2398And Amile also, as if in sleep, heard those words; and he awoke and said, Who is it, my comrade, that hath spoken with thee? 2398 Again, was it in four years and by renewed labour never really completed, or in four months and as by stroke of magic, that the image was projected? 2398 And he lay down over them and began to weep bitterly and said, Hath any man yet heard of a father who of his own will slew his children? 2398 And what does the spirit need in the face of modern life? 2398 But why should sculpture thus limit itself to pure form? 2398 But, after all, it may be asked, is a painter like Botticelli-- a secondary painter-- a proper subject for general criticism? 2398 By means of what strange affinities had the person and the dream grown up thus apart, and yet so closely together? 2398 Can art represent men and women in these bewildering toils so as to give the spirit at least an equivalent for the sense of freedom? 2398 Can we bring down that ideal into the gaudy, perplexed light of modern life? 2398 Does it give me pleasure? 2398 How could such an one ever again endure the greyness of the ideal or spiritual world? 2398 How is my nature modified by its presence, and under its influence? 2398 How may we see in them all that is to be seen in them by the finest senses? 2398 How was Greece enabled to force its thought upon Europe? 2398 I m Ganzen, Guten, Wahren, resolut zu leben-- is Goethe''s description of his own higher life; and what is meant by life in the whole-- im Ganzen? 2398 Is that culture a lost art? 2398 Shall I not keep faith with him who was faithful to me even unto death? 2398 The question he asks is always:--In whom did the stir, the genius, the sentiment of the period find itself? 2398 Under what conditions was that effected? 2398 What effect does it really produce on me? 2398 What is the precise value of this system of sculpture, this low relief? 2398 What is the whole physical life in that moment but a combination of natural elements to which science gives their names? 2398 What is this song or picture, this engaging personality presented in life or in a book, to ME? 2398 What should we have thought of the vertiginous prophetess at the very centre of Greek religion? 2398 What was the relationship of a living Florentine to this creature of his thought? 2398 What were the conditions under which this ideal, this standard of artistic orthodoxy, was generated? 2398 Who, if he saw through all, would fret against the chain of circumstance which endows one at the end with those great experiences? 2398 With the sensuous element in Greek art he deals in the pagan manner; and what is implied in that? 2398 and if so, what sort or degree of pleasure? 2398 where was the receptacle of its refinement, its elevation, its taste? 50577 ***** But where, meanwhile, was the army of the League? 50577 Another is, what if the Pope should escape from the castle by aid of the enemy? 50577 Are not his stanzas a solace to the jaded pilgrim, who sings them to alleviate the irksomeness of his hot and weary way? 50577 Do you not hear them chanted all day long in the highways and the fields? 50577 From a picture in the Albani Palace in Rome 88? 50577 In the third place, should it come to an assault and the Pontiff unluckily fall? 50577 In what was Donatello poorer than Michelangelo or Niccolò Pisano than either? 50577 Is it not so?] 50577 Monsieur di Borbone accordingly decided on approaching the walls, and on Sunday morning the 5th we made a lodgment within[ beyond?] 50577 Rome, Kestner Museum; another female portrait:_ Ibit ad geminos lucida fama pollo_(?). 50577 That others than myself I must deplore? 50577 Then, rushing to his father, he exclaimed,''So you are come to kill me?'' 50577 Upon what laws of nature are regulated the gradations of aerial perspective, or the receding or flattened surfaces of basso- relievo? 50577 What are the truths of nature? 50577 What means of expression did Dante lack that Milton enjoyed, or Sophocles? 50577 What, indeed, is art but a tissue of conventionalities, even when the imitation of external objects is its aim? 50577 Whence then this difference? 50577 Who would assert that the truncheons confided to him by the Church, Venice, and Florence, were not of silver? 50577 Ye fabled joys, ye tales of empty love, What are ye now, if twofold death be nigh? 50577 [ Footnote* 156: How could Italy have a ballad poetry full of national sentiment before she became a nation? 50577 [ Footnote* 201: Yes? 50577 [ Footnote* 227: No? 50577 [ Illustration:_ Alinari_? 50577 and is my store Of griefs become so scanty, that my own Are not enough to moan? 50577 and may not the moral paralysis which impeded effective tactics in the army be fairly adduced in mitigation of their unauthorised furloughs? 50577 and why should jewels and embroidery, that seem beautiful in Crivelli''s saints or Dello''s pageants, be vulgar gewgaws on recent canvasses? 50577 married? 50577 my Lord is ill, and am I not to see him?
