2395 | How is it with you, friend Admetus? |
2395 | How may I get to your house? |
2395 | How may I go there with you? |
2395 | How? |
2395 | Is it for the girdle given me by Ares, the god of war, that you have come, braving the Amazons, Heracles? |
2395 | Sister, sister, have you taken the eye? |

2395 | And one said to the other:"What land is this? |
2395 | And one voice said:"Why has Peleus striven so hard to raise a wall that his son shall fight hard to overthrow?" |
2395 | And the first robber said,"Who began that conflict, the frogs or the mice?" |
2395 | And then she said:"What is this strange sickle- sword that you wear? |
2395 | But why do I speak of other princes beside Celeus, our father? |

2395 | Heracles slapped him on the leg and said:"What more of the heroic exploits of the mice?" |
2395 | How can I look upon a woman''s face and remind myself that I can not look upon Alcestis''s face ever again?" |
2395 | How could he, he thought, leave Hypsipyle and this land of Lemnos behind? |
2395 | It was then that Jason cried out:"Ah, when Pelias spoke of this quest to me, why did I not turn my head away and refuse to be drawn into it? |
2395 | O ye gods, have ye no pity for Danae, the mother of Perseus?" |
2395 | Pelias said:"If you have been able to come by those juices, how is it that you remain in woeful age and decrepitude?" |
2395 | She had no tears to shed then, and in a hard voice she asked,"Why did my son slay Plexippus and Toxeus, his uncles?" |
2395 | She said to them:"Where can I go, dear children? |
2395 | What can these men do against us who are winged and who can travel through the ways of the air?" |
2395 | What good will my life and my spirit be to me if they can not win this race for me?" |
2395 | What name have you?" |
2395 | What was their doom to be? |
2395 | Whither have we come? |
2395 | Who are you who speak of juices that can bring back one to the strength and glory of his youth?" |
2395 | Who has slain my brothers?" |
2395 | Who told you the way to our dwelling place? |
2395 | Why should I not strive with Death? |
2395 | Why should they not toil, they who were born for great labors and to face dangers that other men might not face? |
2395 | Will you not take her into your house while I am away on a journey?" |
2395 | Wilt thou come with me, Thetis? |
2395 | With a great fear at her heart she cried out:"Dearest, has any food passed your lips in all the time you have been in the Underworld?" |
2395 | Would Chalciope come to her and ask her, Medea, to help her sons? |
2395 | Would she, not finding an opening to fly through, turn back? |
2395 | he cried,"who speak of the garden watched over by the Daughters of the Evening Land? |
38011 | Seest thou them now? |
38011 | ''Couldst not thou Trust me, who never loved as I love thee? |
38011 | And art thou too damned as I? |
38011 | And me a widow? |
38011 | And should the cold proud Lord I never loved, the murderer of my girl, Come''twixt my love and me? |
38011 | And this low voice, long silent, keeps it still The music of old time? |
38011 | As I named Her name in haste, she looked with half surprise, And thus she seemed to speak:"What? |
38011 | Break they then still, Those azure circles, on a golden shore? |
38011 | But I:"Oh, soul, What holdeth Life more precious than to know The Giver and to die?" |
38011 | But what cared I? |
38011 | Comest thou from earthly air, or whence? |
38011 | Didst hear him groan? |
38011 | Does my cheek Retain the round of youth and still defy The wear of immemorial centuries? |
38011 | Dost thou know Thou too, the fatal glances which beguiled Those strong rude chiefs of old? |
38011 | For I had found My love at last: what matter if it were A guilty love? |
38011 | For all the tales of the indignant gods, What were they but the priests''? |
38011 | For what is Sin itself, But Error when we miss the road which leads Up to the gate of heaven? |
38011 | Has Passion still no prisoners? |
38011 | Has not the gloom Of this dim land withdrawn from out mine eyes The glamour which once filled them? |
38011 | Have not strong Will And high Ambition rotted into Greed And Wrong, for any, as of old, and whelmed The struggling soul in ruin? |
38011 | Her sweet voice rang Clear as a bird''s:"Mortal, what fate hath brought Thee hither, uncleansed by death? |
38011 | How canst thou breathe Immortal air, being mortal? |
38011 | How should a virgin know Deceit, who never at the joyous shrine Of Cypris knelt, but ever lived apart, And so grew guilty? |
38011 | How should the gods Bear rule if I were happy? |
38011 | How to reach with halting words That infinite Perfection? |
38011 | I had not shrunk From blood, but this, the strong son of my youth-- How should I dare this thing? |
38011 | If all my life Of wedlock was but half a life, what fiend Came''twixt my love and me, but that fair face? |
38011 | Is there, then, any who holds my worship cold And lifeless? |
38011 | Or only phantoms, creatures of the brain, Born of the fears of men, the greed of priests, Useful to govern women? |
38011 | Or seek to engrave upon the treacherous thought The fair and fugitive fancies of a dream, Which vanish ere we fix them? |
38011 | Pine there now No lives which fierce Love, sinking into Lust, Has drowned at last in tears and blood-- plunged down To the lowest depths of Hell? |
38011 | Said I then young? |
38011 | Seeing me, he said:"What? |
38011 | Seest thou them, or am I shut From hope for ever, hungering, thirsting still, A madman and in Hell?" |
38011 | Shall I fear To tell of that great trial, when I strove And Phoebus conquered? |
38011 | Shall my soul Forget the agonized message which he sent, Bidding me come? |
38011 | She was we d; And was not I her mother? |
38011 | Sirs, have you seen the god?'' |
38011 | That poor wretch who thought I injured her, stealing the foolish heart Which she prized but I could not, what knew she Of that I suffered? |
38011 | They shall live again On earth, as thou shalt, as thou livest now The Life of Death-- for what is Death but Life Suspended as in sleep? |
38011 | Was it a sigh, A blush, a momentary glance, which brought Assurance of my triumph? |
38011 | Was it just In her, my mistress, who had had my youth, To wreak such vengeance on me? |
38011 | Was it love That drew me then to Paris? |
38011 | Was it not better thus to cease and die Together in one blest moment, mid the flush And ecstasy of worship, and to know Ourselves the victims? |
38011 | Were there any gods? |
38011 | What Love is left for such? |
38011 | What fatal charm is this which Até gives To one poor foolish face? |
38011 | What if they knew No childish loving hands, or worse than all, Had borne them sullen to a sire unloved, And left them without pain? |
38011 | What if we be the cause of ignorance? |
38011 | What is it To have borne the weight of offspring''neath the zone, If Love be not their sire; or live long years Of commerce, not of love? |
38011 | What left his children orphans, but that face? |
38011 | What need Of words to tell of things unreached by words? |
38011 | What need to tell the tale? |
38011 | What need to tell them? |
38011 | What need was there of magical arts to draw The love that never wavered? |
38011 | What power Has brought thee hither? |
38011 | What then in the near future? |
38011 | What, living still? |
38011 | Whence art thou? |
38011 | Why should I seek to clothe myself, and hide The treasure of my Beauty? |
38011 | Why should I stain my soul For such as those-- dogs that would fawn and lick The hand that fed them, but, if food should fail, Would turn and rend me? |
38011 | that art so fair, Were it not haply better to deface Thy fatal loveliness, and leave thee bare Of all thy baleful power? |
400 | A bit of sea- grass on the sand, Dropped from a mermaid''s hair-- Ah, had she come to kiss his name And leave a token there? |
400 | Ah, Aphrodite, was it not from thee My summons came across the endless spaces? |
400 | All of his vows were sweet to hear, Sweet was his kiss to take; Why was her breast so quick to fear, Why was her heart, to break? |
400 | And now, what woman''s eyes would smile on me? |
400 | Are the songs that soothed your fears Vanished like a vanished flame, Save the line where shines your name Starlike down the graying years? |
400 | Coney Island Why did you bring me here? |
400 | Did the warmth of all the sun Thro''your little body run When she kissed your hands and feet? |
400 | Did they weep or did they smile When she crooned to still your cries, She, a muse in human guise, Who forsook her lyre awhile? |
400 | Did you feel her wild heart beat? |
400 | Did your fingers, babywise, Touch her face and touch her hair, Did you think your mother fair, Could you bear her burning eyes? |
400 | Have I not made the world to weep enough? |
400 | Have they heard? |
400 | He went as fast as I could run; I wonder how he crossed the sky? |
400 | How shall I sing of sunlight Who never saw the sun? |
400 | I can not see-- Is every one so lonely when he dies? |
400 | I still am beautiful, and yet what child Would think of me as some high, heaven- sent thing, An angel, clad in gold and miniver? |
400 | II Where is the silver in the rain, Where is the music in the sea, Where is the bird that sang all day To break my heart with melody? |
400 | IV What am I that he should love me, He who stands so far above me, What am I? |
400 | In carven coffers hidden in the dark Have you not laid a sapphire lit with flame And amethysts set round with deep- wrought gold, Perhaps a ruby? |
400 | K. Are we not past the caring for their eyes And nearer to the heaven than to earth? |
400 | K. Are you afraid, Who were so dauntless till the walls gave way? |
400 | K. May they not see us? |
400 | K. Shall I not see them now? |
400 | K. Why came we here in all the noon- day light With only darting swallows over us To make a speck of darkness on the sun? |
400 | L. But you have been an enemy, my lord, With walls between us and with moss- grown moats, Now on a sudden must I kiss your mouth? |
400 | L. How could I show you in one day, my lord, My castle and my treasures and my tower? |
400 | My eyes, my mouth, My hair that loved the wind, were they not worth The breath of love upon them? |
400 | My heart that beats too fast will rest too soon; I shall not know if it be night or noon,-- Yet shall I struggle in the dark for breath? |
400 | O girl whose lips Erato stooped to kiss, Do you go sorrowing because of this In fields where poets sing forevermore? |
400 | Or would his heart rejoice and overflow, As happy brooks that break their icy rim When April''s horns along the hillsides blow? |
400 | Or would it still remember, tho''it spanned A thousand heavens, while the planets fanned The vacant ether with their voices deep? |
400 | Ornella, are you there? |
400 | Rispetto Was that his step that sounded on the stair? |
400 | Sappho, tell me this, Was I not sometimes fair? |
400 | Shall I not see all these and all your treasures? |
400 | The Rose and the Bee If I were a bee and you were a rose, Would you let me in when the gray wind blows? |
400 | The Wind A wind is blowing over my soul, I hear it cry the whole night thro''-- Is there no peace for me on earth Except with you? |
400 | The room is filled with lights-- with waving lights-- Who are the men and women''round the bed? |
400 | The sun''s gone in, the sparkle''s dead, There falls a dash of rain, But who would care when such an air Comes blowing up the Seine? |
400 | There was no evil hidden in my life, And yet, and yet, I would not have them know-- Am I not floating in a mist of light? |
400 | To- day, to- night? |
400 | Was it for love of lost delight Love looked back as he took his flight? |
400 | Was it not lonely when across the floor No step was heard, no sudden song that bore My whole heart upward with a joyous pain? |
400 | Was that his knock I heard upon the door? |
400 | We weep before the Blessed Mother''s shrine, To think upon her sorrows, but her joys What nun could ever know a tithing of? |
400 | Were not the pictures and the volumes fain To have me with them always as before? |
400 | What care have I To please Apollo since Love hearkens not? |
400 | What have I said, Ornella? |
400 | What if I lost the power to lie, And he should only hear his name In one low, broken cry? |
400 | What if my voice should let him know The mocking words were all a sham, And lips that laugh could tremble so? |
400 | What if, to- night, I should revisit them? |
400 | What was I saying? |
400 | When the dusk was wet with dew, Cleis, did the muses nine Listen in a silent line While your mother sang to you? |
400 | Why have the high gods made me wreak their wrath-- Forever since my maidenhood to sow Sorrow and blood about me? |
400 | Why should I tarry? |
400 | Why was the man so glad to woo? |
400 | Will no one fight the Terror for my sake, The heavy darkness that no dawn will break? |
400 | Will you not bring me to your oratory Where prayers arose like little birds set free Still upward, upward without sound of flight? |
400 | Would you hold your petals wide apart, Would you let me in to find your heart, If you were a rose? |
400 | Youth and the Pilgrim Gray pilgrim, you have journeyed far, I pray you tell to me Is there a land where Love is not, By shore of any sea? |
11582 | And do you still think that you can spin and weave as well as I? |
11582 | And who are you, young man? |
11582 | Athena, the queen of the air? 11582 But I have no ship, and how shall I go?" |
11582 | But what shall I do? |
11582 | But who is the Pythia that you spoke about? |
11582 | But wo n''t you give us the start of you a little? |
11582 | But you will at least take fifty young men, your companions, with you? |
11582 | Can no one kill this beast? |
11582 | Did he not tell you that it fits all guests? |
11582 | Has anything happened to Coronis? 11582 Has the king a son?" |
11582 | Have you a pine tree bent down to the ground and ready for me? |
11582 | Have you dropped them, sister? 11582 How can you go to Athens in these lawless times?" |
11582 | How could she teach me? 11582 Is it true,"said Theseus,"that you have lured hundreds of travelers into your den only to rob them? |
11582 | Is there anything that you wish? |
11582 | Is this the kind of bed on which you have your guests lie down? |
11582 | Is this your wonderful bed? |
11582 | My father? |
11582 | O cowardly and shameless men,answered King Minos,"why do you ask this foolish question, since you can but know the cause of my wrath? |
11582 | O mighty king,they said,"what have we done that you should wish thus to destroy us from the earth?" |
11582 | Oh, how can I live,she cried,"now that I must never again use loom or spindle or distaff?" |
11582 | Say you that I am the hope of Athens? |
11582 | Shall I go north, or south, or east, or west? |
11582 | Shall I kill him? |
11582 | Shall this upstart cheat us out of our heritage? |
11582 | Then how can I do otherwise than go? |
11582 | We know a secret which even the Great Folk who live on the mountain top can never learn; do n''t we, sisters? |
11582 | What did he mean? |
11582 | What is a girl good for? |
11582 | What is it called? |
11582 | What is the matter? |
11582 | What is the meaning of all this? |
11582 | What is the name of this town? |
11582 | What kind of entertainment have you? |
11582 | What kind of presents do you want? |
11582 | What must I do? |
11582 | What right has a Cretan to demand tribute in Athens? 11582 What shall we call our city?" |
11582 | What shall we give to this child? |
11582 | What''s this? |
11582 | What? 11582 Where is Cercyon, the wrestler?" |
11582 | Where is the center of the world? |
11582 | Where is the king? |
11582 | Where is the tooth? 11582 Where is this King Cecrops?" |
11582 | Which is the most perilous way? |
11582 | Which of these mighty ones shall we elect to be the protector and patron of our city? |
11582 | Which shall we choose? |
11582 | Who asked where is the center of the world? |
11582 | Who could it have been? |
11582 | Who has done all this? |
11582 | Who is my father, and why are you always watching and waiting and wishing that he would come? 11582 Who is this who comes so willingly?" |
