1662727. Who that has sound reason can help seeing that the Divine is not divisible?
1662748. Who that is capable of discerning the essential character of love can not see this?
16627Also that one who from justice does what is just and from what is right does right, has a conscience?
16627Also that one whose life is good will enter the society of angels, and will there see, hear, and speak like a man?
16627And because they are such, they are unwilling to hear anything about faith, saying, What is faith?
16627And do they not grow warm in the measure in which this affection grows warm?
16627But when you let your thought down into the natural lumen which derives from space, will not these things be seen as paradoxes?
16627Can any man of unimpaired reason fail to see that these doings of the bees are not from the natural world?
16627Can anything natural regard use as an end and dispose uses into series and forms?
16627Can you conceive of it as something ethereal, or as something flaming?
16627Do not thought, speech, and action, grow cold in the measure in which the affection which is from love grows cold?
16627Does not affection also beam forth from the face, and there exhibit a type of itself?
16627Does not the body do whatever the mind thinks and wills?
16627Does not thought make the tongue speak, and affection together with thought make the body act?
16627For they say, How can the spirit, when it is spirit, be the man, and how can the soul, when it is soul, be the man?
16627For what is it to act from love without the understanding?
16627For what is it to love self alone, instead of loving some one outside of self by whom one may be loved in return?
16627For what is substance without form?
16627From this who can not see what correspondence is between things spiritual and things natural?
16627How can love and wisdom, which are life from the Lord, act upon what is not a subject, or upon what has no substantial existence?
16627Is it anything?
16627Is it consistent with reason to think that the body acts from obedience simply because the mind so wills?
16627Is it not known by everyone from common perception that a man whose life is good is saved, but that a man whose life is bad is condemned?
16627Is not affection, regarded in itself, spiritual, and the change of countenance, called the expression, natural?
16627Is not the brain, where thought comes forth, complete and organized in every part?
16627Is not this evident also in every living creature, even the smallest?
16627Is not this separation rather than conjunction?
16627Is the body, then, anything but obedience to its mind; and can the body be such unless the mind is in its derivatives in the body?
16627Or how can He, from His place, speak the word, and as soon as it is spoken, creation follow?
16627Reason affirms it: for who can not will and do what he thinks?
16627Think of wisdom, and place it outside of man- is it anything?
16627This a man of discernment can perceive when it is said: If you remove the affection which is from love, can you think anything, or do anything?
16627What has that sun, from which nature springs, in common with a government that vies with and resembles the government of heaven?
16627What is a thing that you do not see?
16627What, in fact, is love unless there be something loved?
16627What, then, would be the result if an angel were even to ascend toward the sun, and come into its fire?
16627Who does not know that affection and thought are spiritual, therefore that all things of affection and thought are spiritual?
16627Who does not know that evils and falsities of every kind can be confirmed?
16627Who does not look before himself to God when he prays, to whatever quarter his face may be turned?
16627Who in the world at the present day is aware that this love in itself is of such a nature?
16627Who otherwise can retain it in himself?
16627Will any one venture to deny that life has its origin where the fibers have their origin?
16627Without organic forms, how can thought inhere; and from thought inherent in nothing can one speak?
16627also that a plurality of Infinites, of Uncreates, of Omnipotents, and of Gods, is impossible?
16627and if you let it down far, will you not reject them?
16627and what is charity?
16627is it not doing?
16627is it not wisdom?
36759An angel beside_ her_?
36759And did she give you one?
36759Can I give up my beautiful face, and become a poor little drudge, like Daisy?
36759Carry her home to her cave; why did you bring her to me?
36759Could n''t you do any better, Daisy, than this,she said,"for your mother''s friend and yours?
36759Did he say any thing about me?
36759Down where?
36759Have you-- have you? 36759 How could I know that?"
36759How could they?
36759Is this all your gratitude, Susan? 36759 Look where?
36759My sister? 36759 O, no-- what could tire him, Maud?
36759Silly girl, where are your spectacles?
36759Was she handsomer than I?
36759Well, what shall I give you for risking your precious life?
36759Well,said the shrill voice of the dame,"will you give me back my glasses now, and keep your tears?"
36759Were her eyes black, or blue like mine? 36759 What can this rock be made of?"
36759What dame?
36759What folly is the meddlesome old dame about, I wonder?
36759What more can he require of me?
36759What was the man''s name? 36759 What''s that-- what''s that?"
36759What''s that?
36759What, ours-- up in heaven?
36759Where was it?
36759Who wants a house that every one else can enjoy as much as we, and a father that is not ashamed to call every dirty beggar his child?
36759Why, Maud, what is this world but a great house that God has built for us? 36759 Why, am I not the same Daisy?
36759Why, have you found so many wicked people, my poor child?
36759Why?
36759Am I changing to a fairy, like the dame?"
36759And are you going to kill your child, out here, with the cold and damp, because your husband''s gone?
36759And can not He who made the lightning govern it?
36759And could you find my hut?
36759And if the beautiful smiling vision was real, why did it always float away?
36759And shall not Maud have some?
36759And what kind of dresses did they wear?"
36759And when you found your sister lying half dead by the roadside,--as you would have been but for my care,--what were you willing to do for her?
36759Are you not ashamed, when I am so hungry and tired, to give me such mean food?"
36759But how many stars do you suppose there are?"
36759But the dame quickly silenced her by asking,"Who has fed, and clothed, and taken care of you and all your kith and kin?
36759Could I find one of the paths, and so climb up to heaven, and find the beautiful Christ I am to love?"
36759Daisy looked up at him then, and asked,"But will you take them away from my mother?
36759Did he have wings?"
36759Did n''t the shop- keeper tell us, at the fair, that one little speck of a pearl cost more than my new gown?
36759Do n''t you know that, when Maud is drowned, there will be no one to separate you, and, as long as she lives, she will not let you be married?"
36759Do you dare tell me that she would marry a cowboy?"
36759Do you remember what the dame said, when she placed the spectacles on little Daisy''s breast?
36759Does he think more of them than he does of us?"
36759For the great God is her Father, and yours, and mine; she is my sister: should I not feel her grief?''"
36759Has the dame been here again?"
36759Have my glasses been of so little use that you put them in your pocket, and choose rather to look through tears?"
36759Have you thought yet what can be the fairy''s name?
36759If God can see through walls, ca n''t we, when we are looking after him?"
36759If the flowers have the same God with us, why do they always look so happy, and beautiful, and young?
36759If your brothers and sisters or parents die, whether by accident or sickness, are you sure that they would leave you such a comforter as Daisy had?
36759May I try?"
36759Now, what of the people?"
36759O, why do not all people find out what a cheap comfort it is to help each other?
36759Suppose we are wiser; why ca n''t we live as they do, mother, and think about God and heaven, instead of always ourselves?"
36759Then Maud would toss her head, and ask,"What is mother but an old woodcutter''s wife, that has worked, perhaps, in my father''s kitchen?"
36759Were any of them handsomer than the rest?
36759What did he say to you?"
36759What shall we name her?
36759Who ever saw God?
36759Who feeds the flowers, mother?"
36759Who gave you the gown on your back and the beauty in your cheeks?
36759Why did n''t you make the child wear my gift?"
36759Yet I may possibly save her; shall I go or stay?"
36759You would not tease a poor crazy man, I hope; and why, then, tease your brother or sister when their senses leave them for a little while?
36759are you sure?
36759do n''t you know I am hungry after all this work?
36759is it you?"
36759then it was I who tired him, and made him sorrowful,"thought Maud; then said, aloud,"But, Daisy, are you sure he took your hand?
13407Among such phenomena,he asks,"how can we draw the line of demarkation, and say,''Here the physical ends, and there the physiological begins''?
13407''But,''you ask,''beyond all of this of which you have told me, what is there-- what is the Centre of it All?''
13407( But where is what I started for so long ago?
13407And if so, what information can you give regarding them?
13407And in our bodies is the Will at work?
13407And where can such a power be located if not in the form itself?
13407And why is it yet unfound?)"
13407And, how does It create?
13407Are you doing this with your reason or with your personal will?
13407But then you cry,''But what am I-- poor mortal thing-- lost among all this inconceivable greatness?''
13407But then, you ask us, from whence comes Force, Matter, and Finite Mind?
13407But what is the Centre?
13407But_ are_ they lost?
13407Can anyone really believe this of The Absolute-- playing like a child, with men and women, worlds and suns, as Its blocks and tin- soldiers?
13407Can it be Matter?
13407Can the germ think, and plan, and move, and grow into a chicken?
13407Can we conceive the Infinite Being as exercising the finite faculty of"dreaming"--is not this childish?
13407Can you accept it?
13407Can you not see the Will behind the curtain here?
13407Can you think of Energy apart from material manifestation?
13407Did you do it with your intellect?
13407Did you never"lose yourself"in thought, or"forget yourself"in an idea?
13407Do you grasp this idea?
13407Do you know just what this Self- Consciousness is, and how it differs from the Physical Consciousness of the lower animals?
13407Do you see the absurdity?
13407Do you see the difference?
13407Do you see the nature of the Final Question?
13407Do you see this plainly?
13407Do you see this?
13407Does not Metempsychosis give us the only possible key?
13407Does not all advanced research show us that in all Matter and Energy there are evidences of the operation of this"Something like Mind"?
13407Does not all this Teaching seem to you like the repetition of some lesson learned long ago?
13407Does not your mind leap ahead of the lesson, and see what is coming next, long before you have turned the pages?
13407Does the leaf feel less important and real from this discovery?
13407Extension of what?
13407From whence could come such an action- causing Desire?
13407From whom did Plato derive his wonderful thought?
13407From whom did Shakespeare inherit his genius?
13407Has not every bit of it been done without your conscious knowledge?
13407Have you ever been foolish enough to open your soul to the crowd, and have it reveal the sacred Truth that rests there?
13407Have you ever committed the folly of throwing spiritual pearls to material swine?
13407Have you ever known of such a thing?
13407Have you ever looked up its origin and real meaning, as given by the standard authorities?
13407Have you not found yourself placed where you unexpectedly were made the bestower of favors upon some almost unknown persons?
13407Have you not spoken of yourself as having been"wrapped in thought?"
13407How did the plant know direction?
13407How do the buzzards float in the air, and make speed without a motion of the wing?
13407How is it that certain birds are able to fly directly against a strong wind, without visible movement of their wings?
13407How, and Why?
13407How?
13407I said to myself,''What is this?
13407I:"Is this annihilation, as some think?
13407If there is any power not from and of the One, from whence comes such power, for there is nothing else outside of the One?
13407In the first place, what"experience"could be gained by the Absolute and Infinite One?
13407Is it Matter?
13407Is it not like remembering something already learned, rather than the learning of some new truth?
13407Is not this Speculative Metaphysics run wild?
13407Is not this as childish as the childishness of the savage, and barbarians, in their Mumbo- Jumbo conceptions?
13407Let us begin by a consideration of what has been called the"Questions of Questions"--the question:"What is Reality?"
13407Manifesting in various forms, as the diamond, graphite, coal, protoplasm-- is it not entitled to respect?
13407Now what causes this life action?
13407Now what is this tendency?
13407Of what can the Substance of the Infinite be composed?
13407Or is the Will at work there?
13407Passing on to the higher animal life-- how do eggs grow into chickens?
13407Pure Energy?
13407QUESTION 1:_"Are there any Brotherhoods of Advanced Occultists in existence, in harmony with the Yogi Teachings?
13407QUESTION III:"_ Does the Yogi Philosophy teach that there is a place corresponding to the''Heavens''of the various religions?
13407QUESTION V:"_ What is that which Occultists call''an Astral Shell,''or similar name?
13407Space?
13407Surely this looks like"Life,"does it not?
13407The Infinite All could not become anything more than It already was-- so why the wish for expression?
13407The immediate force may seem to be a mechanical force, but what is back of that force-- what is the essence of the force?
13407Then how can this work of Creation be accomplished, in view of these difficulties which are apparent even to our finite minds?
13407Then is it Pure Energy?
13407Then this"substance"must be Mind?
13407Then what is Real about ME, you may ask-- surely I have a vivid consciousness of Reality-- is this merely an illusion, or shadow?
13407Then who else than the Infinite caused the Illusion, and why the necessity?
13407Then, is it Force or Energy?
13407To define a thing is to identify it with something else-- and where is the something else with which to identify the Infinite?
13407To what end would such a wish tend?
13407To what state or place does The Path lead?
13407Well may it say to us:"Hast thou been so long time with me, and hast thou not known me?"
13407Well, after a time Duhamel shook the dirt and growing beans out of the cylinder, and what did he find?
13407Well, what is this"substance"of the Absolute?
13407Were you not attracted to these studies, in the first place, by a feeling that you had known it all before, somewhere, somehow?
13407What built you up from single cell to maturity?
13407What could It expect to gain and learn, that it did not already know and possess?
13407What does it all mean?
13407What gives you the greatest Satisfaction and Content in Life?
13407What have we done?
13407What have we really done?
13407What is the explanation of the movements of certain microscopic creatures who lack organs of movement?
13407What is the power in the germ of the egg?
13407What would be accomplished or gained?
13407Which is the greater"miracle"--the Moneron or Man?
13407Who has not been seized at times with the consciousness of a mighty"oldness"of soul?
13407Who has not experienced the consciousness of having_ felt the thing before_--_having thought it some time in the dim past?
13407Who has not gazed at some old painting, or piece of statuary, with the sense of having seen it all before?
