35811 | Will you not think of this? 35811 And I fell at His feet and said,''Beloved pilgrim, whence comest Thou?'' 35811 And I said to the Lord,''O loving God, what canst Thou find in me? 35811 And are not the same words still spoken day by day to those who have ears to hear? 35811 And is not heaven enough for thee? 35811 And they ask--What seekest thou thus afar? |
35811 | And when the sisters who were with her said in wonderment,"Would you not be afraid to die without the sacrament?" |
35811 | But Thou art great, and we are small, how then can we receive that which Thou givest? |
35811 | But how can it be that Thou shouldst build a golden house, the house of Thy dwelling place, in a miry pool?'' |
35811 | But in the case of communications regarded as the voice of God, and_ not_ standing in opposition to His Word, must not a further distinction be made? |
35811 | But the Lord comforted her, saying,"Is it not true that I always retain in My hand a greater power than I bestow upon My creatures? |
35811 | But whence did Eckhart derive his expressions which reappear in Dante? |
35811 | Can the Son of God not comfort thee? |
35811 | Can the hand that has wounded heal? |
35811 | Can we say that in the nineteenth century it is otherwise? |
35811 | Can"religion"love us? |
35811 | Could you be so uncourteous to Him, as to refuse Him one hour a day in return for these thirty years? |
35811 | Did Dante know it as the Béguine knew it? |
35811 | Did he know that the river was a river of death-- the death which is the death of deaths,"in the land of the Jews"so long ago? |
35811 | Did they not often mistake for His voice the imaginations of their own hearts? |
35811 | For God to each of His creatures gave The place to its nature known, And shall it not be that my heart should crave For that which is mine own? |
35811 | How are we to do this? |
35811 | How did Matilda die? |
35811 | How much power does the spirit of unbelief, of lukewarmness, of corrupted Christianity, exercise upon us? |
35811 | How, then, was it that the true sheep of Christ in the convent of Hellfde followed at times the voice of strangers, and mistook it for His own? |
35811 | I said to him,"Good man, what is it you are lifting?" |
35811 | In how many words could that be taught us which we learn from the one expression,"The Lamb of God"? |
35811 | Is there nothing believed and taught amongst us which blinds the eyes of lost and helpless sinners to their need of a Saviour? |
35811 | O Bride, the saints in glory shine, Can they not fill that heart of thine? |
35811 | O blessed Love, who are they who know thee? |
35811 | Or slay, if no balm there be? |
35811 | Should she not rejoice and sing? |
35811 | Soul, couldst thou abide for an hour alone In the burning fire around His throne?" |
35811 | The nightingale she can but sing, For she is made of love''s delight, Of love bereft, what else were left Than death and night? |
35811 | Then spake the Host--"What need hast thou, That thou dost thus implore?" |
35811 | Then speaketh He and saith,"Beloved one, What would''st thou? |
35811 | This wide, wide world, so rich and fair, Thou sure canst find thy solace there? |
35811 | Thou art joined to Me, O Mine own, for ever, And nearer thou canst not be; Shall aught on earth or in heaven sever Myself from Me?" |
35811 | To the bridal chamber goeth the bride, For love is her home and rest; And shall not I in His light abide, When I lean upon His breast?" |
35811 | Was it in his case but a vague sense of a place of joy and beauty which the soul might find on this side of heaven? |
35811 | Whence came I here? |
35811 | Where art Thou, then, Belovèd? |
35811 | Where wilt thou find that ointment rare, O My belovèd one? |
35811 | Why so? |
35811 | Why so? |
35811 | Wilt thou die for Him who died? |
35811 | Wilt thou render Him love for His loving? |
35811 | Wilt thou, sinner, be converted? |
35811 | [ 10]"Why did I thus pray?" |
35811 | [ 12] Should we therefore conclude that_ all_ they received as His was but the working of their own minds, or a snare of the evil one? |
35811 | nothing which blinds the guilty to their need of the Atoning Blood? |
15082 | O Paradise, O Paradise Who does not sigh for rest? |
15082 | The Scholar said to his Master: How may I come to the supersensual life, that I may see God and hear Him speak? 15082 The Scholar said: How can I hear when I stand still from thinking and willing? |
15082 | The Scholar said: Is that near at hand or far off? 15082 What fruits dost thou bring back from this thy vision?" |
15082 | Where,says Jacob Boehme,"will you seek for God? |
15082 | [ 28] Is it possible to state more plainly the indivisible identity of the Spirit of Life? 15082 [ 39] How many people do each of us know who work and will in quiet love, and thus participate in eternal life? |
15082 | [ 41] And what is worship but a reach- out of the finite spirit towards Infinite Life? 15082 [ 91] What happens in it? |
15082 | Again, we have to remember that the instinctive self, powerful though it be? |
15082 | And if in a group or church, what should the character of this society be? |
15082 | And last, if we ask as a summing up of the whole matter:_ Why_ man is thus to seek the Eternal, through, behind and within the ever- fleeting? |
15082 | And the next question-- a highly practical question-- is,"How_ both_?" |
15082 | And what is perfection of joy but grace complete? |
15082 | But the crucial question which religion asks must be, does fresh life flow in from those visions and contacts, that intercourse? |
15082 | Can we honestly say that young people reared in them are likely to acquire this temper of heaven? |
15082 | Do the masters, or the workers, work and will in quiet love? |
15082 | Do we always manage or even try to give it that enduring object, in a form it can accept? |
15082 | Do we take enough notice of it? |
15082 | Does it send them out equipped with the means of living a full and efficient spiritual life? |
15082 | Does it train them to regard humanity, and their own place in the human life- stream, from this point of view? |
15082 | First, does the average good education train our young people in spiritual self- preservation? |
15082 | How is he to be dealt with, and the opportunities which he presents used best? |
15082 | How is the traditional deposit of spiritual experience handed on, the individual drawn into the stream of spiritual history and held there? |
15082 | How is this done? |
15082 | How many politicians-- the people to whom we have confided the control of our national existence-- work and will in quiet love? |
15082 | If anyone who has followed these arguments, and now desires to bring them from idea into practice, asks:"What next?" |
15082 | If, then, it does achieve the social phase what stages may we expect it to pass through, and by what special characters will it be graced? |
15082 | Is nothing left out? |
15082 | Is such a view complete? |
15082 | Is transcendental feeling involved in them? |
15082 | Last, to what extent do we try to introduce our pupils into a full enjoyment of their spiritual inheritance, the culture and tradition of the past? |
15082 | Or after considering the inner nature of international diplomacy and finance? |
15082 | Or after reading the unvarnished record of our dealings with the problem of Indian immigration into Africa? |
15082 | Ought we not to introduce our pupils to them; not as stuffed specimens, but as vivid human beings? |
15082 | Secondly, does it give them a spiritual outlook in respect of their racial duties, fit them in due time to be parents of other souls? |
15082 | Secondly,_ Process._ What is the line of development by which the individual comes to acquire and exhibit these characters? |
15082 | This question, often put in the crucial form,"Did Jesus Christ intend to form a Church?" |
15082 | V.][ Footnote 98: Que frutti reducene de esta tua visione? |
15082 | What about industry? |
15082 | What about our English saints? |
15082 | What about the hurried, ugly and devitalizing existence of our big towns? |
15082 | What about the master and the worker in such a possibly regenerated social order? |
15082 | What are we to regard as the heart of spirituality? |
15082 | What is it, then, from which he must be saved? |
15082 | What is that supernal symphony of which this elusive music, with its three complementary strains, forms part? |
15082 | What next? |
15082 | What thing is grace but beginning of joy? |
15082 | What was this impulse and urge? |
15082 | What, then, are we doing about this? |
15082 | When the young man with great possessions asked Jesus,"What shall I do to be saved?" |
15082 | Where then would be our most heart- searching social problems? |
15082 | Wherein do its differentia consist? |
15082 | Would not this, at last, actualize the Pauline dream, of each single citizen as a member of the Body of Christ? |
15082 | Yet is there in this state of things nothing but food for congratulation? |
15082 | [ 56] What, then, is the character of the life which St. Benedict proposed as a remedy for the human failure and disharmony that he saw around him? |
15082 | that is to say with diligence and faithful purpose, without selfish anxiety, without selfish demands and hostilities? |
23820 | Are you rich? 23820 Can anything that it sends be amiss? |
23820 | Can man by searching find out God? |
23820 | Can the divine will err? |
23820 | Do we not all wish that we could live our lives over again in the light of our present experience? |
23820 | How shall I seem to love my people? |
23820 | Out of politics, triumphs, battles, life, what at last finally remains? 23820 Seek you,"said a devout Catholic priest,"the secret of union with God? |
23820 | What is the happy life? |
23820 | What shall it profit a man,He well said,"if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" |
23820 | You desire to''serve humanity,''do you? |
23820 | ''Where are you?'' |
23820 | Again, are the daily occurrences of life pre- destined? |
23820 | All over the state the tourist is asked,"Have you seen Greeley? |
23820 | All that made life worth the living has been inexplicably withdrawn; and how, then, shall he live? |
23820 | And how? |
23820 | And so the question comes,--What do they mean? |
23820 | And the remedy lies,--where? |
23820 | And what is the life of the spirit? |
23820 | And_ why_ shall he live? |