11582 | Who is your master, fair maiden, that I should be afraid of him? |
11582 | Who says that Atalanta shall not go to the hunt? 11582 Who taught you to spin and weave so well?" |
11582 | Why did Jupiter give them to me if I should never use them, nor so much as look at them? |
11582 | Why do n''t you ask for Medusa''s head, for example? |
11582 | Why do n''t you ask for something worth the having? |
11582 | Why do they call him the Stretcher? 11582 Why shall I do that?" |
11582 | Why should I care for what Athena told me? |
11582 | Why should I flee? |
11582 | Will you swear that what you tell me is true? |
11582 | Would n''t you like to put away your arrows and your spear, and go and play with them? |
11582 | Yes, girl- faced stranger,said another,"what do you want here?" |
11582 | You have done so many wonderful things,said the king to Daedalus,"can you not do something to rid the land of this Minotaur?" |
11582 | Admetus went away feeling very sad; for who had ever heard of harnessing a lion and a wild boar together in a chariot? |
11582 | And she answered:"My child, do you see the great flat stone which lies there, half buried in the ground, and covered with moss and trailing ivy? |
11582 | And she kept on, weeping and weeping and weeping, and saying,"How can I live?" |
11582 | And what is that iron bed of his?" |
11582 | And yet what could he mean by the bones of our mother?" |
11582 | But tell us now, what shall be the fate of the seven youths and the seven maidens?" |
11582 | But what of that? |
11582 | But why do you come?" |
11582 | But why do you wish me to lift it?" |
11582 | Can she spin such skeins of yarn as these? |
11582 | Can she weave goods like mine? |
11582 | Could a mere girl outrun such fine fellows as they? |
11582 | Do you agree to this?" |
11582 | Do you still mean to say that I have not taught you how to spin and weave?" |
11582 | Do you think you can lift it?" |
11582 | Does Father Peneus turn you into a tree to keep you from me?" |
11582 | For how should he ever make good his promise and do the king''s bidding? |
11582 | For who among us knows what wealth is or what wisdom is? |
11582 | Have you lost them?" |
11582 | How now was he to build a city, with no one to help him? |
11582 | How was it that Alcestis had been given back to life? |
11582 | Into this house the seven youths and the seven maidens shall be thrust, and they shall be left there--""To perish with hunger?" |
11582 | Is it true that it is your wo nt to fasten them in this bed, and then chop off their legs or stretch them out until they fit the iron frame? |
11582 | Is there anything I can do for you?" |
11582 | So he turned to her, and said:"Am I not right, Medea, in bidding this young hero welcome?" |
11582 | So, when she could think of no other way to get rid of them, Atalanta called them together and said:"You want to marry me, do you? |
11582 | Surely it was not his shepherd? |
11582 | Tell me, is this true?" |
11582 | Then Theseus smiled, and said:"Is your turtle hungry to- day? |
11582 | Was it possible that a little bear could be changed into a pretty babe with fat white hands and with a beautiful gold chain around its neck? |
11582 | What does he want here?" |
11582 | What is the tribute which you require?" |
11582 | What more could he want? |
11582 | What shall I give you to reward you?" |
11582 | What was this Medusa''s head which he had so rashly promised to bring? |
11582 | Where are the Maidens who keep the golden apples of the Western Land? |
11582 | Where is he?" |
11582 | Where is the eye?" |
11582 | Which shall we choose?" |
11582 | Which way shall I go to find them?" |
11582 | Who is our mother, if it is not the Earth, from whom all living things have sprung? |
11582 | Would not each of them bring him a present to be given to her father? |
11582 | [ Illustration:"OUT OF THE YAWNING CREVICE THERE SPRANG A WONDERFUL CREATURE"]"What is his name?" |
11582 | and do you want me to feed him?" |
11582 | and what is this tribute of which he speaks?" |
11582 | asked Theseus--"to go by ship or to make the journey on foot round the great bend of land?" |
11582 | he cried,"is this the way in which the river saves you? |
11582 | the Theseus who has rid the world of the mountain robbers, and of Cercyon the wrestler, and of Procrustes, the pitiless Stretcher?" |
11582 | who was that sitting on the hilltop, with the sheep around him listening to his music? |
32326 | ''And who are you?'' |
32326 | ''And who is Sinis, and why does he bend pine trees?'' |
32326 | ''But who was to be sacrificed? |
32326 | ''But, my son, who shall defend me, who shall guide me, when I have lost thee, the light of mine eyes, and the strength of my arm?'' |
32326 | ''Can not you cross, mother?'' |
32326 | ''Did you find him asleep?'' |
32326 | ''Did you meet or hear of the man who killed the Maceman and slew the Pine- Bender, and kicked Sciron into the sea?'' |
32326 | ''Do you dread the Pine- Bender?'' |
32326 | ''Even so much?'' |
32326 | ''How can any man bring out that bedstead?'' |
32326 | ''Is it a god?'' |
32326 | ''Is it even so?'' |
32326 | ''Is it so?'' |
32326 | ''Is not that the Ship of Death, and must we not cast lots for the tribute to King Minos?'' |
32326 | ''Is the king weeping alone, while the fathers and mothers of my companions have dry eyes?'' |
32326 | ''Look at yourself in your shining shield: can you see yourself?'' |
32326 | ''My lord,''said he,''wherefore come you with the Fourteen? |
32326 | ''Shall I fear a lame man?'' |
32326 | ''So shall you carry the fleece to Iolcos, far away, but what is it to me where you go when you have gone from here? |
32326 | ''Tell me pray,''said Ulysses,''what land is this, and what men dwell here?'' |
32326 | ''Then you will try a fall with me? |
32326 | ''Unhappy that you are,''cried Theoclymenus,''what is coming upon you? |
32326 | ''Was it fairly done?'' |
32326 | ''We are friends?'' |
32326 | ''What is your name?'' |
32326 | ''What news, thou beggar man?'' |
32326 | ''What shall be done, oh king,''she cried,''to the man who speaks words of love dishonourable to the Queen of Argos?'' |
32326 | ''Where am I?'' |
32326 | ''Where are you, Hesperia, where are you hiding?'' |
32326 | ''Where is our eye? |
32326 | ''Where is your own country?'' |
32326 | ''Wherefore?'' |
32326 | ''Whither art thou going, unhappy one,''said the youth,''thou that knowest not the land? |
32326 | ''Who are you, maiden? |
32326 | ''Who? |
32326 | ''Whose side would you two take,''he asked,''if Ulysses came home? |
32326 | ''Why be so fierce?'' |
32326 | ''Why do you raise a glad cry, my children?'' |
32326 | ''Why do you wake us out of our sleep?'' |
32326 | ''Why hast thou slain Deiphobus and robbed me of my revenge?'' |
32326 | ''Why have you brought a great shield, Hermes?'' |
32326 | ''Why make so much trouble about one girl? |
32326 | ''Why not?'' |
32326 | ''Will nobody go as a spy among the Trojans?'' |
32326 | ''You guessed the token?'' |
32326 | ''You never helped me in my dangers on the sea,''said Ulysses,''and now do you make mock of me, or is this really mine own country?'' |
32326 | ''You swore to give me a gift,''said Ulysses,''and will you keep your oath?'' |
32326 | ''You walked from Troezene?'' |
32326 | But Hector said,''Have ye not had your fill of being shut up behind walls? |
32326 | But Ulysses drew his sword, and Circe, with a great cry, fell at his feet, saying,''Who art thou on whom the cup has no power? |
32326 | But a mortal man we have never seen, and wherefore have the gods sent you hither?'' |
32326 | But how was he to find out whether he should have children or not? |
32326 | But she kept hoping that Ulysses was still alive, and would return, though, if he did, how was he to turn so many strong young men out of his house? |
32326 | But will you not abide with us awhile, and be our guests?'' |
32326 | But, tell me, do the Trojans keep good watch, and where is Hector with his horses?'' |
32326 | But, when he came to himself, he sighed, and said:''How shall we meet the feud of all the kin of the slain men in Ithaca and the other islands?'' |
32326 | Calypso said to him:''So it is indeed thy wish to get thee home to thine own dear country even in this hour? |
32326 | Can they be fairies of the hill tops and the rivers, and the water meadows?'' |
32326 | Can you resist King Minos?'' |
32326 | Did I not slay Sinis and Sciron, Cercyon and Procrustes, and Periphetes? |
32326 | Do they practise wrestling at Troezene?'' |
32326 | From your legs and shoulders, and the iron club that you carry, methinks you are that stranger?'' |
32326 | Have_ you_ got it?'' |
32326 | How hast thou borne to be thus beaten and disgraced, and to come within the walls of Troy? |
32326 | Is there bad news from home that your father is dead, or mine; or are you sorry that the Greeks are getting what they deserve for their folly?'' |
32326 | Know you to what end they are sailing?'' |
32326 | On the threshold he sat down, like a beggar, and Polydectes saw him and cried to his servants,''Bring in that man; is it not the day of my feast? |
32326 | She alone of the three Gorgons was mortal, and could be slain, but who could slay her? |
32326 | Soon they saw the light shining up from the opening in the roof of the hall; and the wife of Dictys came running out, crying:''Good sport?'' |
32326 | The dream was in the shape of a girl who was a friend of Nausicaa, and it said:''Nausicaa, how has your mother such a careless daughter? |
32326 | Then Achilles rose again, and cried:''What coward has smitten me with a secret arrow from afar? |
32326 | Then Calchas----''here he stopped, saying:''But why tell a long tale? |
32326 | Then Oenone answered scornfully:''Why have you come here to me? |
32326 | Then Ulysses thought that his heart would break, for how should he, a living man, go down to the awful dwellings of the dead? |
32326 | Then his men said to each other,''What treasure is it that he keeps in the leather bag, a present from King Aeolus? |
32326 | This man has slain many of my sons, and if he slays thee whom have I to help me in my old age?'' |
32326 | Thou hast not the strength to fight the unconquerable son of Peleus, for if Hector could not slay him, what chance hast thou? |
32326 | Thus she spake, and called to her maidens of the fair tresses:''Halt, my maidens, whither flee ye at the sight of a man? |
32326 | We may ask, Why did Ulysses pass through the narrows between these two rocks? |
32326 | What cruel men have bound you?'' |
32326 | What do you here? |
32326 | What want you?'' |
32326 | When Perseus heard that word, he asked,''Where is King Polydectes?'' |
32326 | When they were alone he said to Danae:''Who is the father of this child?'' |
32326 | Where is Diomede, where is Achilles, where is Aias, that, men say, are your bravest? |
32326 | Where is your ship?'' |
32326 | Will none of them stand before my spear?'' |
32326 | Would you fight for him or for the wooers?'' |
32326 | Ye surely do not take him for an enemy? |
32326 | Yet, tell me, how does Minos treat the captives from Athens, kindly or unkindly?'' |
32326 | You will come thither now and again, Hesperia? |
32326 | answered the nymphs,''how shall you slay her, even if we knew the way to that island, which we know not?'' |
32326 | have we not here among us many Trojan prisoners, waiting till their friends pay their ransom in cattle and gold and bronze and iron? |
32326 | he said to himself;''is this a country of fierce and savage men? |
32326 | how shalt thou free thy friends from so great an enchantress?'' |
32326 | said Theseus,''and is it not easy, even if he be so terrible a fighter, for me to pass him in the darkness, for I walk by night?'' |
32326 | said Ulysses,''did I not make it with my own hands, with a standing tree for the bedpost? |
32326 | why did he not steer on the outer side of one or the other? |
32326 | Ã � geus determined to go to Delphi to ask his question: would he have sons to come after him? |
32242 | And can I assist your Majesty in obtaining it? |
32242 | And can not you rest the sky upon a mountain? |
32242 | And do you know,asked the damsel who had first spoken,"that a terrible dragon, with a hundred heads, keeps watch under the golden apple- tree?" |
32242 | And how big was the box? |
32242 | And how broad, I wonder, were the shoulders of Hercules? |
32242 | And how happens that? 32242 And how long a time,"asked the hero,"will it take you to get the golden apples?" |
32242 | And pray what would satisfy you? |
32242 | And was she not his sister? |
32242 | And what has become of the pitcher now? |
32242 | And what in the world can be inside of it? |
32242 | And what is there in this magnificent golden rose to make you cry? |
32242 | And what of it? |
32242 | And what say you, venerable sir? |
32242 | And what would become of Ben and Bruin? |
32242 | And where did it come from? |
32242 | And why not? |
32242 | And will you never regret the possession of it? |
32242 | And will you stay with us,asked Epimetheus,"forever and ever?" |
32242 | And would Tanglewood turn to smoke, as well as we? |
32242 | And, besides, what would my dear mother do, if her beloved son were turned into a stone? |
32242 | And, pray, who may the Old One be? |
32242 | But what must I do,asked Perseus,"when we meet them?" |
32242 | But where can the monster be? |
32242 | But who gave it to you? |
32242 | But, can you show me the way to the garden of the Hesperides? |
32242 | But,said Perseus,"why should I waste my time with these Three Gray Women? |
32242 | Ca n''t I see into a thick bush as easily as yourself? 32242 Can you believe,"asked Eustace,"that there was once a winged horse?" |
32242 | Can you tell me, pretty maidens,asked the stranger,"whether this is the right way to the garden of the Hesperides?" |
32242 | Cousin Eustace,said Sweet Fern,"did the box hold all the trouble that has ever come into the world?" |
32242 | Did you ever hear the like? |
32242 | Do n''t you think that I succeeded pretty well in catching that wonderful pony? |
32242 | Do you call that a wonderful exploit? |
32242 | Do you not believe,said he, looking at the damsels with a smile,"that such a blow would have crushed one of the dragon''s hundred heads?" |
32242 | Do you think that I was there, to measure him with a yard- stick? 32242 Dost thou bleed, my immortal horse?" |
32242 | Have we not an author for our next neighbor? |
32242 | Have you brought me the head of Medusa with the snaky locks? 32242 Have you performed your promise?" |
32242 | How could it fail? |
32242 | How, then, can I tell you what is inside? |
32242 | Is the sky very heavy? |
32242 | Is there something alive in the box? 32242 Just take the sky upon your head one instant, will you? |
32242 | My dear Epimetheus,cried Pandora,"have you heard this little voice?" |
32242 | O Primrose and Periwinkle, do you hear what he says? |
32242 | Oh, what shall we do, sisters? 32242 Pandora, what are you thinking of?" |
32242 | Perseus,said the voice,"why are you sad?" |
32242 | Pray what is the matter with you, this bright morning? |
32242 | Pray, my good host, whence did you gather them? |
32242 | Pray, my young friend,said he, as they grew familiar together,"what may I call your name?" |
32242 | Pray, what do you want with me? |
32242 | Pray, who are you, beautiful creature? |
32242 | Quicksilver? 32242 Shall I lift the lid again?" |
32242 | Shall we not meet her soon? |
32242 | So you have got the golden apples? |
32242 | Tell me,cried he, before the Old One was well awake,"which is the way to the garden of the Hesperides?" |
32242 | The Golden Touch,asked the stranger,"or your own little Marygold, warm, soft, and loving as she was an hour ago?" |
32242 | The Golden Touch,continued the stranger,"or a crust of bread?" |
32242 | Then you are not satisfied? |
32242 | Was it the girdle of Venus,inquired the prettiest of the damsels,"which makes women beautiful?" |
32242 | Well, and what of that? |
32242 | Well, friend Midas,said the stranger,"pray how do you succeed with the Golden Touch?" |
32242 | What can it be? |
32242 | What can that be? |
32242 | What could induce me? |
32242 | What do you want there? |
