| 63652 | So this was the wrong Earth all the time, eh? 63652 And did he think we''d change now after nine hundred years?_ 63652 But what did it matter now? 63652 But where_ was_ Earth? 63652 Did he think he was the first one? 63652 Home World? 63652 How many times had it been repeated now, some 80,000? 63652 Name? 63652 Occupation? |

| 55387 | And what is that description? |
| 55387 | And, says Proctor, in continuation:"He[ Hampden?] |
| 55387 | Are they to be bolstered up with absurdity and falsehood? |
| 55387 | Besides, the other worlds and suns-- some cooling down-- some hot!-- How can you say, you want a proof, with all these in the pot? |
| 55387 | By a thing without a soul-- a mere theoretical abstraction, the outcome of the dreamer? |

| 55387 | [ What a mistake!?] |
| 605 | And what is that condition? |
| 605 | And whence come you? |
| 605 | And where is Dian the Beautiful One now? |
| 605 | And why,I asked,"does Goork, your father, desire to join his kingdom to the empire?" |
| 605 | And you? |
| 605 | And you? |
| 605 | But if you remain a prisoner in Phutra, what may we accomplish? 605 Can you direct me to the cave so that I can find it alone?" |
| 605 | Can you dive when they come too close? 605 Dian?" |
| 605 | Did n''t he come this way? |
| 605 | Do you recall that time you stepped upon the thing you call viper in your world? |
| 605 | Have the scoundrels departed? |
| 605 | Have you killed them all? |
| 605 | Have you no clue as to the whereabouts of Dian? |
| 605 | He was,I admitted;"but where in the world do you suppose he disappeared to?" |
| 605 | How could you do that alone? |
| 605 | If you hate Hooja,I suggested,"why not let me, who hate him, too, go and punish him?" |
| 605 | Just been waiting all your life to be tamed and loved, have n''t you, old man? |
| 605 | There is no danger that Hooja will come while you are away? |
| 605 | Well, how long were you gone from Anoroc before we picked you up in the Sojar Az? |
| 605 | What could the men of Pellucidar do without you to lead them? 605 What have you there?" |
| 605 | What in the world,thought I,"is this thing doing here?" |
| 605 | What of it? 605 What shall we do?" |
| 605 | What will become of you if you do n''t surrender to us? |
| 605 | What would you of our chief? |
| 605 | Where are you, woman? |
| 605 | Where is he? |
| 605 | Where is he? |
| 605 | Where is the token? |
| 605 | Who are you who seek Ja? |
| 605 | Who are you? |
| 605 | Who are you? |
| 605 | Who are you? |
| 605 | Who could this man be,I asked Ghak,"who leads so vile a movement against his own kind?" |
| 605 | Who is Tu- al- sa? |
| 605 | Why did you kill them? |
| 605 | Why should she wish to have my life spared? |
| 605 | You will not kill me? |
| 605 | And Juag? |
| 605 | And if I could not, of what value was all this vast storehouse of potential civilization and progress to be to the world of my adoption? |
| 605 | And if I set out to search-- what then? |
| 605 | And now-- why am I writing you? |
| 605 | And then a woman''s voice answered him:"And what does Hooja want of me?" |
| 605 | And yet where WERE the other ends of those wires? |
| 605 | But how was I to guess in which direction lay Sari? |
| 605 | Did Abner Perry, the lovable old inventor and paleontologist, still live? |
| 605 | Did I take advantage of my opportunity? |
| 605 | Doubtless you have heard of me?" |
| 605 | How are you to find your friend in all the great country that is visible from their rugged flanks?" |
| 605 | How can he reward you?" |
| 605 | How could I sleep with that ferocious thing prowling about the narrow confines of our prison? |
| 605 | How had it come here? |
| 605 | How had she explained them? |
| 605 | I ventured to imagine that they would have given me much more than my liberty to have it safely in their keeping again; but after that-- what? |
| 605 | If Dian was, she hid it; for was she not the daughter of a once great chief, the sister of a king, and the mate of an emperor? |
| 605 | If so, by what manner and form of creature? |
| 605 | Of what crime could she be guilty that she must expiate it in the dreaded arena? |
| 605 | Personally, I think that we slept at least a month; but who may say? |
| 605 | Upon the other hand, if I remained here alone with it, what could I accomplish single- handed? |
| 605 | Was it inhabited? |
| 605 | Was there a civilization within Pellucidar of such wondrous advancement as this? |
| 605 | Were there far- distant lands of which none of my people had ever heard, where a race had so greatly outstripped all other races of this inner world? |
| 605 | What are you, and what strange thing is that which flutters from the little tree in the front of your canoe?" |
| 605 | What could have become of her in the brief interval since I had seen her standing just behind me? |
| 605 | What could it mean? |
| 605 | What did it contain? |
| 605 | What do you intend to do with me?" |
| 605 | What had been the effect upon her of the moon and myriad stars of the clear African nights? |
| 605 | What had she thought of the outer world''s tiny sun? |
| 605 | What human being could be upon such excellent terms with the gorilla- men? |
| 605 | What thoughts were passing through the convolutions of her reptilian brain? |
| 605 | Where could she be? |
| 605 | Where had they come from? |
| 605 | Where is the land? |
| 605 | Who could they be? |
| 605 | Why should we fear the Mahars? |
| 605 | Will you believe me now when I tell you that I hate Hooja and his tribe as much as you do? |
| 605 | Will you believe me when I tell you that I wish to be the friend of Gr- gr- gr?" |
| 605 | Would I have believed in it had I not seen it with my own eyes? |
| 605 | Would they keep their promises? |
| 545 | And could you aid David in his search for Dian? |
| 545 | And if it should prove solid? |
| 545 | And suppose it is the arena,I continued;"what then?" |
| 545 | And what will they do with me there? |
| 545 | And why did you run away from him? |
| 545 | Are you crazy, Perry? 545 Are you not glad to see me?" |
| 545 | As you dare not return to Amoz,I ventured,"what is to become of you since you can not be happy here with me, hating me as you do?" |
| 545 | But Jubal''s brothers-- and cousins--I reminded her,"how about them?" |
| 545 | But how am I to find the Mountains of the Clouds? |
| 545 | But how,persisted Perry,"could you travel to strange country without heavenly bodies or a compass to guide you?" |
| 545 | But my boy,he continued,"does n''t that temperature reading mean anything to you? |
| 545 | But the grotesque inhabitants of this forest? |
| 545 | But what had that to do with his brothers? |
| 545 | But why did you do it? |
| 545 | Could you find your way back to your own land? |
| 545 | David, my boy,he said,"how could you for a moment doubt my love for you? |
| 545 | David,he said abruptly,"do you perceive anything unusual about the horizon?" |
| 545 | Death is it that appalls you? 545 Dian,"I said,"wo n''t you tell me that you are not sorry that I have found you?" |
| 545 | Did you expect me to run into your arms, and say that I loved you before I knew that you loved me? |
| 545 | Do you happen to know,he asked,"what the Mahars do to slaves who lie to them?" |
| 545 | Do you mean that they do not believe me? |
| 545 | Do you mean to say that you expected any one to believe so impossible a lie? |
| 545 | Do you think that we are dead, and this is heaven? |
| 545 | Does he too want you, or has the option on you become a family heirloom, to be passed on down from generation to generation? |
| 545 | From where else then did I come? 545 Had Jubal any cousins?" |
| 545 | How came you here? |
| 545 | How in the world can the sun shine through five hundred miles of solid crust? |
| 545 | How large is Pellucidar? |
| 545 | How thick is the Earth''s crust, Perry? |
| 545 | Is there naught that we may do to save her? |
| 545 | Is there no escape? |
| 545 | It is sure death in either event? |
| 545 | Ja,I said,"what would you say were I to tell you that in so far as the Mahars''theory of the shape of Pellucidar is concerned it is correct?" |
| 545 | Murder to kill a reptilian monster? |
| 545 | My God, Perry, where are we? |
| 545 | Now what do you suppose they intend doing with us? |
| 545 | Then Dian could have found her way directly to her own people? |
| 545 | Then you have n''t hated me at all, Dian? |
| 545 | There is a slender chance for me then if I be sent to the arena, and none at all if the learned ones drag me to the pits? |
| 545 | They gained their liberty? 545 What are the human beings doing here?" |
| 545 | What are the readings now, David? |
| 545 | What are they going to do with me? |
| 545 | What are you doing here? |
| 545 | What can it mean? 545 What can we do?" |
| 545 | What do you here? |
| 545 | What do you mean Perry? |
| 545 | What do you mean? |
| 545 | What do you mean? |
| 545 | What do you want of my spear? |
| 545 | What happened? 545 What has he to do with it?" |
| 545 | What is the Land of Awful Shadow? |
| 545 | What is there horrible about it, David? |
| 545 | What will they do with me,I asked,"if they do not have a mind to believe me?" |
| 545 | What will they do with you? |
| 545 | Where are they taking us? |
| 545 | Where do they live? |
| 545 | Where else might I go? |
| 545 | Where on earth can we be? |
| 545 | Where within vast Pellucidar would you search for your Dian? 545 Who are the Mezops?" |
| 545 | Who are you,he continued,"and from what country do you come?" |
| 545 | Who can tell? |
| 545 | Who is Jubal the Ugly One? |
| 545 | Why DOES a woman run away from a man? |
| 545 | Why did n''t you do this at first, David? 545 Why do you hate me, Dian?" |
| 545 | Why should I deceive a stranger, or attempt to, in so simple a matter as the date? |
| 545 | Why should they object to eating human flesh,I asked,"if it is true that they look upon us as lower animals?" |
| 545 | You live upon the under side of Pellucidar, and walk always with your head pointed downward? |
| 545 | You mean to say that we turned back in the ice stratum, David? 545 You saw the two who met the tarag and the thag the time that you escaped?" |
| 545 | You say we''re back at the surface, David? 545 You would return to captivity?" |
| 545 | You? |
| 545 | Am I correct?" |
| 545 | Am I not happy? |
| 545 | Am I not well fed and well treated? |
| 545 | And how?" |
| 545 | And the girl? |
| 545 | And the horizon-- could it present the strange aspects which we both noted unless we were indeed standing upon the inside surface of a sphere?" |
| 545 | Are you frightened?" |
| 545 | As it continued to cool, what happened? |
| 545 | But why do you return, having once made good your escape?" |
| 545 | But would we be alive to know or care? |
| 545 | But yet where else? |
| 545 | Ca n''t you understand that I love you? |
| 545 | Can it be possible that you escaped?" |
| 545 | Can it be that both of us are right and at the same time both are wrong? |
| 545 | Can the earth be cold at the center?" |
| 545 | Could it be that I had plunged into a cul- de- sac? |
| 545 | Did I say safely lodged? |
| 545 | Did I say thinly veiled? |
| 545 | Did he reach it, or lies he somewhere buried in the heart of the great crust? |
| 545 | Did n''t you know it?" |
| 545 | Did the Arabs murder him, after all, just on the eve of his departure? |
| 545 | Do I make myself quite clear?" |
| 545 | Do n''t you recall the sudden whirling of our seats? |
| 545 | Do you catch my meaning?" |
| 545 | Do you mean to say that you have not missed me since that time we were separated by the charging thag within the arena?" |
| 545 | Do you notice the general configuration of the two areas? |
| 545 | Do you really mean that you do not know that you offended the Beautiful One, and how?" |
| 545 | Do you understand?" |
| 545 | Does not the strange fauna and flora which we have seen convince you that you are not in the world of your birth? |
| 545 | Does the answer lie somewhere upon the bosom of the broad Sahara, at the end of two tiny wires, hidden beneath a lost cairn? |
| 545 | How can that be? |
| 545 | How far did it extend? |
| 545 | How had it been accomplished? |
| 545 | How long have I been unconscious?" |
| 545 | I asked,"and what has happened to you since Hooja freed you from the Sagoths?" |
| 545 | I cried,"what are you doing here? |
| 545 | I exclaimed,"have n''t you a word for me after my long absence?" |
| 545 | Is that any way to treat a friend? |
| 545 | It is all right to IMAGINE them as existing in an equally imaginary epoch-- but now? |
| 545 | It was quite evident however that little less than a miracle could aid me, for what could I accomplish in this strange world, naked and unarmed? |
| 545 | Or, did he again turn the nose of his iron monster toward the inner world? |
| 545 | That I am going to have you? |