23820 | But is gold the test of success? |
23820 | But what is humanity? |
23820 | But what is it to live? |
23820 | Can he be happy if he has lost all his worldly goods? |
23820 | Can he be happy if he has lost all his worldly goods? |
23820 | Can its infinite value be increased by the paltry difference of time, place, or circumstance? |
23820 | Can not even denial and defeat be held as developing qualities that might otherwise lie latent? |
23820 | Can the individual be happy, he will ask, when all that made happiness is taken away? |
23820 | Can the individual be happy, he will ask, when all that made happiness is taken away? |
23820 | Can we not relate our consciously intelligent life to our unconscious spiritual life? |
23820 | Can you forsake it for abstract literature?" |
23820 | Catholic or Protestant,--what matters it so that one who listens may hear the word? |
23820 | Comprising: WHAT LACKS THE SUMMER? |
23820 | Do not the interruptions assume a new form, and are they not, thereby, transfigured into glad and golden opportunity? |
23820 | Do thoughts register themselves magnetically on the air, and is this magnetic writing perceived, unconsciously, by one sensitive to it? |
23820 | Does it lose this power by the change called death? |
23820 | Does not the environment change with the life in a corresponding evolutionary process? |
23820 | Does one prefer to go down hill into some dark ravine or deep mountain gorge? |
23820 | Does the gate of possibilities, does the door of opportunity close with this brief mortal life? |
23820 | Does the road wind up hill? |
23820 | Does the vibration of the spoken word linger in the place where it is uttered? |
23820 | For himself alone, what does he want that money, mere money, can buy? |
23820 | For is not the underlying and fundamental truth this: that all is spirit? |
23820 | Has one been wronged, or misrepresented, or in any way injured? |
23820 | Have you eyes to find the five Which five hundred did survive? |
23820 | Here are an array of interruptions, but why not give them another name-- that of opportunities? |
23820 | Heretofore poet and prophet have always questioned despondently,--"Does the road wind up hill all the way?" |
23820 | How does this occur? |
23820 | How far do we make our own life? |
23820 | How far is it made for us? |
23820 | How is he to endure it? |
23820 | How is he to go on, living his life, in all this pain, perplexity, trial, or annoyance, much less to"glory"in this atmosphere of tribulation? |
23820 | How shall the perfect spiritual supremacy be established? |
23820 | If one encounters disaster or great personal sorrow, what then? |
23820 | If psychological only, what does that mean? |
23820 | If the physical universe can be so increasingly explored, shall not the spiritual universe be also penetrated by the spiritual powers of man? |
23820 | If this be true of resignation, what shall be said of tribulation,--of glorying in tribulation? |
23820 | If this deduction is true-- what then? |
23820 | Instead, what does the tourist see? |
23820 | Is every life just that which it is made? |
23820 | Is it a physical process going on in some physical medium or ether connecting the two brains? |
23820 | Is it a primary physiological function of the brain, or is it primarily psychological? |
23820 | Is it not this which is set before us in the progress of spirituality? |
23820 | Is it not, after all, composed of individuals? |
23820 | Is it not, then, true that a life really belongs to the environment it creates for himself, rather than to that in which it is first nurtured? |
23820 | Is not the life more than meat? |
23820 | Is not the next step in scientific progress to be into the invisible and the unknown? |
23820 | Is there no Roentgen ray that will pierce the horizon of the future and disclose to us what lies beyond? |
23820 | Is there not, then, a need for the gospel of one''s own endeavor? |
23820 | Is this power only inherent in the physical structure? |
23820 | Is this"The Country God Forgot"? |
23820 | Is thought, itself, photographed on the ether? |
23820 | Just how shall one be well and keep well? |
23820 | Just what is the explanation? |
23820 | May they not teach the divinest lesson of all,--the one most invaluable to human life,--absolute trust in God? |
23820 | Might not one, with profit, dwell for a moment upon this statement? |
23820 | Nor what indeed is more reasonable, more perfect, more divine, than the will of God? |
23820 | Nothing could withstand its consuming power.... And what makes this stupendous force? |
23820 | Now how are we to pluck out the heart of the mystery? |
23820 | Now the scientific question is: From whence did this impression proceed? |
23820 | Now,--always provided that there is full conviction of immortality,--why should it be wrong to seek his companionship or counsel from the unseen life? |
23820 | One asks for them-- and they do not come? |
23820 | Or does there work, under all our human will and endeavor, a force resistless as gravitation and as constant as attraction? |
23820 | Or is he the product of his environment? |
23820 | Shall Phillips Brooks, the friend and helper and wise counsellor when here, be less so now that he has entered into the next higher scale of being? |
23820 | Shall he do it? |
23820 | Shall not one rejoice and recognize that the need of another is brought as a privilege to himself? |
23820 | Shall we not enter to- day into the very joy of the Lord? |
23820 | Shall we not enter to- day into this kingdom of heaven which is at hand? |
23820 | Shall you make his life and your own a burden with complaint and reproach? |
23820 | Should not the minister break off his morning meditation-- an abstract thing, at best-- to see me, who needs an immediate infusion of encouragement?" |
23820 | Strictly speaking, perhaps, no one of these has any real right to thus tax the time and energy of a stranger; but is there not another side to it? |
23820 | The cry of certain reformers(?) |
23820 | The problem, then, becomes that of bringing the psychical body into this receptive relation to the physical self? |
23820 | The question confronts one as a very determining problem in life,--can man control his circumstances? |
23820 | Then what remains? |
23820 | To go deeper still, can he create them? |
23820 | To see the future as clearly as we see the past, what does it require? |
23820 | To what extent should he yield to the"devastator of the day"? |
23820 | Was all this series of events-- trifles of no importance in themselves, but very curious in their combination-- foreordained? |
23820 | Was his life thereby a failure? |
23820 | Was it a clairvoyant reading of the letter that was en route during the night? |
23820 | Was it direct telepathy between the two persons concerned? |
23820 | What has he to do with that far- away, opaque, limited environment into which he was born? |
23820 | What is a book compared to a human soul? |
23820 | What is distance to the spiritual being? |
23820 | What then? |
23820 | What then? |
23820 | What though the bough beneath thee break? |
23820 | What value shall I give to those transformation experiences?" |
23820 | When shows break up what but one''s self is sure?" |
23820 | When shows break up, what but one''s self is sure?" |
23820 | Who can contemplate wireless telegraphy without having opened to him a range of activities and conditions undreamed of heretofore? |
23820 | Who can decide? |
23820 | Who has won the triumph''s evidence-- Pilate or Christ? |
23820 | Who would relinquish a right purpose because its achievement were hard? |
23820 | Why is it not visible? |
23820 | Why need you choose so painfully your place, and occupation, and associates, and modes of action and of entertainment? |
23820 | Will this theory furnish the basis for a true interpretation of telepathy? |
23820 | Without its own sustenance from the spiritual world, how could it survive? |
23820 | Yet where does the remedy lie? |
23820 | Yet, is there not just here a richness of opportunity in the aim to"do good to all men"that may often be unrecognized? |
23820 | Yet, with his personal world in ruins, what shall he do? |
23820 | _ Would he take a message?_ Just as lief as not; had nothing else to do; would carry it in no time. |
23820 | and if not, how was it that they were partly perceived, in the passive state of sleep, twenty- four hours before they occurred? |
23820 | or if death has taken those nearest and dearest to him? |
23820 | or if death has taken those nearest and dearest to him? |
23820 | or if the separations of life, far harder to bear than those of death, have come into his experience with their almost hopeless sense of desolation? |
23820 | or if the separations of life, far harder to bear than those of death, have come to him? |
23820 | rich enough to help somebody?" |
60377 | 3. Who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of a mortal man? |
60377 | 8. Who will remember thee when thou art dead; and who will pray for thee? |
60377 | All men naturally desire to know; but what doth knowledge avail without the fear of God? |
60377 | And how often have I found it where I did not expect it? |
60377 | And if thou ask why? |
60377 | And if thou drive him from thee, and lose him, to whom wilt thou fly, and whom then wilt thou seek for thy friend? |
60377 | And now in the midst of these things, what shall I say? |
60377 | And now, dear father, what shall I say? |
60377 | And to him that relishes thee not, what can ever yield any true delight? |
60377 | And unless thou didst command it, who would dare attempt to approach? |
60377 | And what can be more free, than he that desires nothing upon earth? |
60377 | And what need we concern ourselves about questions of philosophy? |
60377 | And what wonder, if he feels no weight, who is carried by the Almighty, and led on by the sovereign guide? |
60377 | And when thou hast run over all things, what profit will it be to thee, if thou hast neglected thyself? |
60377 | And why do such small things go to thy heart; but because thou art yet carnal, and regardest man more than thou oughtest? |
60377 | Are not all painful labours to be endured for everlasting life? |
60377 | Behold_ my_ God,_ and my All_, What would I have more, and what can I desire more happy? |
60377 | But if thou dost not overcome things that are small and light: when wilt thou overcome greater difficulties? |