32242 | What in the world do you want here? 32242 What is the matter, father?" |
32242 | What sort of a staff had he? |
32242 | What will Epimetheus say? 32242 Whence can the box have come?" |
32242 | Where are you, Perseus? |
32242 | Where is she? |
32242 | Where? |
32242 | Which shall I strike at? |
32242 | Who are ye, wonder- working strangers? |
32242 | Who are you, down at my feet there? 32242 Who are you, inside of this naughty box?" |
32242 | Who are you? |
32242 | Whose garment is this,inquired Perseus,"that keeps rustling close beside me in the breeze?" |
32242 | Why do you squeeze me so hard? 32242 Will you be kind enough to tell me whether the fountain has any name?" |
32242 | You silly children, what do you want of more snow? |
32242 | Your sister? |
32242 | Alas, what had he done? |
32242 | And almost the first question which she put to him, after crossing the threshold, was this,--"Epimetheus, what have you in that box?" |
32242 | And how can I possibly tie it up again?" |
32242 | And how long was his little finger?" |
32242 | And now, my little auditors, shall I tell you something that will make you open your eyes very wide? |
32242 | And pray, adventurous traveler, what do you want there?" |
32242 | And this, then, is Pirene? |
32242 | And was Cousin Eustace with the party? |
32242 | And what could that favor be, unless to multiply his heaps of treasure? |
32242 | And what else did Bellerophon behold there? |
32242 | And what was to be done? |
32242 | And whence do you come, in that little cup?" |
32242 | And who are you?" |
32242 | And your companion there? |
32242 | And, as your next effort, what if you should try your hand on some one of the legends of Apollo?" |
32242 | And, on that island, what do you think he saw? |
32242 | And, truly, my dear little folks, did you ever hear of such a pitiable case in all your lives? |
32242 | Are there no better walkers than yourself in the island of Seriphus?" |
32242 | But are you quite sure that this will satisfy you?" |
32242 | But was it really and truly an old man? |
32242 | But, in the first place, do any of you know what a Gorgon is?" |
32242 | But, pray, have you lost a horse? |
32242 | Can not I carry the golden apples to the king, your cousin, much quicker than you could? |
32242 | Could he drag the plow so well, think you? |
32242 | Dear Bellerophon, do you not see that it is no bird? |
32242 | Do n''t you pity me, Primrose?" |
32242 | Do n''t you see me?" |
32242 | Do n''t you think her the exact picture of yourself? |
32242 | Do you know whether the winged horse Pegasus still haunts the Fountain of Pirene, as he used to do in your forefathers''days?" |
32242 | Do you perceive no nice workmanship in that? |
32242 | Do you think that you should be less curious than Pandora? |
32242 | Do you think you could tell us another as good?" |
32242 | Do you, then, love this king, your cousin, so very much?" |
32242 | Has he as strange a one?" |
32242 | Have I not faithfully kept my promise with you? |
32242 | Have you burnt your mouth?" |
32242 | Have you never made the sunshine dance into dark corners, by reflecting it from a bit of looking- glass? |
32242 | Have you not everything that your heart desired?" |
32242 | How could a helmet make him invisible, unless it were big enough for him to hide under it? |
32242 | How many days, think you, would he survive a continuance of this rich fare? |
32242 | How shall I make him believe that I have not looked into the box?" |
32242 | If any such misfortune were to happen, how could he ever get rid of the sky? |
32242 | If you were left alone with the box, might you not feel a little tempted to lift the lid? |
32242 | In those days, spectacles for common people had not been invented, but were already worn by kings; else, how could Midas have had any? |
32242 | Of that you may be certain; else how could the book go on a step farther? |
32242 | Of what use would wings be to a horse? |
32242 | On which side of us does it lie? |
32242 | Or could it be the beating of her heart? |
32242 | Or was it merely the singing in Pandora''s ears? |
32242 | Pray, why do you live in such a bad neighborhood?" |
32242 | Quicksilver?" |
32242 | So you have made a discovery, since yesterday?" |
32242 | Tell me, now, do you sincerely desire to rid yourself of this Golden Touch?" |
32242 | The ancient poets remodeled them at pleasure, and held them plastic in their hands; and why should they not be plastic in my hands as well?" |
32242 | What can have been the matter with them?" |
32242 | What could it be, indeed? |
32242 | What do you think has happened? |
32242 | What harm can there be in opening the box? |
32242 | What if you should take my burden on your shoulders, while I do your errand for you?" |
32242 | What in the world could we do without her? |
32242 | What mortal, even if he possessed a hundred lives, could hope to escape the fangs of such a monster? |
32242 | What say you, Sweet Fern, Dandelion, Clover, Periwinkle? |
32242 | What sort of a contrivance may that be, I wonder? |
32242 | Which of the three is Medusa?" |
32242 | Which of these two things do you think is really worth the most,--the gift of the Golden Touch, or one cup of clear cold water?" |
32242 | Why, friend, are you in your senses? |
32242 | Why, what could have become of the child? |
32242 | Would any of you, after hearing this story, be so foolish as to desire the faculty of changing things to gold?" |
32242 | Would he be less so by dinner time? |
32242 | Would it not be better to set out at once in search of the terrible Gorgons?" |
32242 | Yet, what other loaf could it possibly be? |
32242 | Your mother, beholding you safe and sound, will shed tears of joy; and what can she do more, should you win ever so great a victory? |

32242 | cried little Marygold, who was a very affectionate child,"pray what is the matter? |
32242 | cried these kind- hearted old people,"what has become of our poor neighbors?" |
32242 | must you go so soon?" |
32242 | shouted Hercules, very wrathfully,"do you intend to make me bear this burden forever?" |

32242 | what shall we do? |
32242 | why did n''t we go without our supper?" |
32242 | why have you opened this wicked box?" |
40476 | A man can die but once, and how better than in trying to save his fellows? |
40476 | Ah, father, thinkest thou that aught could be more bitter than to sit in the seat of kings whilst thou wanderest a beggar on the face of the earth? 40476 Ah, my friend, how can I thank thee? |
40476 | Ah, sire,they cried,"how can we tell thee the evil tidings? |
40476 | Alcestis, Alcestis, where art thou? 40476 Am I a goddess,"she asked,"or is this to be dead? |
40476 | And thy vow,she asked--"hast thou found release from it?" |
40476 | And thy vow? |
40476 | And whence came the apples? |
40476 | And who gave me to thee to slay on the barren mountain- side? |
40476 | And who has lifted the veil from thine eyes, my son? |
40476 | And, knowing this, thou didst stake thy life on my love? |
40476 | Are not midnight and noonday fair to thine eyes? |
40476 | Art thou close at hand? |
40476 | Art thou content to come home with me, my child,she asked,"or has the glamour of the world ensnared thee?" |
40476 | Art thou she who calls me? |
40476 | Because thou hast trespassed unlawfully on my domain, dost thou think I will grant thee thy boon? |
40476 | But if the queen, thy wife, may return to the earth in the spring- time, may not Eurydice, too, come back at thy command? |
40476 | But if those who venture too far never return, how shall I bear back the essence of undying beauty in the casket? |
40476 | By what right,asked Toxeus,"shall one bear off the trophy of a hunt in which each one of us has played his part?" |
40476 | Can a snail outstrip a deer? |
40476 | Can it be-- can it really be my son? |
40476 | Child of Earth, what dost thou here? |
40476 | Did the winning of the bull bring sorrow either to thee or to me? |
40476 | Dost thou accept the condition, then? |
40476 | Dost thou love this maiden with all thy heart and soul, Admetus? |
40476 | Dost thou think me so faithless, OEnone? |
40476 | Farewell, OEnone? 40476 Farewell?" |
40476 | Good mother,she said,"how many years didst thou say we two have lived in this wave- washed tower?" |
40476 | Hast thou swept my garner, Psyche, and sorted the grain each after its kind? |
40476 | Have I been deceived? 40476 Have I not told thee,"he said impatiently,"Narcissus?" |
40476 | Have I warmed the blood back to thy heart, fair maid? |
40476 | How came she to die? |
40476 | How camest thou to make such a vow? |
40476 | How long will it be, my father,she asked,"ere we are troubled no more with strangers in our halls?" |
40476 | How may that be? |
40476 | I know it,cried Admetus;"but why must I die before my time? |
40476 | Is she a stranger, or one of the family? |
40476 | Is there no shorter way I can go and reach her quickly? |
40476 | Is thine own sire dead, then? |
40476 | It is no mockery, as who should know better than I who won her? |
40476 | Left undone? |
40476 | Master,cried Admetus,"what meanest thou?" |
40476 | Mine evil fate, sisters? 40476 Mine own lord,"she said,"what can there be that I would not gladly do for thee?" |
40476 | Must I heal thee for the sake of Helen? |
40476 | Must I starve, then, because a strange girl is dead? |
40476 | My child, why wouldst thou go when thou knowest that the world can only bring thee sorrow? 40476 My father,"he cried,"look round upon the hills; hast thou ever seen them so fair as they have been this day?" |
40476 | My lord,she said,"will a young lion step into the cage of his own free will, think you?" |
40476 | My son,she cried--"where is my son?" |
40476 | O Paris, what is power without wisdom? 40476 O beardless innocent,"he said,"who gave thee power over life and death? |
40476 | O god of Light, is there nothing that will touch their hearts? 40476 O kind little people,"she cried,"how can I thank you?" |
40476 | O lady goddesses,he asked,"to which of you shall I give it?" |
40476 | O master, do I not see before me the lion lying tamely by the sheep and the wolf by the side of the lamb? 40476 O mightiest of birds, how can I thank thee?" |
40476 | O most wonderful,he whispered,"who art thou?" |
40476 | OEdipus, OEdipus, why dost thou tarry? |
40476 | Oh, Orpheus, what have I done? 40476 Oh, overbold and rash,"they cried,"thinkest thou to succeed where so many have failed?" |
40476 | One of thy children, can it be, or thy father? |
40476 | Power and wisdom, Paris? 40476 Psyche, Psyche,"she heard,"why wilt thou pollute my stones with blood? |
40476 | Psyche, what doest thou here? 40476 Seest thou not the fire still red from the burning of the sacrifice? |
40476 | Shall I sing thee a song, Eurydice-- the song thou hast sown in my heart? |
40476 | Stranger,they said,"who art thou to throw away thy life thus heedlessly? |
40476 | Surely, my child,he said,"among all these princes there is one whom thou couldst love?" |
40476 | Tell me,he cried,"who art thou and why dost thou call me?" |
40476 | The Fates? 40476 Then that was the one thing better than speed in the race?" |
40476 | Then why doth he hide his face? 40476 Think you that gold can pay for a living soul?" |
40476 | Thou art not angry, then? |
40476 | Thou wilt let me speak my love? 40476 Was there none left,"he asked,"who saw the deed and lived to tell the tale?" |
40476 | What ails thee, Hero? 40476 What didst thou say, father?" |
40476 | What dost thou here, Orpheus? |
40476 | What else can I do, master? |
40476 | What hast thou come for now, thou sprite? |
40476 | What have I done that I should be tortured on my bridal night? |
40476 | What is this famous riddle that none can solve? |
40476 | What is this strange thing? |
40476 | What meanest thou, sire? |
40476 | What meanest thou? |
40476 | What meanest thou? |
40476 | What meanest thou? |
40476 | What sayest thou now, thou whelp? 40476 What sayest thou to the words of the oracle that doomed her to we d a monster? |
40476 | What sayest thou, bearer of ill news that thou art? |
40476 | What talk is this of doves and hawks? 40476 What will you do when she tires of my tales?" |
40476 | What wouldst thou with me, Admetus? |
40476 | When first I stood within thy halls thou didst say to me,''Stranger, who art thou, and whose blood is on thy hands?'' 40476 Where art thou?" |
40476 | Where hast thou learnt to run like the wind? |
40476 | Where have they buried her? |
40476 | Whither goest thou, O king? |
40476 | Who art thou, maiden? |
40476 | Who art thou, stranger, to make this bold request? 40476 Who art thou, stranger?" |
40476 | Who art thou,he said,"a foundling and a shepherd''s foster- son, to enter in the lists against the sons of kings?" |
40476 | Who art thou? |
40476 | Who art thou? |
40476 | Who calls me? |
40476 | Who is he? |
40476 | Who is it that calls me in the voice of the living? |
40476 | Who is my mother Calliope? |
40476 | Who is this young god, who can bring light to the darkness and life to the realms of the dead? |
40476 | Who taught thee thy magic song, Orpheus? |
40476 | Why am I shut up here, all alone? |
40476 | Why ask so poor a sacrifice? 40476 Why couldst thou not trust me, Admetus?" |
40476 | Why do the gods torment me? |
40476 | Why dost thou call me? |
40476 | Wouldst thou lay down thy life for her? |
40476 | Ye gods, what have I done? |
40476 | Yet, where failure is death, surely a man should think twice? |
40476 | Young man,he said,"who art thou, and who is thy father?" |
40476 | ''_ Is Mr. E. V. Lucas going to provide its with one of the prettiest books of each Christmas season? |
40476 | A glimpse at his form will tell thee that our tale is true; and if by some strange chance it be not so, what harm can one glance do?" |
40476 | Ah, lady, canst thou love one who sent thee to thy death?" |
40476 | Am I not even now in the prime of my manhood, when others look forward to many a long year of joyous life? |
40476 | Among the immortal gods, where doth he take his place, and why is he not here to greet us?" |
40476 | And the gods who had given him understanding sent light into his heart, and boldly he answered,"What can this creature be but man, O Sphinx? |
40476 | Are there none at home to mourn thee and no kingdom thou shouldst rule? |
40476 | Are they lower than the beasts, then, and will not listen to the voice of reason?" |
40476 | Art thou willing to run in the race?" |
40476 | As the tiny fingers closed round hers, and the soft head pressed against her, she murmured,"Surely, so little a thing can do no harm? |
40476 | At length he looked up, and said,"Thou seekest the great god Eros? |
40476 | Believest thou that I can do this thing?" |
40476 | Beside love, what is power, what is wisdom? |
40476 | But Aphrodite answered,"Why dost thou tremble, Psyche? |
40476 | But his father answered,"Dost thou think that because thou lovest the sunlight thy father loves it not?" |
40476 | But tell me, who art thou, that savest damsels in distress, and drivest away their sorrow with thy wild piping and dance?" |
40476 | But what did the priestess mean when she bade Archias go to the isle whose waters were wedded with the waters of his own native land? |
40476 | But whether it was truly a curse or a blessing, who shall say? |
40476 | Canst thou forgive the lie?" |
40476 | Couldst thou not trust me, who gave thee all the happiness thou hast ever known?" |
40476 | Did I not stand before thee in the path this day and lift my hands in prayer to Hecate? |
40476 | Did I not tell thee that thy first look would be thy last? |
40476 | Dost thou not ask me that question now once more ere we part?" |
40476 | Had he not held an oar in the good ship_ Argo_, whose fame had reached to the uttermost parts of the earth? |
40476 | Has he hidden some misfortune from me?" |
40476 | Hast ever seen his face, child, that thou callest him good and great?" |
40476 | Hast thou no mother or father to mourn thee if any evil chance befall, or any lover who is longing for thy return? |
40476 | Hast thou the strength for this?" |
40476 | Have I not answered aright and guessed thy famous riddle?" |
40476 | Have I spoken plainly now?" |
40476 | Have I thy leave to sing before thee in thy halls?" |
