6312Did the bard speak with authority?
6312Do you love me?
6312Does he throw away the pen?
6312Does the general voice of ages affirm any principle, or is no community of sentiment discoverable in distant times and places?

6312Why be an angel before your time?
6312Why exaggerate the power of virtue?
6312Why fancy that you have all the truth in your keeping?
6312Why hear I the same sense from countless differing voices, and read one never quite expressed fact in endless picture- language?
6312Why pretend that life is so simple a game, when we know how subtle and elusive the Proteus is?
6312Why should I take them on trust?
6312Why should I vapor and play the philosopher, instead of ballasting, the best I can, this dancing balloon?
6312Why should we fret and drudge?
6312Why so talkative in public, when each of my neighbors can pin me to my seat by arguments I can not refute?
6312Why think to shut up all things in your narrow coop, when we know there are not one or two only, but ten, twenty, a thousand things, and unlike?
6312Why throw obstacles in the way of its defense?
6312Will any say, this is cold and infidel?
6312With such, Talleyrand''s question is ever the main one; not, is he rich?
6312Yet the instincts presently teach, that the problem of essence must take precedence of all others,--the questions of Whence?
6312_ Que sais- je?_ What do I know.
6312against climate, against barbarism, in my country?
6312and Whither?
6312and is not the satisfaction of the doubts essential to all manliness?
6312and to have answer, and to rely on that?
6312and whereto?
6312does he stand for something?
6312has he this or that faculty?
6312is he committed?
6312is he of the establishment?--but, Is he anybody?
6312is he of the movement?
6312is he well- meaning?
6312is there fate?
6312means, Do you see the same truth?
6312or, is reporting a breach of the manners of that heavenly society?
6312or, was it that he saw the vision intellectually, and hence that chiding of the intellectual that pervades his books?
11123And if I may not choose but weep Is not my grief mine own? 11123 Didst thou not say, he has desire for knowledge?

11123My father, my father, and dost thou not see, How the Erl- King his daughters has brought here for me?

11123Are not things worse from day to day?
11123Are then we Naught to thee?
11123Are we not bound to render the distress''d The gracious kindness from the gods receiv''d?

11123Come I as consort hither?
11123Come I as victim for the prince''s bitter pangs, And for the evils dire, long suffered by the Greeks?
11123Come, no delay; What liquor can I serve you with, I pray?
11123Could such a spirit aught ensnare?

11123Didst thou not do all this thyself, My sacred glowing heart?
11123Distant now and now more near?
11123Do I a magic atmosphere inhale?
11123Do I then stand before thee weaponless?
11123Do human voices never reach this shore?
11123Do not the strangers who come here commend the repairs in our gateway, Notice our whitewashed tower, and the church we have newly rebuilded?
11123Do not the sun and moon with grace Their forms in ocean lave?

11123FAUST(_ stamping_) Who''s there?
11123FIFTH CHORISTER Thy cherished meagreness, whereon dost nourish that?
11123FROSCH How mean you that?
11123FROSCH Was that your nose?
11123FROSCH You''re doubtless recently from Rippach?
11123Fell the hero in his home, Through Clytemnestra''s and Ægisthus''wiles?
11123Firm let him stand, the prospect round him scan, Not mute the world to the true- hearted man Why need he wander through eternity?
11123For this time have I leave to go?
11123For who among us has means for paying the work- people''s wages?
11123Gold- work is it, or the flaming of surpassing spirit- power?
11123HOMUNCULUS Upon your ear indeed how should it fall?
11123HOMUNCULUS What''s to be done?
11123Has neither nature nor a noble mind A balsam yet devis''d of any kind?
11123Has not all this come to pass since the time of our great conflagration?

