26716 | If there is no rest which remaineth for you, is there none you might presently take? |
26716 | If we could break this bit under the glass, what would it be like? |
26716 | If you please, sir,--would you tell us-- what are''faults''? |
26716 | If you were to embank Lincolnshire more stoutly against the sea? |
26716 | In what way? |
26716 | Indeed; what else is there? |
26716 | Is it iron? |
26716 | Is it more profane, think you-- or more tender-- nay, perhaps, in the core of it, more true? |
26716 | Is it not the complete fulfilment, down into the very dust, of that verse:''The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain''? |
26716 | Is it not? |
26716 | Is it therefore easier for you in your heart to inflict the sorrow for which there is no remedy? |
26716 | Is n''t he cross? |
26716 | Is not all the life of the soul in communion, not separation? |
26716 | Is not that, broadly, and in the main features, the kind of thing you propose to yourselves? |
26716 | Is not the evidence of Ease on the very front of all the greatest works in existence? |
26716 | Is not this an edge- tool we have got hold of, unawares? |
26716 | Is not this saying much? |
26716 | Is that really so? |
26716 | Is that the way? |
26716 | Is the earth only an hospital? |
26716 | Is there much to be thought-- I mean, much to puzzle one? |
26716 | Is this then all that Heavy Peg and our nine Kurfürsts have done for us? |
26716 | It is but a little island;--suppose, little as it is, you were to fill it with friends? |
26716 | It is not the crystalline lens of your eyes which is sorry, when you cry? |
26716 | It is very delightful to imagine the mountains to be alive; but then,--_are_ they alive? |
26716 | Katie, you broke your coral necklace this morning? |
26716 | L. All about what? |
26716 | L. And how much can you allow for Lily''s good packing, in guessing what will go into the trunk? |
26716 | L. And she was very fond of Alice? |
26716 | L. And so when Alice went away? |
26716 | L. And they would n''t be helped, I suppose? |
26716 | L. And when you mend a decayed stuff with strong thread, does not the whole edge come away sometimes, when it tears again? |
26716 | L. Are you sure the ants could not have helped you, Lily? |
26716 | L. But if it is answered, wo n''t it turn into two? |
26716 | L. But if nobody has ever seen them? |
26716 | L. But none of them left their sticks to help you through the irregular verb? |
26716 | L. But what did she want to ask? |
26716 | L. But when a great many persons get together they do n''t take the shape of one person? |
26716 | L. But why did you want to get out of the valley? |
26716 | L. But why do you want me to tell you true, any more than the man who wrote the''Arabian Nights?'' |
26716 | L. But, Egypt, why did you tell me you disliked sewing so? |
26716 | L. Can you play a Mozart sonata yet, Isabel? |
26716 | L. Certainly it is not;--how can you possibly speak any truth out of such a heart as you have? |
26716 | L. Did you never see a bit of green leaf before, Florrie? |
26716 | L. For people who do n''t love you, and whom you know nothing about? |
26716 | L. How else could it get there? |
26716 | L. How large were the others? |
26716 | L. If I thought anyone else could answer better than you, Lucilla, I would; but suppose I try, instead, myself, to explain your feelings to you? |
26716 | L. If it be, what will you gain by unpersonifying it, or what right have you to do so? |
26716 | L. In your shoulders, then? |
26716 | L. Is n''t that pretty, children? |
26716 | L. My dear child, what good? |
26716 | L. My dear, it is the proverb of proverbs; Apollo''s proverb, and the sun''s;--but do you think you can know yourself by looking_ into_ yourself? |
26716 | L. Nor you, Sibyl? |
26716 | L. Only one? |
26716 | L. Only that it tells lies within you? |
26716 | L. Saved from what, my dear? |
26716 | L. That you have an entirely bad heart? |
26716 | L. That''s very hard, Florrie; why must n''t I, if you may? |
26716 | L. Then why should they bear it? |
26716 | L. Then, have you two hearts; one of which is wicked, and the other grieved? |
26716 | L. There is no occasion for understanding it; but do you feel it? |
26716 | L. Well, then, you are sorry in your heart? |
26716 | L. Well; and what do you mean by''giving up one''s self?'' |
26716 | L. What are you sorry with, Lucilla? |
26716 | L. What did I say first? |
26716 | L. What do you call real things? |
26716 | L. What do you mean by a group, and what by one crystal? |
26716 | L. What do_ you_ mean by dressing? |
26716 | L. What is it then? |
26716 | L. What is it to be alive? |
26716 | L. What''s that, May? |
26716 | L. Whether you can see them or not? |
