1051 | Nay, in any case, would Criticism erect not only finger- posts and turnpikes, but spiked gates and impassable barriers, for the mind of man? |
1051 | Nevertheless, wayward as our Professor shows himself, is there any reader that can part with him in declared enmity? |
1051 | Nevertheless, which of the two was the more cunningly devised article, even as an Engine? |
1051 | O Heavens, is it, in very deed, HE, then, that ever speaks through thee; that lives and loves in thee, that lives and loves in me? |
1051 | Of what station in Life was she; of what parentage, fortune, aspect? |
1051 | Once more I say, sweep away the illusion of Time; compress the threescore years into three minutes: what else was he, what else are we? |
1051 | Only a torch for burning, no hammer for building? |
1051 | Or even where is the use of such practical reflections as the following? |
1051 | Or has the Professor his own deeper intention; and laughs in his sleeve at our strictures and glosses, which indeed are but a part thereof? |
1051 | Or hast thou forgotten the day when thou first receivedst breeches, and thy long clothes became short? |
1051 | Or how, without Clothes, could we possess the master- organ, soul''s seat, and true pineal gland of the Body Social: I mean, a PURSE?" |
1051 | Or is the God present, felt in my own heart, a thing which Herr von Voltaire will dispute out of me; or dispute into me? |
1051 | Or is this merely one of his half- sophisms, half- truisms, which if he can but set on the back of a Figure, he cares not whither it gallop? |
1051 | Or was there something of intended satire; is the Professor and Seer not quite the blinkard he affects to be? |
1051 | Or, cries the courteous reader, has your Teufelsdrockh forgotten what he said lately about"Aboriginal Savages,"and their"condition miserable indeed"? |
1051 | Or, on the other hand, what is there that we can not love; since all was created by God? |
1051 | Perhaps also in the following; wherewith we now hasten to knit up this ravelled sleeve:--"But there is no Religion?" |
1051 | Plummet''s? |
1051 | Remarkable, moreover, is this saying of his:"How were Friendship possible? |
1051 | Rest? |
1051 | Said I not, Before the old skin was shed, the new had formed itself beneath it?" |
1051 | Say it in a word: is it not because thou art not HAPPY? |
1051 | Seems it not at least presumable, that, under his Clothes, the Tailor has bones and viscera, and other muscles than the sartorius? |
1051 | Seldom reflecting that still the new question comes upon us: What is Madness, what are Nerves? |
1051 | Shall I not have all Eternity to rest in?'' |
1051 | Some one''s doing, it without doubt was; from some Idea, in some single Head, it did first of all take beginning: why not from some Idea in mine?" |
1051 | Spake we not of a Communion of Saints, unseen, yet not unreal, accompanying and brother- like embracing thee, so thou be worthy? |
1051 | Stands he not thereby in the centre of Immensities, in the conflux of Eternities? |
1051 | Sure enough, I am; and lately was not: but Whence? |
1051 | Than which paragraph on Metaphors did the reader ever chance to see a more surprisingly metaphorical? |
1051 | That living flood, pouring through these streets, of all qualities and ages, knowest thou whence it is coming, whither it is going? |
1051 | The Overseer(_ Episcopus_) of Souls, I notice, has tucked in the corner of it, as if his day''s work were done: what does he shadow forth thereby?" |
1051 | The first ground handful of Nitre, Sulphur, and Charcoal drove Monk Schwartz''s pestle through the ceiling: what will the last do? |
1051 | The stirring of a child''s finger brings the two together; and then-- What then? |
1051 | The thunder- struck Air- sailor is not wanting to himself in this dread hour: but what avails it? |
1051 | The voice of Prophecy has gone dumb? |
1051 | The withered leaf is not dead and lost, there are Forces in it and around it, though working in inverse order; else how could it rot? |
1051 | Then, have we not a Doctrine of Rent, a Theory of Value; Philosophies of Language, of History, of Pottery, of Apparitions, of Intoxicating Liquors? |
1051 | There are not wanting men who will answer: Does your Professor take us for simpletons? |
1051 | Therefrom he preaches what most momentous doctrine is in him, for man''s salvation; and dost not thou listen, and believe? |
1051 | These Limbs, whence had we them; this stormy Force; this life- blood with its burning Passion? |
1051 | These are Apparitions: what else? |
1051 | Thinkest thou there is aught motionless; without Force, and utterly dead? |
1051 | This is even what I dispute: but in any case, hast thou not still Preaching enough? |
1051 | Thou art still Nothing, Nobody: true; but who, then, is Something, Somebody? |
1051 | Thou foolish Teufelsdrockh How could it else? |
1051 | Thou foolish"absolved Auscultator,"before whom lies no prospect of capital, will any yet known"religion of young hearts"keep the human kitchen warm? |
1051 | Thou hast no Tools? |
1051 | Thou thyself, wert thou not born, wilt thou not die? |
1051 | Thus has not the Editor himself, working over Teufelsdrockh''s German, lost much of his own English purity? |
1051 | Thus, were it not miraculous, could I stretch forth my hand and clutch the Sun? |
1051 | Thy very Hatred, thy very Envy, those foolish Lies thou tellest of me in thy splenetic humor: what is all this but an inverted Sympathy? |
1051 | To the eye of Pure Reason what is he? |
1051 | To the''_ Worship of Sorrow_''ascribe what origin and genesis thou pleasest,_ has_ not that Worship originated, and been generated; is it not_ here_? |
1051 | Unhappy Teufelsdrockh, had man ever such a"physical or psychical infirmity"before? |
1051 | Want, want!--Ha, of what? |
1051 | Was Luther''s Picture of the Devil less a Reality, whether it were formed within the bodily eye, or without it? |
1051 | Was Teufelsdrockh also a fringe, of lace or cobweb; or promising to be such? |
1051 | Was her real name Flora, then? |
1051 | Was it by the humid vehicle of_ AEsthetic Tea_, or by the arid one of mere Business? |
1051 | Was it not the still higher Orpheus, or Orpheuses, who, in past centuries, by the divine Music of Wisdom, succeeded in civilizing Man? |
1051 | Was she not to him in very deed a Morning- star; did not her presence bring with it airs from Heaven? |