11123Hast thou not heard of Ionia''s, Ne''er been instructed in Hellas''Legends, from ages primeval, Godlike, heroical treasure?
11123Hath but a poodle scap''d and left me here?
11123Hath not Diana, harboring no revenge For this suspension of her bloody rites, In richest measure heard thy gentle prayer?
11123Hath not the goddess who protected me Alone a right to my devoted head?
11123Hath the terrific Furies''grisly band Dried up the blood of life within thy veins?
11123Hath woman charms so rare?

11123Hence to the everlasting resting- place, And not one step beyond!--Thou''rt leaving me?
11123Here I leave thee, and where I shall find thee again, or if ever, Who can tell?
11123Here, returneth not the queen?
11123Here, what doth fail me, shall I find?
11123Him nam''st thou ancestor whom all the world Knows as a sometime favorite of the gods?
11123Him who dare name, And who proclaim-- Him I believe?
11123His manufactures and traffic Daily are making him richer; for whence draws the merchant not profit?
11123His vehicle of cloud lands him on a mountain- summit, where he is soon joined by Mephistopheles, who puts the question, What next?
11123Hopes he perhaps to escape the everywhere threatened evil?
11123How camest thou hither?"
11123How comes it that thou dost not shrink from me?-- And dost thou know, love, whom thou wouldst set free?
11123How comes this lovely casket here?
11123How dare ye thus to meet?
11123How did the last descendant of the race,-- The gentle child, to whom the Gods assign''d The office of avenger,--how did he Escape that day of blood?
11123How for so long can it have charms for you?
11123How long wilt linger?
11123How make our entertainment striking, new, And yet significant and pleasing too?
11123How say you now?
11123How shall he get it?
11123How speeds it?
11123How to my brother shall I say farewell?
11123How?
11123How?
11123I can not, dare not, say Your doom is hopeless; for, with murderous hand, Could I inflict the fatal blow myself?
11123I heard you here declaim; A Grecian tragedy you doubtless read?
11123I or thou?
11123I sought to pluck it,-- It gently said:"Shall I be gather''d Only to fade?"
11123IN THE GARDEN_ The three at table_ BAUCIS(_ to the stranger_) Art thou dumb?
11123INQUISITIVE TRAVELLER Can I indeed believe my eyes?
11123INQUISITIVE TRAVELLER How name ye that stiff formal man, Who strides with lofty paces?
11123IPHIGENIA And is not this intelligence enough?
11123IPHIGENIA And what reward receiv''d the base accomplice?
11123IPHIGENIA Base passion prompted then the deed of shame?
11123IPHIGENIA Can foreign scenes our fatherland replace?
11123IPHIGENIA Did her repentant hand shed her own blood?
11123IPHIGENIA Hast thou one sister only, thy Electra?
11123IPHIGENIA How dare I venture such a step, O king?
11123IPHIGENIA How had the monarch injured Clytemnestra?
11123IPHIGENIA Ill- will and anger harbors he against me?
11123IPHIGENIA Shall I then speed the doom that threatens me?
11123IPHIGENIA What should I fear''?
11123IPHIGENIA''Tis heard By every one, born''neath whatever clime, Within whose bosom flows the stream of life, Pure and unhinder''d.--What thy thought?
11123IPHIGENIA(_ after a pause_) Doth man Lay undisputed claim to noble deeds?
11123If fate''s dread mandate doth not seal thy lips, From which of our illustrious races say, Dost thou thy godlike origin derive?
11123If for six stallions I can pay, Do I not own their strength and speed?
11123In all your life, say, have you ne''er False witness borne, until this hour?
11123In rocky hollows and in caverns drear, Why like an owl sit moping here?
11123In this recumbent form, supremely fair, The essence must I see of heavenly grace?
11123Inform me, hast thou to the king announc''d The prudent message we agreed upon?
11123Is blame In coming here, as ever, thy sole aim?
11123Is colonizing not thy sphere?
11123Is force creative then of Sense the dower?
11123Is it destruction?
11123Is it hate?
11123Is it remembrance?
11123Is it that Tantalus, whom Jove himself Drew to his council and his social board?
11123Is morrow''s dawn not time enough?
11123Is naught left for us?
11123Is not Electra here?
11123Is not this book of mystery By Nostradamus''proper hand, An all- sufficient guide?
11123Is our gracious bond a dream?
11123Is she gone?
11123Is then death for thee decreed?
