46677( 2) What combinations do these elements undergo and what laws govern these combinations?
46677And how is it that just three such pairs of contrasts exist, which we shall call for the sake of shortness the three dimensions of feeling?
46677Are there, we naturally ask at once, psychological principles of similar universal validity?
46677Does it always return in the same quality?
46677For if we ask further, what is this consciousness which psychology investigates?
46677How are we to explain this feeling?
46677Is each of these forms perfectly uniform?
46677Now, how are these combinations constituted, and what laws are they subject to?
46677Or in other words, are the only psychical elements such as we project outwards?
46677Or who has not had experiences such as the following?
46677The next question that immediately presents itself is: Of what kind is the specific content that appears to us in these forms?
46677The problem consists in answering the question that immediately arises, How big is this narrower scope of attention?
46677The question immediately arises: Do these objective elements and complexes form the only content of consciousness?

2529( 2) DOES EVERYTHING OBSERVABLE OBEY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS?
2529( 2) What are we feeling when we say this?
2529( 2) What is the relation of this present occurrence to the past event which is remembered?
2529( 3) CAN WE OBSERVE ANYTHING INTRINSICALLY DIFFERENT FROM SENSATIONS?
2529And even if SOME image does persist, how do we know that it is the previous image unchanged?
2529And what sort of evidence is logically possible?
2529Buhler says( p. 303):"We ask ourselves the general question:''WHAT DO WE EXPERIENCE WHEN WE THINK?''
2529But why should we suppose that there is some one common cause of all these appearances?
2529Can we constitute memory out of images together with suitable beliefs?
2529Can we say, conversely, that it consists wholly of such accuracy of response?
2529Does the image persist in presence of the sensation, so that we can compare the two?
2529For what is it to imagine a winged horse but to affirm that the horse[ that horse, namely] has wings?
2529How do I know that there is awareness?
2529How do we know that the sensation resembles the previous image?
2529How is it possible to know that a memory- image is an imperfect copy, without having a more accurate copy by which to replace it?
2529How, then, are we to find any way of comparing the present image and the past sensation?
2529If we are asked"What is the capital of France?"
2529If we suppose it effected, what would become of the difference between vital and mechanical movements?
2529If you ask a boy"What is twice two?"
2529Is there ultimately no difference, or do images remain as irreducibly and exclusively psychological?
2529Is"consciousness"ultimate and simple, something to be merely accepted and contemplated?
2529It is clear that the question turns upon another, namely, which can we know best, the psychology of animals or that of human beings?
2529It may be said: If there is no single existent which is the source of all these"aspects,"how are they collected together?
2529Now, what are the occasions when, we actively believe that Charles I was executed?
2529One of the laws which distinguish psychology( or nerve- physiology?)
2529Or that insects, in laying eggs, are concerned for the preservation of their species?
2529Or, to state the same question in other terms: How is psychology to be distinguished from physics?
2529Our two questions are, in the case of memory:( 1) What is the present occurrence when we remember?
2529Suppose two children in a school, both of whom are asked"What is six times nine?"
2529There are two distinct questions to be asked:( 1) What causes us to say that a thing occurs?

2529Who can believe, for example, that a new- born baby is aware of the necessity of food for preserving life?
2529William James''s view was first set forth in an essay called"Does''consciousness''exist?
18843And again you ask,"How came the first consciousness?"
18843And what is_ mind_?
18843But how do we know?
18843But how shall we classify these various contents?
18843But of what use to man, then, are the lower brain centers?
18843But to what end does it act?
18843But what are its incentives to action?
18843But what do we mean by a stimulus?
18843But what end do we actually find these functions serving?
18843But what of the things we must use frequently and can not find in our minds?
18843But why?
18843But why?

18843The conditions of mental life-- what are they?
18843The question is, Do I need any more energy- producing food when I am not burning up what I have?

18843What are hospitals and nurses for, anyway?

18843Why does she wear white?
18843Will it turn to attend to the host of other more desirable objects?
18843Will it use it as a means to strengthen volition, as a stepping- stone to self- mastery?
18843and if so, do you remember just how you did it the first time?
20522But his imaginations...."What are such imaginations?
20522O mother, can you believe?
20522--_The Author.__ CREATION OR EVOLUTION?
20522A man of genius is to make his wife miserable?
20522And with this yet again: How may he use his inheritance-- to what end and under what limitations?
20522But how great a variation?
20522But it may be asked: Why do succeeding generations improve each on its parents, so that there is a gradual tendency to perfect the instinct?
20522But, on the other hand, we may ask: How do we come to infer this or that thought from this or that action of another?
20522Do they play much with one another alone?
20522Do we find inroads made in Newport society by the ranchman and the dry- goods clerk?
20522Does he sleep in the same bed or room with them?
20522Does the coachman have an equal chance to get the heiress, or the blacksmith the clergyman''s daughter?
20522Does the female pea- fowl consider the male bird, with all his display of colour and movement, a beautiful object?
20522For as soon as we ask,"How much mind is necessary to start with?"
20522For instance, what use to an animal to be able partly to make the movements of swimming, or to the birds to build an inadequate nest?
20522Furthermore, why is it that plays are characteristic of species, different kinds of animals having plays quite peculiar to themselves?
20522Generally, then, who is eligible for the social inheritance?
20522Given social variations, therefore, differences among men, what becomes of this man or that?
20522Has he brothers or sisters?
20522How did his father come to marry his mother, and the reverse?
20522How does he learn the muscular combinations which supplement or replace the earlier instinctive ways of acting?
20522Is this a reason for excluding him from society?
20522Now what is the line of treatment that such a child should have?
20522Now what shall be done with such a student in his early school years?
20522Now, if this be the social heritage, we may go on to ask: Who are to inherit it?
20522Should not the colours chosen be equal in purity, intensity, lustre, illumination, etc.?
20522The incessant"why?"
20522The last question, then, is this: When does the child get the different colour_ Sensations_( not recognitions), and in what order?
20522There, is that better, my darling?"
20522To this we may again add the further question: How does the one who is born to such a heritage as this come into his inheritance?
20522Was there ever a child who did not play"church,"and force the improvised"papa"into the pulpit?
20522We exclaim at once: who made the past the measure of the future?
20522What can set limit to the possible variations of fruitful intellectual power?
20522What could tell us more of what mind is than this record of what mind has done?
20522What goes on in this interval between the advent of the incoming nerve process and the discharge of the outgoing nerve process?
20522What is meant by Intelligence?
20522What possesses a man, that all on a sudden, without consulting a doctor, he takes it into his head to eat nothing but vegetables?
20522What, then, is social heredity?
20522What, then, shall we say of the genius from this point of view?
20522Who is free from social considerations in selecting his wife?
20522Who will deny to the Great Purpose a similar resource in producing the universe and in providing for us all?
20522Why be content with an impression?
20522Why hint of a"certain this and a certain that"when the"certain,"if it mean anything, commonly means the uncertain?
20522Why let the personal reaction of the individual''s feeling suffice?
20522Would not the rest of the rat tribe be justified in leaving this anomaly behind to starve in the hole where his singular appendage held him fast?
20522Yet why guess?
20522_ The Origin of Right- handedness._--The question,"Why are we right or left- handed?"
20522and who made social approval the measure of truth?
20522how many of each, and of what age?
20522must be followed by a second-- i.e., What did his doing that mean?
20522when his friend in the sport makes a fine feint, and comes up serene with the knowing look, which the human on- looker can not fail to understand?
743And wherefore not?
743Is the sun the principal cause of the temperature of the earth? 743 What went ye out into the wilderness to see"said Jesus Christ:"a reed shaken with the wind?"
743Who enquires of an enemy, whether it is by fraud or heroic enterprise that he has gained the day?
743--Yet-- so capricious is fame-- a century has nearly elapsed, since Pope said, Who now reads Cowley?
743A primary enquiry under this head is as to the duration of life: Is it long, or short?
743Am not I therefore( the person engaged in reading the present Essay) the only being in existence, an entire universe to myself?"
743And is this mysterious and concealed way of proceeding one of the forms through which we are to pass in the school of liberty?
743And is this the proud attitude of liberty, to which we are so eager to aspire?
743And shall we teach men to discharge this debt in the dark?
743And to whom, said the king, wilt thou appeal?
743And who does not feel that every thing depends upon the creed we embrace, and the discipline we exercise over our own souls?
743And, if he did, where was the gold to be found, to satisfy his demand?
743Are the virtues of the best men, the noblest philosophers, and the most disinterested patriots of antiquity, nothing?
743But does any one, for himself or his posterity, expect to see this realised?
743But does it record nothing else?
743But how does the case really stand?
743But how does the matter really stand?
743But how shall I most effectually conceal the truth from him?
743But is it always so?
743But what I want to ascertain is, why the bare thought of doing so takes a momentary hold of the mind of the person addressed?
743But what are all these, when compared with those that fill the whole expanse, the boundless field of aether?
743But what has this to do with the world in which we live?
743Could I?"
743Did ever any one put out his penny to interest in this fashion for eighteen hundred years?
743Does not all this strongly argue the solidity of the science to which they belong?
743From what disposition in human nature is it that all this accommodation and concurrence proceed?
743He considers, Will this man submit to my summons without resistance, or in what manner will he repel my trespass?
743He might be ready to exclaim, with Hazael in the Scriptures,"Is thy servant more than man, that he should do this great thing?"
743He says, What am I, that I should be the object of this?
743How are we sure that they do then?
743How comes it then that our nature labours under so bitter an aspersion?
743How does this correspond with the goodness of God, which will suffer no mass of matter in his creation to remain unoccupied?
743How is all this to be done by me?
743How is this to be reconciled with the want of constancy which his organisation plainly indicates?
743How many men are there, that have examined the evidences of their religious belief, and can give a sound"reason of the faith that is in them?"
743How many men now exist on the face of the earth?
743How then does the question stand with relation to mind?
743I have here instanced in the case of the peripatetic: but of how many classes and occupations of human life may not the same thing be affirmed?
743I say, that one of the thoughts that will occur to many of the persons who should be so invited, will be,"Shall I take him at his word?"
743I should still say, Whatever I may do, whether it be right or wrong, I can not help it; wherefore then should I trouble the master- spirit within me?
743In what manner then shall these deputies be elected?
743Is it characteristic of a free state or a tyranny?
743Is it not enough?
743Is it not the first ejaculation of the miserable,"Oh, that I could fly from myself?
743Is its cause something of absolute and substantive existence without me, or is it not?
743Is not the Iliad a thing new, and that will for ever remain new?
743Is this the picture we desire to see of genuine liberty, philanthropic, desirous of good to all, and overflowing with all generous emotions?
743May I be allowed to tell it to my wife or my child?
743May not lines which have reached to so amazing a length without meeting, be in reality parallel lines?
743Must there not be in this subtle distribution much of what is arbitrary and sciolistic?
743Of these hours how many belong to the province of intellect?
743The experience we have had as to the truth of the smaller, does it authorise us to consider the larger as unquestionable?
743The instant this question is proposed, I hear myself replied to from all quarters: What is there so well known as the brevity of human life?
743The preceptor may occasionally perhaps prescribe to the pupil a severe task; and the young adventurer may say, Can I be expected to accomplish this?
743Then what may I not have to fear?
743Then what may be chance to say?
743Then what would not omnipotence effect?
743These new planets also we are told are fragments of a larger planet: how came this larger planet never to have been discovered?
743This brings us back to the question:"Is there indeed nothing new under the sun?"
743This certainly is a fearful judgment awarded upon our species: but is it true?
743What can be expected from the buds of the most auspicious infancy, if encountered in their earliest stage with the rigorous blasts of a polar climate?
743What can be more clear and sound in explanation, than the love of a parent to his child?
743What can be more different than the gentry of the west end of this metropolis, and the money- making dwellers in the east?
743What did this answer imply as to the political government of the country where it was given?
743What has not man effected by the boldness of his conceptions and the adventurousness of his spirit?
743What indeed is life, unless so far as it is enjoyed?
743What is it, that presents to every eye the image of liberty, and compels every heart to confess, This is the temple where she resides?
743What is the true explanation of these determinations of the human will?
743What looks of reproach may he cast upon me?
743What more unlike than a soldier and a sailor?
743What solution so natural, as that they are produced by beings like myself, the duplicates, with certain variations, of what I feel within me?
743What then were the obstacles, that should in any degree counteract my smooth and rapid progress in the studies suggested to me?
743When all these demands have been supplied, how many hours will be left for intellectual occupation?
743When the loose mountain trembles from on high, Shall gravitation cease, if you go by?
743Where is the man who can say that no unconscious bias has influenced him in the progress of his investigation?
743Which of us is happy?
743Who can behold the human eye, suddenly suffused with moisture, or gushing with tears unbid, and the quivering lip, without unspeakable emotion?
743Who is it that says,"There is no love but among equals?"
743Who shall pronounce that, under very different circumstances, his conclusions would not have been essentially other than they are?
743Who shall set bounds to the everlasting variety of nature, as she has recorded her creations in the heart of man?
743Why did the liberal- minded man perform his first act of benevolence?
743Why do these men take so different courses?
743Why is it then that disbelief or doubt should still subsist in a question so fully decided?
743Yet how many motives are there, constraining him to abide in an affirmative conclusion?
743Yet may not the mean temperature of the Georgium Sidus be nearly the same as that of the earth?
743Yet what is human speech for the most part but mere imitation?
743and whence comes it?
743every thing is very good?"
38582Government of the people, by the same people--can or can not such a government"maintain its own integrity against its own domestic foes?"
38582); and the Constitutional rights of slavery( should slavery spread?).
38582And, these true qualities being seen in each, as between the two, which proves itself superior; in which does the soul of man find rest?
38582Are Lincoln''s principles so radical, so comprehensive, so well- ordered, as to deserve a title so supreme?
38582Are his teachings true?
38582Are love and truth and liberty, the crown of human dignity, enthroned in God ideally?
38582Are moral beings subject to decay?
38582Are other men so super- excellent that life, and liberty, and happiness are theirs by right, though never earned or even struggled for at all?
38582Are some men entitled to a luxury and ease they never earned, while to other men the luxury and ease they have fairly won may be denied?
38582As between these two realities, each so imperial and so irreducible, which holds primacy?
38582As the dissension deepened, two questions rose, outstanding above the rest:--the Constitutional integrity of the several States( might States secede?
38582But what is personality?
38582By whose hand was it transcribed?
38582Can a contract be peaceably unmade by less than all the parties who made it?
38582Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws?
38582Can he indeed redeem?
38582Can it master"its own domestic foes?"
38582Can it"maintain its own integrity?"
38582Can men who assume their self- control be trusted to maintain their self- respect?
38582Can such a complex attitude be shown and seen to rest in moral harmony?
38582Can they ever all be morally harmonized?
38582Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws among friends?
38582Could a strong man enslave the weak?
38582Could even God enlighten that dark past?
38582Could his own historic acts be morally unified?
38582Could the Union endure?
38582Dare some men forswear toil?
38582Deep within the deeps of this supreme address, clear within the rhythms of these resounding trilogies, what does one see and hear?
38582Did Lincoln then neglect that famous formula of argumentative address?
38582Did he have in store, and did he have in hand, the needful wealth of pertinent facts?
38582Does God come near to finite man?

