31557	What is the nature of the obligation assumed at such a festival?
31557	What step could be taken?
31557	What was the business?
31557	What was their right to interfere?
31557	What were the arguments with which they overcame the resistance of the Government?
31557	When had it begun again?
31557	When had it stopped?
31557	Who can blame them for their timidity?
31557	Who is Dr. Knappe, thus to make peace and war, deal in life and death, and close with a buffet the mouth of English Consuls?
31557	Who is responsible now for the care and good treatment of these political prisoners?
31557	Who is responsible?
31557	Who is the unknown power that sent Mataafa in a German ship to the Marshalls, instead of in an English ship to Fiji?
31557	Who told them so?
31557	Who was responsible for this?
31557	Who was to be punished?--the whaler guilty of the act, the missionary whose denunciation had provoked the scandal?
31557	Why ca n''t he talk?"
31557	Why go to such lengths for four months longer of fallacious solvency?
31557	Why should I wonder?
31557	Why should he?
31557	Why this change?
31557	You ask if we have seen Arick?
31557	You remember Tauilo, and what a fine, tall, strong, Madame Lafarge sort of person she is?
31557	You would not like to be very sick in some savage place in the islands, and have only the savages to doctor you?
31557	and had not every country its own customs?
31557	and that keeps separated Faamoina and his wife?
31557	and what kind of torrent was that which had swept us eastward in the interval?
31557	and what the Kanitus?"
31557	and what was their sentiment towards the ruler?
31557	he asked, and then, with a sneer,"Are you afraid of your life?"
31557	pas de popoi?_"she asked.
31557	that has decreed since that he shall receive not even inconsiderable gifts and open letters?
31557	you like whaleboat?''
13720	Ah, ah-- you are no ghost;--but are you my friend?
13720	All ready, Jarl?
13720	An important discrimination,said Media;"which mean you, Mohi?"
13720	And all afterward quoted as additional authority for the truth of the legend?
13720	And did that devil Tribonnora swamp your canoe?
13720	And in the devil''s name, what sort of a devil is yours?
13720	And what then?
13720	And who is Tribonnora,said Babbalanja,"that he thus bravely diverts himself, running down innocent paddlers?"
13720	Any more?
13720	Are they not delirious with suffering?
13720	Are we not all now friends and companions?
13720	Ay, his lungs laugh loud; but is laughing, rejoicing?
13720	But are we not to be dignified?
13720	But now that you speak of unappreciated poets, Yoomy,said Babbalanja,"Shall I give you a piece of my mind?"
13720	But why do they torment you?
13720	But why have them at all?
13720	But, Babbalanja, do you, who run a tilt at all things, suffer this silly conceit to be uttered with impunity in your presence? 13720 Did not poor Bonja, the unappreciated poet, console himself for the neglect of his contemporaries, by inspiriting thoughts of the future?"
13720	Do ye too leave me? 13720 Ha, ha, hear''st that, oh Taji?"
13720	How felt you, cousin?
13720	How should I know? 13720 How so, old man?"
13720	Is the murderer wedded and merry? 13720 My good woman,"said he,"what under the firmament is the matter?"
13720	Opaque as this paddle,said Mohi,"But, come now, thou oracle, if all things are deceptive, tell us what is truth?"
13720	Pause you to invent as you go on?
13720	Shall I, then, be your Flora''s flute, and Hautia''s dragoman? 13720 The old interrogatory; did they not ask it when the world began?
13720	Their maledictions?
13720	Was ever queen more enigmatical?
13720	What dumb show is this?
13720	What have you to do with cogitations not in verse, minstrel? 13720 What maiden, minstrel?"
13720	What say you, Zuma, about the secret cavern, and the treasures therein? 13720 What say you?"
13720	Which are the deadest?
13720	Who are you?
13720	Who are you?
13720	Who are_ you_ then; and what craft is this?
13720	Who else is on board?
13720	Yoomy,said old Mohi with a yawn,"you composed that song, then, did you?"
13720	Your prayer?
13720	(_ Bow- Paddler._) Who lifts this chant?
13720	(_ Bow- Paddler._) Who lifts this chant?
13720	(_ Bow- Paddler._) Who lifts this chant?
13720	A fierce device: Whom rends he?
13720	A sea- toss?
13720	Advancing toward the Chamois, one of the kings, a calm old man, now addressed me as follows:--"Is this indeed Taji?
13720	After Saratoga, what Arnold?
13720	All the past a dim blank?
13720	Am I a murderer, stars?
13720	Am I brown like the dusky Aleema?
13720	Am I not rescuing the maiden?
13720	Am I not white like yourself?
13720	And are these Dyaks and Battas one whit better than tiger- sharks?
13720	And daft Cambyses?
13720	And hero that he was, who knows that he felt not like a soldier on a furlough?
13720	And if, of twelve men, three be fools, and three wise, three knaves, and three upright, how obtain real unanimity from such?
13720	And now, what follows, said these Islanders:"Why sow corruption in the soil which yields us life?
13720	And the smoke of Waterloo blown by, what was Anglesea but the like?
13720	And truly, who may call to mind when he was not?
13720	And was not the sun a fellow- voyager?
13720	And what had happened to Aleema?
13720	And what might it not lead to in the end?
13720	And what more glorious grave?
13720	And what now issues forth, like a habitation astir?
13720	And who, when there, stretches not out his legs, and says unto himself,"Who is greater than I?"
13720	And with orchards and vineyards forever in sight, who but the Hetman of the Cossacs would desire more?
13720	And"Where''s now our old ship?"
13720	Are not such, well- ordered dispensations of Providence?
13720	Are not these bones thine?
13720	Are twelve honest men more honest than one?
13720	Art thou more truly royal, that they were kings?
13720	Art thou?
13720	Behold, though since quitting Oroolia the sun has dyed my cheek, am I not even as you?
13720	Besides, what cared I now for the green groves and bright shore?
13720	Boat ahoy!--Have you got that man?"
13720	Borabolla was jolly and loud: Jarl demure and silent; Borabolla a king: Jarl only a Viking;--how came they together?
13720	But alas, poor Annatoo, why say more?
13720	But answer: I assume that King Media is but a mortal like you; now, how may I best perpetuate my name?"
13720	But are we yet through with her?
13720	But did the demi- divine Media thus brook the perpetual presence of a subaltern divinity?
13720	But die we then living?
13720	But had I not declared to Yillah, that our destination was the fairy isle she spoke of, even Oroolia?
13720	But had this been purposed with regard to the Parki, where the rest of the mutineers?
13720	But hereupon, what saw we, but his cool majesty of Odo tranquilly proceeding to lunch in the temple?
13720	But how account for the Skyeman''s gravity?
13720	But how came the Ohonoose by their name?
13720	But how lower the tackles, even in the darkest night, without a creaking more fearful than the death rattle?
13720	But how now?
13720	But if thus gayly the damsel sported with Samoa; how different his emotions toward her?
13720	But no, no: What: dilute the brine with the double distilled soul of the precious grape?
13720	But of what sort?
13720	But peace, peace, thou liar in me, telling me I am immortal-- shall I not be as these bones?
13720	But rubbed he not his eyes, and stared he not most vacantly?
13720	But shall the sequel be told?
13720	But think you this was the quiet end of their conjugal quarrels?
13720	But was not Ottimo the most eccentric of mortals?
13720	But what has befallen this poor little Boneeta astern, that he swims so toilingly on, with gills showing purple?
13720	But what is this, in the head of the canoe, just under the shark''s mouth?
13720	But what is yonder swaying of the foliage?
13720	But what knows a philosopher about women?
13720	But what of Jarl and Samoa?
13720	But what of my Viking?
13720	But what of our store of provisions?
13720	But what of that?
13720	But what of that?
13720	But what of the banquet of fish?
13720	But what said Samoa to all this?
13720	But what says Taji?"
13720	But what shall be said of Annatoo?
13720	But what sways in his hand?
13720	But what was now to be done?
13720	But whence, and whither wend ye, mariners?
13720	But wherefore comest thou, Taji?
13720	But which of the writhing sections of a ten times severed worm, is the worm proper?
13720	But whither now?
13720	But who credited their tale?
13720	But who is this in the corner, gaping at us like a butler in a quandary?
13720	But who may sing for aye?
13720	But why absented himself, Donjalolo?
13720	But why need gain the hidden spring, when its lavish stream flows by?
13720	But why these watery obsequies?
13720	But will a longing bring the thing desired?
13720	But,"Where now is your Yillah?"
13720	CHAPTER XIX Who Goes There?
13720	Can you?
13720	Could he talk sentiment or philosophy?
13720	Did I commune with a spirit?
13720	Did deities dine?
13720	Did men in Odo live for aye?
13720	Did they mean to pursue me?
13720	Did they not show us the identical spot where the idol fell?
13720	Did we not dive into the grotto on the sea- shore, and come up together in the cool cavern in the hill?
13720	Directly, he touched my arm,--"Look: what stirs in the main- top?"
13720	Do they deem themselves pretty as we?
13720	Do you believe that you lived three thousand years ago?
13720	Donjalolo, methinks I see thee fallen upon by assassins:--which of thy fathers riseth to the rescue?
13720	Dost hear the great monster breathe?
13720	Dotest thou on these thy sires?
13720	Doth dread avert its object?
13720	Doth not all nature rejoice in her green groves and her flowers?
13720	For of what use?
13720	For oh, Yillah; were you not the earthly semblance of that sweet vision, that haunted my earliest thoughts?
13720	For was he not an entire limb out of pocket?
13720	For was not that rock inaccessible as the eyrie of young eagles?
13720	For what matters it, though hundreds of miles from land, if a good whale- boat be under foot, the Trades behind, and mild, warm seas before?
