4111 | The Spaniards? |
4112 | What did I tell you? |
4112 | He did not spread out his hands and say,"This is what I have done: it is the best I can do; how are you going to treat me?" |
4112 | Who would go out against Caonabo, the Goliath of the island? |
4110 | Why did the man not get it all from him? |
4110 | Had they any cinnamon or spices? |
4110 | Had they any gold or pearls? |
4108 | If others had done so much, and the field was still half unexplored, could not he do something also? |
4108 | Is it unreasonable to picture, on an earth spinning eastward, a treadmill rush of feet to follow the sinking light? |
4108 | On the 11th of December the little fleet set sail for[ from? |
4108 | What is there beyond? |
4113 | What right has he to give away my vassals? |
4113 | And if you want to add a touch of absurdity, what about the Garden of Eden and the Great Khan? |
4113 | Money was continually being spent on ships and supplies; where was the return for it? |
4113 | Was he, in his relations with Spain and the world, a trader in the names rather than the substance of things? |
4113 | What about the Land of Spices? |
4113 | What about the Ophir of Solomon? |
4113 | What about the pearls? |
4115 | Did he reflect, I wonder, that some part of the responsibility of all this horror rested on him? |
4115 | If I[ lie?] |
4115 | Properly considered, Columbus''s fame should rest simply on the answer to the single question,"Did he discover new lands as he said he would?" |
4115 | What is the final image that remains in our minds of such a man? |
4109 | He has actually come from Santa Fe? |
4109 | Is the little boy his son? |
4109 | Surely now there will be a chance for him? |
4109 | What is his business? |
4109 | What is the explanation of it? |
4109 | What is the stranger''s name? |
4109 | Where does he come from? |
4109 | Where is he going to? |
4114 | To embark? |
4114 | Villegio,he asked sadly,"where are you taking me?" |
4114 | Answer me, who has afflicted thee so much and so many times-- God or the world? |
4114 | Here is my plan: you have a good canoe; why should some one not go over to Espanola in it and send back a ship for us?" |
4114 | It was necessary to establish communication with Espanola, and thence with Spain; but how to do it in the absence of ships or even boats? |
4114 | One writes or reads the words, but what does it mean to us? |
4114 | What did He more for Moses? |
4114 | What did He more for the people of Israel when He brought them out of Egypt? |
4114 | Who would believe such a thing where there was always so much magnanimity? |
4114 | and for David His servant? |
4114 | are you speaking the truth?" |
4114 | or yet for David, whom from being a shepherd He made King of Judea? |
15336 | Abraham was above a hundred years when he begat Isaac; and was Sarah youthful? |
15336 | And if so, what did she see there? |
15336 | And what were they like? |
15336 | He began to think, was it for him to hope to discover that land which had been hidden from so many princes? |
15336 | Or for David, whom, from being it shepherd, He made a king in Judaea? |
15336 | Was there mind and soul enough in them for them to become good Christians? |
15336 | Were they worthy of the efforts which the Old World had made to find them? |
15336 | What did He more for Moses, or for His servant David, than He has done for thee? |
15336 | What did He more for the great people of Israel, when He led them forth from Egypt? |
15336 | What impression did they make on him? |
15336 | What says the greatest of the men who first saw them? |
15336 | When vexed by the question"Who art thou?" |
15336 | Who hath afflicted thee so much, and so many times, God, or the world? |
15336 | Would it not, he thought, be ingratitude to God, who thus moved his mind to these attempts, if he were to desist from his work, or be negligent in it? |
1488 | Why, how can the earth be round? |
1488 | And how did your little brother or sister feel when it was known that you were not just certain whether you were right or not? |
1488 | And yet what man to- day is more highly honored than Christopher Columbus? |
1488 | At last, over the water he heard the sound of oars-- or was it the dip of a paddle? |
1488 | But did Columbus discover America? |
1488 | But where are my men at the fort? |
1488 | Did you ever set out, in the dark, to walk with your little brother or sister along a road you did not know much about or had never gone over before? |
1488 | Do you not think Columbus must have felt very fine as he sailed out of Cadiz Harbor on his second voyage to the West? |
1488 | Do you remember what the Bible says about the blind leading the blind? |
1488 | Do you wonder that he felt proud? |
1488 | Does it not seem a pity that so great a man should have acted so meanly toward these innocent people who loved and trusted him so? |
1488 | How would it all turn out? |
1488 | If it is round, he said to himself,"what is the use of trying to sail around Africa to get to Cathay? |
1488 | Is not this so? |
1488 | It was almost another case of the blind leading the blind, was it not? |
1488 | It was not an easy thing to do, was it? |
1488 | Now, how does this story that we have been reading together turn out? |
1488 | That was a curious way to discover Cathay, was it not? |
1488 | To hear of a great man who has fallen low or of a rich man who has become poor, always makes us say: Is not that too bad? |
1488 | Was it Cathay? |
1488 | Was it not a sad and sorry ending to his bright dreams of success? |
1488 | Was not that singular? |
1488 | Were they not fearfully"scarey?" |
1488 | What if he does ask a great deal? |
1488 | What should he do? |
1488 | What was it? |
1488 | What would he have seen? |
1488 | Whenever you start to read a story that you hope will be interesting, you always wonder, do you not, how it is going to turn out? |
1488 | Where was it? |
1488 | Why not just sail west from Italy or Spain and keep going right around the world until you strike Cathay? |
1488 | Why, who has done this? |
1488 | You do n''t think it ended happily, do you? |
1488 | sail away around the world? |
63173 | And for what does her Majesty, the Queen, wish me to return? |
63173 | And why,cried Prince Juan, shaking Diego,"can not I see that glorious sight as well as you and Don Felipe?" |
63173 | But, my father,answered Diego,"do you think that I am not, after all, human, and that I am not filled with pride at the thought of being your son? |
63173 | Could you, my Lord Duke, grant the request of this young man? |
63173 | Does Don Felipe know? |
63173 | Doña Christina, will you say to the Princess Katharine and to Doña Luisita that they may be present to see the exercises in the manège? |
63173 | I wonder,said Diego,"if we will find at the castle your cousin, Don Tomaso de Gama, the daredevil knight of whom you have so often told me? |
63173 | Is the castle of Langara very grand? |
63173 | What does it mean? |
63173 | When will your father return? |
63173 | Where are your ten men- at- arms, Don Tomaso? |
63173 | Are you frightened at the thought of the court?" |
63173 | But in the morning my father asked me:"''Diego, do you like this place?'' |
63173 | Do you think our great Queen Isabella in the place of the Moorish king would have so acted? |
63173 | Do you understand this?" |
63173 | Do you understand?" |
63173 | Fernando''s first question was:"Diego, when will our father come back?" |
63173 | He seized Don Felipe and shouted:"Is that a caravel I see?" |
63173 | He went up to the Queen''s chair and, kneeling on one knee, said:"Will your Majesty pardon me for what I am about to ask? |
63173 | How are you, lad?" |
63173 | Is that much to ask? |
63173 | May I go with that messenger to La Rabida? |
63173 | May I go, my Queen? |
63173 | Ought we not to consecrate them with prayer as knights do?" |
63173 | Shall he, the discoverer, be under the authority of a viceroy or another admiral? |
63173 | Suppose you had been caught asleep while waiting for the Queen?" |
63173 | Tell me when does the exercise in the manège begin for Prince Juan and the pages?" |
63173 | That is enough to make one silent, is it not, your Highness?" |
63173 | Why should the Admiral land in Portugal before coming to Spain?" |
63173 | You bear a letter, I suppose, from the Admiral?" |
63173 | You were often tired and footsore, too, were you not? |
6810 | Then why did n''t the sailor get it all? |
6810 | There now,cried Christopher in glee,"did I not tell you gold was sure to come?" |
