28270A botanist?
28270Ah, you are oppressed by our misfortunes?
28270Ah, you here alone, Eros?
28270Am I then to believe that you were playing a part when you seemed a little while ago so anxious to recognise Psyche in the drooping butterfly?
28270Am I to congratulate you on your distractions?
28270And could I be expected to prolong an ardour so foreign to my nature?
28270And it may be present even where no final conquest can ensue?
28270And to have the opening door shut in our faces?
28270And what does the new life matter to us now?

28270But I bore you, and what does it matter now?
28270But could you not gather from the decoration of the interior to whom of us it is inscribed?
28270But is it dedicated to me?
28270But now it can not matter; can it, Rhea?
28270But now it seems that you have invented an occupation for Ceres?
28270But the moon-- what is happening to_ it_?
28270But what does Nike want with you?
28270But what is the nature of the sculpture?
28270But what was it that the oracle of Nemea amused and puzzled us by saying,"To form a collection is well, yet to take a walk is better"?
28270But where is Olympus?
28270Can I imagine myself admitting the necessity of guarding against such an ungentlemanlike form of attack?
28270Can it be so?
28270Can that be grey wool that hangs in the sky, and droops like a curtain over the opposite hills?

28270How were they different?
28270How, sire?
28270I suppose you disliked living in Hades very much?
28270I wonder to whom amongst us it is dedicated?
28270Instead of challenging the barbarians to a foolish trial of strength, why not make them your companions, and learn their accomplishments?

28270Is she here?
28270Is that my poor friend Cydippe?
28270Is that right?
28270Is this lavender?
28270Is this our first experience of the mystery?
28270Is your Majesty disposed to be sung to?
28270It was at that moment, I suppose, that you besought Zeus so passionately to confer upon Psyche the rank of a goddess?
28270More journeys, more weary, weary journeys?
28270My sense of decorum-- may it not have been excessive?
28270Myself, Æsculapius?
28270Nay, did''st thou hear this twittering peal of song?
28270Nothing very ugly, I hope?
28270Of what are you weary?
28270Of what, Nike?
28270On that leaden water, with the little cruel breakers like coriander seeds?
28270Only, what will be the result when they discover that it is all a mistake, and that I am a mortal like themselves?
28270Or shall I not rather go to prepare the mind of Demeter for an agreeable surprise?
28270Perhaps that is the soul?
28270Perhaps three of the Oceanides, bright as the pure foam of the wave?
28270Perhaps you remember?
28270Rather amusing, surely, to find the cluster occasionally spring up out of reach, to find the polished waist of the reed slip from your hands?
28270Shall I be_ bound_ upon this muddy, slippery rock?
28270Shall we not collect our forces in unison, mortal as they are, and die together in resisting this invasion?
28270Shall we recollect this little episode when we walk up the golden street presently to our houses?
28270Shall we see them?
28270Shall we start again?
28270Shall you be happy by yourselves, Kronos and Rhea?
28270Strike the darling rogues?
28270That is the whole principle of religion, surely, Aphrodite?
28270That rude old story about Alcmena, Eros-- it is impossible that you can be the dupe of that?
28270Then what was the meaning of your apparent infatuation for Psyche?
28270Then-- she was not dead?
28270These barbarians appear to avoid them with an invincible terror, but why should we do so?
28270They were saved from defeat; is it not your unspoken hope to be saved from victory, saved from what was your essential self?
28270To give you a convenient excuse for neglecting her?
28270To whom can this temple be possibly dedicated?
28270Was it fastened to any symbol?
28270We hear that you have already invented a means of amusing Zeus, Hermes?

28270What do you mean by a"concession"?
28270What does anything matter?
28270What does it mean?
28270What does it... exactly_ mean_?
28270What has happened?
28270What is it now, Thy phantom paradise of gorgeous pearl, With sibilant streams and palmy tier on tier Of wind- bewhitened foliage?
28270What is it that can have turned the robes of the Eumenides white, and enamelled their wrinkled flesh with youth?

28270What is it?
28270What is that curious distant sound?
28270What is that horror in the sky?
28270What is the matter with you, Heracles?

28270What shall it be?
28270What shall you do here?
28270What song has the missel- thrush?
28270What was the object of these?
28270What will you do with these plants?
28270What, you have brought that ivory box with you?
28270Where is Æsculapius?
28270Where the marchantias grow?
28270Which is he?
28270Which way, Cydippe?
28270Whither do you go, my sister?
28270Who could have imagined that we should have to take it into practical account?
28270Who do you suppose they were, these laughing girls in white?
28270Who is here?
28270Whom do you suppose it to represent, Eros?
28270Whose eyes, father and king?
28270Why are they in white?
28270Why did you burden your hands with that?
28270Why do you say"chastened"?
28270Why has he driven us out now?
28270Why have I brought you here?
28270Why not?
28270Why should I not sleep?
28270Why should it be tedious?
28270Why was she angry?
28270Will your Majesty be pleased to descend to the lower boskage?
28270With any animation of gesture, Circe?
28270Would you have me shriek and moan?
28270Would you have me throw myself in convulsive ecstasy upon that ambiguous insect?
28270Would you repeat it again?
28270Yes?
28270You can not have been shown the singularly cheerful little jewel which Pallas has brought with her?
28270You do n''t even recall what the inhabitants of the country were like?
28270You do not, I hope, give way to the most foolish of the emotions, and endure the silly torture of self- reproach?
28270You like Hermes, do you not, Kronos?
28270You must have thought me negligent?
28270You remember it?
28270You speak of Cadmus and Harmonia; but is not your case the opposite of theirs?
28270You think that Cydippe is dead?
28270You will continue, I suppose, to make your main business the stimulating and the guiding of the affections?
28270You would, I suppose, describe them as exceptional?
28270Your Highness was once something of a botanist?

28270[_ Raising her voice._] Did you sleep, Kronos?
28270how am I to capture, how to communicate with it?
28270what are those filaments of blue and violet and grassy green which flutter in the cordage of the three ships?

3013( 1) How do you like them?
3013( 1) Why have you come here a- twisting your game leg in circles?

3013And over yonder?
3013And what say you?
3013And who built such a wall?
3013And why, pray, does it draggle in this fashion?
3013Are they hoping with our help to triumph over their foes or to be useful to their friends?
3013Are they not our most mortal foes?
3013Are we going to war about a woman?
3013Are you not astonished at the wall being completed so quickly?
3013Besides, is not Athene recognized as Zeus''sole heiress?
3013But come, what is it like to live with the birds?
3013But tell me, has your father had you entered on the registers of his phratria?
3013But tell me, where are you flying to?
3013But tell me, who are you?

3013EPOPS And his?
3013EPOPS And how are we to give them health, which belongs to the gods?
3013EPOPS And how shall we give wealth to mankind?
3013EPOPS And they are?
3013EPOPS Are you calling me?
3013EPOPS Are you chaffing me about my feathers?
3013EPOPS Are you dicasts?
3013EPOPS At what, then?