11123Is there a Fury shrouded in thy form?
11123Is there in all literature anything finer, grander, more nobly conceived?
11123Is there no enmity among you now?
11123Is there no power within my spirit''s depths?
11123Is this the sacred person of the king?
11123Is thy prayer utter''d for thy mother''s soul, Who into long, long torment slept through thee?
11123Is yonder flasket there a magnet to my sight?
11123Is''t done, the deed?
11123Is''t in train?
11123Is''t not enough, that by the word I gave, My doom for evermore is cast?
11123Is''t not mere masquerading?
11123Is''t possible?
11123It sounds more near; Plover, owl, and jay appear, All awake, around, above?
11123Know''st thou it well?
11123Know''st thou it well?
11123Know''st thou the house?
11123Know''st thou the meaning of, He loveth thee?
11123Know''st thou the mountain, and its cloudy bridge?
11123Let that suffice: but tell me, who art thou, And what unbless''d o''erruling destiny Hath hither led thee with thy friend?
11123Lie there treasures hidden yonder?
11123Lifts not the Heaven its dome above?
11123MARGARET But he will surely marry her?
11123MARGARET But, who, I wonder, could the caskets bring?
11123MARGARET Did you not see it?
11123MARGARET How mean you, Sir?
11123MARGARET How so?
11123MARGARET How, dearest?
11123MARGARET How?
11123MARGARET Then thou dost not believe?
11123MARGARET What from the floor ascendeth like a ghost?
11123MARGARET What, there?
11123MARGARET(_ coming out_) Who lieth here?
11123MARGARET(_ turning toward him_) And art thou he?
11123MARTHA And had you naught besides to bring?
11123MARTHA Gretchen?
11123MARTHA How?
11123MARTHA I mean, has passion never stirred your breast?
11123MARTHA Is dead?
11123MARTHA Speak frankly, sir, none is there you have met?
11123MARTHA What, all my truth, my love forgotten quite?
11123MARTHA Yet hath your heart no earnest preference known?
11123MARTHA Your business, Sir?
11123MARTHA''Tis I. Pray what have you to say to me?
11123MARTHA(_ coming out_) Where are the murderers?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES A man?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES Admittance unto me deny?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES And the danger to which thou dost expose thyself?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES And this young lady, we shall find her too?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES But whitherward to travel are we fain?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES Come hither, friend!--Your name is Nicodemus?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES Do you ask?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES Explain, ere further time we lose, What special faculty you choose?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES Hast done?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES How long is it her wo nt to roam?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES I can not loose the bands of the avenger, nor withdraw his bolts.--Save her!--Who was it plunged her into perdition?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES Is it permitted here with you to sit?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES Like any Frenchman now you speak, But do not fret, I pray; why seek To hurry to enjoyment straight?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES Of this lone life have you not had your fill?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES Of what use is the sieve THE HE- MONKEY(_ taking it down_) The sieve would show, If thou wert a thief or no?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES Part of that power which still Produceth good, whilst ever scheming ill. FAUST What hidden mystery in this riddle lies?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES Poor Son of Earth, without my aid, How would thy weary days have flown?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES The doctor?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES This displeases you?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES We heard erewhile, unless I''m wrong, Voices well trained in chorus pealing?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES What wilt thou wager?
11123MEPHISTOPHELES Where the four winds have blown it, who can say?