6810 | What other method has he in mind?--robbery, piracy, murder, forsooth? 6810 And then again, good Admiral, why did you make the great mistake of bringing no women colonists with you? 6810 And what had Columbus himself done to help matters along? 6810 And who could tell whether it would end in favor of the Spanish? 6810 Besides, argued the Portuguese, would there be any profit at the end of the enterprise? 6810 But the Bahama natives knew of no race but their own; so what could these undreamed- of visitors be but divine? 6810 But why not, good Admiral? 6810 Can you not let others solve the great problems across the ocean? 6810 Can you not see that you have been greatest of them all, and that nothing more is required of you? 6810 Did ever a Christmas morning dawn more dismally? 6810 Did he recall the beautiful climate of Haiti which he said waslike May in Cordova"? |
6810 | Had he ever known much else from those under him but incivility and rebellion? |
6810 | Had not this same Ovando refused to let you enter the harbor of San Domingo last year when the frightful hurricane was gathering? |
6810 | Had the brave Diego Mendez gone to the bottom? |
6810 | Here the deplorable business of kidnapping began again, and quite legitimately, the Spaniards thought, for were not the miserable creatures cannibals? |
6810 | How could men found homes and work when there were no wives and little ones to be housed and fed? |
6810 | How did Columbus happen to know that it would be wise to carry rubbish along with him? |
6810 | How, we ask ourselves as we sit in our comfortable, solid houses, did they endure it? |
6810 | If gold could do all that, who would not try to possess it? |
6810 | If, as he had probably begun to hope, the western path might ultimately lead to India, why not at once adopt that important name? |
6810 | Now, when you see this from the Spaniards''point of view, can you not understand their indignation? |
6810 | What are you going to do about it?" |
6810 | What had happened meanwhile to lift him out of misery and disgrace? |
6810 | What has the Admiral been doing since the Palos bells pealed out their joyous welcome to him? |
6810 | What should he write to the sovereigns waiting for news? |
6810 | Who could tell when the Moorish war would end? |
6810 | Why, he groaned, had_ his_ India been so barren of riches? |
6810 | Why, he must have asked himself, should he, no longer young, wait to see? |
6810 | Why, then, if it brought all these arts and inventions and discoveries, do we not call it the birth, instead of the_ re_-birth? |
6810 | Why? |
6810 | Yet why, we ask, should Columbus have been so astonished? |
6810 | can you not realize that your work is done now, for better or worse? |
8519 | How many may accompany me? |
8519 | Villejo,said he, mournfully,"whither are you taking me?" |
8519 | What power,exclaimed she indignantly,"has the admiral to give away my vassals?" |
8519 | 3) exclaims,"Who can believe all that, he says of the city of Quinsai? |
8519 | Abraham was above an hundred years when he begat Isaac; and was Sarah youthful? |
8519 | But how was this message to be conveyed? |
8519 | Columbus, thinking that he had been in the very vicinity of Cathay, exclaims with sudden zeal,"Who will offer himself for this task? |
8519 | If so, how long were they to remain here, vainly looking for relief which was never to arrive? |
8519 | If that had really been the case, what motive could he have for concealing the fact? |
8519 | If this were not the case, why did not the ships arrive, or why did not Fiesco return, as had been promised? |
8519 | Might not this arise from the weakness and incapacity of the rulers? |
8519 | Need I tell you how deeply interesting and gratifying it has been to me? |
8519 | Or for David, whom, from being a shepherd, he made a king in Judea? |
8519 | What did he more for Moses, or for his servant David, than he has done for thee? |
8519 | What did he more for the great people of Israel when he led them forth from Egypt? |
8519 | What has become of the countless multitudes this fortress was intended to awe? |
8519 | What monarch would not rejoice to gain empire on such conditions? |
8519 | What then? |
8519 | What tie had he upon their fidelity stronger than the sacred obligations which they had violated? |
8519 | Who is he to be? |
8519 | Who will doubt that this light was from the holy Scriptures, illumining you as well as myself with rays of marvelous brightness?" |
8519 | Why should Colnmbus feel this strong interest in Genoa, had he been born in any of the other Italian states which have laid claim to him? |
8519 | Why should he, therefore, confer princely dignities and prerogatives for that which men were daily offering to perform gratuitously? |
8519 | and why, if they knew it, should they not proclaim it? |
8519 | do you speak the truth?" |
8519 | who hath afflicted thee so much, and so many times?--God, or the world? |
8519 | why art thou cast down? |
42059 | Is it just,said Diego,"that I should suffer for a son which I may never have?" |
42059 | To embark, Villejo? 42059 Villejo,"said the prisoner,"whither do you take me?" |
42059 | What authority had my viceroy to give my vassals to such ends? |
42059 | 153; did he propose to those of Venice? |
42059 | 154; did he leave a wife in Portugal? |
42059 | Are we sure that he did? |
42059 | Did the cartographers of that time have anything more than conjecture by which to run such a coast line? |
42059 | Did they not come from the Persian gulf, round the Golden Chersonesus, and so easterly, as he himself had in the reverse way tracked the very course? |
42059 | Had it ever been passed before? |
42059 | Had not the great discoverer fulfilled his mission when he unveiled a new world? |
42059 | Had the Admiral not discovered already the course of the ships which sought it? |
42059 | He might better have remembered the words of warning given to Baruch:"Seekest thou great things for thyself? |
42059 | He remembered that Josephus has described the getting of gold for the Temple of Jerusalem from the Golden Chersonesus, and was not this the very spot? |
42059 | How did he command this rich resource? |
42059 | If all this was found on the surface, what must be the wealth in the bowels of these astounding mountains? |
42059 | Is it such? |
42059 | Is that the truth?" |
42059 | Meanwhile, what was going on in the north, where Portugal was pushing her discoveries in the region already explored by Cabot? |
42059 | Rabida, Convent of, 154; at what date was Columbus there? |
42059 | The question which complicates the decision is: When did Columbus consider his sailor''s life to have ended? |
42059 | WAS COLUMBUS IN THE NORTH? |
42059 | WAS COLUMBUS IN THE NORTH? |
42059 | WAS SHAKESPEARE SHAPLEIGH? |
42059 | Was it a fancy or a deceit? |
42059 | Was it a torch carried from hut to hut, as Herrera avers? |
42059 | Was it not certain that something must be wrong, or these accusations would not go on increasing? |
42059 | Was it not that he was slipping easily down this wonderful declivity? |
42059 | Was it on either of the other vessels? |
42059 | Was it on some small, outlying island, as has been suggested? |
42059 | Was it on the low island on which, the next morning, he landed? |
42059 | Was it quite sure that the ability to govern it went along with the genius to find it? |
42059 | Was it the discovery of some of those against whom a royal prohibition of discovery was issued by the Catholic kings, September 3, 1501? |
42059 | Was it the result of one of the voyages of Vespucius, and was Varnhagen right in tracking that navigator up the east Florida shore? |
42059 | Was not Mangi the richest of the provinces that Sir John Mandeville had spoken of? |
42059 | Was the light on a canoe? |
42059 | Was this an honest statement? |
42059 | Was this coast in the Cantino map indeed not North American, but the coast of Yucatan, misplaced, as one conjecture has been? |
42059 | We may perhaps ask, Was Irving''s hero a deceiver, or was he mad? |
42059 | Were not these parrots which Columbus had exhibited such as Pliny tells us are in Asia? |
42059 | What is that source? |
42059 | What next? |
42059 | What were the discoveries of the Phoenicians to this? |
42059 | Where, then, was this Greenland? |
42059 | Why is it that we know no more of these voyages of the Cabots? |
42059 | [ Sidenote: Cabot in Seville?] |
42059 | [ Sidenote: Date of the voyage, 1494 or 1497?] |