1051 | Was the attraction, the agitation mutual, then; pole and pole trembling towards contact, when once brought into neighborhood? |
1051 | Was there so much as a fault, a''caprice,''he could have dispensed with? |
1051 | We ask in turn: Why perplex these times, profane as they are, with needless obscurity, by omission and by commission? |
1051 | We figure to ourselves, how in those days he may have played strange freaks with his independence, and so forth: do not his own words betoken as much? |
1051 | Were I a Steam- engine, wouldst thou take the trouble to tell lies of me? |
1051 | Were thy three broad Highways, meeting here from the ends of Europe, made for Ammunition- wagons, then? |
1051 | What Act of Legislature was there that_ thou_ shouldst be Happy? |
1051 | What English intellect could have chosen such a topic, or by chance stumbled on it? |
1051 | What are all your national Wars, with their Moscow Retreats, and sanguinary hate- filled Revolutions, but the Somnambulism of uneasy Sleepers? |
1051 | What are your Axioms, and Categories, and Systems, and Aphorisms? |
1051 | What argument will avail? |
1051 | What cares the world for our as yet miniature Philosopher''s achievements under that"brave old Linden"? |
1051 | What henceforth becomes of the brave Herr Towgood, or Toughgut? |
1051 | What is the use of health, or of life, if not to do some work therewith? |
1051 | What make ye of your Christianities, and Chivalries, and Reformations, and Marseillaise Hymns, and Reigns of Terror? |
1051 | What then? |
1051 | What, for example, are we to make of such sentences as the following? |
1051 | What, for instance, was in that clouted Shoe, which the Peasants bore aloft with them as ensign in their_ Bauernkrieg_( Peasants''War)? |
1051 | What, then, was our Professor''s possession? |
1051 | Whence, then, their so unspeakable difference? |
1051 | Where, then, is that same cunningly devised almighty GOVERNMENT of theirs to be laid hands on? |
1051 | Wherefore, like a coward, dost thou forever pip and whimper, and go cowering and trembling? |
1051 | Wherein consists the usefulness of this Apron? |
1051 | Whereto? |
1051 | Whereupon the Professor publishes this reflection:--"By what strange chances do we live in History? |
1051 | Which function of manhood is the Tailor not conjectured to perform? |
1051 | Whither should I go? |
1051 | Who can refrain from a smile at the yoking together of such a pair of appellatives as Diogenes Teufelsdrockh? |
1051 | Who ever saw any Lord my- lorded in tattered blanket fastened with wooden skewer? |
1051 | Who is there now that can read the five columns of Presentations in his Morning Newspaper without a shudder? |
1051 | Whom I answer by this new question: What are the Laws of Nature? |
1051 | Why can not he lay aside his pedantry, and write so as to make himself generally intelligible? |
1051 | Why mention our disquisitions on the Social Contract, on the Standard of Taste, on the Migrations of the Herring? |
1051 | Why not; what binds me here? |
1051 | Why of Shakspeare, in his_ Taming of the Shrew_, and elsewhere? |
1051 | Why should I speak of Hans Sachs( himself a Shoemaker, or kind of Leather- Tailor), with his_ Schneider mit dem Panier_? |
1051 | Why was the Living banished thither companionless, conscious? |
1051 | Why, if there is no Devil; nay, unless the Devil is your God?" |
1051 | Will Majesty lay aside its robes of state, and Beauty its frills and train- gowns, for a second skin of tanned hide? |
1051 | Will all the shoe- wages under the Moon ferry me across into that far Land of Light? |
1051 | Will the whole Finance Ministers and Upholsterers and Confectioners of modern Europe undertake, in joint- stock company, to make one Shoeblack HAPPY? |
1051 | Wilt thou know a Man, above all a Mankind, by stringing together bead- rolls of what thou namest Facts? |
1051 | Would he have all this unsaid; and us betake ourselves again to the"matted cloak,"and go sheeted in a"thick natural fell"? |
1051 | Writings of mine, not indeed known as mine( for what am I? |
1051 | Yes, long ago has many a British Reader been, as now, demanding with something like a snarl: Whereto does all this lead; or what use is in it? |
1051 | _ Is_ the work a translation?" |
1051 | _ Wo steckt doch der Schalk_? |
1051 | a little while ago, and he was yet in all darkness: him what Graceful(_ Holde_) would ever love? |
1051 | and calls it Peace, because, in the cut- purse and cut- throat Scramble, no steel knives, but only a far cunninger sort, can be employed? |
1051 | cries an illuminated class:''Is not the Machine of the Universe fixed to move by unalterable rules?'' |
1051 | exclaims Teufelsdrockh,"Have we not all to be tried with such? |
1051 | how could he hope it; should he not have died under it? |
1051 | how did he comport himself when in Love? |
1051 | how should they so much as once meet together? |
1051 | thou hast no faculty in that kind? |
1051 | what are these to Clothes and the Tailor''s Goose? |
1051 | what is the sum- total of the worst that lies before thee? |
1051 | what is this paltry little Dog- cage of an Earth; what art thou that sittest whining there? |
1051 | why do I not name thee GOD? |
1051 | why journeyest thou wearisomely, in thy antiquarian fervor, to gaze on the stone pyramids of Geeza, or the clay ones of Sacchara? |
20585 | Have you hope? |
20585 | She looks on thee,cried he:"she the fairest, noblest; do not her dark eyes tell thee, thou art not despised? |
20585 | To which of these Three Religions do you specially adhere? |
20585 | What do I see? |
20585 | Which is the great secret? |
20585 | Why talk and complain; above all, why quarrel with one another? 20585 Wuotan?" |
20585 | & c.& c. Or again, has it often been the lot of our readers to read such stuff as we shall now quote? |
20585 | ''"But is it not the deepest Law of Nature that she be constant?" |
20585 | ''"But is not a real Miracle simply a violation of the Laws of Nature?" |
20585 | ''Again, could anything be more miraculous than an actual authentic Ghost? |
20585 | ''And yet, O Man born of Woman,''cries the Autobiographer, with one of his sudden whirls,''wherein is my case peculiar? |
20585 | ''But if such things,''continues he,''were done in the dry tree, what will be done in the green? |