11123Many things I had done; but then the cost of such changes Who does not fear, especially now in this season of danger?
11123May I no longer feed the silent hope Which in my solitude I fondly cherish''d?
11123May I some future time repeat my visit, To hear on what your wisdom grounds your views?
11123Must I be forced myself to name?
11123Must I implore a miracle from heaven?
11123Must I seek counsel from an ancient dame?
11123Must gentle woman quite forego her nature, Force against force employ, like Amazons Usurp the sword from man, and bloodily Revenge oppression?
11123Must the good one perish in this fashion?

11123Said we not always then he should have his own choice in the matter?
11123Say is the melody, Say is the movement right?
11123Say 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?
11123Say, is it life, within this holy fane, Like a poor ghost around its sepulchre To linger out my days?
11123Say, 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?"
11123Seest thou yonder snail?
11123Shall He in time to come not defend us and furnish us succor?
11123Shall I fly, or shall I stay?
11123Shall I knock?
11123Shall I with chisel, pen, or graver write?
11123Shall death o''ercome a life that all revere?
11123Shall the dire curse eternally endure?
11123She beckons_ FAUST_ to approach._] FAUST(_ to_ MEPHISTOPHELES) Tell me, to what doth all this tend?
11123She sang to him, and spake the while"Why lurest thou my brood, With human wit and human guile From out their native flood?
11123She?
11123Shines not with twofold charms their face, When rising from the wave?
11123So then tonight-- FAUST What''s that to you?
11123So thou my captive art?
11123So 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?
11123Spring 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?
11123Steeds, servants, carriage, where are they?
11123Still for the fond illusion yearns my soul?

