19753 | what bliss; Yet, Lili, if I loved thee not, Where should I find my happiness? |
5641 | Have you seen nothing in the sky? |
5641 | ''Was it in this way'', Eddington asks,''that Rutherford rendered concrete the nucleus which his scientific imagination had created?'' |
5641 | ''Why do I regard as essential the question whether Jungius conceived the idea of metamorphosis as we know it? |
5641 | * We follow Goethe''s line when, in order to answer the question,''What is electricity?'' |
5641 | 1Wär''nicht das Auge sonnenhaft, Wie könnten wir das Licht erblicken? |
5641 | Accordingly, in his Ethics of the Dust, Ruskin does not answer the question:''What is Life?'' |
5641 | Among the greatest achievements of modern science, does not the conception of evolution take a foremost place? |
5641 | And last but not least, what was the ancient conception of Chaos which led van Helmont to choose this name as an archetype for the new word he needed? |
5641 | As to air itself, why should he describe it as belonging to the realm of the''uncreated things''? |
5641 | But is there any need, I asked myself, to cling to this purely static notion of man''s capacity for gaining knowledge? |
5641 | But what does Bradley''s observation tell us, once we exclude all foregone conclusions? |
5641 | But who could give me this knowledge? |
5641 | By contemplation( Anschauen) of an ever- creative nature, may we not make ourselves worthy to be spiritual sharers in her productions? |
5641 | CHAPTER II Where Do We Stand To- day? |
5641 | Dare one believe that in electricity the soul of nature had been discovered? |
5641 | Eddington starts by asking:''When Lord Rutherford showed us the atomic nucleus, did he find it or did he make it?'' |
5641 | Eddington''s question,''Manufacture or Discovery?'' |
5641 | Faithful to his question,''How does colour arise?'' |
5641 | For why, then, should the whole meteorological sphere be involved, and why should living beings react in the way described? |
5641 | How, then, do we receive the conviction of the latter''s existence? |
5641 | In other words, where does nature show levity concentrated in a limited part of space- that is, in a condition characteristic of ponderable matter? |
5641 | Indeed, how could it be otherwise for a purely kinematic world- observation? |
5641 | Is it not strange, that an infant should be the heir of the whole world, and see those mysteries which the books of the learned never unfold?'' |
5641 | Is it then possible that pure numbers can effect what took place above and within Nagasaki, Hiroshima, etc.? |
5641 | It is again Eddington who has drawn attention particularly to this question: see the chapter,''Discovery or Manufacture?'' |
5641 | It is always a flash of light- and how could it be otherwise? |
5641 | It is characteristic of Goethe''s whole mode of procedure that he at once changed the question,''What is colour?'' |
5641 | Like the modern experimenter, he, too, is faced with the question''Discovery or Manufacture?'' |
5641 | May we not reasonably judge from what hath happened? |
5641 | Need we wonder that we are challenged to do so in our day, when mankind is several centuries older than it was in the time of Galileo? |
5641 | Our question therefore must be: what is the light- image whose boundary comes to coloured manifestation in the phenomenon of the rainbow? |
5641 | PART II Goetheanism- Whence and Whither? |
5641 | Secondly, what roles do the other members of our planetary system play as compared with those of the sun and the moon? |
5641 | The question:''How does Anthroposophy explain this or that?'' |
5641 | WHERE DO WE STAND TO- DAY? |
5641 | We find ourselves faced here with an instance of the problem,''Discovery or Manufacture?'' |
5641 | We ought rather to ask:''How does Anthroposophy help us to read more clearly this or that otherwise enigmatical chapter of the script of existence?'' |
5641 | What conception of the infant condition of man must have existed in a soul for it to unite these two passages from the Gospels in this way? |
5641 | What could be more natural than to take this as evidence that the method of thought developed during the past era of science was on the right course? |
5641 | What is it but Ruskin''s''Stand by Form against Force''that Howard is here saying in his own way? |
5641 | What is modern man to make of them? |
5641 | What prevented him from ranking it side by side with air? |
5641 | What reason was there for giving''vapour''the rank of a particular condition of matter? |
5641 | What then happens when a so- called''conductor''is brought into such a field? |
5641 | What was it, then, which had prevented Wolff from seeing things aright? |
5641 | What, then, is the soul''s characteristic relationship to the world around at this stage? |
5641 | Where lay the causes of the contradiction thus revealed between human thinking and human doing? |
5641 | Where, we must now ask, do we find imponderable essence so much under the sway of gravity that it shows the correspondingly paradoxical features? |
5641 | Whither vanishes this force when it leaves the body, and is there any possibility of its revealing itself even without occupying such a body? |
5641 | Why was this? |
5641 | into the question,''How does colour arise?'' |
5641 | that period I pass by; and what have I to do with that of which I can recall no vestige? |
5641 | we first ask,''How does electricity arise?'' |
5733 | Mademoiselle,replied he, somewhat embarrassed,"I know not"--"How?" |
5733 | We will not speak of it,I replied:"what is the use of it? |
5733 | What do you desire? |
5733 | What do you want? |
5733 | What hinders me,he exclaimed,"from taking one of the green cords, and fitting it, if not to your neck, to your back?" |
5733 | What would he say, then? |
5733 | Who allowed you to open that box? |
5733 | Who has revealed that to you? |
5733 | Why not? |
5733 | Why not? |
5733 | Young gentleman, how came you here, and what are you doing? |
5733 | --"And do you, Emilia, give me this advice, to avoid your house?" |
5733 | --"And what reward do you require?" |
5733 | --"But what shall I do?" |
5733 | --"Do you know me, then?" |
5733 | --"For example,"I continued,"if any one who knew, prized, honored, and adored you, laid such a paper before you, what would you do?" |
5733 | --"How so, master?" |
5733 | --"In what company?" |
5733 | --"In what do they consist?" |
5733 | --"What do you want to know?" |
5733 | --"What is known, then?" |
5733 | --"Where did you become acquainted with him?" |
5733 | --"Who, then, are you,"he asked in defiance,"who dare speak thus?" |
5733 | --"Why not?" |
5733 | And what is Homer in the/Ilias/? |
5733 | And what more could we desire? |
5733 | And what then was Religion, what was Poetry, what was all high and heroic feeling? |
5733 | But should not this redound to his credit, that he showed his art just where an object for it presented itself? |
5733 | But where should these images be got except from nature? |
5733 | Can I serve you?" |
5733 | Do I not always say, that ingratitude is the greatest of vices, and no man would be ungrateful if he were not forgetful?" |
5733 | Do you see these three apples?" |
5733 | For what good is it to''whine, put finger i''the eye, and sob,''in such a case? |
5733 | How could I comfort her without at least assuring her of some sort of affection? |
5733 | How has such a temper been attained in this so lofty and impetuous mind, once too, dark, desolate and full of doubt, more than any other? |
5733 | How is he who is encompassed with a double terror to be emancipated from fear? |
5733 | How may we, each of us in his several sphere, attain it, or strengthen it, for ourselves? |
5733 | I had my sword by my side too; and could I not soon have finished with the old man, in case of hostile demonstrations? |
5733 | I had often pressed my friend Behrisch, too, that he would make plain to me what was meant by experience? |
5733 | I might have looked worse than I myself knew, since for a long time I had not consulted a looking- glass; and who does not become used to himself? |
5733 | Might I not look more closely at that golden railing, which appears to enclose in a very wide circle the interior of the garden?" |
5733 | Spangenberg, what is your business with Thorane? |
5733 | Still more, to snarl and snap in malignant wise,''like dog distract, or monkey sick?'' |
5733 | Suppose we had lost the battle: what would have been their fate at this moment? |
5733 | The painter professedly imitated nature: why not the poet also? |
5733 | The reply of a pious master- tinman was especially noted, who, when one of his craft attempted to shame him by asking,"Who is really your confessor?" |
5733 | These depressing reflections, as I was soon convinced, were only to be banished by activity; but of what was I to take hold? |
5733 | These men-- are they, then, completely blinded? |
5733 | These towns will be imperial towns, will they? |
5733 | Think you the enemy would have stood with his hands before him? |
5733 | This house- holder-- what would he have? |
5733 | This one, too, you have now taken away from me, without letting the other go; and how many do you not manage to keep at once? |
5733 | Thus I also was then a Prussian in my views, or, to speak more correctly, a Fritzian; since what cared we for Prussia? |
5733 | Was it not just so with him who is absent, and who at last betrothed himself to you under my very eyes? |
5733 | What has she confessed, then? |
5733 | What has she signed?" |
5733 | What was I to do? |
5733 | What will people say? |
5733 | What will you say if I entreat you not to continue your lessons? |
5733 | Who could ever see it? |
5733 | Who knows, or can figure what the Man Shakespeare was, by the first, by the twentieth perusal of his works? |
5733 | Who was I, she would like to know, that had a right to doubt the family and respectability of this young man? |
5733 | Why do we wish to assemble in such numbers, except to take a mutual interest in each other? |
5733 | With respect to both, but especially the latter, the cause lies close at hand; but who dares to speak it out? |
5733 | With such youthful impressions, which nothing had as yet rubbed off, how could I have resolved to set foot in an inn in a strange city? |
5733 | Yet who had ever seen it? |
5733 | You remember that small- ware woman at the corner, who is neither young nor pretty? |
5733 | and could I do that at such a moment in a cool, moderate manner? |
5733 | and how can that be done when so many little secessions are to be seen in our circle? |
5733 | one must select that which is important: but what is important? |
5733 | place?" |
5733 | said she, with graceful astonishment,"do you forget your friends so soon?" |
5733 | street?" |
5733 | you serve?" |
6314 | And was this his only observation? 6314 And what was it?" |
6314 | Capable, for instance, of suing and being sued? |
6314 | Do you conceive Dumpkins to have been a thing or a person? |
6314 | How so? 6314 What is your secret opinion of Dumpkins?" |
6314 | What was it? |
6314 | --was not he an elevated character? |
6314 | A French heart it must be, or how should it follow with its sympathies a French movement? |
6314 | A favorite of nature, so eminent in some directions, by what right could he complain that her bounties were not indiscriminate? |
6314 | And how did he surmount this unhappy self- distrust? |
6314 | And in all Christendom, who, let us ask, who, who but Shakspeare has found the power for effectually working this mysterious mode of being? |
6314 | And of what consequence in whose hands were the reins which were never needed? |
6314 | And to whom was the Bible an indispensable resource, if not to Lamb? |
6314 | And was it upon Shakspeare only, or upon him chiefly, that he lavished his pedantry? |
6314 | And where was such an education to be sought? |
6314 | At this moment, for instance, how could geology be treated otherwise than childishly by one who should rely upon the encyclopaedias of 1800? |
6314 | But on this arose the suggestion-- Why not execute an insurance of this nature twenty times over? |
6314 | But perhaps Voltaire might dislike Pope? |
6314 | But then revolves the question, why must we laugh? |