| 545 | That I love you better than all else in this world or my own? |
| 545 | That love like mine can not be denied?" |
| 545 | We have been carried back a million years, David, to the childhood of a planet-- is it not wondrous?" |
| 545 | Were they inhabitants of the same world into which I had been born? |
| 545 | What a silly man you are, David?" |
| 545 | What better lot could man desire?" |
| 545 | What could it mean? |
| 545 | What do you suppose they can be? |
| 545 | What does the distance meter read?" |
| 545 | What else may I do under the circumstances?" |
| 545 | What had become of Perry? |
| 545 | What has happened?" |
| 545 | What were the intentions of these half- human things into whose hands I had fallen? |
| 545 | What year is it?" |
| 545 | Where in the world are we? |
| 545 | Where is it now?" |
| 545 | Why should I not desire to be in Phutra? |
| 545 | Why-- why what does it mean? |
| 545 | Will you accompany us?" |
| 545 | Will you come?" |
| 545 | Without stars, or moon, or changing sun how could you find her even though you knew where she might be found?" |
| 545 | Would I ever see him again? |
| 545 | Would it stop at this point again, or would it continue its merciless climb? |
| 545 | You were about to tell me where we are when that great hairy frigate bore down upon us-- have you really any idea at all?" |
| 123 | And could you aid David in his search for Dian? |
| 123 | And if it should prove solid? |
| 123 | And suppose it is the arena,I continued;"what then?" |
| 123 | And what will they do with me there? |
| 123 | And why did you run away from him? |
| 123 | Are you crazy, Perry? 123 Are you not glad to see me?" |
| 123 | As you dare not return to Amoz,I ventured,"what is to become of you since you can not be happy here with me, hating me as you do?" |

| 123 | Can it be that both of us are right and at the same time both are wrong? |
| 123 | Can the earth be cold at the center?" |
| 123 | Could it be that I had plunged into a cul- de- sac? |
| 123 | Did I say safely lodged? |
| 123 | Did I say thinly veiled? |
| 123 | Did he reach it, or lies he somewhere buried in the heart of the great crust? |
| 123 | Did n''t you know it?" |
| 123 | Did the Arabs murder him, after all, just on the eve of his departure? |
| 123 | Do I make myself quite clear?" |
| 123 | Do n''t you recall the sudden whirling of our seats? |
| 123 | Do you catch my meaning?" |
| 123 | Do you mean to say that you have not missed me since that time we were separated by the charging thag within the arena?" |
| 123 | Do you notice the general configuration of the two areas? |
| 123 | Do you really mean that you do not know that you offended the Beautiful One, and how?" |
| 123 | Do you understand?" |
| 123 | Does not the strange fauna and flora which we have seen convince you that you are not in the world of your birth? |
| 123 | Does the answer lie somewhere upon the bosom of the broad Sahara, at the end of two tiny wires, hidden beneath a lost cairn? |
| 123 | How can that be? |
| 123 | How far did it extend? |
| 123 | How had it been accomplished? |
| 123 | How long have I been unconscious?" |
| 123 | I asked,"and what has happened to you since Hooja freed you from the Sagoths?" |
| 123 | I cried,"what are you doing here? |
| 123 | I exclaimed,"have n''t you a word for me after my long absence?" |
| 123 | Is that any way to treat a friend? |
| 123 | It is all right to IMAGINE them as existing in an equally imaginary epoch-- but now? |
| 123 | It was quite evident however that little less than a miracle could aid me, for what could I accomplish in this strange world, naked and unarmed? |
| 123 | Or, did he again turn the nose of his iron monster toward the inner world? |
| 123 | That I am going to have you? |
| 123 | That I love you better than all else in this world or my own? |
| 123 | That love like mine can not be denied?" |
| 123 | We have been carried back a million years, David, to the childhood of a planet-- is it not wondrous?" |
| 123 | Were they inhabitants of the same world into which I had been born? |
| 123 | What better lot could man desire?" |
| 123 | What could it mean? |
| 123 | What do you suppose they can be? |
| 123 | What does the distance meter read?" |
| 123 | What else may I do under the circumstances?" |
| 123 | What had become of Perry? |
| 123 | What has happened?" |
| 123 | What were the intentions of these half- human things into whose hands I had fallen? |
| 123 | What year is it?" |
| 123 | Where in the world are we? |
| 123 | Where is it now?" |
| 123 | Why should I not desire to be in Phutra? |
| 123 | Why-- why what does it mean? |
| 123 | Will you accompany us?" |
| 123 | Will you come?" |
| 123 | Without stars, or moon, or changing sun how could you find her even though you knew where she might be found?" |
| 123 | Would I ever see him again? |
| 123 | Would it stop at this point again, or would it continue its merciless climb? |
| 123 | You were about to tell me where we are when that great hairy frigate bore down upon us-- have you really any idea at all?" |
| 18857 | < i> Come si noma questa isola? |
| 18857 | < i> Dove noi siamo? |
| 18857 | A crater,he said,"you hear?" |
| 18857 | A menagerie? |
| 18857 | About as easy as German? |
| 18857 | According to your system,said my uncle;"but what does the thermometer say?" |
| 18857 | After all,I said to myself,"what do I risk? |
| 18857 | An island? |
| 18857 | And I suppose there is no farther progress to be made? |
| 18857 | And all my limbs are sound and capable of new exertion? |
| 18857 | And as to the direction-- are we still going to the southeast? |
| 18857 | And how so? |
| 18857 | And in the centre of it--? |
| 18857 | And pray why not? 18857 And that is all that makes you uneasy?" |
| 18857 | And that whales are playing in shoals, thrashing the bottom of the sea, the roof of our adamantine prison? |
| 18857 | And the other? |
| 18857 | And what is that? |
| 18857 | And what is that? |
| 18857 | And what may that be? |
| 18857 | And when do we go? |
| 18857 | And when we are still lower down? |
| 18857 | And why not? |
| 18857 | And you are surprised at this total absence of springs? |
| 18857 | And, his supper? |
| 18857 | Are we ascending to a living fire? |
| 18857 | Are we not utterly helpless? |
| 18857 | Are we shipwrecked, or what? |
| 18857 | Are you below or above? |
| 18857 | Are you convinced? |
| 18857 | Are you ill, Henry? |
| 18857 | Are you ready? |
| 18857 | Are you sure, sir? |
| 18857 | Are you there, Henry? |
| 18857 | Are you, after all, a coward, sir? |
| 18857 | As you say, what then? |
| 18857 | But even supposing this approximation to be a correct one-- what then? |
| 18857 | But if it be extinct? |
| 18857 | But is it not well- known that heat increases one degree for every seventy feet you descend into the earth? 18857 But see, what is all this about Yocul, and Sneffels, and this Scartaris? |
| 18857 | But supposing it were the island of Jan Mayen? |
| 18857 | But the compass,I cried,"without that what can we do?" |
| 18857 | But the water, the water, which is continually ascending? |
| 18857 | But the waterspout? |
| 18857 | But what about my head? |
| 18857 | But what are we to do for food? |
| 18857 | But what does this word Sneffels mean? |
| 18857 | But what is all this about Scartaris and the kalends of July--? |
| 18857 | But what is there to prove that this concrete mass of lava does not extend to the centre of the earth? 18857 But what man has been sufficiently desperate to do such a thing?" |
| 18857 | But what would you have us do? |
| 18857 | But when? |
| 18857 | But where has he found trees suitable for such a construction? |
| 18857 | But, Harry, my boy, why not? |
| 18857 | But, after all, where are we now? |
| 18857 | But, my dear sir, is not this paper very likely to be a hoax? |
| 18857 | But,I cried, after some moments''thought,"what about Arne Saknussemm?" |
| 18857 | But,I cried,"let me know what o''clock it is-- what day it is?" |
| 18857 | But,I exclaimed,"our clothes, this mass of cord and ladders-- who will undertake to carry them down?" |
| 18857 | But,cried I, much troubled at his coolness,"do you draw no conclusion from it?" |
| 18857 | But,cried I,"to what family does it belong?" |
| 18857 | But,said I,"how are we to cross yonder liquid plain?" |
| 18857 | But,said I,"is it not very much to be feared that this ever- increasing pressure may not in the end turn out very painful and inconvenient?" |
| 18857 | Can it be possible? |
| 18857 | Can it be possible? |
| 18857 | Can not you say whether you have slept well or not? |
| 18857 | Can you explain? |
| 18857 | Do you not see that the walls of the shaft are in motion? 18857 Do you not, can you not, recognize all the well- known symtons--""Of an earthquake? |
| 18857 | Do you see this? |
| 18857 | Do you think so? |
| 18857 | Do you think so? |
| 18857 | Eh, what is it? |
| 18857 | Eight thousand volumes, my dear sir-- why, where are they? |
| 18857 | Extinct? |
| 18857 | For bida? |
| 18857 | Go back,said my uncle, speaking to himself,"and must it be so?" |
| 18857 | Greenland? |
| 18857 | Have we anything like enough left to enable us to accomplish such great, such amazing, designs as you contemplate carrying out? |
| 18857 | Have we not returned to the surface of Mother Earth? |
| 18857 | Have you any idea of the depth we have reached? |
| 18857 | Have you discovered some wonderful manuscript? |
| 18857 | Have you gone mad? |
| 18857 | How about getting back? 18857 How about the key?" |
| 18857 | How can that be at such enormous depth from the surface of the earth? |
| 18857 | How can that be? |
| 18857 | How can that be? |
| 18857 | How can we tell? |
| 18857 | How do you mean? |
| 18857 | How is that? |
| 18857 | How long will the voyage last? |
| 18857 | How so? |
| 18857 | How the worse difficulty over? |
| 18857 | Hvar? |
| 18857 | I bring it? 18857 I have a great mind to begin my studies with an examination of the geological mysteries of this Mount Seffel-- Feisel-- what do you call it?" |
| 18857 | I know that is the case, but as we progress will not the atmosphere finally assume the density of water? |
| 18857 | I should hear? |
| 18857 | If he does wake what is to become of us? |
| 18857 | In Iceland? |
| 18857 | In ten minutes? |
| 18857 | Is he dumb? |
| 18857 | Is the eruption about to fail? |
| 18857 | It may be so, sir,I timidly observed,"but why conceal it from posterity, if it be a useful, a worthy discovery?" |
| 18857 | It must be they,I cried;"who else could by any possibility be buried a hundred miles below the level of the earth?" |
| 18857 | Library, sir? |
| 18857 | Make up our minds to what? |
| 18857 | Making a raft? |
| 18857 | My brain is strained beyond endurance-- what, what do you mean? |
| 18857 | My dear uncle, what can you mean? |
| 18857 | My fine fellow, do you or do you not mean to speak? |
| 18857 | No-- of these horrible hieroglyphics? |
| 18857 | Not in Iceland? |
| 18857 | On what basis do they rest? 18857 Only four miles out of twenty- two? |
| 18857 | Probably, but what extent do you allow to this internal ocean? |
| 18857 | Sea voyage? |
| 18857 | So much? |
| 18857 | So you begin to see it, do you, Harry? |
| 18857 | That I can see,was my lugubrious reply;"but where will this shaft end, and to what fall are we likely to be exposed?" |
| 18857 | That is so-- but of course these varied countries are uninhabited? |
| 18857 | That would indeed be a curious work, Uncle; but can you make your observations with anything like certainty and precision? |
| 18857 | The end of our expedition? |
| 18857 | The open air? |
| 18857 | Then how shall we be able to make our way through this atmospheric fog? |
| 18857 | Then the mighty waves of the Atlantic are rolling over our heads? |
| 18857 | Then truly I must be mad, for do I not see the light of day? 18857 Then when foreigners visit you, there is nothing for them to see?" |
| 18857 | Then you will own,he added,"that the system of Sir Humphry Davy is wholly justified by what we have seen?" |
| 18857 | Upwards,cried my uncle, shrugging his shoulders,"how can that be?" |
| 18857 | We are really off, then? |
| 18857 | We may do so,was my reply,"but what about our worthy guide?" |
| 18857 | Well, Harry, my boy,cried the delighted Professor, rubbing his hands together,"what say you now? |
| 18857 | Well, and have we a fair wind? |
| 18857 | Well, and what conclusion does that bring you to? |
| 18857 | Well, do n''t you see what has happened? 18857 Well, if I may ask, what conclusion do you draw from it yourself?" |
| 18857 | Well, my lad,he cried, rubbing his hands together,"have you slept soundly?" |
| 18857 | Well, then, do you not think that when once we reach the other end, we shall find some means of continuing our journey? |
| 18857 | Well,I cried,"what do you mean to do?" |
