1636 | How could there have been so much cultivation, so much diligence in writing, and so little mind or real creative power? |
1636 | Is he serious, again, in regarding love as''a madness''? |
1636 | Is not all literature passing into criticism, just as Athenian literature in the age of Plato was degenerating into sophistry and rhetoric? |
1636 | Is not legislation too a sort of literary effort, and might not statesmanship be described as the''art of enchanting''the house? |
1636 | Is not pleading''an art of speaking unconnected with the truth''? |
1636 | Is not the discourse excellent, more especially in the matter of the language? |
1636 | Is there any principle in them? |
1636 | Lysias then, I suppose, was in the town? |
1636 | May I reckon the wise to be the wealthy, and may I have such a quantity of gold as a temperate man and he only can bear and carry.--Anything more? |
1636 | Might he not argue,''that a rational being should not follow the dictates of passion in the most important act of his or her life''? |
1636 | Might he not ask, whether we''care more for the truth of religion, or for the speaker and the country from which the truth comes''? |
1636 | Nor, until they adopt our method of reading and writing, can we admit that they write by rules of art? |
1636 | Now I have no leisure for such enquiries; shall I tell you why? |
1636 | Now in what way is the lover to be distinguished from the non- lover? |
1636 | Now what is that sort of thing but a regular piece of authorship? |
1636 | Now, Socrates, what do you think? |
1636 | Of the world which is beyond the heavens, who can tell? |
1636 | Or is he serious in holding that each soul bears the character of a god? |
1636 | Or is this merely assigned to them by way of parallelism with men? |
1636 | Or that Isocrates himself is the enemy of Plato and his school? |
1636 | Or, again, in his absurd derivation of mantike and oionistike and imeros( compare Cratylus)? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: About what conclusion? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: And is this the exact spot? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: And what are these arguments, Socrates? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: Do you see the tallest plane- tree in the distance? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: Had not Protagoras something of the same sort? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: How do you mean? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: How so? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: How so? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: How so? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: I have never noticed it; but I beseech you to tell me, Socrates, do you believe this tale? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: I think that I understand you; but will you explain yourself? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: In what direction then? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: In what way? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: Isocrates the fair:--What message will you send to him, and how shall we describe him? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: Need we? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: Not yet, Socrates; not until the heat of the day has passed; do you not see that the hour is almost noon? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: Show what? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: Then why are you still at your tricks? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: There is a great deal surely to be found in books of rhetoric? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What are they? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What do you mean, my good Socrates? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What do you mean? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What do you mean? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What error? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What gifts do you mean? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What is our method? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What is the other principle, Socrates? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What is there remarkable in the epitaph? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What name would you assign to them? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What of that? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What shall we say to him? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What would you prophesy? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: What? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: Who are they, and where did you hear anything better than this? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: Whom do you mean, and what is his origin? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: Will you go on? |
1636 | PHAEDRUS: You mean the living word of knowledge which has a soul, and of which the written word is properly no more than an image? |