26716 | L. Why not little girls, then? |
26716 | L. Why not little girls? |
26716 | L. Why not rather others for you? |
26716 | L. Why not, Isabel? |
26716 | L. Why not? |
26716 | L. Would you really rather pull out your own than Tittie''s? |
26716 | L. Yes; I mean, where do you feel sorry? |
26716 | L. You are indeed commanded to cut off and to pluck out, if foot or eye offend you; but why_ should_ they offend you? |
26716 | L. You are sure of that? |
26716 | L. You do n''t call that a''question,''seriously, Violet? |
26716 | L. You never heard of such things? |
26716 | L. You think it should go down into a valley? |
26716 | Lily, what were you so busy about, at the ant- hill in the wood, this morning? |
26716 | May I call you-- let me see--''primary molecules?'' |
26716 | May I touch them? |
26716 | May I try? |
26716 | May we break it? |
26716 | May we break this, too? |
26716 | May we sculpture her so? |
26716 | May you sculpture it where it hangs? |
26716 | Me singing? |
26716 | Mephistopheles in vain calls to them--"What do you duck and shrink for-- is that proper hellish behaviour? |
26716 | Mercy on us( you think), what will she say next? |
26716 | Might we look at that piece of broken quartz again, with the weak little film across it? |
26716 | Must n''t the ones in the middle be the nearest, and the outside ones farther off-- when we go away to scatter, I mean? |
26716 | Nature asks of him calmly and inevitably, What have you found, or formed-- the right thing or the wrong? |
26716 | Nay, but( it is asked) how is that an unfair advantage? |
26716 | Nay, if you blush so, Kathleen, how can one help looking? |
26716 | Neith''s pyramid? |
26716 | Next, why has it a rim? |
26716 | No, I ca n''t; will you tell us, please? |
26716 | No, because they ca n''t; but, you know the crystals can; so why should n''t they? |
26716 | No; but if one wants to read an amusing book, instead of learning one''s lesson? |
26716 | Not above three- quarters of an hour, I think, Jess? |
26716 | Not altogether so; but indeed the_ Vocal_ piety seemed conclusively to have retired( or excursed?) |
26716 | Not gold, not greenbacks, not ciphers after a capital I? |
26716 | Now, do you mean to say you never go to these Crystal Palace concerts? |
26716 | Now, first of all, what do you mean by''bricks?'' |
26716 | Now, how do you consider that these several institutes differ, or ought to differ, from''idle men''s''institutes and''idle men''s''colleges? |
26716 | Now, lastly, will you tell me what_ we_ worship, and what_ we_ build? |
26716 | Now, shall I try to tell you? |
26716 | Now, what playground have the minerals? |
26716 | Now, what right have any of us to assume that our own fancies will assuredly be either the one or the other? |
26716 | Of real gold? |
26716 | Oh dear, oh dear; and then? |
26716 | Oh, but suppose that they had minded me? |
26716 | Oh, can not you show us one? |
26716 | Oh, dear; but is the calcite harder than the crystal then? |
26716 | Oh, please, but did n''t Neith say anything then? |
26716 | Oh, where? |
26716 | On the chance of its being so, might I ask hearing for just a few words more of the school of Belial? |
26716 | Or are we perchance, many of us, still erring somewhat in our notions alike of Divinity and Humanity,--poetical extraction, and moral position? |
26716 | Or by what other word than''idle''shall I distinguish those whom the happiest and wisest of working men do not object to call the''Upper Classes?'' |
26716 | Or does the mode of distribution in any wise affect the nature of the riches? |
26716 | Or if a few slave- masters are rich, and the nation is otherwise composed of slaves, is it to be called a rich nation? |
26716 | Or is it conceivable that they might have been real beings,--good spirits,--entrusted with some message from the true God? |
26716 | Or me? |
26716 | Or were they actually real beings-- evil spirits,--leading men away from the true God? |
26716 | Or, suppose that they can neither be of one mind, nor of two minds, but can only be of_ no_ mind? |
26716 | Ought not that to disturb some of your thoughts respecting Greek idealism? |
26716 | Our third and last virtue, I suppose? |
26716 | Paved with garnets? |
26716 | People in Rome only? |
26716 | QUESTION SECOND.--What is the quantity of the store, in relation to the population? |
26716 | Qui discrepat istis Qui nummos aurumque recondit, nescius uti Compositis; metuensque velut contingere sacrum? |
26716 | Red water? |
26716 | Shall we find in their artwork any of that pensiveness and yearning for the dead, which fills the chants of their tragedy? |
26716 | Shall we never listen to the words of these wisest of men? |
