38091 | Where would he have been if I had called my article"a critique of pure faith"or words to that effect? |
38091 | Whereas the real point is,"Does he need us?" |
38091 | Who could suppose so much public ferocity to cover so much private sweetness? |
38091 | Who knew him most intimately? |
38091 | Who knows? |
38091 | Why am I not ten years younger? |
38091 | Why do you believe in God? |
38091 | Why may they not be_ something_, although not everything? |
38091 | Why seek to stop the really extremely important experiences which these peculiar creatures are rolling up? |
38091 | Why should life be so short? |
38091 | Why this mania for more laws? |
38091 | Why, for example, write any more reviews? |
38091 | Why_ may_ we not be in the universe as our dogs and cats are in our drawing- rooms and libraries? |
38091 | Will they ever come again? |
38091 | You"have your faults, as who has not?" |

38091 | [ 57]"Is Radical Empiricism Solipsistic?" |
38091 | [ Illustration: William James and Henry Clement, at the"Putnam Shanty,"in the Adirondacks( 1907?).] |
38091 | _ A combination of Ideality and( final) efficacity._( 1) Is He a person-- if so, what do you mean by His being a person? |
38091 | _ Aussi_, why do the medical brethren force an unoffending citizen like me into such a position? |
38091 | _ Dimly[ real]; not[ as an earthly friend]._ Do you feel that you have experienced His presence? |
38091 | _ Emphatically, no._ Or( 2) Because you have experienced His presence? |
38091 | _ He must be cognizant and responsive in some way._( 2) Or is He only a Force? |
38091 | _ I ca n''t use him very definitely, yet I believe._ Do you accept Him not so much as a real existent Being, but rather as an ideal to live by? |
38091 | _ It involves these._( 4) Or something else? |
38091 | _ Never keenly; but more strongly as I grow older._ If so, why? |
38091 | _ Never._ How vague or how distinct is it? |
38091 | _ No, but rather because I need it so that it"must"be true._ Or( 3) From authority, such as that of the Bible or of some prophetic person? |
38091 | _ Only the whole tradition of religious people, to which something in me makes admiring response._ Or( 4) From any other reason? |

38091 | _ Yes._( 2) An emotional experience? |
38091 | and how Ritter? |
38091 | and where is there room for faith? |
38091 | but what''s the use of wishing, against the universal law that"youth''s a stuff will not endure,"and that we must simply make the best of it? |
38091 | do you know what medicinal things you ask me to give up? |
38091 | have I praised you enough? |
38091 | in either case? |
38091 | in the concrete? |
38091 | or to head the Revolution? |
38091 | or whether it might not have been much better than what came? |
1051 | ''But is it not the deepest Law of Nature that she be constant?'' 1051 ''But is not a real Miracle simply a violation of the Laws of Nature?'' |
1051 | Again, could anything be more miraculous than an actual authentic Ghost? 1051 And yet, O Man born of Woman,"cries the Autobiographer, with one of his sudden whirls,"wherein is my case peculiar? |
1051 | But if such things,continues he,"were done in the dry tree, what will be done in the green? |
1051 | But thou as yet standest in no Temple; joinest in no Psalm- worship; feelest well that, where there is no ministering Priest, the people perish? 1051 But what boots it(_ was thut''s_)?" |
1051 | Do we not see a little subdivision of the grand Utilitarian Armament come to light even in insulated England? 1051 For whether thou bear a sceptre or a sledge- hammer, art not thou ALIVE; is not this thy brother ALIVE? |
1051 | Great practical method and expertnesshe may brag of; but is there not also great practical pride, though deep- hidden, only the deeper- seated? |
1051 | How I lived? |
1051 | I asked myself: What is this that, ever since earliest years, thou hast been fretting and fuming, and lamenting and self- tormenting, on account of? 1051 Meanwhile what are antiquated Mythuses to me? |
1051 | Nevertheless, need I put the question to any Physiologist, whether it is disputable or not? 1051 Of great Scenes why speak? |
1051 | Or 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? |
1051 | The Soul Politic having departed,says Teufelsdrockh,"what can follow but that the Body Politic be decently interred, to avoid putrescence? |
1051 | To the eye of vulgar Logic,says he,"what is man? |
1051 | Were 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? |
1051 | What, 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? |
1051 | A Voice, a Motion, an Appearance;--some embodied, visualized Idea in the Eternal Mind? |
1051 | A man that devotes his life to learning, shall he not be learned? |
1051 | A new Adamite, in this century, which flatters itself that it is the Nineteenth, and destructive both to Superstition and Enthusiasm? |
1051 | Again, leaving that wondrous Schwarzwald Smithy- Altar, what vacant, high- sailing air- ships are these, and whither will they sail with us? |
1051 | Again, what Cookery does the Greenlander use, beyond stowing up his whale- blubber, as a marmot, in the like case, might do? |
1051 | Again, what may the unchristian rather than Christian''Diogenes''mean? |