40476 | Have ye forgotten the days when the name of OEdipus was honoured throughout the land? |
40476 | Have ye forgotten the man- devouring Sphinx and the days of darkness? |
40476 | He calls,''Alcestis, why dost thou tarry? |
40476 | His friends would come up from the town to look at his work, or to buy, and would say to him,"Pygmalion, art thou not lonely here, all alone? |
40476 | How can I doubt thy power?" |
40476 | How can I thank thee?" |
40476 | How long is a woman''s life, good nurse?" |
40476 | How wilt thou look when one of thy masters is laid in the grave? |
40476 | How, then, can they ask me a boon?" |
40476 | How, then, in the day of my triumph, should I forget them?" |
40476 | I did as she bade me, and surely we have not been unhappy, thou and I, together, all these years?" |
40476 | If I have sinned in leaving Menelaus, shall I not sin again in leaving Paris? |
40476 | If it come soon or late, what matter? |
40476 | If music may live without sound or words, may not the soul live too without bones and flesh? |
40476 | Is that not so?" |
40476 | Knowest thou not that doubt driveth away love? |
40476 | Knowest thou not that long ago I loved thee not, because thy beauty taught men to forget my dues, and mine own son didst thou lead to disobey my word? |
40476 | Knowest thou that yonder stream is a jet which springeth up from dark Cocytus, the River of Wailing, which watereth the shores of the dead? |
40476 | Let them but come and look at this fair home of mine, and surely it will not harm me or thee, my dear lord?" |
40476 | Must we set at nought the will of Heaven for the sake of laws that man has made? |
40476 | My children, where are you? |
40476 | My master and mistress live? |
40476 | Nay, doth not every gift of beauty come from thee, O mighty one? |
40476 | Nay, surely, thou wouldst not be so hard of heart? |
40476 | Or shall my sin be less if I flee from the man I love, to go with him I love not? |
40476 | Poor little ones, what will you do without me? |
40476 | Say, wilt thou receive me in thy halls, or wilt thou turn me forth into the storm and darkness?" |
40476 | Say, wilt thou take him or no?" |
40476 | Seest thou not the tall ram yonder by the thorn- bush? |
40476 | Seest thou yon shining river? |
40476 | She had run twice as far as he, but what matter if he had not outsped her? |
40476 | Should I, her priestess, stay away, when even the meanest of the folk gather together in her honour? |
40476 | So he said,"O lady goddesses, who am I that I should judge between you? |
40476 | What are these but empty words at which men vainly grasp? |
40476 | What difference can it make?" |
40476 | What doth she here?" |
40476 | What fate shall be hers?" |
40476 | What if the gods have sent him to comfort our old age, and rule the kingdom when we are dead? |
40476 | What if, after all, there be something in the tale? |
40476 | What is this thing, never the same, yet not many, but one?" |
40476 | What mean ye? |
40476 | What more could we do for them? |
40476 | What rival hath urged thee to this lie, hoping to drive me from the throne of Thebes? |
40476 | What war can come if I go to Troy for the sake of a bull?" |
40476 | What wilt thou?" |
40476 | Who am I that thou shouldst be my servant?" |
40476 | Who but Aphrodite all- powerful? |
40476 | Who is he, then? |
40476 | Who is the woman who is dead?" |
40476 | Who maketh two hearts to cleave together? |
40476 | Why dost thou flee from me? |
40476 | Why dost thou not take thee a wife, and rear up children to be a comfort to thee in thine old age?" |
40476 | Why farewell?" |
40476 | Why should I die before my time? |
40476 | Why, out of them all, hath Death laid his hand on me?" |
40476 | Will ye slay the saviour of your city? |
40476 | Wilt thou come with me, O king, whither the gods shall lead, and learn the secret of my grave?" |
40476 | Wilt thou take me for thine herdsman-- yea or nay?" |
40476 | Yet where is thy lord? |

8418 | A WOMAN Say, friends, what think ye? |
8418 | AGAVE But how should we be on the hills this day? |
8418 | AGAVE Dost praise it? |
8418 | AGAVE In what place was it? |
8418 | AGAVE Laid in due state? |
8418 | AGAVE Should God be like a proud man in his rage? |
8418 | AGAVE The daughters.... LEADER The daughters? |
8418 | AGAVE What seest thou here to chide, or not to bless? |
8418 | AGAVE Where shall I turn me else? |
8418 | AGAVE Who slew him?--How came I to hold this thing? |
8418 | AGAVE Why went he to Kithaeron? |
8418 | ANOTHER Nay, are there not men there? |
8418 | Ah wife, sweet wife, what name Can fit thine heavy lot? |
8418 | All That are or shall be? |
8418 | Am I enough trod down? |
8418 | And couldst thou dream that_ I_...? |
8418 | And how runs thy law? |
8418 | And if for once thou hast slipped chain, Give thanks!--Or shall I knot thine arms again? |
8418 | And must all lovers die, then? |
8418 | And must thou, then, turn And struggle? |
8418 | And what help seek, O wounded to despair? |
8418 | And where Gone straying from my wholesome mind? |
8418 | Are they the same? |
8418 | Are we not told His is the soul of that dead life of old That sprang from mine own daughter? |
8418 | At last he brushed his sobs away, and spake:"Why this fond loitering? |
8418 | Aye, men will rail that I forgot my years, To dance and wreath with ivy these white hairs; What recks it? |
8418 | Blasphemies That crave the very gibbet? |
8418 | But here, Out in the wide sea fallen, and full of fear, Hopest thou so easily to swim to land? |
8418 | But soft, methinks a footstep sounds even now within the hall;''Tis he; how think ye he will stand, and what words speak withal? |
8418 | But what is it? |
8418 | But why this subtle talk? |
8418 | CADMUS And in all Thebes shall no man dance but we? |
8418 | CADMUS And that wild tremour, is it with thee still? |
8418 | CADMUS And what child in Echîon''s house had birth? |
8418 | CADMUS Is it the same, or changèd in thy sight? |
8418 | CADMUS O Child, why wilt thou reach thine arms to me, As yearns the milk- white swan, when old swans die? |
8418 | CADMUS O cruel Truth, is this thine home- coming? |
8418 | CADMUS Shall things of dust the Gods''dark ways despise? |
8418 | CADMUS Thou bearest in thine arms an head-- what head? |
8418 | CADMUS Wears it the likeness of a lion to thee? |
8418 | CADMUS What husband led thee of old from mine abode? |
8418 | Canst lead me hence Unseen of any? |
8418 | Clasped he his death indeed, Clasped the rod? |
8418 | Clinging to my sleeve? |
8418 | DIONYSUS And seeing ye must, what is it that ye wait? |
8418 | DIONYSUS Come, say what it shall be, My doom; what dire thing wilt thou do to me? |
8418 | DIONYSUS Doth it change So soon, all thy desire to see this strange Adoring? |
8418 | DIONYSUS Fell ye so quick despairing, when beneath the Gate I passed? |
8418 | DIONYSUS Said I not, or didst thou mark not me, There was One living that should set me free? |
8418 | DIONYSUS So much? |
8418 | DIONYSUS So soft? |
8418 | DIONYSUS What Dost fear? |
8418 | DIONYSUS What, can not God o''erleap a wall? |
8418 | DIONYSUS When I look on thee, it seems I see their very selves!--But stay; why streams That lock abroad, not where I laid it, crossed Under the coif? |
8418 | DIONYSUS Wilt thou be led By me, and try the venture? |
8418 | DIONYSUS Wouldst have them slay thee dead? |
8418 | DIONYSUS Wouldst liefer draw the sword and spill men''s blood? |
8418 | DIONYSUS Wouldst wreck the Nymphs''wild temples, and the brown Rocks, where Pan pipes at noonday? |
8418 | DIONYSUS Yet cravest thou such A sight as would much grieve thee? |
8418 | DIONYSUS(_ while tending him_) And if thou prove Their madness true, aye, more than true, what love And thanks hast thou for me? |
8418 | Did I fall in some god''s snare? |
8418 | Dost see This sunlight and this earth? |
8418 | Dost thou mark us not, nor cherish, Who implore thee, and adore thee? |
8418 | Doth Hecat hold thee perchance, or Pan? |
8418 | Doth she of the Mountains work her ban, Or the dread Corybantes bind thee? |
8418 | Dreams? |
8418 | Drive me from thy sight unheard? |
8418 | For thine ear bent low to a lying Queen, For thine heart so swift amid things unseen? |
8418 | Force me? |
8418 | Gibes of the unknown wanderer? |
8418 | HENCHMAN How then? |
8418 | HENCHMAN Ye women, whither shall I go to seek King Theseus? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS Am I so cool? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS Dost see me, Mistress, nearing my last sleep? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS Father, where art thou? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS O God, why hast Thou made this gleaming snare, Woman, to dog us on the happy earth? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS O ye great Gods, wherefore unlock not I My lips, ere yet ye have slain me utterly, Ye whom I love most? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS The Cyprian? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS Thou seekst my heart, my tears? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS What wouldst thou? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS Where shall I turn me? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS Who guide thy chariot, keep thy shrine- flowers fresh? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS Who now shall hunt with thee or hold thy quiver? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS Why, when thy speech was all so guiltless? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS Wilt verily cast me now beyond thy pale, Not wait for Time, the lifter of the veil? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS Wilt weigh nor oath nor faith nor prophet''s word To prove me? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS Ye stones, will ye not speak? |
8418 | HIPPOLYTUS(_ misunderstanding him; then guessing at something of the truth_) What? |
8418 | HUNTSMAN And good words love, and grace in all men''s sight? |
8418 | HUNTSMAN Clean? |
8418 | HUNTSMAN How deem''st thou of the Gods? |
8418 | HUNTSMAN Knowest thou one law, that through the world has won? |
8418 | HUNTSMAN My Prince-- for"Master"name I none but God-- Gave I good counsel, wouldst thou welcome it? |
8418 | HUNTSMAN Why then wilt thou be proud, and worship not... HIPPOLYTUS Whom? |
8418 | Ha, have I found the way to sting thee, there? |
8418 | Hast thou aught beyond? |
8418 | Hast thou no foes about thee, then, that one-- Thou vile King!--must be turned against thy son? |
8418 | Hast thou played thy part? |
8418 | Hath Time struck that hoary brow? |
8418 | Hath some friend proved false? |
8418 | Have I not welcomed thee? |
8418 | He is no man, but a wonder; Did the Earth- Child not beget him, As a red Giant, to set him Against God, against the Thunder? |
8418 | Heard ye not? |
8418 | Heard ye what she said? |
8418 | His own house, or where? |
8418 | How can I too much hate you, while the ill Ye work upon the world grows deadlier still? |
8418 | How closed the snare Of Heaven to slay the shamer of my blood? |
8418 | How did he die? |
8418 | How didst thou break thy cage? |
8418 | How hast thou''scaped the man of sin? |
8418 | How hath it sped? |
8418 | How many fathers, when a son has strayed And toiled beneath the Cyprian, bring him aid, Not chiding? |
8418 | How many, deem''st thou, of men good and wise Know their own home''s blot, and avert their eyes? |
8418 | How? |
8418 | I would not have mine honour hidden away; Why should I have my shame before men''s eyes Kept living? |
8418 | If thou die now, shall child of thine be heir To Theseus''castle? |
8418 | In full day Or vision of night? |
8418 | In the house?--Phaedra, what fear is this? |
8418 | In thine own Nysa, thou our help alone? |
8418 | Is he in this dwelling? |
8418 | Is it the stain of sins done long ago, Some fell God still remembereth, That must so dim and fret my life with death? |
8418 | Is that so strange? |
8418 | Is there any way With man''s sore heart, save only to forget? |
8418 | Is there not blood before thine eyes even now? |
8418 | Kithaeron''s steeps and all that in them is-- How say''st thou?--Could my shoulders lift the whole? |
8418 | Know I not the fire And perilous flood of a young man''s desire, Desperate as any woman, and as blind, When Cypris stings? |
8418 | LEADER And Pentheus, O Mother, Thy child? |
8418 | LEADER Can he not look into her face and know? |
8418 | LEADER Canst thou not force her, then? |
8418 | LEADER How? |
8418 | LEADER I praise this? |
8418 | LEADER Kithaeron? |
8418 | LEADER O Light in Darkness, is it thou? |
8418 | LEADER Oh, what was left if thou wert gone? |
8418 | LEADER Thou art glad? |
8418 | LEADER Thou know''st no cause? |
8418 | LEADER What sound, what word, O Women, Friend, makes that sharp terror start Out at thy lips? |
8418 | LEADER What wilt thou? |
8418 | LEADER What, O my King? |
8418 | LEADER What, is she mad? |
8418 | LEADER Where in the wildwood? |
8418 | LEADER Where wilt thou turn thee, where? |
8418 | LEADER Who first came nigh him? |
8418 | LEADER Who was next in the band on him? |
8418 | Love?--Oh, what say''st thou? |
8418 | MESSENGER And deem''st thou Thebes so beggared, so forlorn Of manhood, as to sit beneath thy scorn? |
8418 | Me, far away And innocent of sin? |
8418 | My wife? |
8418 | NURSE Have I not tried all ways, and all in vain? |
8418 | NURSE O Son, what wilt thou? |
8418 | NURSE Some enemy''s spell hath made thy spirit dim? |
8418 | NURSE That stings thee? |
8418 | NURSE Theseus, the King, hath wronged thee in man''s wise? |
8418 | NURSE Thou seest? |
8418 | NURSE Thou wouldst dread everything!--What dost thou dread? |
8418 | NURSE What mean''st thou, Child? |
8418 | NURSE What wouldst thou with them-- fancies all!-- Thy hunting and thy fountain brink? |
8418 | NURSE Who knows? |
8418 | NURSE Why hide what honours thee? |
8418 | NURSE(_ after a pause, wondering_) Thy hand is clean, O Child, from stain of blood? |
8418 | NURSE(_ starting_) On thee? |
8418 | NURSE(_ suddenly throwing herself in supplication at PHAEDRA''S feet_) Not wrong me, whom thou wouldst all desolate leave? |
8418 | Nay, Child, what profits silence? |
8418 | Nay, dare ye hear The desolate cry of the young Queen''s misery? |
8418 | Nay, when in might she swoops, no strength can stem Cypris; and if man yields him, she is sweet; But is he proud and stubborn? |
8418 | Never more, then, shalt thou lay Thine hand to this white beard, and speak to me Thy"Mother''s Father"; ask"Who wrongeth thee? |
8418 | No; not secret? |
8418 | Nor when the unrest began? |
8418 | Not Pittheus? |
8418 | O Priest, is this thy face? |
8418 | O dead in anger, dead in shame, The long, long wrestling ere thy breath was cold? |
8418 | O fell, fell steeds that my own hand fed, Have ye maimed me and slain, that loved me of yore? |
8418 | O ill- starred Wife, What brought this blackness over all thy life? |
8418 | O wild young steed, what prophet knows The power that holds thy curb, and throws Thy swift heart from its race? |
8418 | Oh, tell me, why, Why art thou silent? |
8418 | Oh, what echoes thus? |
8418 | Oh, why speak things to please our ears? |
8418 | One of my children torn from me? |
8418 | Or are they dumb as death, This herd of thralls, my high house harboureth? |
8418 | Or did some fresh thing befall? |
8418 | Or doth she seek to die? |
8418 | Or in thine ear Whispered some slander? |
8418 | Or the god That rules thee, is he other than our gods? |
8418 | Or think of ways To trap the secret of the sick heart''s pain? |
8418 | Or this bare hand And shoulder to the crags, to wrench them down? |
8418 | Or were it best to wait Darkened for evermore, and deem your state Not misery, though ye know no happiness? |
8418 | Our rule doth curse the tempters, and no less Who yieldeth to the tempters.--How, thou say''st,"Dupes that I jest at?" |
8418 | PENTHEUS And after? |
8418 | PENTHEUS And comest thou first to Thebes, to have thy God Established? |
8418 | PENTHEUS And how Mean''st thou the further plan? |
8418 | PENTHEUS And so thine eyes Saw this God plain; what guise had he? |
8418 | PENTHEUS And what good bring they to the worshipper? |
8418 | PENTHEUS And whence these revelations, that thy band Spreadeth in Hellas? |