26716 | Shall we read them again? |
26716 | Should it, if not by your servants, be practised by yourselves? |
26716 | Should we not educate the whole intellect into general strength, and all the affections into warmth and honesty, and look to heaven for the rest? |
26716 | Sindbad''s, which nobody could get out of? |
26716 | Sir-- surely-- are we not told that they are all evil? |
26716 | Sir? |
26716 | So I did; but that helped little; I thought of Dante''s forest of suicides, too, but you would not simply have borrowed that? |
26716 | So may n''t it really be divided into three? |
26716 | So much we pay for educating children gratis;--how much for educating diamonds gratis? |
26716 | Somehow, often as people say that, they never seem, to me, to believe it? |
26716 | Sorry with, sir? |
26716 | Stand fast, and let them strew"--"Was duckt und zuckt ihr; ist das Hellen- brauch? |
26716 | Suppose it should thus turn out, finally, that a true government set to true work, instead of being a costly engine, was a paying one? |
26716 | Suppose we use this calamitous forenoon to choose the shapes we are to crystallise into? |
26716 | Suppose, instead of this volunteer marching and countermarching, you were to do a little volunteer ploughing and counter- ploughing? |
26716 | Surely it is more wonderful than anything in botany? |
26716 | The Teutsch Ritters, fighting him for charity, are they so much inferior to you? |
26716 | The first question, then, which we have to put under our simple conception of central Government, namely,"What store has it?" |
26716 | The first, and last, and closest trial question to any living creature is,''What do you like?'' |
26716 | The second inquiry into two: 1. Who are the Holders of the store, and in what proportions? |
26716 | Then do the good ones get angry? |
26716 | Then may we only learn the three? |
26716 | Then we really may believe that the mountains are living? |
26716 | Then, we are all to learn dress- making, are we? |
26716 | There is no God, but have we not invented gunpowder?--who wants a God, with that in his pocket? |
26716 | There''s no doubt of conscience about that, I suppose? |
26716 | Therefore, when your pauper comes to you and asks for bread, ask of him instantly-- What faculty have you? |
26716 | These were the questions you wanted to ask; were they not, Lucilla? |
26716 | They had deliberately closed their eyes to all nature, and had gone on inquiring,"Where do you put your brown tree?" |
26716 | They understand now: but, do you know what you said next? |
26716 | They would not openly ask of their hearers-- Did you think my sermon ingenious, or my language poetical? |
26716 | Think you that''men may come, and men may go,''but-- mills-- go on forever? |
26716 | Thus, if the king alone be rich-- suppose Croesus or Mausolus-- are the Lydians or Carians therefore a rich nation? |
26716 | To be heroic in change and sway of fortune is little;--for do you not love? |
26716 | To be patient through the great chasm and pause of loss is little;--for do you not still love in heaven? |
26716 | To our honesty of heart, or coolness of head, or steadiness of will? |
26716 | To our thinkers, or our statesmen, or our poets, or our captains, or our martyrs, or the patient labour of our poor? |
26716 | To wear semblances, to be ready with evasive words, how is this, Mr. Carlyle? |
26716 | To what our English sires have done for us, and taught us, age after age? |
26716 | Too illiberal, you think; and what would Mr. J. S. Mill say? |
26716 | Was any woman, do you suppose, ever the better for possessing diamonds? |
26716 | Was ever man the better for having coffers full of gold? |
26716 | Was it an angel of death to the Jew only, or to the Gentile also?'' |
26716 | Was that really possible? |
26716 | Was the heart pure and true-- tell us that? |
26716 | Well then, next, what do you mean by the flying of the bricks? |
26716 | Well, but if people do as well as they can see how, surely that is the right for them, is n''t it? |
26716 | Well, but surely, at least one ought to be afraid of displeasing God; and one''s desire to please Him should be one''s first motive? |
26716 | Well, first one would string them, I suppose? |
26716 | Well, gentlemen, who taught them that method of festivity? |
26716 | Well, then, first of all-- What shall we ask first, Mary? |
26716 | Well, then, who are called to be that? |
26716 | Well, what in the name of Plutus is it you want? |
26716 | Well, what is that? |
26716 | Well-- but it is answered, are we to have no diamonds, nor china, nor pictures, nor footmen, then-- but all to be farmers? |
26716 | Were not you reading about that group of words beginning with V,--vital, virtuous, vigorous, and so on,--in Max Muller, the other day, Sibyl? |