1051 | Again,_ Nothing can act but where it is_: with all my heart; only, WHERE is it? |
1051 | Alas, the fearful Unbelief is unbelief in yourself; and how could I believe? |
1051 | Am I a botched mass of tailors''and cobblers''shreds, then; or a tightly articulated, homogeneous little Figure, automatic, nay alive? |
1051 | Am I to view the Stupendous with stupid indifference, because I have seen it twice, or two hundred, or two million times? |
1051 | An unmetaphorical style you shall in vain seek for: is not your very_ Attention_ a_ Stretching- to_? |
1051 | And knowest thou no Prophet, even in the vesture, environment, and dialect of this age? |
1051 | And now does the spiritual, eternal Essence of Man, and of Mankind, bared of such wrappages, begin in any measure to reveal itself? |
1051 | And now of you, too, I make the old inquiry: What those same unalterable rules, forming the complete Statute- Book of Nature, may possibly be? |
1051 | And now, for all this perennial Martyrdom, and Poesy, and even Prophecy, what is it that the Dandy asks in return? |
1051 | And then? |
1051 | And yet why is the thing impossible? |
1051 | And yet, thou brave Teufelsdrockh, who could tell what lurked in thee? |
1051 | Are not our Bodies and our Souls in continual movement, whether we will or not; in a continual Waste, requiring a continual Repair? |
1051 | Are they not Souls rendered visible: in Bodies, that took shape and will lose it, melting into air? |
1051 | Are we not Spirits, that are shaped into a body, into an Appearance; and that fade away again into air and Invisibility? |
1051 | Are we returning, as Rousseau prayed, to the state of Nature? |
1051 | Art not thou the''Living Garment of God''? |
1051 | Art thou not tried, and beaten with stripes, even as I am? |
1051 | Art thou the malignest of Sansculottists, or only the maddest? |
1051 | At a small cost men are educated to make leather into shoes; but at a great cost, what am I educated to make? |
1051 | Because the THOU( sweet gentleman) is not sufficiently honored, nourished, soft- bedded, and lovingly cared for? |
1051 | Besides, of what profit were it? |
1051 | Bright, nimble creatures, who taught you the mason- craft; nay, stranger still, gave you a masonic incorporation, almost social police? |
1051 | But how came"the Wanderer"into her circle? |
1051 | But is not this same looking through the Shows, or Vestures, into the Things, even the first preliminary to a_ Philosophy of Clothes_? |
1051 | But nobler than all in this kind are the Lives of heroic god- inspired Men; for what other Work of Art is so divine? |
1051 | But what does the writer mean by''Baphometic fire- baptism''? |
1051 | But what next? |
1051 | But what of the awe- struck Wakeful who find it a Reality? |
1051 | But what then? |
1051 | But what then? |
1051 | But what was her surname, or had she none? |
1051 | But whence?--O Heaven whither? |
1051 | But why,"says the Hofrath, and indeed say we,"do I dilate on the uses of our Teufelsdrockh''s Biography? |
1051 | But, alas, what vehicle of that sort have we, except_ Fraser''s Magazine_? |
1051 | By way of proem, take the following not injudicious remarks:--"The benignant efficacies of Concealment,"cries our Professor,"who shall speak or sing? |
1051 | By which last wire- drawn similitude does Teufelsdrockh mean no more than that young men find obstacles in what we call"getting under way"? |
1051 | Can I choose my own King? |
1051 | Can a Tartar be said to cook, when he only readies his steak by riding on it? |
1051 | Can any Sovereign, or Holy Alliance of Sovereigns, bid Time stand still; even in thought, shake themselves free of Time? |
1051 | Can he not arrest for debt? |
1051 | Come there not tones of Love and Faith, as from celestial harp- strings, like the Song of beatified Souls? |
1051 | Could she have driven so much as a brass- bound Gig, or even a simple iron- spring one? |
1051 | Death? |
1051 | Did he never stand so much as a contested Election? |
1051 | Did not the Boy Alexander weep because he had not two Planets to conquer; or a whole Solar System; or after that, a whole Universe? |
1051 | Did that reverend Basket- bearer intend, by such designation, to shadow forth my future destiny, or his own present malign humor? |
1051 | Do our readers discern any such corner- stone, or even so much as what Teufelsdrockh, is looking at? |
1051 | Does Legion still lurk in him, though repressed; or has he exorcised that Devil''s Brood? |
1051 | Does any reader"in the interior parts of England"know of such a man? |
1051 | Does not the following glimpse exhibit him in a much more natural state? |
1051 | Dost thou, does man, so much as well know the Alphabet thereof? |
1051 | Doth not thy cow calve, doth not thy bull gender? |
1051 | For Matter, were it never so despicable, is Spirit, the manifestation of Spirit: were it never so honorable, can it be more? |
1051 | For have not I too a compact all- enclosing Skin, whiter or dingier? |
1051 | For is not a Symbol ever, to him who has eyes for it, some dimmer or clearer revelation of the Godlike? |
1051 | For what is it properly but an Altercation with the Devil, before you begin honestly Fighting him? |
