points of needles? |
7373 | Tell me, why is not every place ten miles out of a Roman town called by such a name? |
7373 | The woman as sulkily said to me, not looking me in the eyes--''How much will you pay?'' |
7373 | Then I added,''Can you make omelettes?'' |
7373 | Then I gave a lira to the molinar, and to his companion on stilts 50 c., who said,''What is this for?'' |
7373 | Then I said to the molinar,_''Quanta? |
7373 | Then I said,_''Soixante Dix? |
7373 | Then I thought,''Shall I take a favour from such a man?'' |
7373 | Then tell me, how would you treat of common things? |
7373 | Then the soldiers began calling out to him singly,''Where are you off to, Father, with that battery?'' |
7373 | Then they say to me, what about the concentration of the means of production? |
7373 | Then they talked a great deal together, while I shouted,_''Quid vis? |
7373 | Then what emotions have you had, unimprisonable rich; or what do you know of active living and of adventure? |
7373 | Then 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? |
7373 | Then, to make conversation, I said,_''Diaconus es? |
7373 | This 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? |
7373 | Thus he told me the name for a knife was_ cultello;_ for a room,_ camera par domire;_ for''what is it called?'' |
7373 | Thus she would say:''Perhaps the joint would taste better if it were carved on the table; or do the gentlemen prefer it carved aside?'' |
7373 | To the man who had brought me I gave 50 c., and so innocent and good are these people that he said_''Pourquoi? |
7373 | To what emotion shall I compare this astonishment? |
7373 | Tu ris? |
7373 | Vis ne me assassinare? |
7373 | Visne mi dare traductionem in istam linguam Toscanam non nullorum verborum? |
7373 | Was it in so small a space that all the legends of one''s childhood were acted? |
7373 | Was the defence of the bridge against so neighbouring and petty an alliance? |
7373 | Well, it was a short play and modern, was it not? |
7373 | What I want to know is, why a duchess? |
7373 | What about him? |
7373 | What about that great work on The National Debt? |
7373 | What about that little lyric on Winchelsea that you thought of writing six years ago? |
7373 | What about the Brigand of Radicofani of whom you spoke in Lorraine, and of whom I am waiting to hear? |
7373 | What could prevent me? |
7373 | What did I at Lodi Vecchio? |

7373 | Where( if I was honest) had I intended to sleep? |
7373 | Who began it? |
7373 | Who but Germans would so feel the mystery of the hills, and so fit their town to the mountains? |
7373 | Who but Germans would so preserve-- would so rebuild the past? |
7373 | Who can not live on four francs a day? |
7373 | Who does not need for either of these perfect things Recollection, a variety of according conditions, and a certain easy Plenitude of the Mind? |
7373 | Who else can give benedictions if people can not when they are on pilgrimage? |

7373 | Why are the few lines still in your head and not on paper? |
7373 | Why could it not be crossed? |
7373 | Why do you use phrases like_''possible exception''?_ AUCTOR. |
7373 | Why not? |
7373 | Why on earth did you write this book? |
7373 | Why should I? |
7373 | Why should the less gracious part of a pilgrimage be specially remembered? |
7373 | Why was I there? |
7373 | Why was the guardian a duchess? |
7373 | Why your benediction? |

37206 | Because why? |
37206 | But I said loudly to the urchin:"Is_ that_ the telegraph official?" |
37206 | But in Sardinia, where roads and bridges are absolutely wanting, will they do anything? |

37206 | Did they do all their meat this way? |
37206 | Do they want men in America? |
37206 | Et vous?" |
37206 | Everything? |
37206 | For why? |
37206 | Girgenti, and the sulphur spirit and the Greek guarding temples, to make one madder? |
37206 | Had the milk come? |
37206 | Had we any more luggage-- were we going to the steamer? |
37206 | Had_ she_ paid for the train-- heh? |
37206 | Has not this song been sung at me once too often, by these people? |
37206 | Have you something to say? |
37206 | Hearing me speak to the q- b, he said in confidence to the priest:"Here are two Germans-- eh? |
37206 | Her ticket? |
37206 | Here, say I, they make it with nothing.--Is there milk? |
37206 | How far? |
37206 | How many men, how many races, has Etna put to flight? |
37206 | How much does it cost? |
37206 | How will she be ruined?" |
37206 | I asked how one went to the steamer-- did one walk? |
37206 | I say what for? |
37206 | I wanted to count their sails-- five square ones which I call the ladder, one above the other-- but how many wing- blades? |
37206 | In America too? |
37206 | In a very short time they were through their portions: and was there nothing else? |
37206 | Is n''t that so? |
37206 | Is our marvellous, mechanical era going to have so short a bloom? |
37206 | Is there another room?" |
37206 | Is there coffee? |
37206 | Is there something that amuses you? |
37206 | It all has an air of"Why not?" |
37206 | Looks down as if to say, What do you mean by it? |
37206 | Methylated spirit, a small aluminium saucepan, a spirit- lamp, two spoons, two forks, a knife, two aluminium plates, salt, sugar, tea-- what else? |
37206 | Naples, Rome, Florence? |
37206 | No milk at all? |
37206 | No more-- what? |
37206 | No passports? |
37206 | Not for long? |
37206 | Nothing else, you sludge queen? |
37206 | Now I ask you, is this to be borne? |
37206 | Oh my, will you go in such a little thing? |
37206 | Oh no-- will you risk it, really? |
37206 | Oh, my girovago was a known figure all over the country.--And where would they sleep? |
37206 | Only then? |
37206 | Or does the very word call an echo out of the dark blood? |
37206 | Or is the tide of enlightenment and world- unity already receding fast enough? |
37206 | Say then-- what does it mean? |
37206 | Shall we go forward? |
37206 | She got up wrathfully and stumbled into the dark passage, exclaiming--"Don''t we eat yet?" |
37206 | She shouts at me as I pass, in her powerful, extraordinary French:"Madame votre femme, elle est au lit?" |