13720	For whom, like me, ere this could she have beheld?
13720	Had he cavalierly left them to survive the banquet by themselves?
13720	Have you not oftentimes come to me, and my ever dewy ballads for information, in which you and your musty old chronicles were deficient?"
13720	He said not,''Come you to fight, you fogs and vapors?
13720	Here, bring them close: now: what is this?"
13720	Here, in our adventurous Chamois, was a damsel more lovely than the flushes of morning; and for companions, whom had she but me and my comrades?
13720	How gently dispel them?
13720	How is it?
13720	How long since, say you?"
13720	How now?
13720	How subdue these dangerous imaginings?
13720	How''s this?
13720	I see thee dying:--which of them telleth thee what cheer beyond the grave?
13720	If unknowingly we should pass the spot where, according to our reckoning, our islands lay, upon what shoreless sea would we launch?
13720	In a theocracy, what is to fear?
13720	In relating her story, the maiden frequently interrupted it with questions concerning myself:--Whence I came: being white, from Oroolia?
13720	In that long calm, whither might not the currents have swept us?
13720	Is it a fable, or a verity about Marjora and the murdered Teei?
13720	Is liberty a thing so glorious?
13720	Is there not a fitness in things?
13720	Is there not a legend in Maramma, that his family were long troubled with influenzas and catarrhs?"
13720	Its fate?
13720	Know you not my voice?
13720	Knowing what ye do, were ye me, would ye be kings?
13720	Media cried,"For shame, oh Taji; thou, a god?"
13720	My Lord Shark and his Pages 19. Who goes there?
13720	Nay, are they so good?
13720	Now, which was Samoa?
13720	Of all things desirable and delightful, the full- plumed sheaf, and my own right arm the band?
13720	Oh Yillah, little Yillah, has it all come to this?
13720	On the contrary, would it not have been more natural, in his dreary situation, to have hailed our approach with the utmost delight?
13720	One down already?
13720	Or comest thou to fish in the sea?
13720	Or do the minster- lamps that burn before the tomb of Charlemagne, show more of pomp, than all the stars, that blaze above the shipwrecked mariner?
13720	Or more a man, that they were men?
13720	Or the living trunk below?
13720	Or was hers a better fate?
13720	Or, King Saul, that I so quake at the sight?
13720	Rude language for feminine ears; but how to be avoided?
13720	Said Babbalanja,"The thrice waved oleanders, Yoomy; what meant they?"
13720	Said Donjalolo,"Varnopi, hast thou a piece of this coral, also?"
13720	Said Mohi and Yoomy in a breath,"Who sought your opinion, philosopher?
13720	Said Yoomy,"Then, Babbalanja, you account that a fit illustration of the miraculous change to be wrought in man after death?"
13720	Saw you ever the hillocks of old Spanish anchors, and anchor- stocks of ancient galleons, at the bottom of Callao Bay?
13720	Say ye true, comrades, that Willamilla is less lovely than the valleys without?
13720	Self- sacrilegious demigod that I was, was I going to gluttonize on the very offerings, laid before me in my own sacred fane?
13720	Shall we tell how we all grew glad and frank; and how the din of the dinner was heard far into night?
13720	Silent, are ye?
13720	So what could be plainer than this: that if westward we patiently held on our way, we must eventually achieve our destination?
13720	Still forgetful?
13720	Still more; did he render it homage?
13720	Sunk she silently, helplessly, into the calm depths of that summer sea, assassinated by the ruthless blade of the swordfish?
13720	Sweet Yillah, no more of Oroolia; see you not this flowery land?
13720	Tell me, comrades,--for ye have seen it,--is Mardi sweeter to behold, than it is royal to reign over Juam?
13720	Tell me, oh king, what are thy thoughts?
13720	Tell me, what ye see abroad?
13720	Tell me; was she not worse than the Load- Stone Rock, sailing by which a stout ship fell to pieces?
13720	That you were at the taking of Tyre, were overwhelmed in Gomorrah?
13720	The dead arm swinging high as Haman?
13720	The vessel to which it belonged far astern, and shrouded by the haze?
13720	They were a very diminutive people, only a few inches high--""Stop, minstrel,"cried Mohi;"how many pennyweights did they weigh?"
13720	To the broiling coast of Papua?
13720	True, the Battas believe in a hereafter; but of what sort?
13720	Upon occasion, who likes not a lively loon, one of your giggling, gamesome oafs, whose mouth is a grin?
13720	Useless to inquire,"Where hast thou been, sweet Annatoo?"
13720	Was Mausolus more sublimely urned?
13720	Was Media too a god?
13720	Was Ponce de Leon''s fountain there?
13720	Was Yillah immured in this strange retreat?
13720	Was he not a goodly round sight to behold?
13720	Was it a boat after a whale?
13720	Was it not storied as the good trenchant blade of brave Bayard, that other chevalier?
13720	Was it possible, that one about to be immolated could proceed thus tranquilly to her fate?
13720	Was not Alexander a boon companion?
13720	Was not Yillah my own?
13720	Was not Yillah my shore and my grove?
13720	Was the arm severed from the body, or the body from the arm?
13720	Was this it?
13720	Was this one?
13720	Wast thou not forever at it, too, with no likelihood of ever winding up thy moody affairs, and striking a balance sheet?
13720	Were a Batta your intimate friend, you would often mistake an orang- outang for him; and have orang- outangs immortal souls?
13720	Were they born at one birth?
13720	What Camden or Stowe hereafter will dive for it?
13720	What bring''st thou hither then, Taji, before thy time?
13720	What fish can it be?
13720	What has he there, towing behind?
13720	What ho, hot heart of mine: to beat thus lustily awhile, to feel in the red rushing blood, and then be ashes,--can this be so?
13720	What rippling is that?
13720	What saw the Islanders, that they so gazed and adored in silence: some retreating, some creeping nearer, and the women all in a flutter?
13720	What say you to slyly loosing every thing by day; and when night comes, cast off the band and swing in the cranes?
13720	What then shall be said of a leathern goblet for water?
13720	What yeoman shall swear that he is not descended from Alfred?
13720	What, if at times their speech is insipid as water after wine?
13720	What, if to ungenial and irascible souls, their very"mug"is an exasperation to behold, their clack an inducement to suicide?
13720	What?
13720	When happy, do we pause and say--"Lo, thy felicity, my soul?"
13720	Whence came it?
13720	Whence then, this annoying appellation?
13720	Whence they come, whither go, who knows?
13720	Where are your vouchers?
13720	Where is it?
13720	Whither I was going: to Amma?
13720	Who dwells in Nora- Bamma?
13720	Who sighs to be wise, when wine in him flares?
13720	Who smacks his lips over gall?
13720	Who sounds this vaunt?
13720	Who sounds this vaunt?
13720	Who sounds this vaunt?
13720	Who with wine in him fears?
13720	Why does man believe in it?
13720	Why so silent?"
13720	Why?
13720	Would they devour an innocent voyager?
13720	Ye flying clouds, what look ye down upon?
13720	Yet if our dead fathers somewhere and somehow live, why not our unborn sons?
13720	Yet why do I pause?
13720	_ This_, great Marjora''s arm?
13720	_ Ye_, kings?
13720	_ ye_, men?
13720	a sharpening and edge- giving to the steel in your souls?
13720	am I forever forgotten?
13720	and hence, what peace of mind, having no one else to cling to?
13720	and what good would it do me if I did?"
13720	and what shall we drink?
13720	and wisdom in the hearts of the old priests of Maramma; that it is pleasant to tread the green earth where you will; and breathe the free ocean air?
13720	and woo and we d not the fowls of the air, trilling their bliss in their bowers?
13720	are twelve wise men more wise than one?
13720	art thou then so fair to see?
13720	asked Mohi, who, notwithstanding the fingers in his ears, somehow contrived to listen;"What then?"
13720	besides keeping up, here and there, in very many quarters indeed, sundry people''s good opinion of themselves?
13720	by my arm rescued from ill?
13720	come you to dwell?
13720	cried Media,"who have we here?"
13720	cried Media--"Love,--death,--joy,--fly to me?
13720	dost accept thy bride?"
13720	enlightened I had been but where was Yillah?
13720	fathoms down in the sea; where ever saw you a phantom like that?
13720	filling up vacuums, in intervals of social stagnation relieving the tedium of existing?
13720	he, who according to a tradition, was to return to us after five thousand moons?
13720	how weigh the isle''s coral anchor, leagues down in the fathomless sea?