1051 | For which reason it was to be altered, not without underhand satire, into a plainer Symbol? |
1051 | For which, as for other mercies, ought not he to thank the Upper Powers? |
1051 | From which is it not clear that the internal Satanic School was still active enough? |
1051 | Had Teufelsdrockh also a father and mother; did he, at one time, wear drivel- bibs, and live on spoon- meat? |
1051 | Had 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? |
1051 | Had these men any quarrel? |
1051 | Hadst thou not Greek enough to understand thus much:_ The end of Man is an Action, and not a Thought_, though it were the noblest? |
1051 | Hadst thou, any more than I, a Father whom thou knowest? |
1051 | Hast thou not a Brain, furnished, furnishable with some glimmerings of Light; and three fingers to hold a Pen withal? |
1051 | Hast thou well considered all that lies in this immeasurable froth- ocean we name LITERATURE? |
1051 | Have any deepest scientific individuals yet dived down to the foundations of the Universe, and gauged everything there? |
1051 | Have we not seen him disappointed, bemocked of Destiny, through long years? |
1051 | He can say to himself:"Tools? |
1051 | He exclaims,"Or hast thou forgotten Paris and Voltaire? |
1051 | Hear 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? |
1051 | Here, looking round, as was our hest, for"organic filaments,"we ask, may not this, touching"Hero- worship,"be of the number? |
1051 | How came it that the Wanderer advanced thither with such forecasting heart(_ ahndungsvoll_), by the side of his gay host? |
1051 | How came it to evaporate, and not lie motionless? |
1051 | How from such inorganic masses, henceforth madder than ever, as lie in these Bags, can even fragments of a living delineation be organized? |
1051 | How happens it that no intelligence about the matter has come out directly to this country? |
1051 | How is this; or what make ye of your_ Nothing can act but where it is_? |
1051 | How shall_ he_ give kindling, in whose own inward man there is no live coal, but all is burnt out to a dead grammatical cinder? |
1051 | How then could I believe in my Strength, when there was as yet no mirror to see it in? |
1051 | How then? |
1051 | How thou fermentest and elaboratest, in thy great fermenting- vat and laboratory of an Atmosphere, of a World, O Nature!--Or what is Nature? |
1051 | How? |
1051 | However, that is not our chief grievance; the Professor continues:--"Why multiply instances? |
1051 | I said that Imagination wove this Flesh- Garment; and does not she? |
1051 | If he loved his Disenchantress? |
1051 | If it prove otherwise, why should he murmur? |
1051 | If our era is the Era of Unbelief, why murmur under it; is there not a better coming, nay come? |
1051 | If so, what are those_ Prize- Questions_; what are the terms of Competition, and when and where? |
1051 | In Death too, in the Death of the Just, as the last perfection of a Work of Art, may we not discern symbolic meaning? |
1051 | In Pagan countries, can not one write Fetishes? |
1051 | In all that respects openness of Sense, affectionate Temper, ingenuous Curiosity, and the fostering of these, what more could I have wished? |
1051 | In like manner, ask me not, Where are the LAWS; where is the GOVERNMENT? |
1051 | In 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''? |
1051 | In which words, indicating a total estrangement on the part of Teufelsdrockh may there not also lurk traces of a bitterness as from wounded vanity? |
1051 | Increased Security and pleasurable Heat soon followed: but what of these? |
1051 | Independence, in all kinds, is rebellion; if unjust rebellion, why parade it, and everywhere prescribe it?" |
1051 | Is he not in most countries a taxpaying animal? |
1051 | Is it by short clothes of yellow serge, and swineherd horns, that an infant of genius is educated? |
1051 | Is it of a truth leading us into beatific Asphodel meadows, or the yellow- burning marl of a Hell- on- Earth? |
1051 | Is 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? |
1051 | Is not Shame(_ Schaam_) the soil of all Virtue, of all good manners and good morals? |
1051 | Is not he a Temple, then; the visible Manifestation and Impersonation of the Divinity? |
1051 | Is not such a prize worth some striving? |
1051 | Is that a real Elysian brightness, cries many a timid wayfarer, or the reflex of Pandemonian lava? |
1051 | Is that a wonder, which happens in two hours; and does it cease to be wonderful if happening in two million? |
1051 | Is the Past annihilated, then, or only past; is the Future non- extant, or only future? |
1051 | Is the heroic inspiration we name Virtue but some Passion; some bubble of the blood, bubbling in the direction others_ profit_ by? |
1051 | Is the pitifullest mortal Person, think you, indifferent to us? |
1051 | Knowest thou none such? |
1051 | Knowest thou that''_ Worship of Sorrow_''? |
1051 | Let the Philosopher answer this one question: What figure, at that period, was a Mrs. Teufelsdrockh likely to make in polished society? |
1051 | Lives the man that can figure a naked Duke of Windlestraw addressing a naked House of Lords? |