60377 | But in what manner? |
60377 | But what art thou to those that love thee? |
60377 | But what return shall I make to the Lord for this grace, and for so extraordinary a charity? |
60377 | But whence is this to me, that thou shouldst come to me? |
60377 | But where is this devotion? |
60377 | But who am I, O Lord, that I should presume to come to thee? |
60377 | But why are we so willing to talk and discourse with one another: since we seldom return to silence without prejudice to our conscience? |
60377 | But why did I not provide better for myself, miserable wretch as I am? |
60377 | Can it be much to serve thee, whom the whole creation is bound to serve? |
60377 | Christ had adversaries and backbiters, and wouldst thou have all to be thy friends and benefactors? |
60377 | Christ would suffer and be despised, and dost thou dare to complain of any one? |
60377 | Could it even so much as pluck one hair away from thee? |
60377 | Dost thou think to escape that which no mortal could ever avoid? |
60377 | Dost thou think to have always spiritual consolations when thou pleasest? |
60377 | For when the disciples asked,_ Who was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?_( Matthew xviii.) |
60377 | For who is he that approaching humbly to the Fountain of Sweetness, does not carry away with him some little sweetness? |
60377 | For who is there amongst worldly people, that would not willingly receive comfort and spiritual joy, if he could always have it? |
60377 | For who shall be able to find the man that is truly poor in spirit, and naked of all things created? |
60377 | How canst thou look to continue ever in the same state of virtue, when this was not found in the angels in heaven, nor in the first man in Paradise? |
60377 | How dare such a sinner appear before thee? |
60377 | How do so many other religious do, who live under strict monastic discipline? |
60377 | How often have I not found faith there, where I thought I might depend upon it? |
60377 | How profitable indeed hath grace been kept with silence in this frail life, which is all but a temptation and a warfare? |
60377 | How shall I break through them? |
60377 | How shall I dare to approach, who am conscious to myself of no good, on which I can presume? |
60377 | How shall I pass without hurt? |
60377 | How short a time do I spend when I prepare myself to communicate? |
60377 | How sweetly and graciously dost thou order all things in favour of thy elect, to whom thou offerest thyself to be received in the sacrament? |
60377 | If a little suffering now makes thee so impatient, what will hell fire do hereafter? |
60377 | If all were perfect: what then should we have to suffer from others for God''s sake? |
60377 | If in the angels thou hast found sin, and hast not spared them, what will become of me? |
60377 | If thou art not now careful for thyself, who will be careful for thee hereafter? |
60377 | If thou art not prepared to- day, how wilt thou be to- morrow? |
60377 | If thou canst not make thyself such a one as thou wouldst: how canst thou expect to have another according to thy liking? |
60377 | If thou couldst see any thing at once before thee, what would it be but a vain sight? |
60377 | If thou dost not understand nor comprehend those things that are under thee, how shouldst thou comprehend those things that are above thee? |
60377 | If thou hadst not gone before and instructed us, who would have cared to have followed? |
60377 | If thou seekest rest in this life, how then wilt thou come to rest everlasting? |
60377 | If thou shalt say, thou art not able to suffer so much, how then wilt thou endure the fire of purgatory? |
60377 | If thou wilt suffer no opposition, how wilt thou be a friend of Christ? |
60377 | If to this day thou hadst always lived in honours and pleasures: what would it avail thee, if thou wert now in a moment to die? |
60377 | In what then, O Lord? |
60377 | Is any thing difficult to me? |
60377 | Is it not in me? |
60377 | Is it not thou, my Lord God, whose mercies are without number? |
60377 | Is not this a greater damage than if thou wert to lose the whole world? |
60377 | Lord what cause have I to complain if thou forsake me? |
60377 | Lord, how often shall I resign myself; and in what things shall I leave myself? |
60377 | Lord, what is my confidence which I have in this life? |
60377 | Lord? |
60377 | Now if he that makes a strong resolution often fails: what will he do who seldom or but weakly resolves? |
60377 | O God, the invisible Maker of the world, how wonderfully dost thou deal with us? |
60377 | O Lord, to what are we come? |
60377 | O fountain of everlasting_ love_, what shall I say of thee? |
60377 | O how exceedingly necessary is thy_ grace_ for me, O Lord, to begin that which is good, to go forward with it, and to accomplish it? |
60377 | O most wretched and foolish sinner, what answer wilt thou make to God, who knows all thy evils? |
60377 | O when shall I be with thee in thy kingdom, which thou hast prepared for thy Beloved from all eternity? |
60377 | O, my God, how much did they endeavour to do to please thee? |
60377 | Or shall I be like one that promises and does not perform? |
60377 | Or what can I justly alledge, if thou refuse to grant my petition? |
60377 | Or who, standing by a great fire, does not receive from it some little heat? |
60377 | Son, stand firm, and trust in me; for what are words but words? |
60377 | Stars have fallen from heaven, and I that am but dust, how can I presume? |
60377 | Suppose it to be so, that they have all they desire: how long dost thou think this will last? |
60377 | Tell me now where are all those great doctors, with whom thou wast well acquainted, whilst they were living, and flourished in learning? |
60377 | The whole life of Christ was a cross, and a martyrdom: and dost thou seek rest and joy? |
60377 | Thou art not to answer for others, but must give an account for thyself; why therefore dost thou meddle with them? |
60377 | To how many hath it been hurtful to have their virtue known, and over- hastily praised? |
60377 | To whom shall I give credit, O Lord? |
60377 | To- morrow is an uncertain day; and how dost thou know that thou shalt be alive to- morrow? |
60377 | Unless thou, O Lord, didst say it, who could believe it to be true? |
60377 | What answer canst thou make, O filthy sinner, to those that reproach thee, thou that hast so often offended God, and many times deserved hell? |
60377 | What are all temporal things, but deceit? |
60377 | What are these things, O Lord? |
60377 | What benefit is it to live long, when we advance so little? |
60377 | What can I do for my sins, but humbly confess them, and lament them, and incessantly implore thy mercy for them? |
60377 | What can any one do against thee, by his words or injuries? |
60377 | What can be more at rest than a simple eye[ that aims at nothing but God]? |
60377 | What can the world profit thee without Jesus? |
60377 | What canst thou see any where which can continue long under the sun? |
60377 | What canst thou see elsewhere which thou seest not here? |
60377 | What do I require more of thee, than that thou endeavour to resign thyself entirely to me? |
60377 | What does the solicitude about future accidents bring thee but only sorrow upon sorrow? |
60377 | What doth it avail thee, to discourse profoundly of the Trinity: if thou be void of humility, and consequently displeasing to the Trinity? |
60377 | What doth it avail to delay thy confession for a long time, or to put off the holy communion? |
60377 | What great thing is it, if thou be cheerful and devout when grace comes? |
60377 | What hast thou, vain man, to complain of? |
60377 | What hath man deserved, that thou shouldst give him thy grace? |
60377 | What hath thy servant but what he hath received from thee, and this without any merit on his side? |
60377 | What have I deserved for my sins but hell and everlasting fire? |
60377 | What have I done, O Lord, that thou shouldst impart any heavenly comfort to me? |
60377 | What have I then to glory in? |
60377 | What is all flesh in thy sight? |
60377 | What is it thou sayest, my Son? |
60377 | What is this or that to thee? |
60377 | What means this most loving condescension, and so friendly an invitation? |
60377 | What other things shall that fire feed on but thy sins? |
60377 | What return shall I make to thee for this grace? |
60377 | What saint was there ever in the world without his cross and affliction? |
60377 | What shall I do in my so great tribulations and anguishes, didst thou not encourage me with thy holy words? |
60377 | What shall I give thee for all these thousands of favours? |
60377 | What shall I say, who am guilty, and full of all confusion? |
60377 | What shall I therefore, an unworthy sinner, who am but dust and ashes, be able to search into, or conceive of so high and sacred a mystery? |
60377 | What then shall I do, O my God, my helper, my counsellor in necessities? |
60377 | What to those that serve thee with their whole heart? |
60377 | What was the reason why some of the saints were so perfect and contemplative? |
60377 | What will become of us yet in the end: who grow lukewarm so very soon? |
60377 | When shall I be set at liberty from the wretched slavery of sin? |
60377 | When shall I be without any impediment in true liberty, without any trouble of mind or body? |
60377 | When shall I contemplate the glory of thy kingdom? |
60377 | When shall I enjoy a solid peace, a peace never to be disturbed and always secure, a peace both within and without, a peace every where firm? |
60377 | When shall I to the full rejoice in thee? |
60377 | When wilt thou be_ all in all_ to me? |
60377 | When, O Lord, shall I be so happy as to think of thee alone? |
60377 | Where art thou, when thou art not present to thyself? |
60377 | Where is this so plentiful shedding of holy tears? |
60377 | Where is thy faith? |
60377 | Where is true peace, and true glory? |
60377 | Where shall we find a man that is willing to serve God_ gratis?_ 4. |
60377 | Where then can there be any lurking hole for glorying in myself? |
60377 | Where was it ever well with me without thee? |
60377 | Who am I, that thou shouldst give me thyself? |
60377 | Who can foresee all things, or who is able to provide against all future evils? |