37206 | She was not more than twenty years old I should say: or was she? |
37206 | Should we sit on in our present carriage, and go down in it to the port, along with the schoolmistress, and risk it? |
37206 | Somebody asks_ who_? |
37206 | Strange, is n''t it? |
37206 | The bus has stopped quite close to the door of the inn: Star of Italy, was it? |
37206 | The dark- browed man looked up at the girovago and said:"Are you going to cook the sausages with your fingers?" |
37206 | The lark flew at him and said"Then you''ve changed it, have you?" |
37206 | The q- b said no, why? |
37206 | The three giggling young hussies shrink together as if they would all hide behind one another, after a vain uprearing and a demand why? |
37206 | The workman''s International, or the centripetal movement into national isolation? |
37206 | Then she appeared with a bowl of smoking cabbage soup, in which were bits of macaroni: and would we have wine? |
37206 | Then where is tea? |
37206 | They addressed the sludge- queen curtly and disrespectfully, as if to say:"What''s she up to?" |
37206 | They seize the black- edged one by the arm, and in profound commiseration:"Do you suffer? |
37206 | They thought themselves no less-- and what are they? |
37206 | Thirty two hours in such a little boat? |
37206 | To travel with the stomach uneasy did one harm:_ fa male, fa male-- non è vero?_ Chorus of"yes." |
37206 | Tunis? |
37206 | Was he a Paladin and a splendour? |
37206 | Was there a bedroom? |
37206 | Was there a fire? |
37206 | Was there any cheese? |
37206 | Was there anything to eat? |
37206 | Was there cheese? |
37206 | Was there no room? |
37206 | Was there nowhere where we could sit? |
37206 | We helped ourselves, and the fat carabiniere started the conversation with the usual questions-- and where were we going tomorrow? |
37206 | We see the hill? |
37206 | Well, how nice to see you.--Oh, let the man wait.--What, going on at once to Naples? |
37206 | Well, what were we to do? |
37206 | Were they, said I, a sort of camorra? |
37206 | Were we English? |
37206 | Were we depending on booking berths at the port of Naples? |
37206 | Were we not going to see any more? |
37206 | What affair is it, yours?" |
37206 | What are the allies for? |
37206 | What did one pay for bread in Germany? |
37206 | What did the old woman want to take her trips down the line for? |
37206 | What do you say?" |
37206 | What does he want then? |
37206 | What does it mean, that this is an inn? |
37206 | What does it mean, your Ristorante Risveglio, written so large?" |
37206 | What does one care for precept and mental dictation? |
37206 | What does one care? |
37206 | What else was there to eat? |
37206 | What else was there to eat? |
37206 | What else was there? |
37206 | What good was that? |
37206 | What is the exchange today? |
37206 | What is your dialect?" |
37206 | What makes you say so? |
37206 | What sort of pictures? |
37206 | What was there to eat?--and was it nearly ready? |
37206 | What, say, what does it mean? |
37206 | What? |
37206 | What?" |
37206 | Wheesky-- eh? |
37206 | When are we going to London? |
37206 | When, oh when shall we come to Siniscola, where we are due to eat our midday meal? |
37206 | When? |
37206 | Where are you going?" |
37206 | Where did the bus go? |
37206 | Where had we come from, where were we going, what for? |
37206 | Where is his home? |
37206 | Where then? |
37206 | Where then? |
37206 | Where was the oven? |
37206 | Where were we going and where had we been and where did we live? |
37206 | Where''s the q- b? |
37206 | Whereupon the new fat neighbour asked him was it true that the Catholic Church was now becoming the one Church in the United States? |
37206 | Which motion will conquer? |
37206 | Who would have expected it? |
37206 | Why are you here? |
37206 | Why be angry? |
37206 | Why be angry? |
37206 | Why bother about privacy? |
37206 | Why ca n''t one sit still? |
37206 | Why come to anchor? |
37206 | Why do n''t I come on Friday? |
37206 | Why do n''t we get them? |
37206 | Why do n''t you take it as it comes? |
37206 | Why do they look so intense? |
37206 | Why do you have the impudence to take in travellers? |
37206 | Why look out? |
37206 | Why not stay? |
37206 | Why not? |
37206 | Why should they? |
37206 | Why take it morally? |
37206 | Why were these folk at the town- end making this fire alone? |
37206 | Why, then, must one go? |
37206 | Why? |
37206 | Why? |
37206 | Why? |
37206 | Why? |
37206 | Why? |
37206 | Why? |
37206 | Why? |
37206 | Will the last waves of enlightenment and world- unity break over them and wash away the stocking- caps? |
37206 | Will you drink Wheesky, Mister?" |
37206 | Will you really go? |
37206 | With all the money, and we others with no money? |
37206 | Wo n''t you go from Cività Vecchia?" |
37206 | You are eating at the inn?" |
37206 | You ask why? |
37206 | You mean Ireland?" |
37206 | You must laugh, must you? |
37206 | You see that cape?" |
37206 | You think so? |
37206 | You''re sure you have everything you want? |
37206 | _ Non è vero?_ this to all the men from Siniscola. |
37206 | then you ca n''t go? |
28294 | And it carried off the eggs too, I suppose? |
28294 | Are you aware of anything he ever did? |
28294 | Art thou, too, fallen, Iberia? 28294 But,"I rejoined,"have you no idea of their number?" |
28294 | Can you tell me,I asked,"who made the world?" |
28294 | Did you ever,whispered my Russian friend,"see such a people?" |
28294 | Do other boys and girls, your acquaintances, go to confession? |
28294 | Do you go to church? |
28294 | Do you go to confession? |
28294 | Do you take the sacrament? |
28294 | Do_ you_ not believe in them? |
28294 | Does the priest ask you about anything else? |
28294 | For what? |
28294 | Has it wrought any of late? |
28294 | Have you any coffee? |
28294 | Have you beef?--Have you cheese?--Have you macaroni? |
28294 | Have you ever heard of Christ? |
28294 | Have you,said the official,"any more?" |
28294 | How are we,abruptly asked the preacher,"to become the sons of God?" |