1051 | Man 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? |
1051 | Meanwhile, for Andreas and his wife, the grand practical problem was: What to do with this little sleeping red- colored Infant? |
1051 | Meanwhile, the question of questions were: What specially is a Miracle? |
1051 | Meanwhile, what portion of this inconsiderable terraqueous Globe have ye actually tilled and delved, till it will grow no more? |
1051 | Namely, 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? |
1051 | Names? |
1051 | Nay, even for the basest Sensualist, what is Sense but the implement of Fantasy; the vessel it drinks out of? |
1051 | Nay, has not perhaps the Motive- grinder himself been in_ Love_? |
1051 | Nay, in any case, would Criticism erect not only finger- posts and turnpikes, but spiked gates and impassable barriers, for the mind of man? |
1051 | Nevertheless, wayward as our Professor shows himself, is there any reader that can part with him in declared enmity? |
1051 | Nevertheless, which of the two was the more cunningly devised article, even as an Engine? |
1051 | O 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? |
1051 | Of what station in Life was she; of what parentage, fortune, aspect? |
1051 | Once more I say, sweep away the illusion of Time; compress the threescore years into three minutes: what else was he, what else are we? |
1051 | Only a torch for burning, no hammer for building? |
1051 | Or even where is the use of such practical reflections as the following? |
1051 | Or has the Professor his own deeper intention; and laughs in his sleeve at our strictures and glosses, which indeed are but a part thereof? |
1051 | Or hast thou forgotten the day when thou first receivedst breeches, and thy long clothes became short? |
1051 | Or how, without Clothes, could we possess the master- organ, soul''s seat, and true pineal gland of the Body Social: I mean, a PURSE?" |
1051 | Or is the God present, felt in my own heart, a thing which Herr von Voltaire will dispute out of me; or dispute into me? |
1051 | Or 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? |
1051 | Or was there something of intended satire; is the Professor and Seer not quite the blinkard he affects to be? |
1051 | Or, cries the courteous reader, has your Teufelsdrockh forgotten what he said lately about"Aboriginal Savages,"and their"condition miserable indeed"? |
1051 | Or, on the other hand, what is there that we can not love; since all was created by God? |
1051 | Perhaps also in the following; wherewith we now hasten to knit up this ravelled sleeve:--"But there is no Religion?" |
1051 | Plummet''s? |
1051 | Remarkable, moreover, is this saying of his:"How were Friendship possible? |
1051 | Rest? |
1051 | Said I not, Before the old skin was shed, the new had formed itself beneath it?" |
1051 | Say it in a word: is it not because thou art not HAPPY? |
1051 | Seems it not at least presumable, that, under his Clothes, the Tailor has bones and viscera, and other muscles than the sartorius? |
1051 | Seldom reflecting that still the new question comes upon us: What is Madness, what are Nerves? |
1051 | Shall I not have all Eternity to rest in?'' |
1051 | Some 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?" |
1051 | Spake we not of a Communion of Saints, unseen, yet not unreal, accompanying and brother- like embracing thee, so thou be worthy? |
1051 | Stands he not thereby in the centre of Immensities, in the conflux of Eternities? |
1051 | Sure enough, I am; and lately was not: but Whence? |
1051 | Than which paragraph on Metaphors did the reader ever chance to see a more surprisingly metaphorical? |
1051 | That living flood, pouring through these streets, of all qualities and ages, knowest thou whence it is coming, whither it is going? |
1051 | The 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?" |
1051 | The first ground handful of Nitre, Sulphur, and Charcoal drove Monk Schwartz''s pestle through the ceiling: what will the last do? |
1051 | The stirring of a child''s finger brings the two together; and then-- What then? |
1051 | The thunder- struck Air- sailor is not wanting to himself in this dread hour: but what avails it? |
1051 | The voice of Prophecy has gone dumb? |
1051 | The 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? |
1051 | Then, have we not a Doctrine of Rent, a Theory of Value; Philosophies of Language, of History, of Pottery, of Apparitions, of Intoxicating Liquors? |
1051 | There are not wanting men who will answer: Does your Professor take us for simpletons? |
1051 | Therefrom he preaches what most momentous doctrine is in him, for man''s salvation; and dost not thou listen, and believe? |
1051 | These Limbs, whence had we them; this stormy Force; this life- blood with its burning Passion? |
1051 | These are Apparitions: what else? |
1051 | Thinkest thou there is aught motionless; without Force, and utterly dead? |
1051 | This is even what I dispute: but in any case, hast thou not still Preaching enough? |
1051 | Thou art still Nothing, Nobody: true; but who, then, is Something, Somebody? |
1051 | Thou foolish Teufelsdrockh How could it else? |