6314 | But waiving this, let us ask, what is meant by"correctness?" |
6314 | But was this, as Steevens most disingenuously pretends, to be taken as an exponent of the public feeling towards Shakspeare? |
6314 | But were they undisputed masters? |
6314 | But which? |
6314 | But why not have printed it intelligibly as 1741? |
6314 | But why should W. wear boots in Westmoreland? |
6314 | But why? |
6314 | But why? |
6314 | Correctness in what? |
6314 | Did Mr. Lamb not strengthen this remark by some other of the same nature?" |
6314 | Do we mean, then, that a childish error could permanently master his understanding? |
6314 | Do we mean, then, to compare Addison with an idiot? |
6314 | Does a man at Paris expect to see Moliere reproduced in proportion to his admitted precedency in the French drama? |
6314 | Else how came Spenser''s life and fortunes to be so utterly overwhelmed in oblivion? |
6314 | For instance, it was then always said that Charles I had suffered on the 30th of January 1648/9, and why? |
6314 | For instance,"Can you tell pork from veal in the dark, or distinguish Sherries from pure Malaga? |
6314 | How are we to account, then, for that deluge, as if from Lethe, which has swept away so entirely the traditional memorials of one so illustrious? |
6314 | How is all this to be explained? |
6314 | How will he comfort himself after her death? |
6314 | If so, whence came Rowe''s edition, Pope''s, Theobald''s, Sir Thomas Hanmer''s, Bishop Warburton''s, all upon the heels of one another? |
6314 | If the public indeed were universally duped by the paper, what motive had Philips for resentment? |
6314 | If this were accident, how marvellous that the same insanity should possess the two great capitals of Christendom in the same year? |
6314 | If, again, it were not accident, but due to some common cause, why is not that cause explained? |
6314 | In connecting it, or effecting the transitions? |
6314 | In developing the thought? |
6314 | In the grammar? |
6314 | In the metre? |
6314 | In the use of words? |
6314 | Is it no happiness to escape the hands of scoundrel reviewers? |
6314 | Is this coat- of- arms, then, Sir Thomas Lucy''s? |
6314 | Is_ that_ nothing? |
6314 | Lamb?" |
6314 | Let us put a case; suppose that Goethe''s death had occurred fifty years ago, that is, in the year 1785, what would have been the general impression? |
6314 | Like the general rules of justice,& c., in ethics, to which every man assents; but when the question comes about any practical case,_ is_ it just? |
6314 | Milton only,--and why? |
6314 | Napoleon started when he beheld her,_ Qui etes vous_? |
6314 | Now what proof has Mr. Malone adduced, that the acres of Asbies were not as valuable as those of Tugton? |
6314 | Now, if the child died naturally, all was right; but how, if the child did_ not_ die? |
6314 | Or, in any case, what plea had he for attacking Pope, who had not come forward as the author of the essay? |
6314 | Our translation is this:"Here lies Piron; who was-- nothing; or, if_ that_ could be, was less: How!--nothing? |
6314 | Singly, what am I to do? |
6314 | Some readers will inquire, who paid for the printing and paper,& c.? |
6314 | These calls upon the moral powers, which in music so stormy, many a life is doomed to hear, how were they faced? |
6314 | This heart, with this double capacity-- where should he seek it? |
6314 | This will be admitted; but would it not have been better to draw the income without the toil? |
6314 | This would take leave of the reader with effect; but how was it to be introduced? |
6314 | Very well; but why then must we weep? |
6314 | Was Addison''s neglect representative of a general neglect? |
6314 | Was Mr. Hazlitt then of that class? |
6314 | Was he a Frenchman, or was he not? |
6314 | Was this man, so memorably good by life- long sacrifice of himself, in any profound sense a Christian? |
6314 | Wesley--[have you read his life?] |
6314 | What are we to think of this document? |
6314 | What did he mean by that? |
6314 | What energies did it task? |
6314 | What if he does? |
6314 | What kind of woman is''t? |
6314 | What may we assume to have been the value of its fee- simple? |
6314 | What peace is possible under the curse which even now is gathering against your heads? |
6314 | What temptations did it unfold? |
6314 | What trials did it impose? |
6314 | What years? |
6314 | What_ was_ that wickedness? |
6314 | Whither, indeed, could he fly for comfort, if not to his Bible? |
6314 | Why must we laugh? |
6314 | With such prospects, what need of an elaborate education? |
6314 | Would Europe have been sensible even of the event? |
6314 | Would Europe have felt a shock? |
6314 | Yet the editors of Pope, as well as many other writers, have confused their readers by this double date; and why? |
6314 | Yet,_ as_ a part of futurity, how is it connected with our present times? |
6314 | at what era? |
6314 | is it possible to obtain your attention?" |
6314 | under what exciting cause? |
6312 | I asked such, if they were not wearied? 6312 Mind thy affair,"says the spirit:--"coxcomb, would you meddle with the skies, or with other people?" |
6312 | --"Sire, every regiment that approaches the heavy artillery is sacrified: Sire, what orders?" |
6312 | And to what purpose? |
6312 | And what guaranty for the permanence of his opinions? |
6312 | Are the agents of nature, and the power to understand them, worth no more than a street serenade, or the breath of a cigar? |
6312 | Are the opinions of a man on right and wrong, on fate and causation, at the mercy of a broken sleep or an indigestion? |
6312 | But he is forced to say,"O, these things will be as they must be: what can you do? |
6312 | But what are these cares and works the better? |
6312 | But when the question is to life, and its materials, and its auxiliaries, how does he profit me? |
6312 | But where are his new things of today? |
6312 | Can any biography shed light on the localities into which the Midsummer Night''s Dream admits me? |
6312 | Did Shakspeare confide to any notary or parish recorder, sacristan, or surrogate, in Stratford, the genesis of that delicate creation? |
6312 | Did he feel himself, overmatched by any companion? |
6312 | Did the bard speak with authority? |
6312 | Do you love me? |
6312 | Does he throw away the pen? |
6312 | Does the general voice of ages affirm any principle, or is no community of sentiment discoverable in distant times and places? |
6312 | Even the men of grander proportion suffer some deduction from the misfortune( shall I say?) |
6312 | Having at some time seen that the happy soul will carry all the arts in power, they say, Why cumber ourselves with superfluous realizations? |
6312 | He builds his fortunes, maintains the laws, cherishes his children; but he asks himself, why? |
6312 | He knew the grammar and rudiments of the Mother- Tongue,--how could he not read off one strain into music? |
6312 | Here is activity of thought; but what is it for? |
6312 | Homer lies in sunshine; Chaucer is glad and erect; and Saadi says,"It was rumored abroad that I was penitent; but what had I to do with repentance?" |
6312 | How can he hesitate? |
6312 | I say, with the Spartan,''Why do you speak so much to the purpose, of that which is nothing to the purpose?'' |
6312 | If he should appear in any company of human souls, who would not march in his troop? |
6312 | If not,--if there be no such God''s word in the man,--what care we how adroit, how fluent, how brilliant he is? |
6312 | If there are conflicting evidences, why not state them? |
6312 | If there is a wish for immortality, and no evidence, why not say just that? |
6312 | If there is not ground for a candid thinker to make up his mind, yea or nay,--why not suspend the judgment? |
6312 | Is his belief in God and Duty no deeper than a stomach evidence? |
6312 | Is his eye creative? |
6312 | Is it not a rare contrivance that lodged the due inertia in every creature, the conserving, resisting energy, the anger at being waked or changed? |
6312 | Is it otherwise with the church? |
6312 | Is life to be led in a brave or in a cowardly manner? |
6312 | Is not the state a question? |
6312 | Is the name of virtue to be a barrier to that which is virtue? |
6312 | Is there at last in his breast a Delhi whereof to ask concerning any thought or thing, whether it be verily so, yea or nay? |
6312 | Is there caste? |
6312 | Is this fancy? |
6312 | It is but a Twelfth Night, or Midsummer- Night''s Dream, or a Winter Evening''s Tale: what signifies another picture more or less? |
6312 | Now shall we, because a good nature inclines us to virtue''s side, say, There are no doubts,--and lie for the right? |
6312 | Of what use, then, would crimes be to me?" |
6312 | On another, what was the age of the world? |
6312 | One day, he asked, whether the planets were inhabited? |
6312 | One remembers again the trumpet- text in the Koran--"The heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, think ye we have created them in jest?" |
6312 | Or, to put any of the questions which touch mankind nearest,--shall the young man aim at a leading part in law, in politics, in trade? |
6312 | Over his name, he drew an emblematic pair of scales, and wrote,_ Que sais- je?_ under it. |
6312 | Shall I add, as one juggle of this enchantment, the stunning non- intercourse law which makes cooperation impossible? |
6312 | Shall he, then, cutting the stays that hold him fast to the social state, put out to sea with no guidance but his genius? |
6312 | Shall the archangels be less majestic and sweet than the figures that have actually walked the earth? |
6312 | Shall we say that Montaigne has spoken wisely, and given the right and permanent expression of the human mind, on the conduct of life? |
6312 | So far from there being anything divine in the low and proprietary sense of, Do you love me? |
6312 | The destiny of organized nature is amelioration, and who can tell its limits? |

11123 | Is''t in train? |
11123 | Is''t not enough, that by the word I gave, My doom for evermore is cast? |
11123 | Is''t not mere masquerading? |
11123 | Is''t possible? |
11123 | It sounds more near; Plover, owl, and jay appear, All awake, around, above? |
11123 | Know''st thou it well? |
11123 | Know''st thou it well? |
11123 | Know''st thou the house? |
11123 | Know''st thou the meaning of, He loveth thee? |
11123 | Know''st thou the mountain, and its cloudy bridge? |
11123 | Let that suffice: but tell me, who art thou, And what unbless''d o''erruling destiny Hath hither led thee with thy friend? |
11123 | Lie there treasures hidden yonder? |
11123 | Lifts not the Heaven its dome above? |
11123 | MARGARET But he will surely marry her? |
11123 | MARGARET But, who, I wonder, could the caskets bring? |
11123 | MARGARET Did you not see it? |
11123 | MARGARET How mean you, Sir? |
11123 | MARGARET How so? |
11123 | MARGARET How, dearest? |
11123 | MARGARET How? |
11123 | MARGARET Then thou dost not believe? |
11123 | MARGARET What from the floor ascendeth like a ghost? |
11123 | MARGARET What, there? |
11123 | MARGARET(_ coming out_) Who lieth here? |
11123 | MARGARET(_ turning toward him_) And art thou he? |
11123 | MARTHA And had you naught besides to bring? |
11123 | MARTHA Gretchen? |
11123 | MARTHA How? |
11123 | MARTHA I mean, has passion never stirred your breast? |
11123 | MARTHA Is dead? |
11123 | MARTHA Speak frankly, sir, none is there you have met? |
11123 | MARTHA What, all my truth, my love forgotten quite? |
11123 | MARTHA Yet hath your heart no earnest preference known? |
11123 | MARTHA Your business, Sir? |
11123 | MARTHA''Tis I. Pray what have you to say to me? |