28294 | How can you avoid confessing? |
28294 | If you confess it a second time, what happens? |
28294 | In what quarter of Rome did she live? |
28294 | Is this Italy? |
28294 | Then, why do n''t you? |
28294 | Was Christ ever on earth? |
28294 | Was Mary ever on earth? |
28294 | Was there,asked Mr Whiteside of a sculptor in Rome,"really affecting yourself, any practical oppression under old Gregory?" |
28294 | Well, when you go to confess, what does the priest ask you? |
28294 | What did she do when here? |
28294 | What does he ask you about them? |
28294 | What does she say? |
28294 | What is that to me? |
28294 | What is the matter? |
28294 | What o''clock is it? |
28294 | What of the night? |
28294 | What shall I have for doing so? |
28294 | When will it be ready for the transport of the cannon? |
28294 | When you confess that you have done a bad action, what then? |
28294 | Where are its temples, its palaces, its vineyards? |
28294 | Where is Christ? |
28294 | Where is she? |
28294 | Where,you exclaim,"are its highways?" |
28294 | Who is he? 28294 Who is she?" |
28294 | Whose Son is he? |
28294 | Again we ask, why is this? |
28294 | Again we say, Where are your subjects, Pio Nono? |
28294 | An hundred thousand? |
28294 | And after this, what can he look for among the ordinary worshippers? |
28294 | And even when he honestly wishes to serve him, what can he do? |
28294 | And how can it be otherwise, when the Church, for reasons best known to itself, denies the people the use of the indispensable instruments? |
28294 | And how can it be otherwise? |
28294 | And how happens it, too, that the Pope is infallible in only one science,--even the theological? |
28294 | And how was this temple built? |
28294 | And to what? |
28294 | And was time to close upon a world shrouded in darkness, with nought but this feeble beacon burning amid the Alps? |
28294 | And what becomes of the families of these unhappy men? |
28294 | And what did they depose? |
28294 | And what is canon law? |
28294 | And what is that work? |
28294 | And what is the aspect of the country? |
28294 | And what the appearance and apparent profession of these men? |
28294 | And what will our country then become? |
28294 | And who are they who tenant these places? |
28294 | And who is he? |
28294 | And why is it so? |
28294 | And why were they brought out of their house of bondage? |
28294 | And why were they there? |
28294 | And why, even to this hour, has it not told us all, but reserved some very important questions for future decision, or revelation rather? |
28294 | And why? |
28294 | And why? |
28294 | As the night grew late, the inquiries became more frequent,"Are we not yet at Rome?" |
28294 | Before decreeing worship to one, would it not be better to let his contemporaries pass from the stage of time? |
28294 | Beneath the dark shadow of the Vatican do they ever think of the sunny and vine- clad hills of their Palestine? |
28294 | But farther, what is the principle of the mass? |
28294 | But how comes this? |
28294 | But how shall I describe or group the horrors that have darkened and desolated the Papal States from that hour to this? |
28294 | But how stands the fact? |
28294 | But of what subjects do these catechisms treat? |
28294 | But should we fall from that happy state, how are we to recover it? |
28294 | But this solitary pillar, which stands erect where so many temples have fallen, with what message is it freighted? |
28294 | But what could they do? |
28294 | But what is the fact? |
28294 | But what sort of farming are we to expect from such corporations as we find in the city of Rome? |
28294 | But where are you to look for justice,--justice in its unmixed, eternal purity,--if not at Rome? |
28294 | But where is the Rome of the Cæsars, that great, imperial, and invincible city, that during thirteen centuries ruled the world? |
28294 | But where was the key that could open that breast, and read the secrets locked up in it? |
28294 | But who is to make them? |
28294 | But why is this? |
28294 | But, pray tell me, why do you permit the cardinals or the Pope ever to die, when the Bambino can cure them?" |
28294 | By the way, why should the profession of astrology and the cognate arts be permitted to only one class of men? |
28294 | Can Infallibility not walk alone, that it uses crutches? |
28294 | Can an infallible man not know truth from error till first he has collected the votes of fallible bishops? |
28294 | Can any sane man doubt that paganism once reigned here? |
28294 | Can he enclose within a little silver box that Almighty One whom the heaven, even the heaven of heavens, can not contain? |
28294 | Can the spirit, I asked myself, ever forget its earthly struggles, or the scene on which they were endured? |
28294 | Can you tell me anything about him?" |
28294 | Condemned to what? |
28294 | Could I, when far away,--in the seclusion of my own library, for instance,--bid the Alps rise before me, in stupendous magnificence, as now? |
28294 | Dare not till the earth God has given you?" |
28294 | Did he hasten to the prison, and beg his prisoner to come forth? |
28294 | Did it not come out of the foul box of Tetzel the indulgence- monger? |
28294 | Did no monk ever think of putting a stained window in the east, and compelling the sun to ogle the world through spectacles? |
28294 | Did not the Marshal Nouilles order a war against bankers? |
28294 | Did not the law of the suspected compel Protestants to nourish soldiers in their houses, as a punishment for refusing to go to mass? |
28294 | Did the ages seem long to him, or was it but as a few days since he left the earth? |
28294 | Did the heart of Gregory relent? |
28294 | Did you don the mail- coat of the warrior, or the white robe of the priest? |
28294 | Did you ever, reader, set foot in a_ diligence_? |
28294 | Do they not still love us? |
28294 | Do they not still think of us? |
28294 | Do we see The robber and the murderer weak as we? |
28294 | During all this time, what way has been made by the Catholic nations? |