36245Est- ce là défense et illustration,he exclaims,"ou plus tost offense et dénigration?"
36245Take an actual history,says Scaliger;"how does Lucan differ, for example, from Livy?
36245[ 142] But what, according to Castelvetro, are the conditions of stage representation? 36245 [ 227] That is, how does a poem differ from a well- written historical narrative, if the former be without organic unity?
36245[ 61] Poetry, then, is an ideal representation of life; but should it be still further limited, and made an imitation of only human life? 36245 After all, since it is the public who pays for these stupidities, why should we not serve what it wants? 36245 But after all, what is_ extra rem_? 36245 But how out of purpose, and place, do I name art? 36245 But how should he be that just imitator of life, whilst he himself knows not its measures, nor how to guide himself by judgment and understanding? 36245 But if poetry is a matter of inspiration, how can it be called an art? 36245 But what is the origin of the two other unities,--the unities of time and place? 36245 But what produces laughter? 36245 But who can doubt it? 36245 Et voir à nos misteres Les Payens asservis sous les loix salutaires De nos Saints et Martyrs? 36245 First, what is the meaning of imitation? 36245 How did the classic spirit arise? 36245 How then are the true poets to be known? 36245 If genius alone suffices, what need is there of study and artifice? 36245 Now, in what way can we discover exactly how to imitate nature, and perceive whether or not we have imitated it correctly? 36245 Now, what constitutes a serious action, and what actions are not suited to the dignified character of tragedy? 36245 The imitation of the classics having thus become essential to literary creation, what was to be its relation to the imitation of nature? 36245 The question as Giraldi had stated it was this: Does every poem need to have unity? 36245 The question as discussed in the Tasso controversy had changed to this form: What is unity? 36245 The question at issue, as we have seen, is that of unity; that is, does the heroic poem need unity? 36245 To whom then are the rules of Aristotle useful? 36245 What is the aim of the poet? 36245 What more can the poet desire, and indeed what more can he find in life, and find there with the same certainty and accuracy? 36245 What was the origin of the principles and precepts of neo- classicism? 36245 What, then, is the function of the poet? 36245 Whence did it come, and how did it develop? 36245 [ 184] Why should tragedy be limited as to time, and not epic poetry? 36245 [ 476] Where shall you find in life such a friend as Pylades, such a hero as Orlando, such an excellent man as Æneas? 36245 and what in life is the subject- matter of this imitation? 36245 but, How are the poets to be used? 36245 et du vieux testament Voir une tragedie extraite proprement? 36245 quel plaisir seroit- ce à cette heure de voir Nos poëtes Chrestiens, les façons recevoir Du tragique ancien? 31303 ''And how dost thou know me?''
31303''And what are these?'' 31303 ''Then tell me why,''said the man,''you yourself are weeping with such grief?
31303''What dost thou here?'' 31303 ''What is that to you?''
31303And what attitude, what gesture, can he expect from this stripped and artificially draped model?
31303But had these Germans of the days of Luther really no thought beyond their own times and their own country?
31303Could it be otherwise?
31303Does the art of Italy tell an impossible, universal lie?
31303Had they not discovered that what had been called right had often been unnatural, and what had been called wrong often natural?
31303Had they really no knowledge of the antique?
31303He might as well ask, Why did the commonwealths not turn into a modern monarchy?
31303If Cæsar Borgia be free to practise his archery upon hares and deer, why should he not practise it upon these prisoners?
31303If he had for his mistress every woman he might single out from among his captives, why not his sister?
31303If he have the force to carry out a plan, why should a man stand in his way?
31303Is he to forget the saints and Christ, and give himself over to Satan and to Antiquity?
31303Is he to yield or to resist?
31303Is it a thing so utterly dead as to be fit only for the scalpel and the microscope?