20585 | ''But thou as yet standest in no Temple; joinest in no Psalm- worship; feelest well that, where there is no ministering Priest, the people perish? |
20585 | ''But what boots it(_ was thut''s_)?'' |
20585 | ''Detect quacks''? |
20585 | ''Do we not see a little subdivision of the grand Utilitarian Armament come to light even in insulated England? |
20585 | ''For whether thou bear a sceptre or a sledgehammer, art thou not ALIVE; is not this thy brother ALIVE? |
20585 | ''Gain influence''? |
20585 | ''Great practical method and expertness''he may brag of; but is there not also great practical pride, though deep- hidden, only the deeper- seated? |
20585 | ''How I lived?'' |
20585 | ''Hypocrisy''? |
20585 | ''I asked myself: What is this that, ever since earliest years, thou hast been fretting and fuming, and lamenting and self- tormenting, on account of? |
20585 | ''Is not Belief the true god- announcing Miracle?'' |
20585 | ''Meanwhile what are antiquated Mythuses to me? |
20585 | ''Nevertheless, need I put the question to any Physiologist, whether it is disputable or not? |

20585 | ''Were it not wonderful, for instance, had Orpheus, or Amphion, built the walls of Thebes by the mere sound of his Lyre? |
20585 | ''What, for example,''says he,''is the universally- arrogated Virtue, almost the sole remaining Catholic Virtue, of these days? |
20585 | ''What, speaking in quite unofficial language, is the net- purport and upshot of war? |

20585 | --He went out for the last time into the mosque, two days before his death; asked, If he had injured any man? |
20585 | A Voice, a Motion, an Appearance;--some embodied, visualised Idea in the Eternal Mind? |
20585 | A false man found a religion? |
20585 | A humble, solitary man, why should he at all meddle with the world? |
20585 | A man embraces truth with his eyes open, and because his eyes are open: does he need to shut them before he can love his Teacher of truth? |
20585 | A man that devotes his life to learning, shall he not be learned? |
20585 | A mean man he, how shall he reform a world? |
20585 | A new Adamite, in this century, which flatters itself that it is the Nineteenth, and destructive both to Superstition and Enthusiasm? |
20585 | A_ great_ man? |
20585 | Accordingly all persons, from the Queen Antoinette to the Douanier at the Porte St. Denis, do they not worship him? |
20585 | Again Thor struck, so soon as Skrymir again slept; a better blow than before: but the Giant only murmured, Was that a grain of sand? |
20585 | Again, leaving that wondrous Schwarzwald Smithy- Altar, what vacant, high- sailing air- ships are these, and whither will they sail with us? |
20585 | Again, what Cookery does the Greenlander use, beyond stowing- up his whale- blubber, as a marmot, in the like case, might do? |
20585 | Again, what may the unchristian rather than Christian"Diogenes"mean? |
20585 | Again,_ Nothing can act but where it is_: with all my heart; only, WHERE is it? |
20585 | Ah, does not every true man feel that he is himself made higher by doing reverence to what is really above him? |
20585 | Alas, is not this the history of all highest Truth that comes or ever came into the world? |
20585 | Alas, was not his doom stern enough? |
20585 | Alas, yes;--but as Cato said of the statue: So many statues in that Forum of yours, may it not be better if they ask, Where is Cato''s statue?" |
20585 | All crowns and sovereignties whatsoever, where would_ they_ in a few brief years be? |
20585 | Am I a botched mass of tailors''and cobblers''shreds, then; or a tightly- articulated, homogeneous little Figure, automatic, nay alive? |
20585 | Am I to view the Stupendous with stupid indifference, because I have seen it twice, or two- hundred, or two- million times? |
20585 | An unmetaphorical style you shall in vain seek for: is not your very_ Attention_ a_ Stretching- to_? |
20585 | And accordingly was there not what we can call a_ faith_ in him, genuine so far as it went? |
20585 | And did he not interpret the dim purport of it well? |
20585 | And if_ true_, was it not then the very thing to do? |
20585 | And indeed may we not say that intellect altogether expresses itself in this power of discerning what an object is? |
20585 | And knowest thou no Prophet, even in the vesture, environment, and dialect of this age? |
20585 | And now does the Spiritual, eternal Essence of Man, and of Mankind, bared of such wrappages, begin in any measure to reveal itself? |
20585 | And now in this sense, one may ask, Is not all worship whatsoever a worship by Symbols, by_ eidola_, or things seen? |
20585 | And now of you, too, I make the old inquiry: What those same unalterable rules, forming the complete Statute- Book of Nature, may possibly be? |
20585 | And now still, what hinders it from being the name of a Heroic Man and_ Mover_, as well as of a god? |
20585 | And now, for all this perennial Martyrdom, and Poesy, and even Prophecy, what is it that the Dandy asks in return? |
20585 | And then the''honour''? |
20585 | And then? |
20585 | And thereupon the unbelievers sneer and ask, Is this your man according to God''s own heart? |
20585 | And we call it''dissimulation,''all this? |
20585 | And what therefore is loyalty proper, the life- breath of all society, but an effluence of Hero- worship, submissive admiration for the truly great? |
20585 | And who are you that prate of Constitutional Formulas, rights of Parliament? |
20585 | And yet what were all Emperors, Popes and Potentates, in comparison? |
20585 | And yet withal this hypochondria, what was it but the very greatness of the man? |
20585 | And yet, thou brave Teufelsdröckh, who could tell what lurked in thee? |
20585 | Answer it;_ thou_ must find an answer.--Ambition? |
20585 | Are not all dialects''artificial''? |
20585 | Are not our Bodies and our Souls in continual movement, whether we will or not; in a continual Waste, requiring a continual Repair? |
20585 | Are not you yourselves there? |
20585 | Are they base, miserable things? |
20585 | Are they not Souls rendered visible: in Bodies, that took shape and will lose it, melting into air? |
20585 | Are we not Spirits, that are shaped into a body, into an Appearance; and that fade- away again into air and Invisibility? |
20585 | Are we returning, as Rousseau prayed, to the state of Nature? |