8909_ If, then, it be enquired of him,_ can not God give to matter the faculty of thought?_ he will answer,_no!
8909ARE NOT TRAITORS DISTINGUISHED BY PUBLIC HONORS?
8909Adopting this supposition, it may be inquired, why Nature does not produce under our own eyes new beings-- new species?
8909An unfaithful wife, does she outrage his heart?
8909Are his organs sound?
8909Are nations reduced to despair?
8909Are these animals so indispensably requisite to Nature, that without them she can not continue her eternal course?

8909At the same time nature refuses him every happiness, she opens to him a door by which he quits life; does he refuse to enter it?
8909But does it depend on man to be sensible or not?
8909But does not a profound sleep help to give him a true idea of this nothing?
8909But has truth the power to injure him?
8909But how can he foresee effects of which he has not yet any knowledge?
8909But how can he, without experience, assure himself of the accuracy, of the justness of this association?
8909But how has he become sensible?
8909But in this case, does not the theologian, according to his own assertion, acknowledge himself to be the true atheist?
8909But is not this organization itself the work of Nature?
8909But it will be asked, and not a little triumphantly, from whence did she derive her motion?
8909But it will be urged, has man always existed?
8909But the question is, what gives birth to this idea in his brain?
8909But what is the end?
8909But what is the general direction, or common tendency, we see in all beings?
8909But, how is he to acquire experience upon ideal objects, which his senses neither enable him to know nor to examine?
8909But, what is it that constitutes climate?
8909By what authority, then, do you object to my amassing treasure?
8909Can I alter the received opinions of the world?
8909Can any moral good spring from such blind assurance?
8909Can be, with his dim optics, with his limited vision, fathom the human heart?
8909Can he prevent his eyes, cast without design upon any object whatever, from giving him an idea of this object, from moving his brain?

8909Can man at last flatter himself with having arrived at a fixed being, or must the human species again change?

8909Do not thy vices every day dig thy grave?
8909Do they not assure me that zeal is pleasing to him; that sanguinary inhuman persecutors have been his friends?