31303Is the impression received by the Elizabethan playwrights a correct impression?
31303Is the new century to find the antique still dead and the modern still mediæval?
31303Is this really a bacchanal?
31303Scientifically we doubtless lose; but is the past to be treated only scientifically?
31303Sismondi asks indignantly, Why did the Italians not form a federation as soon as the strangers appeared?
31303Such are the parents, Faustus and Helena; we know them; but who is this son Euphorion?
31303Was Italy in the sixteenth century that land of horrors?
31303Was the relation between them that of tuition, cool and abstract; or of fruitful love; or of deluding and damning example?
31303What has become of Calypso''s island?
31303What passes in the mind of that artist?
31303What surprise, what dawning doubts, what sickening fears, what longings and what remorse are not the fruit of this sight of Antiquity?
31303What tragic type can this evil Italy of Renaissance give to the world?
31303What was that strong intellectual food which revived the energies and enriched the blood of the Barbarians of the sixteenth century?
31303What were those intellectual riches of the Renaissance?
31303What would have been the art of the Renaissance without the antique?
31303What would the noble knights and ladies of Ariosto and Spenser think of them?
31303What would they say, these romantic, dainty creatures, were they to meet Nausicaa with the washed linen piled on her waggon?
31303Whence do they come?
31303Where in this Renaissance of Italian literature, so cheerful and light of conscience, is the foul and savage Renaissance of English tragedy?
31303Who can prevent him?
31303Who will blame him?
31303Why?
31303and can it not give us, and do we not owe it, something more than a mere understanding of why and how?
31303cried the man;''it is for a stinking hound that you waste the tears of your body?
31303of the orchards of Alcinous?
31303or is the art of England the victim of an impossible, universal hallucination?
31304But where is the use of telling us all this?
31304("Io servo vostra moglie, Don Eugenio favorisce la mia; che male c''e?"
31304A no place, nowhere; yet full of details; minute inventories of the splendid furniture of castles( castles where?
31304All his humanities, all his Provençal lore go into these poems-- written for whom?
31304And what are those things?
31304Are not these mediæval poets leagued together in a huge conspiracy to deceive us?
31304But could such love as this exist, could it be genuine?
31304But how achieved?
31304But is it right that we should feel thus?
31304But is it right thus to pardon, redeem, and sanctify; thus to bring the inferior on to the level of the superior?
31304Can there be love between man and wife?
31304Equality?
31304Fools, can you tell what did or did not take place in a poet''s mind?
31304For her?
31304For is he not the very incarnation of chivalry, of beauty, and of love?
31304Has such a thing really existed?
31304In short, is not this"Vita Nuova"a mere false ideal, one of those works of art which, because they are beautiful, get worshipped as holy?
31304Is it Christian, Pagan, Mohammedan?
31304Is this not vitiating our feelings, blunting our desire for the better, our repugnance for the worse?
31304It is, in its very intensity, a vision of love; what if it be a vision merely conceived and never realized?
31304Now, how does Fra Angelico represent this?
31304Roncisvalle, Charlemagne, the paladins, paganism, Christendom-- what of them?
31304Shall we say that it is sentiment?
31304Stone of the Caaba or chalice of the Sacrament?
31304The great question is, How did these men of the Renaissance make their dead people look beautiful?
31304The ideal, perhaps, of only one moment, scarcely of a whole civilization; or rather( how express my feeling?)
31304The songs of the troubadours and minnesingers, what are they to our feelings?
31304Where is Godfrey, or Francis, or Dominick?
31304Where the moral struggles of the Middle Ages?
31304Why so?
31304Why this vagueness, this imperfection in all mediæval representations of life?
31304how reached?
41924What, then, do you propose?
41924''If we are not ourselves pious,''said Julius II.,''why should we prevent other people from being so?''
41924''Who in Florence would have thought that a poor bell- ringer of a priest would be made Pope, to the confusion of the proud?''
41924''Who,''he exclaims,''will discover a cure for the ignorance and vile sloth of these copyists, who spoil everything and turn it to nonsense?
41924An tu illam unquam duxisses uxorem si virginitatem per te servare potuisset?