13407Who has not had these experiences-- we ask_?
13407Who has not met persons for the first time, whose presence awakened memories of a past lying far back in the misty ages of long ago?
13407Who has not witnessed new scenes that appear old, very old?
13407Who or what exists outside of the One that can manifest even the faintest degree of power of any kind?
13407Whose force, energy, power and motion?
13407Why should the Infinite"play"?--does It need amusement and"fun"like a child?
13407Why?
13407Why?
13407Why?
13407Willis:"But what a mystery this erring mind?
13407what''s that?
4349Is happiness truly as happy as people imagine?
4349Is that all?
4349After all, what is a humble life?
4349And are not almost all the morals, and heroism, and virtue of man summed up in that single choice?
4349And besides, what are the joys to which we bid this somewhat affected farewell?
4349And do you remember, too, that the hour of separation was upon us, and that the arrival of the last boat of all was to be our signal for departure?
4349And further, what right have we thus to sum up an entire existence in the one hour of death?
4349And how should you know, if you have not loved them and lived in their midst, as this soul has loved and lived?
4349And is it not the first duty of those who are happy to tell of their gladness to others?
4349And is not moral suffering the most tyrannical weapon in the armoury of destiny?
4349And is there a thing in this world can be more reassuring, or nearer to us, more profoundly human, than an idea of justice?
4349And though the body may often be powerless to add to its strength, can this ever be true of the soul?
4349And truly, can we imagine that an event shall turn into tragedy between men who have earnestly striven to gain knowledge of self?
4349And truly, viewed from without, what life could be more dreary and colourless, more futile and icily cold, than that of Emily Bronte?
4349And was Eponina''s love other than a sudden lightning flash from this life of the soul, come to her, all unconscious and unprepared?
4349And what alien power can expel from our soul a feeling and thought that we hurl not our selves from its throne?
4349And when hesitation is conscientious, does it not often possess all the elements of duty?
4349And when his wisdom at length has revealed the profounder joys, will it not be in all unconsciousness that he renounces those of lesser worth?
4349And yet, are not joys to be met with on the highways of life that are greater than any misfortune, more momentous even than death?
4349And yet, was not Cato''s idea far greater than the disturbance, or death, that ensued?
4349And, in the first place, why this disdain of to- day?
4349Are we not almost teaching happiness if we do only speak of it; invoking it, if we let no day pass without pronouncing its name?
4349Are we not contending with troubles and doubts of our own?
4349Are we wiser than he as we waver betwixt the rights of human reason and those that circumstance claims?
4349But are we not saddening ourselves, and learning to sadden others, if we refuse to accept all the happiness offered to man?
4349But can the fact that disease is, unhappily, only too prevalent, render it wrong for us ever to speak of health?
4349But how shall the sage, to whom happiness never has come, be aware that wisdom is the one thing alone that happiness neither can sadden nor weary?
4349But if happiness lie yonder side of the wall, must despair and disaster of necessity dwell on the other?
4349But if it be not our reason that chooses what suffering shall bring us, whereby is the choice then made?
4349But if we can scarcely believe that"happiness in crime"be possible, have we more warrant for faith in the"unhappiness of virtue"?
4349But is there a destiny in the world empowered to hold such language?
4349But was this blindness inevitable?
4349But what can the wisdom desire that declares itself thus disenchanted?
4349But what may this wisdom be that we rate thus highly?
4349But where is the sage in Oedipus?
4349But where shall we take our stand, when we pass such a life in review, so as best to discover its truth, to judge it, approve it, and love it?
4349Can any connection exist between such as these and a deep- rooted feeling, a boundless love for humanity, an interest time can not stale?
4349Can any man be worthy of your love?
4349Can not destiny be beautiful and complete in itself, without help from without?
4349Can we conceive a situation in life wherein a man who is truly wise and noble can be made to suffer as profoundly as the man who follows evil?
4349Can we live, it matters not where, and love, and hate, listening for no footfall, spurning no creature?
4349Can you conceive Jesus Christ-- nay, any wise man you have happened to meet-- in the midst of the unnatural gloom that overhung Elsinore?
4349Did not Christ Himself weep as He stood before Lazarus''tomb?
4349Did not love and beauty, happiness and adventure-- did not all that we go in search of along the ways of life congregate in Emily Bronte''s heart?
4349Do happiness and sorrow, then, only exist in ourselves, and that even when they seem to come from without?
4349Do we know what we best had abandon, what we best had defend?
4349Do we not all of us know of heroic deeds whose reward has been only misfortune?
4349Do we not feel, even now, that Cato was right?
4349Do you know a novel of Balzac, belonging to the"Celibataires"series, called Pierrette?
4349Do you remember that one ship had a sail that was nearly black, and that she was the last to come in?
4349Does death occupy more space in life than birth?
4349Does it follow that they did the best that was to be done?
4349Does not love bring more goodness to us than thought can ever convey?
4349Does not the man who conceives it his duty to forswear all happiness renounce something as well that, as yet, has not turned into happiness?
4349For, after all, was it not truth your illusion was seeking, assuming it to have been sincere?
4349Have we indeed an inner life that yields not in reality to the outer life; that is no less susceptible of experience and impression?
4349He who moves not a limb is persuaded, perhaps, he is wise; but was this the purpose wherefor mankind was created?
4349He will believe these things much as wise men believe them; but do you think his manner of belief can be the same?
4349If it be your one hope to meet with an ideal soul, would it not be well that you yourself should endeavour to draw nigh to your own ideal?
4349If love has deceived you, do you think that it would have been better for you all your life to regard love as something it is not, and never can be?
4349Is each deed of the hero not always outside the boundary of reason?
4349Is it Tiresias?
4349Is it fitting that the ray of light should desire to alter the lamp whence it springs?
4349Is it necessary that we should conceive ourselves to be superior to the universe?
4349Is it not a mistake to imagine that time only flies swiftly with those whose hearts are devoured by mighty schemes, which fret and fever their life?
4349Is it not preferable sometimes to act in opposition to our thoughts than never dare to act in accord with them?
4349Is it not the paramount duty of every human being to offer to his destiny all that can be offered to the destiny of man?
4349Is it only to those whose conscience still slumbers that events can seem sad or sterile?
4349Is it possible for a man to smile in his hatred and not borrow the smile of love?
4349Is it to reason or wisdom that heroism should be ascribed?
4349Is not every action of Hamlet induced by a fanatical impulse, which tells him that duty consists in revenge alone?
4349Is not something of happiness to be found in our thus being able to pass by the side of our happiness?
4349Is not the happiness that accident brought to the heart of Eponina within reach of every heart, so the will to possess it be there?
4349Is not the very essence of human destiny, stripped of the details that bewilder us, to be found in the most ordinary lives?
4349Is our true destiny to be found in the things which take place about us, or in that which abides in our soul?
4349Is that conceivable?
4349Is the elevation sufficient wherefrom he looks down on the crimes of Elsinore?
4349Is the sage never to suffer?
4349Is the soul self- sufficient; and is it always the soul that decides, a certain height once gained?
4349Is there need of illusion to keep alive our desire for good?
4349Is your own character, at thirty, the same as it was when you were ten years younger?
4349May a happiness not be encountered that the eye can not see?
4349May it be true then that the last word of an existence is only a word that destiny whispers low to what lies most hidden in our heart?
4349Must his father not die, and his mother, his brothers, his sons-- must all these not die like the rest?
4349Must the life be a failure, useless and valueless, that is not as completely happy as it possibly might have been?
4349Must we take back all we have said?
4349Of what avail to punish him?
4349Or might we not say that it is with the roots of the happiness we cherish within as with roots of great trees?
4349Ought we never to hesitate, then?
4349Our thoughts of love, of justice and loyalty, our thoughts of bold ambition-- what are all these but acorns that fall from the oak in the forest?
4349Shall angels stand guard at each highway through which sorrow can pass into man?
4349Shall no storm ever break on the roof of his dwelling, no traps be laid to ensnare him?
4349Shall we begrudge him such happiness, we, whose eyes can see further?
4349Shall we strive for his consciousness of life, for the religion that pleases his soul, for the conception of the universe that justifies his cares?
4349Shall wife and friends never fail him?
4349Should we not invariably act in this life as though the God whom our heart desires with its highest desire were watching our every action?
4349The children have acted unwisely, perhaps, in their exuberance of life; but why should this distress him?
4349The immense forest is doubtless made up of ordinary branches and stems; but is it not vast, is it not as it should be, seeing that it is the forest?
4349To disdain to- day is to declare oneself a stranger, and what can you hope to do in a world where you shall ever pass as a stranger?
4349To such a question as this who shall dare to reply?
4349Was it not truth that it sought?
4349Was not destiny''s hand laid heavy on Paulus Aemilius, who was fully as wise as Timoleon?
4349Was the penitent thief not saved; and that not alone in the Christian sense of the word, but in its fullest, most perfect meaning?
4349We love to throw the dim light of our reason on to our unconsciousness: why not let it play on what we term the unconsciousness of the universe?
4349Were the flames to retreat before such men, were the waters to open and death to hesitate, what were righteousness or heroism then?
4349Were the gods defying the sage, and how would the sage reply?
4349What becomes of the refuge, then, where wisdom keeps watch over happiness?
4349What can be less abnormal than the ocean, which covers two- thirds of the globe; and yet, what is there more vast?
4349What can we say?
4349What is an act of virtue that we should expect such mighty reward?
4349What matter whether the event fall on our neighbour''s roof or our own?
4349What merit in being just ourselves if we be not convinced of the absolute injustice of fate?
4349What shall she do?
4349What soul that were sure of reward could ever claim to be good?
4349What would Christ, all the heroes, have done had their reason not learned to submit?
4349What would she have entrapped in her snares?
4349When shall we cease to believe that death, and not life, is important; that misfortune is greater than happiness?
4349Whence comes this rule that I thus propound?
4349Where could the virtue of man find more everlasting foundation than in the seeming injustice of God?"
4349Where do we find the fatality in"Hamlet,""King Lear,"in"Macbeth"?
4349Where have we learned that death fixes the value of life, and not life that of death?
4349Where shall the virtue of man find more everlasting foundation than in the seeming injustice of God?
4349Where was it written that Laertes, Ophelia, Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude, should die-- where, save in Hamlet''s pitiful blindness?
4349Where was it, in body or soul, that grim fatality lurked?
4349Where were the hearth, the bed, the table, stool, and basin?
4349Which of us finds not, unsought, many thousands of reasons for sorrow?
4349Which of us, had he to choose, but would rather be Pierrette than Rogron?
4349Who knows?
4349Who that has a heart within him can doubt the truth of her words, or think without longing of the darkness that so great a love illumined?
4349Why conclude, from the fact that Socrates and Antigone met with unhappy ends, that it was their wisdom or virtue brought unhappiness to them?
4349Why harass our soul with endeavour to locate the infinite?
4349Why not speak as though mankind were always on the eve of great certitude, of great joy?
4349Why seek justice where it can not be?
4349Why should disillusion distress you, if you are a man of honest intention, if you strive to be just, and of service; if you seek to be happy and wise?
4349Why should we not say that wisdom is the triumph of reason divine over reason of man?
4349Why should we think that the woman I speak of would have known a more brilliant destiny in Venice, Florence, or Rome?
4349Why speak of destiny when a simple thought had sufficed to arrest all the forces of murder?
4349Why strive of our own free will to enlarge the domain of the inevitable?
4349Why, when we try to sum up a man''s destiny, keep our eyes fixed only on the tears that he shed, and never on the smiles of his joy?
4349Would it have dared to overstep the shining, denouncing barrier that his presence would have imposed, and maintained, in front of the palace gates?
4349Would life be endurable if we did not obey many truths that our reason rejects?
4349Would not the true happiness of virtue be destroyed?
4349Would such an illusion not warp your most significant actions; would it not for many days hide from you some part of the truth that you seek?
4349Would that noble sovereign''s soul have been hopelessly crushed?
4349Would the hero be crushed by his sorrow, or would sorrow acknowledge its master?
4349Would they have contained aught besides the pure light that streams from the lofty soul, as it grows more beautiful still in misfortune?
4349Would you rather live on in the world of your dreams and your errors than in the world that is real?
4349and does it need superhuman effort to recognise that revenge never can be a duty?
4349and is it not of the nature of happiness to be less manifest than misfortune, to become ever less apparent to the eye as it reaches loftier heights?
4349and is our duty most faithfully done when we ourselves are wholly unconscious that this thing that we do is a duty?
4349and is there a truth that can stifle the love of truth in the depths of a loyal heart?
4349and must not thousands and tens of thousands be lost and rot in the lichen ere a single tree spring to life?
4349and where can it be, save in our soul?
4349and yet, who would venture to say that the hero is not wiser by far than the sluggard who quits not his chair because reason forbids him to rise?
4349did not both his sons die, one five days before his triumph in Rome, and the other but three days after?
4349virtue that is happy because it is noble and pure, that is noble and pure because it desires no reward?
4349was bewildered: do we know what ought to be done?
3728A butcher, p''raps, or an undertaker?
3728A dressmaker? 3728 And I suppose he ca n''t divorce her, because of that?"
3728And he''d twigged right enough you were gone on him?
3728And how often were you alone with him?
3728And they never need to pretend anything, I suppose? 3728 And what about his old sketch of a wife?"
3728And what do they teach you at college, miss, eh?
3728And what else was there to say, but yes or no? 3728 And what news have you from your dear mother?"