8909Does disgrace hold him out to the finger of scorn; does indigence menace him in an obdurate world?
8909Does he not, in fact, circumscribe the attributes of the Deity, and deny his power, to suit his own purpose?
8909Does it not appear to annihilate the universe to him, and him to the universe?
8909Does it not furnish its disciples with the means of extricating themselves from the punishments with which it has so frequently menaced them?
8909Does not Mahometanism cut off from all chance of future existence, consequently from all hope of reaching heaven, the female part of mankind?
8909Does not all change around us?
8909Does not either his happiness or his misery depend on the part he plays?
8909Does not listlessness punish thee for thy satiated passions?
8909Does not that deprive him of every thing?
8909Dost thou not behold in those eccentric comets with which thine eyes are sometimes astonished, that the planets themselves are subject to death?
8909Dost thou not know the Sesostris''s, the Alexanders, the Caesars are dead?
8909Dost thou not linger out life in disgust, fatigued with thine own excesses?
8909Each idea is an effect, but however difficult it may be to recur to the cause, can we possibly suppose it is not ascribable to a cause?
8909Every time thou hast stained thyself with crime, hast thou dared without horror to return into thyself, to examine thine own conscience?
8909From whence came these elements?
8909From whence comes these opinions, which according to the theologians are so displeasing to God?
8909Has any or the whole of them rendered him better, more enlightened to his duties, more faithful in their performance?
8909Has he placed his happiness exclusively on some object which it is impossible for him to procure?
8909Has not thy vigour, thy gaiety, thy content, already yielded to feebleness, crouched under infirmities, given place to regret?
8909Has the human species existed from all eternity; or is it only an instantaneous production of Nature?
8909Hast thou not dreaded the scrutiny of thy fellow man?
8909Hast thou not found remorse, error, shame, established in thine heart?
8909Have I not seen my fellow- citizens envy them-- the nobles of my country sacrifice every thing to obtain them?
8909Have the Jews exalted no one to the celestial regions, save the virtuous?
8909Have there been always men like ourselves?
8909Have there been, in all times, males and females?
8909Have they led him to the least acquaintance with the great_ Cause of Causes?_ Alas!
8909Have they not remorse?
8909Have they not, then, a consciousness of their own iniquities?
8909He adds from himself,"who knows, if to live, be not to die; and if to die, be not to live?"
8909His ignorance, his prejudices, his imbecility, his vices, his passions, his weakness, are they not the inevitable consequence of vicious institutions?
8909His physical evils, are they violent?
8909How can a being without extent be moveable; how put matter in action?
8909How can a substance devoid of parts, correspond successively with different parts of space?
8909How can he judge whether there objects be favorable or prejudicial to him?
8909How can it cease to think?
8909How could man occupy himself with a perishable world, ready every moment to crumble into atoms?
8909How dream of rendering himself happy on earth, when it is only the porch to an eternal kingdom?
8909How is he to assure himself of the existence, how ascertain the qualities of beings he is not able to feel?
8909How much pain, how much anxiety, has he not endured in this perpetual conflict with himself?
8909How, if he does not reiterate this experience, can he compare it?
8909However this may be, the sensibility of the brain, and all its parts, is a fact: if it be asked, whence comes this property?
8909I agree to it without any difficulty: but in reply, I again ask, Is his nature susceptible of this modification?
8909If his senses are vitiated, how is it possible they can convey to him with precision, the sensations, the facts, with which they store his brain?
8909If however it be asked, what is a spirit?
8909If it be enquired how, or for why, matter exists?
8909If it be inquired, whence proceeds the motion that agitates matter?
8909If it was asserted,"All men naturally desire to be rich; therefore all men will one day be rich,"how many partizans would this doctrine find?
8909If our country is attacked, do we not voluntarily sacrifice our lives in its defence?
8909If the calendar of the Romish saints was examined, would it be found to contain none but righteous, none but good men?
8909If we can only form ideas of material substances, how can we suppose the cause of our ideas can possibly be immaterial?
8909If, again, it be asked, what origin we give to beings of the human species?
8909If, then, it be demanded, whence came man?
8909If, therefore, it be asked, whence came matter?
8909In a passage reported by Arrian, he says,"but where are you going?
8909In attributing to spirits the phenomena of Nature, as well as those of the human body, do we, in fact, do any thing more than reason like savages?
8909In fact, will not every thing conduct to indulgence the fatalist whom experience has convinced of the necessity of things?
8909In the country I inhabit, do I not see all my fellow- citizens covetous of riches?
8909In the puissant Nature that environs thee, shalt thou pretend to be the only being who is able to resist her power?
8909In thy actual being, art not thou submitted to continual alterations?
8909In what moment is he a free agent?
8909Indeed what is his soul, save the principle of sensibility?
8909Indeed, how can we flatter ourselves we shall ever be enabled to compass the true principle of that gravity by which a stone falls?
8909Indeed, what right have we to hate or despise man for his opinions?
8909Is death any thing more than a profound, a permanent steep?
8909Is erring, feeble man, with all his imbecilities, competent to form a judgment of the heavenly deserts of his fellows?
8909Is he master of feeling or not feeling pain?
8909Is he not obliged to play a part against his will?
8909Is he not sufficiently punished by the multitude of evils that afflict him on every side?
8909Is he the master of desiring or not desiring an object that appears desirable to him?
8909Is he the master of preventing the qualities which render an object desirable from residing in it?
8909Is he the master of willing, not to withdraw his hand from the fire when he fears it will be burnt?
8909Is it consistent with sound doctrine, with philosophy, or with reason?
8909Is it in his power to add to these consequences all the weight necessary to counterbalance his desire?
8909Is it not evident that the whole universe has not been, in its anterior eternal duration, rigorously the same that it now is?
8909Is it not this divine being who chooses and rejects?
8909Is it possible that evil can result to man from a correct understanding of the relations he has with other beings?
8909Is man more the master of his opinions?
8909Is not God the absolute master of their destiny?
8909Is not Mahomet himself enthroned in the empyrean by this superstition?
8909Is not Nature herself a vast machine, of which the human species is but a very feeble spring?
8909Is not audacious crime encouraged?
8909Is not compassion laughed to scorn?
8909Is not cunning vice rewarded?
8909Is not honesty contemned?
8909Is not its descent the necessary effect of its own specific gravity?
8909Is not love of the public weal taxed as folly; exactitude in fulfilling duties looked upon as a bubble?
8909Is not man brought into existence without his own knowledge?
8909Is not subtle intrigue eulogized?
8909Is not virtue discouraged?
8909Is their condition happy?
8909Is there any thing in the world that perishes totally?"
8909Is there one wicked individual who enjoys a pure, an unmixed, a real happiness?
8909Is this species without beginning?
8909Is virtue in this situation amongst men?
8909It may be asked of man, is he any thing more than matter combined, of which the former varies every instant?
8909It ought not to excite surprise if such a system is of no efficacy; what can reasonably be the result of such an hypothesis?
8909It will be asked, perhaps, by what road has man been conducted to form to himself these gratuitous ideas of another world?
8909Justice, does she hold her scales with a firm, with an even hand, between all the citizens of the state?
8909Let us see if it is a barren speculation, that his not any influence upon the felicity of the human race?
8909Might it not be a question to the Malebranchists, was it in the Divinity that SPINOZA beheld his system?
8909Mistaken the laws of Nature, did I say?
8909Nevertheless, how many persons say they are, and even believe themselves, restrained by the fears of the life to come?
8909On the other hand, does not superstition itself, does not even religion, annihilate the effects of those fears which it announces as salutary?
8909Or has he the power to take away from fire the property which makes him fear it?
8909Perfidious friends, do they forsake him in adversity?
8909Rebellious, ungrateful children, do they afflict his old age?
8909Religion, which alone pretends to regulate his manners, does it render him sociable-- does it make him pacific-- does it teach him to be humane?
8909Society, or those who represent it, do they use him with harshness, do they treat him with injustice, do they render his existence painful?
8909Suppose the argument retorted on them; would it be believed?
8909That those who do not think as I do are his enemies?
8909The arbiters, the sovereigns of society, are they faithful in recompensing, punctual in rewarding, those who have best served their country?
8909The examples spread before him, are they suitable to innocence and manners?
8909The laws, do they never support the strong against the weak-- favor the rich against the poor-- uphold the happy against the miserable?
8909The motion or impulse to action, of which he is susceptible, is that not physical?
8909The question then arises, how can we conceive such a substance, which is only the negation of every thing of which we have a knowledge?
8909The species itself, is it indestructible, or does it pass away like its individuals?
8909The_ choleric_ man vociferates,--You advise me to put a curb on my passions; to resist the desire of avenging myself: but can I conquer my nature?
8909Thou pretendest to exist for ever; whit thou, then, that for thee alone eternal Nature shall change her undeviating course?
8909Thus the organic structure once destroyed, can it be reasonably doubted the soul will be destroyed also?
8909Thus, when even the soul should be admitted to be immaterial, what conclusion must be drawn?
8909Thus, when it shall be inquired, what is man?
8909Was Constantine, was St. Cyril, was St. Athanasius, was St. Dominic, worthy beatification?
8909Was the animal anterior to the egg, or did the egg precede the animal?
8909Was there a first man, from whom all others are descended?
8909Were Jupiter, Thor, Mercury, Woden, and a thousand others, deserving of celestial diadems?
8909What absurdity then, or what want of just inference would there be, to imagine that the man, the horse, the fish, the bird, will be no more?
8909What are these, but notions which he must necessarily put aside, in order that human association may subsist?
8909What benefit could arise from education itself?
8909What did I say?
8909What did I say?
8909What do I say?
8909What do I say?
8909What does it present to the mind, but a substance which possesses nothing of which our senses enable us to have a knowledge?
8909What does the man in power, except shew to others, that he is in a state to supply the requisites to render them happy?
8909What harmony, what unison, then, can possibly exist between them, when they discourse with each other, upon objects only known to their imagination?
8909What is it that represents the word_ intelligence_, if he does not connect it with a certain mode of being and of acting?
8909What is it, to think, to enjoy, to suffer; is it not to feel?
8909What is life, except it be the assemblage of modifications, the congregation of motion, peculiar to an organized being?
8909What is the aim of man in the sphere he occupies?
8909What is the object that unites all these qualities?
8909What is the visible and known end of all their motion?
8909What is there that is terrible or grievous in that?
8909What it is that authorizes them to believe this sterility in Nature?
8909What moral reliance ought we to have on such people?
8909What motive, indeed, except it be this, remains for him in the greater part of human societies?
8909What the scale by which to measure who has the best regulated imagination?
8909What, then, must be the diversity of these ideas, if the objects meditated upon do not act upon the senses?
8909What, then, shall be, the common standard that shall decide which is the man that thinks with the greatest justice?
8909When Samson wished to be revenged on the Philistines, did he not consent to die with them as the only means?
8909When a theologian, obstinately bent on admitting into man two substances essentially different, is asked why he multiplies beings without necessity?
8909When the father either menaces his son with punishment, or promises him a reward, is he not convinced these things will act upon his will?
8909When to resolve these problems, man is obliged to have recourse to miracles or to make the Divinity interfere, does he not avow his own ignorance?
8909Where are now the priests of Apollo, of Juno, of the Sun, and a thousand others?
8909Wherefore is it not exacted that all men shall have the same features?
8909Will it also be without end?
8909Will the assertion be ventured, that the stone and earth do not act?
8909Will there always be such?
8909Will you have me renounce my happiness?
8909With respect to those who may ask why Nature does not produce new beings?
8909You call my pleasures disgraceful; but in the country in which I live, do I not witness the most dissipated men enjoying the most distinguished rank?
8909and what is its end?
8909but do I not also witness that they are little scrupulous in the means of obtaining wealth?
8909do not I see men making trophies of their debaucheries, boasting of their libertinism, rewarded, with applause?
8909does not every thing tell me, that in this world money is the greatest blessing; that it is amply sufficient to render me happy?
8909dost thou not see all the threads which enchain thee?
8909has he the power either to prevent it from presenting itself, or from renewing itself in his brain?
8909his experience will be true: are they unsound?
8909how prove its truth?
8909in punishing those who have pillaged, who have robbed, who have plundered, who have divided, who have ruined it?
8909that it is impossible, in its posterior eternal duration, it can be rigidly in the same state that it now is for a single instant?
8909we may enquire of them in turn, upon what foundation they suppose this fact?
8909what advantage will he discover in restraining the fury of his passions?
8909what right have you to prevent my using means, which although you call them sordid and criminal, I see approved by the sovereign?
8909wilt thou never conceive, that thou art but an ephemeron?
45041How is it now,he goes on to ask,"that this stamp, impression, image, or painting, in us, a mere mode of the mind, can recall the absent object?"
45041: the_ ideal_ element; the conception, not of the actual and the real, as in the case of the other faculties, but of the purely ideal?
45041A matter of_ intellect_, or of_ feeling_; a_ judgment_, or an_ emotion_?
45041ARE MOTIVES THE CAUSE, AND VOLITIONS THE EFFECT?
45041Am I shut up to the actual inclinations and choices of any given hour or moment?
45041Am I under the stern rule of inevitable necessity and fate to do as I do, to choose as I choose, to be inclined as I am inclined?
45041And if sense is not reliable in the first instance, why rely upon it in the second, to prove that it is not reliable?