1636 | SOCRATES: About the just and unjust-- that is the matter in dispute? |
1636 | SOCRATES: And can we suppose that he who knows the just and good and honourable has less understanding, than the husbandman, about his own seeds? |
1636 | SOCRATES: And do you think that you can know the nature of the soul intelligently without knowing the nature of the whole? |
1636 | SOCRATES: And how did he entertain you? |
1636 | SOCRATES: And when he speaks in the assembly, he will make the same things seem good to the city at one time, and at another time the reverse of good? |
1636 | SOCRATES: And when men are deceived and their notions are at variance with realities, it is clear that the error slips in through resemblances? |
1636 | SOCRATES: And will not Sophocles say to the display of the would- be tragedian, that this is not tragedy but the preliminaries of tragedy? |
1636 | SOCRATES: And will you go on with the narration? |
1636 | SOCRATES: And you will be less likely to be discovered in passing by degrees into the other extreme than when you go all at once? |
1636 | SOCRATES: But when any one speaks of justice and goodness we part company and are at odds with one another and with ourselves? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Can this be said of the discourse of Lysias? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Do you know how you can speak or act about rhetoric in a manner which will be acceptable to God? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Do you mean that I am not in earnest? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Does not your simplicity observe that I have got out of dithyrambics into heroics, when only uttering a censure on the lover? |
1636 | SOCRATES: He, then, who would deceive others, and not be deceived, must exactly know the real likenesses and differences of things? |
1636 | SOCRATES: I have now said all that I have to say of the art of rhetoric: have you anything to add? |
1636 | SOCRATES: In good speaking should not the mind of the speaker know the truth of the matter about which he is going to speak? |
1636 | SOCRATES: In which are we more likely to be deceived, and in which has rhetoric the greater power? |
1636 | SOCRATES: It was foolish, I say,--to a certain extent, impious; can anything be more dreadful? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Let me put the matter thus: When will there be more chance of deception-- when the difference is large or small? |
1636 | SOCRATES: May not''the wolf,''as the proverb says,''claim a hearing''? |
1636 | SOCRATES: My dear Phaedrus, whence come you, and whither are you going? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Now to which class does love belong-- to the debatable or to the undisputed class? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Shall I tell you what I will do? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Shall we discuss the rules of writing and speech as we were proposing? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Should we not offer up a prayer first of all to the local deities? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Then as to the other topics-- are they not thrown down anyhow? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Then do you think that any one of this class, however ill- disposed, would reproach Lysias with being an author? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Then in some things we agree, but not in others? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Well, and is not Eros the son of Aphrodite, and a god? |
1636 | SOCRATES: What do you mean? |
1636 | SOCRATES: When any one speaks of iron and silver, is not the same thing present in the minds of all? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Who is he? |
1636 | SOCRATES: Why, do you not know that when a politician writes, he begins with the names of his approvers? |
1636 | Shall we say a word to him or not? |
1636 | Socrates as yet does not know himself; and why should he care to know about unearthly monsters? |
1636 | Then again in the noble art of politics, who thinks of first principles and of true ideas? |
1636 | These are the commonplaces of the subject which must come in( for what else is there to be said?) |
1636 | Was he equally serious in the rest? |
1636 | We may raise the same question in another form: Is marriage preferable with or without love? |
1636 | Well, the teacher will say, is this, Phaedrus and Socrates, your account of the so- called art of rhetoric, or am I to look for another? |
1636 | What would Socrates think of our newspapers, of our theology? |
1636 | What would he have said of the discovery of Christian doctrines in these old Greek legends? |
1636 | What would he say of the Church, which we praise in like manner,''meaning ourselves,''without regard to history or experience? |
1636 | What would they say if they saw that we, like the many, are not conversing, but slumbering at mid- day, lulled by their voices, too indolent to think? |
1636 | While acknowledging that such interpretations are''very nice,''would he not have remarked that they are found in all sacred literatures? |