1051 | Thou foolish"absolved Auscultator,"before whom lies no prospect of capital, will any yet known"religion of young hearts"keep the human kitchen warm? |
1051 | Thou hast no Tools? |
1051 | Thou thyself, wert thou not born, wilt thou not die? |
1051 | Thus has not the Editor himself, working over Teufelsdrockh''s German, lost much of his own English purity? |
1051 | Thus, were it not miraculous, could I stretch forth my hand and clutch the Sun? |
1051 | Thy very Hatred, thy very Envy, those foolish Lies thou tellest of me in thy splenetic humor: what is all this but an inverted Sympathy? |
1051 | To the eye of Pure Reason what is he? |
1051 | To the''_ Worship of Sorrow_''ascribe what origin and genesis thou pleasest,_ has_ not that Worship originated, and been generated; is it not_ here_? |
1051 | Unhappy Teufelsdrockh, had man ever such a"physical or psychical infirmity"before? |
1051 | Want, want!--Ha, of what? |
1051 | Was Luther''s Picture of the Devil less a Reality, whether it were formed within the bodily eye, or without it? |
1051 | Was Teufelsdrockh also a fringe, of lace or cobweb; or promising to be such? |
1051 | Was her real name Flora, then? |
1051 | Was it by the humid vehicle of_ AEsthetic Tea_, or by the arid one of mere Business? |
1051 | Was it not the still higher Orpheus, or Orpheuses, who, in past centuries, by the divine Music of Wisdom, succeeded in civilizing Man? |
1051 | Was she not to him in very deed a Morning- star; did not her presence bring with it airs from Heaven? |
1051 | Was the attraction, the agitation mutual, then; pole and pole trembling towards contact, when once brought into neighborhood? |
1051 | Was there so much as a fault, a''caprice,''he could have dispensed with? |
1051 | We ask in turn: Why perplex these times, profane as they are, with needless obscurity, by omission and by commission? |
1051 | We 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? |
1051 | Were I a Steam- engine, wouldst thou take the trouble to tell lies of me? |
1051 | Were thy three broad Highways, meeting here from the ends of Europe, made for Ammunition- wagons, then? |
1051 | What Act of Legislature was there that_ thou_ shouldst be Happy? |
1051 | What English intellect could have chosen such a topic, or by chance stumbled on it? |
1051 | What are all your national Wars, with their Moscow Retreats, and sanguinary hate- filled Revolutions, but the Somnambulism of uneasy Sleepers? |
1051 | What are your Axioms, and Categories, and Systems, and Aphorisms? |
1051 | What argument will avail? |
1051 | What cares the world for our as yet miniature Philosopher''s achievements under that"brave old Linden"? |
1051 | What henceforth becomes of the brave Herr Towgood, or Toughgut? |
1051 | What is the use of health, or of life, if not to do some work therewith? |
1051 | What make ye of your Christianities, and Chivalries, and Reformations, and Marseillaise Hymns, and Reigns of Terror? |
1051 | What then? |
1051 | What, for example, are we to make of such sentences as the following? |
1051 | What, for instance, was in that clouted Shoe, which the Peasants bore aloft with them as ensign in their_ Bauernkrieg_( Peasants''War)? |
1051 | What, then, was our Professor''s possession? |
1051 | Whence, then, their so unspeakable difference? |
1051 | Where, then, is that same cunningly devised almighty GOVERNMENT of theirs to be laid hands on? |
1051 | Wherefore, like a coward, dost thou forever pip and whimper, and go cowering and trembling? |
1051 | Wherein consists the usefulness of this Apron? |
1051 | Whereto? |

20585 | ''Great practical method and expertness''he may brag of; but is there not also great practical pride, though deep- hidden, only the deeper- seated? |
20585 | ''How I lived?'' |
20585 | ''Hypocrisy''? |
20585 | ''I asked myself: What is this that, ever since earliest years, thou hast been fretting and fuming, and lamenting and self- tormenting, on account of? |

20585 | Again,_ Nothing can act but where it is_: with all my heart; only, WHERE is it? |
20585 | Ah, does not every true man feel that he is himself made higher by doing reverence to what is really above him? |
20585 | Alas, is not this the history of all highest Truth that comes or ever came into the world? |
20585 | Alas, was not his doom stern enough? |
20585 | Alas, 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?" |

20585 | An unmetaphorical style you shall in vain seek for: is not your very_ Attention_ a_ Stretching- to_? |
20585 | And accordingly was there not what we can call a_ faith_ in him, genuine so far as it went? |
20585 | And did he not interpret the dim purport of it well? |
20585 | And if_ true_, was it not then the very thing to do? |
20585 | And indeed may we not say that intellect altogether expresses itself in this power of discerning what an object is? |
20585 | And knowest thou no Prophet, even in the vesture, environment, and dialect of this age? |
20585 | And now does the Spiritual, eternal Essence of Man, and of Mankind, bared of such wrappages, begin in any measure to reveal itself? |
20585 | And now in this sense, one may ask, Is not all worship whatsoever a worship by Symbols, by_ eidola_, or things seen? |