3728And who IS your ma, my dear? 3728 And you, Laura?"
3728Another like the last? 3728 Arithmetic, eh?
3728Blue? 3728 But as you are here, Robby said I had better stay at home to- day.--Now what would you like to do?"
3728But she''s not a dressmaker, is she?
3728But why not? 3728 Carrie Isaacs, what are you laughing like that for?"
3728Change my room?
3728Cricket''s a lovely game... do n''t you think so?
3728D''you know, Miss Ra... Ra... Rambotham--he made as if he could not get her name out--"d''you know that I''m a great man for scent?
3728DID you see Puggy''s boots again? 3728 DIDN''T she like her bread and butter, poor little thing?"
3728Did n''t I SAY he was a bad''un?
3728Did n''t Mrs. Gurley tell you what to do?
3728Did you do it on purpose?
3728Did you knock this jug over or did Pin?
3728Do any of you know the song?
3728Do n''t you know you''re not ALLOWED to stay upstairs?
3728Do you know it, dear? 3728 Do you mean things like the AIR IN G WITH VARIATIONS?
3728Do you play?
3728Do you think I''m making it for my own pleasure?
3728Do you think that would be better?
3728Do you think trains give you dinners?
3728Do you think you ever will?
3728Embroidery? 3728 Ever seen a gondola?"
3728Evvy, you''re not going to MARRY that horrid man?
3728French? 3728 Getting hungry?"
3728Got anything new in the way of clothes?
3728Gracious!--whatever is it?
3728Guess he''s pretty sick of being tied to an old gin like that?
3728Have you seen the questions?--no? 3728 Her?
3728Here, little one, have you learned your verse?
3728How CAN you be so vulgar, Laura? 3728 How can you if you''re not here?"
3728How dare you cut off your hair? 3728 How do you know?
3728How many servants do you keep?
3728How much have you got a year?
3728How old are you?
3728How on earth can you cry over a book? 3728 How on earth would you say:''We had not however rid here so long, but should have tided it up the river''?
3728How''s that shy little mouse of a girl we had here a month or two ago?
3728How''s your ma?
3728Hullo, Ziely, what are you deep in?
3728Hullo, you kid,she said,"what''s YOUR name?"
3728Hullo, you two, what are you gassing about?
3728I do n''t mean to, M. P.--But what IS truth, anyhow?
3728I hope, Marina, you told Graves about those empty jam- jars he did n''t take back last time?
3728I never heard anyone who could talk as well as he does when he likes.--Can you keep a secret, Laura? 3728 I s''pose you often come here?"
3728I say, Chinky, what do you do when a boy''s gone on you?
3728I say, what did you poke me so hard for?
3728I say, who on earth trimmed your hat?
3728I should n''t think you did.--But I say, does your mother let you wear other people''s clothes? 3728 I suppose you think no end of yourself going to boarding- school?"
3728Is it really?
3728It''s Melb''m you''ll be boun''for I dessay?
3728It''s so difficult, is it not, to accompany oneself?
3728Just look at that Laura Rambotham again, will you?
3728Just positively scrumptious, and..."And what''d he do?
3728Laura, good heavens, what are you doing at the window? 3728 Laura, how can you?"
3728Laura, where are you?
3728Let me see-- what was her name again?
3728Look here, you surely do n''t expect me to be an old maid, do you?--ME?
3728Me? 3728 Mine?
3728Monkey, if you''re so sharp you''ll cut yourself!--Young lady, do you happen to come from Warrenega?
3728Mrs. Gurley, please, do you think it would matter very much if I only took half this verb today? 3728 Not bad for the kid.--Come on, Kid, will you have a walk round the garden?"
3728Of course-- didn''t you know? 3728 Oh, Dante, is it?"
3728Oh, HOW do you know?
3728Oh, I meant much-- if you played much?
3728Oh, how CAN you say such a horrid thing?
3728Oh, how COULD she buy such a thing? 3728 Oh, mother, wo n''t she really get any dinner?"
3728Oh, that''s it, is it? 3728 Oh, what ARE you going to do, Laura?"
3728Old Anne? 3728 Ooh!--wouldn''t you like to know?
3728Or the Doge''s palace?--or a black- cloaked assassin?--or a masked lady?
3728Perhaps one of the others would play for you?
3728Perhaps you talked too much yourself-- and about yourself?
3728Pray, are you not a dissenter?
3728Sapphira up to her tricks again, is she?
3728Second- hand? 3728 Soon, now?"
3728Sorry for a thief?
3728Sure he can afford to buy it?
3728Then I''ve the pleasure of knowing your mother.--Tall dark woman, is n''t she?
3728Then you''re not going to tell me?
3728Think I could have seen her if I did n''t?
3728Those? 3728 Tired?"
3728To boardin''-school? 3728 Told you to be as dull and long- winded as that?
3728Truly? 3728 WILL you, Maisie, be kind enough to allow me to know my own tastes best, and not dictate to me what I shall eat?"
3728Well, I suppose you''re ready now?
3728Well, and so this is the young lady fresh from the halls of learning, is it?
3728Well, but I suppose he was alive once was n''t he, duffer? 3728 Well, perhaps you would n''t mind staying in then?
3728Well, perhaps you would play us something yourself now?
3728Well, then, what IS all the fuss about?
3728Well, well, and so the little girl''s goin''to school, is she? 3728 Well, well, let''s call in the cats!--By the way, Miss Ra... Ra... Rambotham, are you aware that this son of mine is a professed lady- killer?"
3728Well, what about him? 3728 Well, why in the name of all that''s holy did he take her?"
3728Well... well, he''s just the most-- oh, I do n''t know how to say it, girls-- the MOST----"Just scrumptious, I suppose, eh?
3728What IS the matter with you girls down there?
3728What are you doing, Laura?
3728What are you going to do, Laura?
3728What business has she to have secrets with you?
3728What did he die of?
3728What did she want?
3728What do you look so black for?
3728What have they been saying to you, Laura?
3728What is he?
3728What is it, dear?
3728What on earth did he marry her for?
3728What on earth''s the matter with you?
3728What on earth''s the matter? 3728 What on earth''s the matter?"
3728What were you doing?
3728What''n earth more d''you want? 3728 What''s AMARE?"
3728What''s the matter with you? 3728 What''s up with you, old Tweedledum?
3728What''s up?
3728What''s your father?
3728What''s yours?
3728What, liar? 3728 What?
3728What? 3728 What?
3728Whatever is the matter?
3728Where do you come from?
3728Where does your uncle hang out?
3728Wherever are you goin'', my dear, so alone?
3728Wherever did YOU learn Latin?
3728Who knows?
3728Who made your dress?
3728Who''s talking down there?
3728Whoever did it? 3728 Why has she got so red?"
3728Why not?
3728Why, Laura, you''re not ashamed of it, are you?--that mother does sewing?
3728Why, Miss Laura, do n''t you know your ma wants you?
3728Why, goodness gracious, what''s this?
3728Why, she''ll be in the train, stupid,''ow can she?
3728Why, what is this?
3728Why, you do n''t mean to say a kid like you''s in the Second Principia already?
3728Whyever did you do it?
3728Will you come up to the study?
3728Wish? 3728 With MUTTON, Robby dear?"
3728Would n''t you like to wear a ring on one of them?
3728Would you wear it, if I did?
3728Yes, bully.--I say, IS my waist all right?
3728Yes, but s''pose one was awfully sweet on you and you rather liked him?
3728Yes, what is it?
3728Yes, you can be civil now, ca n''t you?
3728You asked to have me?
3728You do n''t imagine you''re a Scott, do you? 3728 You go to Scots''Church then, do you?"
3728You know Latin, do n''t you? 3728 You soft, did n''t you hear what she said?"
3728You''re one yourself.--What does she mean, Evvy?
3728You? 3728 Your hat?
3728''s beginning already?
3728... Greek?
3728... Latin?
3728... any more than I do?"
3728... nasty tarradiddles about people who''d been so nice to you?
3728... who told you?"
3728Ai n''t you ashamed of yourself"--he spoke to Pin--"pipin''your eye like that?
3728All your clothes in there?"
3728And Laura?
3728And as Laura did not reply:"What was she doing, Jessie?"
3728And besides, was not a boy, a handsome boy, waiting for her, and expecting her?
3728And how''s your dear mother?"
3728And she has a back drive, too, by Jove, that-- you play, of course?"
3728And to Laura:"Did you say you did n''t know it, dear?"
3728And you promise faithfully never to take it off?"
3728Are those ghosts, those things behind the man, or what?"
3728As poor as all that?"
3728As she passed Laura, too, she put out her tongue and said:"Now then, goggle- eyes, what have you got to stare at?"
3728Bertha only laughed at this, in a teasing way:"Yes, is n''t it?"
3728But that does n''t mean that I''m never going to marry at all, does it?"
3728But when the third girl put the regulation question:"What''s your name and what''s your father?"
3728But you''ll send me all you write-- all YOUR books-- won''t you, Cupid?
3728Can I come in next to you for a minute?"
3728Can you do away with the Bible, pray?"
3728Come, come, my dear, what''s the matter?
3728D''you hear?--Why, whatever''s your ma thinkin''of to send such a little chick as you to boardin''-school?
3728D''you want to be after gettin''sunstruck?"
3728Did n''t you enjoy yourself?"
3728Did you... hm... learn that piece here?"
3728Do you think I''d have asked to have you, if I hated it so much?"
3728Do you want to deafen me?"
3728Do you want to tell me I do n''t know what length you''re to wear your dresses?"
3728Does it want to know?--say, Laura, who''s your mash?"
3728Dreaming?
3728For he laughed quite briskly as he asked;"What''s a kid like you know about it?"
3728For it''s my opinion I sha n''t have enough left to shampoo my eyebrows.--Bob, is it you?"
3728For who believed in old nurses nowadays?
3728Have you ever been in Venice?"
3728Have you utterly no respect for the truth?"
3728He could n''t have seen half he told about?"
3728He wrote a book, did n''t he, called FAUST?
3728How are you, dear?"
3728How are you?
3728How goes it?
3728How much more?"
3728However does she do it?"
3728I hope I did right?"
3728I say, you know about that ring?
3728INFANDUM, REGINA, JUBES RENOVARE DOLOREM-- isn''t that the way of it?
3728If nobody used it?"
3728In the reception- room Marina remarked at once:"Hullo!--is THIS the new dress your mother wrote us about?"
3728Is my finger dry?
3728It was only yesterday I wanted to look at some embroidery on her apron-- a rather pretty new stitch-- and do you think she''d let me see it?
3728Just like that one o''Sam MacFarlane''s that popped off last Christmas-- isn''t she, Peter?"
3728Kayser, do you vant to buy a dawg?''"
3728Laura, where are you?
3728Like a parrot-- ain''t she?"
3728Must she at every step put them out of countenance?
3728Now where have I heard that name?"
3728Or a big, arresting thing like the Retreat of the Ten Thousand, or Hannibal''s March over the Alps?
3728Or have you gone in for yellow ochre this time?"
3728Over the tummy, up to the chin.--Now, who''s been at it?
3728P.?"
3728Red and yellow, do n''t you think?"
3728Robby?
3728SEMPER EADEM... do you like that, Laura?"
3728She?
3728That child''ll come to a bad end yet.--How do you like that colour, Miss C.?"
3728That dreadful man your uncle?"
3728To parlezvous about old Shepherd''s sermons?
3728Twisting her fingers, in and out, she moistened her lips with her tongue.--When, oh, when would it begin?
3728Was here, now, before them all, and Bob in particular, the shameful secret of the embroidery to come to light?
3728Was there ever such a name?"
3728Was there ever such a tiresome child?
3728Well then, why on earth try to write wooden, second- hand rubbish like that?"
3728Well, I''m glad none of MY uncles are so rummy.--I say, does he leave it at front doors himself in the morning?"
3728What did it matter now to anyone what his attitude had been, more than two hundred years ago, to all those far- away, dream- like countries?
3728What do you mean?"
3728What in all the world would she do next?
3728What is it?"
3728What made you tell them?"
3728What on earth did she cry for?
3728What on earth have you got on your back?"
3728What scheme was the birdlike Lolo hatching against her?
3728What shall I do if she does?"
3728What sort?
3728What was he before he was dead?"
3728What would happen to her?
3728What''s blue?"
3728What''s hardest?"
3728What''s the old fool mean by that?"
3728What''s your name?"
3728When am I to get it?
3728Where did you say you were going to have the dress made?"
3728Where would YOU get it?"
3728Who says so?
3728Who''s your sister?"
3728Why could it not have been a question about Bourke and Wills, or the Eureka Stockade, or the voyages of Captain Cook?
3728Why could she not have said Sarah, the servant, the maid- of- all- work?
3728Why did n''t you come to me?
3728Why do you never walk with me nowadays, Laura?
3728Why do you want to change it?
3728Why must I always be odd man out?"
3728Why on earth had such a far- fetched excuse leapt to her tongue?
3728Why, oh why, had she not foreseen this possibility?
3728Would she perhaps be turned out of the house?
3728Would to- morrow ever come?
3728Yet what else could I do?
3728You do n''t like them either, Evvy, do you?
3728You do n''t want me to tell stories, I suppose?"
3728You do n''t want to say, I hope, that he did n''t believe in the Bible?"
3728You have n''t forgotten?"
3728You want to put it on us now, do you?
3728You want to stuff us you do n''t know why she''s gone?"