26716 | Were they idly imagined to be real beings? |
26716 | What are Hamburg pedlars made for but to be robbed?" |
26716 | What are the principles which regulate the rent which may thus be paid?" |
26716 | What can you do best? |
26716 | What do you mean by a great nation, but a great multitude of men who are true to each other, and strong, and of worth? |
26716 | What do you mean by a group of people? |
26716 | What do you mean by doing this? |
26716 | What do you think the beautiful word''wife''comes from? |
26716 | What does it matter whether I get short weight, adulterate substance, or dishonest fabric? |
26716 | What does it matter, as long as they remain stupid, whether you change their feelings or not? |
26716 | What does''Tourmaline''mean? |
26716 | What does''cooking''mean? |
26716 | What function? |
26716 | What is it the atoms do, that is like flying? |
26716 | What is it then-- is it ciphers after a capital I? |
26716 | What is it? |
26716 | What is it? |
26716 | What is its quantity in relation to the currency? |
26716 | What is its quantity in relation to the population? |
26716 | What is the nature of the store? |
26716 | What is the nature of the store? |
26716 | What is the quantity of the store in relation to the Currency? |
26716 | What is wise work, and what is foolish work? |
26716 | What melody does Tityrus meditate on his tenderly spiral pipe? |
26716 | What mode or limit of representation may we adopt? |
26716 | What more need we ask? |
26716 | What practical difference is there between''that,''and what you are talking about? |
26716 | What the difference between sense and nonsense, in daily occupation? |
26716 | What trials have they? |
26716 | What was to be the impulse communicated by her prevailing presence; what the sign of the people''s obedience to her? |
26716 | What worth is there in toys of canvas and stone if compared to the joy and peace of artless domestic life?'' |
26716 | What would be the next way? |
26716 | What, you say, those glorious cathedrals-- the pride of Europe-- did their builders not form Gothic architecture? |
26716 | What-- having the gift of imagery-- should we by preference endeavour to image? |
26716 | What_ can_ the nasty hard thing be? |
26716 | What_ is_ to become of them? |
26716 | Whatever gifts the boy had, would much be likely to come of them so treated? |
26716 | When first these essays were published, I remember one of their reviewers asking contemptuously,"Is half- a- crown a document?" |
26716 | When the two halves of the dining table came separate, yesterday, was that a''fault''? |
26716 | Where are men ever to be happy, if not in England? |
26716 | Where are they scattered before they are crystallised; and where are the crystals generally made? |
26716 | Where does it come from? |
26716 | Where is the political economist in France, or England, who ventured to assert the conclusions of his science as adverse to this system? |
26716 | Where were you? |
26716 | Whereupon arises the question, what opportunity have you to obtain engravings? |
26716 | Which Samaritan woman''s? |
26716 | Which has betrayed it-- falsified it? |
26716 | Which of them has failed from their nature-- from their present, possible, actual nature;--not their nature of long ago, but their nature of now? |
26716 | Who is bravest? |
26716 | Who is there who does not sympathize with him in the simple love with which he dwells on the brightness and bloom of our summer fruit and flowers? |
26716 | Who is there who for a moment could contend with him in the unaffected, yet humorous truth with which he has painted our peasant children? |
26716 | Who is wisest? |
26716 | Who packed your trunk for you, last holidays, Isabel? |
26716 | Whose fault is it? |
26716 | Why did n''t you take me with you? |
26716 | Why do you say Neith does it? |
26716 | Why has it been made round? |
26716 | Why not say it all depended on Herodias''daughter, at once? |
26716 | Why should it not be represented, if possible, just as it is seen? |
26716 | Why should n''t she? |
26716 | Why should you not be ashamed also to do it in public place and power? |
26716 | Why should you suppose that Nature always means you to know exactly how far one thing is from another? |
26716 | Why speak of these lower services? |
26716 | Why, giving up one''s pleasures is not killing one''s self? |
26716 | Wicked, sir? |
26716 | Wilful error is limited by the will, but what limit is there to that of which we are unconscious? |
26716 | Will Dryden do? |
26716 | Will God be satisfied with us, think you, if we read His words merely for the sake of an entirely meaningless poetical sensation? |