45041And then, again, which is really the agreeable, and which is truly the right?
45041And what else can you mean by strongest motive?
45041Are the minds of all observers equally susceptible of impression from the beautiful?
45041Are the volitions of Deity, then,_ uncaused_?
45041Are there not relations of things to each other, and so relations of thought, which do not fall under any of the categories now named?
45041Are these correct inductions?
45041Are they caused or uncaused?
45041Are they the same thing, and if not, wherein do they differ?
45041Are they, in that case,_ supernatural_ events?
45041Are we to withhold or yield our assent?
45041Are we, in all cases to follow its decisions?
45041Augustine, Andrè, and others, ancient and modern, seek the hidden principle of beauty in the elements of_ order and proportion_?
45041But does not law_ presuppose_ the idea of right and wrong?
45041But does the word_ power_ properly include both?
45041But how are these things to be reconciled-- man''s entire freedom, God''s entire control and government of him?
45041But how shall this strength of will, so desirable, so essential to true greatness and nobleness of character, be attained?
45041But how, it may occur to some one to ask, happens such a habit to be formed in the first place?
45041But in what sense does the mind retain anything which has once occupied its thoughts?
45041But is it certain, or it is probable, that they are_ mere_ coincidences?
45041But is there a middle ground possible or conceivable?
45041But is this all he does?
45041But what could induce such a being to_ will_ or to_ act_?
45041But what did he mean by_ moral necessity_?
45041But what have they in common?
45041But whence comes, in the first instance, the concrete idea?
45041But why should such associations operate more powerfully upon the miser, than upon any other person?
45041Can any one show that this is impossible?
45041Can any thing be more absurd?
45041Do they not suggest and express to us ideas of grace, elegance, delicacy, and the like?
45041Do we first understand, and then will; or does something else intervene between the intellectual perception and the volition?
45041Do we not find ourselves attracted by, and, in a sort, in sympathy with these forms, as thus significant and expressive?
45041Does it any longer exist?
45041Does it belong to the rational or sensitive part of our nature: to the domain of intellect, or of feeling, or both?
45041Does it so imply and involve the exercise of reason, that it is not to be found except in connection with, and as the result of, that principle?
45041Does it, in a word, denote the_ intellectual_ rather than the_ emotional_ element of the process?
45041Does it, like the loss of voluntary power over the physical frame, result from the inactivity of the nervous apparatus?
45041Does not the very fact of a volition imply that we have already in mind the thing willed and wished for?
45041Does the fact that I am inclined, and strongly so, to a given choice, prevent me from putting forth that choice in the shape of executive volition?
45041Does the_ prevalent_ motive actually_ prevail_?
45041Does this ever occur?
45041Does vision alone give the idea that what we see is numerically distinct from ourselves, and that it occupies this or that particular locality?
45041Extension in what, motion in what?
45041Had we no other means of information, would sight alone give us this?
45041Has God made nothing, in so doing?
45041Has he conceived nothing,_ created_ nothing?
45041Has he then created nothing, conceived nothing?
45041Has it not a character_ sui generis_?
45041Has such an emotion, strictly speaking, any moral character?
45041Have I any power to change those affections and inclinations; or, they remaining as they are, have I any power to go contrary to them?
45041Have I then the power of attending to two things at once?
45041Have we any such power?
45041How are these conceptions formed?
45041How are we to prove that sense deceives us, except by arguments drawn from sense?
45041How can he do these things without seeing?
45041How come we by these notions?
45041How comes this word--_taste_--to be used, rather than any other, to denote the idea and power now under consideration?
45041How do I know that it exists?
45041How do I know_ now_ that the rose exists?
45041How do these emotions differ-- in degree merely-- or in nature?
45041How do we know that which is here affirmed?
45041How do we know, in fact, that there_ is_ any such external reality?
45041How else could we will to recall it?
45041How far are we responsible for its exercise?
45041How far is it to be trusted in its perceptions and decisions?
45041How happens the poor insect, just emerging from the egg, to find in himself all requisite appliances and instruments for capturing his prey?
45041How is it that events of former years come back to mind, with all the freshness and reality of passing scenes?
45041How is it that she performs actions requiring often a high degree of intelligence, and yet without apparent consciousness?
45041How is it that the somnambulist rises and moves about in a state of apparently sound sleep?
45041How is it, why is it, that we pronounce an act right or wrong, when once fairly apprehended?
45041How know we our senses to be reliable?
45041How so?
45041How, then, can it originate that on which itself depends, and which it presupposes?
45041How, then, is it known, that mind can not act without first acting in order to act?
45041I have forgotten, for instance, the name of a person: I seek to recall it; to recall what?
45041I think, I_ feel_, I will; is not that the order of the mental processes?
45041IS THE WILL ALWAYS AS THE GREATEST APPARENT GOOD?
45041IS THE WILL DETERMINED BY THE STRONGEST MOTIVE?
45041If all coin were counterfeit, how could we detect a counterfeit coin?
45041If caused, then by what?
45041If not free, then how am I responsible?
45041If not material, how can it represent matter, and how can the mind know that it does represent correctly the external object?
45041If not, if limits there are to this method of reasoning, what are they?
45041If not, then why may it not_ will_ without first_ willing_ to will?
45041If the former, then what is it in the object that constitutes its beauty?
45041If the latter, are they the result of education, or of legal restraint?
45041If the latter, how could a law which was neither just nor unjust, have suggested to the subjects of it any such ideas?
45041If the latter, then are we_ correct_ in attributing any such quality to the object?
45041If the perception of right and wrong is intuitive, how happens this diversity?
45041If the representative image be itself material, how can the mind take cognizance of it?
45041If there were no intelligent, observing mind, to behold and feel that beauty, would the object still be beautiful, even as now?
45041If this may happen in some cases, why not in others, or in all?
45041Indeed what is all science but the work of mind?
45041Is all knowledge only some form of judgment?
45041Is beauty something objective, or merely subjective and emotional?
45041Is it a difference in_ kind_, or only in_ degree_?
45041Is it a mere idea, a mere conception of the mind, or has it reality?
45041Is it also more beautiful?
45041Is it an act which the mind puts forth when it will, and withholds when it will?
45041Is it by vision that we learn primarily the distance of objects and their locality?
45041Is it certain that our experience, though it be uniform and unvaried, is the universal experience?
45041Is it correct procedure?
45041Is it matter of expediency and calculation, of policy and necessity, or of native instinct and implanted constitutional desire?
45041Is it more improbable than that the cases recorded are mere chance coincidences?
45041Is it not built on that idea as its basis?
45041Is it not equally mysterious that ideas which have formerly coëxisted should recall each other?
45041Is it not reasonable to suppose that the same may be true of man?
45041Is it owing to the pains taken to define the terms employed, and the strict adherence to those definitions?
45041Is it the chief thing?
45041Is it, in such a sense, peculiar to a rational and intelligent nature?
45041Is it, then, a safe guide?
45041Is it_ determined_ at all by_ any_ motive or by any thing?
45041Is it_ intuitive_?
45041Is not this state, or affection of the mind, as Dr. Brown calls it, quite a distinct thing from other mental states and affections?
45041Is taste a matter of feeling, or is it an intellectual discernment, or is it both?
45041Is the conclusion at which I thus arrive, involved in the premiss with which I start?
45041Is the novel the beautiful?
45041Is the will_ determined_ by that motive which prevails?
45041Is there in such a case a special act of volition and attention preceding each movement of the fingers as they glide over the keys?
45041Is this so?
45041Is this the case?
45041Is this the soul and spirit of his divine art?
45041Is, then, the human will free, in the sense now defined?
45041It is only a conception now, but who shall estimate the worth of that simple power of conception?
45041It reasons, judges, conceives, imagines; must it first reason, judge, etc.,_ in order_ to reason, and judge, and conceive, and imagine?
45041Not, I suspect, from any special change which the brain undergoes, for why should such changes affect_ this_ faculty more than any other?
45041Now, in what consists that power?
45041Of what use is a memory or a judgment, that sometimes errs?
45041Of what use to the beholder is the ruddy glow and flash of sunrise on the Alpine summits as seen from the Rhigi or Mount Blanc?
45041Of what use, in fact, is beauty in any case, other than as it may be the means of refining the taste, and elevating the mind?
45041Of what use, we reply, is_ any_ mental faculty, that is not absolutely and universally correct?
45041Or is it a mere passive susceptibility of the mind to be impressed in this particular way?
45041Or, who ever supposed that, of two motives, it was not the stronger but the weaker one that in a given case prevailed?
45041Ought we then to expect absolute uniformity of effect?
45041Shall we choose the agreeable?
45041Shall we choose the right?
45041Shall we conclude, because of this diversity, that these several faculties are not parts of our nature?
45041Shall we follow a guide thus liable to err?
45041Shall we suppose then so many thousand acts of attention and volition in a minute?
45041The mind thinks; must it first think, in order to think?
45041The question arose, for the instant, Shall I do it?
45041The question at once arises, is it right?
45041The question is, whether this alone would, in the first instance, give us such cognitions?
45041The question no longer is, Whence comes that swift ship, and whither goes it, but, What am I, and whither going; what my history, and my destiny?
45041The question still remains, however, in which of the several ways indicated, does this result take place?
45041The simple question is, Am I at liberty to follow it?
45041The very occurrence of a thing to be done, a possible thing, and of a motive for doing it, raises, of itself, the question, Shall it be done?
45041Under what circumstances is a given conception awakened in the mind by some preceding conception or perception?
45041Unquestionably he does derive immense advantages from it; but is that the reason he desires it?
45041Was it any thing more?
45041Was it merely an accidental thing-- a matter of chance-- that the dream should occur as it did, and should tally so closely with the facts?
45041Were there no_ feeling_ awakened by the intellectual perception, would there be any volition with regard to the object perceived?
45041What are order and proportion?
45041What are the limits, if limits there are, to this belief of the uniformity of nature, and to the reasoning based on that belief?
45041What but love could prompt to the many sacrifices and privations cheerfully endured for its welfare?
45041What but love could sustain the weary mother during the long and anxious nights of watching by the couch of her suffering child?
45041What constitutes a cause?
45041What do they express of the higher or spiritual element of being?
45041What does he need, the material universe remaining what it is?
45041What else are the little communities of the bee, and the ant, and the beaver, but so many busy cities, and states, of the insect and animal tribes?
45041What emotion does that object awaken in me?
45041What evidence have we that they do not habitually deceive us?
45041What evidence have we, in a word, of the existence of any thing beyond and without our own minds?
45041What have we found to be the process of the mind in volition?
45041What have we to do with them or they with us?
45041What have we, under all these manifestations, but the desire of superiority, and what is that but the desire of power in one of its most common forms?
45041What is it in the object, that constitutes its beauty?
45041What is it precisely that we hear?
45041What is it that I see in this case?
45041What is it that is beautiful?
45041What is it with the lower animals?
45041What is that but an instance under the law of similarity?
45041What is that but the operation of the law of contiguity in time?
45041What is that but the relation of cause to effect?
45041What is that certain peculiarity, or quality, of a certain class of objects, which constitutes what we call_ the ludicrous_, objectively considered?
45041What is the consequence?
45041What mean we by that word?
45041What now are my emotions?
45041What of yourself had you forgotten?
45041What passes now in my mind?
45041What produces it?
45041What standard have you for measuring motives and gauging their strength, except simply to judge of them by the_ effects_ they produce?
45041What then are the facts in the case, as given by consciousness, and observation?
45041What then is the fact?
45041What voucher have we for its correctness?
45041What, but the love of power, leads the warrior forth, at the head of conquering armies, to devastate and subdue new realms?
45041What, in fact, is the mind itself but cerebral activity, and what is man, with all his higher powers, but a mere animated organism?
45041What, then, is a faculty of the mind?
45041What, then, is the analogy?
45041What, then, is the simple idea of space?
45041What_ is_ this faculty as exercised; a judgment, a process of reasoning, or an emotion?
45041Whatever may be true of deduction, is not induction essentially a synthetic process?
45041When I experience an emotion of fear, of hope, of joy, or of sorrow, what is it that is joyful or sorrowful, hopeful or fearful?
45041When we first open our eyes on external objects, do we receive the idea of extension and figure, or only of color?
45041When we fix the eye upon any object, more or less remote, what is it, strictly speaking, that we see, extension and figure, or only color?
45041Whence come these first principles?
45041Whence comes the notion of a time, a space, a substance, a cause, a right or wrong act?
45041Whence comes the_ idea_ of right and wrong which lies at the foundation of every particular judgment as to the moral character of actions?
45041Whence did_ they_ derive them?
45041Where is it to be sought?
45041Whether this be stated before or after the conclusion is a mere matter of form; but what is our authority for stating such a proposition at all?
45041Which of these views, then, is the correct and true one?
45041Who shall solve this problem; who shall read me this strange inexplicable riddle of human life?
45041Who taught_ them_, and set_ them_ the example?
45041Why are we not_ all_ misers, if such associations are the true cause and explanation of avarice?
45041Why did I choose_ a_?
45041Will the name itself afford any solution of this problem?
45041Would not such an arrangement be of great service?
45041Would not this virtually shut out and extinguish all mental action?
45041_ A Dream, what._--What, then, is a_ dream_?