41924Are not our minds permeated with their thoughts?
41924But how was this effected?
41924Do not the masterpieces of modern literature hold in solution the best that can be got from them for future uses?
41924Had she become, he asks, a star in heaven, and did the blessed gods and heroines enjoy her splendour?

27766My wife?
27766Nay, how could that be possible? 27766 O Uncle, will you?
27766Of warning?
27766On whose authority do you presume to do a thing so outrageous?
27766Paulette, is it you?
27766Radicofani, is this indeed the rogue who slipped from your clutches?
27766She has the eyes?
27766Since I am to bring away the casket,I replied,"for what purpose do you send this key?
27766Tell me, my niece, have we in all Italy a poet who can voice such a theme?
27766The Earl of Essex?
27766The Grand Duke has commanded this,Brandilancia asked,"through the intervention of my faithful friend the Earl of Essex?"
27766Then it is the Signorina who has effected my deliverance?
27766Then you do not care to keep my first gift?
27766Then you know not that my uncle has sent Radicofani to take you to Florence?
27766Think you, the Duke would trust your promise? 27766 What answer you to this accusation, Richard?"
27766What can have angered her? 27766 What expedient do you suggest Leonora?"
27766What if Radicofani spoke the truth?
27766What is your present position?
27766What loss of time is this?
27766What manner of man was this Ferdinando de''Medici who had converted his garden pleasance into a museum?
27766What method were fairer, I ask you?
27766What were you about to say?
27766Who can have incited Camillo to such a resolution?
27766Who is it,she asked drily,"who has the honour of being the embodiment of the Earl of Essex''s ideal of womanly perfection?"
27766Who is there?
27766Why did you not shoot me when I was at the lower turn of the road, my friend?
27766Why should I put myself under his orders?
27766Would I we d such a King whom I had learned to love, though in disguise? 27766 Would he so yield me, think you?"
27766Would you like to rule, little princess?
27766You can not bear this disappointment, say you, Ricciardo? 27766 You have brought me a message from your commander?"
27766You have known it all along?
27766You remember the eyeless basilisk which we found near Imola?
27766You were right, you see, quite right, all is lost-- why do you not say''I told you so''?
27766You would not then have disclaimed sending the message implied by the flowers which I attached to his mahl stick?
27766You, sir?
27766Your gift? 27766 *** And who shall say that Tasso did not make good the promise of his patroness? 27766 An she will_ not_, what would your servility gain? 27766 And what pray you would the Signora Imperia say to that?
27766And with but so little more of endowment I might have done it, for after all is not the inner ear, the second sight, the major part of genius?
27766Are you not ashamed, I insist, to accept all this and then to treat your affianced husband with such indignity?
27766As for my loving brother- in- law, your noble husband----""Why should you mind Camillo''s sulks since I do not?
27766But do you not see, Celio, that he must not be implicated in our plots?
27766But how should he cross to this doorway?
27766But marked you those of her sisters?
27766But why may I not do this under my own name, as your authorised messenger?"
27766But, look you, what use have I for such useless ornaments as your waxy- pale lilies, your flaunting and fragile roses?
27766Can such a summons be disregarded?
27766Can you resist my lord?"
27766Can you summon him to me, and will he come instantly?"
27766Caught A Paphian dove upon a message sent?
27766Did you note that startled cry?
27766Do you believe this villa when''twas new Was half so beautiful as now it seems?
27766Do you realise that you are in a very serious position?"
27766Ere that happened footsteps were heard and the voice of the Princess calling,"Joachim, where are you?"
27766Hast thou sinned in aught Offensive to the heavenly powers?
27766Have we missed each other?"
27766Have you written other books as entertaining?"
27766How could he when he had only his beautiful but soulless wife Chiara Fancelli to paint from?''
27766How long must he retain this cramped position?
27766I gained his victories and I commanded the_ escadron sacrée_ which protected his person in the retreat, and what is my reward?"
27766I wonder now if you have heard of a secret organisation called the Carbonari?
27766If I can wait, can not you?
27766If she believed him erring was the high- spirited wife capable of forgiveness?
27766Ill favoured I?