13720	in all this universal stir, am_ I_ to prove one stable thing?
13720	let us be merry again,"he cried,"what shall we eat?
13720	my meadow, my mead, my soft shady vine, and my arbor?
13720	no reply?
13720	or art thou not?
13720	or come you to fish in the sea?''
13720	or twelve knaves less knavish than one?
13720	or will twelve fools, put together, make one sage?
13720	said Babbalanja, peeping in,"the live kings, or the dead ones?"
13720	said Media,"where from, and where bound?"
13720	say, where is Yillah?"
13720	shall I be a king, only to be a slave?
13720	shook we not the palm- trees together, and chased we not the rolling nuts down the glen?
13720	that infernal gout is gone; come, what will your worships have?"
13720	that there is bright light in the eyes of the maidens of Mina?
13720	was he not my only link to things past?
13720	wast thou not forever intent upon minding that which so many neglect-- thine own especial business?
13720	were we not both wending westward?
13720	what alarms your long ranks, and tosses them all into a hubbub of scales and of foam?
13720	what dunce, that he is not sprung of old Homer?
13720	where sails thy lone ghost now?
13720	where''s the endless Niger''s source?
13720	who shall expound thee?
13720	who thinks of his cares?
13876	Ah, mademoiselle,the Frenchman said,"who could resist such an appeal?
13876	Am I not Ula? 13876 And Tu- Kila- Kila comes to fetch fresh fire?"
13876	And he speaks the bird language? 13876 And he told you everything?"
13876	And how did you come here?
13876	And how did you come here?
13876	And mademoiselle as well?
13876	And the Death of Tu- Kila- Kila?
13876	And they will kill us both?
13876	And what, then, becomes of the king and queen who are sacrificed?
13876	And when a Korong is taken to Tu- Kila- Kila''s temple,he asked, continuing the subject of most immediate interest,"what happens next to him?"
13876	And where is he gone now?
13876	And you, monsieur?
13876	Are all the others away?
13876	Are the savages out there rising in a body? 13876 Are they always going to keep us in such plenty?"
13876	At the end of three days we will be safe, though?
13876	But he did n''t succeed?
13876	But how if you never come back, Felix?
13876	But only if we go outside the taboo- line?
13876	But where does the parrot come in?
13876	But who will then be Tu- Kila- Kila?
13876	But why did they make us gods then?
13876	But you ca n''t tell me what language he speaks?
13876	Can she not speak?
13876	Can the parrot speak?
13876	Did I not declare the other Queen of the Clouds in Heaven? 13876 Did I not make one of them King of the Rain?"
13876	Did he hear it speak?
13876	Did it tell him the story of Tu- Kila- Kila''s secret?
13876	Did the naughty man go and frighten her then? 13876 Do I look like a card- sharper, monsieur?"
13876	Do n''t you realize how the thing stands? 13876 Do n''t you see I''m spelling it out, letter by letter?
13876	Do n''t you see what it is?
13876	Do you understand their language?
13876	Do you want all the victims for yourself and her, then?
13876	Does Tu- Kila- Kila show mercy?
13876	Does he pardon his suppliants? 13876 Does he speak your language-- the language of birds?"
13876	Has he seen the Soul of all dead parrots?
13876	Has she no voice but this, the chatter of birds? 13876 Have you ever known Korongs killed?"
13876	His heart is not quite so bad as we thought,they murmured among themselves;"but if he did n''t want them, what did he mean?
13876	How can he be good if he does such awful things?
13876	How do you like your outlook now? 13876 How have you slipped away, as soon as the sun is risen, from the sacred hut of Tu- Kila- Kila?"
13876	How on earth did he come here?
13876	How should he not come?
13876	How the devil should I tell you yet, sir?
13876	I am a god myself, not a fool, do n''t you see? 13876 I see them?
13876	Is Tu- Kila- Kila coming?
13876	Is he as powerful as Tu- Kila- Kila?
13876	Is he going to kill us?
13876	Is it the custom of Boupari that Tu- Kila- Kila should we d the Queen of the Clouds seven days before the date appointed for her sacrifice?
13876	Is it then something so very terrible?
13876	Is the other hut empty? 13876 Is this so?"
13876	Know you not the mysteries? 13876 Mali,"she cried to her faithful attendant, as soon as she found Felix was missing from his tent,"what''s become of Mr. Thurstan?
13876	Missy want to wash him face and hands this morning? 13876 Oh, Mr. Thurstan,"she cried, clinging to his arm in her terror,"what does it all mean?
13876	Oh, are they going to land here?
13876	Oh, what are they going to do to us? 13876 Oh, what''s that?"
13876	Say? 13876 So funny, is n''t it?
13876	Succeed, my dear sir? 13876 Tell me where does that live?
13876	The parrot that knows Tu- Kila- Kila''s secret? 13876 Then for what have you come?"
13876	Then where is now the spirit of Tu- Kila- Kila, the very high god, if I am not he?
13876	Then why do you make them Korong?
13876	Then you were a political prisoner only?
13876	Then, Felix--- the night before it comes, you will promise me, will you?
13876	These foreign gods, are they not strangers from the sun? 13876 Till our term comes?"
13876	Together?
13876	Well, you found him?
13876	What are they doing outside?
13876	What condition is that?
13876	What did you do that for?
13876	What do they say?
13876	What do they say?
13876	What do they say?
13876	What do you mean by Korong?
13876	What do you mean by that, my Shadow?
13876	What does he say?
13876	What does he say?
13876	What does it all mean?
13876	What does it mean that they say?
13876	What does she say?
13876	What does the message say?
13876	What happens, then, to those who are Korong?
13876	What has happened today to the Increaser of Bread- Fruit? 13876 What has made you think of this devilry?"
13876	What have they done to us?
13876	What he recites is long?
13876	What he wants is a child?
13876	What if the white- faced stranger should come to- night?
13876	What is it, Mali?
13876	What is the legend?
13876	What is your will that we should do with them?
13876	What now is that hope? 13876 What''s the matter?"
13876	What? 13876 When will my time come?"
13876	When?
13876	While my time last?
13876	Who are these?
13876	Who are you?
13876	Who can say?
13876	Who is he?
13876	Why did n''t you get it yourself?
13876	Why do they bring us presents?
13876	Why do you let your people offer human sacrifices?
13876	Why do you not cook them and eat them at once, as soon as they arrive? 13876 Why on earth are they angry with us?"
13876	Why so?
13876	Why so?
13876	Why so?
13876	Why treat us with such honors meanwhile, if they mean in the end to kill us?
13876	Why, what are all these?
13876	Why, what do you want here so early, Ula?
13876	Why, what does Korong mean?
13876	Why, who lives here?
13876	Will they bring them all in?
13876	Will you know the day beforehand?
13876	You do n''t mean to say that islands like these, standing right in the very track of European steamers, are still heathen and cannibal?
13876	You do n''t mean to say,Muriel cried,"they bring me these things because they think me a goddess?"
13876	You do n''t think,she said, with a tremulous tongue,"they mean to kill us?"
13876	You have heard him say much more than this at times? 13876 You have lived here long?"
13876	You know the people well, and all their superstitions?
13876	You swear by Tu- Kila- Kila himself?
13876	You think not?
13876	Your name, surname, age, occupation?
13876	_ Comment_?
13876	A low black line, lying close to the water?
13876	Aliens, or countrymen?"
13876	Alive or dead?
13876	Am I not a great deity?
13876	Am I not from old times?
13876	Am I not the chief and most favored among your women?
13876	Am I not the great god, the Saviour of Boupari?"
13876	Am I not very ancient?
13876	Am not I, Ula, one of your wives, your meat?
13876	And have I not caused them to bring down showers this night upon our crops?
13876	And have they not come?
13876	And if I am Tu- Kila- Kila, how dare you, not being yourself Korong, and not having broken off the sacred bough, as I did, venture to attack me?
13876	And if ever she hove in sight, might they not hope, after all, to signal to her with their rudely constructed heliograph, and stop her?
13876	And in what quality do you live here?
13876	And is it not a small thing to me, therefore, whether the sea tosses up my victims from my home in the sun, or whether it does not?
13876	And now-- as she slept-- so calm and pure and maidenly-- what was his duty that minute, just there to her?
13876	And what will come now to our trees and plantations?"
13876	And what will then become of the island of Boupari?
13876	Are not his limbs tired?
13876	Are these savages coming over?
13876	Are they coming to kill us?"
13876	Are they going to hurt us?
13876	Are they not a dainty well fit for the banquet of Tu- Kila- Kila?"
13876	Are they not here to- day?
13876	Are you and he of one speech or two?
13876	Are you not ashamed of such gross impiety?"
13876	Are you not great?
13876	As her clothes grew warmer, the poor girl opened her eyes at last, and, gazing around her, exclaimed, in blank terror,"Oh, Mr. Thurstan, where are we?