11123 | MARTHA(_ coming out_) Where are the murderers? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES A man? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Admittance unto me deny? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES And the danger to which thou dost expose thyself? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES And this young lady, we shall find her too? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES But whitherward to travel are we fain? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Come hither, friend!--Your name is Nicodemus? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Do you ask? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Explain, ere further time we lose, What special faculty you choose? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Hast done? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES How long is it her wo nt to roam? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES I can not loose the bands of the avenger, nor withdraw his bolts.--Save her!--Who was it plunged her into perdition? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Is it permitted here with you to sit? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Like any Frenchman now you speak, But do not fret, I pray; why seek To hurry to enjoyment straight? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Of this lone life have you not had your fill? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Of what use is the sieve THE HE- MONKEY(_ taking it down_) The sieve would show, If thou wert a thief or no? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Part of that power which still Produceth good, whilst ever scheming ill. FAUST What hidden mystery in this riddle lies? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Poor Son of Earth, without my aid, How would thy weary days have flown? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES The doctor? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES This displeases you? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES We heard erewhile, unless I''m wrong, Voices well trained in chorus pealing? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES What wilt thou wager? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Where the four winds have blown it, who can say? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Where then bestowed himself hath he? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Wherefore thy passion so excite, And thus thine eloquence inflame? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Which? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Why let thyself be troubled here? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES Why not? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES(_ Rushing along on black horses_) FAUST What weave they yonder round the Ravenstone? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES(_ approaching the fire_) And then this pot? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES(_ as the mist sinks, comes forward from behind the stove, in the dress of a traveling scholar_) Why all this uproar? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES(_ in a whisper_) What is it, then? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES(_ kneeling before the throne_) What is accursed and gladly hailed? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES(_ to_ BRANDER) And you? |
11123 | MEPHISTOPHELES(_ to_ FAUST) What think you of the charming creatures? |
11123 | MERRYMAN This ca nt about posterity I hate; About posterity were I to prate, Who then the living would amuse? |
11123 | Makes not our carriage a handsome appearance,--the new one? |
11123 | Makes sure Olympus, heavenly powers combining? |
11123 | Man''s life is in the blood, and where, in sooth, Pulses the blood so strongly as in youth? |
11123 | Man''s loftiest right, kind nature''s high bequest, For your mean purpose basely sport away? |
11123 | Man, and man''s plighted word, are these unknown to thee? |
11123 | Many things I had done; but then the cost of such changes Who does not fear, especially now in this season of danger? |
11123 | May I no longer feed the silent hope Which in my solitude I fondly cherish''d? |
11123 | May I some future time repeat my visit, To hear on what your wisdom grounds your views? |
11123 | Must I be forced myself to name? |
11123 | Must I implore a miracle from heaven? |
11123 | Must I seek counsel from an ancient dame? |
11123 | Must gentle woman quite forego her nature, Force against force employ, like Amazons Usurp the sword from man, and bloodily Revenge oppression? |
11123 | Must the good one perish in this fashion? |
11123 | My old hosts, I fain would greet them, Helpful they, an honest pair; May I hope today to meet them? |
11123 | My trust and candor wilt thou thus repay? |
11123 | Naught a laugh to raise? |
11123 | No more respect to my red vest dost pay? |
11123 | No morsel raising To thy famished lips? |
11123 | Now answer me: how dost thou prove thyself The priestess''brother, Agamemnon''s son? |
11123 | O king, What silent purpose broods in thy deep soul? |
11123 | ORESTES And fearest thou for Clytemnestra naught? |
11123 | ORESTES Does prudent forethought prompt thee to conceal Thy name and race? |
11123 | ORESTES Is this Lyæus''temple? |
11123 | ORESTES Noble actions? |
11123 | ORESTES Say, who is he that threatens us? |
11123 | ORESTES What say''st thou? |
11123 | ORESTES Will he permit our peaceable return? |
11123 | Of the anguish- stricken? |
11123 | Oh let thy vessels bear me thither, king? |
11123 | Oh,''tis he!-- Shall I adduce the likeness to his sire, Or the deep rapture of my inmost heart, In further token of assurance, king? |
11123 | On joyous pinions o''er the advancing host, Doth not triumphant conquest proudly soar? |
11123 | On whose experienc''d words, with wisdom fraught, As on the language of an oracle, E''en gods delighted hung? |
11123 | One eye only, and but one tooth Using still alternately? |
11123 | One of the Graiæ art thou? |
11123 | Or flush of earnest thought in evening''s glow? |
11123 | Or he who, scorning safety, boldly roams Through woods and dreary wilds, to scour the land Of thieves and robbers? |
11123 | Orestes, fondly lov''d,--canst thou not hear me? |
11123 | Ought I that impulse to obey? |
11123 | PHILEMON Who as sinful can pronounce it? |
11123 | PHORKYAS Children, how, already weary, though you scarce have rubbed your eyes? |
11123 | PYLADES Dost thou not know us, and this sacred grove, And this blest light, which shines not on the dead? |
11123 | PYLADES Needs there persuasion when no choice is granted? |
11123 | Perchance my glad return is near; and how, If I, unmindful of her purposes, Had here attach''d myself against her will? |
11123 | Perchance you would retain the treasure? |
11123 | Poor fools the muses''fair regards Why court for such a paltry end? |
11123 | Pray, Did you with Master Hans there chance to sup? |
11123 | Professor of German Language and Literature, Yale University To what literary genus does Goethe''s_ Iphigenia_ belongs? |
11123 | REUNION[26]( 1815) Can it be, O star transcendent, That I fold thee to my breast? |
11123 | Rash mandate-- rashly, too, obeyed!-- What hither sweeps like spectral shade? |
11123 | Real is it, or a phantom show? |
11123 | Refreshment seek I, there repairing? |
11123 | SCENE II IPHIGENIA, PYLADES IPHIGENIA Whence art thou? |
11123 | SCENE III IPHIGENIA, THOAS IPHIGENIA Me hast thou summon''d? |
11123 | SCENE IV IPHIGENIA, PYLADES PYLADES Where is she? |
11123 | SHOOTING STAR With rapid motion from on high, I shot in starry splendor; Now prostrate on the grass I lie;-- Who aid will kindly render? |
11123 | SIEBEL What take you now these travelers to be? |
11123 | SIEBEL Where is the fellow? |
11123 | SPIRIT Who calls me? |
11123 | STUDENT Upon her neck I fain would hang with joy; To reach it, say, what means must I employ? |
11123 | STUDY FAUST, MEPHISTOPHELES FAUST A knock? |
11123 | Said we not always then he should have his own choice in the matter? |
11123 | Say is the melody, Say is the movement right? |
11123 | Say why thou comest alone to this well which lies at such a distance, When all the rest are content with the water they find in the village? |
11123 | Say, is it life, within this holy fane, Like a poor ghost around its sepulchre To linger out my days? |
11123 | Say, is it noble, with so much of mockery straightway to greet me, That I am sent from the house while my foot is scarce yet on the threshold?" |
11123 | Seest thou yonder snail? |
11123 | Shall He in time to come not defend us and furnish us succor? |
11123 | Shall I fly, or shall I stay? |
11123 | Shall I knock? |
11123 | Shall I with chisel, pen, or graver write? |
11123 | Shall death o''ercome a life that all revere? |
11123 | Shall the dire curse eternally endure? |
11123 | She beckons_ FAUST_ to approach._] FAUST(_ to_ MEPHISTOPHELES) Tell me, to what doth all this tend? |
11123 | She sang to him, and spake the while"Why lurest thou my brood, With human wit and human guile From out their native flood? |
11123 | She? |
11123 | Shines not with twofold charms their face, When rising from the wave? |
11123 | So then tonight-- FAUST What''s that to you? |
11123 | So thou my captive art? |
11123 | So will the world succumb to ill, And what is worthy perish quite; How then may grow the sense which still Instructs us to discern the right? |
11123 | Spring weaves already in the birchen trees; E''en the late pine- grove feels her quickening powers; Should she not work within these limbs of ours? |
11123 | Steeds, servants, carriage, where are they? |
11123 | Still for the fond illusion yearns my soul? |
11123 | Straightway answered and said the good and intelligent mother:"Why wilt thou always, father, be doing our son such injustice? |
11123 | Suffers the godlike man? |
11123 | THE ERL- KING[13]( 1782) Who rides there so late through the night dark and drear? |
11123 | THE FAIR ONE(_ dancing_) Then at our ball, what doth he here? |
11123 | THE LORD Hast thou naught else to say? |
11123 | THE LORD Know''st thou my servant, Faust? |
11123 | THE OTHERS What will you do? |
11123 | THE WITCH But why? |
11123 | THE WITCH Now tell me, gentlemen, what you desire? |
11123 | THOAS And dost thou think That the uncultured Scythian will attend The voice of truth and of humanity Which Atreus, the Greek, heard not? |
11123 | THOAS Bear they their own guilt, or their ancestor''s? |
11123 | THOAS To hear them have I not an equal right? |
11123 | THOAS Wherefore delay the sacrifice? |
11123 | Tell me honestly, therefore, what goads thee to such a decision?" |
11123 | Tell me, art thou not judge among this fugitive people, Father, who thus in an instant canst bid their passions be quiet? |
11123 | Tell me, of Phorkyas''Daughters which art thou? |
11123 | Tell me, stand we motionless, Or still forward do we press? |
11123 | Tell me, what burdens thy heart? |
11123 | The All- embracer, All- sustainer, Holds and sustains he not Thee, me, himself? |
11123 | The deep, deep heavens, then lure thee not,-- The moist yet radiant blue,-- Not thine own form,--to tempt thy lot''Midst this eternal dew?" |
11123 | The devil''s presence-- was it but a dream? |
11123 | The joy of mild benignity approves, Which leads him to relax the rigid claims Of mute submission? |
11123 | The problem solve for me, Why man and wife so wretchedly agree? |
11123 | The question here is, how to cure this one? |
11123 | The sire Hippodamia held as murderess, With savage rage he claim''d from her his son, And she in terror did destroy herself-- THOAS Thou''rt silent? |
11123 | The torch of life to kindle we were fain;--A fire- sea,--what a fire!--doth round us close; Love is it? |
11123 | The treasure hath he buried, pray? |
11123 | The will that nothing could withstand, Is broken here upon the sand: How from the vexing thought be safe? |
11123 | The world is weeping-- shall not we weep, too? |
11123 | Then deathless constancy thou''lt swear; Speak of one all o''ermastering passion-- Will that too issue from the heart? |
11123 | Then they sing songs about me,--''tis wicked of the throng-- An ancient ballad endeth so; Who bade them thus apply the song? |
11123 | There can reliance fail Where majesty resistless sways, And ready power makes foemen quail? |
11123 | There lies the gold, but to procure it thence, That is the art: who knoweth to commence? |
11123 | Therefore speak up for thyself; what need of the tongue of another?" |
11123 | Thereupon all were silent and smiled; but the father made answer:''Thou knowest no one, my friend, I believe, but Adam and Eve?'' |