| 18857 | Well,cried I,"do you not see these different layers of calcareous rocks and the first indication of slate strata?" |
| 18857 | Well,he said, after giving me time thoroughly to appreciate the marvels of this underground sea,"do you feel strong enough to walk up and down?" |
| 18857 | Well,said I, after a short pause,"what do you think now? |
| 18857 | Well,said he sharply,"and what does this prove against my doctrine?" |
| 18857 | Well,said the Professor quickly,"what is the matter?" |
| 18857 | Well; what then? |
| 18857 | Well? |
| 18857 | Well? |
| 18857 | What can you mean, Uncle? |
| 18857 | What can you mean, sir? |
| 18857 | What does he say? |
| 18857 | What does this mysterious word signify? |
| 18857 | What else but gunpowder, a subterranean mine? 18857 What fear you now?" |
| 18857 | What for? |
| 18857 | What heat does the thermometer really indicate? |
| 18857 | What is it? |
| 18857 | What is the matter now? |
| 18857 | What is the matter now? |
| 18857 | What is the matter now? |
| 18857 | What is the matter, Harry? |
| 18857 | What is the matter? |
| 18857 | What is the matter? |
| 18857 | What is the matter? |
| 18857 | What is the name of this mountain, my friend? |
| 18857 | What is to be done? |
| 18857 | What key-- the key of the door? |
| 18857 | What made you bring with you so useless a weapon? |
| 18857 | What makes you think so? |
| 18857 | What matters that? |
| 18857 | What may that be, Uncle? 18857 What puts that into your head, my boy?" |
| 18857 | What then? |
| 18857 | What then? |
| 18857 | What then? |
| 18857 | What''s o''clock? |
| 18857 | What, the interior of the earth? |
| 18857 | What, then, my young friend, is your new cause of terror and alarm? |
| 18857 | What,cried my uncle,"tired after a three hours''walk, and by so easy a road?" |
| 18857 | What,he retorted,"did you speak?" |
| 18857 | What-- what is the matter? |
| 18857 | What? |
| 18857 | When can I see him-- today? |
| 18857 | When this piece of meat is devoured, Uncle, what hope will there remain unto us? |
| 18857 | Where are we? |
| 18857 | Where can we be? |
| 18857 | Where did all this wood come from? |
| 18857 | Where have you been wasting your time? 18857 Where? |
| 18857 | Why be at so much trouble to close this aperture? |
| 18857 | Why did you not say so before,cried my uncle;"why not start at once?" |
| 18857 | Why impossible? |
| 18857 | Why not? |
| 18857 | Why not? |
| 18857 | Why so, young man? |
| 18857 | Why so? |
| 18857 | Why, what is the matter? |
| 18857 | Why-- how should I know? 18857 Why?" |
| 18857 | Yes, my dear sir, we can do without them, but what about all our instruments? |
| 18857 | Yes, sir, all this is true, but his works? |
| 18857 | Yes, tell me where we are? |
| 18857 | You are not discouraged, sir? |
| 18857 | You do n''t mean to say that you have any idea of the meaning of the scrawl? |
| 18857 | You do not mean to say,I cried,"that we have captured a live specimen of a fish belonging to the primitive stock that existed before the deluge?" |
| 18857 | You mean to tell me, Uncle, that we shall get out of this monstrous subterranean shaft? |
| 18857 | You mean, then,I cried in amazement,"that he should accompany us?" |
| 18857 | You see all this smoke, Harry, my boy? |
| 18857 | You think so? |
| 18857 | ("Where?") |
| 18857 | --"What is the name of this island?" |
| 18857 | .........."And your lamp?" |
| 18857 | .........."Are you ready?" |
| 18857 | .........."But do you know whether to ascend or descend?" |
| 18857 | .........."But the guiding stream?" |
| 18857 | .........."My boy?" |
| 18857 | .........."Where are you?" |
| 18857 | .........."You have your chronometer at hand?" |
| 18857 | < i> I will go on alone.""You ask us to leave you?" |
| 18857 | A man had dared to do-- what? |
| 18857 | After all, was I ahead? |
| 18857 | After some little time my uncle spoke, in a low and scarcely audible tone:"Harry, boy, where are you?" |
| 18857 | After this what more could I say? |
| 18857 | All I want to know is how you propose we shall manage the return voyage?" |
| 18857 | Allow me to have the honor, Professor Hardwigg, to enroll you as an honorary member?" |
| 18857 | Am I, then, an inhabitant of the earth of the present day, destined to find myself face to face with a representative of this antediluvian family? |
| 18857 | And yet of what consequence was it in regard to any new danger? |
| 18857 | And, after all, what had he to be angry and annoyed about, now more than at any other time? |
| 18857 | Are not all bodies influenced by the law of universal attraction? |
| 18857 | Are they riveted to the flooring of the raft? |
| 18857 | Are we advancing towards some mighty waterfall which shall cast us into the abyss? |
| 18857 | Are we following the route indicated by that wondrous sage? |
| 18857 | Are we not doomed to perish in the great hollows of the centre of the earth?" |
| 18857 | Are we not nine hundred leagues distant from Reykjavik?" |
| 18857 | Are we still upon the sea? |
| 18857 | Are you not thinking of getting back to the surface of our beautiful earth?" |
| 18857 | Are you quite sure, Harry, that you are not mistaken?" |
| 18857 | As for the Ichthyosaurus, has he gone down to his mighty cavern under the sea to rest, or will he reappear to destroy us? |
| 18857 | Because the monster has slept soundly since 1219, does it follow that he is never to wake? |
| 18857 | But can I be altogether mistaken? |
| 18857 | But now that we have discussed matters of science and discovery, what are your future intentions? |
| 18857 | But though we were approaching the light of day, to what fearful dangers were we about to be exposed? |
| 18857 | But to what phenomenon do we owe this alteration in the needle?" |
| 18857 | But what effect can a rifle ball produce upon the armor scales with which the bodies of these horrid monsters are covered? |
| 18857 | But what is the matter?" |
| 18857 | But what is the meaning of this murmur of waves, this unmistakable moaning of the salt- sea billows? |
| 18857 | But what of the rest of this monstrous cryptograph? |
| 18857 | But what? |
| 18857 | But which course should I take? |
| 18857 | But who knows? |
| 18857 | But will it do you any good to devour it with your eyes? |
| 18857 | But, I frantically asked myself, how had I lost the course of the flowing stream? |
| 18857 | CHAPTER 19 THE WESTERN GALLERY-- A NEW ROUTE CHAPTER 20 WATER, WHERE IS IT? |
| 18857 | CHAPTER 20 WATER, WHERE IS IT? |
| 18857 | CHAPTER 3 AN ASTOUNDING DISCOVERY"What is the matter?" |
| 18857 | CHAPTER 36 WHAT IS IT? |
| 18857 | Can there be a doubt from their shape that the bite is the bite of a crocodile? |
| 18857 | Could I undertake to resist the iron will of two men? |
| 18857 | Could he, by any conceivable means, measure the thickness of the crust of the earth suspended above our heads? |
| 18857 | Did Hans the guide mean to abandon us? |
| 18857 | Did Saknussemm ever fall in with this great sheet of water? |
| 18857 | Did he possess any possible means of making any approximation to this calculation? |
| 18857 | Did he think of suspending his projects? |
| 18857 | Did not Galileo make a secret of his discoveries in connection with Saturn? |
| 18857 | Did they not belong to the two thousand and more known trees-- or were we to make the discovery of a new growth? |
| 18857 | Did you ever pass a more tranquil night in our house in the Konigstrasse? |
| 18857 | Do you know, my boy, Harry, that we have discovered an inland lake larger than the Mediterranean?" |
| 18857 | Do you not feel the terrible, torrid heat? |
| 18857 | Do you not know that in the neighborhood of Newcastle there are coal mines which have been worked far out under the sea?" |
| 18857 | Do you not observe the awful boiling water on which we float? |
| 18857 | Do you not remark this mad needle? |
| 18857 | Do you not see that the solid granite masses are cracking? |
| 18857 | Do you understand me, I say?" |
| 18857 | During the deep, still silence of the night had he at last heard that sweet murmur about which we were all so anxious? |
| 18857 | Follow the direction of one of its innumerable fjords or arms of the sea, and what do you see below the sixty- fifth degree of latitude?" |
| 18857 | From the interior of the earth? |
| 18857 | Give up just as we are on the verge of success?" |
| 18857 | Go on board-- what and how? |
| 18857 | Good again; this is the epoch of transition, at all events, we are close to them-- and then, and then--"What could the Professor mean? |
| 18857 | Had I heard aright? |
| 18857 | Had a soil of very peculiar nature, like that of the cemetery of St. Michel at Bordeaux, preserved it during countless ages? |
| 18857 | Had my uncle really and truly gone mad? |
| 18857 | Had we come upon a river, a lake, had we discovered some inland sea? |
| 18857 | Has he, on my account, given up his wondrous expedition, or in some strange manner has it come to an end?" |
| 18857 | Have you any answer to make to this statement?" |
| 18857 | Have you taken note of how wonderfully sound is propagated?" |
| 18857 | How about getting back?" |
| 18857 | How can you expect springs to force their way through these solid stone walls?" |
| 18857 | How do you know that this passage does not take us direct to the end we require? |
| 18857 | How to pass the time? |
| 18857 | How was it that I was able to look upon that vast sheet of water instead of being plunged in utter darkness? |
| 18857 | How was it to be done? |
| 18857 | How were we to prevent ourselves from slipping down the steeply inclined plane? |
| 18857 | How will you get on presently? |
| 18857 | How, should they really be in existence, would they receive us men from above? |
| 18857 | How, then, did he contrive to get at his prey? |
| 18857 | I cried, rising in astonishment,"did you say the tide, Uncle?" |
| 18857 | I cried,"we are about to launch out upon an unknown sea; and where, if I may ask, is the vessel to carry us?" |
| 18857 | I cried;"what wood is it?" |
| 18857 | I never saw it before-- are you sure it is not out of your collection?" |
| 18857 | I put it in good faith to any man of common sense-- was it possible to hear this energetic cry without a shudder? |
| 18857 | I was weeks recovering from that awful starvation adventure; and yet what was that to the hideous sufferings I now endured? |
| 18857 | If he did, did he cross it? |
| 18857 | If my uncle were to come to table after all? |
| 18857 | In the first place, how do you propose to get to Sneffels?" |
| 18857 | In what region are we wandering? |
| 18857 | Is it illusion, or is it fear? |
| 18857 | Is it in the water, or in the air? |
| 18857 | Is there any chance of our escaping from our horrible subterranean dangers? |
| 18857 | Is, then, my dream about to come true-- a dread and terrible reality? |
| 18857 | Look, yonder are whole skeletons-- and yet--""And yet, nephew?" |
| 18857 | May not this Saknussemm, nephew mine, have hidden on this bit of parchment some astounding invention? |
| 18857 | My uncle, after an instant''s examination of my countenance, said:"What is the matter, Harry?" |
| 18857 | Now, Harry, to show your English wit-- what is that figure?" |
| 18857 | Run away? |
| 18857 | Should I go upwards, or again descend? |
| 18857 | Should we ever be able to examine its distant shores? |
| 18857 | Supposing we had succeeded in reaching the southern and distant shores of this extraordinary sea, what would have become of us? |
| 18857 | Surely my brain had not been affected by my fall, and all that occurred during the last twenty- four hours was not the frenzied visions of madness? |
| 18857 | The letters were similar to those in the book, but then what did they mean? |
| 18857 | Then this boiling water, this terrible and excessive heat? |
| 18857 | To us what was that? |
| 18857 | To what unknown depths had my companions gone? |
| 18857 | Under the circumstances, what could I do but yield? |
| 18857 | Was I the victim of a madman, or was he a discoverer of rare courage and grandeur of conception? |
| 18857 | Was a vessel lying at anchor in some part of the interior of the earth? |
| 18857 | Was all I had heard really and truly possible? |
| 18857 | Was he at last about to listen to the voice of reason? |
| 18857 | Was he bent on a voyage of discovery? |
| 18857 | Was it possible my ears had not deceived me? |
| 18857 | Was it the last I should ever see of any sky? |
| 18857 | Was my uncle in his sober senses, and could the interior of the earth be reached? |
| 18857 | Was my uncle mad? |
| 18857 | Was not the journey being accomplished under the most favorable circumstances? |
| 18857 | Was not the raft progressing with the most marvelous rapidity? |
| 18857 | Was the last act of this terrible drama to take place without spectators? |
| 18857 | Was this done purposely or not? |
| 18857 | Was this wonderful combat to end in the depths of the ocean? |