8418 | PENTHEUS Aye, and next? |
8418 | PENTHEUS How comest thou here? |
8418 | PENTHEUS How is thy worship held, by night or day? |
8418 | PENTHEUS Say; stand I not as Ino stands, or she Who bore me? |
8418 | PENTHEUS Shall it be bars of iron? |
8418 | PENTHEUS Thou trickster? |
8418 | PENTHEUS What like be they, these emblems? |
8418 | PENTHEUS What of the city streets? |
8418 | PENTHEUS What way Descended he upon thee? |
8418 | PENTHEUS What? |
8418 | PENTHEUS Who? |
8418 | PENTHEUS(_ brutally_) Is there a Zeus there, that can still beget Young Gods? |
8418 | PENTHEUS(_ not listening to him_) In my right hand Is it, or thus, that I should bear the wand To be most like to them? |
8418 | PHAEDRA A way? |
8418 | PHAEDRA Is it a potion or a salve? |
8418 | PHAEDRA My children? |
8418 | PHAEDRA My hand is clean; but is my heart, O God? |
8418 | PHAEDRA What man''s? |
8418 | PHAEDRA Why art thou ever subtle? |
8418 | PHAEDRA(_ again hesitating_) What is it that they mean, who say men... love? |
8418 | PHAEDRA(_ calmly_) Why, what thing should it be? |
8418 | PHAEDRA(_ musing_) Die; but how die? |
8418 | PHAEDRA(_ rising and trying to move away_) What wouldst thou? |
8418 | Pollution, is it? |
8418 | Said I not-- Knew I not thine heart?--to name To no one soul this that is now my shame? |
8418 | Say, Oh, say What thing hath come to thee? |
8418 | Sayst thou so? |
8418 | See I not In motley fawn- skins robed the vision- seer Teiresias? |
8418 | Shall I bow my head beneath this wrong, And cower to thee? |
8418 | Shall I feel the dew on my throat, and the stream Of wind in my hair? |
8418 | Shall I hold my peace? |
8418 | Shall I set My whole tale forth, or veil the stranger part? |
8418 | Shall our white feet gleam In the dim expanses? |
8418 | Shall strangers hear this tone So wild, and thoughts so fever- flown? |
8418 | Shall the hall Of Pentheus racked in ruin fall? |
8418 | Should the gates of Pentheus quell me, or his darkness make me fast? |
8418 | Should we haste within, And from her own hand''s knotting loose the Queen? |
8418 | Silent still? |
8418 | Some dire deed beyond recall? |
8418 | Some new stroke hath touched, unknown to me, The sister cities of my sovranty? |
8418 | Sprang there from thy father''s blood Thy little soul all lonely? |
8418 | Stand I tainted here, Though utterly innocent? |
8418 | TEIRESIAS Or prove our wit on Heaven''s high mysteries? |
8418 | THESEUS A fit of the old cold anguish? |
8418 | THESEUS Gone? |
8418 | THESEUS Ho, Women, and what means this loud acclaim Within the house? |
8418 | THESEUS How sayst thou? |
8418 | THESEUS O heart of man, what height wilt venture next? |
8418 | THESEUS Oh, horror piled on horror!--Here is writ... Nay, who could bear it, who could speak of it? |
8418 | THESEUS Thou leav''st me clear of murder? |
8418 | THESEUS What? |
8418 | THESEUS What? |
8418 | THESEUS(_ as though unmoved_) How slain? |
8418 | Tell me all-- That held her? |
8418 | The Wild Bull of the Tide? |
8418 | The woman''s? |
8418 | Then Is it a sickness meet for aid of men? |
8418 | There was a Queen, an Amazon... NURSE Hippolytus, say''st thou? |
8418 | Think thee now; How toucheth this the part of Dionyse To hold maids pure perforce? |
8418 | Thou bitter King, art thou glad withal For thy murdered son? |
8418 | Thou fearest for the damsels? |
8418 | Thou hast heard of Tmolus, the bright hill of flowers? |
8418 | Thou, Zeus, dost see me? |
8418 | To stand from fear set free, to breathe and wait; To hold a hand uplifted over Hate; And shall not Loveliness be loved for ever? |
8418 | To stand from fear set free, to breathe and wait; To hold a hand uplifted over Hate; And shall not Loveliness be loved for ever? |
8418 | To what friend''s door Betake me, banished on a charge so sore? |
8418 | Too much? |
8418 | Was I some fond False plotter, that I schemed to win through her Thy castle''s heirdom? |
8418 | Was he naught, then, to you, That ye cast him away, The stainless and true, From the old happy places? |
8418 | Was it Thy will to make Man, why his birth Through Love and Woman? |
8418 | Was that poor flesh so passing fair, beyond All woman''s loveliness? |
8418 | Was there some other man, whose wife He had like mine denied, that sought his life? |
8418 | What am I carrying here? |
8418 | What call ye these? |
8418 | What could I but despair? |
8418 | What dost thou bid me seek for there? |
8418 | What doth silence know Of skill to stem the bitter flood of woe? |
8418 | What else is Wisdom? |
8418 | What else is Wisdom? |
8418 | What end comes to thy daring and thy crime? |
8418 | What flesh bare this child? |
8418 | What garb wilt thou bestow About me? |
8418 | What help, O ye who love me, can come near, What god or man appear, To aid a thing so evil and so lost? |
8418 | What is it with her? |
8418 | What is this death- fraught mystery? |
8418 | What joy hath her bridal brought her? |
8418 | What malign Swift stroke, O heart discounselled, leapt on thee? |
8418 | What man''s son? |
8418 | What oaths, what subtle words, shall stronger be Than this dead hand, to clear the guilt from thee? |
8418 | What of man''s endeavour Or God''s high grace so lovely and so great? |
8418 | What of man''s endeavour Or God''s high grace, so lovely and so great? |
8418 | What ominous cry half- heard Hath leapt upon thine heart? |
8418 | What shelter now is left or guard? |
8418 | What sought he? |
8418 | What spell to loose the iron knot of fate? |
8418 | What was it? |
8418 | What will she say? |
8418 | What wouldst thou? |
8418 | What wouldst thou? |
8418 | What, will ye speak? |
8418 | What? |
8418 | What? |
8418 | What? |
8418 | When will this breathing end in that last deep Pain that is painlessness? |
8418 | Whence have ye brought him? |
8418 | Where is he? |
8418 | Where then shall I stand, where tread The dance and toss this bowed and hoary head? |
8418 | Wherefore did she die? |
8418 | Who espies us? |
8418 | Who freed thee from the snare? |
8418 | Who stints thine honour, or with malice stirs Thine heart? |
8418 | Why do we let their handmaids pass the gate? |
8418 | Why should we tarry? |
8418 | Why was thine hand so strong, thine heart so bold? |
8418 | Why? |
8418 | Will no one bring me a swift blade? |
8418 | Wilt thou slay thy kin? |
8418 | Wore he the woman''s weed? |
8418 | Wottest thou three prayers were thine Of sure fulfilment, from thy Sire divine? |
8418 | Yea, the Death that came Ablaze from heaven of old, the same Hot splendour of the shaft of God? |
8418 | Yon sun shines twofold in the sky, Thebes twofold and the Wall of Seven Gates.... And is it a Wild Bull this, that walks and waits Before me? |
8418 | [ PENTHEUS_ has started as though to seek his army at the gate._] PENTHEUS Aye, if I obey Mine own slaves''will; how else? |
8418 | [_ At these words PHAEDRA gradually recovers herself and pays attention._] PHAEDRA What have I said? |
8418 | [_ Fire leaps upon the Tomb of Semelê._] A MAIDEN Ah, saw ye, marked ye there the flame From Semelê''s enhallowed sod Awakened? |
8418 | [_ She throws herself on the ground close to the statue._] CHORUS_ Some Women_ O Women, have ye heard? |
8418 | _ A Maiden_ Oh, where art thou? |
8418 | _ All_ Still my prayer toward thee quivers, Dircê, still to thee I hie me; Why, O Blessed among Rivers, Wilt thou fly me and deny me? |
8418 | _ Another_ Who lingers in the road? |
8418 | _ Divers Maidens_ Where is the Home for me? |
8418 | _ Others_ How wilt thou bear thee through this livelong day, Lost, and thine evil naked to the light? |
8418 | _ Others_ Nay, is it sin that upon thee lies, Sin of forgotten sacrifice, In thine own Dictynna''s sea- wild eyes? |
8418 | _ Some Women_ Is this some Spirit, O child of man? |
8418 | _ Women_ What wilt thou grant me, O God? |
8418 | what is coming? |
8418 | what wilt thou say, Child? |
8418 | whom shall I call of mortal men Happy? |
8418 | with women worshipping? |
8418 | wouldst thou shame the house where thou wast born? |
35377 | And can I assist your Majesty in obtaining it? |
35377 | And can not you rest the sky upon a mountain? |
35377 | And do you know,asked the damsel who had first spoken,"that a terrible dragon, with a hundred heads, keeps watch under the golden apple- tree?" |
35377 | And have you never seen him, my fair maiden? |
35377 | And how big was the box? |
35377 | And how broad, I wonder, were the shoulders of Hercules? |
35377 | And how dare you make this disturbance, while I am sacrificing a black bull to my father Neptune? |
35377 | And how happens that? 35377 And how long a time,"asked the hero,"will it take you to get the golden apples?" |
35377 | And how soon shall I be strong enough? |
35377 | And is he a live giant, or a brazen image? |
35377 | And pray what would satisfy you? |
35377 | And was she not his sister? |
35377 | And what do you want in my dominions? |
35377 | And what has become of the pitcher now? |
35377 | And what in the world can be inside of it? |
35377 | And what is there in this magnificent golden rose to make you cry? |
35377 | And what of it? |
35377 | And what say you, venerable sir? |
35377 | And what would become of Ben and Bruin? |
35377 | And where did it come from? |
35377 | And why not? |
35377 | And will you carry me back when I have seen it? |
35377 | And will you never regret the possession of it? |
35377 | And will you stay with us,asked Epimetheus,"forever and ever?" |
35377 | And would Tanglewood turn to smoke, as well as we? |
35377 | And, besides, what would my dear mother do, if her beloved son were turned into a stone? |
35377 | And, pray, who may the Old One be? |
35377 | Are they as good as the first? |
35377 | Are you awake, Prince Theseus? |
35377 | Are you sure, beautiful Medea,asked Jason,"quite sure, that the unguent in the gold box will prove a remedy against those terrible burns?" |
35377 | But can I do nothing to help them? |
35377 | But how shall I ever find him? |
35377 | But is not this enough? 35377 But what must I do,"asked Perseus,"when we meet them?" |
35377 | But where can the monster be? |
35377 | But who gave it to you? |
35377 | But, can you show me the way to the garden of the Hesperides? |
35377 | But,said Perseus,"why should I waste my time with these Three Gray Women? |
35377 | Ca n''t I see into a thick bush as easily as yourself? 35377 Can you believe,"asked Eustace,"that there was once a winged horse?" |
35377 | Can you tell me, pretty maidens,asked the stranger,"whether this is the right way to the garden of the Hesperides?" |
35377 | Cousin Eustace,said Sweet Fern,"did the box hold all the trouble that has ever come into the world?" |
35377 | Did there really come any words out of the hole? |
35377 | Did you ever hear the like? |
35377 | Did you see that flash of light? |
35377 | Do n''t you think that I succeeded pretty well in catching that wonderful pony? |
35377 | Do not you see you are lost, without me as your good angel? 35377 Do you call that a wonderful exploit?" |
35377 | Do you not believe,said he, looking at the damsels with a smile,"that such a blow would have crushed one of the dragon''s hundred heads?" |
35377 | Do you not know that this island is enchanted? 35377 Do you see it?" |
35377 | Do you see? 35377 Do you, indeed, my dear child?" |
35377 | Does it presume to be green, when I have bidden it be barren, until my daughter shall be restored to my arms? |
35377 | Does the earth disobey me? |
35377 | Does your Majesty see his confusion? |
35377 | Dost thou bleed, my immortal horse? |
35377 | Foolish woman,answered Ceres,"did you not promise to intrust this poor infant entirely to me? |
35377 | Have they undergone a similar change, through the arts of this wicked Circe? |
35377 | Have we not an author for our next neighbor? |
35377 | Have you anything to tell me, little bird? |
35377 | Have you brought me the head of Medusa with the snaky locks? 35377 Have you come so far to seek it,"exclaimed Medea,"and do you not recognize the meed of all your toils and perils, when it glitters before your eyes? |
35377 | Have you forgotten what guards it? |
35377 | Have you performed your promise? |
35377 | How could it fail? |
35377 | How will you prevent me,asked Hercules,"from going whither I please?" |
35377 | How, then, can I tell you what is inside? |
35377 | Is it a wholesome wine? |
35377 | Is it much farther? |
35377 | Is it not a very pleasant stream? |
35377 | Is the sky very heavy? |
35377 | Is there something alive in the box? 35377 Just take the sky upon your head one instant, will you? |
35377 | Must we wait long for harvest- time? |
35377 | My child,said she,"did you taste any food while you were in King Pluto''s palace?" |
35377 | My dear Epimetheus,cried Pandora,"have you heard this little voice?" |
35377 | My pretty bird,said Eurylochus,--for he was a wary person, and let no token of harm escape his notice,--"my pretty bird, who sent you hither? |
35377 | O Primrose and Periwinkle, do you hear what he says? |
35377 | O brindled cow,cried he, in a tone of despair,"do you never mean to stop?" |
35377 | O daughter of the Talking Oak,cried he,"how shall we set to work to get our vessel into the water?" |
35377 | O my dear son,cried King Ægeus,"why should you expose yourself to this horrible fate? |
35377 | Oh, my sweet violets, shall I never see you again? |
35377 | Oh, what shall we do, sisters? 35377 Oh, where is my dear child?" |
35377 | On what errand? |
35377 | Pandora, what are you thinking of? |
35377 | Perseus,said the voice,"why are you sad?" |
35377 | Pray what is the matter with you, this bright morning? |
35377 | Pray, my good host, whence did you gather them? |
35377 | Pray, my young friend,said he, as they grew familiar together,"what may I call your name?" |
35377 | Pray, nurse,the queen kept saying,"how is it that you make the child thrive so?" |
35377 | Pray, what do you want with me? |
35377 | Pray, who are you, beautiful creature? |
35377 | Quicksilver? 35377 Sacred oracle of Delphi,"said he,"whither shall I go next in quest of my dear sister Europa?" |
35377 | See if you can lift this rock on which we are sitting? |
35377 | Shall I lift the lid again? |
35377 | Shall we not meet her soon? |
35377 | So you have got the golden apples? |
35377 | Tell me,cried he, before the Old One was well awake,"which is the way to the garden of the Hesperides?" |
35377 | That little bird, which met me at the edge of the cliff,exclaimed Ulysses;"was he a human being once?" |
35377 | The Golden Touch,asked the stranger,"or your own little Marygold, warm, soft, and loving as she was an hour ago?" |
35377 | The Golden Touch,continued the stranger,"or a crust of bread?" |
35377 | Then you are not satisfied? |
35377 | Was it the girdle of Venus,inquired the prettiest of the damsels,"which makes women beautiful?" |
35377 | Well, and what of that? |
35377 | Well, but, dear mother,asked the boy,"why can not I go to this famous city of Athens, and tell King Ægeus that I am his son?" |
35377 | Well, friend Midas,said the stranger,"pray how do you succeed with the Golden Touch?" |
35377 | What can it be? |
35377 | What can that be? |
35377 | What could induce me? |
35377 | What do you want there? |
35377 | What does this mean? |
35377 | What hast thou to do with an affair like this? 35377 What in the world do you want here? |
35377 | What in the world, my little fellow,ejaculated Hercules,"may you be?" |
35377 | What is it? |
35377 | What is the matter, Jason? |
35377 | What is the matter, father? |
35377 | What is there to gratify her heart? 35377 What is this wonder?" |
35377 | What kind of a monster may that be? 35377 What mean you, little bird?" |
35377 | What says King Æetes, my royal and upright father? |
35377 | What shall I do,said he,"in order to win the Golden Fleece?" |
35377 | What shall I do? |
35377 | What sort of a staff had he? |
35377 | What will Epimetheus say? 35377 What''s all this?" |
35377 | What''s your name? 35377 What, then, shall I do?" |
35377 | What,said Hecate,"the young man that always sits in the sunshine? |
35377 | Whence can the box have come? |
35377 | Whence come you, strangers? |
35377 | Where are you, Perseus? |
35377 | Where are your two- and- twenty comrades? |
