1051Nevertheless, need I put the question to any Physiologist, whether it is disputable or not? 1051 Of great Scenes why speak?
1051Or thinkest thou it were impossible, unimaginable? 1051 Shall we tremble before clothwebs and cobwebs, whether woven in Arkwright looms, or by the silent Arachnes that weave unrestingly in our Imagination?
1051The Soul Politic having departed,says Teufelsdrockh,"what can follow but that the Body Politic be decently interred, to avoid putrescence?
1051To the eye of vulgar Logic,says he,"what is man?
1051Were it not wonderful, for instance, had Orpheus, or Amphion, built the walls of Thebes by the mere sound of his Lyre? 1051 What, for example,"says he,"is the universally arrogated Virtue, almost the sole remaining Catholic Virtue, of these days?
1051What, speaking in quite unofficial language, is the net purport and upshot of war? 1051 Who am I; what is this ME?
1051& c.& c. Or again, has it often been the lot of our readers to read such stuff as we shall now quote?
1051''She looks on thee,''cried he:''she the fairest, noblest; do not her dark eyes tell thee, thou art not despised?
1051A Voice, a Motion, an Appearance;--some embodied, visualized Idea in the Eternal Mind?
1051A man that devotes his life to learning, shall he not be learned?
1051A new Adamite, in this century, which flatters itself that it is the Nineteenth, and destructive both to Superstition and Enthusiasm?
1051Again, leaving that wondrous Schwarzwald Smithy- Altar, what vacant, high- sailing air- ships are these, and whither will they sail with us?
1051Again, what Cookery does the Greenlander use, beyond stowing up his whale- blubber, as a marmot, in the like case, might do?
1051Again, what may the unchristian rather than Christian''Diogenes''mean?
1051Again,_ Nothing can act but where it is_: with all my heart; only, WHERE is it?
1051Alas, the fearful Unbelief is unbelief in yourself; and how could I believe?
1051Am I a botched mass of tailors''and cobblers''shreds, then; or a tightly articulated, homogeneous little Figure, automatic, nay alive?
1051Am I to view the Stupendous with stupid indifference, because I have seen it twice, or two hundred, or two million times?
1051An unmetaphorical style you shall in vain seek for: is not your very_ Attention_ a_ Stretching- to_?
1051And knowest thou no Prophet, even in the vesture, environment, and dialect of this age?
1051And now does the spiritual, eternal Essence of Man, and of Mankind, bared of such wrappages, begin in any measure to reveal itself?
1051And now of you, too, I make the old inquiry: What those same unalterable rules, forming the complete Statute- Book of Nature, may possibly be?
1051And now, for all this perennial Martyrdom, and Poesy, and even Prophecy, what is it that the Dandy asks in return?
1051And then?
1051And yet why is the thing impossible?
1051And yet, thou brave Teufelsdrockh, who could tell what lurked in thee?
1051Are not our Bodies and our Souls in continual movement, whether we will or not; in a continual Waste, requiring a continual Repair?
1051Are they not Souls rendered visible: in Bodies, that took shape and will lose it, melting into air?
1051Are we not Spirits, that are shaped into a body, into an Appearance; and that fade away again into air and Invisibility?
1051Are we returning, as Rousseau prayed, to the state of Nature?
1051Art not thou the''Living Garment of God''?
1051Art thou not tried, and beaten with stripes, even as I am?
1051Art thou the malignest of Sansculottists, or only the maddest?
1051At a small cost men are educated to make leather into shoes; but at a great cost, what am I educated to make?
1051Because the THOU( sweet gentleman) is not sufficiently honored, nourished, soft- bedded, and lovingly cared for?
1051Besides, of what profit were it?
1051Bright, nimble creatures, who taught you the mason- craft; nay, stranger still, gave you a masonic incorporation, almost social police?
1051But how came"the Wanderer"into her circle?
1051But is not this same looking through the Shows, or Vestures, into the Things, even the first preliminary to a_ Philosophy of Clothes_?
1051But nobler than all in this kind are the Lives of heroic god- inspired Men; for what other Work of Art is so divine?
1051But what does the writer mean by''Baphometic fire- baptism''?
1051But what next?
1051But what of the awe- struck Wakeful who find it a Reality?
1051But what then?
1051But what then?
1051But what was her surname, or had she none?
1051But whence?--O Heaven whither?
1051But why,"says the Hofrath, and indeed say we,"do I dilate on the uses of our Teufelsdrockh''s Biography?
1051But, alas, what vehicle of that sort have we, except_ Fraser''s Magazine_?
1051By way of proem, take the following not injudicious remarks:--"The benignant efficacies of Concealment,"cries our Professor,"who shall speak or sing?
1051By which last wire- drawn similitude does Teufelsdrockh mean no more than that young men find obstacles in what we call"getting under way"?
1051Can I choose my own King?
1051Can a Tartar be said to cook, when he only readies his steak by riding on it?
1051Can any Sovereign, or Holy Alliance of Sovereigns, bid Time stand still; even in thought, shake themselves free of Time?
1051Can he not arrest for debt?
1051Come there not tones of Love and Faith, as from celestial harp- strings, like the Song of beatified Souls?
1051Could she have driven so much as a brass- bound Gig, or even a simple iron- spring one?