| 18857 | Well, was I serious? |
| 18857 | Were any of these men of the abyss wandering about the deserted shores of this wondrous sea of the centre of the earth? |
| 18857 | Were these waters supplied with fish or not? |
| 18857 | Were they asleep or dead? |
| 18857 | Were we to be starved to death? |
| 18857 | Were we, then, going direct to the interior of the earth? |
| 18857 | What I have undertaken to do, another has done, and he having succeeded, why should I not be equally successful?" |
| 18857 | What connection could there be between ice, sir, anger, cruel, sacred wood, changing, mother, are, and sea? |
| 18857 | What could I do? |
| 18857 | What could I say? |
| 18857 | What could be more ridiculous than to have taken an island for a marine monster? |
| 18857 | What could be the cause of this-- to what atmospheric agitation could be ascribed this draught? |
| 18857 | What could this word mean, and who was speaking it? |
| 18857 | What did he mean by these awful words-- what did he mean by this terrible calm, this solemn smile? |
| 18857 | What did he mean? |
| 18857 | What do you say, nephew, according to the usual custom of travelers, to name the stream after him?" |
| 18857 | What does that indicate?" |
| 18857 | What happened after that? |
| 18857 | What is the use of wasting so much valuable time?" |
| 18857 | What monster can fill himself with such huge volumes of water, and then unceasingly spout them out in such lofty jets? |
| 18857 | What natural force could possibly have produced such abnormal and extraordinary plants? |
| 18857 | What other marvels did this great cavern contain-- what other wondrous treasures for the scientific man? |
| 18857 | What proof have we that an eruption is not shortly about to take place? |
| 18857 | What should we do in the midst of that flock of gigantic quadrupeds? |
| 18857 | What then did I see? |
| 18857 | What was the fate of my unhappy companions? |
| 18857 | What was the meaning of this extraordinary change in the temperature? |
| 18857 | What was this water, whence did it come? |
| 18857 | What was to be done? |
| 18857 | What was to be done? |
| 18857 | What would be the consequences of breaking through the crust of the earth? |
| 18857 | What would become of us?" |
| 18857 | What, then, could I do? |
| 18857 | What, then, could be the matter? |
| 18857 | What, then, is this cetaceous monster of which no Cuvier ever thought? |
| 18857 | What, then, must be the state of the less known and more distant parts of the island? |
| 18857 | Whence came this noise? |
| 18857 | Whence did it come? |
| 18857 | Where did this sea end-- to what did it lead? |
| 18857 | Where have we got to? |
| 18857 | Where is the packet which preceded us in our descent?" |
| 18857 | Where was I going? |
| 18857 | Where was I? |
| 18857 | Where was my uncle? |
| 18857 | Where were we to come out? |
| 18857 | Where would it finally take me? |
| 18857 | Whither are we going, I ask? |
| 18857 | Whither are we going? |
| 18857 | Who could enable me to find my road-- and regain my companions? |
| 18857 | Who knows but I may be on the verge of some great discovery?" |
| 18857 | Who knows?" |
| 18857 | Why had I not thought of this before? |
| 18857 | Why had he acted thus? |
| 18857 | Why is it that I can not withdraw my feet? |
| 18857 | Why should not a man as seriously convinced as my uncle, succeed, with so excellent a guide as worthy Hans, and so devoted a nephew as myself? |
| 18857 | Why should not one of the birds reconstructed by the immortal Cuvier flap his stupendous wings aloft in the dull strata of subterranean air? |
| 18857 | Why should not this state of the atmosphere, so dense and murky, once modified, again remain definitive? |
| 18857 | Why should this vast underground sea be exempt from the general law, the rule of the universe? |
| 18857 | Why was I not dead? |
| 18857 | Why, after all, should it not be so? |
| 18857 | Why, then, did I remain silent? |
| 18857 | Will you not likewise do so?" |
| 18857 | Would he come home in better humor? |
| 18857 | Would he hit upon some clue? |
| 18857 | You say that I am all right in health?" |
| 18857 | and can I not distinguish the wash of a great sea?" |
| 18857 | and echo answers, Whither? |
| 18857 | cried I, in the height of my exasperation,"we are on the way to an eruption, are we? |
| 18857 | cried my uncle,"now, unbeliever, do you begin to have faith?" |
| 18857 | cried the Professor,"you do not mean to say that all our provisions are lost?" |
| 18857 | cried the Professor;"no-- what are your reasons?" |
| 18857 | cried the cook, entering the room;"when will master have his dinner?" |
| 18857 | do I not hear the whistling of the wind? |
| 18857 | do you hear me? |
| 18857 | go out and lock us in? |
| 18857 | he cried, in a frantic tone,"are you coming up?" |
| 18857 | inquired my uncle, with a pitying smile;"is there any physical reason in opposition to it?" |
| 18857 | said my uncle testily,"what matters it? |
| 18857 | said the voice of my uncle;"are you there, my boy?" |
| 37775 | A geyser? |
| 37775 | A walrus? |
| 37775 | A whale? |
| 37775 | Ah,he said;"then you wish to modify your assertion-- you only believe what others have seen?" |
| 37775 | Am I destined to deal with these problems? |
| 37775 | Am I not speaking? 37775 Am I to infer from your remarks that, in the course of time, man will be able to economize this force, and adapt it to his wants?" |
| 37775 | Am I to leave you? |
| 37775 | And I am not to receive the remainder of your story? |
| 37775 | And I have been referred to you as a conscientious scientific teacher,I said;"why do you speak so facetiously?" |
| 37775 | And am I really to take an important part in this scheme? 37775 And heat?" |
| 37775 | And is that all that could be learned? |
| 37775 | And may I go? 37775 And so you believe only what you see?" |
| 37775 | And that my experience was illusory, the result of vertigo, or some temporary calenture of the brain? |
| 37775 | And what of gravitation? |
| 37775 | And why should n''t you? |
| 37775 | And you make this assertion, and then ask me to go no further into the subject? |
| 37775 | Are pain, pleasure, and living, imaginary creations? |
| 37775 | Are still greater wonders before us? |
| 37775 | Are we nearing humanity again? |
| 37775 | Are you not mistaken? |
| 37775 | Are you ready to challenge my statements? |
| 37775 | Are you ready to listen? |
| 37775 | Are you sure that my guide did not lead me through the space between the bubbles? |
| 37775 | Are you sure? |
| 37775 | Are you to be mine? |
| 37775 | Are you willing to relinquish your former associations, to cease to concern yourself in the affairs of men? 37775 Back, I say, back to earth, or--""Or what?" |
| 37775 | Binding me to an oath of secrecy? |
| 37775 | But I have understood that drunkenness is a vice inherent only in civilized people; are not you mistaken? |
| 37775 | But do you expect to extend your call until morning? |
| 37775 | But we approach the earth''s surface? 37775 But what are you?" |
| 37775 | But where can I find such works? 37775 But why are you here? |
| 37775 | By what authority do you make this assertion? |
| 37775 | Can any man prove either of these premises? |
| 37775 | Can not you understand that I have led you continually down a steep descent, and that for hours there has been no step upward? 37775 Can not you understand that you are not now on the surface of the earth? |
| 37775 | Can philosophers more than speculate about that which they have not experienced if they have no data from which to calculate? 37775 Can that be a surface of water?" |
| 37775 | Can this oscillation ever end? 37775 Can you not tell me, comrade, how long our journey will last? |
| 37775 | Could you then have snapped a pencil? 37775 Did I assert,"he questioned,"that your experiences were scattered over that entire period?" |
| 37775 | Did not Shakspeare write,''There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy''? |
| 37775 | Did the aborigines know how to make intoxicants, and were barbarians intemperate before contact with civilized nations? |
| 37775 | Did what? |
| 37775 | Did you ever calculate the tensile strength of the material from which you blew the bubble? |
| 37775 | Did you ever observe a bubble resting on a bubble? |
| 37775 | Did you ever place a pipe- stem in a partly filled bowl of soap water, and by blowing through it fill the bowl with bubbles? |
| 37775 | Did you ever see Greenland? |
| 37775 | Did you not question the possibility of the description I gave of my grotesque drunkards, and of the form of my subterranean guide? |
| 37775 | Disturbances of what? |
| 37775 | Disturbances of what? |
| 37775 | Do any of the subjects of our dreams or visions leave tangible evidences of their presence? |
| 37775 | Do you accept my history? |
| 37775 | Do you assert that the prism is capable of only partly analyzing the sunlight? |
| 37775 | Do you dispute the assertion seriously? |
| 37775 | Do you give up? |
| 37775 | Do you know that I perceived between you two men an unconscious display of mind- language, especially evident on your part? 37775 Do you know,"I interrupted,"that if these statements were made to men they would not be credited? |
| 37775 | Do you mean that, among men, there are a few persons possessed of powers such as you have mentioned? |
| 37775 | Do you not remember that you ceased to respire, and were not conscious of the fact? |
| 37775 | Do you not see that the stone recedes from beneath us, that we stand on the edge of a wedge overhanging bottomless space? |
| 37775 | Do you say that the atmosphere is composed of substances unknown to man? |
| 37775 | Do you take me for a fool? |
| 37775 | Dried bed? |
| 37775 | England? |
| 37775 | Exactly at the earth''s exterior surface? |
| 37775 | France? |
| 37775 | Has any man of your acquaintance seen the middle of Africa? |
| 37775 | Has liquid iron strength? |
| 37775 | Have I not demonstrated that, by properly connecting the liquids, the lighter flows into the heavier, and raises itself above the former surface? |
| 37775 | Have I won the wager? |
| 37775 | Have not I strength? |
| 37775 | Have not men demonstrated, and is it not accepted beyond the shadow of a doubt, that sound is produced by vibrations of the air? |
| 37775 | Have others overcome the instinctive terrors to which you allude? |
| 37775 | Have you not already investigated some of the statements I previously made? |
| 37775 | Have you not occasionally felt,he asked,"that in your former life your mind was a slave in an earthly prison? |
| 37775 | Have you not read history? 37775 Have you seen the stomach of any of your friends?" |
| 37775 | Heat, light, electricity? |
| 37775 | How am I to descend into that abyss? |
| 37775 | How can I believe you? |
| 37775 | How can a thin stratum of water give rise to a volcanic eruption? |
| 37775 | How can there be others here? |
| 37775 | How do you explain the fact that incidents occupying a large portion of the night, occurred in an interval which you describe as a flash? |
| 37775 | How long does it require for pure prussic acid to produce its physiological action? |
| 37775 | How long shall we continue in this carriage? |
| 37775 | How long will this continue? |
| 37775 | I beg of you, I implore of you, not to abandon me now; have you no compassion, no feeling? 37775 Iceland?" |
| 37775 | In what else than energy( sunshine) does it differ from food? |
| 37775 | In what respect? |
| 37775 | Is it as strong as before? |
| 37775 | Is it not self- evident that a fountain can not rise above its source? |
| 37775 | Is it still matter? |
| 37775 | Is it the material of the iron, or is it the energy called heat that qualifies the strength of the metal? 37775 Is manure a food?" |
| 37775 | Is not manure matter? |
| 37775 | Is not the truth, the truth? |
| 37775 | Is not this delightful? |
| 37775 | Is not this experiment a natural one? |
| 37775 | Is not this matter? |
| 37775 | Is not this salt? |
| 37775 | Is that a mortal? |
| 37775 | Is there a madman who does not imagine, as facts, what others agree upon as hallucinations peculiar to himself? 37775 Is there any argument that can be offered to controvert the assertion that man is ignorant of many natural laws?" |
| 37775 | Is there any danger to the earth itself? 37775 Is there any doubt that a force, distinct and separate from matter, influences matter and vivifies it into a living personality?" |
| 37775 | Is this another hallucination? |
| 37775 | Is water, then, the universal cause of volcanoes? |
| 37775 | Listen, does not my voice resemble that of your escaped prisoner? |
| 37775 | Listen,he said,"have you not observed that these creatures do not seek to harm you? |
| 37775 | May it not become a food again, as the part of another plant, when another season passes? |