60377 | Who is a greater hinderance and trouble to thee, than thine own unmortified affection of heart? |
60377 | Who is so wise as to be able fully to know all things? |
60377 | Who is there that has all things according to his will? |
60377 | Who is there that is most at ease? |
60377 | Who is there that serves and obeys me in all things, with that great care, with which the world and its lords are served? |
60377 | Why also have I so easily given credit to others? |
60377 | Why art thou troubled because things do not succeed with thee according to thy will and desire? |
60377 | Why dost thou pine away with vain grief? |
60377 | Why dost thou stand looking about thee here, since this is not thy resting place? |
60377 | Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labour? |
60377 | Why then am I not more inflamed, considering thy venerable presence? |
60377 | Why then art thou afraid to take up thy cross, which leads to a kingdom? |
60377 | Why wilt thou put off thy resolution from day to day? |
60377 | Why wilt thou see what thou must not have? |
60377 | Why wouldst thou prefer thyself to any one, since there are many more learned and skilful in the law than thyself? |
60377 | Why, O Lord? |
60377 | Wouldst thou have that immediately, which others after many tears and great labours have hardly obtained? |
60377 | _ Lord, what is man that thou art mindful of him; or the Son of Man that thou vouchsafest to visit him?_ Psalms vi. |
60377 | _ The Lord is my light, and my salvation: whom shall I fear?__ If whole armies should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. |
60377 | and how dost thou vouchsafe to come to a sinner? |
60377 | and what will all things created avail thee, if thou be forsaken by the Creator? |
60377 | how great confidence shall he have at the hour of his death, who is not detained by an affection to any thing in the world? |
60377 | how little is their love of God, how weak is their devotion who so easily put by the sacred communion? |
60377 | how little ought I to esteem whatever good I may seem to have? |
60377 | how many would have staid afar off, and a great way behind, if they had not before their eyes thy excellent example? |
60377 | or what is my greatest comfort amongst all things that appear under heaven? |
60377 | or when could it be ill with me when thou wast present? |
60377 | or why do I desire to be esteemed? |
60377 | shall the clay glory against him that formed it? |
60377 | to whom but thee? |
60377 | what can I do, and whither shall I go without thee? |
60377 | what do I suffer interiorly, whilst in my mind I consider heavenly things, and presently a crowd of carnal thoughts offers to interrupt my prayer? |
60377 | what is our life if compared to theirs? |
60377 | when will there be an end of these evils? |
60377 | where any confidence in any conceit of my own virtue? |
60377 | why dost thou think to live long, when thou art not sure of one day? |
60377 | why tirest thou thyself with useless cares? |
60377 | { 117} Are they not convinced to be rather lovers of themselves than of Christ, who are always thinking of their own profit and gain? |
60377 | { 118} And what is that? |
60377 | { 11} Who has a stronger conflict than he who strives to overcome himself? |
60377 | { 160} How can I ever forget thee, who hast vouchsafed to remember me, even after that I was laid waste, and perished? |
60377 | { 166} Dost thou think the men of the world suffer little or nothing? |
60377 | { 189} And how can it be called life, since it begets so many deaths and plagues? |
60377 | { 203} For what is it to thee whether this man be such, or such; or that man do or say this, or the other? |
60377 | { 237} Otherwise how canst thou be mine, and I thine; unless thou be both within and without freed from all self- will? |
60377 | { 244} Is it not for nothing? |
60377 | { 254} If things foreseen do yet often hurt us, how can things unlooked for fail of wounding us grievously? |
60377 | { 265} O good Jesu, when shall I stand to behold thee? |
60377 | { 304} Why art thou disturbed at a little thing said against thee? |
60377 | { 321} How shall I introduce thee into my house, who have oftentimes offended thy most gracious countenance? |
60377 | { 373} Or what creature under heaven so beloved as a devout soul, into whom God cometh, that he may feed her with his glorious flesh? |
60377 | { 74} If thou canst now endure so little how wilt thou be able to bear everlasting torments? |
60377 | { 87} Whence shall thy patience be crowned, if thou meet with no adversity? |
2500 | An advice? 2500 And do you know,"Siddhartha continued,"what word it speaks, when you succeed in hearing all of its ten thousand voices at once?" |
2500 | And do you, sir, intent to continue travelling without clothes? |
2500 | And now, Siddhartha, what are you now? |
2500 | And what''s the use of that? 2500 And would you rather die, than obey your father?" |
2500 | And would you write something for me on this piece of paper? |
2500 | Are you Siddhartha? |
2500 | Are you kidding? |
2500 | But did n''t you yesterday wear a beard, and long hair, and dust in your hair? |
2500 | But if you do n''t mind me asking: being without possessions, what would you like to give? |
2500 | But what are you planning to live of, being without possessions? |
2500 | But what if I had n''t been willing? |
2500 | But where would you be without me? 2500 Dear Kamala, thus advise me where I should go to, that I''ll find these three things most quickly?" |
2500 | Did you,so he asked him at one time,"did you too learn that secret from the river: that there is no time?" |
2500 | Do you hear? |
2500 | Do you think so? |
2500 | How come? |
2500 | How come? |
2500 | How could I part with him? |
2500 | How do you think, Govinda,Siddhartha spoke one day while begging this way,"how do you think did we progress? |
2500 | However did you get here? |
2500 | I do n''t quite understand yet,asked Govinda,"what do you mean by this?" |
2500 | If you''re coming from the Samanas, how could you be anything but destitute? 2500 No, my dear, how should I be sad? |
2500 | Nothing else? |
2500 | O Siddhartha,he exclaimed,"will your father permit you to do that?" |
2500 | Permit me to ask, sir, from where do you know my name? |
2500 | Siddhartha,he spoke,"what are you waiting for?" |
2500 | So will you abandon your plan? |
2500 | That''s everything? |
2500 | Were n''t you already standing out there yesterday, greeting me? |
2500 | What are you waiting for? |
2500 | Why did you take the axe along? |
2500 | Why have you told me this about the stone? |
2500 | Will you always stand that way and wait, until it''ll becomes morning, noon, and evening? |
2500 | Would you like to ferry me over? |
2500 | You have achieved it? |
2500 | You have found peace? |
2500 | You''ll go into the forests? |
2500 | You''re able to read? 2500 You''ve lost your riches?" |
2500 | Alas, I have also grown old, old-- could you still recognise me?" |
2500 | And Siddhartha said quietly, as if he was talking to himself:"What is meditation? |
2500 | And asked:"And only to tell me this, Siddhartha has come to me?" |
2500 | And could you in any way protect your son from Sansara? |
2500 | And have you not at one time said to me, you would not walk the path of the Samanas for much longer?" |
2500 | And now let''s get to it: You are n''t satisfied with Siddhartha as he is, with oil in his hair, but without clothes, without shoes, without money?" |
2500 | And what about the gods? |
2500 | And what is it now what you''ve got to give? |
2500 | And write?" |
2500 | Are n''t the Samanas entirely without possessions?" |
2500 | Are n''t you able to do anything else but thinking, fasting, making poetry?" |
2500 | Are n''t you too, ferryman, a searcher for the right path?" |
2500 | But are n''t you mistaken in thinking that you would n''t force him, would n''t punish him? |
2500 | But do we, you and me, know what he is called upon to do, what path to take, what actions to perform, what pain to endure? |
2500 | But have you not also developed a desire, an eagerness, to hear these teachings? |
2500 | But he, Siddhartha, where did he belong to? |
2500 | But is n''t every life, is n''t every work beautiful?" |
2500 | But look, how shall I put him, who had no tender heart anyhow, into this world? |
2500 | But speak, lovely Kamala, could n''t you still give me one small advice?" |
2500 | But tell me, how should this be possible? |
2500 | But tell me: Have you seen the multitude of my Samanas, my many brothers, who have taken refuge in the teachings? |
2500 | But tell us, oh mother of the pilgrims, do you know him, the Buddha, have you seen him with your own eyes?" |
2500 | But what will become of you? |
2500 | But where, where was this self, this innermost part, this ultimate part? |
2500 | But you, Siddhartha, where are you going to?" |
2500 | But you, my honoured friend, do n''t you also want to walk the path of salvation? |
2500 | By means of teachings, prayer, admonition? |
2500 | By what do I still recognise that you''re Siddhartha? |
2500 | Did any Samana or Brahman ever fear, someone might come and grab him and steal his learning, and his religious devotion, and his depth of thought? |
2500 | Did he have to leave them to become a Kamaswami? |
2500 | Did he not have to expect the same fate for himself? |
2500 | Did he not, again and again, have to drink from holy sources, as a thirsty man, from the offerings, from the books, from the disputes of the Brahmans? |
2500 | Did he still need her, or she him? |
2500 | Did she not always expect it? |
2500 | Did the sacrifices give a happy fortune? |
2500 | Did they not play a game without an ending? |
2500 | Did we reach any goals?" |
2500 | Did you mark my words?" |
2500 | Do n''t you make him feel inferior every day, and do n''t you make it even harder on him with your kindness and patience? |
2500 | Do n''t you see that he does n''t want to be followed?" |
2500 | Do n''t you shackle him with your love? |
2500 | Do you have a faith, or a knowledge, you follow, which helps you to live and to do right?" |
2500 | Do you have a spell?" |
2500 | Do you have a teaching? |
2500 | Do you know it now, Samana from the forest? |
2500 | Does it please the venerable one to listen to me for one moment longer?" |
2500 | For example, the fasting-- what is it good for?" |
2500 | For what else? |