1051Death?
1051Did he never stand so much as a contested Election?
1051Did not the Boy Alexander weep because he had not two Planets to conquer; or a whole Solar System; or after that, a whole Universe?
1051Did that reverend Basket- bearer intend, by such designation, to shadow forth my future destiny, or his own present malign humor?
1051Do our readers discern any such corner- stone, or even so much as what Teufelsdrockh, is looking at?
1051Does Legion still lurk in him, though repressed; or has he exorcised that Devil''s Brood?
1051Does any reader"in the interior parts of England"know of such a man?
1051Does not the following glimpse exhibit him in a much more natural state?
1051Dost thou, does man, so much as well know the Alphabet thereof?
1051Doth not thy cow calve, doth not thy bull gender?
1051For Matter, were it never so despicable, is Spirit, the manifestation of Spirit: were it never so honorable, can it be more?
1051For have not I too a compact all- enclosing Skin, whiter or dingier?
1051For is not a Symbol ever, to him who has eyes for it, some dimmer or clearer revelation of the Godlike?
1051For what is it properly but an Altercation with the Devil, before you begin honestly Fighting him?
1051For which reason it was to be altered, not without underhand satire, into a plainer Symbol?
1051For which, as for other mercies, ought not he to thank the Upper Powers?
1051From which is it not clear that the internal Satanic School was still active enough?
1051Had Teufelsdrockh also a father and mother; did he, at one time, wear drivel- bibs, and live on spoon- meat?
1051Had not my first, last Faith in myself, when even to me the Heavens seemed laid open, and I dared to love, been all too cruelly belied?
1051Had these men any quarrel?
1051Hadst thou not Greek enough to understand thus much:_ The end of Man is an Action, and not a Thought_, though it were the noblest?
1051Hadst thou, any more than I, a Father whom thou knowest?
1051Hast thou not a Brain, furnished, furnishable with some glimmerings of Light; and three fingers to hold a Pen withal?
1051Hast thou well considered all that lies in this immeasurable froth- ocean we name LITERATURE?
1051Have any deepest scientific individuals yet dived down to the foundations of the Universe, and gauged everything there?
1051Have we not seen him disappointed, bemocked of Destiny, through long years?
1051He can say to himself:"Tools?
1051He exclaims,"Or hast thou forgotten Paris and Voltaire?
1051Hear in what earnest though fantastic wise he expresses himself on this head:--"Shall Courtesy be done only to the rich, and only by the rich?
1051Here, looking round, as was our hest, for"organic filaments,"we ask, may not this, touching"Hero- worship,"be of the number?
1051How came it that the Wanderer advanced thither with such forecasting heart(_ ahndungsvoll_), by the side of his gay host?
1051How came it to evaporate, and not lie motionless?
1051How from such inorganic masses, henceforth madder than ever, as lie in these Bags, can even fragments of a living delineation be organized?
1051How happens it that no intelligence about the matter has come out directly to this country?
1051How is this; or what make ye of your_ Nothing can act but where it is_?
1051How shall_ he_ give kindling, in whose own inward man there is no live coal, but all is burnt out to a dead grammatical cinder?
1051How then could I believe in my Strength, when there was as yet no mirror to see it in?
1051How then?
1051How thou fermentest and elaboratest, in thy great fermenting- vat and laboratory of an Atmosphere, of a World, O Nature!--Or what is Nature?
1051How?
1051However, that is not our chief grievance; the Professor continues:--"Why multiply instances?
1051I said that Imagination wove this Flesh- Garment; and does not she?
1051If he loved his Disenchantress?
1051If it prove otherwise, why should he murmur?
1051If our era is the Era of Unbelief, why murmur under it; is there not a better coming, nay come?
1051If so, what are those_ Prize- Questions_; what are the terms of Competition, and when and where?
1051In Death too, in the Death of the Just, as the last perfection of a Work of Art, may we not discern symbolic meaning?
1051In Pagan countries, can not one write Fetishes?
1051In all that respects openness of Sense, affectionate Temper, ingenuous Curiosity, and the fostering of these, what more could I have wished?
1051In like manner, ask me not, Where are the LAWS; where is the GOVERNMENT?
1051In which country, in which time, was it hitherto that man''s history, or the history of any man, went on by calculated or calculable''Motives''?
1051In which words, indicating a total estrangement on the part of Teufelsdrockh may there not also lurk traces of a bitterness as from wounded vanity?
1051Increased Security and pleasurable Heat soon followed: but what of these?
1051Independence, in all kinds, is rebellion; if unjust rebellion, why parade it, and everywhere prescribe it?"
1051Is he not in most countries a taxpaying animal?
1051Is it by short clothes of yellow serge, and swineherd horns, that an infant of genius is educated?
1051Is it of a truth leading us into beatific Asphodel meadows, or the yellow- burning marl of a Hell- on- Earth?
1051Is not God''s Universe a Symbol of the Godlike; is not Immensity a Temple; is not Man''s History, and Men''s History, a perpetual Evangel?
1051Is not Shame(_ Schaam_) the soil of all Virtue, of all good manners and good morals?
1051Is not he a Temple, then; the visible Manifestation and Impersonation of the Divinity?
1051Is not such a prize worth some striving?