42059 | [ Sidenote: Did Columbus hear of the saga stories?] |
42059 | [ Sidenote: Did Columbus land on Thule?] |
42059 | [ Sidenote: Did he exceed his powers?] |
42059 | [ Sidenote: Was Vespucius on this voyage?] |
42059 | [ Sidenote: Was the Florida coast known?] |
42059 | [ Sidenote: What is the coast north of Cuba?] |
42059 | [ Sidenote: Who discovered South America?] |
42059 | [ Sidenote: Who first landed on the southern main?] |
27019 | Are you feeling better, Martin Pinzon? |
27019 | But, it was so--"Sudden? 27019 But--""And believes the world is flat and if you sail far enough west you''ll fall off?" |
27019 | But_ why_, uncle? |
27019 | Columbus? |
27019 | Did n''t you know that papa sails tomorrow? |
27019 | Do n''t you see? 27019 Do n''t you,"he said,"do n''t you indeed? |
27019 | Does it hurt much? |
27019 | Drink too much, Martin Pinzon? |
27019 | Even if Columbus tells you different? |
27019 | Even if I give one set of orders and Columbus another? |
27019 | Important? |
27019 | Is that correct? |
27019 | My dear Mr. Jones,he said slowly, acidly,"do n''t you think we''ve had enough of fantasy? |
27019 | So you have spirit, do you? 27019 The Western Sea? |
27019 | Wait a minute,Danny said,"do n''t tell me they already had the funeral?" |
27019 | Want to talk about it? |
27019 | Were n''t you listening? |
27019 | Were you very close to him, Danny? |
27019 | What did you say? |
27019 | What does it do, uncle? |
27019 | What is it? |
27019 | What''s so funny? |
27019 | Why''s everyone laughing? |
27019 | Would you take orders from me? |
27019 | Yes, but--"And does n''t want to see anything happen to you? |
27019 | You mean, what he left me? 27019 You take orders from Columbus?" |
27019 | You''ll help us you mean? |
27019 | ***** But why? |
27019 | *****"But why ca n''t I come back and see you?" |
27019 | All right?" |
27019 | And-- you know what ruins that faith?" |
27019 | Are you all set?" |
27019 | Are you going with him?" |
27019 | Are you this Don Pinzon?" |
27019 | Because I''ll be getting him up before the sun to--""Are you a sailing man too? |
27019 | But what are you going to do? |
27019 | Ca n''t you?" |
27019 | Columbus gasped,"What did you say?" |
27019 | Danny whispered fiercely,"Your father loves you very much?" |
27019 | Did you see Columbus land? |
27019 | Do n''t you think we ought to return to history?" |
27019 | Do you believe the way I have in mind? |
27019 | Do you believe the world to be round, little Nina?" |
27019 | Do you believe? |
27019 | Do you think your uncle left you anything-- well-- important?" |
27019 | Does it hurt much?" |
27019 | Eh, mates?" |
27019 | Eighteen? |
27019 | Faith in what? |
27019 | Faith not to believe in historical fairy tales? |
27019 | Faith to doubt when one ought to doubt? |
27019 | Funny, is n''t it, Martin?" |
27019 | How he would n''t let a soul near it, ever? |
27019 | I thought I''d at least get to see his--""His body? |
27019 | I--""You hear that?" |
27019 | If you know more or better history than the history books do, is n''t it your duty to tell us?" |
27019 | It''s probably not much more than a better mousetrap, but you want to believe it is, do n''t you? |
27019 | Know what it is?" |
27019 | Martin, tell me, do you believe the world is round?" |
27019 | Maybe-- at least you did n''t have to worship him as a hero just because he happened to discover... Now, what did he discover? |
27019 | Naturally, I''ll have to leave the house while you do so and I wo n''t be able to return until you tell me I can--""But why?" |
27019 | Now do you understand? |
27019 | Now, is it? |
27019 | Now, then, you know why you''re here?" |
27019 | On faith, you understand? |
27019 | Papa, do n''t you realize you''re sailing tomorrow?" |
27019 | Promise?" |
27019 | Right, Nina?" |
27019 | See what I mean? |
27019 | Seventeen? |
27019 | She said,"Then, then it''s no use?" |
27019 | So when you have a grand- nephew, see that his name''s Averill, understand? |
27019 | Sonny,"the lawyer asked abruptly,"how well did you know the old man?" |
27019 | There is nothing further, ca n''t you see? |
27019 | There were no surviving documents, so why should he? |
27019 | Think I want to fall over the edge? |
27019 | Try the trunk then? |
27019 | Twenty? |
27019 | Want me to read you the clause?" |
27019 | Want to try it?" |
27019 | Was n''t that the sort of faith Uncle Averill had in mind? |
27019 | Were you there? |
27019 | When they''re pretty as a rose, like you, who''s to care?" |
27019 | Why did he leave it to you?" |
27019 | Why do n''t you kind of make yourself scarce for a few years?" |
27019 | Wo n''t somebody help me? |
27019 | You get me?" |
27019 | You got to have this dream, see? |
27019 | You have been out on the Western Sea, as far as the Canary Islands, perhaps?" |
27019 | You know that contraption he had in the basement, do n''t you? |
27019 | You see, sonny? |
27019 | You see?" |
27019 | he thought, why should it surprise me? |
8683 | ( Superior hosts o''er every canton wheel) Or how behold their wanton carnage spread, Himself stand idle and his country bleed? |
8683 | And does the God obscure his golden throne In mournful darkness for my slaughter''d son? |
8683 | And hast thou now, to stay the whelming flood, No son to offer to the furious God? |
8683 | And lurks no spot in that bright sun of thine? |
8683 | And on his Guide Columbus fixt his sight: Kind messenger of heaven, he thus began, Why this progressive laboring search of man? |
8683 | And when shall solid glory, pure and bright, Alone inspire us, and our deeds requite? |
8683 | And where has man''s fine form so perfect shone In tint or mould, in canvass or in stone? |
8683 | And why not lapse again? |
8683 | And why should we write at all, if not to benefit mankind? |
8683 | And why so distant rolls the bounteous main? |
8683 | And why, sweet Minstrel, from the harp of fame Withhold so long that once resounding name? |
8683 | At length, as thro disparting clouds they rise, And hills above them still obstruct the skies, While a dead calm o''er all the region stood? |
8683 | But ah, forbear to tell my stooping sire His darling hopes have fed a coward fire; Why should he know the tortures of the brave? |
8683 | But who that chief? |
8683 | But, Susan, why that tear? |
8683 | Can Europe''s realms, the seat of endless strife, Afford no trophies for the waste of life? |
8683 | Can monarchs there no proud applauses gain, No living laurel for their people slain? |

29496 | How,they thought,"was navigation possible in seas where the compass, that unerring guide, had lost its virtue?" |
29496 | My Dawn? 29496 Shall he perish?" |
29496 | What shall I say, brave Adm''ral, say, If we sight naught but seas at dawn? |
29496 | ''Well, Sanchez of Segovia come and try; What seest?'' |
29496 | And are we prepared to barter these hopes, this sublime moral empire, for conquests by force? |
29496 | And his reward? |
29496 | And that terrible day of dark despair, When Columbus, under the lowering sail, Sent out to the hidden lands his prayer? |
29496 | And these by vacant Wests and Wests increased-- One pain of space, with hollow ache on ache, Throbbing and ceasing not for Christ''s own sake? |
29496 | And when he reached Spain, he told the King and Queen,"That they may ask all the pilots who came with him, Where is Veragua? |
29496 | Brave Adm''ral, say but one good word; What shall we do when hope is gone?" |
29496 | Brave Adm''ral, speak; what shall I say?" |
29496 | But inferior in what? |
29496 | But what can we make of"Tallarte"? |
29496 | But what shall we say of the man who carried Christ across the stormy terrors of the unknown sea? |
29496 | But where is he, that light whose radiance glows, The loadstone of succeeding mariners? |
29496 | COLUMBA CHRISTUM- FERENS-- WHAT''S IN A NAME? |
29496 | Can volume, pillar, pile, preserve thee great? |
29496 | Did not Columbus study and read and think, and then go out and load his ship with slaves? |
29496 | Do we not remember the olden tale? |
29496 | Do you ask how you are to get them? |
29496 | Else to what end does the world go on, and why was America discovered? |
29496 | Given thee the keys of the great ocean- sea? |
29496 | How if it never break? |
29496 | How many were there of them? |
29496 | I prithee stand and gaze about the sea; What seest?'' |
29496 | In national spirit and patriotic achievement? |
29496 | Inferior in deeds of zeal and valor for the Church? |