| 37775 | Mine forever? |
| 37775 | Misery of what? |
| 37775 | Motion of what? |
| 37775 | Must I go with you into an unknown future without a farewell kiss from my little child or from my babe scarce three months old? |
| 37775 | My God,I shouted,"what have I done that you should murder me?" |
| 37775 | No,I said musingly;"she is a creature of other climes; the Scriptures tell of no such being; she is neither human nor angelic, but--""But what?" |
| 37775 | Now, do you see the reflection? |
| 37775 | Of what are they composed? |
| 37775 | Or all possible narcotics? |
| 37775 | Rapid motion produces friction, I believe? |
| 37775 | See; is not the shadow flattened, as your earth is, at the poles? |
| 37775 | Shall I proceed? |
| 37775 | Shall I proceed? |
| 37775 | Shall I teach them of what you have shown me? |
| 37775 | So you think that I am in need of out- door exercise? |
| 37775 | Suppose two such globes of energy, covered with dust, were to be telescoped or attached together, would you marvel at the fact? |
| 37775 | Tell me, then, could you not have performed this experiment in my room, or in the dark cellar of my house? |
| 37775 | Tell me, what is this barrier? |
| 37775 | Tell me,I cried in alarm,"is this to be a living tomb? |
| 37775 | Tell me,I said,"how long will those beings rest in these caverns?" |
| 37775 | That would be dangerous,I answered;"can not we descend at some point where it is not so deep?" |
| 37775 | That your heart had stopped beating, your blood no longer circulated, while you were in ignorance of the change? |
| 37775 | The back of your head? |
| 37775 | The center of the earth? |
| 37775 | The material is the same, is it not? |
| 37775 | The opposite side of the moon? |
| 37775 | The soul of man? |
| 37775 | Then I can return if I so elect? |
| 37775 | Then what have you gained by your stupid perversity? |
| 37775 | Then why should you have expected any of them to describe our surroundings? 37775 Then you do not believe that Africa has a midland, the earth a center, the moon an opposite side, man a soul, force an existence?" |
| 37775 | Then you do not believe that these conditions, countries, and animals have an existence? |
| 37775 | Then,said the old man,"how can I use words with established meanings to convey to your senses an entirely new idea? |
| 37775 | There is no wind to ruffle this aqueous surface,--why should it not be quiescent? 37775 They are certainly very simple; do you accept?" |
| 37775 | They have no eyes,I exclaimed, forgetting that I spoke to an eyeless being;"how can they see?" |
| 37775 | This I will surely do; what shall it be? |
| 37775 | To what do you allude? |
| 37775 | To what? |
| 37775 | Well, then, what is to prevent your expected guest from awaiting your return? 37775 Well,"he said, ignoring my remark;"what do you believe?" |
| 37775 | Well? |
| 37775 | Well? |
| 37775 | What can I offer as a retribution? |
| 37775 | What do you desire? |
| 37775 | What do you mean? |
| 37775 | What have I to fear? |
| 37775 | What have you done? |
| 37775 | What have you done? |
| 37775 | What if I decide to return? |
| 37775 | What is food? |
| 37775 | What is this? |
| 37775 | What of this ether? |
| 37775 | What part of the narrative do you question? |
| 37775 | What shall I call you? |
| 37775 | What strength has charcoal? |
| 37775 | What then should prevent this force from existing separate from the body if it be capable of existing in it? |
| 37775 | What will be the end? |
| 37775 | What would happen if a crevice in the bottom of the ocean should conduct the waters of the ocean into a deposit of metallic bases? |
| 37775 | When will that hour come? |
| 37775 | Where are we now? |
| 37775 | Where have you been during the wretched epochs that have passed since I last saw you? |
| 37775 | Where is the bar of iron? |
| 37775 | Who created the steam engine? 37775 Who has pronounced this sentence?" |
| 37775 | Who is more free to criticise religion than the materialistic man of science? |
| 37775 | Who places the infidel in possession of arguments to combat sacred teachings? 37775 Why are they so distorted?" |
| 37775 | Why call me aught? 37775 Why did not your boat become heated even to redness? |
| 37775 | Why did you make an appointment at all, in the face of the fact that you not only expected a visitor, but were anxious to meet him? |
| 37775 | Why did you make an appointment for ten o''clock instead of eight, if you wished to keep away from your apartments? |
| 37775 | Why do you call me Father? |
| 37775 | Why does brittle, cold zinc, when heated, become first ductile, and then, at an increased temperature, become brittle again? 37775 Why have you treated me so inhumanly? |
| 37775 | Why is it,I asked,"that parts of these creatures shrink away as some special organ increases?" |
| 37775 | Why not give it to such persons? |
| 37775 | Why not go home and receive your guest in becoming style? |
| 37775 | Why? |
| 37775 | Why? |
| 37775 | Why? |
| 37775 | Will you inform me concerning the nature of the obstacle I have to overcome, that you indicate by your vague references? |
| 37775 | Will you tell me how the vibration of any of these bodies impresses the seat of hearing? |
| 37775 | With great rapidity? |
| 37775 | Would not your material body have been intact? |
| 37775 | Would you have me view the soul of man as I would a material being? |
| 37775 | Would you murder me? 37775 Would you surely know him if you met him?" |
| 37775 | Yes,I replied;"but tell me further, now that you have excited my interest, have I seen and learned all that man can discover in this direction?" |
| 37775 | Yes; but can you conceive of any method by which such voluntary motion can now be acquired? |
| 37775 | You do not mean an exact globe? |
| 37775 | You have not explained the phenomenon; how does that tympanic membrane communicate with the brain? |
| 37775 | You have used the term sunshine freely; tell me what is sunshine? 37775 You must admit, however, that it is necessary?" |
| 37775 | You speak in enigmas; what is this Sphere of Rest? 37775 You trifle with me; I weigh over one hundred and fifty pounds; how have I lost weight? |
| 37775 | Your stomach? |
| 37775 | ''What is it that animates this frame? |
| 37775 | A sudden impulse seized me, and I said:"May I ask one question?" |
| 37775 | After a pause my pilot asked me abruptly:"What do you most desire?" |
| 37775 | After a time the old man removed the candle from my hand, and said:"Do you accept the fact? |
| 37775 | Aluminum is a light metal, gold a heavy one; what reason can you offer to explain the facts other than the inadequate term density? |
| 37775 | Am I not a freeman of America?" |
| 37775 | And may not their efforts at communication fail because of our ignorance of a language they can read? |
| 37775 | And why do you doubt?" |
| 37775 | And yet--""And yet what?" |
| 37775 | Are not such lakes saline, even though the source of supply is comparatively fresh? |
| 37775 | Are we to remain suspended here forever, and if not, by what method can we hope to extricate ourselves from this state of perfect quiescence?" |
| 37775 | Are you ready?" |
| 37775 | Are you sure that your conceptions of these results are justified by normal perception? |
| 37775 | Are you willing to go on this journey of exploration? |
| 37775 | Art thou, Gravitation, a voice? |
| 37775 | Assuming that you know him, may I ask how long it is since you have seen him?'' |
| 37775 | Attempt to originate an idea, and see if you can escape your word- master?" |
| 37775 | Before we proceed further, however, can you think of any point on which you need enlightenment? |
| 37775 | Believe ye that I conceal the art out of envy? |
| 37775 | Besides, did I not several times in the past bring experimental proof to dispel your incredulity? |
| 37775 | Besides, why should not science be judged by the rule she applies to others?" |
| 37775 | But was it a ghost? |
| 37775 | But what need of many words? |
| 37775 | CHAPTER L. MY WEIGHT ANNIHILATED.--"TELL ME,"I CRIED IN ALARM,"IS THIS TO BE A LIVING TOMB?" |
| 37775 | Can any man outline the bridge that connects the intellect with nerve or brain, mind, or with any form of matter? |
| 37775 | Copper produces green or blue salts; nickel produces green salts; have you ever been told why they observe these rules? |
| 37775 | Could I not, by some method, convince my friends of my identity? |
| 37775 | Could any man from the data of my past experiences have predicted such a scene? |
| 37775 | Could it be possible that I was really so changed? |
| 37775 | Could not my self- existence be blotted out in like manner? |
| 37775 | Could you even have blown the down from a thistle bloom?" |
| 37775 | Could you have broken a reed? |
| 37775 | Did I assert that he had never lived among mortals of upper earth? |
| 37775 | Did I fancy, or was it real? |
| 37775 | Did I not tell you that after the fact had been made plain it was easy to see how Columbus stood the egg on its end? |
| 37775 | Did I say that he was always a cavern being? |
| 37775 | Did you ever stop to think that the mind can not now bring to the senses the configuration, or nature, of the substance in which mind exists? |
| 37775 | Did you not obligate yourself before man, and on your sacred honor promise to preserve our secrets?" |
| 37775 | Did you not voluntarily ask admission into our ancient brotherhood, and in good faith were you not initiated into our sacred mysteries? |
| 37775 | Did your''philosophy''never lead you to think of this?" |
| 37775 | Do you accept that material bliss is impossible, and that while humanity is working towards the undiscovered land, man is not, can not be satisfied?" |
| 37775 | Do you conceive my meaning?" |
| 37775 | Do you consent?" |
| 37775 | Do you know, Mr. Cicero, that this statement is not sound? |
| 37775 | Do you mean to assert that I can not think without using words?" |
| 37775 | Do you not hear them? |
| 37775 | Do you see what you think you see? |
| 37775 | Each volume adds to the oppression, each old tome casts the influence of its spirit over the beholder, for have not these old books spirits? |
| 37775 | HEARING WITHOUT EARS.--"WHAT WILL BE THE END?" |
| 37775 | Had I not alternately begged for and then cursed each gift of God? |
| 37775 | Had I not prayed for heat, cold, light, and darkness, and anathematized each? |
| 37775 | Had I not previously, in the most solemn manner, before these words had been imparted to my keeping, sworn to keep them inviolate and secret? |
| 37775 | Had not my peculiar habits of isolation, irregular and intense study, erratic living, all conspired to unseat reason? |
| 37775 | Had the old book some mesmeric power? |
| 37775 | Have I been set apart to explore a section of the unknown for a bit of hidden knowledge, and to return again?" |
| 37775 | Have I demonstrated the truth of the assertion?" |
| 37775 | Have I not been courteous?" |
| 37775 | Have I not heard your voice, and that, too, since you asserted that we had left the atmosphere?" |
| 37775 | Have I not suffered enough from your persecutions to make me reject that word as applied to yourselves? |
| 37775 | Have chemists explained why one object is transparent, and another of equal weight and solidity is opaque? |
| 37775 | Have chemists told you why the prism disarranges or distorts sunlight to produce the abnormal hues that men assume compose elementary rays of light? |
| 37775 | Have men any data on hand to show exactly how matter is distributed below the limited zone that is accessible to their investigations?" |
| 37775 | Have not all of them spoken kindly, have any offered violence?" |
| 37775 | Have we not been permitted to do his bidding well?" |
| 37775 | Have you forgotten that your motion is continuously accelerated, and that without perceptible exertion you move rapidly? |
| 37775 | Have you learned that facts are fallacies, and physical existence a delusion? |
| 37775 | Have you never heard of what men call artesian wells?" |
| 37775 | Have you never thought of the connected tribulations that the wear and tear of respiration alone inflict upon the human family? |
| 37775 | Have you never, especially in your dreams, experienced a sensation of mental confinement?" |
| 37775 | Have you not betrayed your trust, and merited a severe judgment? |
| 37775 | Have you not shuddered at the crimes recorded in the name of the religions of man?" |
| 37775 | Have you not taken from me all that men love or cherish, and undone every tie of kith or kin? |
| 37775 | He explained:"Did you not sometime back experience that your own voice was thrown from your body?" |
| 37775 | He lowered the weapon, and calmly asked:"Suppose that I had crushed your skull-- where then would be your vaunted strength?" |
| 37775 | Hearing Without Ears--"What Will Be the End?" |