1051Is that a real Elysian brightness, cries many a timid wayfarer, or the reflex of Pandemonian lava?
1051Is that a wonder, which happens in two hours; and does it cease to be wonderful if happening in two million?
1051Is the Past annihilated, then, or only past; is the Future non- extant, or only future?
1051Is the heroic inspiration we name Virtue but some Passion; some bubble of the blood, bubbling in the direction others_ profit_ by?
1051Is the pitifullest mortal Person, think you, indifferent to us?
1051Knowest thou none such?
1051Knowest thou that''_ Worship of Sorrow_''?
1051Let the Philosopher answer this one question: What figure, at that period, was a Mrs. Teufelsdrockh likely to make in polished society?
1051Lives the man that can figure a naked Duke of Windlestraw addressing a naked House of Lords?

1051Meanwhile, for Andreas and his wife, the grand practical problem was: What to do with this little sleeping red- colored Infant?
1051Meanwhile, the question of questions were: What specially is a Miracle?
1051Meanwhile, what portion of this inconsiderable terraqueous Globe have ye actually tilled and delved, till it will grow no more?
1051Namely, that while the Beacon- fire blazed its brightest, the Watchman had quitted it; that no pilgrim could now ask him: Watchman, what of the Night?
1051Names?
1051Nay, even for the basest Sensualist, what is Sense but the implement of Fantasy; the vessel it drinks out of?
1051Nay, has not perhaps the Motive- grinder himself been in_ Love_?
1051Nay, in any case, would Criticism erect not only finger- posts and turnpikes, but spiked gates and impassable barriers, for the mind of man?
1051Nevertheless, wayward as our Professor shows himself, is there any reader that can part with him in declared enmity?
1051Nevertheless, which of the two was the more cunningly devised article, even as an Engine?
1051O Heavens, is it, in very deed, HE, then, that ever speaks through thee; that lives and loves in thee, that lives and loves in me?
1051Of what station in Life was she; of what parentage, fortune, aspect?
1051Once more I say, sweep away the illusion of Time; compress the threescore years into three minutes: what else was he, what else are we?
1051Only a torch for burning, no hammer for building?
1051Or even where is the use of such practical reflections as the following?
1051Or has the Professor his own deeper intention; and laughs in his sleeve at our strictures and glosses, which indeed are but a part thereof?
1051Or hast thou forgotten the day when thou first receivedst breeches, and thy long clothes became short?
1051Or how, without Clothes, could we possess the master- organ, soul''s seat, and true pineal gland of the Body Social: I mean, a PURSE?"
1051Or is the God present, felt in my own heart, a thing which Herr von Voltaire will dispute out of me; or dispute into me?
1051Or is this merely one of his half- sophisms, half- truisms, which if he can but set on the back of a Figure, he cares not whither it gallop?
1051Or was there something of intended satire; is the Professor and Seer not quite the blinkard he affects to be?
1051Or, cries the courteous reader, has your Teufelsdrockh forgotten what he said lately about"Aboriginal Savages,"and their"condition miserable indeed"?
1051Or, on the other hand, what is there that we can not love; since all was created by God?
1051Perhaps also in the following; wherewith we now hasten to knit up this ravelled sleeve:--"But there is no Religion?"
1051Plummet''s?
1051Remarkable, moreover, is this saying of his:"How were Friendship possible?
1051Rest?
1051Said I not, Before the old skin was shed, the new had formed itself beneath it?"
1051Say it in a word: is it not because thou art not HAPPY?
1051Seems it not at least presumable, that, under his Clothes, the Tailor has bones and viscera, and other muscles than the sartorius?
1051Seldom reflecting that still the new question comes upon us: What is Madness, what are Nerves?
1051Shall I not have all Eternity to rest in?''
1051Some one''s doing, it without doubt was; from some Idea, in some single Head, it did first of all take beginning: why not from some Idea in mine?"

1051Stands he not thereby in the centre of Immensities, in the conflux of Eternities?
1051Sure enough, I am; and lately was not: but Whence?
1051Than which paragraph on Metaphors did the reader ever chance to see a more surprisingly metaphorical?
1051That living flood, pouring through these streets, of all qualities and ages, knowest thou whence it is coming, whither it is going?
1051The Overseer(_ Episcopus_) of Souls, I notice, has tucked in the corner of it, as if his day''s work were done: what does he shadow forth thereby?"
1051The first ground handful of Nitre, Sulphur, and Charcoal drove Monk Schwartz''s pestle through the ceiling: what will the last do?
1051The stirring of a child''s finger brings the two together; and then-- What then?
1051The thunder- struck Air- sailor is not wanting to himself in this dread hour: but what avails it?
1051The voice of Prophecy has gone dumb?
1051The withered leaf is not dead and lost, there are Forces in it and around it, though working in inverse order; else how could it rot?
1051Then, have we not a Doctrine of Rent, a Theory of Value; Philosophies of Language, of History, of Pottery, of Apparitions, of Intoxicating Liquors?
1051There are not wanting men who will answer: Does your Professor take us for simpletons?
1051Therefrom he preaches what most momentous doctrine is in him, for man''s salvation; and dost not thou listen, and believe?