3728You''re nearly sixteen.--Why not go on working for your B.A.?"
3728cried Bertha, and dealt out a couple of her rough and friendly punches.--"I say, who''s on for a race up the garden?"
3728have n''t I said they were n''t there?
3728who?"
18507128. Who does not know from the Word that everyone is allotted a life after death according to his deeds?
18507212. Who does not talk of fortune?
18507224. Who can not see that it is the internal from which the external exists and that consequently the external has its essence from the internal?
1850727- 45) divine providence has a heaven from mankind for its purpose?
185075. Who does not believe that his little ones are in heaven and that after death he will see his wife, whom he has loved?
185076. Who contradicts when something is said about the lot or state of those who have passed from time into eternal life?
1850777. Who can not from his faculty called rationality understand that a given good is serviceable to society, and a given evil harmful to society?
18507A man may ask:"What is light` in itself''?
18507Again I inquired,"What is the nature of those enjoyments?"
18507Against what manner of providence are the arguments valid?
18507And acknowledge further that man is to remove evils of himself, but still acknowledge that he does so from the Lord?
18507And also that the devil infuses evils into the thoughts and leads astray and incites one to commit evils?
18507And as each relies on what rules him in order to become greater, and aspires to be greatest, how can he see that God exists?
18507And does not much happen by chance?
18507And finally from a first or from underived being?
18507And is spiritual good anything other than the enjoyment and pleasure of perceiving the beauty and harmony?
18507And the more he loves him, the more he fears hurting him?
18507And what man, speaking in favor of divine providence and of God in his reasoning, is not speaking from the spiritual or internal man?
18507And who can dispose the infinite varieties of life among men but He who is life itself, that is, love itself and wisdom itself?
18507And who does not know by experience that the external can appear out of accord with the essence it has from the internal?
18507Are the Father and He not one then, like soul and body?
18507Are they to be believed or not?
18507As this is man''s situation, what then is his proprium?
18507Asked"What then is God?
18507Asked,"Would you grant that divine love and wisdom are life itself?"
18507But which is true, the latter or the former?
18507But who does not see, if he opens his eyes, that these are empty words, without reality because nothing of good is in them?
18507But who knows this today?
18507Can I not make true whatever I will?"
18507Can I not''acknowledge God when I learn for certain that God there is?
18507Can anyone reasonably think that the Lord can enter where the devil reigns, or heaven be where hell is?
18507Can anyone speak so unless he inwardly believes it?
18507Can anything exist except from a prior self?
18507Can it be called good if it is without affection and perception?
18507Can it impart and then take away?
18507Can man be saved without being reformed first?
18507Can not a woman receive more than one without harm?
18507Can not offspring be born of it, too?
18507Can one believe in it until he sees it?"
18507Can one deny that He has done so for the sake of the end in view, namely salvation?
18507Can such a state in a man be changed except by the evils being removed in the external man?
18507Can the idea exist in any other thought than thought about self and the world, and does it not really mean that the world is all and eternity nothing?
18507Can there be anything in its progress which does not proceed with all constancy according to the laws of divine providence?
18507Can there be anything in its progress which does not proceed with all constancy according to the laws of divine providence?
18507Can these views be reconciled in any other way than this, that what the church teaches is the truth, and what the world teaches is the appearance?
18507Can what is dead govern anything?
18507Consequently that these evils are in themselves injuries, and those goods in themselves benefits?
18507Do not bats and owls have eyes to see light as darkness and darkness as light?
18507Do not each and all things in tree or shrub proceed constantly and wonderfully from purpose to purpose according to the laws of their order of things?
18507Do not each and all things in tree or shrub proceed constantly and wonderfully from purpose to purpose according to the laws of their order of things?
18507Does anyone know this?
18507Does divine providence lie concealed in this?
18507Does he think they exist?
18507Does he want to know anything further about either truth or good?
18507Does it not laugh then at prudence and wisdom?
18507Does not one who loves another fear to hurt him?
18507Does not the like occur between husband and wife?
18507Does not the soul, which disposes the interiors, dispose the actions also which spring from them?
18507Does not the world do so?
18507Does not what is itself alive govern what is lifeless?
18507Does one not have light in his dreams in the middle of the night?
18507Does reason not insist that to be any of these and to love God is a contradiction?
18507Does sound reason not dictate that such a man can not be saved?
18507Does such a person think of God or of eternal life?
18507Evil affections and the thoughts from them to make one devil which is hell, and good affections and the thoughts from them one Lord in heaven?
18507For a person may think,"What does the acknowledgment effect when the Lord is omnipotent and wills the salvation of all?
18507For instance, who would see a spiritual truth unless the Word taught it?
18507For men may ask themselves and one another,"Why does divine providence, if it exists, reveal such things for the first time now?"
18507For who can understand that the world could be created as there described?
18507Further, how can divine essence from eternity beget another and produce still another who proceeds from them both?
18507Has not this house been made a den of robbers?
18507Have those with standing a larger measure of happiness than those with little standing or even the least standing, like farmers and their hands?
18507How can a murderer, thief, adulterer, or false witness love God?
18507How can it do so in deceptions and schemes?
18507How does anything spiritual enter into this?"
18507How else can there be any acknowledgment which in its essence is faith?
18507How, then, can heaven enter hell when a gulf is fixed between them so great that there is no crossing from one to the other?
18507I asked,"What shall I write?"
18507I asked,"Why did you infest the good?"
18507I then asked,"What is your enjoyment?"
18507I then said,"Do you find them enjoyable?"
18507If it is asserted that faith is the medium of salvation, what man can not have this faith?
18507If one asks,"Is life not dissipated then on the death of the body?"
18507If then he is rational and spiritual in external form only, and not at the same time in his internal form, is he man?
18507If then you will think spiritually, as you can if you will, will you not see wisdom in all this?
18507If you regard them then solely from the confirmations of them, will you not be seeing falsities as truth?
18507If, however, you take away repentance, or what is the same thing, separate life from religion, what is left except the words,"Have mercy on me"?
18507In fact, who does?
18507In regard to the first essential of the church, which is an acknowledgment of God, they only think,"What is God?
18507Indeed, could he receive it?
18507Is He not life itself?"
18507Is darkness not light, therefore, and light darkness?"
18507Is he different from a player on the stage or from an ape with an almost human face?
18507Is it anything but just an expression?
18507Is it anything else or more than an expression which people get from a priest?
18507Is it not by prudence, wisdom, cunning and malice that all things are done in the world?
18507Is it not enough for him to know the externals and dispose them for health of body and mind?
18507Is it not from Him who has it in its full might, that is, who possesses it in and from Himself?
18507Is it not his state then that a pent- up fire of lusts of evil consumes the interiors of his mind and lays them waste even to the entrance?
18507Is it not merely a thought?
18507Is it not thought that He is God and Man, God from Jehovah the Father of whom He was conceived and Man from the Virgin Mary from whom He was born?
18507Is not all else necessity or consequence?
18507Is not light only something which appears in the eye according to the eye''s condition?
18507Is not that true which I make true?"
18507Is not the devil such?
18507Is not the temporal relatively nothing and does it not become nothing when it is past?"
18507Is not what is called beautiful truth to it, and what is called enjoyable good to it?
18507Is not what is called harmonious truth to it, and what is called pleasing good to it?
18507Is one person more blessed and happier than another for it?
18507Is something different to be said in relation to the organic substances of the mind?
18507Is spiritual truth anything other than beauty and harmony in spiritual matters and objects?
18507Is there a church whose doctrine is not based on the precepts of the Decalog?
18507Is there any evil in it?
18507Is there love or mercy in those loves?
18507Is there such a thing?
18507Is this not in itself imaginary?
18507It can be replied,"What of that?
18507It is undeniable that all which one sees, hears, smells, tastes or feels flows in; why not then what he thinks and wills?
18507It may be said that it is to be believed and not thought about; but who does not think about what he is told must be believed?
18507Lest it be thought these are meant, Paul explains, saying at that point, Do we not then make the law void through faith?
18507Let wisdom speak in you, and you will exclaim in astonishment,"Who does not see the divine in such things?
18507May it not seem like one or two days?
18507May its blackness not be said to be only a shading which is not the real fact?
18507May not these enjoy more happiness when it is well with them and they are content with their lot?
18507May one not know from this that only he is a human being who is inwardly what he desires others to think he is?
18507Moreover, in the fervor of his belief he may ask,"How can God see so many condemned in hell when He can save them all in an instant from pure mercy?"
18507Moreover, what is greater or less standing, or greater or less wealth?
18507Moreover, who does not see that the difference between the two loves is like that between what is principal and what is instrumental?
18507Must he not hate God?
18507Must he not then acknowledge as a consequence that man is to do good and think truth of himself, yet always acknowledge that these are from the Lord?
18507Must not a house be steady for a variety of things to be done in it by a person?
18507Must not divine love do this, then, being infinite?
18507Of truth he says,"What is truth except that which confirms this faith?"
18507On the question,"Is providence only general or also detailed?"
18507Or a graven image or statue?"
18507Or an idea or fancy?
18507Or the prior self exist except from one prior to it?
18507So he neglects all until he does not know what evil is; what then is he to search out and see in himself?
18507Some of them remark,"What is truth?
18507Some therefore ask,"What is truth?
18507Suppose thought is sustained for ten or twelve hours; may not the length of time seem like one or two hours?
18507Tell someone farther along in years,"Do not do this because it is contrary to the Decalog"and who gives heed?
18507Tell someone, not that a given thing is good, but simply say"good"--is good anything?
18507That there is talk of the kind in the church is known, but who believes that it is so?
18507The external senses died with the body, did they not?
18507The reply can be,"What of it?
18507The sense- ridden ask,"How can the soul be anything else?
18507Therefore the Lord says, Why do you call Me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?
18507They ask,"How can anyone be wise of himself or do good of himself?"
18507They ask,"What does acknowledgment accomplish?
18507They say to themselves,"Why should I search out evil or good?
18507They still think,"What is the spiritual except a finer natural?"
18507They tell themselves,"What is this to me?
18507Thinking more deeply, one asks oneself, How can the divine essence, which is infinite, be divided?
18507To be saved, must he not first be led away from these evils and thus be reformed?
18507To fit a world of laws must not the divine care have its laws, too?
18507To what else can He look from His infinite being?
18507To what else in mankind of which He forms His heaven?
18507Was it not that they might know what evils are sins to be shunned?
18507Was it only that they might know and believe, but do nothing?
18507Was it such or such?
18507What are truth and good to the hearing?
18507What can exist apart from being, and what can being be from which is all other being except being itself?
18507What do they intend?"
18507What does it mean to say that it is contrary to God?"
18507What else can divine providence then have for its end than the reformation and salvation of mankind?
18507What else is"This I will,"or"This I understand,"or"I love this,"or"I think this"?
18507What eulogizer, mourning the dead, does not exalt them to heaven and place them among the angels conversing with them and sharing their joy?
18507What has the heat in common then with what is evil and noxious?
18507What heretic can see his falsities unless he welcomes the genuine truth of the church?
18507What indeed is faith without its laws?
18507What is black in itself but white?
18507What is good but enjoyment, and divine good but eternal blessedness?
18507What is left except necessities, consequences and the fortuitous in which there is no semblance of divine providence?
18507What is life without joy and pleasure?
18507What is light when the eye is closed?
18507What is more easily done?
18507What is more unquiet at heart, more often provoked, or more violently enraged than self- love?
18507What is"universal providence"then but a metaphysical term, and nothing but a term?
18507What life has he then?
18507What man of you, if his son shall ask bread, will give him a stone?
18507What man, speaking in favor of nature and of human prudence in his reasoning, is not speaking from the natural or external man?
18507What more is needed than this ocular proof?
18507What need then to do more than cry,"Have mercy on me, O God"?
18507What priest does not speak so to the dying?
18507What then will the Lord not do, who is mercy itself?
18507What would be the point in considering them before what providence is has been considered?
18507What would eternal life be without this?
18507What would they do with the light in which the spiritual sense of the Word is?
18507What, again, is good which has no relation to anything?
18507What, then, are standing and riches to the wicked but stumbling blocks?
18507What, then, is standing except an idea, unless it attaches to the office or the use?
18507When he can not do this, what would happen if he disposed internals also?
18507When one sees angels in paintings or statuary does he not recognize them as such?
18507When the natural sense is, why not the spiritual sense?
18507When you do those abominable things?
18507Which is?
18507Which of you moreover can by taking thought add a cubit to his stature?
18507Who can believe that unless man had full liberty, he not only could not be saved but would even perish utterly?
18507Who can communicate what is divine and implant it in the heart except the Divine Himself from whom it is and of whom it treats?
18507Who can feel the cruelty of vengeance except one who is in good from love to the neighbor?
18507Who can feel this pleasure unless what he is affected by seems to be his?
18507Who can not see that those who do such things do not love the neighbor as themselves?
18507Who can not think and speak so, with trust and confidence, too, even when he is thinking of hell and eternal condemnation?
18507Who can not understand, if he will, that what is being perfected to eternity can not possibly be made perfect in an instant?
18507Who can repulse it if it opposes him?
18507Who can sense the spiritual uncleanness of adultery except one who is in the cleanliness of chastity?
18507Who can think of it otherwise?
18507Who can think that He was conceived from two Divines, and if from His own that this was His Father?
18507Who can wish to know or to understand anything except that an affection of his takes pleasure in it?