11123THE LORD Know''st thou my servant, Faust?
11123THE OTHERS What will you do?
11123THE WITCH But why?
11123THE WITCH Now tell me, gentlemen, what you desire?
11123THOAS And dost thou think That the uncultured Scythian will attend The voice of truth and of humanity Which Atreus, the Greek, heard not?
11123THOAS Bear they their own guilt, or their ancestor''s?
11123THOAS To hear them have I not an equal right?
11123THOAS Wherefore delay the sacrifice?
11123Tell me honestly, therefore, what goads thee to such a decision?"
11123Tell me, art thou not judge among this fugitive people, Father, who thus in an instant canst bid their passions be quiet?
11123Tell me, of Phorkyas''Daughters which art thou?
11123Tell me, stand we motionless, Or still forward do we press?
11123Tell me, what burdens thy heart?
11123The All- embracer, All- sustainer, Holds and sustains he not Thee, me, himself?
11123The deep, deep heavens, then lure thee not,-- The moist yet radiant blue,-- Not thine own form,--to tempt thy lot''Midst this eternal dew?"
11123The devil''s presence-- was it but a dream?
11123The joy of mild benignity approves, Which leads him to relax the rigid claims Of mute submission?
11123The problem solve for me, Why man and wife so wretchedly agree?
11123The question here is, how to cure this one?
11123The 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?
11123The torch of life to kindle we were fain;--A fire- sea,--what a fire!--doth round us close; Love is it?
11123The treasure hath he buried, pray?
11123The will that nothing could withstand, Is broken here upon the sand: How from the vexing thought be safe?
11123The world is weeping-- shall not we weep, too?
11123Then deathless constancy thou''lt swear; Speak of one all o''ermastering passion-- Will that too issue from the heart?
11123Then they sing songs about me,--''tis wicked of the throng-- An ancient ballad endeth so; Who bade them thus apply the song?
11123There can reliance fail Where majesty resistless sways, And ready power makes foemen quail?
11123There lies the gold, but to procure it thence, That is the art: who knoweth to commence?
11123Therefore speak up for thyself; what need of the tongue of another?"
11123Thereupon all were silent and smiled; but the father made answer:''Thou knowest no one, my friend, I believe, but Adam and Eve?''
11123Thereupon thou by the hand didst take me, and speak to me, saying,--''Lisa, how camest thou hither?
11123These splendid gems, whose may they be?
11123These tears in thine eyes, what has brought them?"
11123Thine own dear hand!--But how is this?
11123Think 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?
11123Think ye that love until now can have been shut out from her bosom?
11123Think 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?
11123Think ye,''tis hid from me, the race whereof ye are?
11123Thinkest, on thy strength relying, That thou hast me in a strait?
11123Thou dread''st to see her face once more?
11123Thou know''st we are, and yet wilt thou compel me?
11123Thou lingerest at the fatal door?
11123Thou, When from thy being o''er a thousand hearts, A healing balsam flows?
11123Thy lonely shelter on the firm- set earth Must thou abandon?
11123Thy lord and master dost thou know?
11123Thy love where hast thou left?
11123To her it will not harmful prove?
11123To rave thus like a madman, is it fit?
11123To save thyself, thy brother, and a friend, One path presents itself, and canst thou ask If we shall follow it?
11123Today I''m principal once more; But useless''tis, to bear the name: Where are the folk to recognize my claim?
11123Unto the bard''s pregnant word Hast thou perchance never listened?
11123VALENTINE(_ steps forward_) Whom are you luring here?
11123VOICE Which way didst come?
11123VOICE(_ from above_) What voice of woe Calls from the cavern''d depths below?
11123WAGNER Why let this thought your soul o''ercast?
11123WAGNER(_ alarmed_) And I?
11123WANDERER 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?
11123Was I all that?
11123Was I not fashion''d to be a man By omnipotent Time, And by eternal Fate, Masters of me and thee?
11123Was ever mortal spirit, in its high endeavor, Fathom''d by Being such as thou?
11123Was it frenzy seized on me?
11123Was it not given to thee and me-- thee too?
11123Was it not just now thy wish that he might with lively affection Feel himself drawn to some maiden?
11123Was then the youthful queen descried With varied colors in the flask-- This was our medicine; the patients died;"Who were restored?"
11123Were not the names of those men who first delivered the message, Names to compare with the highest that under the heavens are spoken?
11123What God would_ outwardly_ alone control, And on His finger whirl the mighty Whole?
11123What ails thee?
11123What avails the joy and pain?
11123What boots it to be young and fair?
11123What boots it to escape?
11123What call we great?
11123What can the world to me afford?
11123What deed of shame Lurks in thy sinful heart?
11123What dreams beguile you on your poet''s height?
11123What from this place itself hath banned?
11123What harm have I e''er done to thee?
11123What has happened?
11123What held those crooked shoulder- blades suspended?
11123What holds me, that I deal not now Thee and thine apes a stunning blow?
11123What in the gloom thus moves you?
11123What is desired and chased away?
11123What is upbraided and assailed?
11123What light intense In these pure symbols do I see Nature exert her vital energy?