35377 | Where is Proserpina? |
35377 | Where is my child? 35377 Where is she?" |
35377 | Where was the sound, and which way did it seem to go? |
35377 | Where? |
35377 | Which shall I strike at? |
35377 | Whither are you going in such a hurry, wise Ulysses? |
35377 | Whither are you going, Jason? |
35377 | Who are you, I say? |
35377 | Who are you, down at my feet there? 35377 Who are you, inside of this naughty box?" |
35377 | Who are you? |
35377 | Who are you? |
35377 | Who are you? |
35377 | Whose garment is this,inquired Perseus,"that keeps rustling close beside me in the breeze?" |
35377 | Why do you come alone? |
35377 | Why do you squeeze me so hard? 35377 Why should you be so frightened, my pretty child?" |
35377 | Will he give you the Golden Fleece, without any further risk or trouble? |
35377 | Will not you stay a moment,asked Phoebus,"and hear me turn the pretty and touching story of Proserpina into extemporary verses?" |
35377 | Will the dog bite me? |
35377 | Will you be kind enough to tell me whether the fountain has any name? |
35377 | Will you trust the child entirely to me? |
35377 | Wretch,cried Circe, giving him a smart stroke with her wand,"how dare you keep your human shape a moment longer? |
35377 | You silly children, what do you want of more snow? |
35377 | Young man,asked he, with his stern voice,"are you not appalled at the certainty of being devoured by this terrible Minotaur?" |
35377 | Your sister? |
35377 | Alas, what had he done? |
35377 | And almost the first question which she put to him, after crossing the threshold, was this,--"Epimetheus, what have you in that box?" |
35377 | And do n''t you see how careful we are to let the surf wave break over us every moment or two, so as to keep ourselves comfortably moist? |
35377 | And how can I possibly tie it up again?" |
35377 | And how long was his little finger?" |
35377 | And now, my little auditors, shall I tell you something that will make you open your eyes very wide? |
35377 | And pray, adventurous traveller, what do you want there?" |
35377 | And this, then, is Pirene? |
35377 | And was Cousin Eustace with the party? |
35377 | And what could that favor be, unless to multiply his heaps of treasure? |
35377 | And what do you think the snowy bull did next? |
35377 | And what else did Bellerophon behold there? |
35377 | And what is the message which you bring?" |
35377 | And what was to be done? |
35377 | And whence could this bull have come? |
35377 | And whence do you come, in that little cup?" |
35377 | And who are you?" |
35377 | And your companion there? |
35377 | And, as your next effort, what if you should try your hand on some one of the legends of Apollo?" |
35377 | And, indeed, why not? |
35377 | And, on that island, what do you think he saw? |
35377 | And, truly, my dear little folks, did you ever hear of such a pitiable case in all your lives? |
35377 | Are not these gems, which I have ordered to be dug for you, and which are richer than any in my crown,--are they not prettier than a violet?" |
35377 | Are there no better walkers than yourself in the island of Seriphus?" |
35377 | Are you an enchantress?" |
35377 | Are you not terribly hungry? |
35377 | But are you quite sure that this will satisfy you?" |
35377 | But how can you help me to do the things of which you speak? |
35377 | But was it really and truly an old man? |
35377 | But, a little farther on, what should she behold? |
35377 | But, by the by, have you added any more legends to the series, since the publication of the Wonder Book?" |
35377 | But, in the first place, do any of you know what a Gorgon is?" |
35377 | But, pray, have you lost a horse? |
35377 | But, to test how much you have profited under so excellent a teacher, will you allow me to ask you a single question?" |
35377 | Can not I carry the golden apples to the king, your cousin, much quicker than you could? |
35377 | Can you guess who I am? |
35377 | Can you tell me what has become of my dear child Proserpina?" |
35377 | Could he drag the plough so well, think you? |
35377 | Could you help smiling, Prince Jason, to see the self- conceit of that last fellow, just as he tumbled down?" |
35377 | Dear Bellerophon, do you not see that it is no bird? |
35377 | Did the roots extend down into some enchanted cavern? |
35377 | Do n''t you pity me, Primrose?" |
35377 | Do n''t you see me?" |
35377 | Do n''t you think her the exact picture of yourself? |
35377 | Do you imagine that earthly children are to become immortal without being tempered to it in the fiercest heat of the fire? |
35377 | Do you know whether the winged horse Pegasus still haunts the Fountain of Pirene, as he used to do in your forefathers''days?" |
35377 | Do you perceive no nice workmanship in that? |
35377 | Do you see that tall gateway before us? |
35377 | Do you see this splendid crown upon my head? |
35377 | Do you think that you should be less curious than Pandora? |
35377 | Do you think you could tell us another as good?" |
35377 | Do you, then, love this king, your cousin, so very much?" |
35377 | Dost thou not tremble, wicked king, to turn thine eyes inward on thine own heart? |
35377 | Has he as strange a one?" |
35377 | Have I not faithfully kept my promise with you? |
35377 | Have you burnt your mouth?" |
35377 | Have you never made the sunshine dance into dark corners, by reflecting it from a bit of looking- glass? |
35377 | Have you not everything that your heart desired?" |
35377 | How are you, my good fellow?" |
35377 | How could a helmet make him invisible, unless it were big enough for him to hide under it? |
35377 | How many days, think you, would he survive a continuance of this rich fare? |
35377 | How shall I make him believe that I have not looked into the box?" |
35377 | How was the blessed sunshine to be thrown into them? |
35377 | How were they to be purified? |
35377 | If I should lose you, too, as well as my little Europa, what would become of me?" |
35377 | If any such misfortune were to happen, how could he ever get rid of the sky? |
35377 | If you were left alone with the box, might you not feel a little tempted to lift the lid? |
35377 | In those days, spectacles for common people had not been invented, but were already worn by kings; else, how could Midas have had any? |
35377 | Instead of his ordinary milk diet, did he not eat up two of our comrades for his supper, and a couple more for breakfast, and two at his supper again? |
35377 | Is it because I too am a king, that you desire so earnestly to speak with me? |
35377 | Is it not possible, at the risk of one''s life, to slay him?" |
35377 | Is there nothing which I can get you to eat?" |
35377 | May I not run down to the shore, and ask some of the sea- nymphs to come up out of the waves and play with me?" |
35377 | Now, who do you imagine these two voyagers turned out to be? |
35377 | Of that you may be certain; else how could the book go on a step further? |
35377 | Of what use would wings be to a horse? |
35377 | Oh, what a good time was that to be alive in? |
35377 | On which side of us does it lie? |
35377 | Or could it be the beating of her heart? |
35377 | Or is he afraid of wetting his fine golden- stringed sandals? |
35377 | Or was it merely the singing in Pandora''s ears? |
35377 | Pray, how big may your soul be?" |
35377 | Pray, what may I call your name? |
35377 | Pray, what would you advise me to do with him?" |
35377 | Pray, why do you live in such a bad neighborhood?" |
35377 | Proserpina, did you call her name?" |
35377 | Quicksilver?" |
35377 | Shall I never hear them again? |
35377 | So you have made a discovery, since yesterday?" |
35377 | THE MIRACULOUS PITCHER The Hill- Side_ Introductory to"The Miraculous Pitcher"_ And when, and where, do you think we find the children next? |
35377 | Tanglewood Play- Room_ After the Story_"Primrose,"asked Eustace, pinching her ear,"how do you like my little Pandora? |
35377 | Tanglewood Porch_ After the Story_"Was not that a very fine story?" |
35377 | Tell me, for pity''s sake, have you seen my poor child Proserpina pass by the mouth of your cavern?" |
35377 | Tell me, now, do you sincerely desire to rid yourself of this Golden Touch?" |
35377 | Tell me, you naughty sea- nymphs, have you enticed her under the sea?" |
35377 | The Hill- Side_ After the Story_"How much did the pitcher hold?" |
35377 | The Three Golden Apples Did you ever hear of the golden apples, that grew in the garden of the Hesperides? |
35377 | The ancient poets remodelled them at pleasure, and held them plastic in their hands; and why should they not be plastic in my hands as well?" |
35377 | The gentle and innocent creature( for who could possibly doubt that he was so?) |
35377 | This showed some intelligence in the oak; else how should it have known that any such person existed? |
35377 | Was Theseus afraid? |
35377 | Were we to drown the world with them, could the world blame us? |
35377 | What are all the splendors you speak of, without affection? |
35377 | What are kings made for, save to succor the feeble and distressed? |
35377 | What can I do with him?" |
35377 | What can have been the matter with them?" |
35377 | What can we do to drive them away?" |
35377 | What could it be, indeed? |
35377 | What do you think has happened? |
35377 | What do you think of this, my brave Jason?" |
35377 | What does he mean to do? |
35377 | What harm can the lady of the palace and her maidens do to mariners and warriors like us?" |
35377 | What harm can there be in opening the box? |
35377 | What if you should take my burden on your shoulders, while I do your errand for you?" |
35377 | What in the world could we do without her? |
35377 | What mortal, even if he possessed a hundred lives, could hope to escape the fangs of such a monster? |
35377 | What say you, Sweet Fern, Dandelion, Clover, Periwinkle? |
35377 | What should it be but the most magnificent palace that had ever been seen in the world? |
35377 | What sort of a contrivance may that be, I wonder? |
35377 | What will the king say to the one- sandalled man?" |
35377 | Whence has he come? |
35377 | Where are you all? |
35377 | Which of the three is Medusa?" |
35377 | Which of these two things do you think is really worth the most,--the gift of the Golden Touch, or one cup of clear cold water?" |
35377 | Why did not I think of him before? |
35377 | Why do you come hither? |
35377 | Why, friend, are you in your senses? |
35377 | Why, what could have become of the child? |
35377 | Will not you like to ride a little way with me, in my beautiful chariot?" |
35377 | Will you go with me, Phoebus, to demand my daughter of this wicked Pluto?" |
35377 | Would any of you, after hearing this story, be so foolish as to desire the faculty of changing things to gold?" |
35377 | Would he be less so by dinner- time? |
35377 | Would it not be better to set out at once in search of the terrible Gorgons?" |
35377 | Yet, what other loaf could it possibly be? |
35377 | You have been gathering flowers? |
35377 | Your mother, beholding you safe and sound, will shed tears of joy; and what can she do more, should you win ever so great a victory? |
35377 | and where did you receive your education?" |
35377 | asked Theseus,"if the labyrinth so bewilders me as you say it will?" |
35377 | cried Perseus, to whom this seemed only a new difficulty in the path of his adventure;"pray who may the Three Gray Women be? |
35377 | cried little Marygold, who was a very affectionate child,"pray what is the matter? |
35377 | cried the student,"do you think I was there, to measure him with a yard- stick? |
35377 | cried these kind- hearted old people,"what has become of our poor neighbors?" |
35377 | do you smell the feast? |
35377 | do you think me so?" |
35377 | he cried;"how came you by it?" |
35377 | if the fathers and mothers were so small, what must the children and babies have been? |
35377 | must you go so soon?" |
35377 | nor taste those nice little savory dishes which my dearest wife knew how to serve up?" |
35377 | shouted Hercules, very wrathfully,"do you intend to make me bear this burden forever?" |
35377 | sisters, what Nymphs does he mean?" |
35377 | thought Cadmus;"or have I been dreaming all this while?" |
35377 | was there ever such a gentle, sweet, pretty, and amiable creature as this bull, and ever such a nice playmate for a little girl? |
35377 | what is the young man talking about?" |
35377 | what shall we do? |
35377 | why did n''t we go without our supper?" |
35377 | why have you opened this wicked box?" |
14484 | ''Tis hard that I, far- toiling voyager, Crossed by some evil wind, Can not the haven find, Nor catch his form that flies me, where? |
14484 | (_ to_ ANTIGONE) And thou,--no prating talk, but briefly tell, Knew''st thou our edict that forbade this thing? |
14484 | --''Faithfulness to whom?'' |
14484 | ... II 2 The cause then of my cry Was coming all too nigh:( Doth the clear nightingale lament for nought?) |
14484 | 1 Where is he? |
14484 | A shepherd wast thou, and a wandering hind? |
14484 | A. Toil upon toil brings toil, And what save trouble have I? |
14484 | Above there, or below? |
14484 | Aias, dear brother, comfort of mine eye, Hast thou then done even as the rumour holds? |
14484 | Aias, my lord, what act is in thy mind? |
14484 | Alas, shalt thou be seen Graced with mine arms amongst Achaean men? |
14484 | Alas, what shall I say to him? |
14484 | Am I a fool, or do I truly hear Lament new- rising from our master''s home? |
14484 | Am I again deceived? |
14484 | Am I not vile? |
14484 | Am I permitted? |
14484 | Am I ruled by Thebes? |
14484 | Am I the man to spurn at Heaven''s command? |
14484 | Am I to speak? |
14484 | Am I undone? |
14484 | Among whom? |
14484 | And Aias was thy foeman? |
14484 | And I, Shall I bide here till thou com''st forth? |
14484 | And Nestor, my old friend, good aged man, Is he yet living? |
14484 | And are thine eyes 2 Sightless? |
14484 | And art thou bent on truth in the reply? |
14484 | And art thou not ashamed, acting alone? |
14484 | And could a mother''s heart be steeled to this? |
14484 | And did they certainly report him dead? |
14484 | And did this prophet then profess his art? |
14484 | And finds the sufferer now some pause of woe? |
14484 | And hadst thou ever hoped the Gods would care For mine affliction, and restore my life? |
14484 | And hadst thou there acquaintance of this man? |
14484 | And hath Creon sent, Pitying my sorrows, mine own children to me Whom most I love? |
14484 | And have they so determined on my life? |
14484 | And have ye dared to give Mine arms to some man else, unknown to me?'' |
14484 | And how is he not here, if all be well? |
14484 | And how was she detected, caught, and taken? |
14484 | And in what modern writing is more of the wisdom of life condensed than in the History of Thucydides? |
14484 | And is he now at hand within the house? |
14484 | And is he still alive for me to see? |
14484 | And is not lying shameful to thy soul? |
14484 | And is there none to succour or prevent? |
14484 | And is this in act? |
14484 | And is this thine intent? |
14484 | And know''st thou not whom thou behold''st in me, Young boy? |
14484 | And may one touch and handle it, and gaze With reverence, as on a thing from Heaven? |
14484 | And now The General''s proclamation of to- day-- Hast thou not heard?--Art thou so slow to hear When harm from foes threatens the souls we love? |
14484 | And now This gory venom blackly spreading bane From Nessus''angry wound, must it not cause The death of Heracles? |
14484 | And now why vaunt the deeds that won the day, When these dear maids will tell them in thine ear? |
14484 | And shall not men be taught the temperate will? |
14484 | And shar''st with her dominion of this realm? |
14484 | And since the event how much of time hath flown? |
14484 | And they, Thy brethren, what of them? |
14484 | And thou, poor helpless crone, didst see this done? |
14484 | And to what Power thus consecrate? |
14484 | And was I then, By mine own edict branded thus, to look On Theban faces with unaltered eye? |
14484 | And was there none, no fellow traveller, To see, and tell the tale, and help our search? |