1636 | Who would imagine that Lysias, who is here assailed by Socrates, is the son of his old friend Cephalus? |
1636 | Who would suspect that the wise Critias, the virtuous Charmides, had ended their lives among the thirty tyrants? |
1636 | Who, for example, could speak on this thesis of yours without praising the discretion of the non- lover and blaming the indiscretion of the lover? |
1636 | Why did history degenerate into fable? |
1636 | Why did poetry droop and languish? |
1636 | Why did the physical sciences never arrive at any true knowledge or make any real progress? |
1636 | Why did words lose their power of expression? |
1636 | Why do I say so? |
1636 | Why do you not proceed? |
1636 | Why should the next topic follow next in order, or any other topic? |
1636 | Why were ages of external greatness and magnificence attended by all the signs of decay in the human mind which are possible? |
1636 | Will he not choose a beloved who is delicate rather than sturdy and strong? |
1636 | Would he not have asked of us, or rather is he not asking of us, Whether we have ceased to prefer appearances to reality? |
1636 | Would they not have a right to laugh at us? |
1636 | Yes; but is not even a ridiculous friend better than a cunning enemy? |
1636 | and are they both equally self- moving and constructed on the same threefold principle? |
1636 | and will not Acumenus say the same of medicine to the would- be physician? |
1636 | or, whether the''select wise''are not''the many''after all? |
17470 | ''But,''it is sometimes urged,''why not leave this new study of English to the younger Universities now being set up all over the country?'' |
17470 | ''English Art?'' |
17470 | ''Have you ever,''writes Pliny to his friend Romanus-- Have you ever seen the source of the Clitumnus? |
17470 | ''That Style in writing is much the same thing as good manners in other human intercourse?'' |
17470 | ''The Section or Sections( if any)''--But, how, if they are not any, could they be indicated by a mark however convenient? |
17470 | ''Untrue,''you say? |
17470 | ''What am_ I_ doing? |
17470 | ''What are these things we call good and evil, life, love, death?'' |
17470 | ''What is his purpose? |
17470 | ''_ Granted the rhythmical antithesis, where is the real antithesis, the difference, the improvement? |
17470 | ( always in the sense, unsuspected by Cicero, of''What is the profit?'') |
17470 | -- And wilt thou leave me thus? |
17470 | --For what purpose does the poet wish for a thousand tongues, but to sing? |
17470 | --how shall we answer the divine men? |
17470 | All this of which I am speaking is Art: and Literature being an Art, do you not see how personal a thing it is-- how it can not escape being personal? |
17470 | And then he proceeds to preach the Old Masters.--But how?--why?--to what end? |
17470 | And when you point with pride to Milton''s and those other mulberry trees in your Academe, bethink you''What poets are they shading to- day? |
17470 | And will anyone in this room tell me that what Reynolds said of painting is not to- day, for us, applicable to writing? |
17470 | And will you refuse a hearing when I claim that the Roman came in too? |
17470 | And wilt thou leave me thus? |
17470 | And, in fine, what is it all about? |
17470 | Another of my questions was about the so- called spurious books; had he written them or not? |
17470 | Art thou rich, yet is thy mind perplex''d? |
17470 | Brother mine, art a- waking or a- sleeping: Mind''st thou the merry moon a many summers fled? |
17470 | But beauty vanishes, beauty passes, However rare, rare it be; And when I crumble who shall remember That lady of the West Country? |
17470 | But if you had to_ make_ a beetle, as men are making poetry, how much would classification help? |
17470 | But may I urge-- and remember please that my credit is pledged to_ you_ now-- may I urge that this is not a wholly convincing answer? |
17470 | But now suppose that, having practised it, our candidate was able to speak like this:--''But what( says the Financier) is peace to us without money? |
17470 | But what of that? |
17470 | But what were they playing at? |
17470 | But where has he helped us to write with beauty, with charm, with distinction? |
17470 | But why do you practise it in your Essays? |
17470 | But why, like Dogberry, have''had losses''? |
17470 | But you are shy of such heights? |
17470 | But you will ask,''_ Why_ should verse and prose employ diction so different? |
17470 | Can he, indeed?... |
17470 | Can ye say nay But that you said That I alway Should be obeyed? |
17470 | Can you-- can anyone-- compare the two passages and miss to see that they belong to two different kingdoms of poetry? |
17470 | Can_ you,_ sir? |
17470 | Canst drink the waters of the crystal spring? |
17470 | Carlyle, in his explosive way, once demanded of his countrymen,''Shakespeare or India? |
17470 | Deeth, where is thy stynge? |
17470 | Do n''t you admire that?"'' |
17470 | Do you remember that tessellated pavement with its emblems and images of the younger gods? |
17470 | Do you wonder? |
17470 | Does he recite lists of names, dates, with formulae concerning styles? |