20585 | And now of you, too, I make the old inquiry: What those same unalterable rules, forming the complete Statute- Book of Nature, may possibly be? |
20585 | And now still, what hinders it from being the name of a Heroic Man and_ Mover_, as well as of a god? |
20585 | And now, for all this perennial Martyrdom, and Poesy, and even Prophecy, what is it that the Dandy asks in return? |
20585 | And then the''honour''? |
20585 | And then? |
20585 | And thereupon the unbelievers sneer and ask, Is this your man according to God''s own heart? |
20585 | And we call it''dissimulation,''all this? |
20585 | And what therefore is loyalty proper, the life- breath of all society, but an effluence of Hero- worship, submissive admiration for the truly great? |
20585 | And who are you that prate of Constitutional Formulas, rights of Parliament? |
20585 | And yet what were all Emperors, Popes and Potentates, in comparison? |
20585 | And yet withal this hypochondria, what was it but the very greatness of the man? |
20585 | And yet, thou brave Teufelsdröckh, who could tell what lurked in thee? |
20585 | Answer it;_ thou_ must find an answer.--Ambition? |
20585 | Are not all dialects''artificial''? |
20585 | Are not our Bodies and our Souls in continual movement, whether we will or not; in a continual Waste, requiring a continual Repair? |
20585 | Are not you yourselves there? |
20585 | Are they base, miserable things? |
20585 | Are they not Souls rendered visible: in Bodies, that took shape and will lose it, melting into air? |
20585 | Are we not Spirits, that are shaped into a body, into an Appearance; and that fade- away again into air and Invisibility? |
20585 | Are we returning, as Rousseau prayed, to the state of Nature? |
20585 | Are 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? |
20585 | Art not thou the"Living Garment of God"? |
20585 | Art thou not tired, and beaten with stripes, even as I am? |
20585 | Art thou the malignest of Sansculottists, or only the maddest? |
20585 | As for the Old Woman, she was_ Time_, Old Age, Duration; with her what can wrestle? |
20585 | Ask now, What Paganism could have been? |
20585 | At a small cost men are educated to make leather into shoes; but at a great cost, what am I educated to make? |
20585 | Ay, what? |
20585 | Bad methods: but are they so much worse than our methods,--of understanding him to be always the eldest born of a certain genealogy? |
20585 | Ballot- boxes, suffrages, French Revolutions:--if we are as Valets, and do not know the Hero when we see him, what good are all these? |
20585 | Because the THOU( sweet gentleman) is not sufficiently honoured, nourished, soft- bedded, and lovingly cared for? |
20585 | Begging 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? |
20585 | Besides, of what profit were it? |
20585 | Bright, nimble creatures, who taught_ you_ the mason- craft; nay, stranger still, gave you a masonic incorporation, almost social police? |
20585 | But alas, what help now? |
20585 | But 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? |
20585 | But how came''the Wanderer''into her circle? |
20585 | But how shall we blame_ him_ for struggling to realise it? |
20585 | But how was this to be done? |
20585 | But if you ask, Which is the worst? |
20585 | But 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? |
20585 | But is not this same looking through the Shows, or Vestures, into the Things, even the first preliminary to a_ Philosophy of Clothes_? |
20585 | But nobler than all in this kind, are the Lives of heroic god- inspired Men; for what other Work of Art is so divine? |
20585 | But now, intrinsically, is not all this the inevitable fortune, not of a false man in such times, but simply of a superior man? |
20585 | But what does the writer mean by''Baphometic fire- baptism''? |
20585 | But what next? |
20585 | But what of the awestruck Wakeful who find it a Reality? |
20585 | But what then? |
20585 | But what then? |
20585 | But what was her surname, or had she none? |
20585 | But whence?--O Heaven, whither? |
20585 | But why,''says the Hofrath, and indeed say we,''do I dilate on the uses of our Teufelsdröckh''s Biography? |
20585 | But would it be a kindness always, is it a duty always or often, to disturb them in that? |
20585 | But, alas, what vehicle of that sort have we, except_ Fraser''s Magazine_? |
20585 | By way of proem, take the following not injudicious remarks:''The benignant efficacies of Concealment,''cries our Professor,''who shall speak or sing? |
20585 | By which last wiredrawn similitude does Teufelsdröckh mean no more than that young men find obstacles in what we call''getting under way''? |
20585 | Can I choose my own King? |
20585 | Can a Tartar be said to cook, when he only readies his steak by riding on it? |
20585 | Can any Sovereign, or Holy Alliance of Sovereigns, bid Time stand still; even in thought, shake themselves free of Time? |
20585 | Can he not arrest for debt? |
20585 | Can not a man do without King''s Coaches and Cloaks? |
20585 | Can not we conceive that Odin was a reality? |
20585 | Can not we understand how these men_ worshipped_ Canopus; became what we call Sabeans, worshipping the stars? |