18507Who does not acknowledge it by speaking of it and know something of it by experience?
18507Who does not acknowledge that everyone leaves external things behind with the body and enters into internal things on becoming a spirit?
18507Who does not feel a heightening of enjoyment in them as he succeeds in them and practices them uninhibited?
18507Who does not perceive it within himself when he hears that the internal man is to be purified first and the external by it?
18507Who does not see that a judge is to serve justice, a magistrate the common welfare, a king his kingdom, and that it is not to be the other way around?
18507Who does not see that conjunction with God is life eternal and salvation?
18507Who does not see that good should be the head, and that when it is, the Lord is there?
18507Who does not see that man would have no freedom then?
18507Who does not see that the cause is not in the heat but in the recipient subject?
18507Who does not see that when evil is the head, the devil is there?
18507Who else can bring about this unity?
18507Who else can combine affections into a form?
18507Who feels that it is evil to love himself above others?
18507Who gives thought to the enjoyments of his love?
18507Who has seen Him?"
18507Who is admitted to Holy Communion without this admonition and precept?
18507Who knows even what an affection of the love of good is, or that these affections are innumerable, in fact, infinite?
18507Who of himself can believe otherwise?
18507Who sees anything of it?
18507Who should know the divine guidance if not the men and women in heaven who have obviously enjoyed it?
18507Who that knows anything about man''s life does not see the impossibility of this?
18507Who then can not know that so far as man shuns and is averse to evil he shuns and is averse to hell?
18507Who then can not make this a matter of his reason if only he will?
18507Who thinks that God and Man in Him, or His Divine and His Human, are one person, and are one as soul and body are?
18507Who thinks that they are spectres, still less souls or minds hovering in the universe?
18507Who thinks then that they are bodiless spirits or airy entities or clouds, as do some of the erudite?
18507Who, on hearing a Gentile say he will not do this or that evil because it is contrary to his God, does not say to himself,"Is this person not saved?
18507Who, then, knows that this is an evil, though it is the head of evils?
18507Why evil, when it does not condemn me?
18507Why good, when it does not save me?
18507Why is it said that this is new?
18507Why should not spiritual intelligence and wisdom increase as well?
18507Why should not the supreme end, a heaven from the human race, proceed in similar fashion?
18507Why should not the supreme purpose, a heaven from the human race, proceed in similar fashion?
18507Why then do not Reformed Christians believe it, who know it from the Word?
18507Why, indeed, should English not be allowed its own sentence structure and word order?
18507Will you find fifty in a thousand who are loves of God, among whom, moreover, only a few aspire to eminence?
18507Would he not be like one called a dullard or a clod?
18507Would man not be an empty nothing then?
18507Would that not be to give what will perish, what in itself is nothing, coming to nothing when it perishes?
18507Would that not be turned into darkness?
18507Would there not be darkness that could be dispelled only by the light in which the Word is, and only with one who wishes to be enlightened?
18507Would this not amount to calling the Lord unmerciful?
18507Yet who does not know that only God is to be invoked, and not any dead person?
18507Yet who does not see that a person, whatever his function or standing, is to serve the affairs which he administers, and not they him?
18507Yet who knows what it is?
18507[ 2] But consider: what is universal providence when the details are taken from it?
18507[ 2] First:_ The external can not compel the internal, but the internal can compel the external._ Who can be forced to believe or love?
18507[ 2] Many also, as they listen to others, think to themselves,"Do those speaking think inwardly in themselves as they think in utterance?
18507[ 2] Today is not the Decalog like a small, closed book or document, opened only in the hands of children and the young?
18507[ 2] Who can not see from reason that other things are meant than those recorded literally like history?
18507[ 2] Who can possibly have a perception of one God unless He is one in person?
18507[ 3] But what is thought of the Lord today?
18507[ 3] I asked again, Why have you taught your children the Decalog?
18507[ 5] But what was done?
18507[ 5] Who does not know that a man is what he is inwardly?
18507[ 7] But one may ask, What are affection and thought then?
18507[ 7] I asked,"What more shall I write from you?"
18507and in your name done many mighty things?
18507and of good,"What is good except what is in me from this faith?
18507if then you are unable to do what is least, why do you take thought for the rest?
18507one says to himself,"This man is not saved, is he?
18507they answer,"What are love and wisdom?"
18507will you then come to stand before Me in this house which is called by My name and say, We are delivered?
13815A truce?
13815Afraid? 13815 Ah, Reynard, may I relieve you, then?
13815And are you not afraid of trusting yourself to an element that has proved thus fatal to your family?
13815And wherefore so?
13815And why, then, are you not afraid of trusting yourself to your bed?
13815And you, Jackal, what is your father?
13815And you, Mule, what is your father?
13815Answer this question-- Do our people ever hurt your people? 13815 Are you sure I shall have all the corn at once?"
13815As big as this then?
13815As big as this, my children?
13815As big as this?
13815As this, then?
13815But do you know my little ones?
13815But know you mine?
13815But the Lion held his head high with pride and anger and said,''What are you, oh, small of the small? 13815 But wherein is the wonder?"
13815But which do you think is the greater, the number of the stars or of the fools?
13815But, my dear friend,Vaska says to the Pike,"do you understand that kind of work?
13815Can you prove it?
13815Certainly not,said the Tiger;"why, how in the world could Friend Mouse- deer swallow_ Me_?
13815Dear cousin,said he to her,"how do you do?
13815Do you think I shall be able to see you, at least, in the wood to- morrow?
13815Elf dost thou call me, vile pretender?
13815Go quickly,said the Lion in a rage,"and show me where this vile wretch may be found?"
13815Has not my service glorious Made both of us victorious?
13815Have you no more wit,said a passerby,"than for you and your Son to trudge on foot and let your Ass go light?"
13815Have you seen a Fox pass this way?
13815How are you silly, Reynard?
13815How can I help grieving, unhappy one that I am?
13815How can that strong intrepid mind Attack a weak defenceless kind? 13815 How do you feel to- day, friend Lion?"
13815How many are they?
13815How nothing?
13815How shall I place confidence in thee?
13815How so?
13815How so?
13815How spent you the summer?
13815How strong is the lion? 13815 How?"
13815Hullo, you there,said he,"where do you come from?"
13815If I could paint,said Fox,"I should delight T''anticipate your pleasure at the sight; But come; who knows?
13815If my monotony of song Displeases you, shall I be wrong,The Cuckoo answered,"if I find Your comb has little to my mind?
13815Is he a stouter one than we?
13815Is it because spring has passed away from us, and love with it; that the sun has sunk lower, and that we are nearer to the winter?
13815Is it not hot enough?
13815Is it possible,said the Ass, shaking its ears,"that you do n''t know how it has succeeded in making itself liked, and in becoming distinguished?
13815Is n''t it its tusks that have gotten it into favour?
13815Is''t this?
13815Lion, who is your father?
13815May I depend upon your word?
13815May we depend upon your word?
13815No; do you not remember the woodcutter who could put down five strong men? 13815 Now, friends, can you not see that this place and this food all belong to the Master?
13815Pray, what are you seeking for here?
13815Reynard,said the Peacock,"what have you been doing?"
13815Shall I,says he,"of tender age, In this important care engage?
13815Then how can you expect your little ones to care for you?
13815Then what was the smallest of all creatures of the wilderness that battled with a lion?
13815Thine,says the Lion;"who art thou?"
13815Think you,said he,"your royal name To me worth caring for?
13815This fruit so large, on vine so small,Surveying once, exclaim''d a bumpkin--"What could He mean who made us all?
13815Was it as big as this?
13815Well, Reynard,Said he,"and what scent do you discover here?"
13815Well, not quite always,said the Mastiff;"but what can that matter?"
13815Well, what does that matter? 13815 What death?"
13815What did Ceres do?
13815What do I hear, friend? 13815 What do you mean by muddling the water I am going to drink?"
13815What do you mean?
13815What do you mean?
13815What foe, to frustrate my designs, My schemes thus nightly countermines?
13815What ill fortune have you had, that you have sold nothing all day?
13815What is our food? 13815 What is that mark?"
13815What is to be the stake?
13815What need is there to go to Rhodes for witnesses?
13815What shall I have to do?
13815What sort of a scrape?
13815What sort of protection can you hope for here? 13815 What then?"
13815What then?
13815What use, I pray, of this expense?
13815What was the stake?
13815What will be your reward?
13815What? 13815 Where are you now?"
13815Where is your brilliancy now?
13815Where will you go hereafter?
13815Who art thou?
13815Who art thou?
13815Who is his friend?
13815Who is that one?
13815Who would venture to deny the fact? 13815 Whose voice is that which growls at mine?"
13815Why art thou so sad, dear friend?
13815Why do you do that?
13815Why does the Master treat us so?
13815Why were you turned out?
13815Why, how now, my Son?
13815Why, was it not foolish of me to count the stars in the sky, when I could have counted the stars in your brilliant plumage to better advantage?
13815Why, your majesty, what can be more wonderful than for Fish to escape in lots, each exceeding the other by one?
13815Will you tell your people not to break down the fences and spoil the place and eat our food? 13815 Wo n''t you come inside a little while?
13815Your axe must not be lost,said he:"Now, will you know it when you see?
13815( The Linnet warbled on)--"D''ye hear?
13815("When,"cry the botanists, and stare,"Did plants call''d Sensitive grow there?"
13815--"But say, why doom yourself to sorrow so?"
13815A great cry, however, arose from the people,"And Ceres?
13815A weary theme, and full of pain; For where''s the shade so cool and sweet, Protecting strangers from the heat, But might of such a wrong complain?
13815Am I not active, strong and supple?
13815Am I to blame If men in morals are the same?
13815And how comes it that Moles dare to meddle in the affairs of the king of Birds?
13815And presently the Shark said:"Why have you made the line fast to my tail?"
13815And she asked the King,"Where are all my Chickens?"
13815And since that I have not power even to take leave, how can I endure the load of separation?"
13815And soon he met with the Black Ape, and Friend Ape asked,"Why running so hard, Friend Tiger?
13815And yet I ask the whole world-- Whose work is the finer, mine or that Merchant''s?"
13815And, lest the guilty hear and dread, Shall not the decalogue be read?"
13815Are you hungry?
13815As she went across to the pigs''yard, all the young ones jumped up and grunted,"What are you coming here for?
13815At length, being tired, as well he might, Of standing such a time upright, He to a Monkey near advancing, Exclaimed:"What think you of my dancing?"
13815At this Friend Heron said:"Why does the boat fall off?
13815Bird, where is the Bezoar- stone you promised to bring me, the one that was worth at least a thousand?"
13815Brahmin, what is the reason thou carriest it upon thy shoulder?"
13815But am I free to choose my employment?
13815But could one expect that wise counsel could possibly come from a miserable Mole?"
13815But hence what moral can I bring?
13815But is it becoming that an Eagle should accept advice coming from a Mole in a hole?
13815But tell me, have you already brought up your little ones?
13815But the Mouse- deer answered,"What, Friend Shark, you''ll make a meal off me?
13815But what do I care?
13815But what happens?
13815But what is the good of it if there''s neither warmth nor wear in it?"
13815But what of that?
13815But what then?
13815But whom should he entreat, or compel, or induce by rewards, to instruct the czarevitch to become a czar?
13815But why do you come here, Sii?
13815But why on me those curses thrown?
13815But why should he ponder long over it?
13815By no means; why, we must all die; is not your father dead?"
13815Can I do anything for you?"
13815Can you not always run where you please, then?"
13815Canst thou see the wale of a stick?
13815Did it not tell thee what it was told by me, that thou art still sitting at home although it has become day?"
13815Did not you give us leave to take from the Sheep a trifling contribution for our pelisses in winter?
13815Did you know that you are really a very slow, stupid creature?
13815Do you know that?
13815Do you know what it was?"
13815Do you not think it a good plan to give a Peace Party and settle this trouble?"
13815Do you remember that not long ago our master brought three turtle eggs to feed your children?
13815Do you remember the great lion we saw one day, which Ah- Kay caught?
13815Do you suppose I like to be in jail?
13815Do you want to fight?"
13815EE- SZE( Meaning): Why have some more power than others?
13815Echo as loud replied,"Pretender?"
13815Echo as stern cried,"Who art thou?"
13815Elephant then goes to Mr. Frog''s, saying:"Didst thou tell my sweetheart that I am thy horse?"

13815Friend Ape said,"What was that Thing, Friend Tiger?"
13815Friend Tiger replied,"What do you mean by''so much noise''?
13815Hare comes; he finds them talking; says:"Why are you quarrelling?"
13815Have I come to the vile well of the silly Mosquitoes for wisdom?''
13815Have you any questions to ask?
13815He says:"How shall I do?
13815He was just about to kill and eat it when the bird cried out,"O Grandfather, surely you are not going to eat me?
13815Her friend said:"What dost thou want that thou art come to me?"
13815Hong- Mo said,"What are you doing?
13815How came you to fall in?
13815How can one tell?
13815How can we get our music right?
13815How is this, that you, who are blessed with hands and feet, yield to such sufferings?"
13815How is your helm, Friend Mouse- deer?"
13815How long have you been in the water?
13815How many feet and legs have you?
13815How shall I do?"
13815How shall I punish your impudence?"
13815How shall we kill him?"
13815How should they save their Egg-- and bacon?
13815I grant, to man we lend our pains, And aid him to correct the plains; But doth he not divide the care Through all the labours of the year?