20585 | Are we to suppose that it was a miserable piece of spiritual legerdemain, this which so many creatures of the Almighty have lived by and died by? |
20585 | Art not thou the"Living Garment of God"? |
20585 | Art thou not tired, and beaten with stripes, even as I am? |
20585 | Art thou the malignest of Sansculottists, or only the maddest? |
20585 | As for the Old Woman, she was_ Time_, Old Age, Duration; with her what can wrestle? |
20585 | Ask now, What Paganism could have been? |
20585 | At a small cost men are educated to make leather into shoes; but at a great cost, what am I educated to make? |
20585 | Ay, what? |
20585 | Bad methods: but are they so much worse than our methods,--of understanding him to be always the eldest born of a certain genealogy? |
20585 | Ballot- boxes, suffrages, French Revolutions:--if we are as Valets, and do not know the Hero when we see him, what good are all these? |
20585 | Because the THOU( sweet gentleman) is not sufficiently honoured, nourished, soft- bedded, and lovingly cared for? |
20585 | Begging is not in our course at the present time: but for the rest of it, who will say that a Johnson is not perhaps the better for being poor? |
20585 | Besides, of what profit were it? |
20585 | Bright, nimble creatures, who taught_ you_ the mason- craft; nay, stranger still, gave you a masonic incorporation, almost social police? |
20585 | But alas, what help now? |
20585 | But call it worship, call it what you will, is it not a right glorious thing, and set of things, this that Shakspeare has brought us? |
20585 | But how came''the Wanderer''into her circle? |
20585 | But how shall we blame_ him_ for struggling to realise it? |
20585 | But how was this to be done? |
20585 | But if you ask, Which is the worst? |
20585 | But indeed that strange outbudding of our whole English Existence, which we call the Elizabethan Era, did not it too come as of its own accord? |
20585 | But is not this same looking through the Shows, or Vestures, into the Things, even the first preliminary to a_ Philosophy of Clothes_? |
20585 | But nobler than all in this kind, are the Lives of heroic god- inspired Men; for what other Work of Art is so divine? |
20585 | But now, intrinsically, is not all this the inevitable fortune, not of a false man in such times, but simply of a superior man? |
20585 | But what does the writer mean by''Baphometic fire- baptism''? |
20585 | But what next? |
20585 | But what of the awestruck Wakeful who find it a Reality? |
20585 | But what then? |
20585 | But what then? |
20585 | But what was her surname, or had she none? |
20585 | But whence?--O Heaven, whither? |
20585 | But why,''says the Hofrath, and indeed say we,''do I dilate on the uses of our Teufelsdröckh''s Biography? |
20585 | But would it be a kindness always, is it a duty always or often, to disturb them in that? |
20585 | But, alas, what vehicle of that sort have we, except_ Fraser''s Magazine_? |
20585 | By way of proem, take the following not injudicious remarks:''The benignant efficacies of Concealment,''cries our Professor,''who shall speak or sing? |
20585 | By which last wiredrawn similitude does Teufelsdröckh mean no more than that young men find obstacles in what we call''getting under way''? |
20585 | Can I choose my own King? |
20585 | Can a Tartar be said to cook, when he only readies his steak by riding on it? |
20585 | Can any Sovereign, or Holy Alliance of Sovereigns, bid Time stand still; even in thought, shake themselves free of Time? |
20585 | Can he not arrest for debt? |
20585 | Can not a man do without King''s Coaches and Cloaks? |
20585 | Can not we conceive that Odin was a reality? |
20585 | Can not we understand how these men_ worshipped_ Canopus; became what we call Sabeans, worshipping the stars? |
20585 | Can the man say,_ Fiat lux_, Let there be light; and out of chaos make a world? |
20585 | Can we not understand him? |
20585 | Come there not tones of Love and Faith, as from celestial harp- strings, like the Song of beautified Souls? |
20585 | Compared with any speaker or singer one knows, even with Æschylus or Homer, why should he not, for veracity and universality, last like them? |
20585 | Could she have driven so much as a brass- bound Gig, or even a simple iron- spring one? |
20585 | Creative, we said: poetic creation, what is this too but_ seeing_ the thing sufficiently? |
20585 | Death? |
20585 | Did Hero- worship fail in Knox''s case? |
20585 | Did he never stand so much as a contested Election? |
20585 | Did he not, in spite of all, accomplish much for us? |
20585 | Did not the Boy Alexander weep because he had not two Planets to conquer; or a whole Solar System; or after that, a whole Universe? |
20585 | Did that reverend Basket- bearer intend, by such designation, to shadow- forth my future destiny, or his own present malign humour? |
20585 | Did the Westminster Confession of Faith add some new property to the soul of man? |
20585 | Do not Books still accomplish_ miracles_ as_ Runes_ were fabled to do? |
20585 | Do not we feel it so? |
20585 | Do our readers discern any such corner- stone, or even so much as what Teufelsdröckh is looking at? |
20585 | Do we not see well enough how the Fable might arise, without unveracity on the part of any one? |
20585 | Does Legion still lurk in him, though repressed; or has he exorcised that Devil''s Brood? |
20585 | Does any reader''in the interior parts of England''know of such a man? |
20585 | Does like join itself to like; does the spirit of method stir in that confusion, so that its embroilment becomes order? |
20585 | Does not the following glimpse exhibit him in a much more natural state? |
20585 | Dost thou, does man, so much as well know the Alphabet thereof? |
20585 | Each one of us here, let the world go how it will, and be victorious or not victorious, has he not a Life of his own to lead? |
20585 | Effect? |
20585 | England, Scotland, Ireland, all lying now subdued at the feet of the Puritan Parliament, the practical question arose, What was to be done with it? |
20585 | Ever the constitutional Formula: How came_ you_ there? |
20585 | Every such man is the born enemy of Disorder; hates to be in it: but what then? |
20585 | Fame, ambition, place in History? |
20585 | Faults? |
20585 | For Matter, were it never so despicable, is Spirit, the manifestation of Spirit: were it never so honourable, can it be more? |
