42845	Madame, why is it that you prefer this tree of a dubious red, to all the precious stones?
42845	That being which we call the Sea,--is it a parasite of the vast animal which we call the Earth? 42845 What are those wild waves saying?"
42845	A grave point is the choice of a house; and who shall direct you as to that?
42845	An art not merely to survive the Tempest but even to make it useful?
42845	And from that Italy how often have we had great and beautiful tidings?
42845	And how many are sent from America, from France, from Holland-- from everywhere?
42845	And in what proportion?

42845	Does it thunder?
42845	Does not our earth feel the attraction of yet other globes?
42845	Does some gentle patient ask us on what people live, in those marine solitudes?
42845	Dogs and wolves, do I say?
42845	Elephants?

42845	Imaginary?
42845	In brief, if the Tempest has its_ science_, can we not create and use an_ art_?
42845	In throwing up that column towards the sky the_ panting blower_ seems to say,"Oh, nature, why hast thou made me a serf?"

42845	Is the Whale, therefore, a terrestrial animal?
42845	Is the sea very pure, or mixed?
42845	Is this to affirm that these creatures might have ascended to us?
42845	Kill them afterwards?
42845	Life, at those times, seems to borrow human voice, and to ask,--"Can I possibly last?"
42845	Might you not, now that you are thus sheltered, fancy yourself a hundred leagues from the sea?
42845	Millions, tens of millions, tens of thousands of millions;--who can even guess at the number of those hosts upon hosts?
42845	More productive than the land?

42845	Ritter and Lyell say:"The Earth labors herself; can she be impotent to organise herself?
42845	Shall I give you my opinion?
42845	Should they not be the grand moving powers which have created the currents of the sea, put the immense machine into motion?
42845	Should we not far rather imagine that in these masses there is a mixture of animality?
42845	So much nursing gentleness and so much destroying fury; have we not here a great contradiction?
42845	That they have no confused idea of Love and the Unknown?
42845	That viscuousness which water in general presents?

42845	Why?
42845	Why?
42845	Why?
42845	Will not some inquisitives intrude a look-- who knows-- may not some one find the way in with claw and tooth as well as glance?
42845	Will that warm sea be found again?
42845	Would not one month be enough?
42845	Yet among those animal mountains, where will you find the vivacity, the ardor of vitality, displayed by the rotifer?