13815I marry without more ado, My dear Dick Redcap; what say you?"
13815If a dog were made king, would he not gnaw his shoe straps?''
13815If you like it, and it does you good, why not eat it all up?
13815In the winter, too, while I feed at my ease on the fruit of my toil, what more common than to see your friends dying with cold, hunger, and fatigue?
13815Is there a bird beneath the blue That has more charms than you?
13815Is what I have said not the truth?"
13815JOSEPH ADDISON How shall I bring to your mind the time and distance that separate us from the Age of Fable?

13815Listen to the cry of the dogs and the terrible sound of the horns?
13815Look at the cells-- through every one Does not unvaried sameness run?
13815May I hope to get a pension, and other privileges?
13815My humble friend from danger free, While, weltering in my gore, I''m dying?"
13815Nianga says:"What has done this to thee?"
13815Nianga says:"Where shall I find food?"
13815Not knowing how to guard your own?"
13815Now, how do you wish that I should hold my tail?"
13815Oh, such caressing was there ever?
13815On seeing the little red Ants, our Lord asked them,"Why did you kill the man?"
13815Or melody with such a quaver?
13815Our Lord attended to the request of the Insects, and said to them,"Who will give notice that to- morrow all the Insects are to come?"
13815Presently Father Elephant arrived, and Mother Elephant asked:"What were you sobbing for, Father?
13815Presently the old man said:"Where has that bird got to?
13815Presently, therefore, the Tiger asked the Elephant,"Well, Friend Elephant, would you like to try your luck again?"
13815Said the King- crow to himself:"Who can it be coming up- stream that exclaims so loudly at the rapids?
13815Said the old man,"Do you really mean it?"
13815Seek ye to thrive?
13815Shall every fowl the waters skim Because we Geese are known to swim?
13815Shall haughty man my back bestride?
13815Shall the sharp spur provoke my side?
13815Shall we our servitude retain Because our sires have borne the chain?
13815Shall, then, our nobler jaws submit To foam, and champ the galling bit?
13815Should he choose the Panther?
13815Should he trust him to the Mole?
13815Should it in forward paws be taken, Or roll''d along, or dragg''d?
13815So he turned to the Tiger and said,"Will you have some of this fine grass for your breakfast?"
13815So they said to a Fox, who had been watching the race:"Will you tell us which of us is superior, and which inferior, in the race?"
13815Some people said:"How shall we kill it?"
13815Soon after, he was accosted by one of them in this manner:"Is not that a dog?
13815Suppose I lead him after another Lion?
13815The Cat asked the Hen''s child,"Why did thy mother send thee to me?"
13815The Cat of the old woman inquired:"What sort of a thing may fat meat be?
13815The Cat said to the Hen''s child,"Go and tell thy mother to arise and come at the cockcrowing; for what should eat her?"
13815The Cat said to the Hen,"What art thou afraid of that thou sayest,''I will never come out at night''?
13815The Cattle said:"Who will be the leader of our party and do the inviting?
13815The Crab said:"Would you like to run a race with a stupid creature like me?
13815The Crabs in the holes around came up to him and said:"Friend, why are you wailing so loud?"
13815The Fox bowed respectfully, and stood before the king, who said:"So you are to tell us stories without ceasing?"
13815The Fox said:"Have you ever been out for a walk in the moonlight?"
13815The Goat rose up and, advancing to the mouth of the cave, said,"Will you come back to- morrow?"
13815The Hen arose, and asked it:"Thou child of the Cat, dost thou come to me in peace?"
13815The Hen replied to the Cat:"Dost thou like me for a friend?"
13815The Hen said to her child,"What did the Cat say?
13815The Hen''s child said,"My mother said I must come and ask thee how early shall we go to the neighbouring town?"
13815The Man of Luck and the Man of Pluck A King in the East said to his Minister;"Do you believe in luck?"
13815The Mule asked,"Shall we go to any other place?"
13815The Partridge, void of fear, Begins her friend to jeer:--"You bragg''d of being fleet; How serve you, now, your feet?"
13815The Proud Fox and the Crab One day a Fox said to a Crab:"Crawling thing, did you ever run in all your life?"
13815The Snake replied:"Who deserves more to grieve than I, whose maintenance was from hunting frogs?
13815The Tortoise rejoined;"How can it be that ye should speak with a view to my advantage, and I fail to perform a compact which is for my own good?"
13815The Tortoise wept at the intelligence and piteously exclaimed,"What words are these, and how can existence be supported without sympathizing friends?
13815The bulk which makes a child afraid?
13815The man replied,"''Tis true; And did the Lark to you?"
13815The man said to the Tiger:"If I let you out of the trap will you promise not to attack me?"
13815The people said:"This fellow, how shall we do?
13815The people said:"What shall we kill him with?"
13815The thief asked him:"Who art thou, and whither goest thou?"
13815The young that through your teeth have passed, In file unbroken by a fast, Had they nor dam nor sire?"
13815Then Friend Mouse- deer said,"When does your promise expire?"
13815Then he said,"Do you think I came here myself?
13815Then the King- crow asked:"And what will you stake?"
13815Then the Mule asked his mother,"Will you allow me to go with Sii to see his friend?"
13815Then the Toad said to the Rat,"Didst thou see me?
13815Then they said to him,"Why do you live here so long?
13815There the Hen was standing and the people of the town said to her:"Foolish one, didst thou, a Hen, arise and go to befriend a Cat?
13815They gather, saying:"Why didst thou send for us?"
13815They returned home, called a council together and said:"What shall we do?
13815Think you I tremble at your power or fame?
13815This is all thy run; and wilt thou say that thou canst do more than I?"
13815This is my story which thou hast heard; now, tell me, who art thou and what is thy story?"
13815To this, however, the Mouse- deer replied:"What is the use of eating me, when there''s already plenty of butcher''s meat and to spare?"
13815Was it a bird?"
13815Was it such a return that I expected from them?
13815Were Geese set off with half that show, Would men admire the Peacock?
13815Were we designed for daily toil; To drag the ploughshare through the soil; To sweat in harness through the road; To groan beneath the carrier''s load?
13815What are you complaining about?
13815What are you that you should have a place you call your home and tell me that I may or I may not?''
13815What could be better than a king as the tutor for a prince?
13815What harm had e''er my victims done?
13815What have you done to yourself?"
13815What is it that thou dost want?"
13815What is the cause of it?"
13815What is there in the way?"
13815What makes a bird, I pray?
13815What makes your hair so smooth and beautiful?
13815What more proofs do you want?"
13815What on earth is the matter with him?
13815What see ye, men, in this parade, That food for wonder need be made?
13815What shall we do?"
13815What!--dare_ you_ challenge me to sing, When there''s no voice, however fine, Can match the melody of mine?"
13815When did you find time to build a nest?
13815When he objected his companion exclaimed,"Did we not agree that Whatever plunged down the steps was to be my portion?"
13815When it was gone the Hen arose, called a child of hers, and said:"Go and ask the Cat at what time we shall go to the neighbouring town?"
13815When the Cat of the old woman saw this, it was astonished and cried out, saying:"Thou, whose state is thus pleasant, whence art thou?
13815When the two hostile armies fall to strife, Then from its sheath what need to draw the knife?
13815Where hath he strength who wanteth judgment?
13815Where then would be the glory of an Eagle having such keen eyes?
13815Who and what are you to talk so much?
13815Who buildeth not, sometimes, in air, His cots, or seats, or castles fair?
13815Who can say?
13815Who dares the inference to blink, That beasts possess wherewith to think?
13815Who gave you leave to plunder?"
13815Who knows how that may turn out for me?
13815Who put me here, do you know?
13815Who told you such a lie?
13815Why did you not give it to me?"
13815Why do some try and not succeed; while others do not try and yet they do succeed?
13815Why do some try and not succeed; while others do not try and yet they do succeed?
13815Why do you children stay out here, when I have given you a good house to live in?"
13815Why do you come?"
13815Why do you not go back to your own place?
13815Why do you not leave me in peace?
13815Why do you want to keep it all to yourself?"
13815Why have some longer life than others?
13815Why have some longer life than others?
13815Why should I go on suffering here in rain and mud, while our Diamond is, men say, in honour there?
13815Why should I with this burden couple?
13815Why so much noise, and why, just when the Rains are upon us, too, do you go fetching such lofty bounds?"
13815Why was it, that, not fearing to sin, the Cuckoo praised the Cock?
13815Why, have I even got the strength to lift it?"
13815Why, then, am I not worthy of confidence?"
13815Why, then, should we seek to die?
13815Wilt play?"
13815Would you not like to take a walk with me?
13815You foolish old thing, do you think our fathers and mothers want you?

13815and what kind of relish has bread, made of fine flour?
13815but deprived of that too, whither, sir, shall we go?
13815cried the Elephant,"what is to be done in this disaster?
13815cried the Wolf;"pray, you greedy fellow, what greater reward can you possibly require?
13815cried the next person they met;"are you not ashamed to ride and let your poor old Father go on foot?"
13815demanded the Elephant,"and whence comest thou?"
13815do you dare,"she said,"to creep in The very bed I sometimes sleep in, Now, after all the provocation I''ve suffered from your thievish nation?
13815eat another''s grass?
13815eating stupid sheep a crime?
13815exclaimed the Wolf, with a sudden stop;"tied up?
13815ho-- whither bound?"
13815in struggling to repel His ruthless foes, he fell Stabb''d through; and with a bitter sighing, He cried:"Is this the lot they promised me?
13815is that the way you serve Sheep in this part of the country?"
13815my dear brother,"cried he, with affected concern,"can it really be you that I see down there?
13815said he,"how is it I did not know of it?"
13815said he,"is this the way My care and kindness you repay?
13815said the Countryman,"have n''t you the manners to thank your host before you go?"
13815said the Fly to the Ant,"can you for a moment compare yourself with me?
13815said the Lion;"who ever heard of a Gadfly helping a Lion?
13815said the old man;"do you expect me then to let you go?"
13815she cried,"what''s the good of expecting a just reward?
13815the Ass replied;"With heavier burdens will they ride?"
13815the cricket answered;"why, God made them ears who can deny?"
13815the man replies;"Shall Cats with us the game divide?

22019Nay;--how do you know?
22019O child, what use is that? 22019 Of what country, my dear?"
22019Oil and flame, old and new, living and dying, tradition and scepticism, iconoclast and idolater, you can not unite and harmonise these antagonisms?
22019Only Pantomimi?
22019Only Pantomimi?
22019Repentance in secret-- would that avail?
22019She amassed wealth,they say: no doubt she did-- and why?
22019She will have her art----"Will the dead bird sing?
22019Since sophism came in, which was with Monsieur Cain, when he asked,''Am I my brother''s keeper?'' 22019 Since when have you discovered that?"
22019That is not the fault of the reeds?
22019The Roman Emperors?
22019The birds in cages sing,she answered him,"but think you they are glad?"
22019The children?
22019The power of vision? 22019 Then there is no use in a stage at all?"
22019Then why give the wealth of your intellect to men?
22019Was it because you were afraid of dying in your prime that you would never woo Fame then yourself?
22019Well, if they do? 22019 Were you guilty?"
22019What am I worth that you should perish for me? 22019 What are you thinking of to- night?"
22019What avail to strive to bring men nearer to the right? 22019 What did you do?"
22019What is it you feel?
22019What is your name then?
22019What matter what brought them,she said softly,"if they reach the same goal?"
22019What then?
22019Wheer? 22019 When wur''t?"
22019Where is there such a one? 22019 Who are celebrated in Scripture?
22019Who cared for his sweat or sorrow? 22019 Who has done that?"
22019Who has put that into your head, Bébée?
22019Who is there?
22019Who would not?
22019Why do you do that?
22019Why do you shine?
22019Why had you not a grandmother of your own, my little one?
22019Why not twice? 22019 Why that?"
22019Will it?
22019Will they burn me if I sing too well?
22019You believe in public penance?
22019You care for art yourself, M. Della Rocca?
22019You come from the Roman Emperors?
22019You have chapel and chaplain yonder at your château, I believe? 22019 You have sworn to take my body, sawn in two, to Ben- Ihreddin?"
22019You mean that superiority has its attendant shadow, which is calumny? 22019 You think very ill of men?"
22019You will not, I believe, seek to enforce your title to dispute them with me?
22019You would not lose''those thoughts that wander through eternity,''to gain in exchange the peace from ignorance of the peasant or the dullard?
22019_ A m''effacer_? 22019 _ You_ are of the people of Rubes''country, are you not?"
22019''My dear,''she said to him,''why did you trouble yourself to put all that wit and sense into it?
22019''Will ye have Christ or Barabbas?''
22019*** A genius?
22019*** Bad?
22019*** But they are hollow inside, you still urge?
22019*** Can an ignorant or an untrained brain follow the theory of light, or the metamorphosis of plants?
22019*** Do n''t you know that whilst broad, intellectual scepticism is masculine, narrow, social scepticism is feminine?
22019*** Do you know the delicate delights of a summer morning in Italy?
22019*** Ever and anon the old, dark, eager, noble face was lifted from its pillow, and the withered lips murmured three words:"Is she come?"
22019*** Have I been cruel, my child?
22019*** How should we have great Art in our day?
22019*** I never knew quite whether I liked her-- how can you with those women of the world?
22019*** Is Nature kind or cruel?
22019*** There never was an Æneas; there never was a Numa; well, what the better are we?
22019*** What is the use of railing against Society?