20585 | For have not I too a compact all- enclosing Skin, whiter or dingier? |
20585 | For is not a Symbol ever, to him who has eyes for it, some dimmer or clearer revelation of the Godlike? |
20585 | For our honour among foreign nations, as an ornament to our English Household, what item is there that we would not surrender rather than him? |
20585 | For this world, and for all worlds, what curse is so fatal? |
20585 | For what is it properly but an Altercation with the Devil, before you begin honestly Fighting him? |
20585 | For which reason it was to be altered, not without underhand satire, into a plainer Symbol? |
20585 | For which, as for other mercies, ought not he to thank the Upper Powers? |
20585 | Forger and juggler? |
20585 | From of old, a thousand thoughts, in his pilgrimings and wanderings, had been in this man: What am I? |
20585 | From of old, was there not in his life a weight of meaning, a terror and a splendour as of Heaven itself? |
20585 | From which is it not clear that the internal Satanic School was still active enough? |
20585 | Given your Hero, is he to become Conqueror, King, Philosopher, Poet? |
20585 | God has made many revelations: but this man too, has not God made him, the latest and newest of all? |
20585 | Had Teufelsdröckh also a father and mother; did he, at one time, wear drivel- bibs, and live on spoon- meat? |
20585 | Had not my first, last Faith in myself, when even to me the Heavens seemed laid open, and I dared to love, been all- too cruelly belied? |
20585 | Had these men any quarrel? |
20585 | Hadst thou not Greek enough to understand thus much:_ The end of Man is an Action, and not a Thought_, though it were the noblest? |
20585 | Hadst thou, any more than I, a Father whom thou knowest? |
20585 | Has he not solved for them the sphinx- enigma of this Universe; given assurance to them of their own destiny there? |
20585 | Has he not the power of articulate Thinking; and many other powers, as yet miraculous? |
20585 | Has it not_ been_, in this world, as a practised fact? |
20585 | Has not each man a soul? |
20585 | Hast thou not a Brain, furnished, furnishable with some glimmerings of Light; and three fingers to hold a Pen withal? |
20585 | Hast thou well considered all that lies in this immeasurable froth- ocean we name LITERATURE? |
20585 | Have any deepest scientific individuals yet dived- down to the foundations of the Universe, and gauged everything there? |
20585 | Have we not seen him disappointed, bemocked of Destiny, through long years? |
20585 | He asked of the Parliament, What it was they would decide upon? |
20585 | He can say to himself:''Tools? |
20585 | He courts no notice: what could notice here do for him? |
20585 | He exclaims,''Or hast thou forgotten Paris and Voltaire? |
20585 | He has the power of holding his peace over many things which do not vitally concern him,--"They? |
20585 | He is the fatal man; unutterably fatal, put in the high places of men.--"Why complain of this?" |
20585 | He was a great_ ébauche_, a rude- draught never completed; as indeed what great man is other? |
20585 | He was a weak child, they told him; could he lift that Cat he saw there? |
20585 | Hear in what earnest though fantastic wise he expresses himself on this head:''Shall Courtesy be done only to the rich, and only by the rich? |
20585 | Here, looking round, as was our hest, for''organic filaments,''we ask, may not this, touching''Hero- worship,''be of the number? |
20585 | Hero- worship,--Odin, Burns? |
20585 | Hero- worship? |
20585 | His love of Music, indeed, is not this, as it were, the summary of all these affections in him? |
20585 | His scorn, his grief are as transcendent as his love;--as indeed, what are they but the_ inverse_ or_ converse_ of his love? |
20585 | Homer yet_ is_, veritably present face to face with every open soul of us; and Greece, where is_ it_? |
20585 | Hot weather? |
20585 | How came he not to study his words a little, before flinging them out to the public? |
20585 | How came it that the Wanderer advanced thither with such forecasting heart(_ ahndungsvoll_), by the side of his gay host? |
20585 | How came it to evaporate, and not lie motionless? |
20585 | How can a man act heroically? |
20585 | How could a man travel forward from rustic deer- poaching to such tragedy- writing, and not fall- in with sorrows by the way? |
20585 | How could he? |
20585 | How could it else? |
20585 | How could the rude Earth make these, if her Essence, rugged as she looks and is, were not inwardly Beauty? |
20585 | How from such inorganic masses, henceforth madder than ever, as lie in these Bags, can even fragments of a living delineation be organised? |
20585 | How happens it that no intelligence about the matter has come out directly to this country? |
20585 | How is this; or what make ye of your_ Nothing can act but where it is_? |
20585 | How much does one of us foresee of his own life? |
20585 | How shall he stand otherwise? |
20585 | How shall_ he_ give kindling, in whose own inward man there is no live coal, but all is burnt- out to a dead grammatical cinder? |
20585 | How then could I believe in my Strength, when there was as yet no mirror to see it in? |
20585 | How then? |
20585 | How thou fermentest and elaboratest, in thy great fermenting- vat and laboratory of an Atmosphere, of a World, O Nature!--Or what is Nature? |
20585 | How to regulate that struggle? |
20585 | How was it, what was it? |
20585 | How was this? |
20585 | How will you govern these Nations, which Providence in a wondrous way has given- up to your disposal? |
20585 | How? |
20585 | However, that is not our chief grievance; the Professor continues:''Why multiply instances? |
20585 | Hypocrite, mummer, the life of him a mere theatricality; empty barren quack, hungry for the shouts of mobs? |
20585 | I do not assert Mahomet''s continual sincerity: who is continually sincere? |
20585 | I said that Imagination wove this Flesh- Garment; and does not she? |
20585 | I? |
20585 | If Hero mean_ sincere man_, why may not every one of us be a Hero? |
20585 | If he loved his Disenchantress? |
20585 | If he owed any man? |
20585 | If it prove otherwise, why should he murmur? |
20585 | If our era is the Era of Unbelief, why murmur under it; is there not a better coming, nay come? |