28294 | Had he been shot, or what had happened? |
28294 | Had he not often climbed this Capitol? |
28294 | Had not his feet pressed, times without number, this lava- paved road through the Forum? |
28294 | Has he marked that tall thin man who has just passed him,"Walking in beauty like the night?" |
28294 | Has he political papers?" |
28294 | Has its natural canal, the Po, dried up? |
28294 | Has the Creator set limits to the life of kingdoms, as to that of man? |
28294 | Have we considered the infinite degradation of defeat? |
28294 | Have we forgotten the famous declaration of Wiseman, that his grand end in the papal aggression was to introduce canon law? |
28294 | Her great Founder demanded that she should be tried by her fruits; and why should Rome be unwilling to submit to this test? |
28294 | How came these tombstones there, if early Christianity and the early martyrs be a fable? |
28294 | How can a worship in which no one ever joins edify any one? |
28294 | How can it be otherwise? |
28294 | How do they conduct that process at Rome? |
28294 | How is this? |
28294 | How many iron- workmen are there in the Papal States? |
28294 | How much is that? |
28294 | How was I to carry in my pocket such a cage of imps? |
28294 | How was I to sleep at night in their company? |
28294 | How, then, can He be regarded with confidence or love? |
28294 | I 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?" |
28294 | I might have puzzled the boy by asking,"But who made the masons?" |
28294 | I 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? |
28294 | I 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? |
28294 | I wondered whether that coast had looked as unkindly to Æneas, when first he cast anchor on it after long ploughing the deep? |
28294 | If so, what mean these dungeons? |
28294 | If the Pope believes in his own relics, what conceptions must he have of Peter? |
28294 | If there was no purgatory, how could the painters of an infallible Church ever have given so exact a representation of it? |
28294 | Is Christ''s Vicar a model to all governors? |
28294 | Is he not a priest, and is not Rome his own? |
28294 | Is he not the same man? |
28294 | Is it for the past you mourn?" |
28294 | Is it its noble monuments,--its fine palaces,--its august temples? |
28294 | Is it not strange, then, to confine with bolt and bar beings who intend anything but escape? |
28294 | Is it not that Christ is again offered in sacrifice, and that the pain he endures in being so propitiates God in your behalf? |
28294 | Is it so? |
28294 | Is it the Jesuits? |
28294 | Is it the Pope? |
28294 | Is it the cardinals? |
28294 | Is it when the decree has been voted by the Council that it becomes infallible? |
28294 | Is its soil less fertile? |
28294 | Is not the Papal Government manifestly sacrificing its own interests? |
28294 | Is not, then, the area of Europe that is covered with masses"_ the place where our Lord was crucified_?" |
28294 | Is that the account which we have of his ministry? |
28294 | Is there, then, no immortality in reserve for nations? |
28294 | Is 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?" |
28294 | Is this the"three- score- and- ten"of nations, beyond which they can not pass? |
28294 | Let any minister or missionary attempt to do so now, and what would be his fate? |
28294 | May not the same principle be applicable, in some extent, to our passage from earth into the world beyond? |
28294 | Must they continue to die? |
28294 | Nay, what is a nation''s duration, when weighed against thine? |
28294 | Now, why is this? |
28294 | Once was he chased from Rome; and now that he is returned, can he call Rome his own? |
28294 | One can hardly see it without asking,"What ails thee? |
28294 | One thousand? |
28294 | Or do ye descry from afar the coming of a better era? |
28294 | Or had the Church completed her triumphs, and finished her course? |
28294 | Or is it when it is confirmed by the Pope that it becomes infallible? |
28294 | Repents, does she? |
28294 | Shall God, indeed, the fowls and manna strew,-- My daily bread? |
28294 | She has grown pitiful, and tender hearted, has she? |
28294 | Should they take it into their head to creep out of my book, and buzz round my bed, would it not give me unpleasant dreams? |
28294 | Take the same Rome six months after his return, and how many do you find in it? |
28294 | Taking advantage of the greater timidity of the female mind, it has become a leading question with the confessor,"Does your husband read the Bible? |
28294 | The Church will stand, doubtless, because they tell us she is founded on a rock; but what will become of the State? |
28294 | The French Prefect, Mr Whiteside tells us, published a statistical account of Rome; and how many paupers does he say there are in it? |
28294 | The beads have been counted, and an Ave Maria said with each; and what more does the Church require? |
28294 | The case being so, where, I ask, are you entitled to look for justice, if not at Rome? |
28294 | The 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? |
28294 | The first question that arises is, in what light do the priests in Italy regard their own system? |
28294 | Then, why should affluence, and the other accessories of power, have so uniformly a corrupting and dissolving effect upon society? |
28294 | To what region has she gone where barbarism and vice have not disappeared? |
28294 | To whom did she make her appeal? |
28294 | Violators of the law,--brigands, murderers? |
28294 | Was it then a reality, and not a dream? |
28294 | Was not the law of requisition for the public roads practised to prepare the roads for Queen Marie Leczinska? |
28294 | Was not the law of the maximum, which regulated prices, practised by the regency? |
28294 | Was the Argus of the Vatican asleep when this wolf broke into the fold? |
28294 | Were its cities filled with looms and forges, would not its people have more money to spend on masses and absolutions? |
28294 | Were my reader living in London or in Edinburgh, and wished to visit Chelsea or Portobello, how would he proceed? |