29496 | Inferior in enterprise? |
29496 | Inferior in science and letters and the arts? |
29496 | Is it I who have deceived thee or the world? |
29496 | Is it by any means probable he would have persevered had he not possessed that earnest enthusiasm which was characteristic of the great discoverer? |
29496 | Is it even improbable? |
29496 | Is it likely that$ 56 would have been the pension settled upon a lady of such rank? |
29496 | Is not our own history one witness and one record of what it can do? |
29496 | Is this the vision of romantic fancy? |
29496 | Now, is it possible that monarchy, plutarchy, or any other archy, can long withstand this curriculum of instruction? |
29496 | Oh, who shall lightly say that fame Is nothing but an empty name? |
29496 | Oh, who shall lightly say that fame Is nothing but an empty name? |
29496 | Or is it unimportant how many foggy days there are in his life? |
29496 | Search creation round, where can you find a country that presents so sublime a view, so interesting an anticipation? |
29496 | Set thee in light till time shall be no more? |
29496 | Shall not that New World greet him as the Christ- bearer? |
29496 | Shall that sea, on the morrow, with pitiless waves, Fling his corse on that shore which his patient eye craves? |
29496 | Shall we be ashamed of so glorious a rank? |
29496 | Shall we be indifferent to the effects which our religion may work in the world? |
29496 | Shall we be regardless of our duty as creatures of the Divine Power and recipients of His goodness? |
29496 | Shall we leave those wide regions to despair and anarchy? |
29496 | So thought Palmyra; where is she? |
29496 | Star? |
29496 | Teems not each ditty with the glorious tale? |
29496 | Then some one standing by my grave will say,"Behold the bones of Christopher Colòn,"Ay, but the chains, what do_ they_ mean-- the chains?" |
29496 | This day, the 4th of July, and all which it stands for-- did it not give us these? |
29496 | Thou hast done so well for men, that men Cry out against thee; was it otherwise With mine own son?" |
29496 | Was anything wanting to perfect him in the unresisting gentleness of the dove? |
29496 | Was he alone in his piracy? |
29496 | Was not the scholar Columbus part pirate? |
29496 | Was there anything dove- like about Columbus? |
29496 | Was this Charleston harbor or Hampton Roads? |
29496 | Was this his face, and these the finding eyes That plucked a new world from the rolling seas? |
29496 | What came ye forth to see? |
29496 | What fairer prospect of success could be presented? |
29496 | What hath he said? |
29496 | What is the emancipation of woman but the filtration of old thought? |
29496 | What manner of man was this Columbus, this admiral of the seas and lord of the Indies, who gave to Castille and Leon a new world? |
29496 | What means more adequate to accomplish the sublime end? |
29496 | What more is necessary than for the people to preserve what they themselves have created? |
29496 | What treasure found he? |
29496 | What was in that atmosphere of the fifteenth century which could have given peculiar thoughts to Columbus alone? |
29496 | When we reflect on what has been, and is, how is it possible not to feel a profound sense of the responsibilities of this Republic to all future ages? |
29496 | Who has not seen in imagination, when looking into the sunset sky, the gardens of the Hesperides, and the foundation of all those fables? |
29496 | Who shall say for what purpose mysterious Providence may not have designed her? |
29496 | Who were the strange people who met him at the end of his long and perilous voyage? |
29496 | Why allow the noxious weeds of Eastern politics to take root in your new soil, when by a little effort you might keep it pure? |
29496 | Why can not we rise to noble conceptions of our destiny? |
29496 | Why do rudely and ill things which need to be done well, seeing that the welfare of your descendants may turn upon them? |
29496 | Why do we not feel that our work as a nation is to carry freedom, religion, science, and a nobler form of human nature over this continent? |
29496 | Why not make its outlines and beginnings worthy of these destinies, the thought of which gilds your hopes and elevates your purposes?" |
29496 | Why sacrifice the present to the future, fancying that you will be happier when your fields teem with wealth and your cities with people? |
29496 | Why should we be specially interested? |
29496 | Why should we? |
29496 | Why, in your hurry to subdue and utilize nature, squander her splendid gifts? |
29496 | Why, then, seek to complete in a few decades what the other nations of the world took thousands of years over in the older continents? |
29496 | Will not man grow to greater perfection intellectually as well as physically under these influences? |
29496 | Would a census have strengthened them to resist the threatened tide of invaders that the coming of Columbus heralded? |
29496 | Would they have lived any longer if they had been counted? |
29496 | Wouldst leap ashore, Heart? |
29496 | You have no heart? |

36406 | A cat may look at a king, Señor Conde; and why not a mariner on his passenger? 36406 An Indian princess, say''st thou? |
36406 | An acquaintance of the court, Señor? |
36406 | And Don Luis de Bobadilla was ever with the admiral? |
36406 | And am I a hypocrite, Marchioness? 36406 And are these obstacles getting to be more serious than we could hope, Señor?" |
36406 | And by what lucky chance have I obtained thy services, good Sancho, in this great expedition? |
36406 | And can it be necessary, Luis, when thou art the danger apprehended? |
36406 | And do all your followers, noble admiral, act under the same guidance? |
36406 | And do you partake of all this hope, Don Christopher? |
36406 | And dost thou really mean that persons of this high rank have returned with the admiral? |
36406 | And doth the learned Tuscan say aught of the riches of those countries? |
36406 | And how is this to be done, Mercedes? 36406 And in what can all this harm thy husband? |
36406 | And in what manner wilt thou open the acquaintance, son? |
36406 | And is this true? |
36406 | And thou believest that nobles and cavaliers can be found willing to embark with this obscure Genoese, in his bold undertaking? |
36406 | And thou!--would this adventure win thee, too, to view me with kindness? |
36406 | And thou, Pepe? 36406 And thou, my aunt-- thou, Mercedes-- dost thou, too, believe me capable of this?" |
36406 | And were thy father and thy mother called Mundo, also? 36406 And what are thy feelings, daughter? |
36406 | And what hath Guinea, or what have the mines of the Portuguese to do with this western voyage? 36406 And when thou didst send it back to me, now within the week, how was it thy wish to be understood?" |
36406 | And who may this misguided youth be, Señora? |
36406 | And why art thou so particular in desiring this favor in behalf of these poor islanders, and that, too, Sancho, at the expense of thine own bones? |
36406 | And why not as respects the honor, friend Sancho? |
36406 | And why should I do this, good woman? |
36406 | And why should I give this information to thee, young man, more than to another? |
36406 | And why should I return to a hesitating, cold, and undecided court? |
36406 | And yet, Señor, thou enterest on it with the confidence of a man certain of reaching his haven? |
36406 | And you, Don Christopher, where do you place the caravels, since there is no motive to conceal the truth? |
36406 | And you, too, Señor? |
36406 | Are not my children thine, Fernando? 36406 Are the joyful tidings that my people bring me true?" |
36406 | Are there fresh tidings from the unfortunate and deluded Hebrews, Lord Archbishop? |
36406 | Art certain of this? |
36406 | Art certain, Sancho? 36406 Art certain, St. Angel, that the Genoese hath gone for France?" |
36406 | Art thou a compelled adventurer, on this service? |
36406 | Art thou a seaman, and disregardest thy course, in this heedless manner? |
36406 | Art thou in so great haste to quit a banquet such as Spain hath not often seen, except in the palaces of her kings? |
36406 | Art thou serious in demanding these terms, Señor? |
36406 | Art thou uneasy, friend Sancho, that thou puttest thy question thus earnestly? |
36406 | Beatriz, what meaneth this? 36406 But hast thou no feeling for success-- no gratitude to God for this vast discovery? |
36406 | But thou thinkest well of his project; or have I mistaken thy meaning? |