22019*** What was love if not one long forgiveness?
22019*** Wrong to be proud, you ask?
22019*** Yet as he thought, so he did not realise that he would ever cease to be in the world-- who does?
22019*** You know how St. Michael made the Italian?
22019***"And when the ship sails away without you?"
22019***"And where are you going so fast, as if those wooden shoes of yours were sandals of mercury?"
22019***"Ben Dare, he be dead?"
22019***"But ye dunna get good wage?"
22019***"Can you inform me how it is that women possess tenacity of will in precise proportion to the frivolity of their lives?
22019***"Does it vex you that I am not a boy?"
22019***"Good?
22019***"Is that all you know?"
22019***"So you have brought Fame to Lélis, my English lord?"
22019***"The future?"
22019***"Then everybody is a hypocrite?"
22019***"They were greater than the men that live now,"she said with a solemn tenderness,"Perhaps; Why think so?"
22019***"What avail?"
22019***"What is England?"
22019***"When the soldier dies at his post, unhonoured and unpitied, and out of sheer duty, is that unreal because it is noble?"
22019***"Why do you go to such a place?"
22019***"You are not unhappy now?"
22019***"You surely find no debtor such an ingrate, no master such a tyrant, as the People?"
22019***"You think any sin may be forgiven?"
22019And for the future who cares,--save these madmen themselves?
22019And the old dame, she said, Weel, sir, I dinna b''lieve tha Almighty would ever spite a poor old crittur like me, do n''t''ee think it?
22019And those who held that sublime code of yours, that cleaving to truth for truth''s sake, where are they?
22019And were it ours, should we give him the nameless mystic mercy which all men live to crave-- give it as the chastisement of crime?
22019And without your settlements, where are you in Society?
22019And would you summon it as your hardest cruelty to sin?
22019And yet, what is gain except love, and what better than joy can we have?
22019And you count that gain?
22019And you know it is not age with_ me_, Annémie?"
22019Answer me-- is the compact fair?
22019Are you not glad for me, O Sun?"
22019Are you possessed?
22019Are you quite sure you are better to- day?"
22019Artificial?
22019Because the multitudes have it, such as it is, instead of the units?
22019Bichât gave himself to premature death for science''sake; does the world once in a year speak his name?
22019But Bac the cobbler, who was with me,--it was a fête day-- Bac,_ he_ said,''Do you not believe that, Bébée?
22019But even if-- if-- I only remembered him by wounds, what would that change in me?
22019But how many on the miserable stage of this country have ever had either humility to perceive, or capability to achieve this?"
22019But if a wanton stone from a boat passing by break the shell, where is the nautilus then?
22019But if we''re no to help oursells i''this world, what for have He gied us the trouble o''tha thrid to spin?
22019But the lips moved still, though no voice came, with the same words:"Is she come?"
22019But this man?
22019But what could she know of this?
22019But what do you think the reed felt then?--pain to be so sharply severed from its fellows?"
22019But what is the use of talking?
22019But what music do we ever have in the churches?
22019But what of that?
22019But who is there to care?
22019But why do you look at me so?
22019But why not show yourself at them?
22019But with Barabbas-- what was the end?
22019But you seem to envy that reed-- so long ago-- that was chosen?"
22019But_ you_ must come out of Rubes''land-- at least, I think so; do you not?"
22019By his own hand alone would his future be fashioned; would he hew out any shape save the idol that pleased him?
22019Can you not see that if every man took heed of the guilt of his own thoughts and acts, the world would be free and at peace?
22019Can you read my parable?
22019Can you tell me?"
22019Can you think that I shall be its informant?"
22019City of Pleasure you have called her, and with truth; but why not also City of the Poor?
22019Could it destroy the past?
22019Could she see the blank despair that blinded my sight?
22019Could she see the frozen hand that I felt clutching at my heart and benumbing it?
22019Could she see the tears of blood that welled up in my eyes?
22019Dear mother Annémie, are you better?
22019Death?
22019Did he?"
22019Did her great men spring up full- armed like Athene, or was it the pure, elastic atmosphere of her that made her mere mortals strong as immortals?
22019Did she like the new weekly journal that was electrifying Paris?
22019Did you never find out the value of their words?
22019Do you ever wonder at revolutions?
22019Do you know what I mean?
22019Do you know what the good priests would say?"
22019Do you never think how horrible it is, that mockery of woe?
22019Do you not know?
22019Do you often think of them?
22019Do you remember how he read it that night after Mozart amongst the roses by the fire?
22019Do you remember those pictures of Vittario Carpacio and of Gentile?
22019Do you say the merle was glad?"
22019Do you understand?"
22019Does the sun shine less often, have the flowers less fragrance, does sleep come less sweetly to you than to them?
22019Does this sound a fanciful folly?
22019Estmere looked at this wayside wit, this wine- house philosopher, with a regard that asked plainly,"Are you fool or knave?"
22019For what do you know?
22019For what hast thou bartered to me the golden rod of thy wealth and thy dominion over the flocks and the herds?
22019For what if he came and found me away?
22019For when do men forgive force in the woman?
22019Forest King had done so much, could he have stay and strength for this?
22019Good?
22019Great?
22019Gudule and St. Michael had set the church down in the night all ready made-- why not?
22019Had she read the new French story"Le Bal de Mademoiselle Bibi?"
22019Have you the face to make it?
22019Her love was deathless: how could she know that his was mortal?
22019Hev''''ee e''er heerd on her?"
22019How can I say how right I think your system with these children?
22019How can one care for a God since He lets these things be?"
22019How can we tell what Byzantium might have become under one mighty hand?
22019How could one say to her the thing that he had made her in man''s and woman''s sight?
22019How have they fared in every climate and in every age?
22019How have you the poor with you?
22019How is that any fault of mine?
22019How many of my bravest have fallen in death; and shall I be afraid of what they welcomed?
22019How, then, can it be art, which is only great in proportion as it escapes from the physical life into the spiritual?"
22019I love my hut, and the starling, and the chickens-- and what would the garden do without me?--and the children, and the old Annémie?
22019I think if I could hear great music once-- if I could go to Florence----""To Florence?"
22019I want some one who will tell me,--and if you come out of Rubes''country as I think, no doubt you know everything, or remember it?"
22019I was on the lower hill, so I ran up-- is all right with you?"
22019I, whose whole life is one restless impatience, one petulant mutiny against circumstance?
22019I-- a dog?"
22019I?--the mind of a man, the breath of a god?"
22019If ever you have children, I suppose you will rear them on science and the Antonines?"
22019If it be not, how comes it that women have given you no great poet since the days of Sappho?
22019If it were of any use who would mind?
22019If this woman took the lad away from him, where was there any mercy or justice, earthly or divine?
22019In answer she wrote back to him:"I do not urge you to have my faith: what is the use?
22019In the Grand Stand the Seraph''s eyes strained after the Scarlet and White, and he muttered in his moustaches,"Ye gods, what''s up?
22019In those days the impossible was possible-- a paradox?
22019Indeed, who can tell?
22019Is he grieved to live?
22019Is he who did them shut out from all hope?"
22019Is it not well to clothe a distasteful and barbaric necessity in a refining guise and under an elegant nomenclature?"
22019Is it true?--if the world''s choice were wrong once, why not twice?"
22019Is not my Venetian glass with its iridescent hues of opal as real every whit as your pot of pewter?
22019Is there any threnody over a death half so unutterably sad as that one jest over a life?
22019Is there no glory at all worth having, then?
22019Is this the meaning of civilisation-- to make privacy impossible, to oblige every one to live under a lens?
22019Is your foot less swift, your limb less strong, your face less fair than theirs?
22019It seems that they loathe and despise him?"
22019It was the Corso di Gala that afternoon, would she not go?
22019It will all_ end_ now, will it not?
22019May we not trust that at the bottom of it, as at the bottom of Pandora''s, there may be hope?
22019Me?
22019Men can bridle the ass and can drive the sheep; but who can drive the eagle or bridle the lion?
22019More than Alexander ever grasped at-- what might not have been done with it?
22019No doubt you are come in to see it all?"
22019No: what was the use of reading novels of society by people who never had been in it?
22019Now- a- days, science makes a great discovery; the tired world yawns, feels its pockets, and only asks,"Will it pay?"
22019O child, do not pine for the glass house that would ennoble you, only to force you and kill you?
22019Oh, all that?
22019Oh, my dear, my heart is broken; how can I tell you?
22019Old Age?--Is there not white and red paint, and heads of dead hair, and even false bosoms?
22019Once he asked her--"Are you tired?"
22019Pain?
22019Pain?--Are there not chloral and a flattering doctor?
22019People were talking of a clever English novel translated everywhere, called"In a Hothouse,"the hothouse being society-- had she seen it?
22019Renan asks,''O God, when will it be worth while to live?''
22019Shall I ask higher payment than the God of the sun and the violets asks for Himself?
22019Shall I be Nothing?--like the muscle that rots, like the bones that crumble, like the flesh that turns to ashes, and blows in a film on the winds?
22019Shall I die so?
22019Shall I perish with the body?
22019Shame?--Is it not a famine fever which never comes near a well- laden table?
22019She must content, or how will she be countenanced?
22019She said it was well done, but what charm was there in it?
22019Singing how?
22019So she dubs us"cynics"and leaves us-- who can wonder if we wo n''t follow her through the rain?
22019So she thought,"Surely, my dew will best fall where such glorious water dances?"
22019Sorrow?--Are there not a course at the Baths, play at Monte Carlo, and new cases from Worth?
22019Still-- to see so great a gift as yours wasted----""Wasted?
22019Surely it is best bestowed where it will change to a jewel?"
22019Take care of the old man-- he will not trouble long-- and of Vole- qui- veut and Etoile, and Boule Blanche, and the rat, and all the dogs, will you?
22019That is the sort of dinner we make all the year round, morally-- metaphorically-- how do you say it?
22019That is your friend who bends over me here?--is it not?
22019That rose now, is it well done?"
22019The Book of the Christians is the very manual of Socialism:''_ You_ read the Gospel, Marat?''
22019The Huron Indians pray to the souls of the fish they catch; well, why should they not?
22019The Veglione on Sunday-- would she not go to that?
22019The martyr, the liberator, the seeker of truth, may deserve its peace; how has the traitor won them?
22019Then she thought,"Surely my gift will be best given in succour to the first and lowliest thing I see in pain?"
22019There might be paradise for virtue and hell for crime, but what in the name of the universe was to be done with creatures that were only all Folly?
22019There was another world, and saints and angels and eternity; yes, of course-- but how on earth would all those baccarat people ever fit into it?
22019They love their darkness best-- why not leave them to it?
22019They write of love, and who forgets the Lesbian?
22019Think you I would exchange them for the gold showers and the diamond boxes of a Farinelli?"
22019Though it fall, err, betray, be mocked of others and forsaken by itself, what does this matter?
22019To be great?
22019Under what nodding oxlip did Shakespeare find Titania asleep?
22019Was Cimabue''s masterpiece veiled in a palace or borne aloft through the throngs of the streets?
22019Was she too familiar with the Holy Mother?
22019Was that death to the reed?--or life?
22019Was that death to the reed?--or life?
22019Was the bell tower yonder set in a ducal garden or in a public place?
22019Well, what have we gained?
22019Well?"
22019Were they?
22019What business have you here, who do neither the one nor the other?"
22019What can I say to you?
22019What can I say?
22019What can seem more obstinate to the weak?
22019What can seem more strange to the shallow?
22019What could I dare to say to her of shame?
22019What could I say to her?
22019What could Paul himself say that would change them?
22019What could divorce do for me?
22019What could the world say?"
22019What did he want with people to hear?
22019What did it matter who heard it on earth?
22019What do other gardens know of that, save in orange- groves of Granada and rose thickets of Damascus?
22019What does he care?
22019What does it matter if everybody looks after you when you pass down a street, what they say when you pass?"
22019What does that change?
22019What is genius?
22019What is it to be a player?
22019What is it to die-- just to die?
22019What is it?
22019What is political eloquence for, if not to make the people forget such things as these?
22019What is religion?
22019What is the consequence?
22019What is there objectionable?"
22019What matter which very much after all?
22019What matter?"
22019What raised it higher than the senses if not its infinite patience and endurance of all wrong?
22019What should I say to them?
22019What then?
22019What think''ee, Daffe?
22019What use was endless life and all the lore of the spirits and seers to Sospitra?
22019What use?
22019What voice was in the fountain of Vaucluse?
22019What was doing down there?
22019What was its hope of eternal life if it had not gathered strength in it enough to rise above human arrogance and human vengeance?
22019What will you do?
22019What will you do?
22019What woman is it he calls?"
22019What would you have?
22019What, if he lived, could destroy a future that would be solely dependent on, solely ruled by, himself?
22019When Barbarians thronged the Forum, and the representative of Galilee fishermen claimed power in the Capitol?
22019When I tell you this, do you dream that I spare you?
22019When he leaves you, what will you do?
22019When we hold the chisel ourselves, are we not secure to have no error in the work?
22019When will you learn the first lesson of society, and decently and discreetly_ apprendre à vous effacer_?"
22019Where did Guido see the golden hair of St. Michael gleam upon the wind?
22019Where did Mozart hear the awful cries of the risen dead come to judgment?
22019Whereas man-- what does he do?
22019Who can remember a summer breeze when it has passed by, or tell in any after- time how a laugh or a sigh sounded?"