17470 | Does he recommend his old masters for copying, then?--for mere imitation? |
17470 | Does it not follow that by drilling ourselves to write perspicuously we train our minds to clarify their thought? |
17470 | Does it not follow, then, that the more accurately we use words the closer definition we shall give to our thoughts? |
17470 | Does the difference, then, perchance lie in ourselves? |
17470 | Dost thou laugh to see how fools are vex''d To add to golden numbers golden numbers? |
17470 | Eh? |
17470 | Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other-- or Our dignity? |
17470 | For to turn so oft; To bring that lowest that was most aloft: And to fall highest, yet to light soft? |
17470 | Give thanks to whom? |
17470 | Has a Minister to say''No''in the House of Commons? |
17470 | Has it not hitherto been true in the Colonies? |
17470 | Have you begun to detect the two main vices of Jargon? |
17470 | He lives, and why? |
17470 | He visited the bountiful, everlasting source, and of what did he sing? |
17470 | Hell, where is thy victory? |
17470 | How does it begin? |
17470 | I know not to what wiseacre we owe that pronouncement: but what do you think of it, after the lyric I have just quoted? |
17470 | I thanked him, but could not forbear asking''Why do they keep this gate closed?'' |
17470 | If a battle there must be, how is burning better than garments rolled in blood? |
17470 | If not exceptional, monstrous, why should this particular slaughter have lingered so ineffaceably in their memories? |
17470 | If you had to surrender one to retain the other, which would you choose?'' |
17470 | If you need further argument( but what serves it to slay the slain?) |
17470 | Instances? |
17470 | Is Walt Whitman a poet? |
17470 | Is it consonant with the high dignity of science to make her talk like a cheap showman advertising a''picture- drome''? |
17470 | Is it not true in Ireland? |
17470 | Is it possible? |
17470 | Is it unfair to instance Marlowe, who died young? |
17470 | It dallies with Latinity--''sub silentio,''''de die in diem,''''cui bono?'' |
17470 | It is called Logos; what does Logos mean? |
17470 | It means both at once: why? |
17470 | Let us take this admired passage from his"Duchess of Malfy":--_ Ferdinand._ How doth our sister Duchess bear herself In her imprisonment? |
17470 | May I follow up this experience of his with one of my own, as a preface or brief apology for this lecture? |
17470 | May we collect and send you notices of it appearing in the World''s Press? |
17470 | Might it, indeed? |
17470 | Mind''st thou the green and the dancing and the leaping? |
17470 | Mind''st thou the haycocks and the moon above them creeping?... |
17470 | No: I have yet to mention the straightest, most natural of them all, and will read it to you in full-- What should I say? |
17470 | No? |
17470 | Now gin a body meet a body for our protection and in this gallant spirit, need a body reward him with this hybrid label? |
17470 | Now hear how the lyric treats it, in these lines of Dekker-- Art thou poor, yet hast thou golden slumbers? |
17470 | O Death, where is thy sting? |
17470 | O death, where is thy sting? |
17470 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
17470 | O grave, where is thy victory?] |
17470 | Or are their leaves but feeding worms to spin gowns to drape Doctors of Letters?'' |
17470 | Or are you, perhaps, overawed by the printed book? |
17470 | Or what of Physiology? |
17470 | Or who shall determine its range, whether of thought or of music? |
17470 | Perhaps they can pay you the silent compliment of supposing that you are perfectly acquainted with it?... |
17470 | Praise whom? |
17470 | Should I be led With doubleness? |
17470 | Since Faith is dead And Truth away From you is fled? |
17470 | So I revert to the larger question,''What is Style? |
17470 | So why not say''I was careless if I won or lost,''and have done with it? |
17470 | Specially might I speak to you of the music of its monosyllables--''"What sawest you there?" |
17470 | Suppose, sir, that you wish to become a journalist? |
17470 | Surely either one of these should be mentioned before rapidity, in itself not comparable as a virtue with either?'' |
17470 | Surely no Cambridge man would willingly be a sloven in speech, oral or written? |
17470 | Swim''st thou in wealth, yet sink''st in thine own tears? |
17470 | Take the lines_ Is it possible?_-- Is it possible? |
17470 | That is plainly said, I hope? |
17470 | That is positive enough, I hope? |
17470 | The same to you?'' |
17470 | The unpleasant aspect? |
17470 | Then for what, in fine, will he have them studied? |
17470 | Then if we insist on this way with the tongues of Homer and Virgil, why do we avoid it with the tongue of Shakespeare, our own living tongue? |
17470 | They filled his literature: for why? |
17470 | To_ whom_ did our Greek train all his members to render adoration? |
17470 | Was not this love indeed? |
17470 | Well, and why not? |
17470 | Well, and why not? |
17470 | What am I urging? |
17470 | What are the great poetical names of the last hundred years or so? |
17470 | What are they? |