1051These Limbs, whence had we them; this stormy Force; this life- blood with its burning Passion?
1051These are Apparitions: what else?
1051Thinkest thou there is aught motionless; without Force, and utterly dead?
1051This is even what I dispute: but in any case, hast thou not still Preaching enough?
1051Thou art still Nothing, Nobody: true; but who, then, is Something, Somebody?
1051Thou foolish Teufelsdrockh How could it else?
1051Thou foolish"absolved Auscultator,"before whom lies no prospect of capital, will any yet known"religion of young hearts"keep the human kitchen warm?
1051Thou hast no Tools?
1051Thou thyself, wert thou not born, wilt thou not die?
1051Thus has not the Editor himself, working over Teufelsdrockh''s German, lost much of his own English purity?
1051Thus, were it not miraculous, could I stretch forth my hand and clutch the Sun?
1051Thy very Hatred, thy very Envy, those foolish Lies thou tellest of me in thy splenetic humor: what is all this but an inverted Sympathy?
1051To the eye of Pure Reason what is he?
1051To the''_ Worship of Sorrow_''ascribe what origin and genesis thou pleasest,_ has_ not that Worship originated, and been generated; is it not_ here_?
1051Unhappy Teufelsdrockh, had man ever such a"physical or psychical infirmity"before?
1051Want, want!--Ha, of what?
1051Was Luther''s Picture of the Devil less a Reality, whether it were formed within the bodily eye, or without it?
1051Was Teufelsdrockh also a fringe, of lace or cobweb; or promising to be such?
1051Was her real name Flora, then?
1051Was it by the humid vehicle of_ AEsthetic Tea_, or by the arid one of mere Business?
1051Was it not the still higher Orpheus, or Orpheuses, who, in past centuries, by the divine Music of Wisdom, succeeded in civilizing Man?
1051Was she not to him in very deed a Morning- star; did not her presence bring with it airs from Heaven?

1051We figure to ourselves, how in those days he may have played strange freaks with his independence, and so forth: do not his own words betoken as much?

1051What cares the world for our as yet miniature Philosopher''s achievements under that"brave old Linden"?
1051What henceforth becomes of the brave Herr Towgood, or Toughgut?
1051What is the use of health, or of life, if not to do some work therewith?
1051What make ye of your Christianities, and Chivalries, and Reformations, and Marseillaise Hymns, and Reigns of Terror?

1051how could he hope it; should he not have died under it?
1051how did he comport himself when in Love?
1051how should they so much as once meet together?

20585A false man found a religion?
20585A humble, solitary man, why should he at all meddle with the world?
20585A man embraces truth with his eyes open, and because his eyes are open: does he need to shut them before he can love his Teacher of truth?
20585A man that devotes his life to learning, shall he not be learned?
20585A mean man he, how shall he reform a world?
20585A new Adamite, in this century, which flatters itself that it is the Nineteenth, and destructive both to Superstition and Enthusiasm?
20585A_ great_ man?
20585Accordingly all persons, from the Queen Antoinette to the Douanier at the Porte St. Denis, do they not worship him?
20585Again Thor struck, so soon as Skrymir again slept; a better blow than before: but the Giant only murmured, Was that a grain of sand?
20585Again, leaving that wondrous Schwarzwald Smithy- Altar, what vacant, high- sailing air- ships are these, and whither will they sail with us?
20585Again, what Cookery does the Greenlander use, beyond stowing- up his whale- blubber, as a marmot, in the like case, might do?
20585Again, what may the unchristian rather than Christian"Diogenes"mean?
20585Again,_ Nothing can act but where it is_: with all my heart; only, WHERE is it?
20585Ah, does not every true man feel that he is himself made higher by doing reverence to what is really above him?
20585Alas, is not this the history of all highest Truth that comes or ever came into the world?
20585Alas, was not his doom stern enough?
20585Alas, yes;--but as Cato said of the statue: So many statues in that Forum of yours, may it not be better if they ask, Where is Cato''s statue?"
20585All crowns and sovereignties whatsoever, where would_ they_ in a few brief years be?
20585Am I a botched mass of tailors''and cobblers''shreds, then; or a tightly- articulated, homogeneous little Figure, automatic, nay alive?
20585Am I to view the Stupendous with stupid indifference, because I have seen it twice, or two- hundred, or two- million times?
20585An unmetaphorical style you shall in vain seek for: is not your very_ Attention_ a_ Stretching- to_?
20585And accordingly was there not what we can call a_ faith_ in him, genuine so far as it went?
20585And did he not interpret the dim purport of it well?
20585And if_ true_, was it not then the very thing to do?
20585And indeed may we not say that intellect altogether expresses itself in this power of discerning what an object is?
20585And knowest thou no Prophet, even in the vesture, environment, and dialect of this age?
20585And now does the Spiritual, eternal Essence of Man, and of Mankind, bared of such wrappages, begin in any measure to reveal itself?
20585And now in this sense, one may ask, Is not all worship whatsoever a worship by Symbols, by_ eidola_, or things seen?
20585And now of you, too, I make the old inquiry: What those same unalterable rules, forming the complete Statute- Book of Nature, may possibly be?
20585And now still, what hinders it from being the name of a Heroic Man and_ Mover_, as well as of a god?