20585 | Can the man say,_ Fiat lux_, Let there be light; and out of chaos make a world? |
20585 | Can we not understand him? |
20585 | Come there not tones of Love and Faith, as from celestial harp- strings, like the Song of beautified Souls? |
20585 | Compared with any speaker or singer one knows, even with Æschylus or Homer, why should he not, for veracity and universality, last like them? |
20585 | Could she have driven so much as a brass- bound Gig, or even a simple iron- spring one? |
20585 | Creative, we said: poetic creation, what is this too but_ seeing_ the thing sufficiently? |
20585 | Death? |
20585 | Did Hero- worship fail in Knox''s case? |
20585 | Did he never stand so much as a contested Election? |
20585 | Did he not, in spite of all, accomplish much for us? |
20585 | Did not the Boy Alexander weep because he had not two Planets to conquer; or a whole Solar System; or after that, a whole Universe? |
20585 | Did that reverend Basket- bearer intend, by such designation, to shadow- forth my future destiny, or his own present malign humour? |
20585 | Did the Westminster Confession of Faith add some new property to the soul of man? |
20585 | Do not Books still accomplish_ miracles_ as_ Runes_ were fabled to do? |
20585 | Do not we feel it so? |
20585 | Do our readers discern any such corner- stone, or even so much as what Teufelsdröckh is looking at? |
20585 | Do we not see well enough how the Fable might arise, without unveracity on the part of any one? |
20585 | Does Legion still lurk in him, though repressed; or has he exorcised that Devil''s Brood? |
20585 | Does any reader''in the interior parts of England''know of such a man? |
20585 | Does like join itself to like; does the spirit of method stir in that confusion, so that its embroilment becomes order? |
20585 | Does not the following glimpse exhibit him in a much more natural state? |
20585 | Dost thou, does man, so much as well know the Alphabet thereof? |
20585 | Each 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? |
20585 | Effect? |
20585 | England, Scotland, Ireland, all lying now subdued at the feet of the Puritan Parliament, the practical question arose, What was to be done with it? |
20585 | Ever the constitutional Formula: How came_ you_ there? |
20585 | Every such man is the born enemy of Disorder; hates to be in it: but what then? |
20585 | Fame, ambition, place in History? |
20585 | Faults? |
20585 | For Matter, were it never so despicable, is Spirit, the manifestation of Spirit: were it never so honourable, can it be more? |
20585 | For have not I too a compact all- enclosing Skin, whiter or dingier? |
20585 | For is not a Symbol ever, to him who has eyes for it, some dimmer or clearer revelation of the Godlike? |
20585 | For our honour among foreign nations, as an ornament to our English Household, what item is there that we would not surrender rather than him? |
20585 | For this world, and for all worlds, what curse is so fatal? |
20585 | For what is it properly but an Altercation with the Devil, before you begin honestly Fighting him? |
20585 | For which reason it was to be altered, not without underhand satire, into a plainer Symbol? |
20585 | For which, as for other mercies, ought not he to thank the Upper Powers? |
20585 | Forger and juggler? |
20585 | From of old, a thousand thoughts, in his pilgrimings and wanderings, had been in this man: What am I? |
20585 | From of old, was there not in his life a weight of meaning, a terror and a splendour as of Heaven itself? |
20585 | From which is it not clear that the internal Satanic School was still active enough? |
20585 | Given your Hero, is he to become Conqueror, King, Philosopher, Poet? |
20585 | God has made many revelations: but this man too, has not God made him, the latest and newest of all? |
20585 | Had Teufelsdröckh also a father and mother; did he, at one time, wear drivel- bibs, and live on spoon- meat? |
20585 | Had 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? |
20585 | Had these men any quarrel? |
20585 | Hadst thou not Greek enough to understand thus much:_ The end of Man is an Action, and not a Thought_, though it were the noblest? |
20585 | Hadst thou, any more than I, a Father whom thou knowest? |
20585 | Has he not solved for them the sphinx- enigma of this Universe; given assurance to them of their own destiny there? |
20585 | Has he not the power of articulate Thinking; and many other powers, as yet miraculous? |
20585 | Has it not_ been_, in this world, as a practised fact? |
20585 | Has not each man a soul? |
20585 | Hast thou not a Brain, furnished, furnishable with some glimmerings of Light; and three fingers to hold a Pen withal? |
20585 | Hast thou well considered all that lies in this immeasurable froth- ocean we name LITERATURE? |
20585 | Have any deepest scientific individuals yet dived- down to the foundations of the Universe, and gauged everything there? |
20585 | Have we not seen him disappointed, bemocked of Destiny, through long years? |
20585 | He asked of the Parliament, What it was they would decide upon? |
20585 | He can say to himself:''Tools? |