17470 | What became of it all?--of that easy colonial life, of the men and women who trod those tessellated pavements? |
17470 | What do I argue from this? |
17470 | What follows, but that in speaking or writing we have an obligation to put ourselves into the hearer''s or reader''s place? |
17470 | What has happened? |
17470 | What is your will about these matters?'' |
17470 | What its[ Greek: to ti en einai], its essence, the law of its being?'' |
17470 | What materialises? |
17470 | What of Electricity, for example? |
17470 | What? |
17470 | What_ is_ an international character, and what would you give for one? |
17470 | Where would Latin literature be, for example, if you could cut Venus out of it? |
17470 | Who made them?'' |
17470 | Who, at any rate, does not seek after Persuasion? |
17470 | Why are_ we_ mortal? |
17470 | Why do_ I_ love_ thee_?'' |
17470 | Why should men start upon the more difficult form and proceed to the easier? |
17470 | Why should you presume that in any country a body duly constituted for any function will neglect to perform its duty and abdicate its trust? |
17470 | Why? |
17470 | Will you not agree with me that here is no writing, here is no prose, here is not even English, but merely a flux of words to the pen? |
17470 | Will you suggest that he did this because they were pretty? |
17470 | Will you tell me,''Oh, painting is a special art, whereas anyone can write prose passably well''? |
17470 | Would you have your mother University, Gentlemen, undecorated by some true study of your mother- English? |
17470 | Yes, and among the unnatural sciences, what of Political Economy? |
17470 | You perceive that the style is actually worse than in the sample quoted before; it has become flabby whereas that other was at any rate nervous? |
17470 | You saw? |
17470 | You will not ask me''What miracle?'' |
17470 | _ Accuracy._--Did I not remind myself in my first lecture, that Cambridge is the home of accurate scholarship? |
17470 | _ Duke._ And what''s her history? |
17470 | _ Why_ should the one invert the order of words in a fashion not permitted to the other?'' |
17470 | deeth, where is thi pricke? |
17470 | for what purpose a thousand hands, but to pluck the wires? |
17470 | his destiny?'' |
17470 | how d''ye do?'' |
17470 | of yesterday? |
17470 | or again( can personal note go straighter?) |
17470 | or the things? |
2562 | ( awakening) Pray, father, why are you peevish, and toss about the whole night? |
2562 | ( discovering a variety of mathematical instruments) Why, what is this, in the name of heaven? |
2562 | ( from within) Who''s there? |
2562 | A horse? |
2562 | A sword? |
2562 | About measures, or rhythms, or verses? |
2562 | About what? |
2562 | According to the dactyle? |
2562 | Ah me, what then, pray will become of me, wretched man? |
2562 | Alektryaina? |
2562 | Am I to feed upon wisdom like a dog? |
2562 | And do you now intend, on this account, to deny the debt? |
2562 | And do you then ask me for your money, being such an ignorant person? |
2562 | And for what did you come? |
2562 | And how then, you wretch does this become no way greater, though the rivers flow into it, while you seek to increase your money? |
2562 | And if he be a blackguard, what harm will he suffer? |
2562 | And so you look down upon the gods from your basket, and not from the earth? |
2562 | And to hold converse with the Clouds, our divinities? |
2562 | And what does it mean? |
2562 | And what this? |
2562 | And what, pray, have you thought? |
2562 | And will you be willing to deny these upon oath of the gods? |
2562 | And will you obey me at all? |
2562 | And yet, how could you, who are a mortal, have greater power than a god? |
2562 | And yet, on what principle do you blame the warm baths? |
2562 | And yet, what is life worth to you if you be deprived of these enjoyments? |
2562 | And yet, who was more valiant than he? |
2562 | And you appear to me, by Hermes, to be going to be summoned, if you will not pay me the money? |
2562 | Are they not males with you? |
2562 | Are they some heroines? |
2562 | Are you asleep? |
2562 | Are you not meditating? |
2562 | Both the same? |
2562 | But come, by the Earth, is not Jupiter, the Olympian, a god? |
2562 | But do you permit him? |
2562 | But from what class do the public orators come? |
2562 | But what debt came upon me after Pasias? |
2562 | But what good will rhythms do me for a living? |
2562 | But what if he should suffer the radish through obeying you, and be depillated with hot ashes? |
2562 | But what if, having the worst Cause, I shall conquer you in arguing, proving that it is right to beat one''s mother? |
2562 | But what is this? |
2562 | But what of that? |
2562 | But where is Lacedaemon? |
2562 | But why in the world do these look upon the ground? |
2562 | But why should I learn these things, that we all know? |
2562 | By doing what clever trick? |
2562 | By iron money, as in Byzantium? |
2562 | By no means; for how would you call Amynias, if you met him? |
2562 | By the gods, do you purpose to besiege me? |
2562 | By what do you swear? |
2562 | By what gods will you swear? |
2562 | Can not it? |
2562 | Come now, which of the two shall speak first? |