13876	Besides, what would his people think of it if they found it out?
13876	But what do you make that out to be-- that long black haze on the horizon to southward?"
13876	But what hope, what chance of rescue by night, in such a wild waste of waves as that?
13876	But what would you have?
13876	But what would you have?
13876	But which sort of god, pray?
13876	But why did you wish to have our huts also?
13876	Can I not do as I will?
13876	Can I not make with a nod as many as I will of them?"
13876	Could he lunge out and clutch it?
13876	Could it be that his own time was, indeed, drawing nigh?
13876	Could n''t_ that_ be the meaning of the ceremony performed on Muriel and himself in"Heaven"that morning?
13876	Could the parrot be speaking to them in the words of seventeenth- century English?
13876	Did I not brew it for you?
13876	Did Polly want a lump of sugar?"
13876	Did he try to get over you?
13876	Did that mysterious bird speak the tongue of these new fire- bearing Korongs, whose doom was fixed for the approaching solstice?
13876	Did they take the two strangers, then, for supernatural beings?
13876	Did you not knock them all off the trees for yourselves when you were coming down in such sheets from the sky last evening?"
13876	Do I find myself once more in the presence of a civilized person?
13876	Do I hear once more that beautiful language spoken?
13876	Do I not eat perpetually the flesh of new victims?
13876	Do I not spring ever fresh from my own ashes?
13876	Do n''t you guess the truth?
13876	Do you know at all, monsieur?
13876	Do you understand me?"
13876	Does he begin it often?"
13876	Does he forgive trespasses?
13876	Does he not need divine silence and slumber?"
13876	Does he speak like the Queen of the Clouds and myself when we talk together?"
13876	Does she not know the human language?"
13876	Felix went out to the door and heliographed with his bright metal plate, turned on the Frenchman''s hill,"What is it?"
13876	Fire and Water, you guardians of this holy island, is it not so?
13876	For if I am not Tu- Kila- Kila, how can any man become Tu- Kila- Kila by killing me?
13876	Had he made the storm, then, they asked, and eaten the storm- apple, for no use to himself, but out of pure perverseness?
13876	Had she given him only just enough kava to strengthen and inspire him?
13876	Had the white- faced stranger, the King of the Rain, really learned the secrets of the Great Taboo from the Soul of all dead parrots?
13876	Had they enrolled them as gods?
13876	Has not the dry earth drunk?
13876	Has some enemy landed?"
13876	Has there then been more than one Tu- Kila- Kila?"
13876	Have I not passed through many bodies?
13876	Have they come to murder us?"
13876	Have they not brought the precious gift of fresh fire with them?"
13876	Have war- canoes arrived?
13876	He had almost a mind-- it was only Ula?
13876	His worshippers, indeed, mere men that they were, might be terrified at the sight; but why should he, a god, take any special notice of it?
13876	How could he do otherwise?
13876	How could she ever allow him to leave her now?
13876	How could she venture to remain alone with Mali in her hut in this last extremity?
13876	How could we two interfere?
13876	I know it is in the tree; but where and in what part of it?"
13876	I wonder how long parrots ever live?
13876	If Korongs were gods, why should the people want to kill them?
13876	If he did n''t even want the windfalls and the objects vowed to him, why had he beaten down their crops and broken their houses?
13876	If he had, would not your Eyes that watch ever for all that happens on heaven or earth, have straightway reported it to you?
13876	If she took that course once, why not a second time?
13876	If the Taboo is not indeed broken, then how dare we break it?
13876	If they meant to kill them, why pay them meanwhile such respect and affection?
13876	If you try to depose me, what great gods have you now got left?
13876	If your heart were not bad, would you treat us like this?
13876	Is he not a god, and must not his wrath be appeased?
13876	Is he not a god?
13876	Is he not our great god, the king of us all, and the guardian of the customs of the island of Boupari?"
13876	Is it not I who cause women and beasts to bring forth their young?
13876	Is it not I who give the turtles their increase?
13876	Is it not so, eh, my friend Methuselah?"
13876	Is not their blood red?
13876	Is not their flesh sweet?
13876	Korong-- or Tula?"
13876	LAND; BUT WHAT LAND?
13876	Meanwhile, why provoke a brother god too far?
13876	Methuselah- Polly took it gingerly off the end, like a well- behaved parrot?
13876	Monsieur is no ornithologist?
13876	On a desert island?"
13876	Ought he not rather to have allowed the more merciful sea to take her life easily, without the chance or possibility of such additional horrors?
13876	Shall we offer him ourselves, our wives, our children?"
13876	That he, who had remorselessly killed and eaten so many hundreds of human victims, was himself to fall a prey to some more successful competitor?
13876	That is my condition, and it matters but little to me, for I know not when the end may come; and we can but die once; how or where, what matters?
13876	That last new- comer, now-- the Queen of the Clouds-- why not eat her?
13876	That one over there-- the old, the very sacred one?"
13876	The end of your rule is drawing very near, is n''t it?
13876	The new white man has seen you?"
13876	The words he has just uttered are not those of the sermon or poem you mentioned?"
13876	Then why should the great god, the Measurer of Heaven and Earth, the King of Men, fear a white- faced stranger?
13876	This afternoon, I ask myself, can I venture to go out and pay my respects, thus attired, in these rags, to a European lady?
13876	Ula, I wonder if he knows my secret?"
13876	VICTORY-- AND AFTER?
13876	Was he not a god, and should he be thus bearded in his own island by a mere Soul of dead birds, a poor, wretched parrot?
13876	Was he on guard at his post by the tree already?"
13876	Was he suffering?"
13876	Was it a ruse to make him cross the line, alone, or did they really mean it?
13876	Was it right of him to have let her come ashore at all?
13876	Was n''t there some Greek or Roman superstition about shaking your head when water was poured upon it?
13876	Was she afraid of his hand?
13876	Was the god himself recalcitrant?
13876	Was this true, or a trap to lure him to destruction?
13876	Were all things right?
13876	Were they merely intended as human sacrifices?
13876	Were they to be kept meanwhile and, as it were, fed up for the slaughter?
13876	What can it mean?
13876	What can we give him that will be an acceptable gift?
13876	What chance of escape for Felix and Muriel, with the cannibal man- gods toils laid round on every side to insure their destruction?
13876	What could it all mean?
13876	What could that superstition be, and what light might it cast on that mysterious ceremony?
13876	What could this strange hitch in the divine proceedings mean?
13876	What did he mean by his bite?"
13876	What do you mean by that?
13876	What does all this mean?
13876	What has your divinity done with him?"
13876	What hope of success with those watchful spies, keen as beagles and cruel as bloodhounds, following ever on their track?
13876	What is it to me if fresh victims come, or if they come not?
13876	What might not happen if we were to break taboo without due cause and kill them?"
13876	What might not that portend?
13876	What need for me, then, to tell you, whose eye is the sun, that my brother, the King of the Rain, has been here and gone again?
13876	What the dickens can have come to the island of Boupari?
13876	What was it in his school reading that that ceremony with the water indefinitely reminded him of?
13876	What will become of us?
13876	What?"
13876	Where can he be gone, I wonder, this morning?"
13876	Where have we got to?
13876	Where is Tu- Kila- Kila''s great spirit laid by in safety?
13876	Where is he now?
13876	Where is the woman who dared to approach too near the temple- home of the divine Tu- Kila- Kila?
13876	Who can hide anything on earth from his face?
13876	Who can tell the ways of the world, how they come about?
13876	Who could say that the wind would not report his words to Tu- Kila- Kila?
13876	Who could tell what nameless indignities, what incredible tortures they might wantonly inflict upon her innocent soul?
13876	Who follows?
13876	Who has crossed my master''s will?
13876	Who has dared to anger him?"
13876	Who holds it in charge?
13876	Who knows what clue may supply us at last with the missing link, which will enable us to break through this intolerable servitude?"
13876	Why are_ you_ afraid of us?"
13876	Why did he beat down our huts and our plantations?"
13876	Why did you beat down our young plantations and break our canoes against the beach of the island?
13876	Why do you not at once eat them up and be done with them?
13876	Why do you use us so?"
13876	Why not break the silence enjoined upon gods toward women, and explain this matter to her?
13876	Why should he not, indeed?
13876	Why should n''t I cross equally the King of the Birds'', then?"
13876	Why should these English seem so profoundly moved by them?
13876	Why, Ula, who told you that?
13876	Why, see; there''s a great light on the island now; a big bonfire or something; do n''t you make it out?
13876	Why, what did you do there?"
13876	Will it not sink in the waves of the sea and disappear?
13876	Will they kill us for this?
13876	Would it not course through your limbs like fire?
13876	Would it not pour into your soul the divine, abiding strength of your mighty mother, the eternal earth- spirit?"
13876	Yes, my friend, you are the last of a kind now otherwise extinct, are you not,_ mon vieux?_ No, no, there-- gently!
13876	Yet how to reconcile this impending terror with the other obvious facts of the situation?
13876	You saw all things done, did you not, after the precepts of your ancestors?"
13876	You wo n''t go away from me ever, will you?
13876	_ Mais que voulez- vous?
13876	and where do you come from?"
13876	and with a sea running twelve feet high like that?
13876	he cried,"you do not understand our customs, and will you teach_ me_, the very high god, the guardian of the laws and practices of Boupari?
13876	the eldest among them said, making a profound reverence,"shall we swim across to the reef and fetch them home to your house?