45041_ Not a mere Conception._--Is space, then, a mere conception of the mind, merely subjective?
45041_ Not derived from Sense._--But is not this principle of causality derived from experience?
45041_ Not necessary to suppose them Supernatural._--Shall we believe, then, that dreams are sometimes prophetic?
45041_ Not the first._--Is it the first?
45041_ Observation of an Act of Will._--What, then, are the essential phenomena of an act of the will?

45041_ The Question stated._--_Views of Locke and Dryden._--Under what circumstances, then, is the feeling of the ludicrous awakened?
45041_ The Question._--Which, then, of these elements is it that answers to the idea of taste, as used to denote a power of the mind?
45041_ The Term"strongest"as thus employed._--Much depends on what we mean by"strongest"in this connection, and what by the word"determined?"

45041_ To Perception._--In what respect does it differ from_ perception_?
45041_ Unjust to require what it is impossible to perform._--Have I power, in all cases, to do what the divine will requires; power to do_ right_?
45041_ What Evidence of Correctness._--How are we to know, then, whether conscience judges right?
45041_ What_ name?
45041_ Will it be put in Requisition?_--But will this power be ever exercised?
45041and the more beautiful it is, does it so much the more plainly and directly manifest this element?
45041g._, that all men are mortal?
45041is too often true, and what then becomes of my_ power_ to do right?
45041that, as we grow old, while perhaps other powers of the mind are still vigorous, the memory begins to lose its tenacity?
45041ye learned men, explain What essence, substance, what hypostasis In five poor letters is?
8910_ We may fairly inquire what is this Being? 8910 A theist, very estimable for his talents, asks,if there can be any other cause than an evil disposition, which can make men atheists?"
8910Above all, when there is a question of its own interests, does it not dispense with engagements, however solemn, made with those whom it condemns?
8910Again, is it an ascertained fact, does experience warrant the conclusion, that superstition has a useful influence over the morals of the people?
8910Again, upon what do they found the existence of these theories, by whose aid they pretend to solve all difficulties?
8910Again; do we not see that either enthusiasm or interest is the only standard of their decisions?
8910Are not the most horrid crimes perpetrated in all parts of the world?
8910Are not the sovereigns of almost every country in a continual state of warfare with their subjects?
8910Are not those dreamers, who are incapable of attaching any one positive idea to the causes of which they unceasingly speak, true deniers?
8910Are not those visionaries, who make a pure nothing the source of all beings, men really groping in the dark?
8910Are not those who have thus given loose to their imagination, who have given birth to this system, themselves men?
8910Are they agreed upon the conduct to be adopted; upon the manner of explaining their texts; upon the interpretation of the various oracles?
8910Are they also to be ascribed to the Divinity, because we do not refuse him qualities possessed by his creatures?
8910Are they ever contented with the proofs offered by their colleagues?
8910Are they in a condition to maturely weigh theories that require the utmost depth of thought?
8910Are they not delirious fanatics, on whom the law, dictated by the most inhuman prejudices, imposes the necessity of acting like ferocious brutes?
8910Are they not savage tyrants, who have the rank injustice to violate thought; who have the folly to believe they can enslave it?
8910Are they, in fact, in a condition to be charged with this knowledge?
8910Are we better acquainted with the cause of polar attraction?
8910Are we in a condition to explain the phenomena of light, electricity, elasticity?
8910Are, therefore, the philosophers atheists, because they do not reply, it is God who is the author of these effects?
8910As soon as they subscribe to a principle fatally opposed to reason, by what right do they dispute its consequences, however absurd they may be found?
8910Besides, wherefore should we leave it to the judgment of men, who are, themselves, only enabled to act after our manner?
8910But are not these gods the thing in question?
8910But does he not frequently offer up his thanksgivings for actions that overwhelm his neighbour with misery?
8910But does this afford us one single, correct idea of the_ Divinity_?
8910But is it possible to derogate from the necessary laws of existence?
8910But is not this wilful idleness?
8910But what is this grace?
8910But what is this man, who is so foully calumniated as an atheist?
8910But where are the people or the clergy who will allow, either that their Divinity is false, or their worship irrational?
8910But where is the necessity for mystery in points of such vast importance?
8910But wherefore, it might be inquired, should I take this system upon your authority?
8910But, seriously, does this prove that they do not deceive?
8910Can any thing be more rational than to probe to the core these astounding theories?
8910Can it make man either better or worse, that he should consider the whole that exists as material?
8910Can it really be that reason is dangerous?
8910Can men have stronger motives for the practise of virtue?
8910Can that which exists necessarily, act but according to the laws peculiar to itself?
8910Can they shew the test that will lead to an acquaintance with them?
8910Can we at all flatter ourselves that to please us, to gratify our discordant wishes, he will alter his immutable laws?
8910Can we conceive that immateriality could ever draw matter from its own source?
8910Can we imagine that at our entreaty he will take from the beings who surround us their essences, their properties, their various modes of action?
8910Can we, or can we not admit their argument to be conclusive, such as ought to be received by beings who think themselves sane?
8910Could I, by the aid of these senses, discover thy spiritual essence, of which no one could furnish me any idea?
8910Could atheists, however irrational they may be supposed, if assembled together in society, conduct themselves in a more criminal manner?
8910Could the great_ Cause of causes_ make the whole, without also making its part?
8910Did princes really become more powerful; were nations rendered more happy; did they grow more flourishing; did men become more rational?
8910Did the morals of the people improve under the pastoral care of these guides, who were so liberally rewarded?
8910Do not all your oracles breathe inconsistency?
8910Do they ever last longer than for the season of their convenience?
8910Do they unanimously subscribe to each other''s ideas?
8910Do we find substantive virtues adorn those who most abjectly submit themselves to all the follies of superstition?
8910Do we know why the magnet attracts iron?
8910Do we understand the mechanism by which that modification of our brain, which we tall volition, puts our arm or our legs into motion?
8910Does he, in fact, do more than collect together that which becomes, in consequence of its association, perfectly unintelligible?
8910Does it procure for its agents the marvellous faculty of having distinct ideas of beings composed of so many contradictory properties?
8910Does not the disproportion, of which they speak with such amazing confidence, attach to themselves as well as to others?
8910Does not their more sober judgment unceasingly condemn the extravagancies to which their undisciplined passions deliver them up?
8910Does not this somewhat remind us of what Rabelais describes as the employment of Queen Whim''s officers, in his fifth book and twenty- second chapter?
8910Does then theology impart to the mind the ineffable boon of enabling it to conceive that which no man is competent to understand?
8910Does, he, however, elucidate his embarrassments, by submitting her action to the agency of a being of which he makes himself the model?
8910Dost thou not behold ambition tormented day and night, with an ardour which nothing can extinguish?
8910Generally speaking, is there the least sincerity in the alliances which these rulers form among themselves?
8910Granted: but is he quite certain these oracles have emanated from themselves?
8910Granted: who has ever doubted it?
8910Has he laid down false principles?
8910Has it not in a great measure confounded the notions of virtue and vice, of justice and injustice?
8910Has it not legitimatized murder; given a system to perfidy; organized rebellion; made a virtue of regicide?
8910Has it not, in many instances, rendered the most essential duties of our nature problematical?
8910Has it not, on the contrary, had a tendency to obscure the wore certain science of morals?
8910Has not its altars been drenched with human gore?
8910Has the human understanding progressed a single step by the assistance of this metaphysical science?
8910Have I been able to render homage to the justice of thy priests, whilst I so frequently beheld crime triumphant, virtue in tears?
8910Have they flattered thee that thou art something supernatural?
8910Have they sufficiently reflected on the tendency of this mode of reasoning?
8910Have they then assured thee that thou art a god?
8910He gives it thought and intelligence, but how conceive these qualities without a subject to which they may adhere?
8910How are we to know that?
8910How can a corporeal being make an incorporeal being experience incommodious sensations?
8910How can he imitate that goodness, that justice, that mercy, which does not resemble either his own, or any thing he can conceive?
8910How can it even be conceived by mortals?
8910How can it give impulse to matter, how set it in motion?
8910How can the gross organs of the one, comprehend the subtile quality of the other?
8910How can these happy effects ever be expected from the polluted fountains of superstition, whose waters do nothing more than degrade mankind?
8910How can we acquire a knowledge of their will?
8910How could he perceive the beautiful order which they had introduced into the world, while he groaned under such a multitude of calamities?
8910How did he discover the end proposed by the Deity?
8910How do we understand this term?
8910How do you become acquainted with these impenetrable mysteries?
8910How doth it act upon man?
8910How follow a conduct suitable to please them-- to render himself acceptable in their sight?
8910How formidable a foe must not outraged reason be to falsehood?
8910How is he to judge now?
8910How make an immaterial being, who has neither organs, space, point, or contact, understand that modification of matter called voice?
8910How shall it be decided who is right, or who is wrong?
8910How shall we attribute anger to beings without either blood or bile?
8910How shall we know what is agreeable to a Divinity who is incomprehensible to all men?
8910How then am I to understand immaterial substance?
8910How then can he be induced to call men just who act after this manner?
8910How then does he measure out his ideas of justice?
8910How then is he to form his judgment of beings who are represented to possess both in the extremest degree?
8910How was he able to discern the beneficence of men whom he beheld sporting as it were with his species?
8910How will the metaphysicians draw themselves out of this perplexing intricacy?
8910However this may be, we must ever inquire, Why this should not be matter?
8910If after this it be asked, What is the end of nature?
8910If he asked, Wherefore his reason had then been given him, since he was not to use it in matters of such high behest?
8910If he does not equally partake of them with the other beings in nature?
8910If it be demanded, How can we figure to ourselves, that matter by its own peculiar energy can produce all the effects we witness?
8910If it be necessary to judge the opinions of mankind according to their conduct, which is the theory that would bear the scrutiny?
8910If the knowledge of these systems be the most necessary thing, wherefore are they not more evident, more consistent, more manifest?