20585 | If so, what are those_ Prize- Questions_; what are the terms of Competition, and when and where? |
20585 | In Death too, in the Death of the Just, as the last perfection of a Work of Art, may we not discern symbolic meaning? |
20585 | In Pagan countries, can not one write Fetishes? |
20585 | In all that respects openness of Sense, affectionate Temper, ingenuous Curiosity, and the fostering of these, what more could I have wished? |
20585 | In all this what''hypocrisy,''''ambition,''''ca nt,''or other falsity? |
20585 | In fact, if a man have any purpose reaching beyond the hour and day, meant to be found extant_ next_ day, what good can it ever be to promulgate lies? |
20585 | In like manner, ask me not, Where are the LAWS; where is the GOVERNMENT? |
20585 | In such circumstances what was needed? |
20585 | In the commonest meeting of men, a person making, what we call,''set speeches,''is not he an offence? |
20585 | In the one sense and in the other, are we not right glad to possess it? |
20585 | In the same direction have not we their descendants since carried it far? |
20585 | In which country, in which time, was it hitherto that man''s history, or the history of any man, went on by calculated or calculable"Motives"? |
20585 | In which words, indicating a total estrangement on the part of Teufelsdröckh, may there not also lurk traces of a bitterness as from wounded vanity? |
20585 | Increased Security and pleasurable Heat soon followed: but what of these? |
20585 | Independence, in all kinds, is rebellion; if unjust rebellion, why parade it, and everywhere prescribe it?'' |
20585 | Influence? |
20585 | Is he not in most countries a tax- paying animal? |
20585 | Is it by short- clothes of yellow serge, and swineherd horns, that an infant of genius is educated? |
20585 | Is it even of business, a matter to be done? |
20585 | Is it of a truth leading us into beatific Asphodel meadows, or the yellow- burning marl of a Hell- on- Earth? |
20585 | Is it such a blessedness to have clerks forever pestering you with bundles of papers in red tape? |
20585 | Is not God''s Universe a Symbol of the Godlike; is not Immensity a Temple; is not Man''s History, and Men''s History, a perpetual Evangel? |
20585 | Is not Shame(_ Schaam_) the soil of all Virtue, of all good manners and good morals? |
20585 | Is not a man''s walking, in truth, always that:''a succession of falls''? |
20585 | Is not all work of man in this world a_ making of Order_? |
20585 | Is not every leaf of it a biography, every fibre there an act or word? |
20585 | Is not he a Temple, then; the visible Manifestation and Impersonation of the Divinity? |
20585 | Is not such a prize worth some striving? |
20585 | Is not that a sign?'' |
20585 | Is not this the sincerest yet rudest voice of the spirit of man? |
20585 | Is that a real Elysian brightness, cries many a timid wayfarer, or the reflex of Pandemonian lava? |
20585 | Is that a wonder, which happens in two hours; and does it cease to be wonderful if happening in two million? |
20585 | Is the Past annihilated, then, or only past; is the Future non- extant, or only future? |
20585 | Is the heroic inspiration we name Virtue but some Passion; some bubble of the blood, bubbling in the direction others_ profit_ by? |
20585 | Is the pitifullest mortal Person, think you, indifferent to us? |
20585 | It is like Pococke asking Grotius, Where is your_ proof_ of Mahomet''s Pigeon? |
20585 | It was Superstition, Fanaticism, disgraceful Ignorance of Constitutional Philosophy to insist on the other thing!--Liberty to_ tax_ oneself? |
20585 | Joyful to men as the dawning of day from night;_ is_ it not, indeed, the awakening for them from no- being into being, from death into life? |
20585 | Knowest thou none such? |
20585 | Knowest thou that"_ Worship of Sorrow_"? |
20585 | Let the Philosopher answer this one question: What figure, at that period, was a Mrs. Teufelsdröckh likely to make in polished society? |
20585 | Liberty of judgment? |
20585 | Lives the man that can figure a naked Duke of Windlestraw addressing a naked House of Lords? |
20585 | Man is called a Laughing Animal: but do not the apes also laugh, or attempt to do it; and is the manliest man the greatest and oftenest laugher? |
20585 | May we not call Shakspeare the still more melodious Priest of a_ true_ Catholicism, the''Universal Church''of the Future and of all times? |
20585 | Meanwhile, for Andreas and his wife, the grand practical problem was: What to do with this little sleeping red- coloured Infant? |
20585 | Meanwhile, the question of questions were: What specially is a Miracle? |
20585 | Meanwhile, what portion of this inconsiderable terraqueous Globe have ye actually tilled and delved, till it will grow no more? |
20585 | Men speak much of the Printing- Press with its Newspapers:_ du Himmel!_ what are these to Clothes and the Tailor''s Goose?'' |
20585 | Mighty fleets and armies, harbours and arsenals, vast cities, high- domed, many- engined,--they are precious, great: but what do they become? |
20585 | Mirabeau''s ambition to be Prime Minister, how shall we blame it, if he were''the only man in France that could have done any good there''? |
20585 | Miracles? |
20585 | Money? |
20585 | Morality itself, what we call the moral quality of a man, what is this but another_ side_ of the one vital Force whereby he is and works? |
20585 | Mother of God? |
20585 | Mother? |
20585 | Namely, that while the Beacon- fire blazed its brightest, the Watchman had quitted it; that no pilgrim could now ask him: Watchman, what of the Night? |
20585 | Names? |
20585 | Napoleon looking up into the stars, answers,"Very ingenious, Messieurs: but_ who made_ all that?" |
20585 | Napoleon''s working, accordingly, what was it with all the noise it made? |
20585 | Nay I may ask, Is not every true Reformer, by the nature of him, a_ Priest_ first of all? |
20585 | Nay here in these pages, such as they are, have we not two mere Poets, if not deified, yet we may say beatified? |
20585 | Nay not only our preaching, but even our worship, is not it too accomplished by means of Printed Books? |
20585 | Nay, a man preaching from his earnest_ soul_ into the earnest_ souls_ of men: is not this virtually the essence of all Churches whatsoever? |
20585 | Nay, at bottom, what else is alive_ but_ Protestantism? |