20585 | He courts no notice: what could notice here do for him? |
20585 | He exclaims,''Or hast thou forgotten Paris and Voltaire? |
20585 | He has the power of holding his peace over many things which do not vitally concern him,--"They? |
20585 | He is the fatal man; unutterably fatal, put in the high places of men.--"Why complain of this?" |
20585 | He was a great_ ébauche_, a rude- draught never completed; as indeed what great man is other? |
20585 | He was a weak child, they told him; could he lift that Cat he saw there? |
20585 | Hear 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? |
20585 | Here, looking round, as was our hest, for''organic filaments,''we ask, may not this, touching''Hero- worship,''be of the number? |
20585 | Hero- worship,--Odin, Burns? |
20585 | Hero- worship? |
20585 | His love of Music, indeed, is not this, as it were, the summary of all these affections in him? |
20585 | His scorn, his grief are as transcendent as his love;--as indeed, what are they but the_ inverse_ or_ converse_ of his love? |
20585 | Homer yet_ is_, veritably present face to face with every open soul of us; and Greece, where is_ it_? |
20585 | Hot weather? |
20585 | How came he not to study his words a little, before flinging them out to the public? |
20585 | How came it that the Wanderer advanced thither with such forecasting heart(_ ahndungsvoll_), by the side of his gay host? |
20585 | How came it to evaporate, and not lie motionless? |
20585 | How can a man act heroically? |
20585 | How could a man travel forward from rustic deer- poaching to such tragedy- writing, and not fall- in with sorrows by the way? |
20585 | How could he? |
20585 | How could it else? |
20585 | How could the rude Earth make these, if her Essence, rugged as she looks and is, were not inwardly Beauty? |
20585 | How from such inorganic masses, henceforth madder than ever, as lie in these Bags, can even fragments of a living delineation be organised? |
20585 | How happens it that no intelligence about the matter has come out directly to this country? |
20585 | How is this; or what make ye of your_ Nothing can act but where it is_? |
20585 | How much does one of us foresee of his own life? |
20585 | How shall he stand otherwise? |
20585 | How shall_ he_ give kindling, in whose own inward man there is no live coal, but all is burnt- out to a dead grammatical cinder? |
20585 | How then could I believe in my Strength, when there was as yet no mirror to see it in? |
20585 | How then? |
20585 | How thou fermentest and elaboratest, in thy great fermenting- vat and laboratory of an Atmosphere, of a World, O Nature!--Or what is Nature? |
20585 | How to regulate that struggle? |
20585 | How was it, what was it? |
20585 | How was this? |
20585 | How will you govern these Nations, which Providence in a wondrous way has given- up to your disposal? |
20585 | How? |
20585 | However, that is not our chief grievance; the Professor continues:''Why multiply instances? |
20585 | Hypocrite, mummer, the life of him a mere theatricality; empty barren quack, hungry for the shouts of mobs? |
20585 | I do not assert Mahomet''s continual sincerity: who is continually sincere? |
20585 | I said that Imagination wove this Flesh- Garment; and does not she? |
20585 | I? |
20585 | If Hero mean_ sincere man_, why may not every one of us be a Hero? |
20585 | If he loved his Disenchantress? |
20585 | If he owed any man? |
20585 | If it prove otherwise, why should he murmur? |
20585 | If our era is the Era of Unbelief, why murmur under it; is there not a better coming, nay come? |
20585 | If so, what are those_ Prize- Questions_; what are the terms of Competition, and when and where? |
20585 | In Death too, in the Death of the Just, as the last perfection of a Work of Art, may we not discern symbolic meaning? |
20585 | In Pagan countries, can not one write Fetishes? |
20585 | In all that respects openness of Sense, affectionate Temper, ingenuous Curiosity, and the fostering of these, what more could I have wished? |
20585 | In all this what''hypocrisy,''''ambition,''''ca nt,''or other falsity? |
20585 | In 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? |
20585 | In like manner, ask me not, Where are the LAWS; where is the GOVERNMENT? |
20585 | In such circumstances what was needed? |
20585 | In the commonest meeting of men, a person making, what we call,''set speeches,''is not he an offence? |
20585 | In the one sense and in the other, are we not right glad to possess it? |
20585 | In the same direction have not we their descendants since carried it far? |
20585 | In 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"? |
20585 | In which words, indicating a total estrangement on the part of Teufelsdröckh, may there not also lurk traces of a bitterness as from wounded vanity? |
20585 | Increased Security and pleasurable Heat soon followed: but what of these? |
20585 | Independence, in all kinds, is rebellion; if unjust rebellion, why parade it, and everywhere prescribe it?'' |
20585 | Influence? |
20585 | Is he not in most countries a tax- paying animal? |
20585 | Is it by short- clothes of yellow serge, and swineherd horns, that an infant of genius is educated? |