26716 | Will you allow me to ask precisely the meaning of this? |
26716 | Will you have Paul Veronese to paint your ceiling, or the plumber from over the way? |
26716 | Will you have dominion over its stones, or over its clouds, or over its souls? |
26716 | Will you put an Olympus of silver upon a golden Pelion-- make Ossa like a wart? |
26716 | Will you take, for foundation of act and hope, the faith that this man was such as God made him, or that this woman was such as God made her? |
26716 | Will you take, wantonly, this little all of his life from your poor brother, and make his brief hours long to him with pain? |
26716 | Will you trust me meanwhile? |
26716 | With broad highway to Paris and little hindrance--_we_ scattered, helpless here and there-- what to advise? |
26716 | Wo n''t that do? |
26716 | Wo n''t you tell us what it means? |
26716 | Would a crystallographer? |
26716 | Would it be more beautiful uncut? |
26716 | Would that leaf gold separate into finer leaves, in the same way? |
26716 | Would you like to see how they really are found? |
26716 | Would''st thou have laughed, had I come coffin''d home That weep''st to see me triumph? |
26716 | Yes(_ presently finding it_); where shall I begin? |
26716 | Yes, yes,--and then? |
26716 | Yet do we ever ask ourselves, personally, or even nationally, whether our work is coming to anything or not? |
26716 | Yet what machine is so vast, so incognisable, as the working of the mind of a nation what child''s touch so wanton, as the word of a selfish king? |
26716 | You are, on the whole, very good children sitting here to- day;--do you think that your goodness comes all by your own contriving? |
26716 | You do n''t mean that she is a real spirit, do you? |
26716 | You do n''t understand perhaps why I call you''sentimental''schoolboys, when you go into the army? |
26716 | You doubt who is strongest? |
26716 | You fancy, perhaps, that there is a severe sense of duty mixed with these peacocky motives? |
26716 | You feel, doubtless, that your own idea of Christ would be something very different from this; but in what does the difference consist? |
26716 | You gather corn:--will you bury England under a heap of grain; or will you, when you have gathered, finally eat? |
26716 | You gather gold:--will you make your house- roofs of it, or pave your streets with it? |
26716 | You know I was to tell about the words that began with V. Sibyl, what does''virtue''mean, literally? |
26716 | You know the place I mean, do not you? |
26716 | You like me to see you dancing, do n''t you Lily? |
26716 | You shall have thousands of gold pieces;--thousands of thousands-- millions-- mountains, of gold: where will you keep them? |
26716 | You think Pindar wrote that carelessly? |
26716 | You think you can make him like Dante and Beethoven? |
26716 | You were at Chamouni last year, Sibyl; did your guide chance to show you the pierced rock of the Aiguille du Midi? |
26716 | You were too proud to become merchants or farmers yourselves: will you have merchants or farmers then for your field marshals? |
26716 | You were too proud to become shopkeepers: are you satisfied then to become the servants of shopkeepers? |
26716 | You would be afraid to answer that your heart_ was_ pure and true, would not you? |
26716 | You would not have had me take my crown off, and stoop all the way down a passage fit only for rats? |
26716 | You, for instance, Lucilla, who think often, and seriously, of such things? |
26716 | [ 100] What general feeling, it may be asked incredulously, can possibly pervade all this? |
26716 | [ 167]''One other such novel, and there''s an end; but who can last for ever? |
26716 | [ 84] But how will he apply this labour? |
26716 | _ Did_ Providence put them in that position, or did_ you_? |
26716 | and I am to sit here to be asked questions till supper- time, am I? |
26716 | and can you never lie down_ upon_ it, but only_ under_ it? |
26716 | and can you say why such half- dozen lines are good, or bad? |
26716 | and did they so usurp the place of the true God? |
26716 | and how is the worker of it to be comforted, redeemed, and rewarded? |
26716 | and silent_ all_? |
26716 | and surely we are to sacrifice ourselves, at least in God''s service, if not in man''s? |
26716 | and that, though we may not take advantage of a child''s or a woman''s weakness, we may of a man''s foolishness? |
26716 | and what kind of play should he have, and what rest, in this world, sometimes, as well as in the next? |
26716 | and which pays best for brightening, the spirit or the charcoal? |
26716 | and why have n''t you brought me some diamonds? |
26716 | as thoroughly and confessedly either one or the other? |