8910If their gods are infinitely good, wherefore should we dread them?
8910If their grace works every thing in man, what reason can there be why he should be rewarded?
8910If then it be demanded, Wherefore she exists?
8910If there is, which are the spurious, which are the genuine?
8910If therefore we were to form our judgments after our own puny ideas of wisdom, what should we say?
8910If these beings are spirits that are immaterial, how can they be able to act like man, who is a corporeal being?
8910If these ways are impenetrable, by what means did he acquire his knowledge of them?
8910If they are immutable, by what right shall we pretend to make them change their decrees?
8910If they are inconceivable, wherefore should we occupy ourselves with them?
8910If they are infinitely wise, what reason have we to disturb ourselves with our condition?
8910If they are just, upon what foundation believe that they will punish those creatures whom they have filled with imbecility?
8910If they are lords of all, why make sacrifices to them; why bring them offerings of what already belongs to them?
8910If they are omnipotent, how can they be offended; how can we resist them?
8910If they are omnipresent, of what use can it be to erect temples to them?
8910If they are omniscient, wherefore inform them of our wants, why fatigue them with our requests?
8910If they are rational, how can the enrage themselves against blind mortals, to whom they have left the liberty of acting irrationally?
8910If they are so different in their detail, may there not be reasonable ground for suspecting some of them are not authentic?
8910If this argument was to be admitted, are they aware how far it, would carry them?
8910If this be admitted as a postulatum, are they prepared to follow it in all its extent?
8910If this substance be spiritual, that is, devoid of extent, how can there exist in it any parts?
8910If we grant his position, what is the result?
8910In fact, does not superstition sometimes inculcate perfidy; prescribe violation of plighted faith?
8910In reply it will be said, somewhat triumphantly, each man hath his ideas of the sun, do all these suns exist?
8910In short, has it not been the signal for the most dismal follies, the most wicked outrages, the most horrible massacres?
8910In the_ second_ place, which set of these oracular developements are we to adopt?
8910Indeed what has resulted from the confused alliance, from the marvellous speculations, which theology has made with the most substantive realities?
8910Indeed, do we not every day behold mortals in contradiction with themselves?
8910Indeed, what is virtue, in the eyes of the generality of theologians?
8910Ingenuously, is it possible for man to form any true notion of such a quality?
8910Is he matter and motion, or is he only space or the vacuum?
8910Is he willing, adopting their own hypothesis, that evil should be committed, or can he not prevent it?
8910Is his system fallacious?
8910Is it in the doctrines which these codes hold forth, that he is to seek for a model?
8910Is it independent of its own peculiar essence, or of those properties which constitute it such as it is?
8910Is it not a derogation from the severe rules of an exact, a rigorous justice, which causes a remission of some part of a merited punishment?
8910Is it not inconsistent with our nature?
8910Is it not just, he exclaims, to thank the Divinity for his kindness?
8910Is it not to ask him to alter the eternal decrees of his justice; to change the invariable laws which he hath himself determined?
8910Is it not, according to these definitions, that which can not couple together?
8910Is it not, in fact, announcing these beings to be men like ourselves, who act with our imperfections on an enlarged scale?
8910Is it not, in other words, to accuse him with neglecting his creatures?
8910Is it ridiculous?
8910Is it, then, delirium to prefer the known to the unknown?
8910Is not bread the result of the combination of flour, yeast and water?
8910Is not the virtuous man, from thence in a condition to ardently desire the existence of a system that remunerates the goodness of men?
8910Is not this formally asserting that nature herself is God?
8910Is not this, in fact, the duty we owe to the great, the universal Parent?
8910Is not vice frequently triumphant, and virtue compelled to seek her own reward in retirement?
8910Is there any one who has sufficient compass of comprehension to ascertain the advantages that result from the evils that besiege us on all sides?
8910Is there any thing imaginable wore wild and extravagant amongst those in bedlam than this would be?"
8910Is there then no remorse but for those who believe in incomprehensible systems?
8910Is this question answered by heaping together the estimable qualities of man?
8910Is what is termed Atheism, compatible with Morality?
8910Let us seriously ask him, if he does not witness good constantly blended with evil?
8910Must, then, the work be more perfect than the workman?
8910Of the motives which lead to what is falsely called Atheism.--Can this System be dangerous?--Can it be embraced by the Illiterate?
8910On the other hand, what could we expect from such a being, as they have supposed him to be?
8910On this again, there arises two almost insuperable difficulties, in the_ first_ place, who shall assure us of their actual mission?
8910Or is it a truth that you yourself are not a man, but one of those impenetrable beings whom you say you represent?
8910Ought we not rather to redouble our efforts to penetrate the cause of those phenomena which strike our mind?
8910Shall God, who made the eye, not himself see?
8910Shall it be interior or exterior to his production?
8910Suppose their argument granted, what is to be done with all those other qualities upon which man does not set so high a value?
8910The most rational people argue thus:"What shall I do?
8910The necessary Being of which question is here made, doth he find no obstacles to the execution of the projects which are attributed to him?
8910The next question would naturally be, When, where, or to whom have these oracles spoken?
8910There is nothing but superstitious follies that are pernicious to mortals; and wherefore?
8910This granted, I shall inquire if matter exists; if it does not at least occupy a portion of space?
8910This granted, are they nearer the point at which they labour?
8910Thus each man has his God: But do all these gods exist?
8910To what purpose do ye scatter thorns on the road of life?
8910To what purpose then is it they speak of these things to others?
8910Under such instructors what could become of youth?
8910Upon this principle, how many atheists ought there to be?
8910Upon what foundation do you attribute virtues which you can not penetrate?
8910Very good: Is it then actually in the system of fanatics, that man should draw up his ideas of virtue?
8910Was not Pandora''s box, though stuffed with evils, trifling when compared with this?
8910We agree to it without hesitation; but, ingenuously, are the letters which compose a poem thrown with the hand in the manner of dice?
8910We are ignorant of the mode in which even plants vegetate, how then be acquainted with that which has no affinity with ourselves?
8910What advantage, then, has resulted to the human race from those opinions, so universal, at the same time so barren?
8910What advantages can ye derive from systems with which the united efforts of the whole human species have not been competent to bring ye acquainted?
8910What are the relations that can be supposed to exist between such very dissimilar beings?
8910What avails it, that ye multiply those sorrows to which your destiny exposes ye?
8910What barrier could superstition, with its imaginary motives, oppose to the general corruption?
8910What conclusion, then, ought fairly, rationally, consistently, to be drawn from the whole?
8910What could we consistently ask of him?
8910What do I say?
8910What do I say?
8910What end, then, do oaths answer?
8910What exposition of morality does the theories, upon which ye found all the virtue, present to man?
8910What idea do we attach to mercy?
8910What idea do you form to yourself of a justice that never resembles that of man?
8910What idea, however, can be formed of a being who is resembled by nothing of which we have any knowledge?
8910What ideas must mortals, thus overwhelmed with terror, form to themselves of the irresistible cause that could produce such extended effects?
8910What interest can so many persons have to deceive?"
8910What is our sun compared to those myriads of suns which at immense distances occupy the regions of space?
8910What is the conduct of our adversaries?
8910What is the human race compared to the earth?
8910What is this earth compared to the sun?
8910What is this, then, but that which no man can explain or comprehend?
8910What is to be understood by either this virtue or this energy?
8910What morality is this, but that of men who offer themselves as living images, as animated representatives of the Divinity?
8910What motives can I have to submit my reason to thy delirium?
8910What must be the inference from all this?
8910What must have been the inquietude of a people taken thus unprovided, who fancied they saw nature cruelly labouring to their annihilation?
8910What results from all this to a rational man?
8910What standard is it necessary man should possess, to enable him to judge of these substances?
8910What then is its effect?
8910What was the fruit that kings and people gathered from their imprudent kindness?
8910What was the harvest these men yielded to their labour?
8910What was the result?
8910When we have given this answer, what have we said?
8910Where are these oracles?
8910Where can be the propriety of such an argument?
8910Where is the man filled with kindness, endowed with humanity, who does not desire with all his heart to render his fellow creatures happy?
8910Where then are the beneficial effects arising, to mankind from the promulgation of this doctrine?
8910Where, then, are the web who are convinced of the rectitude of these systems?
8910Wherefore annihilate to me a being, whose consoling idea dries up the source of my tears-- who serves to calm my sorrows?
8910Wherefore do ye not follow in peace, the simple, easy route marked out for ye by nature?
8910Wherefore quit nature, which had already explained to you so much?
8910Wherefore, then, do they not in all things conform themselves?
8910Who are those in whom we shall find the complete certitude of these truths, so important to all?
8910Who is he who would not be a plant or a stone, every time reminiscence forces upon his imagination the irreparable loss of a beloved object?
8910Who is the man, that understandeth any thing of the fundamental principles of these systems?
8910Who is to measure the precise quantity of misery required to derive a certain portion of good?
8910Who is to say when the measure of evil will be full which it is necessary to suffer?
8910Who rather will not confess that it presents a picture of human nature, where every heart may find some corresponding harmony?
8910Whose capacity embraces spirituality, immateriality, incorporeity, or the mysteries of which he is every day informed?
8910Why do they attempt descriptions of that which they allow to be indescribable?
8910Why, in point of fact, just what the man does, who, thinking he has had too much rain, implores fine weather?
8910Will Doctor Clarke permit us to put one simple question: If to be obligated to do a certain given thing, is to be free, what is it to be coerced?
8910Will it in any manner make him a worse subject to his sovereign; a worse father to his children; a more unkind husband; a more faithless friend?
8910Will it require any capacity, more than is the common lot of a child, to comprehend the absurd contradiction of the two assertions?
8910Will the assertion of either Clarke or Plato stand absolutely in place of all evidence?
8910Would not every rational man have a right to ask the priest, where is thy superiority in matters of reasoning?
8910Would they themselves permit such to be convincing if used against them?
8910Would this be a desirable state?