| 37775 | How can men so circumscribed construct a new idea or teach a new science?" |
| 37775 | How could I, unaided, recross that glassy lake, and pass through the grotesque forests of fungi and the labyrinth of crystal grottoes of the salt bed? |
| 37775 | How does the maple- tree secrete a sweet, wholesome sap, and deadly nightshade, growing in the same soil and living on the same elements, a poison? |
| 37775 | How does the tree- frog change its color? |
| 37775 | How else could the will of men and animals impart voluntary motion to earthy bodies? |
| 37775 | How often are we courageous in daylight and timid by night? |
| 37775 | How often does one sit in wintry evening musings, and trace in the glowing embers the features of an absent friend? |
| 37775 | I cried aloud in amazement:"Am I sane, is this a dream?" |
| 37775 | I stretched out my hand, I leaned over almost into the other vehicle, and earnestly said:"Do you not know me? |
| 37775 | If not all true, where did fact end and fancy begin? |
| 37775 | If the man on the seat was a prisoner, why was he so reticent? |
| 37775 | If these remarkable episodes were true, could there be such a thing as fiction? |
| 37775 | If you should try to impress on mankind the facts that you have learned in this journey, what would be the result?" |
| 37775 | In reply to this my mental ejaculation, my guide said:"Can not you perceive that the darkness is becoming less intense?" |
| 37775 | In this case I unwittingly said:"Why do you say that our language will not permit of clearer conceptions than you give?" |
| 37775 | Indeed, could it have been a part of time if it were instantaneous?" |
| 37775 | Is it not rational to suppose it possible for this sequence to be reversed? |
| 37775 | Is it not true that in the direction in which you question my power, some men by cultivation often become expert beyond their fellows? |
| 37775 | Is it true that by mental cultivation a new sense can be evolved whereby darkness may become as light?" |
| 37775 | Is not man capable of following where animals lead? |
| 37775 | Is not man unfortunate in having to risk so much on so frail an organ? |
| 37775 | Is not that your predicament?" |
| 37775 | Is not the day of the allegorical"white elixir"nearly at hand? |
| 37775 | Is other argument necessary? |
| 37775 | Look at the mud with which I am covered, and consider the return trip which yet lies before me, and which must prove even more exhausting?" |
| 37775 | Lost in contemplation, I unconsciously asked the mental question:"Where are the shadows?" |
| 37775 | Many of these specimens are probably thousands of years old, and are still growing; why should they ever die? |
| 37775 | May it not be riven into fragments from such a convulsion?" |
| 37775 | May not the greatest scientist be the most apt skeptic?" |
| 37775 | May you not be in an exalted state of mind that hinders clear perception, and compels you to imagine and accept as fact that which does not exist? |
| 37775 | Mercury at ordinary temperature is a liquid; can your scientist tell why it is not a solid? |
| 37775 | Name the student in science who has reached this depth in earth, or has seen a man to tell him of these facts?" |
| 37775 | Need it have been a part of either second, or of time at all? |
| 37775 | Now that you have warned me of my doom, do you imagine that anything, even sudden death, can swerve me from my journey? |
| 37775 | Now what resemblance is there between the vagaries of a hysterical, weak- minded woman, and my case?" |
| 37775 | On and over the trackless waste of glass- like water we sped, until the dead silence became painfully oppressive, and I asked:"Whither are we bound?" |
| 37775 | One child has black hair, another brown, a third red; why? |
| 37775 | One species of turtle has a soft shell, another a hard shell; has your authority in natural history told you why this is so? |
| 37775 | Or, what assurance have you that he will not encounter you in the street, under circumstances that will provoke or, at the least, embarrass you?" |
| 37775 | Oscillating Through Space-- The Earth Shell Above Us, 333 L. My Weight Annihilated--"Tell me,"I cried in alarm,"is this a Living Tomb?" |
| 37775 | Regarding me attentively, he said:"What is it that impels a mortal towards this fruit?" |
| 37775 | Search your physiology for the answer and see if your learned authority can tell you why the life- current makes these distinctions? |
| 37775 | Shall the subtle ears of future scientists catch yet lighter echoes? |
| 37775 | Should I permit the slender youth to carry me away as a prisoner? |
| 37775 | Should productions of surface earth have a monopoly of nature''s methods, all the flavors, all the perfumes? |
| 37775 | Silver is sonorous, lead is not; why these intrinsic differences? |
| 37775 | Some nerve excitants known to you act slowly, others quickly; why not others still instantaneously? |
| 37775 | Such an answer evades the issue; why do they so readily exert this action? |
| 37775 | Suppose that a vicious life were ended, could it escape the inevitable critical point? |
| 37775 | Surely the pressure of a gas in confinement is the same in all directions, is it not?" |
| 37775 | That earth- bound science is science only with surface- earth men? |
| 37775 | That it is a contradiction in itself, for if a man is alone he is alone, and that settles it?" |
| 37775 | That it is unworthy the position you occupy in history as a thinker and philosopher? |
| 37775 | The guide seized me by the hand,"Hold, hold,"he cried;"where would you go, fickle mortal?" |
| 37775 | The past to me is a painful, melancholy recollection; the future is--"I shuddered, for who could foretell my future? |
| 37775 | Then he added:"Have you accepted that whatever seems to be is not, and that that which seems not to be, is? |
| 37775 | Then he added:"Is there any other subject you wish to argue?" |
| 37775 | Then he continued, seemingly not having noticed my personal allusion:"Have you ever seen your heart?" |
| 37775 | Then, in a smooth, captivating, entrancing manner, he continued:"Can you not see that food is not matter? |
| 37775 | There is no other object to push against,--but why do you continue to hold me so tightly?" |
| 37775 | Think you that earth substance really presents an obstacle to the passage of the sun''s energy? |
| 37775 | Try, if you believe I am mistaken, try to think of any subject outside of words?" |
| 37775 | U. L."But what has this phenomenon to do with the volcano?" |
| 37775 | U. L."Have you investigated all possible anæsthetics?" |
| 37775 | Under stress of his strong alchemic convictions, Thomas Dalton placed his head on the block by order of the virtuous(?) |
| 37775 | Was there a necessity for this journey, these mysterious movements, this physical exertion? |
| 37775 | What can be the cause of this phenomenon? |
| 37775 | What could explain the paradox? |
| 37775 | What evidence can any man produce to prove that his idea of life is not a madman''s dream?" |
| 37775 | What had I to do with seven, or seven with me? |
| 37775 | What is it that enables the nerve in the nose to perform its discriminative function? |
| 37775 | What is present in a grain of diamond that is not present in a grain of charcoal?" |
| 37775 | What is the nature of this mysterious halo that surrounds us?" |
| 37775 | What is your business?" |
| 37775 | What lies inside to give it life?'' |
| 37775 | What might it be?" |
| 37775 | What think you, I repeat, becomes of the torrent of light and heat and other forces that radiate from the sun, the flood that strikes the earth? |
| 37775 | What was I to do with seven? |
| 37775 | What will be the result of this eventful journey?" |
| 37775 | What would be the end of this marvelous journey? |
| 37775 | What, think you, becomes of the flood of light energy that unceasingly flows from the sun? |
| 37775 | What, to the mother, can replace the babe that has been lost?" |
| 37775 | When shall we reach our destination?" |
| 37775 | Where is it?" |
| 37775 | Who creates improved artillery, and explosives? |
| 37775 | Who evolves improved machinery? |
| 37775 | Who is he? |
| 37775 | Who would not feel elated at the prospect of an exploration, such as I foresaw might be pursued in my immediate future? |
| 37775 | Why am I forbidden? |
| 37775 | Why and how has this been accomplished? |
| 37775 | Why are the salts of aluminum astringent, the salts of magnesium cathartic, and the salts of arsenicum deadly poison? |
| 37775 | Why did he not answer my questions? |
| 37775 | Why did not some kind angel withhold my hand from the rash and wicked deed? |
| 37775 | Why do the cells of the liver secrete bile, and those of the mouth saliva? |
| 37775 | Why does any cell secrete anything? |
| 37775 | Why does the dog lap and the calf drink? |
| 37775 | Why does the nerve in the tongue respond to a sensation, and produce on the mind the sense of taste? |
| 37775 | Why does the newly- born babe cry for food before its intellect has a chance for worldly education? |
| 37775 | Why does the robin hop, and the snipe walk? |
| 37775 | Why does the vapor of sulphuric ether inflame, while the vapor of chloroform is not combustible, under ordinary conditions? |
| 37775 | Why is common salt white and charcoal black? |
| 37775 | Why should this part of the earth prove an exception to the general rule? |
| 37775 | Why will some substances absorb moisture from the air, and liquefy, while others become as dry as dust under like conditions? |
| 37775 | Will you never learn that the philosophy of your former life is not philosophy here? |
| 37775 | Would he speak again? |
| 37775 | Would not dissolution, so far as the separation of matter and spirit is concerned at its critical point be instantaneous?" |
| 37775 | Would not that life in its previous journey create its own sad eternity? |
| 37775 | Would you have me believe that such a being has an existence outside an abnormal thought- creation?" |
| 37775 | You are thankful that it was all an illusion as you deem it now; what would you think had only the heavenly part been spread before you?" |
| 37775 | You believe only what_ you_ can do?" |
| 37775 | You could not make them believe that hundreds of miles beneath, both their vessel and its crew had been reproduced in fac simile, could you?" |
| 37775 | You discredit Marco Polo? |
| 37775 | am I free now?" |
| 37775 | and are you brave enough to meet the trials you have invited?" |
| 37775 | and had I not deliberately broken that sacred vow, and scattered the hoarded sentences broadcast? |
| 37775 | and is not the same amount of the same material present in each, a grain of diamond and a grain of charcoal? |
| 37775 | go forth in my freedom? |
| 37775 | how did he enter without my notice, and why? |
| 37775 | no strength?" |
| 37775 | what is he? |
| 37775 | what is his business? |
| 37775 | why did my evil genius prompt me to write it? |
| 37775 | would it not be best to thrust him aside, if necessary, crush him to the earth? |
| 3748 | A human skull? |
| 3748 | A torrent? |
| 3748 | Ali, you think so, do you, Axel, my boy? 3748 Am I to believe that?" |
| 3748 | And all my limbs unbroken? |
| 3748 | And does the compass still show south- east? |
| 3748 | And his supper? |
| 3748 | And how, lower down still? |
| 3748 | And in the meantime,said my uncle rather spitefully,"strangers--""Well, what would you have? |
| 3748 | And is he going to take you with him? |
| 3748 | And my head? |
| 3748 | And the other? |
| 3748 | And the stream? |
| 3748 | And these twelve at a cost of 85 leagues diagonally? |
| 3748 | And whales are lashing the roof of our prison with their tails? |
| 3748 | And what is the title of this marvellous work? |
| 3748 | And who was that man? |
| 3748 | And why not? 3748 Are we being taken up in an eruption? |
| 3748 | Are we rising into a fiery furnace? |
| 3748 | Are we to go? |
| 3748 | Are you afraid of being put into a state of fusion? |
| 3748 | Are you convinced? |
| 3748 | Are you ready? |
| 3748 | Are you sure of that? |
| 3748 | Are you surprised at this want of springs? |
| 3748 | Because this crater is evidently filled with lava and burning rocks, and therefore--"But suppose it is an extinct volcano? |
| 3748 | Before all things,my uncle resumed,"I enjoin you to preserve the most inviolable secrecy: you understand? |
| 3748 | Besides,I said to myself,"where''s the risk? |
| 3748 | But are you not subject to considerable delays? |
| 3748 | But do n''t you conclude--? |
| 3748 | But how are we to get down below this liquid surface? |
| 3748 | But how was it with Saknussemm? |
| 3748 | But is it Jan Mayen? |
| 3748 | But silence, do you hear me? 3748 But surely, then, like other fossil wood, it must be as hard as stone, and can not float?" |
| 3748 | But that column of water? |
| 3748 | But the compass? |