2500 | For whom else were offerings to be made, who else was to be worshipped but Him, the only one, the Atman? |
2500 | Govinda said:"But is that what you call` things'', actually something real, something which has existence? |
2500 | Had his father not also suffered the same pain for him, which he now suffered for his son? |
2500 | Had his father not long since died, alone, without having seen his son again? |
2500 | Had not this bird died in him, had he not felt its death? |
2500 | Have n''t you''ve been a Samana? |
2500 | Have you never thought of this?" |
2500 | He smiled a little--was it really necessary, was it right, was it not as foolish game, that he owned a mango- tree, that he owned a garden? |
2500 | How come? |
2500 | How could you have learned meditation, holding your breath, insensitivity against hunger and pain there among these wretched people?" |
2500 | How could you? |
2500 | How should the Gotama''s teachings, even before we have heard them, have already revealed their best fruit to us?" |
2500 | Is n''t forced, is n''t he punished by all this?" |
2500 | Is n''t it just a deception of the Maja, just an image and illusion? |
2500 | Is n''t it just as if I had turned slowly and on a long detour from a man into a child, from a thinker into a childlike person? |
2500 | Is n''t it so?" |
2500 | Kamala pointed to her boy and said:"Did you recognise him as well? |
2500 | Kamaswami left the room and returned with a scroll, which he handed to his guest while asking:"Can you read this?" |
2500 | Make offerings? |
2500 | Might it come from that long, good sleep, which has done me so good? |
2500 | Might we get closer to enlightenment? |
2500 | Might we get closer to salvation? |
2500 | Might you have become destitute, Brahman, so that you seek to serve?" |
2500 | Often I have thought: Wo n''t Govinda for once also take a step by himself, without me, out of his own soul? |
2500 | Only Kamala had been dear, had been valuable to him-- but was she still thus? |
2500 | Or do we perhaps live in a circle-- we, who have thought we were escaping the cycle?" |
2500 | Or from the fact that I have escaped, that I have completely fled, that I am finally free again and am standing like a child under the sky? |
2500 | Or from the word Om, which I said? |
2500 | Or might you have only travelled for your amusement?" |
2500 | Perhaps that you''re searching far too much? |
2500 | Perhaps, he had really died, had drowned and was reborn in a new body? |
2500 | Practise meditation? |
2500 | Quietly, he asked:"What do you think should I do?" |
2500 | Quoth Siddhartha after a long pause:"What other thing, Vasudeva?" |
2500 | Quoth Siddhartha:"What should I possibly have to tell you, oh venerable one? |
2500 | Quoth the Brahman:"Is that you, Siddhartha? |
2500 | Sad was how Govinda looked like, sadly he asked: Why have you forsaken me? |
2500 | Siddhartha answered:"How old, would you think, is our oldest Samana, our venerable teacher?" |
2500 | So what if he died, how did this concern the boy? |
2500 | So, where, where was it? |
2500 | Speak, friend, would n''t we want to go there too and listen to the teachings from the Buddha''s mouth?" |
2500 | Study? |
2500 | Tell me, my dear: you''re not taking control of your son''s upbringing? |
2500 | That in all that searching, you do n''t find the time for finding?" |
2500 | That perhaps your little son would be spared, because you love him, because you would like to keep him from suffering and pain and disappointment? |
2500 | The sacrifices and the invocation of the gods were excellent-- but was that all? |
2500 | Tiredness and hunger had weakened him, and whatever for should he walk on, wherever to, to which goal? |
2500 | To reach this place, the self, myself, the Atman, there was another way, which was worthwhile looking for? |
2500 | Very good are the teachings of the exalted one, how could I find a fault in them?" |
2500 | Was he not a Samana, a man who was at home nowhere, a pilgrim? |
2500 | Was it necessary to live for this? |
2500 | Was it not a comedy, a strange and stupid matter, this repetition, this running around in a fateful circle? |
2500 | Was it not due to this death, that he was now like a child, so full of trust, so without fear, so full of joy? |
2500 | Was it not the Atman, He, the only one, the singular one? |
2500 | Was it not this what he used to intend to kill in his ardent years as a penitent? |
2500 | Was it not this, which today had finally come to its death, here in the forest, by this lovely river? |
2500 | Was it possible, to breathe in again and again, to breathe out, to feel hunger, to eat again, to sleep again, to sleep with a woman again? |
2500 | Was it really Prajapati who had created the world? |
2500 | Was it still at all possible to be alive? |
2500 | Was it therefore good, was it right, was it meaningful and the highest occupation to make offerings to the gods? |
2500 | Was not Atman in him, did not the pristine source spring from his heart? |
2500 | Was this cycle not exhausted and brought to a conclusion for him? |
2500 | Was this not the river in which he had intended to drown himself, in past times, a hundred years ago, or had he dreamed this? |
2500 | Were his father''s religious devotion, his teachers warnings, his own knowledge, his own search able to keep him safe? |
2500 | Were the gods not creations, created like me and you, subject to time, mortal? |
2500 | What can stand the test? |
2500 | What is fasting? |
2500 | What is holding one''s breath? |
2500 | What is it that you''ve learned, what you''re able to do?" |
2500 | What is leaving one''s body? |
2500 | What might you be able to do?" |
2500 | What remains? |
2500 | What would be its title?" |
2500 | What would you be, if Kamala was n''t helping you?" |
2500 | What, oh Siddhartha, what would then become of all of this what is holy, what is precious, what is venerable on earth?!" |
2500 | Whatever should I do at home and at my father''s place? |
2500 | When was there ever a time when he had experienced happiness, felt a true bliss? |
2500 | Where are you going to, oh friend?" |
2500 | Where else might my path lead me to? |
2500 | Where is Siddhartha the Brahman? |
2500 | Where is Siddhartha the Samana? |
2500 | Where is Siddhartha the rich man? |
2500 | Wherever from, he asked his heart, where from did you get this happiness? |
2500 | Who has kept the Samana Siddhartha safe from Sansara, from sin, from greed, from foolishness? |
2500 | Who would n''t like to give an advice to a poor, ignorant Samana, who is coming from the jackals of the forest?" |
2500 | Whose language would he speak? |
2500 | Why did he, the irreproachable one, have to wash off sins every day, strive for a cleansing every day, over and over every day? |
2500 | Why had Gotama, at that time, in the hour of all hours, sat down under the bo- tree, where the enlightenment hit him? |
2500 | Why not? |
2500 | With whom would he share his life? |
2500 | Would n''t you, ferryman, like to accept these clothes, which are a nuisance to me, from me? |
2500 | Would you actually believe that you had committed your foolish acts in order to spare your son from committing them too? |
2500 | Would you like to give me a kiss for a poem?" |
2500 | Would you like to tell me something, oh honourable one?" |
2500 | Would you think, my dear, anybody might perhaps be spared from taking this path? |
2500 | Would you want to hesitate, do you want to wait any longer?" |
2500 | Yes, he thought, standing there with his head low, what would remain of all that which seemed to us to be holy? |
2500 | You also do not love-- how else could you practise love as a craft? |
2500 | You do n''t beat him? |
2500 | You do n''t force him? |
2500 | You do n''t punish him?" |
2500 | You''ve changed a lot, my friend.--And so you''ve now become a ferryman?" |
2500 | Your stone, your tree, your river-- are they actually a reality?" |
15964 | A mistake? |
15964 | Am I to come with you? |
15964 | Amroth,I said, bewildered,"you can not mean--?" |
15964 | And this place-- how can I describe it? |
15964 | And what do you feel about it? |
15964 | Are you vexed? |
15964 | But how did you learn this? |
15964 | But if a man sees that he is wanting in this kind of perception,I said,"what can he do? |
15964 | But is a great position in the world,I said,"whether inherited or attained, a dangerous thing?" |
15964 | But then,I said,"what is the use of all that? |
15964 | But what about Charles? |
15964 | But what am I to do, and where am I to go? |
15964 | But what becomes of all those whom we have loved? |
15964 | But what do you feel about it now? |
15964 | But will you not advise me what to do next? |
15964 | But,I said,"I can not understand yet; why was that terrible leap demanded of me? |
15964 | But,I said,"can one revive the old lives at will? |
15964 | But,I said,"if I may carry the thought further, might not all be true? |
15964 | But,I said,"tell me this, Charmides, was there never any one in the old days whom you cared for like that?" |
15964 | But,I said,"we can visit the earth with incredible rapidity?" |
15964 | Can I revisit,I said,"the scene of my last life-- see and know what those I loved are doing and feeling?" |
15964 | Can not you see that, whatever this place is, it is not a sentimental place? 15964 Can you manage to hobble a few steps? |
15964 | Can you trust me and go with me? 15964 Do n''t you feel sorry for the muddle and ignorance and pathos of it all? |
15964 | Do you mean to say,I said,"that they were actually aware that they had no sort of power to inflict any injury upon me?" |
15964 | Do you never think--? |
15964 | Does salvation belong to poets and novelists? |
15964 | Forgive you? |
15964 | Have I been dreaming? |
15964 | Have you any hope,said Amroth,"of recovery?" |
15964 | Have you not yet guessed,said Amroth sternly,"how terrible Love can be? |
15964 | How are you feeling, dear sir? |
15964 | How can I explain? |
15964 | I can endure it,I said, laughing,"for it does me good to see you and to hear you; but tell me, Amroth, what have you been about all this time? |
15964 | I thought that God was everywhere-- within us, about us, beyond us? 15964 I was afraid,"I said,"that it would all be so different-- like a catechism''Dost thou believe-- is this thy desire?'' |
15964 | May I ask,I said,"exactly what they could have done to me, and what their real power is?" |