36406 | But thou thinkest-- thou feelest, Mercedes, that it was in fear of me that Her Highness extorted the vow? |
36406 | But where is Harold? 36406 But, blessed Mercedes,_ you_ never imputed to me this act of deception and unfaithfulness?" |
36406 | By whom, young Lord? |
36406 | Call ye this stagnant and immovable? |
36406 | Call you this a court, Señor? 36406 Can any think them otherwise, Señora? |
36406 | Can it be otherwise? 36406 Can this be so, Beatriz?" |
36406 | Can this be so? |
36406 | Can this be true? |
36406 | Can this mean treachery, Señor? |
36406 | Canst thou explain this, Beatriz? |
36406 | Canst thou tell them, and let me know their numbers? |
36406 | Canst thou think of naught else, son, that should not lie hid from before the keeper of all consciences? |
36406 | Caonabo? |
36406 | Christian marry first lady he love best? |
36406 | Christian no marry heathen?--Christian marry Christian? |
36406 | Conde de Llera, dost thou admit, or dost thou deny, that thou art the husband of the Lady Ozema? |
36406 | Daughter,said Isabella, who frequently addressed those she loved by this endearing term,"thou hast not forgotten thy freely- offered vow?" |
36406 | Daughter- Marchioness,asked the queen, turning as usual to her tried friend, in her doubts,"what thinkest thou of this weighty matter? |
36406 | Did he give thee his name, good Sancho? |
36406 | Did they seem warlike, and made they any pretensions to a right to interrupt our voyage? |
36406 | Didst thou attend to what he said, touching the gentleness and mildness of the inhabitants? 36406 Didst thou duly explain to Señor Colon, the nature of our proposals, Lord Archbishop?" |
36406 | Do I not, also, dear aunt, in my attachment to thy ward? 36406 Do I not? |
36406 | Do the English put the largest of their sails uppermost on the masts? |
36406 | Do the learned favor the man''s notions? |
36406 | Do these Indians eat flesh as remarkable as their bread? |
36406 | Do they not see that these shadows are round, and do they not know that a shadow which is round can only be cast by a body that is round? |
36406 | Do you believe us in danger, Señor? |
36406 | Do you still remark those unaccountable changes in the needles, Señor? |
36406 | Don Luis, dost thou confirm this statement, and also assert that thy gift was made solely with this object? |
36406 | Dost think, Sancho, that Cipango is as large as the admiral hath got the island on the chart? |
36406 | Dost thou acknowledge this, Doña Mercedes? |
36406 | Dost thou bring any tidings from Ferro? |
36406 | Dost thou detect aught fluttering in the rigging, Luis? |
36406 | Dost thou fancy, Pepe, that thy love can keep those flowers in bloom, until the good caravel shall recross the Atlantic? |
36406 | Dost thou find our female friends terrified by this appalling scene, son Luis? |
36406 | Dost thou know one Sancho Mundo, a common seaman of this crew? |
36406 | Dost thou not know, fellow, that I, too, am a father, and that the dearest objects of a father''s hopes are left behind me, also? 36406 Dost thou not perceive, Don Luis, the grave and dejected countenances of the mariners, and hearest thou the wailings that are rising from the shore?" |
36406 | Dost thou say, father, that the man hath long been in Spain? |
36406 | Dost thou see him, Sancho? |
36406 | Dost thou see in it aught to satisfy thee that we are approaching the Indies, and that our time of trial draweth rapidly to an end? |
36406 | Dost thou think it hath limits? |
36406 | Dost thou think it is so, Pepe? 36406 Doth Martin find any to believe this silly notion?" |
36406 | For the last time, Señor,he said,"I ask if you still insist on these unheard- of terms?" |
36406 | For what reason hast thou so suddenly paused in thy course? |
36406 | From all of which you infer that the world is round, wherein we are to find the certainty of our success? |
36406 | Hadst thou a Señor de Muños of thy party? |
36406 | Harkee, Pepe; is not the queen of Castile our mistress? 36406 Hast looked for Pepe, this morning, among our people?" |
36406 | Hast thou bethought thee of Doña Beatriz Enriquez? 36406 Hast thou lost all interest in Colon?" |
36406 | Hast thou never stood before a priest with her, nor in any manner abused her guileless simplicity? |
36406 | Hast thou not heard of shoals so wide that a caravel could never find its way out of them, if it once entered? |
36406 | Hast thou nothing to say, Señor de Muños, in support of our petition? 36406 Hast thou seen Don Andres de Cabrera?" |
36406 | Hast thou truly brought away with thee the princess thou hast named? |
36406 | Hast thou, then, wronged her, and given her a right to think that thou didst mean wedlock? |
36406 | Hast thou_ concealed_ aught? 36406 Hath aught been received, that cometh from that quarter?" |
36406 | Hath he not had Luis de St. Angel of his side? |
36406 | Hath he the aspect of a messenger from the court? |
36406 | Hath he the gold to prefer so long a suit? |
36406 | Hath the Moor another kingdom of which to be despoiled,she asked;"or would the receiver of the church''s revenues have us war upon the Holy See?" |
36406 | Have I done harm, where I most intended good? 36406 Have I not often seen him with his visor up, and followed him, time and again, to the charge?" |
36406 | Have I not wasted years in striving to urge it to its own good? 36406 Have I your leave, noble admiral, to push ahead in the Pinta, that our eyes may first be greeted with the grateful sight of Asia? |
36406 | Have any here ever navigated the Mediterranean, or visited the island of which Don Ferdinand, the honored consort of our lady the queen, is master? |
36406 | Have none of them ever observed the shadows cast by the earth, in the eclipses of the moon? |
36406 | Have none seen the Pinta? |
36406 | Have these blackguards found out the true value of hawk''s- bells, after all, and do they mean to demand the balance due them? |
36406 | Have we gained aught by changing our course in this direction? 36406 Holy Franciscan!--why wilt thou not mention the names of one or two of these?" |
36406 | How far do you really think us from land, Señor Almirante? 36406 How is this, Sancho of the ship- yard- gate?" |
36406 | How know we that the cavalier you mention, Señora, may not have his weeks of penance and his hours of prayer? |
36406 | How know''st thou this, Beatriz? |
36406 | How now, holy archbishop,--demanded Isabella--"doth thy new flock vex thy spirit, and is it so very hard to deal with an infidel?" |
36406 | I am Isabella, the queen,she said, prising, without any further suspicion of danger;"and thou art a messenger from Colon, the Genoese?" |
36406 | I have erred as a man, father; but do not my confessions already meet those sins? |
36406 | I have heard much of one Pinzon,added Luis,"who went forth as pilot of a caravel in the voyage; what hath become of him?" |
36406 | I hope you do not distrust my nerves, Don Christopher, that this matter is kept a secret from me? |
36406 | I shall inquire into this of the illustrious admiral; but, next to this star, Master Sancho, what deem you most worthy of observation? 36406 I wish to inquire if thou wouldst consent to become the wife of Don Luis de Bobadilla?" |
36406 | If Her Highness is disposed to favor this Colon,he asked,"why hath the measure been so long delayed?" |
36406 | If the earth be round,continued Don Luis, with a musing air,"what preventeth all the water from flowing to the lower parts of it? |
36406 | If thou hast this faith in thy leader, what other distrust can give thee concern? |
36406 | If we will obey three days longer, Señor, will you then turn toward Spain, should no land be seen? |
36406 | In God''s time, my good-- how art thou named? |
36406 | In the name of all the devils, Roderique, of what art thou thinking, that thou likenest this knave to a young noble? 36406 In what direction, good Martin Alonzo?" |
36406 | In what way could this thing be, unless the earth were round-- the Indies lying east, and not west of us? |
36406 | In which quarter dost thou perceive this welcome neighbor? |
36406 | Is Ozema Christian now? |
36406 | Is Señor Don Christopher at his post, as usual? |
36406 | Is he of thy watch, or sleepeth he with his fellows of the relief below? |
36406 | Is it known that islands have ever produced this effect on the needle? |
36406 | Is it, then, known who my nephew really is? 36406 Is not this a most wonderful reward, for efforts so small, my husband and love?" |