20585And now, for all this perennial Martyrdom, and Poesy, and even Prophecy, what is it that the Dandy asks in return?
20585And then the''honour''?
20585And then?
20585And thereupon the unbelievers sneer and ask, Is this your man according to God''s own heart?
20585And we call it''dissimulation,''all this?
20585And what therefore is loyalty proper, the life- breath of all society, but an effluence of Hero- worship, submissive admiration for the truly great?
20585And who are you that prate of Constitutional Formulas, rights of Parliament?
20585And yet what were all Emperors, Popes and Potentates, in comparison?
20585And yet withal this hypochondria, what was it but the very greatness of the man?
20585And yet, thou brave Teufelsdröckh, who could tell what lurked in thee?
20585Answer it;_ thou_ must find an answer.--Ambition?
20585Are not all dialects''artificial''?
20585Are not our Bodies and our Souls in continual movement, whether we will or not; in a continual Waste, requiring a continual Repair?
20585Are not you yourselves there?
20585Are they base, miserable things?
20585Are they not Souls rendered visible: in Bodies, that took shape and will lose it, melting into air?
20585Are we not Spirits, that are shaped into a body, into an Appearance; and that fade- away again into air and Invisibility?
20585Are we returning, as Rousseau prayed, to the state of Nature?
20585Are we to suppose that it was a miserable piece of spiritual legerdemain, this which so many creatures of the Almighty have lived by and died by?
20585Art not thou the"Living Garment of God"?
20585Art thou not tired, and beaten with stripes, even as I am?
20585Art thou the malignest of Sansculottists, or only the maddest?
20585As for the Old Woman, she was_ Time_, Old Age, Duration; with her what can wrestle?
20585Ask now, What Paganism could have been?
20585At a small cost men are educated to make leather into shoes; but at a great cost, what am I educated to make?
20585Ay, what?
20585Bad methods: but are they so much worse than our methods,--of understanding him to be always the eldest born of a certain genealogy?
20585Ballot- boxes, suffrages, French Revolutions:--if we are as Valets, and do not know the Hero when we see him, what good are all these?
20585Because the THOU( sweet gentleman) is not sufficiently honoured, nourished, soft- bedded, and lovingly cared for?
20585Begging is not in our course at the present time: but for the rest of it, who will say that a Johnson is not perhaps the better for being poor?
20585Besides, of what profit were it?
20585Bright, nimble creatures, who taught_ you_ the mason- craft; nay, stranger still, gave you a masonic incorporation, almost social police?
20585But alas, what help now?
20585But call it worship, call it what you will, is it not a right glorious thing, and set of things, this that Shakspeare has brought us?
20585But how came''the Wanderer''into her circle?
20585But how shall we blame_ him_ for struggling to realise it?
20585But how was this to be done?
20585But if you ask, Which is the worst?
20585But indeed that strange outbudding of our whole English Existence, which we call the Elizabethan Era, did not it too come as of its own accord?
20585But is not this same looking through the Shows, or Vestures, into the Things, even the first preliminary to a_ Philosophy of Clothes_?
20585But nobler than all in this kind, are the Lives of heroic god- inspired Men; for what other Work of Art is so divine?
20585But now, intrinsically, is not all this the inevitable fortune, not of a false man in such times, but simply of a superior man?
20585But what does the writer mean by''Baphometic fire- baptism''?
20585But what next?
20585But what of the awestruck Wakeful who find it a Reality?
20585But what then?
20585But what then?
20585But what was her surname, or had she none?
20585But whence?--O Heaven, whither?
20585But why,''says the Hofrath, and indeed say we,''do I dilate on the uses of our Teufelsdröckh''s Biography?
20585But would it be a kindness always, is it a duty always or often, to disturb them in that?
20585But, alas, what vehicle of that sort have we, except_ Fraser''s Magazine_?
20585By way of proem, take the following not injudicious remarks:''The benignant efficacies of Concealment,''cries our Professor,''who shall speak or sing?
20585By which last wiredrawn similitude does Teufelsdröckh mean no more than that young men find obstacles in what we call''getting under way''?
20585Can I choose my own King?
20585Can a Tartar be said to cook, when he only readies his steak by riding on it?
20585Can any Sovereign, or Holy Alliance of Sovereigns, bid Time stand still; even in thought, shake themselves free of Time?
20585Can he not arrest for debt?
20585Can not a man do without King''s Coaches and Cloaks?
20585Can not we conceive that Odin was a reality?
20585Can not we understand how these men_ worshipped_ Canopus; became what we call Sabeans, worshipping the stars?
20585Can the man say,_ Fiat lux_, Let there be light; and out of chaos make a world?
20585Can we not understand him?
20585Come there not tones of Love and Faith, as from celestial harp- strings, like the Song of beautified Souls?
20585Compared with any speaker or singer one knows, even with Æschylus or Homer, why should he not, for veracity and universality, last like them?
20585Could she have driven so much as a brass- bound Gig, or even a simple iron- spring one?
20585Creative, we said: poetic creation, what is this too but_ seeing_ the thing sufficiently?
20585Death?
20585Did Hero- worship fail in Knox''s case?
20585Did he never stand so much as a contested Election?
20585Did he not, in spite of all, accomplish much for us?