28294 | Were not the commissions called revolutionary tribunals first used against the Protestants? |
28294 | Were not the fusilades first used at the bidding of the priests to crush heresy? |
28294 | Were not the houses burned down of those who frequented Protestant preaching? |
28294 | Were not the properties of the Protestant emigrants confiscated? |
28294 | Were 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? |
28294 | What are embattled cities and aisled cathedrals to the eternal hills, with their thunder- clouds, and their rising and setting suns? |
28294 | What can they do but beg? |
28294 | What do you see throughout the successive ages? |
28294 | What do you see? |
28294 | What enterprise or interest have a sisterhood of nuns to farm their property? |
28294 | What gulf divides them? |
28294 | What had he seen and felt these four thousand years? |
28294 | What has become of them? |
28294 | What is it that strikes you on first entering the"Holy City?" |
28294 | What is it which has produced this universal slavery? |
28294 | What is it, I repeat, that holds the whole body in subjection, from the Pope down to the friar? |
28294 | What is the Government of the Papal States, but just the Government of the Inquisition? |
28294 | What is to be done with the carcase? |
28294 | What matters it that the Adriatic is no longer the highway of the world''s merchandise, and that India is now closed to Venice? |
28294 | What matters it that, in rooting out British Protestantism, she should shed oceans of blood, and sound the death- knell of a whole nation? |
28294 | What skill or capital have a brotherhood of lazy monks, to enable them to cultivate their lands? |
28294 | What stronger condemnation of their system could they pronounce? |
28294 | What though the Pope reigns over a wasted land and a nation of beggars? |
28294 | What was I to do? |
28294 | What would our country be without its iron,--without its railroads, its steam- ships, its steam- looms, its cutlery, its domestic utensils? |
28294 | When Christianity entered Rome in the person of the Apostle Paul, did the tyrant of the Palatine strike her dumb? |
28294 | When Pio Nono fled from Rome to Gaeta, what was the amount of its population? |
28294 | When did Christ build dungeons, or gather_ sbirri_ about him, or send men to the galleys and the scaffold? |
28294 | When did they come into being, and of what stock are they sprung? |
28294 | When men can be awed neither by painted fiends nor real cannon, what is to awe them? |
28294 | Where are your subjects, Pio Nono? |
28294 | Where have they gone to? |
28294 | Whether, said I to myself, does Italy owe most to its rivers or to its Governments? |
28294 | Who can tell how much the firmness and perseverance of the more prominent actors in these struggles were owing to her wise and affectionate counsels? |
28294 | Who converted Italy into a barbarian and a slave? |
28294 | Who has not heard of the Pra de la Torre, in the valley of Angrona? |
28294 | Who is he, and what does he there? |
28294 | Who kindled that solitary lamp? |
28294 | Who through the deep, and o''er the desert plain Will aid and cheer me, and the path will show? |
28294 | Who, what, and where is he? |
28294 | Why did it not give that creed to the Church in the first century which it kept back till the sixteenth? |
28294 | Why 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? |
28294 | Why did it permit so many questions to be debated, which it could so easily have settled? |
28294 | Why did the Papists divide_ territorially_ the country? |
28294 | Why did they assume_ territorial_ titles? |
28294 | Why do ye not, ye glorious mountains, put on sackcloth, and mourn with the mourning nations beneath you? |
28294 | Why does it deal out truth piecemeal,--one dogma in this century, another in the next, and so on? |
28294 | Why does it not tell us all at once? |
28294 | Why erect new houses, when those already built will last their time and the world''s? |
28294 | Why is it that all persons and systems in this world of ours must die in order to enter into life? |
28294 | Why is it that all the functions of nature are beneficent? |
28294 | Why is this? |
28294 | Why is this? |
28294 | Why make provision for posterity, when there is to be none? |
28294 | Why preach liberty to men in chains? |
28294 | Why should Infallibility seek help, which it can not in the nature of things need? |
28294 | Why should the Pope need assessors and advisers? |
28294 | Why 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? |
28294 | Why these trials shrouded in secrecy? |
28294 | Why this clanking of chains, and that cry which has gone up to heaven, and which pleads for justice there? |
28294 | Why, then, is iron not imported into that country? |
28294 | Why, then, was it not till the sixteenth century that Infallibility gave anything like a fixed and complete creed to the Church? |
28294 | Why? |
28294 | Will any Romanist kindly explain this to us? |
28294 | Will his ride convert him into a heretic, or shake his faith in Peter''s successor? |
28294 | Will no kind hand draw the veil aside but for a moment? |
28294 | Will she now adopt half measures? |
28294 | Will she now falter and draw back,--she that never before feared enemy or spared foe? |
28294 | Will the reader accompany me to another and very different scene? |
28294 | Will the reader go back with me to the point where we began our excursion through Rome,--the Flaminian Gate? |
28294 | Will you permit it? |
28294 | Will you tamely sit still till it has put its foot on your neck, and its fetter on your arm? |
28294 | With such evidence before him as Italy furnishes, can any man doubt what the consequence would be of admitting this system into Britain? |
28294 | Would Christianity ever re- appear? |
28294 | Would any one have been at the pains to have done all this, or could he have done it without being detected? |
28294 | Would it not be better for itself were Italy covered with a prosperous agriculture and a flourishing trade? |