11123 | Thereupon thou by the hand didst take me, and speak to me, saying,--''Lisa, how camest thou hither? |
11123 | These splendid gems, whose may they be? |
11123 | These tears in thine eyes, what has brought them?" |
11123 | Thine own dear hand!--But how is this? |
11123 | Think ye a maiden like her, with the manners and beauty that she has, Can into woman have grown, and no worthy man''s love have attracted? |
11123 | Think ye that love until now can have been shut out from her bosom? |
11123 | Think ye we have but to come, and that then the maiden will follow Merely because we are rich, while she is poor and an exile? |
11123 | Think ye,''tis hid from me, the race whereof ye are? |
11123 | Thinkest, on thy strength relying, That thou hast me in a strait? |
11123 | Thou dread''st to see her face once more? |
11123 | Thou know''st we are, and yet wilt thou compel me? |
11123 | Thou lingerest at the fatal door? |
11123 | Thou, When from thy being o''er a thousand hearts, A healing balsam flows? |
11123 | Thy lonely shelter on the firm- set earth Must thou abandon? |
11123 | Thy lord and master dost thou know? |
11123 | Thy love where hast thou left? |
11123 | To her it will not harmful prove? |
11123 | To rave thus like a madman, is it fit? |
11123 | To save thyself, thy brother, and a friend, One path presents itself, and canst thou ask If we shall follow it? |
11123 | Today I''m principal once more; But useless''tis, to bear the name: Where are the folk to recognize my claim? |
11123 | Unto the bard''s pregnant word Hast thou perchance never listened? |
11123 | VALENTINE(_ steps forward_) Whom are you luring here? |
11123 | VOICE Which way didst come? |
11123 | VOICE(_ from above_) What voice of woe Calls from the cavern''d depths below? |
11123 | WAGNER Why let this thought your soul o''ercast? |
11123 | WAGNER(_ alarmed_) And I? |
11123 | WANDERER Mother, say then, do I find thee, To receive my thanks once more, In my youth who didst so kindly, With thy spouse, my life restore? |
11123 | Was I all that? |
11123 | Was I not fashion''d to be a man By omnipotent Time, And by eternal Fate, Masters of me and thee? |
11123 | Was ever mortal spirit, in its high endeavor, Fathom''d by Being such as thou? |
11123 | Was it frenzy seized on me? |
11123 | Was it not given to thee and me-- thee too? |
11123 | Was it not just now thy wish that he might with lively affection Feel himself drawn to some maiden? |
11123 | Was then the youthful queen descried With varied colors in the flask-- This was our medicine; the patients died;"Who were restored?" |
11123 | Were not the names of those men who first delivered the message, Names to compare with the highest that under the heavens are spoken? |
11123 | What God would_ outwardly_ alone control, And on His finger whirl the mighty Whole? |
11123 | What ails thee? |
11123 | What avails the joy and pain? |
11123 | What boots it to be young and fair? |
11123 | What boots it to escape? |
11123 | What call we great? |
11123 | What can the world to me afford? |
11123 | What deed of shame Lurks in thy sinful heart? |
11123 | What dreams beguile you on your poet''s height? |
11123 | What from this place itself hath banned? |
11123 | What harm have I e''er done to thee? |
11123 | What has happened? |
11123 | What held those crooked shoulder- blades suspended? |
11123 | What holds me, that I deal not now Thee and thine apes a stunning blow? |
11123 | What in the gloom thus moves you? |
11123 | What is desired and chased away? |
11123 | What is upbraided and assailed? |
11123 | What light intense In these pure symbols do I see Nature exert her vital energy? |
11123 | What matters it, though witlings rail, Though one his suit''gainst witchcraft press, If his sole tingle none the less, If his sure footing also fail? |
11123 | What may this mean? |
11123 | What meanest thou with this thy Lent- address? |
11123 | What more can we desire, what more mankind? |
11123 | What now remains for me Wherewith my inborn freedom to defend? |
11123 | What ought I to forego? |
11123 | What plash, what plunge the liquid glass destroys? |
11123 | What puts a full house in a merry mood? |
11123 | What see I, sisters? |
11123 | What shall I experience next? |
11123 | What stir ye in the broth about? |
11123 | What takest thou the brute to be? |
11123 | What though my life her bosom warms!-- Do I not ever feel her woe? |
11123 | What thoughts are thine? |
11123 | What to thy throne now draweth near? |
11123 | What will be my fate today? |
11123 | What wins protection every day? |
11123 | What would he in this holy place? |
11123 | What wouldst thou here? |
11123 | What''s it all about? |
11123 | What''s the master''s pleasure? |
11123 | Whence are ye come? |
11123 | Whence cometh he?--How passed he through? |
11123 | Whence this mild radiance that around me plays, As when,''mid forest gloom, reigneth the moon''s soft light? |
11123 | Where are the fetters? |
11123 | Where art thou, Faust? |
11123 | Where art thou, Pylades? |
11123 | Where art thou? |
11123 | Where is he? |
11123 | Where is our aged sire? |
11123 | Where is the breast, which in its depths a world conceiv''d, And bore and cherished? |
11123 | Where loyal will, through reason strong, And prowess, manifold, unite, What could together join for wrong, For darkness, where such stars give light? |
11123 | Where of such malice Bursteth the tempest From this deep- lurking brood of Hell? |
11123 | Where shall I grasp thee, infinite nature, where? |
11123 | Where will these frantic gestures end? |
11123 | Where''s now the soul''s deep cry? |
11123 | Where? |
11123 | Wherefore from dripping stones and moss with ooze embued, Dost suck, like any toad, thy food? |
11123 | Wherewith my lovely girl to deck? |
11123 | While half the world we''neath our sway have brought, What have ye done? |
11123 | Who are ye then that ye the house''s stewardess Thus bay, like pack of hounds hoarsely that bay the moon? |
11123 | Who are ye then, that thus around the monarch''s house, With Maenad rage, ye dare like drunken ones to rave? |
11123 | Who are you troop in high communion met, Like an assembled family of princes? |
11123 | Who can detect the rogue at dead of night? |
11123 | Who can tell what there is shining? |
11123 | Who comes this way? |
11123 | Who does win it? |
11123 | Who every blossom in sweet spring- time flowering Along the loved one''s path would strow? |
11123 | Who hath me of thy love bereft? |
11123 | Who hath the monarch''s gloomy temper cheered? |
11123 | Who help''d me Against the Titans''insolence? |
11123 | Who helps his neighbor now? |

11123 | Who rescued me from certain death, From slavery? |
11123 | Who that can feel, His heart can steel, To say: I believe him not? |
11123 | Who then art thou? |
11123 | Who would not fall in love with you? |
11123 | Who''d take the trouble to dispute with fools? |
11123 | Who''ll teach me now? |
11123 | Who''mid his pleasures for a trifle cares? |
11123 | Who''s sneaking here? |
11123 | Who, Nature''s green familiar leaves entwining, Wreathes glory''s garland, won on every field? |
11123 | Who, beside me, the galling chains unbound, Which cramping thought had cast your spirits round? |
11123 | Whom darest thou not summon here? |
11123 | Whose name doth plaudits still command? |
11123 | Whose voice heard I resound Who toward me press''d with energy profound? |
11123 | Why art thou silent? |
11123 | Why at the threshold snuffest thou so? |
11123 | Why did I not forsee Such an emergency, and tutor thee This counsel also wisely to elude? |
11123 | Why dost thou seek our fellowship, if thou canst not go through with it? |
11123 | Why hast thou failed to shroud thyself Within the veil of sacerdotal rites? |
11123 | Why how is this? |
11123 | Why on thy neck so anxious do I feel-- When formerly a perfect heaven of bliss From thy dear looks and words would o''er me steal? |
11123 | Why ride so hard? |
11123 | Why should they prison me? |
11123 | Why should you flare away so uselessly? |
11123 | Why talk of the poetic vein? |
11123 | Why the dull ache will not depart, By which thy life- pulse is oppress''d? |
11123 | Why thus lingering stand? |
11123 | Why wilt thou plague thyself with thrashing straw? |
11123 | Why, who would seek to woo the stars Down from their glorious sphere? |
11123 | Why, women, do ye howl and wail? |
11123 | Will he force employ To drag me from the altar to his bed? |
11123 | Will it ascend into the open air? |
11123 | Will sufferings never Teach you to cease from your brawls of old between brother and brother? |
11123 | Wilt fly, and art not proof against dizziness? |
11123 | With tranquil pleasure in your deep repose A weary son of earth may lave his soul!-- What whisp''ring sounds pervade the dreary grove? |
11123 | With what desire? |
11123 | With you he''ll walk, he''ll dance with none but you, And with your pleasures what have I to do? |
11123 | Withdraw? |
11123 | Ye are prosperous and glad; how then should a pleasantry wound you? |
11123 | Ye deep- ton''d bells, do ye, with voice sublime, Announce the solemn dawn of Easter- day? |
11123 | Ye gush, and must I languish in despair? |
11123 | Yet fixed is this delusion in our heart; Who, of his own free will, therefrom would part? |
11123 | Yet wherefore must the stream, alas, so soon be dry, That we once more athirst should lie? |
11123 | Yet''twas to be expected; knew I not That with a woman I had now to deal? |
11123 | You can not have the wine- casks at the door? |
11123 | Your dying breath in slander will you spend? |
11123 | Your skin still itching for a row? |
11123 | [_ He disappears with_ FAUST;_ the fellows draw back from one another._] SIEBEL What was it? |
11123 | [_ He grasps the chains to unlock them._] MARGARET(_ on her knees_) Who, headsman, unto thee this power O''er me could give? |
11123 | [_ He springs higher up the rock._] HELENA, FAUST,_ and_ CHORUS Wouldst thou chamois- like aspire? |
11123 | [_ She gathers a star- flower and plucks off the leaves one after another._] FAUST A nosegay may that be? |
11123 | [_ She plucks off the leaves and murmurs to herself._] FAUST What murmurest thou? |
11123 | [_ The husband steps forth._] Thou Philemon, strength who plying, Snatched my treasure from the wave? |
11123 | [_ They pass on._] FAUST Me, little angel, didst thou recognize, When in the garden first I came? |
11123 | [_ They pass on._] MARTHA Thus, sir, unceasing travel is your lot? |
11123 | [_ They stand amazed and gale at one another._] ALTMAYER Where am I? |
11123 | a pact may then be made, The which you gentlemen will surely keep? |
11123 | ah here what seekest thou? |
11123 | and am I? |
11123 | and art thou really he? |
11123 | and is he still alive? |
11123 | and pray what loving pair Have in your smoke- hole their abode? |
11123 | and these idle tears, say, what mean they? |
11123 | and why? |
11123 | and, embark''d once more, At random drift upon tumultuous waves, A stranger to thyself and to the world? |
11123 | are they fled? |
11123 | art enraptured or distressed? |
11123 | but Agamemnon''s daughter; While yet unknown, thou didst respect my words A princess now,--and think''st thou to command me? |
11123 | can that my mother be? |
11123 | did you rightly catch the words? |
11123 | do I find thee weeping, my son?" |
11123 | dost demand from me? |
11123 | doth the monarch purpose what no man Of noble mind, who loves his honest name, Whose bosom reverence for the gods restrains, Would ever think of? |
11123 | goes the fellow on a halting foot? |
11123 | may I request your light? |
11123 | must I deem That thus the throng of spirits disappear? |
11123 | not a ring? |
11123 | or may I hope to know Who, like a heavenly vision, meets me thus? |
11123 | or raise my voice? |
11123 | shall I henceforth be The dread and phantom- shape of those town- wasting ones? |
11123 | shall the bard his godlike power abuse? |
11123 | she calls!--Dost thou desire my doom? |
11123 | thou hast hands and feet, And head and heart are also thine; What I enjoy with relish sweet-- Is it on that account less mine? |
11123 | thus nature protects, the stout- hearted Germans protect us, And thus protects us the Lord, who then will be weakly despondent? |
11123 | unless my sight deceives? |