15964 | Now is not this heavenly? |
15964 | Old Charles? |
15964 | Quick, let us go,she said;"what are we waiting for?" |
15964 | So this is the end of all our amusement? |
15964 | Some of my own happiest days were spent at Tooting: would you be surprised if I said that it reminded me of Tooting? |
15964 | Suppose we say a boy who has been working too hard for his health, and has been given a long holiday? |
15964 | The meaning? |
15964 | There,he said,"what do you think of that? |
15964 | Was it here? 15964 Was it you,"I said,"that have been showing me all this? |
15964 | Well, but_ who_ are they? |
15964 | Well,I said to Cynthia with a show of cheerfulness,"what shall we do next? |
15964 | Well,I said,"I am amazed-- but now what am I to do? |
15964 | Well,said Amroth,"would you like to see more?" |
15964 | What am I to do? |
15964 | What is that? |
15964 | What is the meaning of this hateful business? |
15964 | What made him do that? |
15964 | What would have happened if they had found us here? |
15964 | Where am I going, brother? |
15964 | Where are you going to take me? |
15964 | Where on earth has this enchanting baby sprung from? |
15964 | Where on earth have we got to now? |
15964 | Who are these people,I said,"whom one sometimes meets, who are so far removed from all of us? |
15964 | Who knows but that I shall be sent to help them away, and carry them, as I carried you, to the crystal sea of peace? 15964 Will she get through?" |
15964 | Will you forgive me then,I said,"if I ask you plainly what this place is? |
15964 | Would it surprise you to learn that most of these people whom you see here passed upon earth for wicked and unsatisfactory characters? 15964 Yes,"I said,"it has done me good to see all this-- it makes many things plain; but can you bear to leave them thus?" |
15964 | Yes,he said,"the crags and the sunset-- do you not remember? |
15964 | You confuse me greatly,I said;"surely you do not mean that spiritual life and progress are a matter of intellectual energy?" |
15964 | And if your work with me is done, where are you now going?" |
15964 | And why did I confront it with such abject cowardice and dismay? |
15964 | Are you feeling strong enough to go on?" |
15964 | But now if Cynthia chooses to amuse herself with other people, what do I care? |
15964 | But now it may be going to be better; you can tell me where I can find people, perhaps? |
15964 | But the figure that came out to us-- how shall I describe him? |
15964 | But what of that? |
15964 | But what was it that I saw, and what was it that was told me? |
15964 | But where do these unhappy people come from?" |
15964 | But who are you, my child? |
15964 | Ca n''t something be done to show everybody what a ghastly mistake it is, to get so tied down to the earth and the things of earth?" |
15964 | Ca n''t you take some interest? |
15964 | Can one look back into the long range of previous lives? |
15964 | Can people indeed fall and die there?" |
15964 | Did not your heart burn within you at his luminous exposition? |
15964 | Did you ever see anything more beautiful than those pine- trees on the slope there, with the blue distance between their stems? |
15964 | Do n''t you remember the feeling at such times of how many there were in the world whom one might love, if one had leisure and opportunity and energy? |
15964 | Do n''t you see that their grief and loss is the one beautiful thing in those lives, and all that it is doing for them, drawing them hither? |
15964 | Do you know that your talk is very provincial? |
15964 | Do you not remember another life in which you loved a friend with a strange love, that surprised you by its nearness? |
15964 | Does that uplift you? |
15964 | Had I ever desired it? |
15964 | Had they invaded, corrupted, hurt other poor wills and lives? |
15964 | Had they passed out of my life? |
15964 | Have you found your work and place here yet?" |
15964 | Have you had a thought of me?" |
15964 | He came up to us, and bending down to Cynthia with great tenderness, took her hand, and said,"Will you stay here quietly a little, Cynthia, and rest? |
15964 | He was silent for a little, musing, till I said,"Will you not tell me some of your own adventures? |
15964 | How can I explain that? |
15964 | How can that be?" |
15964 | How do you feel?" |
15964 | How is he to learn to love what he does not admire and to abhor what he does not hate? |
15964 | How is it I was not merged in light and life?" |
15964 | How was that? |
15964 | I am not quite unpresentable, even here? |
15964 | I can not read your mind clearly-- it is occupied with something I can not grasp-- what is your work in heaven?" |
15964 | I do not want to change it, and I am very happy, but is n''t it all rather pointless? |
15964 | I said,"Then is it a bad thing to be busy in the world, because it takes off your mind from the things which matter?" |
15964 | I understand the case of the oppressors well enough; but about the oppressed, what is the justice of that? |
15964 | I was as the lost sheep found, as the wayward son taken home; and should I spoil my joy with recalling what was past and done with for ever? |
15964 | I was silent for a little, and then I said:"I remember now more clearly, but did I really see Him? |
15964 | I wonder if that is possible? |
15964 | IV Once I said:"Which kind of people do you find it hardest to help along?" |
15964 | If Death is dreadful, what must that be which is stronger than Death? |
15964 | Is Lucius like an arm- chair, too?" |
15964 | Is it some judgment which I am to face, or am I to suffer pain? |
15964 | Is not the mistake to think that one holds the truth in its entirety, and that one has no more to learn and to perceive? |
15964 | Is one indeed liable to this kind of interruption, Amroth?" |
15964 | Is pain indeed the end of all?" |
15964 | Is that permitted?" |
15964 | Is there not a fortuitous element there, an interruption of the Divine plan? |
15964 | It can not surely be that people in the body should avoid employment, and give themselves to secluded meditation? |
15964 | It is all a matter of feeling, then? |
15964 | It seems impossible, but was I told to jump down? |
15964 | May I conclude, then, that this is your intention?" |
15964 | May I help him?" |
15964 | May I stay with you a little?" |
15964 | May I venture to say frankly how well she is looking, and you too? |
15964 | Only a few who are bold and kind-- like you, for instance?" |
15964 | Perhaps you would like to be introduced to him?" |
15964 | Shall I have to undergo a course here?" |
15964 | She said to me one day as we sat together,"I wish you would tell me what this is all about? |
15964 | Surely one need not go stumbling and cowed into the presence of God?" |
15964 | Surely these are all very important matters? |
15964 | The evil I had done, was it indeed evil? |
15964 | The things that I had wrought, ignoble, cruel, base, mean, selfish-- had I ever willed to do them? |
15964 | Then he looked at me, and said,"I daresay you are surprised? |
15964 | VII One day I said to Amroth,"Are there no rules of life here? |
15964 | Was it always thus, I wondered? |
15964 | Was it that he thought me unequal to the experience? |
15964 | Was it true? |
15964 | We were rich at my home, and in society-- you understand? |
15964 | Were those grievous things still growing, seeding, flowering in other lives left behind? |
15964 | Were we not away from such things as mouldering flesh and broken bones? |
15964 | What are they doing here?" |
15964 | What are we here for but to get acquainted with one another-- to let our inmost thoughts talk together? |
15964 | What do you think?" |
15964 | What had happened to me? |
15964 | What has happened to me? |
15964 | What is one to do?" |
15964 | What is one to make of that?" |
15964 | What is the good of being wiser than the aged, if one has more commandments to keep?" |
15964 | What is the meaning of all this pain, which seems to do people nothing but harm, and makes them a burden to themselves and others too?" |
15964 | What is the worth of that?" |
15964 | What is this extraordinarily depressing place? |
15964 | What was the mystery, then? |
15964 | What, then, is the great hindrance in the life of men?" |
15964 | When we were outside, I said to the guide,"May I ask you one question? |
15964 | Where are you bound?" |
15964 | Where do you think we are?" |
15964 | Where''s John?" |
15964 | Who do you think, by the light of your psychology, are all these simple people?" |
15964 | Who would have supposed that an old recollection like that would have disturbed me so much? |
15964 | Who would have thought that I should have forgotten my visions so soon? |
15964 | Why can not God leave us alone?" |
15964 | Why can one never have a moment''s peace? |
15964 | Why do we have to go and come, up and down, backwards and forwards, in this absurd way, as if we were still in the body? |
15964 | Why not just slip off the leads, and fly down over the crags like a pair of pigeons? |
15964 | Why not settle down, and make the poor girl a little mote worthy of yourself?" |
15964 | Why should the pure, clear, joyful, sleepless life I now feel be tainted and hampered and drugged by the body? |
15964 | Why trouble about it? |
15964 | Will you come with me into the house to see the likenesses of things, or shall we have an hour alone together, and try to look into essences?" |
15964 | Will you not tell me something of yourself in return? |
15964 | Will you pledge yourself as a gentleman, and, as I believe I am right in saying, as a Christian, to do this?" |
15964 | Will you tell me a little about yourself? |
15964 | Wo n''t you tell me what it is?" |
15964 | Would it be of use if I remained here for a time to talk with that poor man? |
15964 | Yet I did struggle on, with a hideous faintness and weariness-- but would it never stop? |
15964 | Yet how am I here? |
15964 | Yet surely, I thought, it is all something outside me? |
15964 | You did not expect to see such terrors and dangers here? |
15964 | You know, do n''t you, how I was being employed, before I came back, God be praised, to find you? |
15964 | You remember the blessing of the pure in heart, that they shall see God? |
15964 | and when? |
15964 | said I;"the evil as well as the good?" |
11304 | How soon will the tree fall? |
11304 | Which is the better-- a great memory or some trifling comfort?'' |