20585 | Nay, even for the basest Sensualist, what is Sense but the implement of Fantasy; the vessel it drinks out of? |
20585 | Nay, has not perhaps the Motive- grinder himself been_ in Love_? |
20585 | Nay, in any case, would Criticism erect not only finger- posts and turnpikes, but spiked gates and impassable barriers, for the mind of man? |
20585 | Nay, is it not what all zealous men, whether called Priests, Prophets, or whatsoever else called, do essentially wish, and must wish? |
20585 | Nevertheless, wayward as our Professor shows himself, is there any reader that can part with him in declared enmity? |
20585 | Nevertheless, which of the two was the more cunningly- devised article, even as an Engine? |
20585 | Nevertheless, you will say, there must be a difference between true Poetry and true Speech not poetical: what is the difference? |
20585 | Not so Cromwell:"For all our fighting,"says he,"we are to have a little bit of paper?" |
20585 | Not to pay- out money from your pocket except on reason shown? |
20585 | Notoriety: what would that do for him? |
20585 | O Heavens, is it, in very deed, HE, then, that ever speaks through thee; that lives and loves in thee, that lives and loves in me? |
20585 | Of Odin what history? |
20585 | Of a man or of a nation we inquire, therefore, first of all, What religion they had? |
20585 | Of all acts, is not, for a man,_ repentance_ the most divine? |
20585 | Of what station in Life was she; of what parentage, fortune, aspect? |
20585 | Oliver''s life at St Ives or Ely, as a sober industrious Farmer, is it not altogether as that of a true and devout man? |
20585 | Once more I say, sweep away the illusion of Time; compress the threescore years into three minutes: what else was he, what else are we? |
20585 | Only a torch for burning, no hammer for building? |
20585 | Or are we made of other clay now? |
20585 | Or coming into lower, less_ un_speakable provinces, is not all Loyalty akin to religious Faith also? |
20585 | Or even where is the use of such practical reflections as the following? |
20585 | Or has the Professor his own deeper intention; and laughs in his sleeve at our strictures and glosses, which indeed are but a part thereof? |
20585 | Or hast thou forgotten the day when thou first receivedst breeches, and thy long clothes became short? |
20585 | Or how, without Clothes, could we possess the master- organ, soul''s seat, and true pineal gland of the Body Social: I mean, a PURSE?'' |
20585 | Or indeed what of the world and its victories? |
20585 | Or is the God present, felt in my own heart, a thing which Herr von Voltaire will dispute out of me; or dispute into me? |
20585 | Or is this merely one of his half- sophisms, half- truisms, which if he can but set on the back of a Figure, he cares not whither it gallop? |
20585 | Or was there something of intended satire; is the Professor and Seer not quite the blinkard he affects to be? |
20585 | Or what of Scotland? |
20585 | Or, on the other hand, what is there that we can not love; since all was created by God? |
20585 | Our own Wednesday, as I said, is it not still Odin''s Day? |
20585 | Over- population: With a world like ours and wide as ours, can there be too many men? |
20585 | Peace? |
20585 | Perhaps also in the following; wherewith we now hasten to knit- up this ravelled sleeve:''But there is no Religion?'' |
20585 | Plummet''s? |
20585 | Popeship, spiritual Fatherhood of God''s Church, is that a vain semblance, of cloth and parchment? |
20585 | Possible? |
20585 | Precious they; but also is not he precious? |
20585 | Pure? |
20585 | Really his utterances, are they not a kind of''revelation;''--what we must call such for want of some other name? |
20585 | Reform Bill, free suffrage of Englishmen? |
20585 | Remarkable, moreover, is this saying of his:''How were Friendship possible? |
20585 | Rest? |
20585 | Said I not, Before the old skin was shed, the new had formed itself beneath it?'' |
20585 | Say it in a word: is it not because thou art not HAPPY? |
20585 | Seems it not at least presumable, that, under his Clothes, the Tailor has bones and viscera, and other muscles than the sartorious? |
20585 | Seldom reflecting that still the new question comes upon us: What is Madness, what are Nerves? |
20585 | Shall I not have all Eternity to rest in?" |
20585 | Shall we say, then, Dante''s effect on the world was small in comparison? |
20585 | She was a widow; old, and had lost her looks: you love me better than you did her?" |
20585 | Some one''s doing, it without doubt was; from some Idea, in some single Head, it did first of all take beginning: why not from some Idea in mine?'' |
20585 | Spake we not of a Communion of Saints, unseen, yet not unreal, accompanying and brother- like embracing thee, so thou be worthy? |
20585 | Stands he not thereby in the centre of Immensities, in the conflux of Eternities? |
20585 | Sure enough, I am; and lately was not: but Whence? |
20585 | Sword and Bible were borne before him, without any chimera: were not these the_ real_ emblems of Puritanism; its true decoration and insignia? |
20585 | Taxgatherer? |
20585 | Than which paragraph on Metaphors did the reader ever chance to see a more surprisingly metaphorical? |
20585 | That living flood, pouring through these streets, of all qualities and ages, knowest thou whence it is coming, whither it is going? |
20585 | That_ he_ stood there as the strongest soul of England, the undisputed Hero of all England,--what of this? |
20585 | The Age of Miracles past? |
20585 | The Atheistic logic runs- off from him like water; the great Fact stares him in the face:"Who made all that?" |
20585 | The Giant merely awoke; rubbed his cheek, and said, Did a leaf fall? |
20585 | The Overseer(_ Episcopus_) of Souls, I notice, has tucked- in the corner of it, as if his day''s work were done: what does he shadow forth thereby?'' |
20585 | The Poet indeed, with his mildness, what is he but the product and ultimate adjustment of Reform, or Prophecy with its fierceness? |
20585 | The Prophet too has his eye on what we are to love: how else shall he know what it is we are to do? |
20585 | The Time call forth? |
20585 | The Writer of a Book, is not he a Preacher preaching not to this parish or that, on this day or that, but to all men in all times and places? |