36406 | Is not this the course of things, Señor, throughout the earth? 36406 Is that a hummock of land?" |
36406 | Is that truth established? 36406 Is the Señor Gutierrez equally enlightened in this manner? |
36406 | Is there aught of interest in that quarter? |
36406 | Is there aught wonderful in this, my worthy friend? 36406 Is there no hope, noble admiral? |
36406 | Is this Cipango known to produce spices, or aught that may serve to uphold a sinking treasury, and repay us for so much cost and risk? |
36406 | Is this cross, then, held so common, that it hath gotten to be the subject of discourse even for men of thy class? |
36406 | Is this just to Ozema? 36406 Is this lady a Christian princess, Sancho?" |
36406 | Is this quite honest, Sancho, to rob an Indian of his gold, in exchange for a bauble that copper so easily purchaseth? 36406 Is this so, Don Christopher?" |
36406 | Is this so, Señor? |
36406 | Is this true? 36406 Is this young Indian, then, so very perfect, Beatriz, that thy ward need fear or envy her? |
36406 | Keep they close in with the island, or stretch they off to seaward? |
36406 | Know ye the distance that lieth between us and Ferro, that ye come to me with this blind and foolish request? 36406 Know you any thing of the rare birds the admiral exhibited to their Highnesses to- day?" |
36406 | Knowest thou the stones?--was it of turquoise, embellished with the finest gold? |
36406 | May I presume to ask if I am meant in these severe remarks? |
36406 | Mercedes, thou canst not deny that thou believest Her Highness extorted that vow in dread of me? |
36406 | Mercedes? |
36406 | Nay, I will not be denied-- hast thou any such notion as this, which the wife of Pepe hath so plainly avowed? |
36406 | Nay, what more can I say, my beloved mistress? 36406 No answer, daughter? |
36406 | Not so, my poor benighted girl--"What benighted?" |
36406 | Now, Gondarino, what can you put on now That may deceive us? 36406 Of whom else should we be speaking, or to whom else allude? |
36406 | Of whom speakest thou? |
36406 | Princes and princesses!--What mean you, friend, by such high- sounding terms? |
36406 | Pronounce what sea, what shore is this? 36406 Sancho, art thou, too, of the party of these mutineers? |
36406 | Saving his life!--the life of Luis-- of Don Luis de Bobadilla-- an Indian princess? |
36406 | Seest thou aught unusual, westward? 36406 Seest thou that dark, gloomy pile, which is heaving up out of the darkness, here at the south and west of us?" |
36406 | Señores,he said,"is there one here of sufficient expertness to cause this egg to stand on its end? |
36406 | Speak-- art thou wedded to Luis de Bobadilla, or not? |
36406 | Still, she hath a name? |
36406 | Tell me,answered the youth, as if disdaining to be questioned himself--"who holds this borough? |
36406 | That Luis''God? |
36406 | The very same, Señor,answered he above, with a mollified tone:"but what can a set of travelling traders know of His Excellency? |
36406 | Then how happened it that thou sawest the smaller object before the larger? |
36406 | Then thou agreest with this Colon, and thinkest the earth round? |
36406 | Then you think, Señor, that we may really expect land, ere many days? |
36406 | Then, Señor, what will there be to prevent the doblas of that country from falling off into the air, leaving us our journey for our pains? |
36406 | Then, hast thou letters? 36406 Thou art a Christian, Sancho, and hast a desire to aid in carrying the cross among the heathen?" |
36406 | Thou comest from Colon, I say? |
36406 | Thou comest not out upon the sea, Mercedes, contrary to thine own wishes? |
36406 | Thou hast long known this Martin Alonzo, Don Luis de Bobadilla? |
36406 | Thou hast well considered, Don Fernando, the treaty of marriage, and accepted cheerfully, I trust, all of its several conditions? |
36406 | Thou hast, then, none of these unsuitable and unseamanlike apprehensions? |
36406 | Thou know''st me, knave? 36406 Thou knowest the queen, holy monk?" |
36406 | Thou thinkest his designs, then, great, Daughter- Marchioness? |
36406 | Thou thinkest, then, he will not be apt to know me again? |
36406 | Thou wilt say nothing of this, Sancho? |
36406 | Thou wilt, at least, prove discreet? |
36406 | Thou would''st not have me understand, father, that a man can walk on his head-- and that, too, with the noble member in the air? 36406 Thou, then, thinkest thyself, truant, every way worthy to be the husband of Mercedes de Valverde?" |
36406 | Thou? 36406 To whom speak ye in this shameless manner, graceless knaves?" |
36406 | Viceroy over what? |
36406 | Was this altogether discreet, Don Christopher, or as one prudent as thou shouldst have consented to? |
36406 | Well, be it so; and why should a Bobadilla be proscribed by even a Queen of Castile? |
36406 | What certainty have I that this condition will be respected? |
36406 | What do you, then, take this light to signify, Don Christopher? |
36406 | What has brought the Señor St. Angel and the Señor Quintanilla, as suitors, so early to my presence? |
36406 | What hast thou thought of the chart I sent thee three days since, good Martin Alonzo? |
36406 | What hath been said? |
36406 | What have I to gain by the destruction of thy husband, or by the destruction of any of his comrades? |
36406 | What is the name of this princess, and whence doth she come? |
36406 | What is there that the Conde de Llera can have to say to one like me, that_ thou_ mayest not hear? |
36406 | What meaneth this haste, good Martin Alonzo? |
36406 | What now, Martin Alonzo? |
36406 | What now, good Vicente Yañez? |
36406 | What protect? |
36406 | What thing a right line is,--the learned know; But how availes that him, who in the right Of life and manners doth desire to grow? 36406 What weightier than this can be found? |
36406 | What will you, Señor Christoval? 36406 What would he then have thought had he known the truth, of which, young count, even thou art ignorant?" |
36406 | What would ye? |
36406 | What would you, Señora? |
36406 | What wouldst thou, good Martin Alonzo? |
36406 | Where cross? 36406 Where cross?" |
36406 | Where is Colon? |
36406 | Whither goest thou, in this hurry, Don Luis? |
36406 | Whither hath he been? |
36406 | Whither hath the Señor Colon sped? |
36406 | Whither, Luis? |
36406 | Whither,''midst falling dew, While glow the heavens with the last steps of day, Far, through their rosy depths, dost thou pursue Thy solitary way? |
36406 | Who has seen aught of Martin Alonzo within the hour? |
36406 | Who hath aided him more than thyself, friend Luis? |
36406 | Who is that person? |
36406 | Who knoweth, Señor Gutierrez? 36406 Why not, daughter? |
36406 | Why, then, didst thou see the upper sails of the Englishman first? |
36406 | Would it make aught different in thy opinions and feelings, young man, were I to answer no? |
36406 | Wouldst thou aught with me, Sancho? |
36406 | You have seen her, Señor, and can say whether she be not worthy to occupy the minds of all the youth of Spain? |
36406 | Your Highness-- can a Christian contract marriage with one that is yet unbaptized? |
36406 | _ Here_, say''st thou, Marchioness? 36406 A Castilian thyself, dost_ thou_, too, really think one of thy kingdom better than one of Genoa? |
36406 | Am I to land you, lady?" |
36406 | Am I to understand, Mercedes, it is thy wish that I should make one of the adventurers?" |
36406 | Am I, then, never to be believed-- never again to be happy? |
36406 | And are not subjects-- true and lawful subjects, I mean, like thee and me-- are not such subjects worthy of being the queen''s countrymen? |
36406 | And if round, how can a vessel that hath descended the side of the earth for days, ever return? |
36406 | And is not this, Don Luis, a most heavenly sight? |
36406 | And then the benefits that will flow on Castile and Aragon-- are they not incalculable? |
36406 | And thou, Pepe, what dost thou find in those flowers to draw thy attention so early from all these wonders?" |
36406 | And wert thou not struck with the simple, confiding aspects of those he hath brought with him? |
36406 | Angel?" |
36406 | Are feigned feelings of more repute with the queen and thyself, than real feelings? |
36406 | Are many persons acquainted with his secret?" |
36406 | Are there really a Prince Mattinao, and a Princess Ozema his sister, and have both accompanied the admiral to Spain?" |