11123 | what can this mean? |
11123 | what chafes thee now so sore? |
11123 | what dost thou require? |
11123 | what drives thee here, to be sitting Under the pear- tree alone? |
11123 | what hast thou done? |
11123 | what liquor will you take? |
11123 | what makes thy heart so sore? |
11123 | what mischief hath it done? |
11123 | what rattles at the door? |
11123 | what sorrow hath befallen thee?" |
11123 | where the dungeon''s gloom? |
11123 | where''s now the torturing pain? |
11123 | wherefore art thou here? |
11123 | wherefore thus confus''d? |
11123 | which, with ecstasy, To rank itself with us, the spirits, heaved? |
11123 | who shall be able to tell them? |
11123 | who''s sneaking here? |
11123 | why presume my fate like his? |
11123 | with joy and pain, In alternation vast, that round us glows? |
11123 | with the devil hand and glove, And yet shrink back afraid of fire? |
11123 | without? |
46883 | A higher one? |
46883 | After dinner, and for nothing? |
46883 | After the woman you love? |
46883 | Ah,sighed the king, after an interval of silence,"why is the human heart so weak? |
46883 | Am I really cold and reserved? |
46883 | Am I really old? 46883 Am I really so changed?" |
46883 | Am I that? |
46883 | An error? |
46883 | And Caroline, does she love him? |
46883 | And all this means,said she, sobbing,"that you intend to drive me from your side, to banish me? |
46883 | And are you not a heroine, Marie, a victorious heroine? |
46883 | And are you permitted to acquaint me with the object of this great work, my friend? |
46883 | And by what token will I know that such is the case? |
46883 | And do you really give him the signal, my lady? |
46883 | And from whence should such a storm come, my dear friend, beloved sister of my soul? 46883 And has Charlotte, has this poor child, at last recovered from her unhappy love? |
46883 | And her three conditions? |
46883 | And how could there be? |
46883 | And if I had,asked Frederick William, smiling,"what would you do to prevent it?" |
46883 | And in this manner you receive your friend, Wolf? 46883 And in what does your ideal consist, if I may ask the question?" |
46883 | And in what manner shall I assist you, my dear philosopher? |
46883 | And may I ask in what the signal consists that announces to the man- fearing poet that other mortals have approached his goddess? |
46883 | And that is--? |
46883 | And that will be my dear mamma''s place, too? |
46883 | And the Councillor Wöllner? |
46883 | And the king? |
46883 | And there was no one there to order the bold eavesdropper to leave? |
46883 | And what do you desire of me, worthy guardian of the worthy city of Mannheim? |
46883 | And what effect would your remaining here have, Alexander? |
46883 | And what reply did you make to this proposition? |
46883 | And what were they? 46883 And what will you do, my poor friend?" |
46883 | And which of these flowers do you most admire? |
46883 | And who said that you should? 46883 And who should not hate her?" |
46883 | And whom have I poisoned? |
46883 | And why is he not coming? |
46883 | And why not, if I may be permitted to ask? |
46883 | And why not? |
46883 | And why should you be happy? |
46883 | And why these questions, my dearest? 46883 And why, Charlotte, why should we do so? |
46883 | And why, Schiller? |
46883 | And why, pray? 46883 And will you soon do so?" |
46883 | And yet you go, Frederick? |
46883 | And you did so, I hope? |
46883 | And you were near the door of the maid of honor''s chamber? |
46883 | And you will now leave Berlin, I suppose? |
46883 | And you would like to die such a death, my son? |
46883 | And you, my dearest? |
46883 | And you, my friend, what do you aspire to? |
46883 | And your husband? |
46883 | Andrew, you bought this hat for yourself to- day? |
46883 | Are the lines you have just uttered your own? |
46883 | Are you not truly and wholly mine? 46883 Are you of that opinion, beautiful Leonora?" |
46883 | At the next midnight hour? |
46883 | At what hour did the king die? |
46883 | But I may look at that young man who is stealing out from behind the evergreen- hedge, may I not? |
46883 | But did you not tell her that I must necessarily have them? |
46883 | But if I should tell her something in your presence that would make her feel sad? |
46883 | But if he is not there? |
46883 | But nothing unpleasant, I hope, papa? |
46883 | But promise me, at least, Fritz, that you will breakfast before you go to work? |
46883 | But what have you done with your hat, Fritz? 46883 But what is the matter with you, my friend? |
46883 | But what is to come of this, you fool? |
46883 | But what must I do before I am permitted to enter? |
46883 | But where are the proofs? 46883 But who can feel and think as you do?" |
46883 | But why should I believe any thing of the kind, Marie? |
46883 | But yet you would like to know what this mystery is, would you not? |
46883 | But your heart, sire? |
46883 | But, Frederick,said Streicher, in a tender, imploring voice,"why impose upon yourself and us the penance of reading these hard words? |
46883 | But, Julie,said her brother, angrily,"what does this childishness mean-- what is the matter? |
46883 | But, Lisette,rejoined her ladyship, angrily,"what nonsense is this? |
46883 | But, cousin, how can you speak so disparagingly of yourself, and so far forget your dignity as a prince? |
46883 | But, signora,he asked, in alarm,"how can I have affronted your daughter?" |
46883 | But, speak out, growler, monster,cried Goethe, impatiently,"what northern spleen has again penetrated your northern heart? |
46883 | By the memory of your father and mother? |
46883 | Can she be right? |
46883 | Can this be possible, Wolf? |
46883 | Certainly I do,said she;"and why should I not? |
46883 | Certainly, why should you not ask? 46883 Charlotte, dear Charlotte, is it possible that so great a change has come over you in two short years?" |
46883 | Charlotte, will you then be nothing more to me than an intimate acquaintance? |
46883 | Charlotte,said he, gently,"how can you thank me for doing what is as gratifying to me as to yourself?" |
46883 | Christiane,murmured he,"Christiane, will you be my wife?" |
46883 | Conduct the prince to the concert- hall,said the king,"I will join him there directly.--And Lieutenant- Colonel Bischofswerder?" |
46883 | Count Alexander von der Mark? |
46883 | Countess Ingenheim was ill. Is she worse? |
46883 | Did his majesty commission you to utter all these impertinences? |
46883 | Did the circle- director show you the symbol of the brotherhood? |
46883 | Did you have pity on me? |
46883 | Did you hear nothing, Trude? |
46883 | Did you not recognize him? |
46883 | Did you not say that you would apply to your father, Major Schiller? |
46883 | Did you weigh your words? 46883 Die like Cosmo de Medici, in the midst of the tears and blessings of his people?" |
46883 | Do you believe that my beautiful speech would influence you and promote my brother''s interests? 46883 Do you call the plans we have both made for our future, romantic air- castles?" |
46883 | Do you know the sign by which the master of the order, the grand kophta is recognized? |
46883 | Do you know this Frederick Schiller, of whom you speak with such admiration? |
46883 | Do you know what her ladyship is now doing? |
46883 | Do you mean to say that Amarilla is writing a love- letter with her flowers? |
46883 | Do you no longer find peace and tranquillity with me, Frederick? 46883 Do you not consider it possible that you will send me into exile? |
46883 | Do you really believe so, Trude? |
46883 | Do you really intend to have the letters, written by you to me, read and copied by a third person? |
46883 | Do you, then, really believe me to be so disinterested, signora? |
46883 | Do you, then, really consider it possible that he may come to- day? |
46883 | Does not Miss Marie permit you to visit her in the evening? |
46883 | Does she really believe that I shall recover, or is she only trying to make me believe so? 46883 Emotions of the heart, Schiller?" |
46883 | Envy him, and why? |
46883 | False, is it? |
46883 | For God''s sake, my lady, what are you doing? 46883 For me, mamma? |
46883 | Frederick, why repeat what is already burning in your head and heart? |
46883 | Frederick, you have nothing to say to me? |
46883 | Has your mistress then done so well that she is on the point of retiring from business? |
46883 | Have I been guilty of an impropriety? |
46883 | Have I ever known him? 46883 Have I really a heart that only seizes upon an object to relax its hold again? |
46883 | Have I sinned, signora? |
46883 | Have I then lived, and is it for this reason that--she shuddered and interrupted herself:"Go on, my friend-- what happened further?" |
46883 | Have our guests arrived? 46883 Have we come to that pass again? |
46883 | Have you any wish, my dear Mr. Schiller, that I can perhaps gratify? 46883 Have you been listening, my friends? |
46883 | Have you seen the king? 46883 Have you spoken with him, Frederick? |
46883 | He is then dead? |
46883 | He is then really coming? 46883 He would n''t let you have any?" |
46883 | Honestly and sincerely? |
46883 | How can I do that? |
46883 | How can he fly to whom the Almighty, the Omnipresent, has not given the pinions of enthusiasm? 46883 How can you ask, Schiller? |
46883 | How can you explain the cat''s rapturous devotion? |
46883 | How can you say that you are the innocent cause of the pain which you inflicted on me? 46883 How can you speak so, Matteo? |
46883 | How could it be possible not to love in such a manner, when one loved Frederick the Great? |
46883 | How dare you speak so disrespectfully of your king? |
46883 | How do you know this? |
46883 | How so, signora? |
46883 | How so,--impertinences? |
46883 | How? 46883 How? |
46883 | I a stiff old fellow? 46883 I ask you, did you have pity on me? |
46883 | I beg you not to attempt to find me out, or to learn who I am? 46883 I take the liberty to remark, that I have other commissions to execute for his majesty, and therefore I ask whether you will soon call me?" |
46883 | I would rather read it from your lips than from the paper? |
46883 | I, your wife, my good friend? 46883 I-- with you? |
46883 | If Schiller really loves me, and offers me his hand, why shall I not accept it? 46883 In Rome?" |
46883 | In all earnestness? |
46883 | In my claims to the succession in the Margraviate Schwedt? |
46883 | Is Fortuna so bad a goddess? |
46883 | Is Signora Angelica ill? |
46883 | Is he here, the great grand- kophta? |
46883 | Is it possible? 46883 Is it then inevitable? |
46883 | Is it then true, am I destined only to suffer and to be deceived? 46883 Is not that a surprise?" |
46883 | Is the carriage in readiness? |
46883 | Is your professor so severe? |
46883 | It was, then, a sacrifice? |
46883 | It will not do to leave the earth to- day, will it, Caroline? 46883 May I open it, Schiller?" |
46883 | Mr. Leonhard, do you mean to say that her ladyship is diluting the wine with water? |
46883 | My commissions? 46883 My dear,"said he, gently,"as you have asked me no question, what can I answer? |
46883 | My heart cold? |
46883 | My reasons? 46883 Myself? |
46883 | No, Charlotte, I do not reproach you, and how could I? 46883 No, how could I forget your goodness, your generosity, and friendship? |
46883 | Now you will remain, Wilhelmine? 46883 Of what young man are you speaking?" |
46883 | Oh, Charlotte,exclaimed Schiller, joyfully,"is it true, are you in earnest? |
46883 | Oh, Frederick,she murmured,"do you not know that I love you, and you only?" |
46883 | Oh, Frederick,she sobbed,"was this thy parting kiss?" |
46883 | Oh, Schiller, dear Schiller, can you forgive me? 46883 Oh, my dear son Alexander, why are you not my successor? |
46883 | Oh, sire, it is to be hoped that you will still have years to devote to the happiness of your people, and--"Do you suppose I desire it? |
46883 | Oh,exclaimed the maid of honor, in astonishment and indignation,"how can it be possible to love in such a manner?" |
46883 | Perhaps it was only on this account that you visited me? |
46883 | Pray tell us, why is it this councillor only comes when you are alone, and is certain of meeting no company here? |