20585Did not the Boy Alexander weep because he had not two Planets to conquer; or a whole Solar System; or after that, a whole Universe?
20585Did that reverend Basket- bearer intend, by such designation, to shadow- forth my future destiny, or his own present malign humour?
20585Did the Westminster Confession of Faith add some new property to the soul of man?
20585Do not Books still accomplish_ miracles_ as_ Runes_ were fabled to do?
20585Do not we feel it so?
20585Do our readers discern any such corner- stone, or even so much as what Teufelsdröckh is looking at?
20585Do we not see well enough how the Fable might arise, without unveracity on the part of any one?
20585Does Legion still lurk in him, though repressed; or has he exorcised that Devil''s Brood?
20585Does any reader''in the interior parts of England''know of such a man?
20585Does like join itself to like; does the spirit of method stir in that confusion, so that its embroilment becomes order?
20585Does not the following glimpse exhibit him in a much more natural state?
20585Dost thou, does man, so much as well know the Alphabet thereof?
20585Each one of us here, let the world go how it will, and be victorious or not victorious, has he not a Life of his own to lead?
20585Effect?
20585England, Scotland, Ireland, all lying now subdued at the feet of the Puritan Parliament, the practical question arose, What was to be done with it?
20585Ever the constitutional Formula: How came_ you_ there?
20585Every such man is the born enemy of Disorder; hates to be in it: but what then?
20585Fame, ambition, place in History?
20585Faults?
20585For Matter, were it never so despicable, is Spirit, the manifestation of Spirit: were it never so honourable, can it be more?
20585For have not I too a compact all- enclosing Skin, whiter or dingier?
20585For is not a Symbol ever, to him who has eyes for it, some dimmer or clearer revelation of the Godlike?
20585For our honour among foreign nations, as an ornament to our English Household, what item is there that we would not surrender rather than him?
20585For this world, and for all worlds, what curse is so fatal?
20585For what is it properly but an Altercation with the Devil, before you begin honestly Fighting him?
20585For which reason it was to be altered, not without underhand satire, into a plainer Symbol?
20585For which, as for other mercies, ought not he to thank the Upper Powers?
20585Forger and juggler?
20585From of old, a thousand thoughts, in his pilgrimings and wanderings, had been in this man: What am I?
20585From of old, was there not in his life a weight of meaning, a terror and a splendour as of Heaven itself?
20585From which is it not clear that the internal Satanic School was still active enough?
20585Given your Hero, is he to become Conqueror, King, Philosopher, Poet?
20585God has made many revelations: but this man too, has not God made him, the latest and newest of all?
20585Had Teufelsdröckh also a father and mother; did he, at one time, wear drivel- bibs, and live on spoon- meat?
20585Had not my first, last Faith in myself, when even to me the Heavens seemed laid open, and I dared to love, been all- too cruelly belied?
20585Had these men any quarrel?
20585Hadst thou not Greek enough to understand thus much:_ The end of Man is an Action, and not a Thought_, though it were the noblest?
20585Hadst thou, any more than I, a Father whom thou knowest?
20585Has he not solved for them the sphinx- enigma of this Universe; given assurance to them of their own destiny there?
20585Has he not the power of articulate Thinking; and many other powers, as yet miraculous?
20585Has it not_ been_, in this world, as a practised fact?
20585Has not each man a soul?
20585Hast thou not a Brain, furnished, furnishable with some glimmerings of Light; and three fingers to hold a Pen withal?
20585Hast thou well considered all that lies in this immeasurable froth- ocean we name LITERATURE?
20585Have any deepest scientific individuals yet dived- down to the foundations of the Universe, and gauged everything there?
20585Have we not seen him disappointed, bemocked of Destiny, through long years?
20585He asked of the Parliament, What it was they would decide upon?
20585He can say to himself:''Tools?
20585He courts no notice: what could notice here do for him?
20585He exclaims,''Or hast thou forgotten Paris and Voltaire?
20585He has the power of holding his peace over many things which do not vitally concern him,--"They?
20585He is the fatal man; unutterably fatal, put in the high places of men.--"Why complain of this?"
20585He was a great_ ébauche_, a rude- draught never completed; as indeed what great man is other?
20585He was a weak child, they told him; could he lift that Cat he saw there?
20585Hear in what earnest though fantastic wise he expresses himself on this head:''Shall Courtesy be done only to the rich, and only by the rich?
20585Here, looking round, as was our hest, for''organic filaments,''we ask, may not this, touching''Hero- worship,''be of the number?
20585Hero- worship,--Odin, Burns?
20585Hero- worship?
20585His love of Music, indeed, is not this, as it were, the summary of all these affections in him?
20585His scorn, his grief are as transcendent as his love;--as indeed, what are they but the_ inverse_ or_ converse_ of his love?
20585Homer yet_ is_, veritably present face to face with every open soul of us; and Greece, where is_ it_?
20585Hot weather?
20585How came he not to study his words a little, before flinging them out to the public?
20585How came it that the Wanderer advanced thither with such forecasting heart(_ ahndungsvoll_), by the side of his gay host?
20585How came it to evaporate, and not lie motionless?
20585How can a man act heroically?
20585How could a man travel forward from rustic deer- poaching to such tragedy- writing, and not fall- in with sorrows by the way?