11123What 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?
11123What may this mean?
11123What meanest thou with this thy Lent- address?
11123What more can we desire, what more mankind?
11123What now remains for me Wherewith my inborn freedom to defend?
11123What ought I to forego?
11123What plash, what plunge the liquid glass destroys?
11123What puts a full house in a merry mood?
11123What see I, sisters?
11123What shall I experience next?
11123What stir ye in the broth about?
11123What takest thou the brute to be?
11123What though my life her bosom warms!-- Do I not ever feel her woe?
11123What thoughts are thine?
11123What to thy throne now draweth near?
11123What will be my fate today?
11123What wins protection every day?
11123What would he in this holy place?
11123What wouldst thou here?
11123What''s it all about?
11123What''s the master''s pleasure?
11123Whence are ye come?
11123Whence cometh he?--How passed he through?
11123Whence this mild radiance that around me plays, As when,''mid forest gloom, reigneth the moon''s soft light?
11123Where are the fetters?
11123Where art thou, Faust?
11123Where art thou, Pylades?
11123Where art thou?
11123Where is he?
11123Where is our aged sire?
11123Where is the breast, which in its depths a world conceiv''d, And bore and cherished?
11123Where loyal will, through reason strong, And prowess, manifold, unite, What could together join for wrong, For darkness, where such stars give light?
11123Where of such malice Bursteth the tempest From this deep- lurking brood of Hell?
11123Where shall I grasp thee, infinite nature, where?
11123Where will these frantic gestures end?
11123Where''s now the soul''s deep cry?
11123Where?
11123Wherefore from dripping stones and moss with ooze embued, Dost suck, like any toad, thy food?
11123Wherewith my lovely girl to deck?
11123While half the world we''neath our sway have brought, What have ye done?
11123Who are ye then that ye the house''s stewardess Thus bay, like pack of hounds hoarsely that bay the moon?
11123Who are ye then, that thus around the monarch''s house, With Maenad rage, ye dare like drunken ones to rave?
11123Who are you troop in high communion met, Like an assembled family of princes?
11123Who can detect the rogue at dead of night?
11123Who can tell what there is shining?
11123Who comes this way?
11123Who does win it?
11123Who every blossom in sweet spring- time flowering Along the loved one''s path would strow?
11123Who hath me of thy love bereft?
11123Who hath the monarch''s gloomy temper cheered?
11123Who help''d me Against the Titans''insolence?
11123Who helps his neighbor now?
11123Who in the raging storm sees passion low''ring?
11123Who now will help afford?
11123Who now would break my rest?
11123Who on the child its true name dares bestow?
11123Who rescued me from certain death, From slavery?
11123Who that can feel, His heart can steel, To say: I believe him not?
11123Who then art thou?
11123Who would not fall in love with you?
11123Who''d take the trouble to dispute with fools?
11123Who''ll teach me now?
11123Who''mid his pleasures for a trifle cares?
11123Who''s sneaking here?
11123Who, Nature''s green familiar leaves entwining, Wreathes glory''s garland, won on every field?
11123Who, beside me, the galling chains unbound, Which cramping thought had cast your spirits round?
11123Whom darest thou not summon here?
11123Whose name doth plaudits still command?
11123Whose voice heard I resound Who toward me press''d with energy profound?
11123Why art thou silent?
11123Why at the threshold snuffest thou so?
11123Why did I not forsee Such an emergency, and tutor thee This counsel also wisely to elude?
11123Why dost thou seek our fellowship, if thou canst not go through with it?
11123Why hast thou failed to shroud thyself Within the veil of sacerdotal rites?
11123Why how is this?
11123Why 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?
11123Why ride so hard?
11123Why should they prison me?
11123Why should you flare away so uselessly?
11123Why talk of the poetic vein?
11123Why the dull ache will not depart, By which thy life- pulse is oppress''d?
11123Why thus lingering stand?
11123Why wilt thou plague thyself with thrashing straw?
11123Why, who would seek to woo the stars Down from their glorious sphere?
11123Why, women, do ye howl and wail?
11123Will he force employ To drag me from the altar to his bed?
11123Will it ascend into the open air?
11123Will sufferings never Teach you to cease from your brawls of old between brother and brother?
11123Wilt fly, and art not proof against dizziness?
11123With tranquil pleasure in your deep repose A weary son of earth may lave his soul!-- What whisp''ring sounds pervade the dreary grove?
11123With what desire?
11123With you he''ll walk, he''ll dance with none but you, And with your pleasures what have I to do?
11123Withdraw?
11123Ye are prosperous and glad; how then should a pleasantry wound you?
11123Ye deep- ton''d bells, do ye, with voice sublime, Announce the solemn dawn of Easter- day?
11123Ye gush, and must I languish in despair?
11123Yet fixed is this delusion in our heart; Who, of his own free will, therefrom would part?
11123Yet wherefore must the stream, alas, so soon be dry, That we once more athirst should lie?
11123Yet''twas to be expected; knew I not That with a woman I had now to deal?
11123You can not have the wine- casks at the door?
11123Your dying breath in slander will you spend?
11123Your 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?

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