27766Is he as valiant in arms as he is lovable, as fortunate as he is deserving?"
27766Is it possible that she suspects that her reign is over?"
27766Is it, perchance, that Monna Afra may retain for herself any of the contents of the_ coffre_?"
27766Is not Pompeo Colonna a cardinal?
27766Is there a possibility of your true love failing, if so be he but enter the contest?"
27766Is there any power that can divide us?"
27766It was good?
27766King Louis had indeed explained it to him before sending him to Aldobrandino, and Richard had demanded carelessly:"Of what sort is the maiden?"
27766May I read the letter?
27766Now confess, can anything be fairer?
27766Oh, Celio, was there ever such magnanimity?"
27766Oh, why did God give her the form of an angel and put my soul in the body of a demon?"
27766Once for all I ask, will you accept my offer?"
27766Only the musical plash of the fountains and the sonorous undertone of the organ, like the distant roar of surf upon the beach?
27766Ought he to make a sudden rush for life and liberty?
27766Said I not rightly a peach- blossom?
27766Say what thou seest below the ages stream, Tell us, is life''s enigma known to thee?
27766Shall I confess to thee my secret thoughts?
27766Shall I show your worship to your own room, or will you await the ladies in the library?"
27766She is near- sighted; have you not noted, as she looks from her window of the Belvedere how she scans the objects in the garden through its lenses?"
27766Signorina how can I ever thank you?
27766Then the King asked Sancie loudly:"Are you content to give your hand to the winner of this contest?"
27766Then you are not Essex?"
27766Thy doubtful bow against some deer herd bent Sacred to Dian?
27766To curry favour with Cardinal de''Medici?"
27766Was it Radicofani?
27766Was it a comedy, or am I in earnest?
27766Was there nothing which he held sacred, no terror in earth or hell which could daunt his inexorable will?
27766Was there, I questioned, no motive within the complicated mechanism of Cesare''s mind upon which I could play?
27766Were workmen preparing to wall up the exit?
27766What a pillow was that for a bridegroom, eh, Ricciardo?"
27766What am I that I should hold you thus when you stand in danger of your life?"
27766What business could she have there at such an hour?
27766What can you do?"
27766What do you say, Leonora, shall we confess that we have made a mistake and return?"
27766What else could you expect of such a woman?
27766What fruit bear they, I ask?
27766What have I to offer him?
27766What need of lights?
27766What news do you bring from the Grand Duke, Captain?
27766What other signification could be placed upon this supposititious drama which they were to evolve together?
27766What think you was Ariosto''s meed for dedicating to his patron the_ Orlando Furioso_?
27766What was the boon which gave Tasso so much bliss?
27766Which shall it be?"
27766Who could the lady be?
27766Who in our day can interpret the poetry which I feel here but can not express?
27766Who knows when Napoleon will think of us?
27766Why did the Princess''s colour come and go as she listened, her cheek much too near his passionate lips?
27766Why do you hesitate?
27766Why need I tell you all?
27766Why not in it making all better and happier?''
27766Why not, since my ambitions are for you as well as for myself?
27766Why should you not succeed?
27766Will he soon return to us?"
27766Will it please you to join her train as Manager of her Royal Theatre and Purveyor of Sports to the French Court?
27766Would he be left here until starvation released him from agony and his bones bleached in the sun?
27766Would you be capable of the devotion which you demand of him?"
27766Would you give yourself to the_ man_ you loved knowing that he was not of royal birth?"
27766Would you we d this true lover, not knowing that he was a King?
27766You must fly, but how?
27766You refuse my peace- offerings; you will not visit us?"
27766You would like more?
27766Your eyes are better than mine, is it she?"
27766_ May_ I then keep it?"
27766and how can you get it to me?"
27766dearest lady, can you think of no way of persuading the Signor Ippolito to renounce his suit?"
27766he cried,"have you come to gloat over and increase my agony?"
27766she cried,"then you are not-- not Henry of Navarre?"
27766well- a- day Why should our young Endymion pine away?''"
27766what is fame, what is honour,"he cried,"to love like yours?
27766whither is it flown, For which in secret every heart repines?