20585How could he?
20585How could it else?
20585How could the rude Earth make these, if her Essence, rugged as she looks and is, were not inwardly Beauty?
20585How from such inorganic masses, henceforth madder than ever, as lie in these Bags, can even fragments of a living delineation be organised?
20585How happens it that no intelligence about the matter has come out directly to this country?
20585How is this; or what make ye of your_ Nothing can act but where it is_?
20585How much does one of us foresee of his own life?
20585How shall he stand otherwise?
20585How shall_ he_ give kindling, in whose own inward man there is no live coal, but all is burnt- out to a dead grammatical cinder?
20585How then could I believe in my Strength, when there was as yet no mirror to see it in?
20585How then?
20585How thou fermentest and elaboratest, in thy great fermenting- vat and laboratory of an Atmosphere, of a World, O Nature!--Or what is Nature?
20585How to regulate that struggle?
20585How was it, what was it?
20585How was this?
20585How will you govern these Nations, which Providence in a wondrous way has given- up to your disposal?
20585How?
20585However, that is not our chief grievance; the Professor continues:''Why multiply instances?
20585Hypocrite, mummer, the life of him a mere theatricality; empty barren quack, hungry for the shouts of mobs?
20585I do not assert Mahomet''s continual sincerity: who is continually sincere?
20585I said that Imagination wove this Flesh- Garment; and does not she?
20585I?
20585If Hero mean_ sincere man_, why may not every one of us be a Hero?
20585If he loved his Disenchantress?
20585If he owed any man?
20585If it prove otherwise, why should he murmur?
20585If our era is the Era of Unbelief, why murmur under it; is there not a better coming, nay come?
20585If so, what are those_ Prize- Questions_; what are the terms of Competition, and when and where?
20585In Death too, in the Death of the Just, as the last perfection of a Work of Art, may we not discern symbolic meaning?
20585In Pagan countries, can not one write Fetishes?
20585In all that respects openness of Sense, affectionate Temper, ingenuous Curiosity, and the fostering of these, what more could I have wished?
20585In all this what''hypocrisy,''''ambition,''''ca nt,''or other falsity?
20585In fact, if a man have any purpose reaching beyond the hour and day, meant to be found extant_ next_ day, what good can it ever be to promulgate lies?
20585In like manner, ask me not, Where are the LAWS; where is the GOVERNMENT?
20585In such circumstances what was needed?
20585In the commonest meeting of men, a person making, what we call,''set speeches,''is not he an offence?
20585In the one sense and in the other, are we not right glad to possess it?
20585In the same direction have not we their descendants since carried it far?
20585In which country, in which time, was it hitherto that man''s history, or the history of any man, went on by calculated or calculable"Motives"?
20585In which words, indicating a total estrangement on the part of Teufelsdröckh, may there not also lurk traces of a bitterness as from wounded vanity?
20585Increased Security and pleasurable Heat soon followed: but what of these?
20585Independence, in all kinds, is rebellion; if unjust rebellion, why parade it, and everywhere prescribe it?''
20585Influence?
20585Is he not in most countries a tax- paying animal?
20585Is it by short- clothes of yellow serge, and swineherd horns, that an infant of genius is educated?
20585Is it even of business, a matter to be done?
20585Is it of a truth leading us into beatific Asphodel meadows, or the yellow- burning marl of a Hell- on- Earth?
20585Is it such a blessedness to have clerks forever pestering you with bundles of papers in red tape?
20585Is not God''s Universe a Symbol of the Godlike; is not Immensity a Temple; is not Man''s History, and Men''s History, a perpetual Evangel?
20585Is not Shame(_ Schaam_) the soil of all Virtue, of all good manners and good morals?
20585Is not a man''s walking, in truth, always that:''a succession of falls''?
20585Is not all work of man in this world a_ making of Order_?
20585Is not every leaf of it a biography, every fibre there an act or word?
20585Is not he a Temple, then; the visible Manifestation and Impersonation of the Divinity?
20585Is not such a prize worth some striving?
20585Is not that a sign?''
20585Is not this the sincerest yet rudest voice of the spirit of man?
20585Is that a real Elysian brightness, cries many a timid wayfarer, or the reflex of Pandemonian lava?
20585Is that a wonder, which happens in two hours; and does it cease to be wonderful if happening in two million?
20585Is the Past annihilated, then, or only past; is the Future non- extant, or only future?
20585Is the heroic inspiration we name Virtue but some Passion; some bubble of the blood, bubbling in the direction others_ profit_ by?
20585Is the pitifullest mortal Person, think you, indifferent to us?
20585It is like Pococke asking Grotius, Where is your_ proof_ of Mahomet''s Pigeon?
20585It was Superstition, Fanaticism, disgraceful Ignorance of Constitutional Philosophy to insist on the other thing!--Liberty to_ tax_ oneself?
20585Joyful to men as the dawning of day from night;_ is_ it not, indeed, the awakening for them from no- being into being, from death into life?
20585Knowest thou none such?
20585Knowest thou that"_ Worship of Sorrow_"?
20585Let the Philosopher answer this one question: What figure, at that period, was a Mrs. Teufelsdröckh likely to make in polished society?