11304 | Why should I not live as long? |
11304 | ''A hermitage on Castle Island?'' |
11304 | ''And I leave yourself to imagine the groaning that was heard in the church that morning, for were n''t they all small tenants? |
11304 | ''And did n''t you go in after them?'' |
11304 | ''And if a car got through in February, why ca n''t we get through on the first of June?'' |
11304 | ''And just because I saved you, you thought you would come to save me?'' |
11304 | ''And knowing you were going down to hell?'' |
11304 | ''And she''s willing to come back?'' |
11304 | ''And where would I be picking up a living if it were n''t on a cab- rank, or you either?'' |
11304 | ''And you did n''t expect to find me?'' |
11304 | ''And you do n''t know why?'' |
11304 | ''And you still read Latin, classical Latin, easily?'' |
11304 | ''And your sisters are nuns?'' |
11304 | ''Are Bishops ever expected to have reasons?'' |
11304 | ''Are there no letters this morning?'' |
11304 | ''Are you? |
11304 | ''But does anything return?'' |
11304 | ''But has she a diploma from the Academy? |
11304 | ''But how did he treat her in the end, despite all her kindnesses? |
11304 | ''But if it were his fault?'' |
11304 | ''But if she be in no danger, of what use would the Sacrament be to her?'' |
11304 | ''But why am I writing about myself? |
11304 | ''But why did you come to me to marry you? |
11304 | ''But why should you be in doubt?'' |
11304 | ''But your work?'' |
11304 | ''Ca n''t you give a reason?'' |
11304 | ''Charges-- who is making charges?'' |
11304 | ''Come in, will you?'' |
11304 | ''Could anybody be more anti- Christian than that?'' |
11304 | ''Did O''Grady leave this paper here for me to read,''he asked himself,''or did he forget to take it away with him? |
11304 | ''Did n''t you say that it is n''t drink that destroys a man''s faith, but woman? |
11304 | ''Do n''t you believe in these things?'' |
11304 | ''Do you still think you were sent for a purpose?'' |
11304 | ''Does anyone know exactly what he believes? |
11304 | ''Have not men always believed in bird augury from the beginning of time? |
11304 | ''Have you spoken of the mistake you made in confession, Father Oliver?'' |
11304 | ''How all what came about?'' |
11304 | ''How do you do, Oliver?'' |
11304 | ''How is that?'' |
11304 | ''How is that?'' |
11304 | ''How is that?'' |
11304 | ''I have come back to my letter to ask if you would like me to go to see your baby? |
11304 | ''I wonder if Mary knows?'' |
11304 | ''Is n''t it when the nerves are on a stretch that we notice little things that do n''t concern us at all?'' |
11304 | ''Is the whole thing a fairy- tale, a piece of midsummer madness, I wonder? |
11304 | ''It would be safer, would n''t it?'' |
11304 | ''More useful?'' |
11304 | ''Must you really go after tea?'' |
11304 | ''My good man, why are you talking like that? |
11304 | ''No, I have n''t? |
11304 | ''No, why should I?'' |
11304 | ''Now what are you saying?'' |
11304 | ''Now what instinct guided its search for worms?'' |
11304 | ''Now why does he take the southern road?'' |
11304 | ''Now will you mind what you''re sayin'', and the priest listenin''to you?'' |
11304 | ''Now, Christy, which do you reckon to be the shorter road?'' |
11304 | ''Now, Moran, is n''t it strange? |
11304 | ''Now, Moran, sit down and eat a bit, wo n''t you?'' |
11304 | ''Now, is it out bathing you''re going, your reverence? |
11304 | ''Now, what are you talkin''about? |
11304 | ''Now, what will Father O''Grady answer to all this?'' |
11304 | ''Now, you''ll tell me if I''m in the way?'' |
11304 | ''Of course you''re surprised-- how could it be otherwise? |
11304 | ''Over the page the saint says:"Every man naturally desireth to know; but what doth knowledge avail without the fear of God?" |
11304 | ''Put her utterly out of my mind,''Father Oliver cried aloud;''now what does he mean by that?'' |
11304 | ''So Miss Glynn has written to you?'' |
11304 | ''So you''re going to be married, Pat?'' |
11304 | ''Soldier or shepherd, what matter now she is gone?'' |
11304 | ''Then you side with the Archbishop?'' |
11304 | ''To supper?'' |
11304 | ''Was it dying or dead you saw me?'' |
11304 | ''Was n''t it I that saw Patsy? |
11304 | ''Was no attempt,''he asked,''made to marry you to some girl with a big fortune?'' |
11304 | ''Well, Mary, what are you thinking of doing?'' |
11304 | ''Well, if you''re sure you''ve nothing to do, may I stay to supper?'' |
11304 | ''Well, well,''said Father Oliver,''you see there''s no child--''''But you''ll be waitin''a minute for the sake of the poor child, your reverence? |
11304 | ''What are you saying, Gogarty? |
11304 | ''What is it but a step? |
11304 | ''What popular opinion is there to defy? |
11304 | ''What reason could she have?'' |
11304 | ''What should I be answering?'' |
11304 | ''What time do you be making it, Gogarty?'' |
11304 | ''What would I be doin'', going into a Protestant church?'' |
11304 | ''Which way are you going? |
11304 | ''Why all this hurry?'' |
11304 | ''Why did he come here disturbing me with his beliefs,''he cried out,''poisoning my will?'' |
11304 | ''Why do you think she regretted my garden?'' |
11304 | ''Why is that?'' |
11304 | ''Why should she have selected that cottage, the only pretty one in the county? |
11304 | ''Will you leave off pushing me?'' |
11304 | ''You do n''t mean that he is so senile and superstitious as that? |
11304 | ''You do n''t mean to say that you''re thinking of leaving the convent, Mary?'' |
11304 | ''You do?'' |
11304 | ''You know the name of Mr. Poole''s book,"The Source of the Christian River"? |
11304 | ''You mean that I should put you up here and let you get drunk?'' |
11304 | ''You think so?'' |
11304 | ''You think, then,''Father O''Grady said,''that a Christian forfeits his faith if he inquires?'' |
11304 | ''You''d like to see my garden?'' |
11304 | ''You''ll enjoy the drive?'' |
11304 | ''You''ll put up your horse? |
11304 | ''You''re quite sure I''m not in the way-- I''m not interfering with any plans?'' |
11304 | ''Your reverence, will the child be always a Protestant? |
11304 | Ah, Landor''s"Hellenics"in the original Latin: how did that book come here?'' |
11304 | All Tinnick would be laughing at him, and Eliza, what would she think of him? |
11304 | All that night, all next day, and for how many days? |
11304 | Am I not right?'' |
11304 | And does it not seem to you that, after all, there was some design in what has happened? |
11304 | And if I did go to London, of what should I speak to him? |
11304 | And where would she go if she did leave, unless she lived with you?'' |
11304 | And which self did he think the worthier, his present or his dead self? |
11304 | And who could doubt that saints attained the eternal life, which is God, while still living in the temporal flesh? |
11304 | And why should he be disbelieving in that which has been prophesied for generations about the Abbot of Kilronan?'' |
11304 | Are n''t you two miles nearer to Father Moran than you are to me?'' |
11304 | As for Mary--''''You surely do n''t think she''s going to leave?'' |
11304 | Because I liked you? |
11304 | But a long field lay between his house and the school- house, and what would it avail him to see the empty room? |
11304 | But did he think of the church? |
11304 | But had I? |
11304 | But have you made inquiries? |
11304 | But is a man''s truth also woman''s truth? |
11304 | But of what use thinking of these things? |
11304 | But our Lord says that in heaven there is neither marriage nor giving in marriage, and what would heaven be to him without Nora? |
11304 | But the lake-- where was it? |
11304 | But this woman was moved merely by impulses; and what is more inexplicable than an impulse? |
11304 | But was he going to begin the story over again? |
11304 | But was he obliged to answer it? |
11304 | But was he sure if it had n''t been for Eliza that he would n''t have married Annie McGrath? |
11304 | But was she right in this? |
11304 | But was there water enough in the strait at this season of the year? |
11304 | But what connection between Nora Glynn and this dead woman? |
11304 | But what could Poole''s reason be for wishing him to leave Ireland, to go abroad? |
11304 | But what did he know about such women? |
11304 | But what was he to do? |
11304 | But what''s the matter, Gogarty? |
11304 | But where should he go? |
11304 | But where should he go? |
11304 | But who was he, he''d like to be told, that he should set himself up as Father Peter''s judge? |
11304 | But why am I writing all these things to you?'' |
11304 | But why is it extraordinary? |
11304 | But why quote when I can send you the book? |
11304 | But why should he assume that he would not rise higher? |
11304 | But why should the wind rise? |
11304 | But why was he thinking of her again? |
11304 | Christy, will you take his reverence''s horse? |
11304 | Could he fall into such miserable decadence? |
11304 | Could he have chosen a more appropriate one? |
11304 | Could one find a more beautiful name for a hermit? |
11304 | Could such obedience to rule be any man''s duty? |
11304 | Did n''t I know the Colonel''s grandfather and his grandmother? |
11304 | Did you ever read"The Imitation of Christ"? |
11304 | Did you receive that letter? |
11304 | Do n''t they only throw it at the child?'' |
11304 | Do n''t you know well enough I''d have been suspended? |
11304 | Do n''t you think we might go into the garden?'' |
11304 | Do we find life in adventure or by our own fireside? |
11304 | Do you ever turn to these books? |
11304 | Do you know anything, Father O''Grady, about this man''s writing? |
11304 | Do you like reading Latin?'' |
11304 | Do you remember an old man called Patsy Murphy? |
11304 | Do you remember saying that the loneliness of the country sometimes forced you to kneel down to pray that you might die? |
11304 | Do you remember saying that you intended to be Reverend Mother? |
11304 | Do you remember the dark gray clouds tearing across the sky, and we walking side by side, I trying to get away from you? |
11304 | Do you think that a woman can not repent? |
11304 | Do you want me to baptize the child or not?'' |
11304 | Does anyone want to be forgotten utterly? |
11304 | Does it? |
11304 | Egan?'' |
11304 | For did not the miracles of the saints prove that they were no longer subject to natural laws? |