36406 | Are they not such as becometh their Highnesses to accept on bended knees, and with many thanks?" |
36406 | Beatriz, thou dost agree with me, and it can not find an apology for this recreant knight, even though he were once the pride of thy house?" |
36406 | Behold!--dost thou remark that further sign of the warring of the elements?" |
36406 | Bethink thee well-- did he mention no other name to thee?" |
36406 | But didst thou say that thou wast_ known_ to him?" |
36406 | But doth your correspondent, Señora, say aught of what hath become of the graceless lover?" |
36406 | But thou hast been over sea, and may have observed something of this?" |
36406 | But what are gravity and decorum, if sustained by an inflated pride and inordinate rapacity? |
36406 | But what are the tidings of the Pinta, thine own vessel? |
36406 | But what can I do against this tempest?" |
36406 | But what is thy will, friend, that thou seemest in waiting for me, to disburden thyself of something? |
36406 | But what meaneth all this movement on deck? |
36406 | But what more hast thou to offer concerning my suitors?" |
36406 | But you, Señor Don Christopher, did you deem yourself an agent of heaven in this expedition?" |
36406 | But, Señor, have you thought maturely on the advantages that are to accrue to the sovereigns, should they sustain you in this undertaking?" |
36406 | But, touching this Ozema-- can I see her, Beatriz?" |
36406 | But, who is the maid, in whom thy feelings seem to take so deep, although I question if it be not an unrequited, interest?" |
36406 | CHAPTER V."Who hath not proved how feebly words essay To fix one spark of beauty''s heavenly ray? |
36406 | Can I trust thee now, to keep the ship on her course, or must I send for another mariner to relieve the helm?" |
36406 | Can good happen to one, without its equally befalling the other? |
36406 | Can it be, de Ojeda, that they have met in some of their earlier nautical wanderings?" |
36406 | Can we put credit in thy words?" |
36406 | Can you tell us what hath befel the Señor Christoval Colon, the Genoese navigator, with whom, they inform me, you have some intimacy?" |
36406 | Canst thou account for it by any wandering inclination, Lady of Moya?" |
36406 | Could''st thou, Luis, see with indifference the proceedings of one thou hast known from childhood, and esteemed as a friend?" |
36406 | Did I ever fail to show my preference for thee when we were boy and girl, in all the sports and light- hearted enjoyments of that guileless period?" |
36406 | Did I not tell thee that I went at the bidding of an angel?" |
36406 | Did that vagabond, Sancho, dare to wound thy ear, Mercedes, with an insinuation that touched the strength or the constancy of my love for thee?" |
36406 | Didst ever see a calm so profound, that the water left a straight circle on the horizon? |
36406 | Didst not notice the capes, and bays, and headlands, all laid down as plainly as on any other well- known coast? |
36406 | Didst thou bethink thee, to intercede again with the admiral, to do all service to Mattinao, on reaching Española?" |
36406 | Didst thou not remark, friend Luis, as we passed through the streets, that divers Spaniards pointed at me, as the object of scorn?" |
36406 | Didst thou not swear to thy fellows, that thou hadst often seen this deviation before; ay, even on as many as twenty occasions?" |
36406 | Do I hear aright?" |
36406 | Do they savor of the terms that have already been in discussion between us?" |
36406 | Dost fancy him a Guzman, or a Mendoza, in disguise, that thou speakest thus of chivalry?" |
36406 | Dost not hear angry and threatening words from the mouths of the troublesome ones?" |
36406 | Dost not see, that the men who gave us most concern, on account of their discontent, are now the loudest in their applause?" |
36406 | Dost really think thy ward would overlook the want of preparation and time?" |
36406 | Dost think Cathay much more remote than Cyprus, Señor Almirante?" |
36406 | Dost think Pepe would have married a Moorish girl?" |
36406 | Dost thou not fear to offend the admiral?" |
36406 | Dost thou not go forth, on this great voyage, carrying with thee more of our hopes than of our fears?" |
36406 | Dost thou not know that we churchmen are not permitted to betray the secrets of the confessional, or to draw comparisons between penitents? |
36406 | Dost thou wish, in truth, to sail with the admiral, Pepe?" |
36406 | Dost thou, too, think the services of the Genoese can not be bought at too high a price?" |
36406 | Doth not thy discretion rebuke thy indiscretion in this matter, Lord Admiral?" |
36406 | Doth the man really propose to venture out into the broad Atlantic, and even to cross it to some distant and unknown land?" |
36406 | Else, why hath the Moor so long been permitted to rule in Spain? |
36406 | Haply, thou may''st know that illustrious heiress?" |
36406 | Hast thou any real idea of the length of the road we have come?" |
36406 | Hast thou any such love for Don Luis as would induce thee to forget thine own country, and to adopt his in its stead?" |
36406 | Hast thou ever expressed a wish, that I have not proved an eager desire to see it accomplished?" |
36406 | Hast thou not seen in all my looks-- all my acts-- all my motives-- a desire to please thee, and thee alone, lovely Mercedes? |
36406 | Hast thou so forgotten thy duty as to come with this language to thy commander? |
36406 | Hath Doña Beatriz ever exercised a tithe of thy power over me, and hast thou ever failed to tame even my wildest and rashest humors?" |
36406 | Hath aught justifiable occurred to warrant this change of feeling?" |
36406 | Hath she been finally put into a condition to buffet the Atlantic?" |
36406 | Hath this princess attendants befitting her rank and dignity?" |
36406 | Hath thy discourse been of aught but love, since thou hast known and cared for me?" |
36406 | Have I Her Highness''scruples to overcome, as well as those of my cold- hearted and prudish aunt?" |
36406 | Have I not loved thee since thou and I were children? |
36406 | Have I your Highness''permission to inquire into the affair, myself?" |
36406 | Have we been thus deceived, and has so much evil been said of the admiral and his motives, wrongfully?" |
36406 | Have we made all sure in the caravel?" |
36406 | Have ye more strange illusions, yet more mists, Through which the weak eye may be led to error? |
36406 | Have you entirely forgotten our Genoese admiral, Don Fernando?" |
36406 | How and when did Luis we d thee, Ozema?" |
36406 | How fareth the Lady of Valverde, and when will she deign to reward thy constancy and love?" |
36406 | How go matters with Colon-- and when is he like to quit the court?" |
36406 | How is it, that we have any seas at all? |
36406 | How long is it that your Highness holdeth court, and giveth receptions, past the hour of midnight?" |
36406 | How stand thy people affected on taking leave of the land?" |
36406 | I take it, Señor, your Excellency would not willingly exchange the castle of Llera for the palace of this Great Cacique?" |
36406 | I think, friend Sancho, I may count on thee as a true and faithful follower, even in extremity?" |
36406 | I trust thou hast none of this silly apprehension?" |
36406 | If he succeed, who so great as he? |
36406 | If he succeed, will not the discovery eclipse all others that have been made since the creation of the world? |
36406 | If there were honor and profit in success, what would there be in failure? |
36406 | If this expedition end as we trust, all who engage in it will be honored and advanced; and why not I, as well as another?" |
36406 | If thou hast never felt otherwise, why was the cross that I gave thee at parting, bestowed on another?" |
36406 | In matters of the church, now, its interests being entrusted to a ministry, what have the unlearned and ignorant to say of its affairs? |
36406 | In the one case, he is too great and exalted to heed idle words; and in the other, what is there too bad for a Castilian to tell him?" |
36406 | In what, then, dost thou differ from me, my son being also without a mother''s care?" |
36406 | Is Doña Isabella, too, my enemy? |
36406 | Is all thou hast said about the princes and princesses true?" |
36406 | Is it more preferable to leave another arbitress of thy fate, than to exercise that office for thyself? |
36406 | Is it not a most curious dish to taste of?" |
36406 | Is it not his besetting sin to think good of himself, and evil of his neighbor?" |