46883 | Pray, why did you accept the order? |
46883 | Pretexts? |
46883 | Rietz, at what time did I call you last night, when I was awakened by some fearful anxiety? |
46883 | Schiller, you do not contemplate leaving us? |
46883 | Schiller,she cried, almost frantic, tears streaming from her eyes,"Schiller, will you have no pity on me?" |
46883 | Shall I state the question? |
46883 | Shall I tell you, honestly and openly? |
46883 | She is then ready to receive me? |
46883 | She will always be where we are? |
46883 | Speak, what charges can you prefer against Marie von Arnim? 46883 The Count and Countess von der Mark?" |
46883 | The favorites stand where the golden shower falls, and you do not desire that we should do likewise, I hope? 46883 The king intends to work in the laboratory? |
46883 | The valet of my nephew? |
46883 | Then she has not paid you for your services? |
46883 | Then you begin to understand that the phrase''after dinner, and for nothing,''is very beautiful and appropriate? |
46883 | Then you believe the chief aim of a great man, of a prince, should always be to make his people happy? |
46883 | Then you did not return gladly, Wolf? 46883 Then you have not succeeded in getting the money together?" |
46883 | Then you love me, Wolf? 46883 Then you really consider it possible, my friend? |
46883 | Therefore, if no light should burn in the window, he would come this evening? |
46883 | To go where? 46883 To the widowed queen only, your majesty? |
46883 | Trude, who was it I heard speaking in the other room, who spoke in such loud tones? |
46883 | Was it necessary, mamma? |
46883 | We will carry out our intention of driving to Rudolstadt to- morrow, will we not, my friend? 46883 Well,"said the king in a low voice,"what does your sister say?" |
46883 | What alarmed you so suddenly? |
46883 | What am I to do now? 46883 What brings you here, sir? |
46883 | What brought you to this strange and ridiculous idea? |
46883 | What can I do? 46883 What course have they pursued with you? |
46883 | What do I care for this pack of courtiers, this court- marshal Von Kalb and his associates? |
46883 | What do I mean? |
46883 | What do you know of him? |
46883 | What do you mean, Signora Abazza? |
46883 | What do you mean? |
46883 | What do you mean? |
46883 | What do you say, my friend? 46883 What do you wish, mamma?" |
46883 | What does it concern her? |
46883 | What does it concern your friend whether this Mr. Matteo has grown rich, and can now marry or not? |
46883 | What does the light behind my windows concern you, a watchman and a guardian of the streets? |
46883 | What does this document contain? |
46883 | What does this murmuring mean, Charlotte? |
46883 | What does this mystery-- what do these sly glances mean? |
46883 | What impropriety have I committed? |
46883 | What is going on here, who uttered that cry? |
46883 | What is it, then, that you wish? |
46883 | What is it? 46883 What is it?" |
46883 | What is it? |
46883 | What is it? |
46883 | What is the matter with you, Leonora? |
46883 | What is there surprising in your coming? 46883 What is this request, my dear privy councillor of the finances?" |
46883 | What is your name, my dear girl? |
46883 | What message? |
46883 | What obstacle, Frederick? 46883 What proofs do you demand?" |
46883 | What right have you to happiness above the rest of mankind? 46883 What wrong have I done him? |
46883 | What''s the matter? 46883 Where are the children?" |
46883 | Where are the king''s decorations? |
46883 | Where are you going, sir? |
46883 | Where do you lie concealed? 46883 Where in the world do you come from, Fritz? |
46883 | Where is your love for this beautiful child to lead you? |
46883 | Where shall I lead, my exalted master? |
46883 | Who are they? 46883 Who can have written to me?" |
46883 | Who can that be? |
46883 | Who does not know the greatest and most celebrated of Germany''s poets? |
46883 | Who gave you the right to die? |
46883 | Who has dared to wound the heart of this fair girl? |
46883 | Who is he? 46883 Who is that?" |
46883 | Who is that? |
46883 | Who is this Count Kunheim? |
46883 | Who knocks? |
46883 | Who thinks of sending these children into exile? |
46883 | Who was this Cosmo de Medici? |
46883 | Who? 46883 Whom does your highness mean?" |
46883 | Why are you weeping? |
46883 | Why awaken these remembrances, Charlotte? 46883 Why do you allow me to accuse you both of a falsehood, without even attempting to justify yourselves?" |
46883 | Why do you believe that? |
46883 | Why do you call me your dearest friend? |
46883 | Why do you not remain here? |
46883 | Why do you not reply? |
46883 | Why go that way? |
46883 | Why impossible? 46883 Why impossible?" |
46883 | Why is it that you can not, my fair child? 46883 Why must it have been an immortal woman, Angelica?" |
46883 | Why must you throw yourself at my feet, and why this penitence? 46883 Why not?" |
46883 | Why should I remember it? |
46883 | Why so? |
46883 | Why so? |
46883 | Why these painful words? 46883 Why through the hall, when we can go through the door in the wall into the little passage that leads to the secret staircase?" |
46883 | Why turn the knife once more in the wound, and tell you that your noble, generous love is not appreciated, not honored? 46883 Why, my dear young lady?" |
46883 | Why? 46883 Why?" |
46883 | Why? |
46883 | Wilhelmine,said the king, in a hollow voice,"you will not make this sacrifice? |
46883 | Will he come if no light is burning for him? |
46883 | Will you return to Stuttgart, where the hard- hearted creditor awaits you? |
46883 | Will your majesty pass the night in Charlottenburg? |
46883 | Will your majesty permit us to go to the laboratory in order to make our preparations? |
46883 | Wolf, did you visit me solely because you expected to meet me in the ducal palace to- day? |
46883 | Would one hundred dollars be sufficient? |
46883 | Yes, and I will now read this Infanta, that is, if you wish to hear it, Charlotte? |
46883 | You are a Catholic? |
46883 | You are delighted, too, are you not, Mariane? |
46883 | You are in earnest, Rietz? 46883 You are right,"said Rietz, smiling,"to whom should he flee, in his hour of grief, but to his first sultana? |
46883 | You are then about to take your departure? 46883 You hate her, then, this Wilhelmine Rietz?" |
46883 | You have come for my letter, have you not, my child? 46883 You have nothing to say to my mamma that will make her sad?" |
46883 | You have really determined to attempt to invoke the Invisible? |
46883 | You love me, Schiller, do you not? |
46883 | You love your mamma very much, I suppose? |
46883 | You regret that I have returned? 46883 You say you would give every thing to be able to read these papers? |
46883 | You send me away, Charlotte? |
46883 | You still ask, Charlotte; have I not just told you? |
46883 | You told him that? |
46883 | You turn from me, Wolf,said she, in tender tones,"you do not reply?" |
46883 | You were near? 46883 You were with the king when he died, were you not, my dear Sello?" |
46883 | You will narrate my history to your friends? |
46883 | You will not read them? |
46883 | You will tell him? |
46883 | You, too? |
46883 | Your majesty, will you not dismiss the messenger? |
46883 | Your sincere opinion? |
46883 | Your successor? 46883 [ 41]"Would you like to be able to read in these books of the world, Leonora?" |
46883 | [ 55]Then we are no longer to endeavor to live together in happiness, but only in an observance of consideration toward each other?" |
46883 | [ 57]With studied caprice?" |
46883 | --_Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.__ FALSE COIN OR TRUE?_$ 1.25. |
46883 | Already another passion besides the beautiful Margaret Schwan and the little Charlotte von Wolzogen?" |
46883 | Am I accurate?" |
46883 | Am I still your pet, your singing- bird, your little love, your fragrant violet?" |
46883 | Am I to be your second here in Berlin, as I was on three occasions in Naples?" |
46883 | Am I to go down?" |
46883 | And I may tell-- I may tell his majesty that you welcome his visit joyfully?" |
46883 | And do you know what my purpose is?" |
46883 | And how could I now desert the dear mamma, who never deserted me?" |
46883 | And now tell me, my dear friend, what brings you here at this unusual hour? |
46883 | And the only question is, by whom? |
46883 | And what is his reply? |
46883 | And why not? |
46883 | And why not?" |
46883 | And why? |
46883 | And why? |
46883 | And, though the two had remained, though hundreds and hundreds of eyes had been fastened on them inquiringly, what would they have cared? |
46883 | Are not those rules changeable and fleeting? |
46883 | Are not you, too, ambitious, Andrew?" |
46883 | Are the waves murmuring my death- song? |
46883 | Are we not allies, and have we not sworn to assist each other at all times and everywhere? |
46883 | Are you now contented, Wilhelmine? |
46883 | Are you only jesting, or has your sojourn in Rome really made you the stiff and courtly old fellow you appear to be?" |
46883 | Are you ready to hear it?" |
46883 | Are you satisfied? |
46883 | Are you willing to go there and be introduced to him?" |
46883 | Are your feelings toward me unchanged?" |
46883 | Are your windows provided with shutters?" |
46883 | At what fable did you chance to open it?" |
46883 | Because he is not wealthy? |
46883 | Believe me, I give you this advice in all honesty and sincerity, and why should I not? |
46883 | But I ask the poet, whether these are also the words of the man Frederick Schiller? |
46883 | But can you not comprehend, my friend, why your arrival could have a terrible effect on me-- could bring me to the verge of despair?" |
46883 | But have I ever been so toward my friends, and, above all, toward you?" |
46883 | But in love with whom, my poet, with one or with two? |
46883 | But in what do the punishments he inflicts consist?" |
46883 | But it was not to hear this you came to see me?" |
46883 | But ought I, the married woman, the wife of an unloved and unloving husband, ought I to know love? |
46883 | But shall we, because we are needy, make ourselves poor also? |
46883 | But suddenly a face seemed to arise in their midst-- a face of deathly pallor? |
46883 | But these shutters-- shall I order them to be closed?" |
46883 | But to what end? |
46883 | But what can I do? |
46883 | But what of that? |
46883 | But who are the_ friends_ who believe in this fable, and who have commissioned you to relate it to me? |
46883 | But who told you that the daughter would accept him; that Marie was a party to this disgraceful intrigue?" |
46883 | But, where were his recommendations? |
46883 | Can he compensate me for my sacrifices? |
46883 | Can it be you?" |
46883 | Can you not comprehend the deep sadness that fills my heart when I think of Italy?" |
46883 | Charlotte, have you not long since known and divined that I loved you, and you only?" |
46883 | Could there be any connection between this and the songs of praise which Madame von Kalb wrote me concerning you?" |
46883 | Could this lovely child also have been ensnared by the shower of gold?" |
46883 | Councillor Wöllner, has the Invisible announced nothing to you? |
46883 | Did I come to Rome for any such purpose? |
46883 | Did I not send you my watchman as a love- messenger? |
46883 | Did he not love Charlotte von Kästner? |
46883 | Did his ardent gaze, or his glowing thoughts, exercise a magical influence over her? |
46883 | Did it never occur to you, while engaged in your shrewd calculation, that you were preparing to give me a wound for which there is no cure? |
46883 | Did it not become a great favorite with the people, notwithstanding their resistance to its introduction in the beginning? |
46883 | Did not Von Einsiedel, who called on you this evening, leave again when the servant told him that I was with you? |
46883 | Did not the king love him, and, still better, did not the king love his wife, the soi- disant Madame Rietz? |
46883 | Did the hymn to love, just uttered by the poet''s lips, also resound in the heart of the man, and was it addressed to me?" |
46883 | Did you hear the utterances of the blessed spirits?" |