28294 | Would not Sodom have been spared had ten righteous men been found in it? |
28294 | Would they softly speak to us if they could? |
28294 | Yet why blame these poor people? |
28294 | You ask, why do these men remain in a Church which they see to be apostate? |
28294 | and dare I to implore Thy pillar and thy cloud to guide me, Lord? |
28294 | and 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? |
28294 | and is the glory that mantles your summits the kindling of an inward joy at the prospect of coming freedom? |
28294 | and 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? |
28294 | and 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? |
28294 | and what the fate of any Roman who might dare to visit him? |
28294 | and why do they so pertinaciously cling to these titles? |
28294 | and why not Piedmont, seeing the Waldensian Church was there? |
28294 | can a priest at any hour he pleases give existence to Him who exists from eternity? |
28294 | if 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? |
28294 | in darkness, and in the bowels of the earth? |
28294 | might 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?" |
28294 | or do they regard it as indeed founded in truth, and clothed with the sanction of heaven? |
28294 | thought I, if this majestic image has so faded in the interval of a few moments, what will it be years after? |
28294 | what glory is this which begins to burn upon the crest of the snowy Alps? |
28294 | who will break my servile chain? |
28294 | worshipping, are they?" |
7380 | A company? 7380 A good- looking fellow like me-- why should I work? |
7380 | Ah, it wants cleaning, does n''t it? |
7380 | Am I an invalid, to drink Fiuggi water? |
7380 | And 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? |
7380 | And yet-- would you believe it? 7380 And you expect to keep your children alive if you send them to Cisterna?" |
7380 | Any damage? |
7380 | Anything? |
7380 | Are they elastic? |
7380 | Are those your two reasons? |
7380 | But what is an injunction? |
7380 | But what is an injunction? |
7380 | Ca n''t you guess? |
7380 | Count your ribs? 7380 Dead, is he? |
7380 | Did elephants scramble about these precipices and ravines? 7380 Did you ever give her a kiss?" |
7380 | Did you observe the illumination of the Falls, sir, last night? |
7380 | Do n''t you find the Germans a little prepotenti? |
7380 | Do you know, Sir, that you are in the war- zone-- the zona di difesa? |
7380 | Do 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?" |
7380 | Does that beast of yours eat Christians? |
7380 | Drop your job for the sake of a few days? |
7380 | Elephants? |
7380 | Five o''clock? 7380 Fuyez?" |
7380 | Have you no sweetheart, Attilio? |
7380 | He? 7380 How about all those deserters?" |
7380 | How can one avoid seeing the beastly thing? |
7380 | How can you expect me to remember all that? |
7380 | How many more times do you wish me to make that clear? 7380 In that short time? |
7380 | Is that all? 7380 Nine years-- that old rag? |
7380 | No? 7380 No? |
7380 | Nobody, surely, need be any the wiser? |
7380 | Now, my good fellow,they seem to say,"are you blind?" |
7380 | Open about what? |
7380 | Ought I to be satisfied before I have learnt them? |
7380 | Strawberries? |
7380 | Supposing 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? |
7380 | Then you have thought about it before? |
7380 | There may be? |
7380 | To England? |
7380 | To hurry up? 7380 Tried the War Office?" |
7380 | Well? |
7380 | What do you make of them? |
7380 | What have I been doing? |
7380 | What have we here? |
7380 | What is the matter? 7380 What is there to think about? |
7380 | What of it? |
7380 | What on earth brings you here? |
7380 | What? 7380 Where do you draw it?" |
7380 | Who ever heard of strawberries in Central Italy on the 31 July? 7380 Whom does one bribe?" |
7380 | Why to me? 7380 Why to you?" |
7380 | Why''fuyez''? |
7380 | Why? |
7380 | You sent him into the plains last summer? |
7380 | Your Lucullo, we may take it, was a Roman? |
7380 | ( How came this stone here? |
7380 | ... Was anything more precious than life?... |
7380 | A child of Niobe? |
7380 | A company, do n''t you see? |
7380 | A good tip on the stock exchange? |
7380 | A mechanic, are n''t you?" |
7380 | A pause...."Not like us? |
7380 | A small pointed beard, an eye- glass? |
7380 | A whim, a freak? |
7380 | About Armenia, I mean, and Poland?" |
7380 | After all, we were allies, were we not? |
7380 | Alatri What brought me to Alatri? |
7380 | All comparisons being odious, I turned the conversation by asking:"And that last one?" |
7380 | An injunction-- what did you say?" |
7380 | And Boecklin? |
7380 | And Frattura, that strange place-- what has happened to Frattura? |
7380 | And did you notice that the room was absolutely packed? |
7380 | And how many women, by the way, would have made a note of the particular quality of those macaroni? |
7380 | And if the moon were made of green cheese, we might all try to get hold of a slice of it, might n''t we?... |
7380 | And is it not the same with England? |
7380 | And the emerald lizard on the lower slopes? |
7380 | And then?" |
7380 | And therefore:"What did you do in the Great War, grandpapa?" |
7380 | And was I not the gentleman who had recently been to Orvinio? |
7380 | And what are they doing, these swarms of parasites? |
7380 | And what happened at Taranto? |
7380 | And what is the dominating trait of this old Scotsman? |
7380 | And what of that jovial red- bearded personage who scorned honest work and yet contrived to dress so well? |
7380 | And when you have them, where''s the difference? |
7380 | And whether legal proceedings of every kind would not tend to diminish? |
7380 | And why has she now flitted here, building herself this aerial bower above the old roofs of Rome? |
7380 | And why not? |
7380 | And why? |
7380 | And why? |
7380 | And would the taxpayer not profit by a reduction in their numbers? |
7380 | And yet-- is it possible? |
7380 | Another pause...."What would your mother say to you?" |