13721	''Ah, then,''yet lower moan made I;''and why create the germs that sin and suffer, but to perish?'' 13721 ''What shaft has yet been sunk to the antipodes?
13721	A curious story that,said Media;"whence came it?"
13721	A tree? 13721 A truce to your everlasting pratings of old Bardianna,"said King Media; why not speak your own thoughts, Babbalanja?
13721	According to the best accounts, how did he depart, Babbalanja?
13721	Again on the verge, Babbalanja? 13721 Ah, indeed?"
13721	Alas,cried Babbalanja,"do the fairies then wait on repletion?
13721	Alas,sighed Yoomy,"and does he not promise us any good thing, when we are dead?"
13721	All three: is it not a pleasant concert?
13721	Alma all over,cried Mohi;"sure, you read from his sayings?"
13721	And am I not drinking, my lord? 13721 And are all inductions vain?"
13721	And are not foul streams often traced to pure fountains, my lord?
13721	And are not these things enjoined by Alma? 13721 And call you that righteousness, my lord, which is but the price paid down for something else?"
13721	And did Azzageddi conduct you to their realms?
13721	And did I ever deny that?
13721	And how long stay they so?
13721	And how runs it?
13721	And lord Abrazza:--who is he?
13721	And may the guardian of an estate also hold custody of the ward, my lord?
13721	And pray, what may you be driving at, philosopher?
13721	And think you not, old Bardianna knew that?
13721	And think you, old man,said Media,"that, bane or blessing, Bello will yield his birthright?
13721	And was not Vivenza once Dominora''s also? 13721 And what are men?"
13721	And what are they?
13721	And what has the sage to the point this time?
13721	And what if they destroy human life?
13721	And what is death?
13721	And what is it, to be something?
13721	And what may Bardianna have to do with yonder orb?
13721	And what may you be so full of?
13721	And what of them?
13721	And what of them?
13721	And what says the archangel Vavona, Yoomy, in that wonderful drama of his,''The Souls of the Sages?'' 13721 And what sort of a vegetable is that?"
13721	And what wants an aged mortal like you with all these things?
13721	And what was that owing to, my lord?
13721	And what would the company do?
13721	And wherefore,said Media,"do you mortals undertake the ascent at all?
13721	And why may King Yoky ask that question?
13721	And why not?
13721	And why put back? 13721 And with it, you mortals are little else; do you not chirp all over, Mohi?
13721	Are all our dreams, then, vain?
13721	Are these men?
13721	Are you crazy, Babbalanja?
13721	Are you publishing some decamped burglar,said Media,"that you speak thus of my royal friend, the lord Abrazza?
13721	Art resuscitated, then, Babbalanja?
13721	Art thou Ravoo, that thou so pliest thy legs?
13721	Ay, gone,said Babbalanja,"and whither?
13721	Ay, keep moving is my motto; but speaking of hard students, did my lord ever hear of Midni the ontologist and entomologist?
13721	Ay; why not? 13721 Ay?"
13721	Babbalanja,said Media,"no more of your abstrusities; what know you mortals of us gods and demi- gods?
13721	Bring forth your thoughts like men; let them come naked into Mardi.--What do you mean, Babbalanja?
13721	But Babbalanja, is there no way of reconciling these foes?
13721	But Oh- Oh,said Babbalanja,"what other discoveries have you made?
13721	But can that eye see itself, Yoomy?
13721	But could you really be disembodied here in Mardi, Babbalanja, how would you fancy it?
13721	But great Oro must have had some hand in making your mountains and streams.--Would ye have been as great in a desert?
13721	But has it any meaning you know of?
13721	But how enlarge your bounds? 13721 But how knowest thou the way?"
13721	But if the reaper reaps on his own harvest- field, whose then the sheaf, my lord?
13721	But the old fashioned pouch or purse of your grandams?
13721	But what are Dicibles?
13721	But what comes of it?
13721	But what is this ambergris? 13721 But what, if widely he dissent from your belief in Alma;--then, surely, ye must cast him forth?"
13721	But when the jackals howl round you?
13721	But whither now?
13721	But who has seen these things, Mohi?
13721	But who is lord Abrazza?
13721	But who put the balance into thy hands, King Bello?
13721	But without priests and temples, how long will flourish this your faith?
13721	But, Babbalanja,said Yoomy,"what asks Verdanna of Dominora, that Verdanna so clamors at the denial?"
13721	By the way, is it not old Bardianna who says, that no Mardian should undertake to walk, without keeping one foot foremost?
13721	Call ye us brothers, whom ere now ye never saw?
13721	Can not a man then, be described by running off the catalogue of his ancestors?
13721	Come you of a long- lived race,said Mohi,"one free from apoplexies?
13721	Did Babbalanja speak?
13721	Did I not just hint what they were, my child? 13721 Do I not know all about it, minstrel?
13721	Do these attendants, then,said Babbalanja,"so continually new- marshal the idols, that visiting the gallery to- day, you are at a loss to- morrow?"
13721	Do ye then claim to live what your Master hath spoken? 13721 Do you take me for a mere man, then, Babbalanja, that you talk to me thus?"
13721	Do you take me, then, for a fool, and a Fatalist? 13721 Does Yillah choose rather to bower in the wild wilderness of Vivenza, than in the old vineyards of Porpheero?"
13721	Does she not demand her harvests, my lord?
13721	Dost ever feel in thee a sense of right and wrong? 13721 Even so,"said the old man,"is not Oro the father of all?
13721	Fathoms you mean, Mohi; see you not he is musing over the gunwale? 13721 For many ages has not this faith lived, in spite of priests and temples?
13721	From my very birth have I been so, my lord; am I not possessed by a devil?
13721	From sole to crown?
13721	Gibberish, your Highness? 13721 Go we to bury our dead?
13721	Has he not said?
13721	Hast taken root within this treacherous soil?
13721	Have they souls?
13721	Have we mortals naught to rest on, but what we see with eyes? 13721 Have you that, then, of which you speak, Babbalanja?
13721	Heads or tails?
13721	Hear ye not Alanno?
13721	His last words?
13721	How can he, my lord,said Mohi,"when he is thinking of furlongs?"
13721	How is that, Babbalanja,said Media,"is a circle square?"
13721	How know ye me to be king?
13721	How many more theories have you? 13721 How now, Babbalanja?"
13721	How now, mortal?
13721	How now?
13721	How?
13721	How?
13721	I am but a lowly laborer,said the old man, meekly crossing his arms,"but does not the lowliest laborer ask and receive his reward?
13721	I am no sage,said Yoomy,"what would my lord Media do?"
13721	I am willing to assume any thing you please, my lord: what is it?
13721	I can not see,replied Pani; but feeling of his garments, he said,"Thou wouldst deceive me; hast thou not this robe, and this staff?"
13721	If not of yourself, then, Yoomy, of whom else do you think?
13721	If ungrateful, he smite you?
13721	If yet an ingrate?
13721	If you, then, know nothing of the future-- did Bardianna?
13721	In Oro''s name, what ails you, philosopher? 13721 Indeed?"
13721	Indeed?
13721	Indeed?
13721	Is Mardi to be one conflagration? 13721 Is he crazy again?"
13721	Is it not in your serene Highness''s regal port, and eye?
13721	Is it war?
13721	Is it? 13721 Is not this your habitation already more than abundantly supplied with all desirable furnishings?"
13721	Is the last day at hand, old man? 13721 Is the literal part of that a fact?"
13721	Is this man divine?
13721	Is this our lord the king?
13721	Is this specter, Taji?
13721	Is this to be longer borne?
13721	It waxes late,said Mohi;"your Highnesses, is it not time to break up?"
13721	Left he nothing whatever to his kindred?
13721	Let us away,said Media--"why seek more?
13721	May you not possibly mistake, my lord? 13721 Meanest thou, Perfect or Imperfect Dicibles?"
13721	Methinks, Babbalanja, you savor of the mysterious parchment, in Vivenza read:--Ha? 13721 Mohi, how long think you, may one of these pipe- bowls last?"
13721	Mohi, how''s your appetite this morning?
13721	Mohi, what you?
13721	My lord, why land?
13721	My lord, why this mirth? 13721 My lord,"murmured Mohi,"Is not this philosopher like a centipede?
13721	My lord,said Babbalanja;"still must we shun the unmitigated evil; and only view the good; or evil so mixed therewith, the mixture''s both?"
13721	Not so with us; who, rear to rear, shake each other''s tails, and courteously inquire,''Pray, worthy sir, how now stands the great thermometer?''