11304 | For had n''t he begun to feel that what they needed was a really efficient priest, one who would look after their temporal interests? |
11304 | For had n''t he heard, as he came up the street, that Mrs. Rean had stolen the child from Mrs. Egan, and had had it baptized by the minister? |
11304 | Had he not felt her breath upon his cheek? |
11304 | Had he not written saying he was going, and was n''t that enough? |
11304 | Had n''t Moran said that there were times when we all wanted drink? |
11304 | Has it not often seemed strange to you that we go through life without ever being able to reveal the soul that is in us? |
11304 | Has n''t the holy water of the Church more power in it than the water they have? |
11304 | Have n''t we all heard the Archbishop say that any of his priests who appeals to Rome against him will get the worst of it?'' |
11304 | Have you forgotten how anxious I was that you should write the history of the lake and its castles? |
11304 | Have you inquired, dear Father O''Grady, what this man''s writings are, if he is a Catholic or a Protestant? |
11304 | He surely did not think it well that Father Peter had died, his friend, his benefactor, the man in whose house he was living? |
11304 | How did you guess that?'' |
11304 | How many times had he said that? |
11304 | How much do you think she''d come for?'' |
11304 | I do not say he will try to undermine your faith, but how can he do otherwise if he believe in what he writes? |
11304 | I hope you have made all these inquiries, and if you have not made them, will you make them at once and write to me and relieve my anxiety? |
11304 | I said to myself,"If this be so-- if, in return for kind thought-- Why should n''t she suffer? |
11304 | I should n''t like my daughter--''''What do you mean?'' |
11304 | I thought; and, desirous of seeing it fall, I walked on, guided by the sound, till I saw at the end of the glade-- whom do you think? |
11304 | I was just thinking--''''Of me?'' |
11304 | If Father Peter felt that Nora Glynn was not the kind of schoolmistress the parish required, should he not send her away? |
11304 | If I were sent for a purpose--''''But you do n''t believe seriously, Moran, that you were sent for a purpose?'' |
11304 | If there was a miracle that night, why should n''t there be a miracle to- night? |
11304 | If this were not so, why should your whiteness and colour and gaiety remind me always of the spring- time? |
11304 | If we are to believe at all in spiritual influences-- and who denies them?--can we minimize these? |
11304 | In what light was he to read it? |
11304 | Is it because we are ashamed, or is it that we do not know ourselves? |
11304 | Is it really true that he opposes the roofing of the abbey on account of the legend? |
11304 | Is it too much I am asking of thee, O my God, is it too much? |
11304 | Is n''t it all like a dream? |
11304 | Is there any more of it?'' |
11304 | It is not unlikely, for what do we do all through our lives but to repeat ourselves? |
11304 | It sounds a little absurd, does n''t it? |
11304 | It was certain that if Poole were in love with Nora he would do all in his power to keep a poor priest( was it thus they spoke of him?) |
11304 | It was therefore his fate to go in quest of-- what? |
11304 | Just a glass to keep me going, and I will go straight out of your parish, so that none of the disgrace will fall upon you; or-- what do you think? |
11304 | Life? |
11304 | Moran called it a miracle and it seems like one, but will it last? |
11304 | Mr. Poole''s age-- what was it? |
11304 | Nature has given you many gifts: I wonder what will become of you? |
11304 | No matter, I ca n''t stay here, so why should I trouble to discover a reason for my going? |
11304 | Now was that story going to begin again? |
11304 | Now what would the end be? |
11304 | Now you wo n''t be thinking me a fool for having come to see you this evening, Gogarty? |
11304 | Now, do you mean to say that you have found a person who will suit us?... |
11304 | Now, do you think that quite right and fair towards one''s sister?'' |
11304 | Now, how is one to stop in a convent if one''s own sister interferes in one''s confessions?'' |
11304 | Now, what reason does he give for such an extraordinary decision?'' |
11304 | Now, will you be turning the horse up the road? |
11304 | Of what use are signs and omens if the interpretation is always obscure? |
11304 | Of what use to lie in one''s bed when sleep is far and will not be beckoned? |
11304 | Once he was an ardent student in Maynooth, he had been an energetic curate; and now what was he? |
11304 | One thing matters-- do I stay or go?'' |
11304 | Or did she wish to revenge herself? |
11304 | Or was it that he had worn out a certain side of his nature in Bridget Clery''s cottage? |
11304 | Our tempers are part of ourselves? |
11304 | Pass me the tobacco, will you?'' |
11304 | Poole might wish to make a fool of him, but what was her reason for advising him to go abroad? |
11304 | Poole?'' |
11304 | Round by Kilronan or across the Bridge of Keel?'' |
11304 | Save it and let the weasel go supperless? |
11304 | Saved himself from himself,''he repeated;''can anybody be saved from himself?'' |
11304 | Seeing me, he took off his hat-- you know the tall hat he wears-- a hat given him twenty or thirty years ago by whom? |
11304 | Shall we kneel down?'' |
11304 | She might love them independent of their opposition, but how could she love them if she knew they were only born to do wrong? |
11304 | She seemed to him like a spirit, and is n''t the spring like a spirit? |
11304 | Should he not welcome change? |
11304 | So it was said; but what did he know of the souls of the priests with whom he dined, smoked pipes, and played cards? |
11304 | Sometimes the shepherd grows weary of watching, and the question comes, Has a man no duty towards himself? |
11304 | Tell me if such a sin can be forgiven?'' |
11304 | The Mayo cock or the Galway cock?'' |
11304 | The distance was much the same-- a couple of miles shorter by the southern road, no doubt, but what are a couple of miles to an old roadster? |
11304 | The end may be marriage-- with whom? |
11304 | The men''s eyes met, and Father O''Grady said, as if he wished to change the subject:''You were born at Tinnick, were you not?'' |
11304 | They merely wring the will out of us; and well we may ask, Who would care for his life if he knew he was going to lose it on the morrow? |
11304 | This will seem contradictory, for did n''t I say that I could n''t forget your cruelty in my first letter? |
11304 | Was it because he feared that if he once went away he might never come back? |
11304 | Was it in some vain, proselytizing idea that I invited you? |
11304 | Was it not a very pretty idea to cover that end of the garden with rambling roses?'' |
11304 | Was it the ugly cottage that put thoughts of her into his mind? |
11304 | Was its scarlet not finer than Lady Hindlip? |
11304 | Was n''t Patsy Donovan saying to me only yesterday that the Archbishop was a brave man to be letting any roof at all on the abbey? |
11304 | Was the letter he returned to her prompted by Mr. Poole and by a spirit of revenge? |
11304 | We never talked like this before, did we, Gogarty? |
11304 | We shall see, however, what kind of nib he uses, fine or blunt?'' |
11304 | What did she know about fishing? |
11304 | What excuse? |
11304 | What had he confessed? |
11304 | What is his reputation in the literary world?'' |
11304 | What is the spring but an impulse? |
11304 | What matter whether they bloomed a week earlier or a week later? |
11304 | What was to be done? |
11304 | What will you be doing all this time? |
11304 | What will you do then?'' |
11304 | What would be its first principle? |
11304 | When will she write again?'' |
11304 | Where should I be now if it were not for you? |
11304 | Where would I be now if it had n''t been that you kept on with me and brought me back, cured? |
11304 | Which self is the true self-- the peaceful or the choleric? |
11304 | Who amongst us does not remember the old nurse who told him stories of magic and witchcraft? |
11304 | Who can say?'' |
11304 | Who else would take an interest in this forlorn Garranard and its people, the reeds and rushes of existence? |
11304 | Who knows? |
11304 | Who was she that she should come telling him that he lacked experience? |
11304 | Who would think of asking himself if he liked beech- trees, or larches, or willows? |
11304 | Why am I telling it to you?'' |
11304 | Why did he come here?'' |
11304 | Why did she come to Garranard?'' |
11304 | Why do n''t you come to Italy? |
11304 | Why do n''t you write it and send it to me? |
11304 | Why had he never brought her here? |
11304 | Why should he not keep his mind for his own enjoyment and for the enjoyment of his friends, treating it like his pleasure grounds or park? |
11304 | Why should she go away to Berkshire to help Mr. Walter Poole with his literature without giving you longer notice? |
11304 | Why should you be in the way?'' |
11304 | Why, indeed? |
11304 | Will you have patience, and the poor child will be safe?'' |
11304 | Will your reverence listen to me?'' |
11304 | Worse still, what was he becoming? |
11304 | Would n''t any other do just as well for her foolish experiment?'' |
11304 | Would the time ever come when he could think of her without a pain in his heart? |
11304 | Yes; but what is life? |
11304 | You do forgive me?'' |
11304 | You remember Catherine, my servant? |
11304 | You remember the prayer we said, leaning over the bit of wall looking across the bog? |
11304 | You will say,"But what matter? |
11304 | You wo n''t be swimming out to Castle Island, and forgetting that you have confessions at seven?'' |
11304 | You''ll go home straight, wo n''t you?'' |
11304 | You''ll stay and have some dinner with me?'' |
11304 | You''ll stay and have some supper with me?'' |
11304 | and have not prognostications a knack of coming true? |
11304 | and he dropped on his knees crying:''Can I be forgiven if that soul be lost to God? |
11304 | and what will be your answer when your child asks:"Who made me?" |
11304 | my going in quest of the Christian river? |
11304 | not her, but-- He was following what? |
11304 | were n''t you quick enough for her?'' |
11304 | what are you coming here to talk to me in this way for? |
11304 | what matter?'' |
11304 | what use was there in going over all that again? |