46883 | Did you leave it with the maid as a souvenir?" |
46883 | Do they accuse me of being a poisoner?" |
46883 | Do they no longer call our souls together, that they may impart light and warmth to each other like two rays of sunshine?" |
46883 | Do you bear this in mind?" |
46883 | Do you believe the king will visit you at a time when his wife of the left hand has but just breathed her last?" |
46883 | Do you desire this?" |
46883 | Do you know Goethe?" |
46883 | Do you know who were in that carriage? |
46883 | Do you know, my queen, what is essential to the realization of my ideal? |
46883 | Do you know, or have you the slightest conception of, what the subject of this conference will be?" |
46883 | Do you love me? |
46883 | Do you not consider this a fine summer day?" |
46883 | Do you not feel that my hands will destroy you if you do not go, and go instantly?" |
46883 | Do you not know who I am, Frederick William?" |
46883 | Do you not see that I am filled with the holy wrath of outraged humanity? |
46883 | Do you not see that an abyss lies between us?" |
46883 | Do you remember what she told you on her deathbed?" |
46883 | Do you still think of me lovingly?" |
46883 | Do you suppose I am happy? |
46883 | Does Charlotte no longer sympathize with me in my sorrows, as in my joys? |
46883 | Does her heart forebode the poet''s coming? |
46883 | Does love, with all its happiness and bliss, then really lie only behind us, and no longer before us? |
46883 | Does not God, does not the whole world know that we are one and inseparable? |
46883 | Does not society respect and treat our relation to each other with consideration for both of us? |
46883 | Does she not look like the goddess of love with the flowers of love in her hair?" |
46883 | Does the secret sympathy which links souls together, whisper:"Charlotte von Kalb, Frederick Schiller approaches?" |
46883 | Fate sent you to me; moments of the purest delight were vouchsafed us; and is the cup of happiness to be dashed from our lips now?" |
46883 | For a moment the window was darkened by a shadow, and then opened, and a hoarse voice demanded,"Who called? |
46883 | For, of course, you will receive him? |
46883 | For, where lies the possibility of stemming the onward tide impelled by such productions-- such strange combinations of genuine worth and wild form? |
46883 | From whence am I to derive faith, hope, and confidence, now that you, whom I loved, have deceived me? |
46883 | From whom could I have otherwise learned all this? |
46883 | Go, my friends, I will dress myself, and then--""But will you not permit us to accompany you to the house?" |
46883 | Had a storm suddenly arisen? |
46883 | Had it suddenly grown so dark? |
46883 | Had not Schiller a Charlotte, as well as Goethe? |
46883 | Had not the king succeeded in introducing the silkworm into his dominions? |
46883 | Had not the manufacture of woollen goods been greatly promoted by the adoption of a better system of raising sheep? |
46883 | Had this all really happened, or had Jean only been dreaming? |
46883 | Has he spoken with you?" |
46883 | Have I ever expressed any longing to be married?" |
46883 | Have I ever loved, and is my heart so fickle that it can hold fast to nothing?" |
46883 | Have I not sworn that I will yet become either a countess, a duchess, or, perhaps, even a princess? |
46883 | Have the bleeding wounds of her young heart at last been healed?" |
46883 | Have they ceased to ring the festive bells of our union of hearts? |
46883 | Have they not the God- given capital of mind and poetry intrusted to them, that it may bear interest in their works? |
46883 | Have you found it?" |
46883 | Have you honestly and openly told him of our wishes, and have you entreated him to fulfil them?" |
46883 | Have you not yet read his''Don Carlos?''" |
46883 | Have you received bad news?" |
46883 | Have you seen her already, Wolf?" |
46883 | He approaches?" |
46883 | He was right, was he not?" |
46883 | How can confidence and sincerity prosper when you drive me from your side with studied caprice? |
46883 | How can we work, how can we write poetry, without enthusiasm, without joy? |
46883 | How can you justify this intrusion? |
46883 | How can you so debase yourself? |
46883 | How can your prayers and entreaties have sufficient power to call the magician here from so great a distance? |
46883 | How could I have survived these two long, terrible years, if you had not stood at my side like a mother? |
46883 | How could he weep, he who was so weary and sick of life? |
46883 | How dare you call me a miserable old woman, how dare you compare me with a mole? |
46883 | How dare you make yourself merry over my northern heart? |
46883 | How did he look when he came here yesterday? |
46883 | How did you become acquainted with the Von Lengefeld family?" |
46883 | How much will enable you to prepare yourself for your future career?" |
46883 | How so, Charlotte?" |
46883 | How so, your successor?" |
46883 | I a courtly old fellow?" |
46883 | I am a man; who is more so?" |
46883 | I am right in supposing that the young lady wishes me to write a poem in honor of her approaching nuptials with Count Kunheim, am I not? |
46883 | I am to be compelled to yield to a rival?" |
46883 | I ask you in all earnestness, Will you be my wife?" |
46883 | I desire to do everything to contribute to your happiness?" |
46883 | I now repent, beg for mercy, and am ready to yield obedience to my superiors.--They have then spoken to you again, these superior beings? |
46883 | I see you at my side as my teacher, instructing me, and endeavoring to cultivate my mind.--Frederick, do you remember the Italian lessons you gave me? |
46883 | I, however, am rich, for I have dear friends--""And have, perhaps, besides friends, the precious treasure of a sweetheart? |
46883 | I-- why are your hands so cold, Charlotte, and why have you given me no word of welcome?" |
46883 | In what can the instructor of the prince royal have offended-- the instructor appointed by Frederick the Great? |
46883 | In what tones will the Æolian harp of the soul respond? |
46883 | In what will your second act of vengeance consist?" |
46883 | Is he likely to come this evening?" |
46883 | Is it Marie? |
46883 | Is it from your father?" |
46883 | Is it not so, Schiller?" |
46883 | Is it not so? |
46883 | Is it not so?" |
46883 | Is it not your opinion, also, that friendship is the highest power of love?" |
46883 | Is it possible that she can have uttered so unworthy a suspicion?" |
46883 | Is it possible that your heart could be forgetful of and untrue to the past? |
46883 | Is it something extraordinary?" |
46883 | Is it surprising that your body should be worn out after seventy years? |
46883 | Is it the poet composing an inscription for the gravestone of his love? |
46883 | Is man born only to suffer, and are those right who assert that life is only a vale of sorrow, and not worth enduring?" |
46883 | Is not Goethe himself an example of this? |
46883 | Is not our union indissoluble? |
46883 | Is not this enough to make me happy, although hard work, poor fare, and much abuse, await me at home?" |
46883 | Is not your lover coming back after a separation of two years? |
46883 | Is the handsome Leuchsenring no longer the favorite of the ladies, and consequently of the muses also? |
46883 | Is the unhappiness of old age really depicted in my countenance, while the spirit of youth and love is at the same time burning in my heart?" |
46883 | Is this agreed upon?" |
46883 | Is this name so remarkable, so unheard of?" |
46883 | It has already been placed there, has it not?" |
46883 | It is no misfortune that you have to announce?" |
46883 | It seems that you have carefully concealed the fact that you were my affianced, and about to become my bride?" |
46883 | It was necessary to prevent this, but how could it be done? |
46883 | Leonhard?" |
46883 | Let me kiss this merciful hand!--You will not permit me, you withdraw it? |
46883 | Life has not been a bed of roses for me, why should I make it pleasant for others? |
46883 | Madame, will you form an offensive and defensive alliance with me? |
46883 | Marie, whom do you suppose I met on my return from the churchyard? |
46883 | May I have the honor of announcing you?" |
46883 | May I make you acquainted with each other? |
46883 | Mon prince, voulez- vous avoir la bonté de me donner votre bras? |
46883 | Moreover, you told me that you had no friends or acquaintances in Dresden?" |
46883 | My dear friends, why not make this ascension to- day?" |
46883 | My friend, my beloved, is nothing sacred? |
46883 | Now you will not go?" |
46883 | Now, as I have had the misfortune to break these four bottles, how would it do to fall back on the original three bottles of strong wine? |
46883 | Of what nature is this relation? |
46883 | Of whom do you speak? |
46883 | Of whom was she dreaming? |
46883 | Of whom was she thinking? |
46883 | Oh, Charlotte, Charlotte, why have you done this?" |
46883 | Oh, Frederick Schiller, what is to become of you-- what can you do with this unreal enthusiasm burning in your soul?" |
46883 | Oh, ye Muses and Graces, whom I invoked, were you near me, blessing my labors? |
46883 | Or have we again some detestable rival, who dares to contend with you for a fair maid''s favor? |
46883 | Or would you leave your friends like a thief in the night, without a word of greeting?" |
46883 | Schiller, why are you leaving Mannheim? |
46883 | Schiller, you heard a carriage drive up to our door a few moments since? |
46883 | Shall I accept?" |
46883 | Shall I now experience through you the dreadful reality of what you then explained in the poem? |
46883 | Shall I shudder at the aspect of the future, and only live on that which is past and gone? |
46883 | Shall we, because we have no money, have no friendship either?" |
46883 | She is in this room, is she not?" |
46883 | She only asked herself this: What had she done to cause Signore Goethe to avoid her so studiously? |
46883 | Sir, what do you ask for your good advice?" |
46883 | Speak my brother, tell me, how can I aid you? |
46883 | Speak-- what did the king say, and what did she reply?" |
46883 | Such is the case, is it not?" |
46883 | Tell me that you love me? |
46883 | Tell me whether you are a Rosicrucian, that is, a Jesuit, or whether you have remained a faithful brother of our society? |
46883 | Tell me, Frederick, can it be true, can it be possible? |
46883 | Tell me, Frederick, is your heart really mine? |
46883 | Tell me, Lolo, what does all this mean?" |
46883 | Tell me, Wolf, what reproaches have I ever made that were not fully warranted by your changed manner and coldness?" |
46883 | Tell me, by what means are these poor, enslaved nations to break their fetters and make freemen of themselves?" |
46883 | Tell me, my friend, which muse or which goddess was it that kissed you?" |
46883 | Tell me, sublime spirit, are you not the spirit of that noble prince, of Philip the Magnanimous?" |
46883 | Tell me, what were your plans before your father''s death?" |
46883 | That I must know; and I am only here for the purpose of putting this one question: Schiller, have you forgotten your friends in Bauerbach? |
46883 | That is the question you intended to ask, is it not?" |
46883 | The Pharisees and Rosicrucians, or-- may I pronounce the word, my enchantress?" |
46883 | The countess complained of heat and thirst, did she not?" |
46883 | The courier is waiting?" |
46883 | The friends who had wandered with him through these avenues, where were they? |
46883 | Then he is not coming alone?" |
46883 | They have imparted to you their wishes?" |
46883 | This is a charming riddle, is it not? |
46883 | This is not one of your jokes? |
46883 | This is the case, is it not? |
46883 | This was not the name of the director in Leipsic; and what did these four signatures in different handwritings mean? |
46883 | To no one else?" |
46883 | To whom should he flee in his hour of grief but to me?" |
46883 | Truly, I came running here like a lover to a rendezvous with his adored, and now you receive me with a cold greeting?" |
46883 | Upon whose rights does it trespass? |
46883 | Was it not a suitor, who slipped out at the door when I entered?" |