14484 | And were the eyes and spirit not distraught, When the tongue uttered this to ruin me? |
14484 | And what desire or quest hath brought thee hither? |
14484 | And what hast thou determined for her death? |
14484 | And what hath brought thee, old Tirésias, now? |
14484 | And what was Atreus, thine own father? |
14484 | And when I have gotten this unpolluted draught? |
14484 | And when leaf- shadowed Earth has drunk of this, What follows? |
14484 | And when the father saw him, With loud and dreadful clamour bursting in He went to him and called him piteously:''What deed is this, unhappy youth? |
14484 | And when they banished me, stood''st firm to shield me, What news, Ismene, bring''st thou to thy sire To day? |
14484 | And where didst thou come near him and stand by? |
14484 | And where didst thou inhabit with thy flock? |
14484 | And where is he who rules this country, sirs? |
14484 | And where is his poor body''s resting- place? |
14484 | And where, then, is the promise thou hast given? |
14484 | And wherefore hast thou darted forth? |
14484 | And whither must we go? |
14484 | And who That saw thee hurrying forth to certain death Would not bewail thee, brother? |
14484 | And who is he that I should say him nay? |
14484 | And who the slain? |
14484 | And who will carry that? |
14484 | And who will marry you? |
14484 | And who would dare reject his proffered good? |
14484 | And who, by Heaven, are they? |
14484 | And wilt thou gather the appointed wood? |
14484 | And wilt thou honour such a pestilent corse? |
14484 | And wilt thou sever her from thine own son? |
14484 | And wilt thou then Sail to befriend them, pressing me in aid? |
14484 | And wouldst thou have us gentle to such friends? |
14484 | And yet What am I asking? |
14484 | Another gave me, then? |
14484 | Antigone, child of the old blind sire, What land is here, what people? |
14484 | Are my woes lessening? |
14484 | Are none Mourning for loss of fathers but yourself? |
14484 | Are they set forth To please the Atridae, Phoenix and the rest? |
14484 | Are ye come to add Some monster evil to my mountainous woe? |
14484 | Are ye the men to tell me where to find The mansion of the sovereign Oedipus? |
14484 | Art not ashamed To look on him that sued to thee for shelter? |
14484 | Art not more tender of the life thou hast? |
14484 | Art silent? |
14484 | Art thou Orestes? |
14484 | Art thou he indeed, That didst preserve Orestes and myself From many sorrows? |
14484 | Art thou he? |
14484 | Art thou mad, unhappy one, to laugh Over thine own calamity and mine? |
14484 | Art thou silent? |
14484 | Art thou then so resolved, O brother mine? |
14484 | Art thou to hear it? |
14484 | Art thou to probe the seat of mine annoy? |
14484 | Art thou, too, wroth with the all- pestilent sons Of Atreus? |
14484 | As fearing what reverse Prophetically told? |
14484 | At home, afield, or on some foreign soil? |
14484 | Because you missed me? |
14484 | Both may be equal yonder; who can tell? |
14484 | But I fain would learn What wrong is that you speak of? |
14484 | But I would first Learn from thee who of men hath sent thee forth? |
14484 | But for our errand to- day Behoves thee, master, to say Where is the hearth of his home; Or where even now doth he roam? |
14484 | But grant thy speech were sooth, and all were done In aid of Menelaüs; for this cause Hadst thou the right to slay him? |
14484 | But have my miseries a measure? |
14484 | But how Can this be lawful? |
14484 | But how shall I find matters there within? |
14484 | But how, if they should save thee afterward? |
14484 | But how? |
14484 | But now to hear of thee, who more distressed? |
14484 | But of mortals here That soothsayers are more inspired than I What certain proof is given? |
14484 | But resolve me this: Hast dyed thy falchion deep in Argive blood? |
14484 | But tell Where is the pain- worn wight himself abroad? |
14484 | But tell me first what height Had Laius, and what grace of manly prime? |
14484 | But tell me what request Or what intelligence thou bring''st with thee? |
14484 | But the tale? |
14484 | But they, where are they? |
14484 | But what can I herein Avail to do or undo? |
14484 | But what more fatal than the lapse of rule? |
14484 | But when we ask,''Righteousness in what relation?'' |
14484 | But where did Laius meet this violent end? |
14484 | But where is Aias to receive my word? |
14484 | But where is Teucer? |
14484 | But wherefore ask? |
14484 | But wherefore on the flock this violent raid? |
14484 | But who can hide evil that courts the day? |
14484 | But who could bear to see thee in this mind? |
14484 | But who that hears the deep oracular sound Of his dark words, will dare to follow thee? |
14484 | But who that is a woman could endure To dwell with her, both married to one man? |
14484 | But why come hither? |
14484 | But why desire it so? |
14484 | But why renew thy rage? |
14484 | But why these words? |
14484 | But, I may presume, Ye held an inquisition for the dead? |
14484 | By heaven I pray thee, did my father do this thing, Or was''t my mother? |
14484 | By illness coming o''er him, or by guile? |
14484 | By what certain sign? |
14484 | By whom? |
14484 | Came he near them? |
14484 | Came this device from Creon or thyself? |
14484 | Can aught be still more hateful to be seen? |
14484 | Can he be brought again immediately? |
14484 | Can hour outlasting hour make less or more Of death? |
14484 | Can it be poor Electra? |
14484 | Can it be so, my son, that thou art brought By mad distemperature against thy sire, On hearing of the irrevocable doom Passed on thy promised bride? |
14484 | Can it be well To pour forgetfulness upon the dead? |
14484 | Can it be, the offence of my disease Hath moved thee not to take me now on board? |
14484 | Can the eye so far deceive? |
14484 | Can this be famed Electra I behold? |
14484 | Can this be possible? |
14484 | Can this be truth I utter? |
14484 | Can ye behold this done And tamely hide your all- avenging fire? |
14484 | Can you describe him? |
14484 | Canst thou not Hear, and refuse to do what thou mislikest? |
14484 | Canst thou not be still? |
14484 | Child, art thou here? |
14484 | Child, hast thou heard what holy oracles He left with me, touching that very land? |
14484 | Child, what shall I do? |
14484 | Child, wherefore art thou come? |
14484 | Clear of this mischief, mean''st thou? |
14484 | Come, tell it o''er again,--said you ye brought My brother bound to aid you with his power? |
14484 | Corinthian friend, I first appeal to you: Was''t he you spake of? |
14484 | Could human thought have prophesied My name would thus give echo to mine ill? |
14484 | Could this be ventured by a woman''s hand? |
14484 | Dark instrument Of ever- hateful guile!--What hast thou done? |
14484 | Dates his valour from to day? |
14484 | Daughter Antigone, what is it? |
14484 | Daughter, what is coming? |
14484 | Daughter, what must I think, or do? |
14484 | Daunted by what fear Stayed ye me sacrificing to the God[2] Who guards this deme Colonos? |
14484 | Dead, or at rest in sleep? |
14484 | Dear friends, kind women of true Argive breed, Say, who can timely counsel give Or word of comfort suited to my need? |
14484 | Dear friends, what will ye do? |
14484 | Dear is that shore to me, dear is thy father O ancient Lycomedes''foster- child, Whence cam''st thou hither? |
14484 | Dear lady, by the Gods, Who is the stranger? |
14484 | Dear only saviour of our father''s house, How earnest thou hither? |
14484 | Dear son, whose voice disturbs us? |
14484 | Derived from Labdacus? |
14484 | Did I not tell thee so, long since? |
14484 | Did I not tell you this would come? |
14484 | Did fear of this make thee so long an exile? |
14484 | Did my sons hear? |
14484 | Did she give it thee? |
14484 | Did ye not hear it, friends? |
14484 | Did you not on oath Proclaim your captive for your master''s bride? |
14484 | Did you not say That she, on whom you look with ignorant eye, Was Iolè, the daughter of the King, Committed to your charge? |
14484 | Didst thou, then, recklessly aspire To brave kings''laws, and now art brought In madness of transgression caught? |
14484 | Do I hear Odysseus? |
14484 | Do I see thee with the marvellous bow? |
14484 | Do I talk idly, or is this the truth? |
14484 | Dost hear, Woe- burdened wanderer? |
14484 | Dost not perceive? |
14484 | Dost thou confess to have done this, or deny it? |
14484 | Dost thou find no comfort in my news? |
14484 | Dost thou inquire of him? |
14484 | Dost thou see? |
14484 | Doth he yet live? |
14484 | Doth the mind smart withal, or only the ear? |
14484 | Doth this delight them, or how went the talk? |
14484 | Doth this not argue an insensate sire? |
14484 | Ended he with peace divine? |
14484 | Even here? |
14484 | Farther? |
14484 | Fate- wearied Oedipus? |
14484 | Fate-- not thou-- hath sent My sire and mother to the home of death What wealth have I to comfort me for thee? |
14484 | Fear''st thou not the Achaeans in this act? |
14484 | Feel you not the justice of my speech? |
14484 | Find ye no merit there? |
14484 | First consider one thing well: Who would choose rule accompanied with fear Before safe slumbers with an equal sway? |
14484 | First of thy brother I beseech thee tell, How deem''st thou? |
14484 | Following what service? |
14484 | For if at home I foster rebels, how much more abroad? |
14484 | For some one,--but first tell me, whispering low Whate''er thou speakest,--who is this I see? |
14484 | For tell me, or be patient till I show, What should I gain by ceasing this my moan? |
14484 | For what end, daughter? |
14484 | For what transgression of Heaven''s ordinance? |
14484 | For when the eyes have looked their last How should sore labour vex again? |
14484 | For wherefore should the Centaur, for what end, Show kindness to the cause for whom he died? |
14484 | For whither wandering shall we find Hard livelihood, by land or over sea? |
14484 | For who Can make the accomplished fact as things undone? |
14484 | For whom could he himself be sailing forth? |
14484 | For whom to spend those gifts? |
14484 | Friendly, to hand me over to my foes? |
14484 | From both? |
14484 | From what didst thou release me or relieve? |
14484 | From whom hast thou heard this? |
14484 | Gain for the sons of Atreus, or for me? |
14484 | Gave you this man the child of whom he asks you? |
14484 | Had he scant following, or, as princes use, Full numbers of a well- appointed train? |
14484 | Had he some cause for fear? |
14484 | Had not he, Menelaüs, children twain, begotten of her Whom to reclaim that army sailed to Troy? |
14484 | Hadst thou a share in that adventurous toil? |
14484 | Hadst thou the face To bring thy boldness near my palace- roof, Proved as thou art to have contrived my death And laid thy robber hands upon my state? |
14484 | Hast caught my drift? |
14484 | Hast not even heard my name, Nor echoing rumour of my ruinous woe? |
14484 | Hast thou come, daughter? |
14484 | Hast thou had dealings with him? |
14484 | Hast thou let him go? |
14484 | Hast thou my child? |
14484 | Hast thou my sister for thine honoured queen? |
14484 | Hast thou thy wits, and knowest thou what thou sayest? |
14484 | Hath Phoebus so pronounced my destiny? |
14484 | Hath Trachis a magician of such might? |
14484 | Hath he borne that? |
14484 | Hath it not before oppressed thee? |
14484 | Hath mortal head Conceived a wickedness so bold? |
14484 | Hath thy trouble come? |
14484 | Have Atreus''sons felt thy victorious might? |
14484 | Have I not set my foot as firm and far? |
14484 | Have my arms caught thee? |
14484 | Have none of her companions breathed her name? |
14484 | Have they a lord, or sways the people''s voice? |
14484 | Have they given thee cause to grieve? |
14484 | Have we not Teucer, Skilled in this mystery? |
14484 | Have you no shame, to stir up private broils In such a time as this? |
14484 | Hear ye his words? |
14484 | Hear ye not Aias there, How sharp the cry that shrills from him? |
14484 | Here, or there? |
14484 | His loves ere now Were they not manifold? |
14484 | His own, or Creon''s? |
14484 | Hold fast continually, for who hath seen Zeus so forgetful of his own? |
14484 | Hold, till thou first hast made me clearly know, Is Peleus''offspring dead? |
14484 | How came it, when the minstrel- hound was here, This folk had no deliverance through thy word? |
14484 | How came she in thy charge? |
14484 | How can I do it, when my mother''s death And thy sad state sprang solely from this girl? |
14484 | How can I gainsay what I see? |
14484 | How can I prove a rebel to his mind Who thus exhorts me with affectionate heart? |
14484 | How can he bear it still? |
14484 | How can he range, Whose limb drags heavy with an ancient harm? |
14484 | How can his providence forsake his son? |
14484 | How can it heal to burn thee on the pyre? |
14484 | How can my father be no more to me Than who is nothing? |
14484 | How can one like me Desire of thee to touch an outlawed man, On whose dark life all stains of sin and woe Are fixed indelibly? |
14484 | How canst thou clear that sin? |
14484 | How caused? |
14484 | How could he live, whose life was thus consumed with moan? |
14484 | How could her single thought Contrive the accomplishment of death on death? |
14484 | How could that furrowing of thy father''s field Year after year continue unrevealed? |
14484 | How couldst thou bear Thus to put out thine eyes? |
14484 | How didst thou set forth? |
14484 | How do I know this? |
14484 | How dost thou know it? |
14484 | How durst thou then transgress the published law? |
14484 | How else, when neither war, nor the wide sea Encountered him, but viewless realms enwrapt him, Wafted away to some mysterious doom? |
14484 | How else, when the end Of stormy sickness brings no cheering ray? |
14484 | How first began the assault of misery? |
14484 | How groundless, if I am my parents''child? |
14484 | How if a princess, offspring of their King? |
14484 | How if thy thought be vain? |
14484 | How is it with you, brother? |
14484 | How mean''st thou by that word? |
14484 | How mean''st thou? |
14484 | How must one look in speaking such a word? |
14484 | How now, my son? |
14484 | How righteous, to release what thou hast ta''en By my device? |
14484 | How say you? |
14484 | How say you? |
14484 | How say you? |
14484 | How say''st thou? |
14484 | How shall I dare to front my father''s eye? |
14484 | How shall I speak the dreadful word? |
14484 | How shall ye live when ye have heard? |
14484 | How should I know him whom I ne''er Set eye on? |
14484 | How should I leave this substance for that show? |
14484 | How should this pain me, in pretence being dead, Really to save myself and win renown? |
14484 | How should this plead for pardon? |
14484 | How so? |
14484 | How so? |
14484 | How then can I desire to be a king, When masterdom is mine without annoy? |
14484 | How then should he escape me? |
14484 | How then should they require thee to go near, And yet dwell separate? |
14484 | How then? |
14484 | How to shield me, how to aid me? |
14484 | How was it? |
14484 | How was that? |
14484 | How wert thou so long deceived? |
14484 | How will he once endure to look on me, Denuded of the prize of high renown, Whose coronal stood sparkling on his brow? |
14484 | How with the wise wilt thou care? |
14484 | How, dear youth? |
14484 | How, if his eyes be not transformed or lost? |
14484 | How, stranger? |
14484 | How, then, friends, Can I be moderate, or feel the touch Of holy resignation? |
14484 | How, then? |
14484 | How, when the powers of will and thought are past, Should life be any more enthralled to pain? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | How? |
14484 | I 1 When shall arise our exile''s latest sun? |
14484 | I bid thee show, What journey is Alcmena''s child pursuing? |
14484 | I broke in with my word:''Aias, what now? |
14484 | I call thee daily-- wilt thou never come? |
14484 | I may not look on high, Nor to the tribe of momentary men.-- Oh, whither, then, Should it avail to fly? |
14484 | I pray thee, speak''st thou thus to anger me? |
14484 | I, who in this thy coming have beheld Thee dead and living? |
14484 | II 1 Who more acquainted with fierce misery, Assaulted by disasters manifest, Than thou in this thy day of agony? |