8910are we quite certain none of them may be mistaken?
8910how shall we be justified in giving credence to their powers?
8910of mixing up its evanescent conjectures with the confirmed aphorisms of time?
8910refuse to the Divinity, those qualities we discover in his creatures?
8910that their morals are as variable as their caprice?

13695And he''s quite young, too, scarcely thirty, do n''t you think?
13695And how old were you when you were married?
13695And there, quite near, what beautiful trees are those?
13695And what about Jeanne?
13695And what about Madame de Guiraud?
13695And what would you say if I asked you to let me stay here with you always?
13695And where''s Jeanne?
13695And why should they kiss one another?
13695And you had just arrived, had n''t you? 13695 Are n''t the gentlemen coming here to- night, madame?"
13695Are n''t you well, my darling?
13695Are there any roses?
13695Are these rooms yours?
13695Are we going to see her?
13695Are you all right, my darling?
13695Are you always sewing like this?
13695Are you better, Mother Fetu?
13695Are you by yourself, mamma?
13695Are you comfortable?
13695Are you feeling better, my darling?
13695Are you going out, mamma?
13695Are you happy, mother darling?
13695Are you ill? 13695 Are you not at home here?"
13695Are you not going to take anything?
13695Are you weeping?
13695At nighttime too?
13695But if mamma gave me leave, would you say yes, too?
13695But, indeed, have you behaved well? 13695 By the way,"broke in Madame Berthier, addressing Juliette,"did n''t Monsieur Malignon give you lessons in swimming?"
13695Can I not afford you some relief?
13695Can nothing be done?
13695Did n''t I tell you one night in your dining- room how to move your feet and hands about?
13695Did she go up?
13695Did she have convulsions when she was a baby?
13695Did you go to mass this morning?
13695Did you have any round dances?
13695Do I disturb you?
13695Do I disturb you?
13695Do n''t you love me any longer? 13695 Do you feel ill, Jeanne?"
13695Do you know of any members of your family that have suffered from nervous affections?
13695Do you know, mamma, it was an old fellow with a grey beard who made Punch move his arms and legs? 13695 Do you know,"said he,"I do not even know the color of your eyes?
13695Do you mean to say that I do n''t love you any more?
13695Do you see,she asked,"that lovely star yonder whose lustre is so exquisitely clear?"
13695Do you think she''ll have another fit?
13695Do you understand what you are talking about? 13695 Do you wish to tease me?"
13695Doctor Bodin has attended her, has he not? 13695 Even, too, when I tell you we are betrothed?
13695Has any one been to see you?
13695Have n''t you given her a light?
13695Have you any hot water?
13695Have you been good, my darling?
13695Have you been told about Madame de Chermette?
13695Have you finished?
13695Have you got some flowers?
13695Have you had many visitors to- day?
13695Have you not seen the garden yet?
13695He has a brother, has n''t he?
13695How can I make up my mind when I do n''t know?
13695How can you, a gentleman, show yourself in public with that actress Florence? 13695 How could I have come here?"
13695How is she now?
13695How old is the child?
13695I am here beside you, my darling; where do you feel the pain?
13695I have still something left-- may I give it to her?
13695I intended asking you,she said to her,"if it is n''t to- day that you mean to pay Madame de Chermette a visit?"
13695I myself went into the kitchen--However, she left her sentence unfinished:"No, no, I wo n''t tell; it is n''t right, is it, mamma?
13695I say, are you warm?
13695I say, my dear,whispered the girl,"wo n''t you have some more mutton?"
13695If not, can I remove the cloth?
13695In the papers, my dear?
13695Is Henri not at home?
13695Is Madame Deberle at home?
13695Is everything all right down there?
13695Is he ill too?
13695Is it a violent fever?
13695Is it over?
13695Is it the right leg you fell on? 13695 Is it understood that we can rely on you for to- morrow evening?"
13695Is it you?
13695Is n''t it horribly ugly?
13695Is she going to keep me waiting again?
13695Is she inside that thing?
13695Is that Rosalie''s brother, mamma?
13695Is the little one warmly covered?
13695Is there anything in the papers?
13695It''s nice, eh?
13695Jeanne gives you no further worry, does she?
13695Jeanne, what''s the matter?
13695Look, mamma, I look nice, do n''t I? 13695 Madame wants something?"
13695Madame,said Jeanne one evening,"why does n''t Lucien come to play with me?"
13695Mamma, is Italy far away?
13695Mamma, who''s that?
13695Mamma,asked Jeanne, one evening after considerable meditation,"why is it Rosalie''s cousin never kisses her?"
13695Must you be in by ten o''clock exactly?
13695Now, do you love me well?
13695Oh, by the way, will you be at that evening party? 13695 On the left, do you mean?
13695On the left, eh?
13695Pauline,hastily asked Madame Deberle, raising her voice,"did you not meet him with Florence?"
13695Perhaps the window might be shut? 13695 Really?
13695Really? 13695 Shall I break the shell for you?"
13695So ill, my darling?
13695Tell me, darling, what is the matter? 13695 The asters are out, are n''t they?"
13695The attack was quite over now? 13695 Then Madame de Blainville is no longer beloved by you?"
13695Then it''s a fable?
13695Then you are Zephyrin Lacour, are you not?
13695Then you will have to marry her when you leave the army?
13695There''s some one there, is n''t there, mamma?
13695Was it not you then who wrote to me?
13695Was your husband, as I''ve been told, nearly twice your age?
13695We''re going to see the doctor at once, are n''t we, mother darling?
13695Well, my darling, have you nothing to say to them?
13695Well, was the season a good one? 13695 Well,"said the doctor,"and how are you going to dress, Jeanne?"
13695Well?
13695Well?
13695Were you at the Vaudeville last night?
13695What are you about?
13695What are you saying, my child?
13695What are you talking about? 13695 What are you thinking of, mademoiselle?"
13695What do you mean, my friend?
13695What do you think?
13695What do you want to ask me?
13695What do you want, my child?
13695What do you want, my lad?
13695What do you want, you and your soldier?
13695What does that matter?
13695What have you done to him, Jeanne?
13695What have you done to it-- tell me? 13695 What is it you wish, my pet?
13695What is it?
13695What is this you''re talking of?
13695What was it, my pet?
13695What was it?
13695What''s all arranged?
13695What''s that? 13695 What, do n''t you see it?
13695What, is it you? 13695 What?
13695Where are you going?
13695Where did you buy that abominable pink stuff? 13695 Where have you been?
13695Where was it?
13695Where, where was it that they had agreed to meet?
13695Who can have opened this window?
13695Who can it be, mother darling?
13695Who is it? 13695 Who is there?"
13695Why did n''t you come yesterday?
13695Why did you ring so loudly? 13695 Why do n''t you play the part instead of me?
13695Why do you ask me that?
13695Why do you remain there? 13695 Why do you think so?"
13695Why do you weep, my daughter?
13695Why has n''t your mother taken you with her?
13695Why should it be?
13695Why, madame, does n''t mademoiselle go down to the garden?
13695Why, what is the matter, my child?
13695Why, what time is it?
13695Why? 13695 Why?"
13695Will you let me go to bed? 13695 Will you take a cup of tea?"
13695Wo n''t mademoiselle have any jam?
13695Wo n''t you take anything?
13695Would it give you any pleasure to go away there?
13695Would you like me to tell him everything? 13695 Would you like to play at_ pigeon vole_?"
13695Yes; and am I to be forgotten?
13695You consider her very ill, do you not?
13695You have been seen with a lady--"What lady?
13695You have some one in view, have you not?
13695You have still five years to serve, have n''t you?
13695You know nothing, then?
13695You know nothing? 13695 You left Beauce a week ago?"
13695You mean this little saloon of yours? 13695 You now know that I am there-- don''t you?
13695You think so, do you?
13695You think, perhaps, that I shall deceive her?
13695You were not at the first night at the Vaudeville yesterday, madame?
13695You will come to- morrow, of course; and try to come earlier, wo n''t you?
13695You wo n''t be angry, mamma? 13695 You''re not ill, Jeanne, are you?"
13695You''re surely not quarrelling to- night?
13695Your father was hoping for Pauline''s sake-- He has n''t declared his intentions then?
13695Your mamma?
13695A cake?
13695And Helene, what ought she to do now?
13695And as she remained dazed, without answering, he asked:"Do you suffer?"
13695And did she go out the evening before that and the previous day?
13695And shall we object, because a few pages of"A Love Episode"are devoted to descriptions of Paris?
13695And then she asked:"But where is our dear old friend?"
13695And what could that district be at sight of which she always felt frightened, convinced as she was that people fought one another there?
13695And whom, pray?"
13695And with her coaxing air she added:"You will have to cure me, wo n''t you, sir, to make mamma happy?
13695And your children, madame?
13695Are n''t we all at home here?
13695Are n''t you ashamed?
13695Are n''t you getting warm?"
13695Are you going to get married?"
13695Are you hungry?"
13695Are you in pain?
13695Are you pleased?"
13695Are you sure?"
13695Are you talking about Italy?
13695As Lucien was passing them, his mother arranged a loose curl of his powdered hair, while he stood on tip- toe to whisper in her ear:"Where''s Jeanne?"
13695As she spoke, however, she grasped the child''s hand and detained her by her side, then asking in changed tones:"The other lady is ill, is she not?"
13695At a venture she inquired:"Who will play the part of Chavigny?"
13695At tea nobody ought to put the cakes in their pockets, ought they?"
13695Besides, who had seen him?
13695Besides, why should I deem myself stronger than I am?
13695But amidst all these gallant doings of his, he could not quit one idea, and that was-- why had they decided on closing the shutters?
13695But how?
13695But tell me: should I have a white gown and flowers?
13695But what is Juliette dreaming about?
13695But while I was dancing with Lucien the pin ran into him, and he asked me:''What have you got in front of you that pricks me so?''
13695But you''ll stay now?
13695But, mamma dear, I may talk, may n''t I?"
13695Can not you stand upright?"
13695Could Juliette have turned a willing ear to the amorous chatter of the young fop?
13695Could she have displayed the callous composure of this woman, who, three hours before her first assignation, was rehearsing a comedy in her own home?
13695Could she have done so, however, without the most intense emotion?
13695Could the memory of those weeks of anguish fade from Helene''s soul?
13695Did Jeanne wish to go away?
13695Did he also make visits to which he never referred?
13695Did he no longer care for her, that he remained so indifferent to her presence?
13695Did her looks, then, reveal her secret?
13695Did n''t I come back from Trouville on the 10th of September?
13695Did n''t you hear me before?
13695Did n''t you say you had an idea of going to Italy?
13695Did they not well know what might have been said?
13695Did you feel cold?
13695Do n''t you hear?
13695Do n''t you know us?"
13695Do n''t you like what you have there?"
13695Do those beautiful apples come from your garden, madame?"
13695Do you feel ill?"
13695Do you hear, mother darling?
13695Do you know, they were hunting for you everywhere?
13695Do you see that dark gentleman down there, near the door?
13695Do you take the''''bus''?"
13695Do you think so?"
13695Do you think yourself a child, you great stupid?
13695Do you want any more?"
13695During a silence she asked the old woman carelessly:"Have you known the doctor a long time?"
13695Eh?
13695Eh?
13695Eh?"
13695Even amongst such seemingly estimable and honest people as these could there be women of irregular conduct?
13695Excepting that, is everything all right?"
13695For a moment he lingered before her erect, then, shrugging his shoulders, said:"What''s the good, since you decline?"
13695Good Lord, how is it possible to suffer so much?
13695Had an hour really gone by since she had fled from the ball- room?
13695Had madame paid them a visit yet?
13695Had she lived through a year of madness, then?
13695Had she not loved her husband, whom she had tended like a child?
13695Had the Abbe, then, read her heart?