7380 | Anything else?" |
7380 | Are the natives descended from those mysterious Ligurians? |
7380 | Are the thistles of violet and red and blue and gold and silver as gorgeous as ever? |
7380 | Are they suffering? |
7380 | Are you feeling better? |
7380 | Are you satisfied?" |
7380 | Ask him, will you?" |
7380 | At night? |
7380 | At that hour therefore I appear with a shirt or something that requires a button-- would she mind? |
7380 | At this point I wake up, thoroughly exhausted, and say to myself:"Why seek his house? |
7380 | Bad? |
7380 | Besides, how far would one get, with Giulio? |
7380 | But if everybody thought like that, where would the Isonzo line be?" |
7380 | But since you wish to take that step, why choose the Casino which has a reputation to keep up? |
7380 | But supposing the publisher always objects to your choicest paragraphs?" |
7380 | But where shall a man still find those edible maccheroni-- those that were made in the Golden Age out of pre- war- time flour? |
7380 | But, as to substance, he contains too many nebulosities and abstractions for my taste; a veritable mist of them, out of which emerges-- what? |
7380 | By the way, have you tried the War Office?" |
7380 | By the way, what does Baedeker mean by speaking of the"excellent wines"of Scanno, where not a drop is grown? |
7380 | By what alterations? |
7380 | Call again, wo n''t you?" |
7380 | Can a man subscribe to the aspirations of a mob and yet think well of himself? |
7380 | Can he be black and white? |
7380 | Can it be that his son, a scraggy youth in those days, inherited not only the father''s name but his poetic mantle? |
7380 | Can it be the commercial Genoese, the gambling instinct? |
7380 | Can the"River Danube"still be heard flowing underground in the little cave of Saint Martin? |
7380 | Can they be found anywhere else? |
7380 | Can this wholesale change of attitude be brought about without a plot? |
7380 | Could I decipher German manuscripts? |
7380 | Could anything replace his life to him?... |
7380 | Could n''t I manage it? |
7380 | Could she guess who it is? |
7380 | Could this be the place which was famous in Pliny''s day for its grove of beeches? |
7380 | Could you perhaps tell me why Florentines, coming home from abroad, always rejoice to see it rising out of the plain?" |
7380 | Did I know anything about banking? |
7380 | Did I know anything about machinery? |
7380 | Did I like the boiled trout? |
7380 | Did I understand banking? |
7380 | Did Shelley ever walk in like humour along this canal? |
7380 | Did he never say:"You are making a fool of yourself"? |
7380 | Did he never see himself as others saw him? |
7380 | Did he not return home trembling all over and pale as death?... |
7380 | Did he not, one night, have a veritable fight with a legion of them which the wind blew from the graveyard into his face? |
7380 | Did not the curly- haired Giulio end by"stating"something to the same effect? |
7380 | Did 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? |
7380 | Did we? |
7380 | Did you tell him he might----?" |
7380 | Do n''t you agree with me?" |
7380 | Do we not all now agree with what she wrote at the time of Queen Victoria and Joseph Chamberlain? |
7380 | Do you know of a place where a man can get eatable macaroni nowadays? |
7380 | Does it derive peculiar sustenance from the lime of the masonry? |
7380 | Does not a phrase like this reveal, even better than his own romances, the essentially non- human fibre of the writer''s mind? |
7380 | Does not this speak rather loudly in favour of Teuton enterprise? |
7380 | Down there, cutting up newspapers at twenty- two shillings a week? |
7380 | Especially with so many rich ladies in the world aching for somebody to relieve them of their spare cash?" |
7380 | For if you hide your plot, how shall the critic be expected to see it? |
7380 | For who-- not five thousand, but, say, five hundred years ago-- who would have thought of building a town on a spot like this? |
7380 | Full up? |
7380 | German influence in Italy-- why not? |
7380 | Good Lord, have I not explained that a thousand times already? |
7380 | Granting that both these propositions are correct, what should we expect to find? |
7380 | Have I not more than once been useful to her, nay, indispensable? |
7380 | He asked:"Do you know why Florentines, coming home from abroad, always rejoice to see that wonderful dome of theirs rising up from the plain?" |
7380 | He asked:"You two-- do you really understand each other?" |
7380 | He must not blame overmuch, else how shall his paper survive? |
7380 | Her own kitten? |
7380 | Holbein: did the landscape of Switzerland seduce him? |
7380 | Hotel Nazionale? |
7380 | How about those regulations? |
7380 | How are they doing our there, at Scanno? |
7380 | How came Mrs. Nichol to discover their whereabouts? |
7380 | How came Odysseus to Alatri? |
7380 | How came they to hit upon the ugliest tree, and the ugliest creeper, on earth? |
7380 | How can ten men perform duties which, in Italy, would require ten times as many? |
7380 | How comes it that this man, respectably equipped by birth, has grown so warped and atrophied, an animated bundle of deficiencies? |
7380 | How corrupt a person of principles? |
7380 | How did they get it? |
7380 | How did they get there? |
7380 | How did they manage it, these young Jews, all healthy- looking and of military age-- how did they contrive to keep out of the Army? |
7380 | How do you get into them?" |
7380 | How get there? |
7380 | How long are these expected to remain legible? |
7380 | How make it more presentable, more imposing? |
7380 | How many Calvinists of to- day would write like this? |
7380 | How many good fellows are now crawling about mutilated, converted into torso''s? |
7380 | How many of these perish? |
7380 | How many of these unhappy babies will grow to maturity? |
7380 | How many return infected? |
7380 | How predispose him in your favour? |
7380 | How shall they ever be built, if all the potential builders are loafing about in uniforms at the public expense? |