36406 | Is it not the noble Count of Treviño?" |
36406 | Is it that thou repentest embarking, or dost thou merely muse on the charms of thy mistress?" |
36406 | Is not my very choice, in some sort, a pledge of the truth and justice of my feelings in these particulars?" |
36406 | Is not the value of a thing to be settled by what it will bring in the market? |
36406 | Is poverty a crime at Palos?" |
36406 | Is the name of the lady, also, given in your letter?" |
36406 | Is the princess really of sufficient beauty to supplant a creature as lovely as the Doña Mercedes?" |
36406 | Know''st thou her rank, Don Christopher, and the circumstances that have brought her to Spain?" |
36406 | Let me humbly demand my offence?" |
36406 | Look in this direction-- here, more on the vessel''s beam; seest thou aught uncommon?" |
36406 | Look to the west, and what dost see there? |
36406 | May it not be a hint to turn aside, and to look further in this quarter?" |
36406 | Monica,"calling her kindly and familiarly by name,"art thou a Christian?" |
36406 | Moreover, can one truly love the wife and not esteem the husband? |
36406 | No possible?" |
36406 | Now, we do know that the church, at some day, is to prevail throughout the whole world; and why may not this be the allotted time, as well as another? |
36406 | Or, are we to look upon this voyage as the only known way in which all these heathen could be rescued from perdition?" |
36406 | Or, is this name taken in order to give thee an occasion to show thy smartness, when questioned by thy officers?" |
36406 | Ought we so to humble ourselves as to recal this haughty Genoese?" |
36406 | Pepe, thou hast none of these weaknesses; but hast set thy heart on Cathay and a sight of the Great Khan?" |
36406 | See no cross-- up in heaven?--or where? |
36406 | Seest thou any sail, Luis, in that quarter of the ocean?" |
36406 | Señor Almirante, what else should I be? |
36406 | Señor, will you suffer Pepe to pass the night with his family, on condition that he goeth on board the Santa Maria in the morning?" |
36406 | Señor-- when?" |
36406 | Shall I punish him that merely depriveth his neighbor of some paltry piece of silver, and let him escape who woundeth the soul? |
36406 | Shall I then forget To urge the gloomy wanderer o''er the wave? |
36406 | Tell me of my nephew:--did he, too, write? |
36406 | The gulf, the rock of Salamis?" |
36406 | Then there is the bread that grows like a root-- what think_ you_ of that, Señor Don Luis? |
36406 | There has been no deception practised on this wild girl, to lead her into sin and misery?" |
36406 | This being so, and all who have voyaged on the ocean know it to be thus, why doth not the water flow into a level, here, on our own shores? |
36406 | Thou appearest to be friendly to the designs of this navigator, Colon?" |
36406 | Thou art the husband with whom I held discourse on the sands, the past evening, and thy name is Pepe?" |
36406 | Thou assentest to all that hath hitherto been said?" |
36406 | Thou canst conceive that, Pepe?" |
36406 | Thou hast frequently perused, and sufficiently conned the marriage articles, I trust?" |
36406 | Thou mightst mould me to all thy wishes"--"My wishes, Don Luis?" |
36406 | Thou rememberest the tourney that took place just before thou left us on thy last mad expedition?" |
36406 | Thou thinkest the Santa Maria will be in a state for service by the end of the month?" |
36406 | Thou wast journeying between Moguer and Palos, I think thou saidst, when this discourse was had with our acquaintance, the good Martin Alonzo?" |
36406 | Thou wilt bestow on us a few masses?" |
36406 | Thy name is Sancho Mundo, if I remember thy countenance?" |
36406 | Thy thoughts, of late, have been bent on matrimony?" |
36406 | Were those Polos pious missionaries, Señor?" |
36406 | What can ye say that may do satisfaction Both for her wronged honor and your ill?" |
36406 | What care I for gold, who already possess-- or shall so soon possess-- more than I need? |
36406 | What danger have we here? |
36406 | What diamonds, therefore, can I command?" |
36406 | What force in vessels and equipments do you demand, in order to achieve the great objects you expect, under the blessing of God, to accomplish?" |
36406 | What is thy opinion, daughter?" |
36406 | What know I of the wonders of Cipango, since Candia lieth in an opposite course? |
36406 | What sum doth Colon need, Señor de St. Angel, to carry on the adventure in a manner that will content him?" |
36406 | What then are all these humane arts, and lights, But seas of errors? |
36406 | What would prevent the sea from tumbling out of its bed, and falling on the Devil''s fires and extinguishing them?" |
36406 | When Her Highness gave her royal approbation of my success, in the last tourney, did I not seek thine eye, in order to ask if thou notedst it? |
36406 | When and where didst thou meet him before a priest?" |
36406 | When hath Mercedes de Valverde ever shown either, to_ thee_?" |
36406 | Where is the spring that is to furnish water to the parched lip, when our stores shall fail; and where the field to give us its bread and nourishment? |
36406 | Where is thy ward?" |
36406 | Who among ye dare use language so bold, to your admiral?" |
36406 | Who and what is the man?" |
36406 | Who are ye? |
36406 | Who is, or can be, exactly worthy of so much excellence? |
36406 | Who sitteth on the top- gallant yard, there, on watch for wonders ahead?" |
36406 | Why abandon a certainty for an uncertainty? |
36406 | Why dost thou thus regard the people beneath, with a steady eye and unwavering look? |
36406 | Why doth the princess couple the name of thy ward with that of Colon, with mine, and even with that of the young Count of Llera?" |
36406 | Why tell us that the earth is round, Señor, when our eyes show that it is flat? |
36406 | Wilt thou charge thyself with the introduction?" |
36406 | With thee-- the impatience produced by thy doubts excepted-- am I not ever tractable and gentle? |
36406 | Would it be exceeding discretion to ask who or what hath thus riveted thy gaze?" |
36406 | You can not seriously mean to maintain them?" |
36406 | You expect, Señor, to be intrusted with the command of the expedition, in your own person?" |
36406 | You speak of omens, Señor; are there any physical signs of our being near the land of Cathay?" |
36406 | _ Can_ this be true, Don Luis?" |
36406 | _ Thou_, surely, wilt not pretend that the earth is round?" |
36406 | and am I not the very youth to render such a creature happy? |
36406 | and must we quit all these cheering signs, without endeavoring to trace them to some advantageous conclusion?" |
36406 | and who art thou, that speakest up as sharply and as proudly as if thou wert a grandee?" |
36406 | demanded Luis;"are we really to expect the Indies as a consequence of these marine plants, or is the expectation idle?" |
36406 | dost thou own even that little in my favor?" |
36406 | exclaimed Ferdinand, in his quick, sharp voice:"dost thou think, Señor, of a crusade, as well as of discovering new regions?" |
36406 | exclaimed Mercedes, the color mounting to her pale cheek, and joy momentarily flashing in her eyes,"can this be so?" |
36406 | exclaimed Pinzon:"how is it known, or is it known at all, of a certainty?" |
36406 | he said;"is this the way you treat peaceful travellers; merchants, who come to ask hospitality and a night''s repose at your hands?" |
36406 | of thy son Fernando, who tarrieth, at this moment, in our convent of la Rabida?" |
36406 | said the great navigator;"thou lookest on this glorious scene as coolly as thou wouldst regard a street in Moguer, or a field in Andalusia?" |
36406 | she said;"ever ready to support him, and foremost in all hazards?" |
36406 | she said;"hath Colon so convinced thee, that thou art thus zealous in his behalf?" |
36406 | the greater for the less? |
36406 | to gain the approbation of her guardian? |
36406 | to put to sleep the vigilance of her friends? |
36406 | to the admiral and viceroy of thy sovereign, the Doña Isabella?" |
36406 | turning quickly to Luis de Bobadilla;"is it to serve God that you also go on this unusual voyage?" |
36406 | what hath called thee from thy position in the van, to this unseemly familiarity with the varlets in the rear?" |
36406 | what is the extension of the sway of Castile to me, who can never be its king? |
36406 | what meanest thou? |
36406 | why hath the Infidel, at this moment, possession of the Holy Sepulchre? |