13721	Now, Mohi, who art thou?
13721	Now, then, Babbalanja,said Media,"what have you come to in all this rhapsody?
13721	Now, to what purpose that anecdote?
13721	Obsequious varlets,said Media,"where tarry your masters?"
13721	Of one poor, and naked?
13721	Old man, would you express an infinite number? 13721 Philosopher, have you a head?"
13721	Philosopher, our great reef is surrounded by an ocean; what think you lies beyond?
13721	Pray, Azzageddi,said Media,"are you not a fool?"
13721	Right royal, and thrice worshipful Lord of Odo, do you take us for our domestics? 13721 Say I not truth, my lord?
13721	Say you so, my lord? 13721 Semi- intelligible, say you, philosopher?"
13721	Serenia?
13721	Shall I adjourn the court then, my lord?
13721	Shall I continue aloud, then, my lord?
13721	Shall I sing it, my lord? 13721 Shall I test his sanity, my lord?"
13721	Shall we land?
13721	Shall we then, my lord?
13721	Still posed, Babbalanja?
13721	Surely, our brief voyage, may not embrace all Mardi like its reef?
13721	Taken out of its socket, will it see at all? 13721 Tell me, Yoomy,"said Babbalanja,"are you not in fault?
13721	Tetrads; Pentads; Hexads; Heptads; Ogdoads:--meanest thou those?
13721	The Isle of Cripples?
13721	Then, if thou comprehendest not my nomenclature:--how my science? 13721 Then, my lord, what brought such a careless being into Mardi?"
13721	Then, what art thou, Mohi?
13721	Then, why deny those theories yourself? 13721 Then, why think at all?
13721	This wine? 13721 Thou meanest not, surely, this stone image we behold?"
13721	Tingling is the test,said Babbalanja,"Yoomy, did you tingle, when that song was composing?"
13721	Vee- Vee,said Babbalanja,"did you fall on purpose?"
13721	Verdanna inferior to Dominora, my lord!--Has she produced no bards, no orators, no wits, no patriots? 13721 Weal or woe?"
13721	Well, Azzageddi, how could that answer his purpose?
13721	Were there no codicils?
13721	What ails that somnambulist?
13721	What dost thou, fellow- being, here in Mardi?
13721	What doth Mardi here, fellow- being, under me?
13721	What has become of our finises, or tails, then?
13721	What is it, my lord? 13721 What is to be done for Verdanna?"
13721	What mermaid is this?
13721	What mob is this?
13721	What next?
13721	What recompense do you desire, old man?
13721	What say you, wise one?
13721	What says your majesty?
13721	What see you, mortal?
13721	What were you about to say concerning the Tunicata order of mollusca, sir philosopher?
13721	What will she do for herself?
13721	What wonders?
13721	What, minstrel; must nothing ultimate come of all that melody? 13721 What, on the cracks in his own pate?"
13721	When, then, wast thou first conscious of being?
13721	Whence came ye?
13721	Where is your king?
13721	Where think you, he is now?
13721	Where was I, Braid- Beard?
13721	Where, indeed?
13721	Where? 13721 Which mean you?"
13721	Which of us is right?
13721	Whither bound? 13721 Who art thou?"
13721	Who composed that monody?
13721	Who eat these plants thus nourished?
13721	Who else is for glory?
13721	Who is this babbler?
13721	Who speaks now?
13721	Who then?--Media?--Any one you know?
13721	Who will heed it,thought he;"what care these fops and brawlers for me?
13721	Whose arms?
13721	Why claim to know Oro, then, better than others?
13721	Why club such frights as ye? 13721 Why land, then?"
13721	Why not blow their trumpets louder, then,cried Media, that all Mardi may hear?"
13721	Why not say so yourself, then?
13721	Why?
13721	Will none tell, who Abrazza is?
13721	Will you never come to the mark, Babbalanja? 13721 Will you quit driving your sleet upon us?
13721	Without what?
13721	Yoomy, did you sup on flounders last night?
13721	Your social state?
13721	''Hast thou come from out the shadows of Ofo?''
13721	''Nay, nay,''replied they, why seek further?
13721	''Will ye without eyes presume to see more sharply than those who have them?
13721	--Hark ye, sirrah;-- why rave you thus in this poor mortal?"
13721	ABRAZZA(_ to Media_)--My dear lord, his teeth are marvelously white and sharp: some she- shark must have been his dam:--does he often grin thus?
13721	ABRAZZA(_ to Media_)--Pray, my lord, is this good gentleman a devil?
13721	ABRAZZA-- And what then?
13721	ABRAZZA-- How came it, that they all were blind?
13721	ABRAZZA-- Wanting the second motive, would the first have sufficed, philosopher?
13721	ALL-- How?
13721	Am I not mad to saddle Mardi with such a task?
13721	And all she now asks, she has had in times past; but without turning it to advantage:--and is she wiser now?"
13721	And divers brief books, with panic- striking titles:--"Are you safe?"
13721	And have I not reason to be wary, when in my boyhood, my own sire was burnt for his temerity; and in this very isle?
13721	And how could that be, unless the substance was first soft?
13721	And if here in Mardi they can not abide an equality with plebeians, even at the altar; how shall they endure them, side by side, throughout eternity?
13721	And is such a madman to be intrusted with himself?
13721	And is this shallow phraseman the renowned Doxodox whom I have been taught so highly to reverence?
13721	And may not this same state of being, though but alternate with me, be continually that of many dumb, passive objects we so carelessly regard?
13721	And now, what was it that originally impelled Lombardo to the undertaking?
13721	And thereby did not her own king unking himself?
13721	And therefore am I not worthy to stand erect before him?
13721	And to what end your eternal inquisitions?
13721	And what first brought her under the sway of Bello''s scepter?
13721	And what is it, that daily and hourly renews, and by a miracle, creates in me my flesh and my blood?
13721	And what, if he pulled down one gross world, and ransacked the etherial spheres, to build up something of his own-- a composite:--what then?
13721	And who lives that blasphemes?
13721	And would Alma inculcate the impossible?
13721	Any kind you please;-- but what are they?"
13721	Are all men of one heart and brain; one bone and sinew?
13721	Are all nations sprung of Dominora''s loins?
13721	Are not all mortals exposed to similar, nay, worse calamities, ineffably unavoidable?
13721	Are not half our lives spent in reproaches for foregone actions, of the true nature and consequences of which, we were wholly ignorant at the time?
13721	Are the cherubim grave?
13721	Are they not fed, clothed, and cared for?
13721	Are they not?"
13721	Are we angels, or dogs?
13721	Are we babes in the woods, to be scared by the shadows of the trees?
13721	Are you certain that doctrine is his?"
13721	Are you content, there where you stand?"
13721	Are your precepts practices?"
13721	Art in hell and damned, that thy sinews so snake- like coil and twist all over thee?
13721	Art thou?"
13721	Assume now, Babbalanja,--assume, my dear prince-- assume it, assume it, I say!--Why do n''t you?"
13721	At a blow, annihilate some distant tribe, now alive and jocund-- and what would we reck?
13721	Away!_""Art still bent on finding evil for thy good?"
13721	Azzageddi, can I drive thee out?"
13721	Azzageddi, is not Mardi a place far pleasanter, than that from whence you came?"
13721	Azzageddi, whom have you there?"
13721	BABBALANJA-- Hear you laughter at the birth of a man child, old man?
13721	Babbalanja rose to his feet, muttering to himself--"Is this assumed, or real?--Can a demi- god be mastered by wine?
13721	Babbalanja, are you acquainted with the history of Lombardo?
13721	Besides, was he not accounted a great god in the land?
13721	But Babbalanja, have you mortals no moral sense, as they call it?"
13721	But I would as lief_ adore_ your image, as that in my heart, for both mean the same; but more, how can I?
13721	But am I not myself an egregious coxcomb?
13721	But are not the old autumnal valleys of Porpheero more glorious than those of vernal Vivenza?
13721	But can opposite emotions be simultaneous in one being?
13721	But come, Babbalanja, hast forgotten all about Lombardo?
13721	But how connected were Hautia and Yillah?
13721	But how know I, that these sensations are identical with myself?
13721	But in the name of the Magi, what were these spells of theirs, so potent and occult?
13721	But look, the stars come forth, and who are these?
13721	But methinks''twas wondrous arrogant in him to talk to all Mardi at that lofty rate.--Did he think himself a god?
13721	But resume, philosopher-- what of Lombardo now?
13721	But shall we pronounce them pious and worthy youths for this?
13721	But tell me, Mohi, how many of your deities of rock and fen think you there are?
13721	But those pilgrims: that trusting girl.--What, if they saw me as I am?
13721	But to speak no more on that head--what sort of a sensation, think you, life is to such creatures as those mollusca?"
13721	But what can be expected from them?
13721	But what cared the dolphins?
13721	But what else see you, mortal?"
13721	But what matter?
13721	But what more of King Bello?
13721	But what said Bardianna, when they dunned him for autographs?--''Who keeps the register of great men?
13721	But when do you seem most yourself?"
13721	But where are our wings, which our fore- fathers surely had not?
13721	But where are the tails of the tadpoles, after their gradual metamorphosis into frogs?
13721	But where''s pretty Yoomy?-- Gone to meditate in the moonlight?
13721	But whither?
13721	But why am I, a middle aged Mardian, less prone to excesses than when a youth?
13721	But why think of that?
13721	But, Babbalanja, if Lombardo had aught to tell to Mardi-- why choose a vehicle so crazy?
13721	But, didst ever hear of his laying his axis?
13721	But, prithee, who are you, sirrah?"
13721	But, superior in men and arms, why, at last, gave over King Bello the hope of reducing those truculent men of Vivenza?