46883 | Was it not understood that you were not to exchange a single letter during this period?" |
46883 | Was not_ he_ near? |
46883 | Was that really Marie? |
46883 | Was the spirit of her age wanting in her? |
46883 | We have it and will hold it fast; nothing on earth shall tear it from us?" |
46883 | Well, have I guessed right? |
46883 | Were potatoes less nutritious, because the peasants of Silesia were driven into the field by armed soldiers, and compelled to plant this vegetable? |
46883 | What are you afraid of?" |
46883 | What can I do?" |
46883 | What cared he for outward appearances-- he who occupied himself exclusively with the mind? |
46883 | What cared he, the genial duke, although his boots and Prussian uniform should become somewhat soiled in wading across to the little island? |
46883 | What could I give her in return after she had relinquished all these blessings? |
46883 | What could I have heard?" |
46883 | What could it be that the duke offered him, an appointment or a retreat? |
46883 | What could the duke''s words mean? |
46883 | What did Cleopatra determine to do, rather than grace the triumph of her faithless lover and her hated rival, and pass under the yoke? |
46883 | What did Satan say to Christ when he had led Him up a mountain and showed Him the world at His feet? |
46883 | What did the king reply?" |
46883 | What did the king say? |
46883 | What do these lamentations signify? |
46883 | What do you say to this news, my child?" |
46883 | What do you think of my work?" |
46883 | What do you think of the title,''serving brother of the outer temple halls?''" |
46883 | What does your ladyship think of this plan?" |
46883 | What guaranties had he to offer? |
46883 | What harm can the Rosicrucians do him?" |
46883 | What has the future in store for her? |
46883 | What has the poet to do with such matters, and why should you waste your precious time? |
46883 | What have I done?" |
46883 | What imps have taken up their abode in your brain? |
46883 | What is it that oppresses you? |
46883 | What is it you will do?" |
46883 | What is the matter this time?" |
46883 | What is there, that is glorious and beautiful, which parental love does not hope for, and prophesy for the darling son? |
46883 | What is to become of unhappy Prussia, when the great king no longer reigns; what can it be without his wisdom and strength, and his enlightened mind?" |
46883 | What matter, if poets are beggars on earth-- if they are not possessed of riches? |
46883 | What message does the baron bring?" |
46883 | What messages did he entrust to you?" |
46883 | What need had she of written evidences? |
46883 | What reply will the poet make to the question propounded by the man? |
46883 | What then? |
46883 | What token of esteem would Charles August give him? |
46883 | What was it you said about poisoning? |
46883 | What will you give me if I teach you how to do so?" |
46883 | What will you have?" |
46883 | What would have become of me without you? |
46883 | What would the world say?" |
46883 | When did you say it was to begin?" |
46883 | When must it be ready?" |
46883 | When will she return?" |
46883 | Where am I to introduce it? |
46883 | Where are you, Charlotte-- where are you?" |
46883 | Where did you see her?" |
46883 | Where is the solution of this enigma? |
46883 | Where shall I find the holy, soul- kindling spark?" |
46883 | Where? |
46883 | Where?" |
46883 | Which is your favorite study?" |
46883 | Who can prevent it?" |
46883 | Who can say of himself that he has a true and exact knowledge of his own feelings? |
46883 | Who cheered me in my hours of sadness, and laughed with me in my hours of gladness? |
46883 | Who claims the hours that I pass in her company? |
46883 | Who commands here besides myself?" |
46883 | Who could write to him? |
46883 | Who gave you the right to forbid me to die?" |
46883 | Who had ever sent him any thing but rejected manuscripts and theatrical pieces? |
46883 | Who has worked with me and kept my little household in good order? |
46883 | Who is their mother? |
46883 | Who is your favorite hero in history?" |
46883 | Who knows where the star of his destiny will lead him? |
46883 | Who knows whether they will weep when their father also dies? |
46883 | Who lays claim to the feelings I bestow upon this poor creature? |
46883 | Who nursed me when I was sick? |
46883 | Who pursues you?" |
46883 | Who speaks to me?" |
46883 | Whom should you have poisoned but your rival?" |
46883 | Why are you leaving the place where I live?" |
46883 | Why are you silent?" |
46883 | Why did I not listen to his wise counsel? |
46883 | Why did she dare to become my rival, to estrange the king''s heart from me? |
46883 | Why did you call me back to my sufferings? |
46883 | Why did you come, although the light was displayed in the window?" |
46883 | Why do you come unannounced to my presence?" |
46883 | Why do you jest with poor little Christiane?" |
46883 | Why do you look so awe- struck, my son? |
46883 | Why do you not call the physician?" |
46883 | Why do you not tell me who was there? |
46883 | Why does he avoid me?" |
46883 | Why does my presence terrify you?" |
46883 | Why had he left the house so early in the morning, and returned so late in the evening, for the past three days? |
46883 | Why has fate ordained that all things should be subject to change, even love?" |
46883 | Why is he angry with me? |
46883 | Why must I alone rise from the richly- laden table of life with unsatisfied hunger? |
46883 | Why must you remain at a distance? |
46883 | Why not let me hear your beautiful little speech?" |
46883 | Why not man''s? |
46883 | Why not ours, too? |
46883 | Why not? |
46883 | Why not? |
46883 | Why should I tell you my name? |
46883 | Why should not an empress also write to her some day-- to her, the adored of the King of Prussia, and call her"ma cousine?" |
46883 | Why should you not have come? |
46883 | Why should you reproach me for desiring to have a portion of your letters published? |
46883 | Why was it that he conversed gayly with others when he returned in the evening, but had neither word nor look for her? |
46883 | Why was it that his knees trembled, and that he would have fallen to the ground had not a chair stood near by, into which he sank, groaning? |
46883 | Why was this wise man foolish enough to fall in love with you, as he must have known that a union between you and him is impossible?" |
46883 | Why, in the name of all the saints, do you give vent to your yearnings in trumpet tones, and afterward consider them the death- song of your love? |
46883 | Will it be gloomy? |
46883 | Will they be any the less your letters on that account?" |
46883 | Will this river be my grave? |
46883 | Will you assist me in this matter?" |
46883 | Will you be kind enough to give them to me?" |
46883 | Will you have a name, a proud title? |
46883 | Will you help me to attain all this?" |
46883 | Will you not welcome me?" |
46883 | Will you promise to do this?" |
46883 | Will you receive him, friend Körner?" |
46883 | Will you remain with me, and not deprive me of my dear son, who was about to leave me on your account? |
46883 | Will you see him?" |
46883 | Will your majesty permit me to serve it up?" |
46883 | Would I have based my hopes of obtaining the little house at Sans- Souci on your intercession? |
46883 | Would I otherwise have courted your alliance? |
46883 | You a poet, Frederick Schiller? |
46883 | You are certainly doing well, are you not, dear Marie?" |
46883 | You are doubly unjust to Fortuna; has she not smiled on you to- day, and are not your thoughts good and innocent?" |
46883 | You are laughing at me, signore, are you not? |
46883 | You are yet of the opinion that the grand- kophta will appear in answer to your invocations?" |
46883 | You can not intend to walk with me through the public streets in the broad light of day?" |
46883 | You can not require of me that I should betray Count Almaviva''s confidence, and impart to you the messages entrusted to me?" |
46883 | You despise me, the suicide, the coward? |
46883 | You despise my assistance?" |
46883 | You did not utter a single word at the wedding? |
46883 | You do not deserve it? |
46883 | You do not desire me to remain and fight at your side? |
46883 | You do not love me? |
46883 | You do not reply, Charlotte? |
46883 | You have joined a political party?" |
46883 | You have seen and spoken with him?" |
46883 | You heard all?" |
46883 | You intend paying her a visit this evening, do you not?" |
46883 | You know that this is so, do you not?" |
46883 | You know the piece, of course, the delightfully good- for- nothing piece, that created such a furor in France, and consequently here with us also?" |
46883 | You know who this Countess Ingenheim is, do you not?" |
46883 | You love another? |
46883 | You love me right cordially and sincerely, you say?" |
46883 | You love the king?" |
46883 | You remember it, doubtlessly, as you were present?" |
46883 | You see I thought of this when I saw Mr. Ebenstreit, and therefore--""What? |
46883 | You still love me?" |
46883 | You were present?" |
46883 | You will leave Italy and return to Germany?" |
46883 | You will not leave until to- morrow morning, I suppose?" |
46883 | You will remember that this was the only title you accorded me in former days?" |
46883 | Your pure light has set fire to my soul; have I not reason to dread a future based on falsehood and deception? |
46883 | [ Footnote 17:"Will you have the goodness to give me your arm, my prince?"] |
46883 | and may I never hope to see and thank you in the light of day?" |
46883 | and not a single word of friendship for me, no greeting?" |
46883 | are we not to have a wedding, and will we not live together happily afterward? |
46883 | are you not my wife? |
46883 | asked Marie, as she leaned back in the arm- chair, as if exhausted by her work.--"Why do you not answer? |
46883 | can he replace my jewels, my trousseau, and my silver- ware? |
46883 | cried Trude, passionately;"why should not I also, at last, forget what she has forgotten throughout her entire life? |
46883 | cried she, anxiously,"you are not going?" |
46883 | did I come here to see my peace and tranquillity of mind burn like dry straw, under the kindling glances of a beautiful girl? |
46883 | did an earthquake make the ground tremble beneath him? |
46883 | do you hear nothing?" |
46883 | from behind which hedge have you fastened your stony gaze on me? |
46883 | have you alone passed the night in quiet slumber?" |
46883 | have you forgotten me, who was your friend and your mother?" |
46883 | how dare you cross this threshold without my permission?" |
46883 | is every ideal to be destroyed? |
46883 | is every temple to be overthrown? |
46883 | or was it only the storm of passion that was passing over his head? |
46883 | or was it only the tears in his eyes that made the room look so gloomy? |
46883 | repeated Goethe, startled,"the signora''s name is Leonora?" |
46883 | said Elizabeth Christine, with quivering lips--"and do you know what brings him here?" |
46883 | she cried, suddenly,"it can not have been-- O Trude, for God''s sake, tell me, who was it? |
46883 | was nothing but its unhappiness portrayed in her faded countenance? |
46883 | was the sun overcast? |
46883 | what can I do?" |
46883 | what is the matter with you? |
46883 | what is the matter with you? |
46883 | who called my name?" |
46883 | who could send him a package from that city? |
46883 | why are you not permitted to stand at my side in this great hour? |
46883 | why did I not remain the regimental surgeon, and crouch submissively at the feet of my tyrant? |
46883 | why do the rainbow hues and fire of love vanish? |
46883 | why does it not retain like the precious stone its brilliant tints and fiery lustre? |
46883 | will you have a magnificent landed estate? |
46883 | will you have jewelry or treasures? |
46883 | without giving me the name of my benefactor and saviour?" |
46883 | would not_ his_ lips soon say more, in a single kiss, than thousands of written words could tell? |
46883 | yes, but will she keep her word? |
46883 | you do not believe that weeks will pass before Philip comes?" |