20585 | The builder_ cast away_ his plummet; said to himself,"What is gravitation? |
20585 | The crabbed old Schoolmaster used to ask, when they brought him a new pupil,"But are ye sure he''s_ not a dunce_?" |
20585 | The eye too, it looks- out as in a kind of_ surprise_, a kind of inquiry, Why the world was of such a sort? |
20585 | The first ground handful of Nitre, Sulphur, and Charcoal drove Monk Schwartz''s pestle through the ceiling: what will the last do? |
20585 | The human Reynard, very frequent everywhere in the world, what more does he know but this and the like of this? |
20585 | The light which now rose upon them,--how could a human soul, by any means at all, get better light? |
20585 | The poor old Mother!----What had this man gained; what had he gained? |
20585 | The rough words he articulated, are they not the rudimental roots of those English words we still use? |
20585 | The stirring of a child''s finger brings the two together; and then-- What then? |
20585 | The thunder- struck Air- sailor is not wanting to himself in this dread hour: but what avails it? |
20585 | The uses of this Dante? |
20585 | The voice of Prophecy has gone dumb? |
20585 | The withered leaf is not dead and lost, there are Forces in it and around it, though working in inverse order; else how could it_ rot_? |
20585 | The world''s heart is palsied, sick: how can any limb of it be whole? |
20585 | The world- wide soul wrapt- up in its thoughts, in its sorrows;--what could paradings, and ribbons in the hat, do for it? |
20585 | The''imagination that shudders at the Hell of Dante,''is not that the same faculty, weaker in degree, as Dante''s own? |
20585 | Then, have we not a Doctrine of Rent, a Theory of Value; Philosophies of Language, of History, of Pottery, of Apparitions, of Intoxicating Liquors? |
20585 | There are not wanting men who will answer: Does your Professor take us for simpletons? |
20585 | Therefrom he preaches what most momentous doctrine is in him, for man''s salvation; and dost not thou listen, and believe? |
20585 | These Limbs, whence had we them; this stormy Force; this life- blood with its burning Passion? |
20585 | These are Apparitions: what else? |
20585 | They are lamentable, undeniable; but after all what has Luther or his cause to do with them? |
20585 | They called him Prophet, you say? |
20585 | They say scornfully, Is this your King? |
20585 | Think, would_ we_ believe, and take with us as our life- guidance, an allegory, a poetic sport? |
20585 | Thinkest thou there is aught motionless; without Force, and utterly dead? |
20585 | This I call a noble true purpose; is it not, In its own dialect, the noblest that could enter into the heart of Statesman or man? |
20585 | This Rome, this scene of false priests, clothed not in the beauty of holiness, but in far other vesture, is_ false_: but what is it to Luther? |
20585 | This Universe, ah me-- what could the wild man know of it; what can we yet know? |
20585 | This body, these faculties, this life of ours, is it not all as a vesture for that Unnamed? |
20585 | This indeed is properly the sum of his offences, the essential sin; for which what pardon can there be? |
20585 | This is even what I dispute: but in any case, hast thou not still Preaching enough? |
20585 | This is the Work he and his disciples made so much of, asking all the world, Is not that a miracle? |
20585 | This night the watchman on the streets of Cairo when he cries"Who goes?" |
20585 | This was imperfect enough: but to welcome, for example, a Burns as we did, was that what we can call perfect? |
20585 | Thou art still Nothing, Nobody: true; but who, then, is Something, Somebody? |
20585 | Thou hast no Tools? |
20585 | Thou thyself, wert thou not born, wilt thou not die? |
20585 | Though all men walk by them, what good is it? |
20585 | Thought, true labour of any kind, highest virtue itself, is it not the daughter of Pain? |
20585 | Thus has not the Editor himself, working over Teufelsdröckh''s German, lost much of his own English purity? |
20585 | Thus, were it not miraculous, could I stretch forth my hand and clutch the Sun? |
20585 | Thy very Hatred, thy very Envy, those foolish lies thou tellest of me in thy splenetic humour: what is all this but an inverted Sympathy? |
20585 | Till it do come, what have we? |
20585 | Till we know that, what is all our knowledge; how shall we even so much as''detect''? |
20585 | To be Sheik of Mecca or Arabia, and have a bit of gilt wood put into your hand,--will that be one''s salvation? |
20585 | To the eye of Pure Reason what is he? |
20585 | To the"_ Worship of Sorrow_"ascribe what origin and genesis thou pleasest,_ has_ not that Worship originated, and been generated; is it not_ here_? |
20585 | To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not a God made visible, if we will open our minds and eyes? |
20585 | True, you may well ask, What could the world, the governors of the world, do with such a man? |
20585 | Unhappy Teufelsdröckh, had man ever such a''physical or psychical infirmity''before? |
20585 | Utility? |
20585 | Want, want!--Ha, of what? |
20585 | Was Luther''s Picture of the Devil less a Reality, whether it were formed within the bodily eye, or without it? |
20585 | Was Teufelsdröckh also a fringe, of lace or cobweb; or promising to be such? |
20585 | Was her real name Flora, then? |
20585 | Was it Heathenism,--plurality of gods, mere sensuous representation of this Mystery of Life, and for chief recognised element therein Physical Force? |
20585 | Was it by the humid vehicle of_ Æsthetic Tea_, or by the arid one of mere Business? |
20585 | Was it his blame? |
20585 | Was it not the humble sincere nature of the man? |
20585 | Was it not the still higher Orpheus, or Orpheuses, who, in past centuries, by the divine Music of Wisdom, succeeded in civilising Man? |
20585 | Was it not_ true_, God''s truth? |
20585 | Was not such a Parliament worth being a member of? |
20585 | Was not the purpose so formed like to be precisely the best, wisest, the one to be followed without hesitation any more? |
20585 | Was not the whole Norse Religion, accordingly, in some sense, what we called''the enormous shadow of this man''s likeness''? |
20585 | Was she not to him in very deed a Morning- Star; did not her presence bring with it airs from Heaven? |