| 3748 | But the water-- the rising water? |
| 3748 | But to what family does it belong? |
| 3748 | But what does the thermometer say? |
| 3748 | But what language is it? |
| 3748 | But what shall we do now? |
| 3748 | But where are we, uncle? 3748 But where is the compass? |
| 3748 | But wo n''t this density augment? |
| 3748 | But,I said,"is there not reason to fear that this ever- increasing pressure will become at last very painful to bear?" |
| 3748 | But,said I,"the clothes, and that mass of ladders and ropes, what is to become of them?" |
| 3748 | Can it be? |
| 3748 | Can the influence of the sun and moon be felt down here? |
| 3748 | Certainly,replied my uncle;"but I am rather late; or have not others been here before me?" |
| 3748 | Certainly; who would hesitate to acquire such renown? 3748 Come,"said he,"had you this weapon with you?" |
| 3748 | Courage? |
| 3748 | Determine on what? |
| 3748 | Did it not belong to some pre- adamite warrior? |
| 3748 | Did you ever spend a quieter night in our little house at Königsberg? 3748 Do you feel ill?" |
| 3748 | Do you really think there are many people bold enough? |
| 3748 | Do you think so? |
| 3748 | Do you think so? |
| 3748 | Do you think so? |
| 3748 | Do you think,said he,"an earthquake is coming?" |
| 3748 | Do you yet doubt? |
| 3748 | Down into the cellar? |
| 3748 | Eat, did you say? |
| 3748 | Extinct? |
| 3748 | Finally, what do you mean to do? |
| 3748 | Greenland? |
| 3748 | Has it lied? |
| 3748 | Has the eruption stopped? |
| 3748 | Have we lost our provisions? |
| 3748 | Have we struck land? |
| 3748 | Have we taken alive an inhabitant of the seas of primitive ages? |
| 3748 | Have you some private document in your possession? |
| 3748 | How about returning? |
| 3748 | How do you do, Hans? 3748 How long do you suppose this sea to be?" |
| 3748 | How long will the passage take? |
| 3748 | How so? |
| 3748 | How so? |
| 3748 | Hvar? |
| 3748 | I am aware of that; but, tell me, will not air at last acquire the density of water? |
| 3748 | Impatient, then? |
| 3748 | Impossible? |
| 3748 | In twenty days? |
| 3748 | Indeed;I cried, keeping up wonderfully,"of course it is a German translation?" |
| 3748 | Is he mad? |
| 3748 | Is it Iceland? |
| 3748 | Is it another sea beast? |
| 3748 | Is it extinct? |
| 3748 | Is it really? 3748 Is master mad?" |
| 3748 | Is n''t it a beauty? 3748 Is that all?" |
| 3748 | Is that possible? |
| 3748 | Is that quite true? |
| 3748 | Is the child dumb? |
| 3748 | Is the eruption checked? |
| 3748 | Is the ocean spread above our heads? |
| 3748 | Is the wind favourable? |
| 3748 | Is there no way farther? |
| 3748 | It is a conservatory, Axel; but is it not also a menagerie? |
| 3748 | Monsieur Fridrikssen, I wished to know if amongst your ancient books you possessed any of the works of Arne Saknussemm? |
| 3748 | Must I go up or down? |
| 3748 | My boy, where are you? |
| 3748 | No doubt,I ventured to reply,"but what interest would he have in thus hiding so marvellous a discovery?" |
| 3748 | No human creature? |
| 3748 | Nor courage either? |
| 3748 | Now for your reason? |
| 3748 | Now let us try Italian,said my uncle; and he said:"_ Dove noi siamo?_""Yes, where are we?" |
| 3748 | Now let us try Italian,said my uncle; and he said:"_ Dove noi siamo?_""Yes, where are we?" |
| 3748 | Now,said he,"will you be kind enough to tell me what books you hoped to find in our library and I may perhaps enable you to consult them?" |
| 3748 | Of an earthquake? 3748 Oh, if that is all, you are quite right; but after all, when we have gone down, we shall have to get up again, I suppose?" |
| 3748 | One of the glories of Icelandic literature and science? |
| 3748 | Open air? |
| 3748 | Ready? |
| 3748 | Returning? 3748 Reversed?" |
| 3748 | Runic? |
| 3748 | Set sail, shall we? 3748 Sixteen leagues?" |
| 3748 | So much as that? |
| 3748 | So then, Axel,replied the Professor ironically,"you have found no courage or energy in these few drops of water?" |
| 3748 | So, Axel, it is the heat that troubles you? |
| 3748 | That Snæfell? |
| 3748 | That will be curious, uncle; but are your observations sufficiently accurate to enable you to do this correctly? |
| 3748 | The matter? 3748 The theories say that, do they?" |
| 3748 | Then I must be mad; for do n''t I see the light of day, and do n''t I hear the wind blowing, and the sea breaking on the shore? |
| 3748 | Then do n''t you despair? |
| 3748 | Then must we resign ourselves to destruction? |
| 3748 | Then why has the master come home so soon? |
| 3748 | Then, as to provisions, have we enough to last? |
| 3748 | Therefore we are under mid- Atlantic? |
| 3748 | To be sure,said I;"and why should not these waters yield to us fishes of unknown species?" |
| 3748 | To our journey''s end? |
| 3748 | Uncle, is it true that we are to go? |
| 3748 | Uncle, what wood is this? |
| 3748 | Very good,said I;"but what of Sneffels?" |
| 3748 | We may; but how about our guide? |
| 3748 | Well, Axel, what do you say to it? |
| 3748 | Well, Axel? |
| 3748 | Well, I do n''t doubt,I said, not to vex him;"but, I ask, what need is there to hurry?" |
| 3748 | Well, in the first place, I wish to ask what are this Jokul, this Sneffels, and this Scartaris, names which I have never heard before? |
| 3748 | Well, my boy,he cried,"have you slept well?" |
| 3748 | Well, now,he repeated,"wo n''t you tell me how you have slept?" |
| 3748 | Well, now; do n''t you see it yet? 3748 Well, uncle, when this bit of meat has been devoured what shall we have left?" |
| 3748 | Well, what is your conclusion? |
| 3748 | Well,he cried,"where are his works?" |
| 3748 | Well,he replied,"how does that make against my doctrine?" |
| 3748 | Well,replied my uncle,"is there any scientific reason against it?" |
| 3748 | Well,said I,"do you think we have any chance of being saved?" |
| 3748 | Well; and how about his dinner? |
| 3748 | Well? |
| 3748 | Well? |
| 3748 | Well? |
| 3748 | Well? |
| 3748 | Well? |
| 3748 | Well? |
| 3748 | What are you in a fright about now? |
| 3748 | What can you mean? 3748 What danger?" |
| 3748 | What depth have we now reached? |
| 3748 | What do you mean? |
| 3748 | What do you mean? |
| 3748 | What does it all mean? |
| 3748 | What does that signify, uncle? 3748 What does that signify? |
| 3748 | What does that word mean? |
| 3748 | What does the thermometer say? |
| 3748 | What is he saying? |
| 3748 | What is it all about? |
| 3748 | What is that reason? |
| 3748 | What is the basis of them all? 3748 What is the matter with you?" |
| 3748 | What is the matter, Gräuben? |
| 3748 | What is the matter? |
| 3748 | What is the matter? |
| 3748 | What is the matter? |
| 3748 | What is the matter? |
| 3748 | What is the matter? |
| 3748 | What is the matter? |
| 3748 | What is the matter? |
| 3748 | What is the meaning of this word Scartaris, and what have the kalends of July to do with it? |
| 3748 | What is the use of troubling ourselves? |
| 3748 | What is this? |
| 3748 | What key? 3748 What matters,"replied the philosopher,"whether this or another serves to guide us?" |
| 3748 | What o''clock is it? |
| 3748 | What other men can be thirty leagues under ground? |
| 3748 | What two? 3748 What''s that you are saying?" |
| 3748 | What''s this? |
| 3748 | What, Gräuben, wo n''t you dissuade me from such an undertaking? |
| 3748 | What, has he already felled the trees? |
| 3748 | What, then? |
| 3748 | What-- not in Iceland? |
| 3748 | What? |
| 3748 | What? |
| 3748 | When can I see him? |
| 3748 | When our flasks are empty, where shall we fill them again? 3748 When?" |
| 3748 | Where are we? 3748 Where are we?" |
| 3748 | Where do you keep your eight thousand volumes? 3748 Where is your lamp?" |
| 3748 | Where to? |
| 3748 | Where to? |
| 3748 | Where''s your box? |
| 3748 | Where? 3748 Where?" |
| 3748 | Who could have believed it? |
| 3748 | Who knows? |
| 3748 | Why did not you say so then? 3748 Why do you doubt?" |
| 3748 | Why do you suppose that? |
| 3748 | Why is that? |
| 3748 | Why not to- day? |
| 3748 | Why not? 3748 Why not?" |
| 3748 | Why should we trouble ourselves to stop the stream from coming out at all? |
| 3748 | Why? 3748 Why?" |
| 3748 | Why? |
| 3748 | Will you speak when you are told? |
| 3748 | Would you then conclude,I said,"that the magnetic pole is somewhere between the surface of the globe and the point where we are?" |
| 3748 | Yes, but how about the instruments? |
| 3748 | Yes, that key, chance--"What is that you are saying? |
| 3748 | Yes,said my uncle,"was he stopped by this stone barrier?" |
| 3748 | You do n''t doubt my word? |
| 3748 | You do n''t mean to say so? |
| 3748 | You feel strong enough to walk a little way now? |
| 3748 | You have your chronometer? |
| 3748 | You mean that learned sixteenth century savant, a naturalist, a chemist, and a traveller? |
| 3748 | You think so, Axel? |
| 3748 | Your boxes are not packed, and my papers are not arranged; where''s the key of my carpet bag? 3748 ?, a hole, and?? 3748 ?, a hole, and?? 3748 ?, a hole, and?? 3748 ?, to creep into. 3748 ????? 3748 ????? 3748 ????? 3748 ????? 3748 ????? 3748 Am I quite mistaken, or have we returned to the surface of the earth? 3748 Am I then fated-- I, a denizen of earth-- to be placed face to face with these representatives of long extinct families? 3748 And if I did not obey his call, who could answer for what might happen? 3748 And if he wakes up presently, where shall we be? 3748 And may it not be that this old parchment is intended to mislead? |
| 3748 | And now, uncle, tell me where we are at the present moment?" |
| 3748 | And suppose he called me? |
| 3748 | And yet, what cause was there for anger? |
| 3748 | Are not all bodies subject throughout their mass to the power of universal attraction? |
| 3748 | Are these waters, then, bare of inhabitants? |
| 3748 | Are we again on the surface of the globe?" |
| 3748 | Are we still under the sea? |
| 3748 | Are we, then, speeding forward to some cataract which will cast us down an abyss? |
| 3748 | Are you blind to the dense vapours and steam growing thicker and denser every minute? |
| 3748 | Are you not thinking of returning to the surface now?" |
| 3748 | As for the ichthyosaurus-- has he returned to his submarine cavern? |
| 3748 | At Newcastle are there not coal mines extending far under the sea?" |
| 3748 | Axel, have you got it?" |
| 3748 | BUT WHAT NEXT? |
| 3748 | Besides, I thought, have not I a guarantee that I shall not lose my way, a clue in the labyrinth, that can not be broken, my faithful stream? |
| 3748 | But does it follow that he has really accomplished such a journey? |
| 3748 | But does it shut equally well? |
| 3748 | But how had I left the course of the stream? |
| 3748 | But how should I be able to escape from the house? |
| 3748 | But how was I to resist the sweet voice which was always music to my ears, saying,"My dear Axel?" |
| 3748 | But how was it possible for a man of my undecided turn of mind to argue successfully with so irascible a person as the Professor? |
| 3748 | But how were we to unfasten it, when arrived at the other end? |
| 3748 | But if we have now ceased to advance why do we yet leave that sail loose, which at the first shock of the tempest may capsize us in a moment? |
| 3748 | But is it not a dream? |
| 3748 | But now what are your plans? |
| 3748 | But what could I do? |
| 3748 | But what could a ball do against the scaly armour with which these enormous beasts were clad? |
| 3748 | But what did we want arms for? |
| 3748 | But what phenomenon could have caused this reversal of the poles?" |
| 3748 | But where are we going to? |
| 3748 | But where was this water from? |
| 3748 | But who could have foretold the result? |
| 3748 | But who was that possessor? |
| 3748 | But will it do you any more good to devour it with your eyes than with your teeth? |
| 3748 | But would this state of things last in the strange place we had come to? |
| 3748 | But, Axel, are you not mistaken?" |
| 3748 | But, tell me, how do you expect to get to the peninsula of Snæfell?" |
| 3748 | But, what on earth is their meaning?" |
| 3748 | CANST THOU WORK I''THE GROUND SO FAST? |
| 3748 | CANST THOU WORK IN THE GROUND SO FAST? |
| 3748 | Can we tell that?" |
| 3748 | Could I have dreamed that you would have gone out for a walk instead of hurrying your preparations forward?" |
| 3748 | Could I stand against the two? |
| 3748 | Could he be trying to measure the thickness of the crust of the earth that lay between us and the world above? |
| 3748 | Could it lie?" |
| 3748 | Could there possibly have been a more exact guide? |
| 3748 | Did Saknussemm meet this sheet of water? |
| 3748 | Did he cross it? |
| 3748 | Did he refuse to admit, out of self- love as an uncle and a philosopher, that he had mistaken his way when he chose the eastern tunnel? |