13721	Call you this poetry, minstrel?"
13721	Can none be in your company, Babbalanja, but you must perforce make them hob- a- nob with that old prater?
13721	Can not the divine cunning in thee, Bardianna, transmute to brightness these sullied pages?
13721	Can these sin?''
13721	Can we starve that noble instinct in us, and hope that it will survive?
13721	Come on, I say, for who shall stay ye?
13721	Come, laugh; will no one quaff wine, I say?
13721	Curiosity apart, do we really care whether the people in Bellatrix are immortal or no?
13721	Deaf, blind, and deprived of the power of scent, the bat will steer its way unerringly:--could we?
13721	Death, death:--blind, am I dead?
13721	Did I not say, we would melt him down at last, my lord?"
13721	Did he show it to any one for an opinion?
13721	Did he think to bejuggle me with his preposterous gibberish?
13721	Did not her own Chief Dermoddi fly to Bello''s ancestor for protection against his own seditious subjects?
13721	Did not their bards pronounce them a fresh start in the Mardian species; requiring a new world for their full development?
13721	Did they not strike at the rash deity in Alma?"
13721	Did ye not bring it with ye from the bold old shores of Dominora, where there is a fullness of it left?
13721	Do I exaggerate?--Mohi, tell me, if, save one lucid interval, Verdanna, while independent of Dominora, ever discreetly conducted her affairs?
13721	Do Tartary and Siberia lie beyond?
13721	Do not thy chronicles record me?
13721	Do our dreams come from below, and not from the skies?
13721	Do the archangels survey aught more glorious than the constellations we nightly behold?
13721	Do we then mutually deceive?
13721	Do you hear?"
13721	Do you show a tropical calm without?
13721	Does he abstain, who is not incited?
13721	Does not all Mardi wink and look on?
13721	Flozella- a- Nina!--An omen?
13721	For though many of my actions seem to have objects, and all of them somehow run into each other; yet, where is the grand result?
13721	For where the sense of a simple exchange of quantities, alike in value?"
13721	For which has the care of the other?
13721	Genius, genius?--a thousand years hence, to be a household- word?--I?-- Lombardo?
13721	Gibberish?
13721	Gibberish?
13721	Go we to a funeral, that our paddles seem thus muffled?
13721	Ha, ha!--will nobody join me?
13721	Had kind friends died, and bequeathed him their voices?
13721	Has it eyes to see itself; or is it blind?
13721	Has it not ever proved so?"
13721	Hast thou thyself his records searched?"
13721	Hast yet brought your microscope to bear upon a downy peach, or a rosy cheek?"
13721	Hast yet put a usurer under your lens, to find his conscience?
13721	Hath genius any stamp and imprint, obvious to possessors?
13721	Hath not Oro made me?
13721	Have I been sane?
13721	Have frogs any tails, old man?
13721	Have you no statistical table?"
13721	Having five keys, hold we all that open to knowledge?
13721	Herd ye, to keep in countenance; or are afraid of your own hideousness, that ye dread to go alone?
13721	How can we err, thus feeling?
13721	How comes it, that with so Many things to divide them, the valley- tribes still keep their mystic league intact?"
13721	How few are aware that ever it was?
13721	How is this, old man?"
13721	How is this?"
13721	How it crackles, forks, and roars!--Is this our funeral pyre?"
13721	How many are superfluous?
13721	How set he about that great undertaking, his Kortanza?
13721	How so?"
13721	I beseech you, who was the sage that asked it?"
13721	I faint, I am wordless:--something, nothing, riddles,--does Mardi hold her?"
13721	I may have come to the Penultimate, but where, sweet Yoomy, is the Ultimate?
13721	I mean, behind the scenes?
13721	I reel with incense:--can such sweets be evil?"
13721	I see with other eyes:--Are these my hands?
13721	I''ve told no secrets?"
13721	If eagles gaze at the sun, may not men at the gods?"
13721	If ever thou art sane again, wilt thou have reminiscences?
13721	Imbedded in amber, do we not find little fishes''fins, porpoise- teeth, sea- gulls''beaks and claws; nay, butterflies''wings, and sometimes a topaz?
13721	In Mardi, Alma preached in open fields,--and must his worshipers have palaces?"
13721	In his journeys inland, his little child leads him; why not, then, take the guide''s guide?"
13721	In the sight of a fowl, that sees not our souls, what are our own tokens of animation?
13721	In this grand silence, so intense, pierced by that pointed mass,--could ten thousand slaves have ever toiled?
13721	Is Oro''s honor in the keeping of Mardi?-- Oro''s conscience in man''s hands?
13721	Is it not a great and extensive republic?
13721	Is it not better for you mortals to clutch error as in a vice, than have your fingers meet in your hand?
13721	Is it not so, Oh- Oh?"
13721	Is it not terrifying to think of?
13721	Is it so?
13721	Is it so?
13721	Is not Kanneeda, Dominora''s?"
13721	Is not Oro omnipresent-- absolutely every where?"
13721	Is not reason subtile as quicksilver-- live as lightning-- a neighing charger to advance, but a snail to recede?
13721	Is not that, the evil eye that long ago did haunt me?
13721	Is she not the star, that must, ere long, lead up the constellations, though now unrisen?
13721	Is such a being nothing?"
13721	Is the great sun itself a frigid spectator?
13721	Is this thing of madness conscious to thyself?
13721	King Media?
13721	Know ye not, that here are many serfs, who, incited to obtain their liberty, might wreak some dreadful vengeance?
13721	Know you aught yet unrevealed by Babbalanja?"
13721	MEDIA-- And now that Lombardo is long dead and gone-- and his work, hooted during life, lives after him-- what think the present company of it?
13721	MEDIA-- And what was that?
13721	MEDIA-- Any one else?
13721	MEDIA-- Well: and what said Lombardo to those good friends of his,-- Zenzori, Hanto, and Roddi?
13721	MEDIA-- What is said of him there?
13721	MEDIA-- What then?
13721	MOHI-- Indeed?
13721	Many books, and many long, long chapters, are wanting to Vivenza''s history; and whet history but is full of blood?"
13721	May not his monody, then, be a spontaneous melody, that has been with us since Mardi began?
13721	Mohi, am I not a king?
13721	Mohi, what of the past?
13721	Must I go, and the flowers still bloom?
13721	Must you forever be a sieve for good grain to run through, while you retain but the chaff?
13721	Must your religion go hand in hand with all things secular?"
13721	My lord, are not our legs and arms all right?"
13721	Now, could it have been Babbalanja?
13721	Now, my masters, how far think you a flea may leap at one spring?
13721	Now, when the rocks grow gray, does man first sprout his beard?
13721	Of all men, am I the wisest, to stand upon a pedestal, and teach the mob?
13721	Of what available value reputation, unless wedded to power, dentals, or place?
13721	Oh, ye all- wise spirits in the air, how can ye witness all this woe, and give no sign?
13721	Or do we delude ourselves with being gods, and end in grubs?
13721	Or how can you hope to breathe that rarefied air, unfitted for your human lungs?"
13721	Or shall we employ it but for a paw, to help us to our bodily needs, as the brutes use their instinct?
13721	Or, do they lie?
13721	Or, has Vivenza yet proved her creed?
13721	Perceive you, Braid- Beard, that the trade- wind blows dead across this strait from Dominora, and not from Verdanna?
13721	Pray, observe how tall we are; just feel of our thighs; Are we not a glorious people?
13721	Rejoined Media:"But think you not, that possibly, Alma may have been misconceived?
13721	Rememberest thou, fellow- being, when thou wast born?"
13721	Round centuries on centuries have wheeled by:--has all this been its nonage?
13721	Said Babbalanja,"Very clever, my lord; but think you not, there are men eloquent, who never babble in the marketplace?"
13721	Said Media,"And do you famous mortals, then, take no pleasure in hearing your bravos?"
13721	Said Media:"I have heard much of the famed image of Mujo, the Nursing Mother;--can you point it out, Braid- Beard?"
13721	Said Mohi:"Do you deny, then, the everlasting torments?"
13721	Said Yoomy,"For that which stings, there is no cure,""Who, who is Hautia, that she stabs me thus?"
13721	Said he,"What fasting soldier can fight?
13721	Saw ye ever such a land as this?
13721	See you Paradise, that you look so wildly?"
13721	Seek you proselytes?
13721	Shall I tell you a story?"
13721	Shall we seek him out, that we may hearken to his wisdom?
13721	Sigh these yet to know?
13721	Smote with superstition, shall we let it wither and die out, a dead, limb to a live trunk, as the mad devotee''s arm held up motionless for years?
13721	So far off, can he live?
13721	Some remedies applied, and the company grown composed, Babbalanja thus:--"My lord Media, was there any human necessity for that accident?"