13695Has she hurt herself?"
13695Has the dear good doctor gone?
13695Have I vexed you then?
13695Have I wept?
13695Have you brought me any oranges?"
13695Have you known him long?
13695Have you some honey?
13695He approached still nearer, and gently resumed:"I do not wish to cross- question you, but why do you not confide in me?
13695He has a wife, has n''t he?
13695He lift me up and asked me:''Where is your mamma?
13695He paused, realizing that he was warming up, and asked hesitatingly:"But perhaps she has told you all this?"
13695He turned towards her with the question:"By the way, what have you got for us to- day?
13695He''s coming here to- day, is he not?"
13695He, Henri, dared not go up; for what would he say should Rosalie open the door?
13695Her heart filled, she put aside her bowl, and gazing on her mother''s pale face, threw herself on her neck:"Mamma, are you ill now?
13695His lips could only give utterance to the wretched question:"Then you think I ought to go away as well?"
13695How are you, madame?
13695How had she been able to drag on that cold, dreary existence, of which she was formerly so proud?
13695How is it that a big girl like you can not remain two minutes seated?
13695How stupid of him, was n''t it?
13695I suppose you are not sorry?"
13695I was asleep, was n''t I?
13695I wrote to you: did my letters reach you?
13695I''ll run and make some for you; would you like it?
13695In her first rapture the sight of Juliette even flooded her with tenderness; for was not Juliette one of Henri''s belongings?
13695Is it I whom you are angry with?
13695Is it finer than this?"
13695Is she beyond hope?"
13695Is she enjoying herself?"
13695Is that the way to kiss young ladies?
13695Is that understood?"
13695It will be soon, soon-- you promise me, wo n''t you?"
13695It will be soon, wo n''t it?"
13695It''s splendid, is n''t it?"
13695Jeanne crept up to her with a coaxing air:"Then you''re not going to the doctor''s, mother darling?"
13695Juliette''s face assumed a serious look, and, crossing her arms, she exclaimed:"Well, and what will you do with the balance of power in Europe?"
13695Mademoiselle, how much is this bonnet?
13695May I take a little of it?"
13695Might her mother not rather be in one of that cluster of houses on the hill to the left?
13695Now, you''ll be here at two o''clock, wo n''t you?
13695Of course, we''ll keep beside each other, eh?"
13695Of how many reformed lives has it been the mainspring?
13695Oh, my friend, how can you advise me thus?
13695On his self- possession returning, he inquired:"Wo n''t you take off your cloak?"
13695One morning she asked her mother:"To- day is Sunday, is n''t it?"
13695Only eighteen sous for two; it is n''t dear, is it?"
13695Otherwise, what could she have been doing there?
13695Pauline had taken Jeanne''s hand, and, walking away in front with the child, began to question her:"Have you ever been to the theatre?"
13695Perhaps Monsieur Rambaud had stayed to dine?
13695Perhaps she was right in thinking that madame had been travelling?
13695Perhaps the fresh air would revive her?
13695Poor puss, you''ve been very ill, have you not?
13695Quite sure?"
13695Repressing a gesture of impatience, Helene, as was her wo nt every morning, inquired:"Are you washed?"
13695Shall I call?"
13695She glanced at the clock--twenty minutes to nine; what was she to do?
13695She had done those things?
13695She had not had another, had she?"
13695She nestled her cheek against her mother''s shoulder, kissed her neck, and finally, with a quiver, whispered in her ear:"Mamma, would he kiss you?"
13695She stooped down and kissed Jeanne again; then suddenly becoming serious, she asked:"Am I browned by the sun?"
13695She would again ask Helene the old question--"Are you happy, mother darling?"
13695Should it not be so?"
13695So you let him leave before you, eh?"
13695Speak to me: do you feel a pain anywhere?"
13695Surely I brought you a cup of coffee?"
13695Surely you have n''t been ill, have you?"
13695That afternoon, after a lengthy silence, the child asked the question which she had already put to her mother:"Is Italy far away?"
13695That will be pleasant, wo n''t it?"
13695The doctor drew near; as he selected a cigar he asked her:"Is Jeanne well?"
13695The youngest of the Levasseur girls, who was two years old, shrieked out all at once:"Mamma, mamma, will they put him on bread and water?"
13695Their talk continued, but at last the doctor exclaimed in a tone of surprise:"Where on earth can Mother Fetu have gone?
13695Then Jeanne murmured:"But why does he love other people so?
13695Then amidst tears she whispered to him:"Do you remember what you asked me one night?"
13695Then as she became silent, the priest, with the wonted freedom of the confessor, mechanically asked the question:"The name?
13695Then he appeared to be on the point of leaving her, but turned round, and suddenly asked:"So you are going to get married?"
13695Then in a low whisper he asked her:"You''re pleased, are n''t you, to go to Italy?"
13695Then she turned to Helene with the question:"Was it you who let him come in?"
13695Then, as the old woman retired backwards, with profuse curtseying and thanks, she asked her:"At what hour are you alone?"
13695Then, did not everything exculpate her?
13695To console her, her mother kissed her, but she still gazed round the room:"Where is he?"
13695To how many confessions, to how many suicides has it led?
13695Was he not a treasure- trove of a father for Jeanne?
13695Was it a fact, he wanted to know, that it was impossible to move when one was dead?"
13695Was it possible, she thought, that she could no longer find the right thing to say?
13695Was it possible?
13695Was it possible?
13695Was it your idea to fascinate your washerwoman?"
13695Was not that intense love which had pervaded her life till now sufficient for her wants?
13695Was she a coward, then?
13695Was she not free?
13695Was she suffering?
13695Was that sigh the exhalation of Jeanne''s last breath, or did it mark her return to life?
13695Was their meeting to be postponed till another day, then?
13695Was this indeed her room, this dreary, lifeless nook, devoid of air?
13695We would play together, would n''t we?
13695Well, I''m nursing myself a bit now; and when a person has passed through so much, is n''t it fair she should do so?
13695Well, Lucien, why do n''t you say good- day?"
13695Well, since you mistrust the priest, why should you refuse to confide in the friend?"
13695Well, then, a glass of Chartreuse?"
13695Were they not bad- mannered, mamma dear?"
13695What are you doing here?
13695What are you talking of, child?"
13695What are you troubled about?"
13695What can I beg Heaven to grant you?
13695What concern is it of yours?"
13695What could she do whilst waiting for the night?
13695What could she say in answer?
13695What could that gloomy edifice be?
13695What could this new complaint be which filled her with mingled shame and bitter pleasure?
13695What do you put in it?"
13695What do you say?
13695What had been her life for nearly two years?
13695What harm would it do you?
13695What have I done to you?"
13695What have you been about?"
13695What hour might it be now?
13695What need had she of knowing Henri well?
13695What was it that had happened?
13695What was she to do?
13695What was that street along which something of enormous bulk seemed to be running?
13695What was the good of referring to that?
13695What was the matter with his poor darling?
13695What was the reason that had prevented her mother from taking her with her?
13695What was their reason for seeking a share in her happiness?
13695What world could they abide in to be able to set at naught that which caused her so much agony?
13695What would you have me do with it?
13695What''s wrong with you?
13695What, then, did that book mean when it spoke of transcendent loves which illumine one''s existence?
13695Whence had he come?
13695Whence had he sprung to lay her life desolate in this fashion?
13695Where did you get this jam, madame?
13695Where had she been?
13695Where was the pain?
13695Where, where could it be?
13695Why did n''t Madame Grandjean take her daughter there?
13695Why did n''t Noemi follow out her actions to their logical conclusion?
13695Why did these words ring in Helene''s ears with such sweetness as the darkness of the fog gave way to light?
13695Why do you ask me such a question?"
13695Why do you hesitate?"
13695Why do you refuse happiness?"
13695Why do you wish to know?"
13695Why had he come up?
13695Why had she been struck?
13695Why had she been unwilling?
13695Why had she not asked for the doctor?
13695Why not on another?
13695Why on earth had that lady been so foolish as to jump down?
13695Why on me?
13695Why should I feel unhappy?"
13695Why should she ever rap at the kitchen door again?
13695Why should she feel astonished or disquieted?
13695Why should she grudge herself happiness any longer?
13695Why should she have any care for the happiness of others, when they had no care for her and did not suffer as she did?
13695Why should she have waited for him?
13695Why was her laughter thus abruptly turned to sulkiness?
13695Why was it?
13695Why was she here, with eyes ever fixed on the hands of that dial?
13695Why, do n''t you believe me, mamma dear?"
13695Why, when her illness had been put to flight, did the ill- natured child work her utmost to torment her?
13695Why, whenever I please, wo n''t you always be there to do as I tell you?"
13695Will ethical teachers say that there is no salutary moral lesson in this vivid picture?
13695Will the church be as beautiful as it was in the Month of Mary?"
13695Will there be as many flowers, and will there be such sweet chants?
13695Will you let me kiss you?"
13695With a pretty gesture, she brought her face close to her mother''s lips, and, without pausing, whispered the question:"Do you love me?"
13695Wo n''t it be for Lucien to receive his little guests?
13695Wo n''t you let me be as I am?
13695Wo n''t you say that it will be soon?
13695Wo n''t you, sir?"
13695Would she have some of the cooling drink she had liked the other day?
13695You do n''t know how to make a horse, do you?"
13695You have seen her daughter, so womanish and tall, though she is only fifteen, have n''t you?
13695You remember that delightful soliloquy when she addresses the purse--''Poor little thing, I kissed you a moment ago''?
13695You will keep my place for me, wo n''t you?"
13695You''re not hurt, madame, are you?
13695You''re not pained any longer, are you?"
13695a soldier?"
13695are n''t you going to kiss her?"
13695are you happy?
13695are you having syrup?"
13695asked she:"are you fighting with the furniture?"
13695but oh, the scene is a long one, is n''t it?
13695could all those things be true?
13695did that sum up everything?
13695do you want anything?"
13695exclaimed Juliette;"what are they dreaming about?
13695has it parted?"
13695have I despaired?
13695have you enough?
13695have you had nothing?
13695have you not guessed?"
13695he replied,"near another smaller, greenish one?
13695how had he crept into her intimacy?
13695is it you?"
13695is my wife not with you?"
13695is n''t it?
13695is n''t that so?
13695mamma, you know what you promised me, do n''t you?"
13695not my china figure?"
13695or nearer in, beneath those huge trees, whose bare branches seemed as dead as firewood?
13695really?"
13695said she:"What is that glass building which glitters there?
13695she asked, as she lifted up the lamp;"it''s very nice, is n''t it?"
13695she would exclaim,"you are getting bored, are n''t you?
13695stammered the young woman;"my husband!--why-- for what reason?"
13695tell me his name?"
13695they are grey-- grey, tinged with blue, are they not?"
13695was she hiding some quickening of the old pain?
13695what ails you?
13695what are you doing here?
13695what do you think of yesterday at the Vaudeville?"
13695what had she been about?
13695what have I done now?
13695what manner of man was he that she had yielded to him-- she who would rather have perished than yield to another?
13695what of yesterday at the Vaudeville?"
13695what was to be done with her?
13695where are you?"
13695where do you feel the pain?
13695where is your mamma?''
13695who is it?"
13695who is it?"
13695why did I go to bed when she was so ill?"
13695wo n''t you have me beside you?"
13695you are surprised?
13695you ca n''t drink this?"
13695you did n''t tell me?
13695you think you''ll nip me again, do you?
13695you''ve allowed some one to come in?