7380 | How so?" |
7380 | How was the thing done? |
7380 | How? |
7380 | How? |
7380 | Hungry or thirsty? |
7380 | I agreed-- what else could one do? |
7380 | I asked,"What has my country done for me?" |
7380 | I asked:"Supposing, Madame, you desired to end the war, how would you set about it?" |
7380 | I did not tell him to die, did I?".... |
7380 | I happened to have one of the few modern reprints of that stupid and ungainly book: would he accept it? |
7380 | I have been asked what does it matter who makes the discovery? |
7380 | I invite him to sit down and inquire: how about a bottle of Cesanese, now that we are alone? |
7380 | I look at him and ask myself; where have I seen that face before, so classic and sinewy and versatile? |
7380 | I relight my pipe, and then inquire:"Why not give her a kiss?" |
7380 | I suppose you are nearly due?" |
7380 | If I understood banking... why did they want bankers at this institution? |
7380 | If so, would I come to Bertolini''s hotel at once? |
7380 | Imagination-- why not? |
7380 | In how many more countries was I going to be arrested for one crime or another? |
7380 | Instead of that, what do you say to taking a nap?" |
7380 | Is he dead? |
7380 | Is he not dead?" |
7380 | Is it a question of climate, or national character? |
7380 | Is it not a feature peculiar to civilization that it thinks of everything save war? |
7380 | Is it not a sign of empty- headedness? |
7380 | Is it not satisfactory to be right, when others are wrong? |
7380 | Is it not the same as saying, I do n''t care whether I am dirty or clean? |
7380 | Is it pleasant? |
7380 | Is it possible? |
7380 | Is it pretty? |
7380 | Is n''t that fairly obvious? |
7380 | Is not this an age of torso''s? |
7380 | Is she dead? |
7380 | Is she in search of happiness? |
7380 | Is that driving- road at last finished? |
7380 | Is that right? |
7380 | Is that the way to write"biography"? |
7380 | Is the calamity worth risking when time, and time alone, can decide its worth? |
7380 | Is the difference worth the long journey?" |
7380 | Is there not a barrack- full of carbineers at the entrance of the place ready to arrest such people? |
7380 | Is this what we find? |
7380 | It is illegal, do n''t you understand? |
7380 | It might vex a man if his neighbour possessed a telephone and he none; how would it be, if neither of them had it? |
7380 | It was Dr. Dohrn of the Naples Aquarium who said to me in those days:"Going to the South? |
7380 | Lieutenant?" |
7380 | Long and cruel must have been his reign for the memory to have lingered-- how many years? |
7380 | Mathew(? |
7380 | Maupassant knew them fairly well, and one thinks of that story of his:--"Le parfum de Monsieur?" |
7380 | Mill, was it? |
7380 | Morally, it might well amount to"tout comprendre, c''est ne rien pardonner"; but who troubles about pardoning or condemning? |
7380 | Nevertheless, 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?" |
7380 | No family or parliamentary worries, We trust?" |
7380 | Now what happened at Ferento? |
7380 | Now what was Scheffel doing at this Serpentaro in 1897? |
7380 | Now what would your amateur of blackberries do in Italy? |
7380 | Now why did I climb up that wretched Muretta? |
7380 | Now why did she marry all these people( for I fancy there was yet an earlier alliance of some kind)? |
7380 | Now why do they prefer to jostle each other in the narrow, squalid and stuffy lane lower down? |
7380 | Now, why? |
7380 | Of course, there was nothing doing just then; but one never knows, does one? |
7380 | One in a hundred? |
7380 | One suppresses much; why not add a little? |
7380 | Or did they plague her into it? |
7380 | Or perhaps in the evening... is she more free in the evening? |
7380 | Or this:"Might I beg you, Monsieur, to tread more lightly on the carpet in your room? |
7380 | POSTSCRIPT.--Why are there so many carbineers at Orvinio? |
7380 | Paganisme immortel, es- tu mort? |
7380 | Perfumery, and what it implies? |
7380 | Perhaps you would rather not try? |
7380 | Pointing to this golden hillock, I inquired softly:"From the cow?" |
7380 | Query: whether there be no connection between brachycephalism and this modern deification of machinery? |
7380 | Saint Domenico and his serpents, the lonely mead of Jovana(? |
7380 | Shall I begin all over again? |
7380 | Shaving that moustache? |
7380 | She smiled politely, and soon I heard her whispering to her husband:"I had him there, eh? |
7380 | Sixty per cent, shall we say? |
7380 | So make a note of it, wo n''t you? |
7380 | Star- gazing, my Star? |
7380 | Surely folks can converse in your country?" |
7380 | Surely it is sometimes two o''clock in the afternoon, in your country?" |
7380 | Surely there is a time for everything? |
7380 | Surely you have fountains in your own country?" |
7380 | Tell the truth? |
7380 | That portal, those blocks-- what Titans fitted them into their places? |
7380 | That sirocco, the worst of many Italian varieties: who shall calculate its debilitating effect upon the stamina of the race? |
7380 | That was an interesting lecture, was n''t it, on Friday? |
7380 | That we brought you here, and that you were afraid of a little mouthful of acqua santa? |
7380 | The characters of Dickens, to say nothing of Cruikshank''s pictures of them: can such beings ever have walked the earth? |
7380 | The happiness- of- the- greatest- number, of those who pasture on delusions: what dreamer is responsible for this eunuchry? |
7380 | The haunting charm of"In Maremma": why ask our public to taste such stuff? |
7380 | The honey for breakfast? |
7380 | The hotel people are so dreadfully understaffed just now-- this war!--and one really can not live without shirts, can one? |
7380 | The inn.... Are there any inns left at Mentone? |
7380 | The villainies of the virtuous: who shall recount them? |
7380 | Then I asked myself: who comes to these regions, now that invalids have learnt the drawbacks of their climate? |
7380 | Then I asked:"Where did you learn this? |
7380 | Then what shall we tell our mother? |