| 3748 | Did he want to reduce us by famine? |
| 3748 | Did her heart palpitate as mine did? |
| 3748 | Did not Galileo do the same by Saturn? |
| 3748 | Did you ever see such a binding? |
| 3748 | Do n''t you admire those blending hues of lava, passing from reddish brown to bright yellow by imperceptible shades? |
| 3748 | Do n''t you feel the burning heat? |
| 3748 | Do n''t you hear the hammer at work? |
| 3748 | Do n''t you see how the water boils and bubbles? |
| 3748 | Do they proceed from the sky or the ocean? |
| 3748 | Do you hear me? |
| 3748 | Do you know that it is now only 1,500 leagues to the centre of the globe?" |
| 3748 | Do you mean to affirm that we are running up the shaft of a volcano?" |
| 3748 | Do you remember a visit paid to me by the celebrated chemist, Humphry Davy, in 1825?" |
| 3748 | Do you see Rejkiavik, the capital? |
| 3748 | Do you take it for a printed book, you ignorant fool? |
| 3748 | Do you understand?" |
| 3748 | Do you want me to explain what that is?" |
| 3748 | Does he mean that there are only two animals?" |
| 3748 | Does it follow that because the monster has slept since 1229 he must therefore never awake again? |
| 3748 | Does n''t the book open easily? |
| 3748 | Explain?" |
| 3748 | Had I been listening to the mad speculations of a lunatic, or to the scientific conclusions of a lofty genius? |
| 3748 | Had I heard him? |
| 3748 | Had I not bent under the iron rule of the Professor Liedenbrock? |
| 3748 | Had he any means of making this calculation? |
| 3748 | Had he during the silence of the night caught a sound, a murmuring of something in the distance, which had failed to affect my hearing? |
| 3748 | Had he understood me or not? |
| 3748 | Had some particular soil, like that of the cemetery St. Michel, at Bordeaux, preserved it thus for so many ages? |
| 3748 | Had the cooling of the globe produced it? |
| 3748 | Had we a river, a lake, a sea to depend upon? |
| 3748 | Hans comes down, then stretches his arm to the south, saying:"_ Dere nere!_""Down there?" |
| 3748 | Has my uncle given up the expedition, or is it happily terminated? |
| 3748 | Has not the stream that we followed led us altogether astray?" |
| 3748 | Has not this Saknussemm concealed under his cryptogram some surprising invention? |
| 3748 | Have we followed that road? |
| 3748 | Have you observed how intense sound is down here?" |
| 3748 | How are we to explain that fact?" |
| 3748 | How are you? |
| 3748 | How can I describe the extraordinary sensation produced by the return of Professor Liedenbrock? |
| 3748 | How can I tell? |
| 3748 | How could springs break through such walls as these?" |
| 3748 | How do you know that this passage does not run straight to our destination? |
| 3748 | How the theories will hinder us, wo n''t they?" |
| 3748 | How was I to return? |
| 3748 | I asked, was he not touched in the brain? |
| 3748 | I cried,"to some living man, contemporary with the huge cattle- driver? |
| 3748 | I opened a pair of astonished eyes, which immediately called for the question:"What is the matter, Axel?" |
| 3748 | I said:"Uncle, do you know it seems to me that circumstances have wonderfully befriended us hitherto?" |
| 3748 | If we had had provisions enough for months, how could we get out of the abyss into which we were being hurled by an irresistible torrent? |
| 3748 | Is all going on right?" |
| 3748 | Is his name nowhere to be found in the manuscript?" |
| 3748 | Is it illusion or fear? |
| 3748 | Is it not evident that this gallery was once the way open to the course of the lava, and that at that time there must have been a free passage? |
| 3748 | Is it not known that the number of volcanoes has diminished since the first days of creation? |
| 3748 | Is it riveted to the planks? |
| 3748 | Is not the raft spinning along with marvellous speed? |
| 3748 | Is not the voyage prospering as favourably as possible under the circumstances? |
| 3748 | Is the atmospheric condition, having once reached this density, to become final? |
| 3748 | Is the journey not over, then?" |
| 3748 | Is there some monster beneath us belonging to the extinct races, more voracious than the shark, more fearful in vastness than the whale? |
| 3748 | Is this why you are here, sir?" |
| 3748 | It must be as wide as the Mediterranean or the Atlantic-- and why not? |
| 3748 | It was impossible? |
| 3748 | May we not depend upon electric phenomena to give us light? |
| 3748 | May we not even expect light from the atmosphere, the pressure of which may render it luminous as we approach the centre?" |
| 3748 | Might I not myself be mistaken? |
| 3748 | Might not some living man, some native of the abyss, be yet a wanderer below on this desert strand? |
| 3748 | Might not some unhoped- for result come of it? |
| 3748 | My uncle began to encourage him as well as he could, and said to him in good German:"_ Was heiszt diesen Berg, mein Knablein? |
| 3748 | Not Iceland?" |
| 3748 | Now do you see anything upon that knee bone?" |
| 3748 | Or was it a mistake? |
| 3748 | Sage mir geschwind!_"("What is this mountain called, my little friend?") |
| 3748 | Scarcely could my lips utter the words:"Are we really going?" |
| 3748 | Shall fire, air, and water make a combined attack against me? |
| 3748 | Should I go up or down? |
| 3748 | Should we ever know anything about its opposite shores? |
| 3748 | Since nature had here provided vegetable nourishment, why should not the terrible mammals be there too? |
| 3748 | Still there was the question of provisions to be settled, and I asked--"How are we off for provisions?" |
| 3748 | Sunday, 23.--Where are we? |
| 3748 | Surely will my last night''s dream be realised? |
| 3748 | THE LIEDENBROCK MUSEUM OF GEOLOGY How shall I describe the strange series of passions which in succession shook the breast of Professor Liedenbrock? |
| 3748 | The door key?" |
| 3748 | Was Hans going to forsake us? |
| 3748 | Was I convinced of the truth of what I had heard? |
| 3748 | Was I indeed in advance when we became separated? |
| 3748 | Was I resigned? |
| 3748 | Was I to believe him in earnest in his intention to penetrate to the centre of this massive globe? |
| 3748 | Was he contemplating the abandonment of his plans? |
| 3748 | Was he on a journey of discovery? |
| 3748 | Was it an explosion of gas? |
| 3748 | Was it from the interior of the earth? |
| 3748 | Was it not always believed until Fourier that the temperature of the interplanetary spaces decreased perpetually? |
| 3748 | Was it the fall of some mighty pillar of the globe? |
| 3748 | Was my uncle beside himself? |
| 3748 | Was my uncle stark mad? |
| 3748 | Was there a ship at our disposal in some underground harbour? |
| 3748 | Was there any chance of escaping from the fury of this impetuous torrent, and of returning to the surface of the globe? |
| 3748 | Was this done on purpose? |
| 3748 | Were they asleep? |
| 3748 | Were they some of the two hundred thousand species of vegetables known hitherto, and did they claim a place of their own in the lacustrine flora? |
| 3748 | Were we destined to be thrown up out of Hecla, or by which of the seven other fiery craters in that island? |
| 3748 | Were we really crossing the layers of rock which overlie the granite foundation? |
| 3748 | Were we under Iceland again? |
| 3748 | What atmospheric disturbance was the cause of them? |
| 3748 | What can be more natural? |
| 3748 | What can be this cetacean, which neither Cuvier nor Blumenbach knew anything about? |
| 3748 | What connection could there possibly be between such words as ice, sir, anger, cruel, sacred wood, changeable, mother, bow, and sea? |
| 3748 | What could I do? |
| 3748 | What could be the meaning of such a change? |
| 3748 | What could those words mean?--Was he actually going to listen to reason? |
| 3748 | What could we do in the midst of a herd of these four- footed giants? |
| 3748 | What did it all mean? |
| 3748 | What did it matter to him? |
| 3748 | What did the Icelandic sage do? |
| 3748 | What did the man mean? |
| 3748 | What do you mean by talking of type, wretched Axel? |
| 3748 | What do you say now?" |
| 3748 | What do you see there?" |
| 3748 | What does that say?" |
| 3748 | What is that key? |
| 3748 | What monster can possibly fill itself with such a quantity of water, and spurt it up so continuously? |
| 3748 | What new treasures lay here for science to unfold? |
| 3748 | What other marvels did this cavern contain? |
| 3748 | What should I do with a translation? |
| 3748 | What sort of a man was this I had to do with, and what schemes was he now revolving in his fearless mind? |
| 3748 | What took place at that moment? |
| 3748 | What was Hans thinking of-- that man of the far West, but who seemed ruled by the fatalist doctrines of the East? |
| 3748 | What was the good of all this fuss about an old quarto, bound in rough calf, a yellow, faded volume, with a ragged seal depending from it? |
| 3748 | What, then, must other tracts be, more desert than this desert? |
| 3748 | Whence could this noise proceed? |
| 3748 | Whence this heat? |
| 3748 | Where are we?" |
| 3748 | Where could my uncle be at that moment? |
| 3748 | Where did error begin? |
| 3748 | Where did it lead to? |
| 3748 | Where did that sea terminate? |
| 3748 | Where did truth stop? |
| 3748 | Where is the bundle we sent down before us?" |
| 3748 | Where should I have lost myself? |
| 3748 | Where? |
| 3748 | Which were we to take? |
| 3748 | Which would get the upper hand, he or the secret? |
| 3748 | Whither are we flying? |
| 3748 | Whither is it carrying me? |
| 3748 | Who but he would have thought of it?" |
| 3748 | Who can assure us that an eruption is not brewing at this very moment? |
| 3748 | Who can tell?" |
| 3748 | Who could have taken it out? |
| 3748 | Who could place my feet on the right path, and bring me back to my company? |
| 3748 | Who would ever have imagined, under this terrestrial crust, an ocean with ebbing and flowing tides, with winds and storms?" |
| 3748 | Why am I unable to move my foot? |
| 3748 | Why had I not thought of that sooner? |
| 3748 | Why should it not be the same with the internal heat? |
| 3748 | Why should it not, at a certain depth, attain an impassable limit, instead of rising to such a point as to fuse the most infusible metals?" |
| 3748 | Why should not some of the strange birds restored by the immortal Cuvier again flap their''sail- broad vans''in this dense and heavy atmosphere? |
| 3748 | Why should we fear the horrors of famine, when death was swooping down upon us in a multitude of other forms? |
| 3748 | Why so insensible to my uncle''s interests? |
| 3748 | Why was I dumb at such a crisis? |
| 3748 | Why was he leaving us? |
| 3748 | Why? |
| 3748 | Will the elements lay plots against me? |
| 3748 | Wo n''t you?" |
| 3748 | Would he return in triumph or in discouragement? |
| 3748 | Would she not be afraid to join it herself? |
| 3748 | Would there be time left to die of starvation? |
| 3748 | Yes; who but he? |
| 3748 | You say that I am safe and sound?" |
| 3748 | _ Monday, August 24._--Will there be an end to it? |
| 3748 | a boat?" |
| 3748 | and if there is central heat may we not thence conclude that it is in process of diminution?" |
| 3748 | and is it not known at the present time that the greatest cold of the ethereal regions is never lower than 40 degrees below zero Fahr.? |
| 3748 | and what have you done with my gaiters?" |
| 3748 | and what was the use of saying facetious things at a time like this? |
| 3748 | at such a depth below the surface of the earth?" |
| 3748 | do n''t you recognise the symptoms?" |
| 3748 | do you think there is any chance of safety left?" |
| 3748 | do you think you can get to Iceland in a couple of days? |
| 3748 | have you come to meet me? |
| 3748 | is it you?" |
| 3748 | is that all?" |
| 3748 | must we then all die of hunger?" |
| 3748 | my uncle cried;"if you are frightened already, what will you be by and by? |
| 3748 | not come yet?" |
| 3748 | not of the book, inside which we have discovered it?" |
| 3748 | or was he determined to examine this passage to its farthest extremity? |
| 3748 | or will he reappear on the surface of the sea? |
| 3748 | presently we shall come to the transition period, and then--"What did the Professor mean? |
| 3748 | said I, a little moved out of my indifference;"and is the type good?" |
| 3748 | said my uncle, as coolly as he was able,"is that Snæfell?" |
| 3748 | said the Professor severely;"and why, pray?" |
| 3748 | should Martha and I be victims of a position of things in which we had not the smallest interest? |
| 3748 | the southern shore of the Liedenbrock sea, what would have become of us? |
| 3748 | what am I to believe? |
| 3748 | who can tell? |
| 3748 | will fate play tricks upon me? |
| 3748 | you are in love with Gräuben?" |
| 3748 | you wo n''t go back?" |