20585Liberty of judgment?
20585Lives the man that can figure a naked Duke of Windlestraw addressing a naked House of Lords?
20585Man is called a Laughing Animal: but do not the apes also laugh, or attempt to do it; and is the manliest man the greatest and oftenest laugher?
20585May we not call Shakspeare the still more melodious Priest of a_ true_ Catholicism, the''Universal Church''of the Future and of all times?
20585Meanwhile, for Andreas and his wife, the grand practical problem was: What to do with this little sleeping red- coloured Infant?
20585Meanwhile, the question of questions were: What specially is a Miracle?
20585Meanwhile, what portion of this inconsiderable terraqueous Globe have ye actually tilled and delved, till it will grow no more?
20585Men speak much of the Printing- Press with its Newspapers:_ du Himmel!_ what are these to Clothes and the Tailor''s Goose?''
20585Mighty fleets and armies, harbours and arsenals, vast cities, high- domed, many- engined,--they are precious, great: but what do they become?
20585Mirabeau''s ambition to be Prime Minister, how shall we blame it, if he were''the only man in France that could have done any good there''?
20585Miracles?
20585Money?
20585Morality itself, what we call the moral quality of a man, what is this but another_ side_ of the one vital Force whereby he is and works?
20585Mother of God?
20585Mother?
20585Namely, that while the Beacon- fire blazed its brightest, the Watchman had quitted it; that no pilgrim could now ask him: Watchman, what of the Night?
20585Names?
20585Napoleon looking up into the stars, answers,"Very ingenious, Messieurs: but_ who made_ all that?"
20585Napoleon''s working, accordingly, what was it with all the noise it made?
20585Nay I may ask, Is not every true Reformer, by the nature of him, a_ Priest_ first of all?
20585Nay here in these pages, such as they are, have we not two mere Poets, if not deified, yet we may say beatified?
20585Nay not only our preaching, but even our worship, is not it too accomplished by means of Printed Books?
20585Nay, a man preaching from his earnest_ soul_ into the earnest_ souls_ of men: is not this virtually the essence of all Churches whatsoever?
20585Nay, at bottom, what else is alive_ but_ Protestantism?
20585Nay, even for the basest Sensualist, what is Sense but the implement of Fantasy; the vessel it drinks out of?
20585Nay, has not perhaps the Motive- grinder himself been_ in Love_?
20585Nay, in any case, would Criticism erect not only finger- posts and turnpikes, but spiked gates and impassable barriers, for the mind of man?
20585Nay, is it not what all zealous men, whether called Priests, Prophets, or whatsoever else called, do essentially wish, and must wish?
20585Nevertheless, wayward as our Professor shows himself, is there any reader that can part with him in declared enmity?
20585Nevertheless, which of the two was the more cunningly- devised article, even as an Engine?
20585Nevertheless, you will say, there must be a difference between true Poetry and true Speech not poetical: what is the difference?
20585Not so Cromwell:"For all our fighting,"says he,"we are to have a little bit of paper?"
20585Not to pay- out money from your pocket except on reason shown?
20585Notoriety: what would that do for him?
20585O Heavens, is it, in very deed, HE, then, that ever speaks through thee; that lives and loves in thee, that lives and loves in me?
20585Of Odin what history?
20585Of a man or of a nation we inquire, therefore, first of all, What religion they had?
20585Of all acts, is not, for a man,_ repentance_ the most divine?
20585Of what station in Life was she; of what parentage, fortune, aspect?
20585Oliver''s life at St Ives or Ely, as a sober industrious Farmer, is it not altogether as that of a true and devout man?
20585Once more I say, sweep away the illusion of Time; compress the threescore years into three minutes: what else was he, what else are we?
20585Only a torch for burning, no hammer for building?
20585Or are we made of other clay now?
20585Or coming into lower, less_ un_speakable provinces, is not all Loyalty akin to religious Faith also?
20585Or even where is the use of such practical reflections as the following?
20585Or has the Professor his own deeper intention; and laughs in his sleeve at our strictures and glosses, which indeed are but a part thereof?
20585Or hast thou forgotten the day when thou first receivedst breeches, and thy long clothes became short?
20585Or how, without Clothes, could we possess the master- organ, soul''s seat, and true pineal gland of the Body Social: I mean, a PURSE?''
20585Or indeed what of the world and its victories?
20585Or is the God present, felt in my own heart, a thing which Herr von Voltaire will dispute out of me; or dispute into me?
20585Or is this merely one of his half- sophisms, half- truisms, which if he can but set on the back of a Figure, he cares not whither it gallop?
20585Or was there something of intended satire; is the Professor and Seer not quite the blinkard he affects to be?
20585Or what of Scotland?
20585Or, on the other hand, what is there that we can not love; since all was created by God?
20585Our own Wednesday, as I said, is it not still Odin''s Day?
20585Over- population: With a world like ours and wide as ours, can there be too many men?
20585Peace?
20585Perhaps also in the following; wherewith we now hasten to knit- up this ravelled sleeve:''But there is no Religion?''
20585Plummet''s?
20585Popeship, spiritual Fatherhood of God''s Church, is that a vain semblance, of cloth and parchment?
20585Possible?
20585Precious they; but also is not he precious?
20585Pure?