14484 | III 2 Doth not thy sense enlighten thee to see How recklessly Even now thou winnest undeservèd woe? |
14484 | If choice were given you, would you rather choose Hurting your friends, yourself to feel delight, Or share with them in one commingled pain? |
14484 | If honour to such lives be given, What needs our choir to hymn the power of Heaven? |
14484 | If this you do Be noble, why must darkness hide the deed? |
14484 | If thou fearest, Thou hast no cause-- for doubtfulness is pain, But to know all, what harm? |
14484 | If thou wert gone, what were my life to me? |
14484 | Ill boding harbinger of woe, what word Have thy lips uttered? |
14484 | In Greece, or in some barbarous country? |
14484 | In vain? |
14484 | Insolent, art thou here? |
14484 | Into what region are these wavering sounds Wafted on aimless wings? |
14484 | Is all forlorn? |
14484 | Is ancient Polybus not still in power? |
14484 | Is death thy destination for them both? |
14484 | Is he drawing nigh? |
14484 | Is he gone? |
14484 | Is he living, dost thou know? |
14484 | Is he too departed? |
14484 | Is it by chance, or heard she of her son? |
14484 | Is it she or no? |
14484 | Is it some lightning- bolt new- fallen from Zeus, Or cloud- born hail that is come rattling down? |
14484 | Is it thy choice now to go home with me? |
14484 | Is it thy voice? |
14484 | Is it true? |
14484 | Is it well? |
14484 | Is my prayer heard? |
14484 | Is not the city in the sovereign''s hand? |
14484 | Is not this terrible, Laërtes''son Should ever think to bring me with soft words And show me from his deck to all their host? |
14484 | Is not this violence? |
14484 | Is pain upon thee? |
14484 | Is that thy thought? |
14484 | Is that your counsel? |
14484 | Is that, now, clearly spoken, or no? |
14484 | Is the King coming? |
14484 | Is there no help but this abode must see The past and future ills of Pelops''race? |
14484 | Is there none to strike me With doubly sharpened blade a mortal blow? |
14484 | Is there something more? |
14484 | Is''t not Orestes''body that I bear? |
14484 | Is''t not a silly scheme, To think to compass without troops of friends Power, that is only won by wealth and men? |
14484 | Is''t not proved? |
14484 | Is''t possible that thou shouldst grieve for me? |
14484 | Is''t possible we have some kinsman here? |
14484 | Is''t possible? |
14484 | Jocasta, my dear queen, why didst thou send To bring me hither from our palace- hall? |
14484 | Just, that my murderer have a peaceful end? |
14484 | Kind friend, first tell me what I first would know-- Shall I receive my Heracles alive? |
14484 | Kind voice of Heaven, soft- breathing from the height I 1 Of Pytho''s opulent home to Thebè bright, What wilt thou bring to day? |
14484 | Know I not things in Thebes Better than thou? |
14484 | Know ye of one Begotten of Laius? |
14484 | Know ye what thing ye ask? |
14484 | Know''st not into whose hands thou gav''st me once? |
14484 | Know''st thou not Thy silence argues thine accuser''s plea? |
14484 | Know''st thou on what terms I yield it? |
14484 | Know''st thou''tis of thy sovereign thou speak''st this? |
14484 | Know''st thou, is this of whom he speaks the same? |
14484 | LEADER OF CHORUS What portent from the Gods is here? |
14484 | Lady, why tarriest thou I 2 To lead thy husband in? |
14484 | Learn what? |
14484 | Lest from your parents you receive a stain? |
14484 | Lichas, tell, Who is the stranger- nymph? |
14484 | Look, O my lord, to thy path, Either to go or to stay How is my thought to proceed? |
14484 | Lords of Colonos, will ye suffer it? |
14484 | Madly it sounds-- Or springs it of deep grief For proofs of madness harrowing to his eye? |
14484 | Makes he towards us? |
14484 | Mariners, Must ye, too, leave me thus disconsolate? |
14484 | Mark ye the brave and bold, II 1 Whom none could turn of old, When once he set his face to the fierce fight? |
14484 | May I know? |
14484 | May I sit? |
14484 | May I then speak true counsel to my friend, And pull with thee in policy as of yore? |
14484 | May it be told, or must no stranger know? |
14484 | May not men Repent and change? |
14484 | May not persuasion fetch him? |
14484 | May this clear evidence be mine to see? |
14484 | May we not know the reasons of your will? |
14484 | Me miserable, which way shall I turn, Which look upon? |
14484 | Mean''st thou from those same urns whereof thou speakest? |
14484 | Mean''st thou in this the fortune of thy sons Or mine? |
14484 | Mean''st thou that prime misfortune of thy birth? |
14484 | Mean''st thou this? |
14484 | Mean''st thou to Troy, and to the hateful sons Of Atreus, me, with this distressful limb? |
14484 | Meanwhile he needs some comfort and some guide, For such a load of misery who can bear? |
14484 | Methinks thou knowest too, for thou hast seen, My kind reception of the stranger- maid? |
14484 | Methought I heard thee say, King Laius Was at a cross- road overpowered and slain? |
14484 | Mistress, wilt thou go yonder and make known, That certain Phocians on Aegisthus wait? |
14484 | Most hostile to her of all souls that are? |
14484 | Moved by an oracle, or from some vow? |
14484 | Moves he? |
14484 | Must I be taught impiety from thee? |
14484 | Must I endure such words from him? |
14484 | Must I lose thy voice? |
14484 | Must I not even sacrifice in peace From your harsh clamour, when you''ve had your say? |
14484 | Must I not fear my mother''s marriage- bed? |
14484 | Must I still follow as thou thinkest good? |
14484 | Must double vileness then be mine Both shameful silence and most shameful speech? |
14484 | Must not the King be told of what will come? |
14484 | Must the same syllables be thrice thrown forth? |
14484 | Must we endure detraction from a slave? |
14484 | My daughter, why these tears? |
14484 | My daughters, Have ye both heard our friends who inhabit here? |
14484 | My daughters, are ye there? |
14484 | My heart hangs on thy word with trembling awe: What new giv''n law, Or what returning in Time''s circling round Wilt thou unfold? |
14484 | My son, are ye now setting forth? |
14484 | My son, what fairest gale hath wafted thee? |
14484 | My son, what saidst thou? |
14484 | Next inform us of Laërtes''son; How stands his fortune? |
14484 | No more? |
14484 | No more? |
14484 | No right to mourn my brother who is gone? |
14484 | Not dead? |
14484 | Not know? |
14484 | Not know? |
14484 | Nought else beneath the roof? |
14484 | Now if that stranger Had aught in common with king Laius, What wretch on earth was e''er so lost as I? |
14484 | Now, canst thou tell me where we have set our feet? |
14484 | Now, dost thou know on Oeta''s topmost height The crag of Zeus? |
14484 | Now, what remains? |
14484 | O Athens''sovereign lord, what hast thou said? |
14484 | O Father, who are these? |
14484 | O Lemnian earth and thou almighty flame, Hephaestos''workmanship, shall this be borne, That he by force must drag me from your care? |
14484 | O charnel gulf I 2 Of death on death, not to be done away, Why harrowest thou my soul? |
14484 | O my dread lord, therein do I offend? |
14484 | O poor torn limb, what shall I do with thee Through all my days to be? |
14484 | O shameful plea? |
14484 | O ye his daughters, one with me in blood, Say, will not ye endeavour to unlock The stern lips of our unrelenting sire? |
14484 | O, foot, torn helpless thing, What wilt thou do to me? |
14484 | OLD M. Kind dames and damsels, may I clearly know If these be King Aegisthus''palace- halls? |
14484 | OLD M. Lady, why hath my speech disheartened thee? |
14484 | OLD M. May I guess further that in yonder dame I see his queen? |
14484 | Odysseus''voice? |
14484 | Oedipus, wherefore is Jocasta gone, Driven madly by wild grief? |
14484 | Of Laius once the sovereign of this land? |
14484 | Of what country or what race Shall I pronounce ye? |
14484 | Of what wild enterprise? |
14484 | Of whom? |
14484 | Of whom? |
14484 | Oh where? |
14484 | Oh, am I thus dishonoured of the dead? |
14484 | Oh, how shall we commend Such dealings, how defend them? |
14484 | Oh, where, then, lies the stern Aias, of saddest name, whose purpose none might turn? |
14484 | On whose behalf Slew he my child? |
14484 | Only let me hear thy will, Is''t constant to remain here and endure, Or to make voyage with us? |
14484 | Or beguiled she one sweet hour With Apollo in her bower, Who loves to trace the field untrod by man? |
14484 | Or better, where he may himself be found? |
14484 | Or did the Bacchic god, Who makes the top of Helicon to nod, Take thee for a foundling care From his playmates that are there? |
14484 | Or doth some memory haunt you of the deeds I did before you, and went on to do Worse horrors here? |
14484 | Or hath he left the palace? |
14484 | Or how? |
14484 | Or is my voice as vain Now, as you thought it when you planned this thing? |
14484 | Or is the battle still to be? |
14484 | Or is thy love Thy father''s, be his actions what they may? |
14484 | Or peers Fate through the gloom? |
14484 | Or shall kindness fade? |
14484 | Or stood his valour unaccompanied In all this host? |
14484 | Or terrible, but gainful? |
14484 | Or was the God- abandoned father''s heart Tender toward them and cruel to my child? |
14484 | Or was the ruler of Cyllene''s height The author of thy light? |
14484 | Or where for fathers, than their children''s fame? |
14484 | Or wouldst thou tempt me further? |
14484 | Or, hast thou seen them honouring villany? |
14484 | Our land''s chivalry Are valiant, valiant every warrior son Of Theseus.--On they run? |
14484 | Own sister of my blood, one life with me, Ismenè, have the tidings caught thine ear? |
14484 | Polybus in his grave? |
14484 | Return? |
14484 | Saidst thou a slaughtered queen in yonder hall Lay in her blood, crowning the pile of ruin? |
14484 | Sailed he not forth of his own sovereign will? |
14484 | Say then what cruel workman forged the gifts, But Fury this sharp sword, Hell that bright band? |
14484 | Say then, shall Theban dust o''ershadow me? |
14484 | Say what? |
14484 | Say wherefore dost thou crave with such desire The clearness of an undistracted mind? |
14484 | Say, can the mind be noble, where the stream Of gratitude is withered from the spring? |
14484 | Say, dames and damsels, have we heard aright, And speed we to the goal of our desire? |
14484 | Say, dost thou bear my bidding full in mind? |
14484 | Say, for what cause, after so long a time, Can Atreus''sons have turned their thoughts on him, Whom long they had cast forth? |
14484 | Say, for what end? |
14484 | Say, hath not Heaven decreed to execute On thee and me, while yet we are alive, All the evil Oedipus bequeathed? |
14484 | Say, is Aegisthus near while thus you speak? |
14484 | Say, is it well? |
14484 | Say, maidens, how must I proceed? |
14484 | Say, must I tell it with these standing by, Or go within? |
14484 | Say, must we call them back in presence here, Or would''st thou tell thy news to these and me? |
14484 | Say, was she clasped by mountain roving Pan? |
14484 | Seest thou not? |
14484 | Shall I add more, to aggravate thy wrath? |
14484 | Shall I go, then, and find out The name of the spot? |
14484 | Shall I mourn Him first, or wait till I have heard thy tale? |
14484 | Shall I raise the dead again to life? |
14484 | Shall I raise thee on mine arm? |
14484 | Shall I, across the Aegean sailing home, Leave these Atridae and their fleet forlorn? |
14484 | Shall men have joy, And not remember? |
14484 | Shall other men prescribe my government? |
14484 | Shall our age, forsooth, Be taught discretion by a peevish boy? |
14484 | Shall we not sail when this south- western wind Hath fallen, that now is adverse to our course? |
14484 | Shall we stay, And list again the lamentable sound? |
14484 | Single or child- bearing? |
14484 | Slave- born, or rightly of the royal line? |
14484 | Son of Menoeceus, brother of my queen, What answer from Apollo dost thou bring? |
14484 | Sore? |
14484 | Speak you plain sooth? |
14484 | Speak, aged friend, whose look proclaims thee meet To be their spokesman-- What desire, what fear Hath brought you? |
14484 | Speak, any one of you in presence here, Can you make known the swain he tells us of, In town or country having met with him? |
14484 | Speaks he from hearsay, or as one who knows? |
14484 | Stay; whither art bound? |
14484 | Strange in the stranger land, I 1 What shall I speak? |
14484 | Stranger, dost thou perceive? |
14484 | Strive they? |
14484 | Such, mother, is the crime thou hast devised And done against our sire, wherefore let Right And Vengeance punish thee!--May I pray so? |
14484 | Sure thou wast not with us, when at first We launched our vessels on the Troyward way? |
14484 | Tell me the great cause Why thou inveighest against them with such heat? |
14484 | Tell me this; Didst thou, or not, urge me to send and bring The reverend- seeming prophet? |
14484 | Tell me, I pray, what was become of him, Patroclus, whom thy father loved so well? |
14484 | Tell me, my daughter, is the man away? |
14484 | Tell me, what hope is mine of daily food, Who will be careful for my good? |
14484 | Tell us, how ended she her life in blood? |
14484 | That I may not escape thee? |
14484 | That this is well? |
14484 | The sacrificer stands prepared,--and when More keen? |
14484 | The slayer, who? |
14484 | Then am not I the spoiler, as ye said? |
14484 | Then at that season did he mention me? |
14484 | Then how could I endure the light of heaven? |
14484 | Then how not others, like to me? |
14484 | Then if the king shall hear this from another, How shalt thou''scape for''t? |
14484 | Then is not laughter sweetest o''er a foe? |
14484 | Then is the land inhabited of men? |
14484 | Then seest thou not What meed of honour, if thou dost my will, Thou shalt apportion to thyself and me? |
14484 | Then seest thou not how true unto their aim Our father''s prophecies of mutual death Against you both are sped? |
14484 | Then shall I advance Before the Trojan battlements, and there In single conflict doing valiantly Last die upon their spears? |
14484 | Then tell me, who is she thou brought''st with thee? |
14484 | Then why doth he not come, but still delay? |
14484 | Then you require this with an absolute will? |
14484 | Then, am not I third- partner with you twain? |
14484 | They force me? |
14484 | Think you I will yield? |
14484 | Think you he will consider the blind man, And come in person here to visit him? |
14484 | Think you that you bear In those cold gifts atonement for her guilt? |
14484 | Think you the wretch in heartfelt agony Weeps inconsolably her perished son? |
14484 | Think you to triumph in offending still? |
14484 | Think, O my lord, of thy path, Secretly look forth afar, What wilt thou do for thy need? |
14484 | Thou art so resolved? |
14484 | Thou bidst me then let bury this dead man? |
14484 | Thou didst what deed that misbecame thy life? |
14484 | Thou dost not mean thy gift to Heracles? |
14484 | Thou hast full cognizance How things within the palace are preserved? |
14484 | Thou knowest the captive maid thou leddest home? |
14484 | Thou wilt not answer him about the child? |
14484 | Through what dark traffic is the mariner Betraying me with whispering in thine ear? |

14484 | Thy mother''s bed, Say, didst thou fill? |
14484 | Thy murderer? |
14484 | Thy potent cause for spending so much breath? |
14484 | Till what term wilt thou remain Inactive? |
14484 | To ask simply, as Carlyle once did,''What did they think?'' |
14484 | To bring me back with reasons or perforce? |
14484 | To bury him, when all have been forbidden? |
14484 | To expire On sharp- cut dragging thongs,''Midst wildly trampling throngs Of swiftly racing hoofs, like him, Poor hapless one? |
14484 | To her and me? |
14484 | To him? |
14484 | To lie? |
14484 | To thrust me from the land? |
14484 | To what end? |
14484 | To what end? |
14484 | To whom beyond thyself and me belongs Such consecration? |
14484 | To whom more worthy should I tell my grief? |
14484 | Treason or dulness then? |
14484 | Unhappy man, will not even Time bring forth One spark of wisdom to redeem thine age? |
14484 | Unhappy that ye are, why have ye reared Your wordy rancour''mid the city''s harms? |