13721	Sure, there''s naught heard but yonder murmuring surf; what other sound heard you?"
13721	Taji, could you?"
13721	Take them, my friend; I have put in some good things for you:"MEDIA-- And who was Pollo?
13721	Tell a good man that he is free to commit murder,--will he murder?
13721	Tell a murderer that at the peril of his soul he indulges in murderous thoughts,--will that make him a saint?"
13721	Tell me, Mohi, where the Ephina?
13721	Tell me, if Verdanna may not claim full many a star along King Bello''s tattooed arm of Fame?
13721	Their prayers all said, and their futurities securely invested,--who so carefree and cozy as they?
13721	Then Pani said:"and what mortal may this be, who pretends to thread the labyrinthine wilds of Maramma?
13721	Then at arm''s length held them, and said,"And is all this wisdom lost?
13721	Then, are we not brothers?
13721	Then, turning upon Nulli,"How can ye abide to sway this curs''d dominion?"
13721	Then, whispering to Mohi--"Is he daft again?"
13721	Think you he discriminates between the deist and atheist?
13721	Think you, my lord, there is no sensation in being a tree?
13721	This very instant, my lord, my yeoman- guard is on duty without, to drive off intruders.--Hark!--what noise is that?--Ho, who comes?"
13721	To what final purpose, do I walk about, eat, think, dream?
13721	To what great end, does Mohi there, now stroke his beard?"
13721	Toil we not here?
13721	Vee- Vee; have you no cooling beverage?
13721	Was I not told to wrest commendation from it, though I tortured it to the quick?"
13721	Was she not always full of fights and factions?
13721	Was this isle, then, to prove the last place of my search, even as it was the Last- Verse- of- the- Song?
13721	Were they never heard of till he came?
13721	Were this well?
13721	What are others to us?
13721	What art thou, mortal?"
13721	What bard composed the soft verses that our palm boughs sing at even?
13721	What did Lombardo then?
13721	What else dost thou see?"
13721	What ethics prevail in the Pleiades?
13721	What hope for the fatherless among ye?"
13721	What is amber, old man?"
13721	What is this shining light in heaven, this sun they tell me of?
13721	What isle but Dominora could have supplied thee with that stiff spine of thine?-- That heart of boldest beat?
13721	What jargon of human sounds so puissant as to insult the unutterable majesty divine?
13721	What murderers these?"
13721	What now?"
13721	What shall appall us?
13721	What things have the synods in Sagittarius decreed?"
13721	What thoughts are these?
13721	What to him were huzzas?
13721	What underlieth the gold mines?
13721	What wonder then, that Bello of the Hump, the old sea- king of Mardi, should sport a brave ocean- chariot?
13721	What wonder, then, and where the wrong, if Henro, Bello''s conquering sire, seized the diadem?"
13721	What, if I was sad but just now?
13721	When we hear them, why seem they so natural, receiving our spontaneous approval?
13721	When you pour water, does it not gurgle?
13721	When you strike a pearl shell, does it not ring?
13721	When, then, did it begin?
13721	Whence come you, Azzageddi?"
13721	Whence then is this?
13721	Whence thy undoubted valor?
13721	Where have I lived till now?
13721	Where''s my throne?
13721	Where?"
13721	Wherever a canoe is beached, see you not the palm- trees pine?
13721	Which is ever giving timely hints, and elderly warnings?
13721	Which toils and ticks while the other sleeps?
13721	Who dare not declare, that we are not invincible?
13721	Who else may till unwholesome fields, but these?
13721	Who in Arcturus hath heard of us?
13721	Who is this?--a god?
13721	Who may read?
13721	Who may withstand the people?
13721	Who now thinks of that burning sphere?
13721	Who posted that parchment for you?"
13721	Who will read me?
13721	Who would not die brave, His ear smote by a stave?
13721	Who would suppose she had ever beat tappa for a living?"
13721	Who, what is he?
13721	Why fever your soul with these things?
13721	Why not follow it, Babbalanja?"
13721	Why not leap your graves, while ye may?
13721	Why not take creeds as they come?
13721	Will a tri- crowned king resign his triple diadem?
13721	Will gold the heart- ache cure?
13721	Will it have no end?
13721	Will my grave be more dark, than all is now?-- From dark to dark!--What is this subtle something that is in me, and eludes me?
13721	Will you weep?
13721	With golden pills and potions is sickness warded off?--the shrunken veins of age, dilated with new wine of youth?
13721	Would''st thou insult me with thy torn- foolery?
13721	Wouldst thou unking me?"
13721	Yet is not Verdanna as a child of King Bello''s?"
13721	Yet there thou sittest, Yoomy, gentle as a dove.--What art thou, minstrel, that thy soft, singing soul should so master all mortals?
13721	Yet why, why live?
13721	Yoomy, am I not the soul of some one glorious song?
13721	You have given us the history of the rock; can your sapience tell the origin of all the isles?
13721	Your cup, Babbalanja; any lees?"
13721	_ thou_ horrified at this?
13721	and dwelling in moody state, all by himself, in the goodliest island of Mardi?
13721	and even if attainable, what would you do upon that lofty, clouded summit?
13721	and how long may ink last?
13721	and moving lights, and painted lanterns!--What grand shore is this?
13721	and shall it not survive them?
13721	and shall we be forever slothful elsewhere?
13721	and thou, the Hautia who hast followed me, and wooed, and mocked, and tempted me, through all this long, long voyage?
13721	are there no tall men in Dominora, that King Bello must needs send this dwarf hither?"
13721	because the sky is clouded, why cloud your brows?
13721	cried Babbalanja, but turn the medal, my lord;-- what says the reverse?"
13721	cried Babbalanja,"comes sweet scented ambergris from those musky and chain- plated river cavalry?
13721	cried Babbalanja;"and are their souls, then, blown out as candles?"
13721	cried Babbalanja;"and doth this thing exist?
13721	cried Media,"there, chiseled over the arch?"
13721	cried Media;"what now?"
13721	cried Mohi,"are we then taken for cripples, by the very King of the Cripples?
13721	cried Yoomy,"must I be not, and millions be?
13721	cried he with the wondrous eyes,"come ye, firebrands, to light the flame of revolt?
13721	cried the blind old pilgrim;"is it, then, a stone image that Pani calls a tree?
13721	demanded Media,"why could no trace be found?"
13721	did Alma revisit Mardi, think you, it would be among those Morals he would lay his head?"
13721	did Lombardo laugh with a long face?
13721	didst ever hear of the Shark- Syllogism?"
13721	do we part?
13721	does he not know that all the Past and its graves are being dug over?"
13721	drowned then, even as she dreamed:--I come, I come!--Ha, what form is this?--hast mosses?
13721	essaying the deposition of kings?
13721	feeling the sap in one''s boughs, the breeze in one''s foliage?
13721	have all martyrs for thee bled in vain; in vain we poets sang, and prophets spoken?
13721	having power of life and death?
13721	he cried, pointing his pike,"or peace?"
13721	how Mardi came to be?"
13721	how convert the vicious, without persuasion of some special seers?
13721	how he sinks!--but did''st ever dive in deep waters, Taji?
13721	how may we know or not, we are what we would be?
13721	must all dissemble?
13721	my lord, is there no blest Odonphi?
13721	my wise ones, you have hit it,"cried Piko;"but will Hello say ay?"
13721	no Astrazzi?"
13721	no final and inexhaustible meaning?
13721	no happiness supreme?
13721	none of that golden wine distilled from torrid grapes, and then sent northward to be cellared in an iceberg?
13721	of those who, living thoughtless lives of sin, die unregenerate; no service done to Oro or to Mardian?''
13721	of what merit, his precepts, unless they may be practiced?
13721	one of a herd, bison- like, wending its way across boundless meadows of ether?
13721	or a libertine, to find his heart?
13721	or does that witch Hautia haunt thee?
13721	said Babbalanja,"have you?"
13721	said Media, calmly;"whom can they seek?--you, Taji?"
13721	said Media,"Bardianna, Azzageddi, or Babbalanja?"
13721	said Media,"what say you to that, now, Babbalanja?"
13721	said Media;"are there those who soothe themselves with the thought of everlasting flames?"
13721	said Mohi,"who does not see stars at such times?
13721	said Yoomy,"and has not the reaper a right to his sheaf?"
13721	saw you not the dust?"
13721	say the Islanders,"are they not sacred?"
13721	sea- thyme?
13721	see you not the isle is hedged?"
13721	supreme?
13721	their state still mixed?
13721	these great geniuses writing trash?
13721	think you it is nothing to be a world?
13721	those imaginary beings?
13721	to have the upper hand of me?
13721	turn toward us hearts estranged?
13721	what ails thee?"
13721	what incense is this?"
13721	what inscription is that?"
13721	what regions lie beyond?"
13721	what vile thing are you not?
13721	where, where, where, my lord, is the everlasting Tekana?
13721	which keeps house?
13721	which looks after the replenishing of the aorta and auricles, and stores away the secretions?
13721	who decides upon noble actions?
13721	who''s for Cathay?"
13721	why do we think we have heard them before?
13721	why not be content on the plain?
13721	will gold, on solid centers empires fix?
13721	with opium, thou wouldst drug this land, and murder it in sleep!--And what boot thy conquests here?
13721	would you have my epitaph read thus:--''Here lies the emptiest of mortals, who was full of himself?''
13721	you would take advantage of my reveries, would you?