22019Who can tell?
22019Who can tell?
22019Who can want more of life-- or death?"
22019Who can want the creature of such progenitors?"
22019Who could think it hard to die in the glory of strife, drunk with the sound of the combat, and feeling no pain in the swoon of a triumph?
22019Who could, by any stretch of imagination, conceive Madame Mila and Maurice des Gommeux in a spiritual existence around the throne of Deity?
22019Who dare say they are not the heroes of the world?"
22019Who has delivered us unto you to be thus tortured, and martyred?
22019Who is a hero?
22019Who is a martyr?
22019Who is a patriot?
22019Who is a philosopher?
22019Who is a priest?
22019Who is a queen?
22019Who is a ruler?
22019Who is a saint?
22019Who is an immortal?
22019Who shall say whence it comes?
22019Whose is it?"
22019Whose matter is it?"
22019Why confuse the two?
22019Why do you not say honestly that you care nothing?
22019Why do you not set yourselves to make us more abundant in those joyless homes, in those sunless windows?
22019Why have you ever bade me desire the light and seek it, if for ever you must thrust me into the darkness of negation?
22019Why is it that in a polished life a man, whilst becoming incapable of sinking to crime, almost always becomes also incapable of rising to greatness?
22019Why not a thousand times?
22019Why not break the simple shell for sport?
22019Why should it not be?
22019Why should it not be?
22019Why were not men like that?
22019Why, my Waif?
22019Why?
22019Will human ears give heed to thy song now thy sceptre has passed to my hands?
22019Will you count my remorse as nothing?"
22019Will you never change your mind, and live with me, Annémie?
22019Will you never come?
22019Will you tell me that?
22019With these-- and youth-- who shall dare say the painter is not rich-- ay, though his board be empty, and his cup be dry?
22019Without Rubens, what were Antwerp?
22019Would a thousand summers of life by the waterside have been worth that one thrill of song when a god first spoke through it?
22019Would a thousand summers of life by the waterside have been worth that one thrill of song when a god first spoke through it?"

22019Would yer think iron beast wor o''use thin?
22019Yet what remains of his love and his toil?
22019You do not like Socialism?
22019You know Or San Michele?
22019You laugh?
22019_ M''effacer_?
22019_ Tiens!_ what is it to give?
22019all that?
22019and was not Dante himself called the laureate of the cobblers and the bakers?
22019and when do women ever forgive the woman''s greatness?
22019and when does every cur fail to snarl at the life that is higher than its fellows?
22019and why no han''t He made tha shirts, an''tha sheets, an''tha hose grow theersells?
22019are you an angel?
22019bad?
22019did not Sperone and all the critics at his heels pronounce Ariosto only fit for the vulgar multitude?
22019did the world know of such a thing?
22019echoed Bruno aghast;"what are you about, child?
22019everybody cries with eager zest; but when they have only to say"Oh, was n''t it so?"
22019he muttered;"shall I never muzzle and yoke you ever again?"
22019how can I thank you?
22019let your mother die rather than allow her to eat the bread of your dishonour: which choice between the twain do you not think a mother would make?
22019or would yer damn him hard?"
22019said the girl--"why should it vex you?
22019she echoed, with less languor and more of impetuosity than she had ever displayed,"are you ever in love, any of you, ever?
22019she said at last,"that means something that one has not, and that is to come-- is it so?"
22019she would have said,"what did that mean in''15?
22019that is simple enough, is n''t it?
22019what can I say to you?
22019what have I done to be worthy of such love?"
22019what matter when or how each bubble of it bursts?
22019what shall these profit thee now?"
22019whatever is there that stands the test of knowing it well?
22019who cares to be bored?
11248Can nature, let me ask, regard use as an end, and dispose uses into orders and forms? 11248 Can you finish it within the year?"
11248In what then,said they to the angel,"does heavenly joy consist?"
11248Is not heaven,they argued,"before our eyes in a particular place above us?
11248We can not approach:and he said,"Why not?"
11248What is the origin of beauty but love, which, when it flows into the eyes of youths, and sets them on becomes beauty? 11248 Who are you?
11248_ Philip said, Shew us the FATHER: Jesus said unto him, He that seeth me, seeth the FATHER; how sayest them then, Shew us the FATHER_?
11248_ Where is the hill of thy MOTHER''S divorcement, whom I have put away_?
1124843; for you make conjugial love and adulterous love the same thing; and do these two cohere any more than iron and clay?
112486- 11?
11248After attending some time to this sight, we approached the table, and asked him what he was then writing?
11248After this I gave the conversation a serious turn, and asked them, whether they had ever thought that adultery is sin?
11248After this, as I looked around, I saw their tabernacle as it were overlaid with gold; and I asked,"Whence is this?"
11248Afterwards I said,"How can you subsist upon this earth, when you are void of any love truly conjugial, and also when you worship idols?"
11248Afterwards those who were seated on the grassy couches, asked the angels"Whence are the innumerable and ineffable delights of conjugial love?"
11248Again I asked,"What other miracles shall I do?"
11248Again I enquired,"How can he, who is emperor of emperors, so submit himself, and how can you receive adoration?"
11248Again they were asked,"What is the quality of those delights?"
11248Again we asked,"What are your religious notions respecting whoredoms?"
11248Also remove the feathers and quills, and look at its skin; is it not white?
11248Also, how can a man live eternally, unless he be conjoined to an eternal God?
11248And I asked,"Are not the things above- mentioned miracles?"
11248And are not our bodily senses the only evidences of truth?
11248And are not those things entirely distinct from each other?
11248And as by this time we were ready to depart, I asked,"Did any of you, during your abode in the natural world, live with more than one wife?"
11248And can a bony skeleton that has been parched in the sun, or mouldered into dust, be introduced into a new body?
11248And can nature make angels of men, and heaven of angels?
11248And can such super- eminent principle derive its existence from any other source than from God himself, the Creator and Preserver of the universe?
11248And how can there be conjunction with God by love and wisdom, unless a man have some reciprocity of conjunction?
11248And how could the cadaverous and putrid materials be collected, and reunited to the souls?
11248And if he never learnt to speak, would he ever be able to express his thoughts?
11248And instantly upon the heads of some of the audience there appeared wreaths of flowers; and on their asking,"Why is this?"
11248And it was asked them,"Are those things delightful to you?"
11248And must not all the intercourse of youths and virgins, in such case, consist of dry insipid joys?
11248And on being asked,"What further account can you give?"
11248And one of the ten asked,"How for the sake of relatives?"
11248And presently, when he was turned to me, I asked him what he heard?
11248And they added,"What do you wish us to tell you on the subject?"
11248And they looked at each other, and said,"Which of you has seen him?"
11248And they replied with a hissing,"What do you mean by one wife only?
11248And they replied,"What do you mean by holiness?
11248And we answered,"Are they not also works of the spirit?
11248And we asked thirdly,"Does your religion teach that marriages are holy and heavenly, and that adulteries are profane and infernal?"
11248And what harm can come to a man?
11248And what have actions to do with religion?
11248And what is a woman?
11248And when some of the women said that they were their wives, they replied,"What is a wife?
11248And who can discover, let him make what inquiry he pleases, any other cause of this than that he has devoted his soul and heart to one woman?
11248And who does not know that that concupiscence is not imputed, while from natural he is becoming spiritual?
11248Are not adulteries as prolific as marriages?
11248Are not all things therein organically formed to produce the things which the love wills and the understanding thinks?
11248Are not illegitimate children as alert and qualified for the discharge of offices and employments as the legitimate?
11248Are not marriages works of the flesh and of the night?"
11248Are not the angels of heaven principled therein?
11248Are not the atmospheres and all things which exist on the earth, as surfaces, and the sun their centre?
11248Are not the organs of the body from nature, and love and thought from life?
11248Are not there instances of adulterous presbyters and monks?
11248Are not these the delights of true conjugial love in their fulness?"
11248Are not they adulterous?"
11248Are not your heads in nature, and is there any influx into the thoughts of your heads but from nature?
11248Are there not instances of men who are so wild and foolish, that they are no more like men than those who have been found in forests?
11248Are they not in the meantime mere vaporous and unsubstantial souls residing, in some place of confinement(_ in quodam pu seu ubi_)?"
11248Are they not mere creatures of the brain?"
11248As he said this, I saw a great light upon the hill in the middle of the tabernacles; and I inquired,"Whence is that light?"
11248As wisdom is a principle of life, and thence of reason, as was said above, it may be asked, What is wisdom as a principle of life?
11248At length I asked him,"How long do you two hundred thus glory among yourselves?"
11248At length I said,"Although you do not fear divine laws, do you not fear civil laws?"
11248At that instant two angelic spirits happening to meet them, accosted them, saying,"Whence are you?"
11248At this also they murmured, saying,"What have you to do here with whoredoms?
11248At this the crowd murmured, and said,"What have you to do here with marriages?
11248At this the novitiate laughed, saying,"What are heaven and hell?
11248At this they smiled and said,"What is a wise one or a wisdom without a woman, or without love, a wife being the love of a wise man''s wisdom?"
11248At this we smiled and said,"Are they not contraries?
11248Being questioned whether they saw any sin in it?
11248But I replied,"I know that you are a wise one; and what has a wise one or a wisdom to do with a woman?"
11248But I said,"Do not you know that to live well is charity, and that to believe well is faith?
11248But at this several who were present laughed, saying,"What is spiritual good?"
11248But being much terrified, they did not answer; and I said,"Do you see the dreadful sight?
11248But he then asked,"Whence comes the fire of the sun of the world, or of nature?"
11248But instantly, as before, his internal sight was opened, the external being closed, and he was asked what he then saw?
11248But the legate replied,"Does not the raven appear black to the sight?"
11248But the men said,"Whence has a man honor from his wife but by her magnifying his intelligence?"
11248But they said,"How can there be any love, which is not from creation?
11248But what are the delights of the bodily senses without those of the soul?
11248But who does not know that good and truth are two distinct principles, like love and wisdom?
11248Can any human being know and decide who is in heart an adulterer, and who a conjugial partner?
11248Can light be one with the eye, or sound with the ear?
11248Can love be forced?
11248Can the love of the sex, when it enters by the eyes into the thoughts, stop at the face of a woman?
11248Can these possibly be one in any other sense than as principal and instrumental are one?
11248Consequently how can a man be a man without such a likeness of God in him?"
11248Consequently what were they all before the sun, or how could they subsist?
11248Do not adulteries take place with devils in hell, and marriages with angels in heaven?
11248Do you not know, that the soul of a man is in his seed?"
11248Does it not descend instantly into the breast, and beyond it?
11248Does not each derive life from heat, and understanding from light, by the operation of nature?"
11248Does not he who perpetually loves a married partner, love her with the whole mind and with the whole body?
11248Does not that which is posterior subsist from what is prior, as it exists from what is prior?
11248Does this love, as to its ultimate effect with a wife, differ at all from love as to its effect with a harlot?
11248For is not the nature of his life determined by the nature of the instruction he receives?
11248Has not every one the strength of this love either hereditarily, or from bodily health, or from temperance of life, or from warmth of climate?
11248Have you forgotten the Lord''s words, that whosoever would be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven must be the least of all, and the servant of all?
11248Have you known any thing heretofore about heaven and hell, or the light and heat of this world?
11248Have you known anything about the sun of this world from which our light and heat proceed?
11248Have you known anything till now concerning a life after death?
11248Have you never heard that the understanding is without any sense or discernment in mysteries, which constitute the whole of religion?
11248Have you not till now denied such a life, and degraded yourselves to the beasts?
11248He afterwards asked how I proved the SECOND,"that a saving faith is to believe on him?"
11248He departed, and came to them, and told them the reason of his coming, and requested that they would teach him what delight is?
11248He inquired,"What?"
11248He looked at me; upon which I said,"Why do you look at me?"
11248He said,"I heard,''Do you know anything concerning heaven, salvation, and happiness in heaven?''"
11248He then took his leave of them, and inquired where he might find the wise?
11248Hereupon I asked,"What do the circles about the head represent?"
11248Hereupon his companions smiled and said,"You conjecture right: who can behold such beauties near and not feel some excitement?"
11248Hereupon some of the bystanders asked,"What is the chaste love of the sex?"
11248Hereupon the ancient sages asked,"What do the people on the earth think of such information?"
11248Hereupon the men rejoined,"Are you not females as before?"
11248Hereupon the men were silent; nevertheless they murmured,"What is conjugial love?"
11248Hereupon the novitiates observed,"If there be a love of the sex devoid of all allurement, what in such cases is the love of the sex?"
11248Hereupon the two novitiates asked,"Are there in heaven human forms altogether similar to those in the natural world?"
11248Hereupon they all asked,"What is the delight of the soul, and whence is it derived?"
11248Hereupon they turned themselves away and muttered,"What harm can this do her?"
11248How can a love that is not created be implanted in any one?''
11248How can any one know whether he performs uses from self- love, or from the love of uses?
11248How can posterior things produce prior, or exterior things produce interior, or grosser things produce purer?
11248How can the chaste love of the sex be the sweetest of all loves, when chastity deprives it of its sweetness?
11248How can there be a love which divides and separates?
11248How can you utter a question which so wounds our ears?
11248How then can they excite the idea of one God?"
11248I again asked,"What miracles then do you mean?"
11248I also asked,"Why are there two marriage- chambers?"
11248I also went thither in spirit, and asked the keeper who was standing at the entrance, whether I also might enter?
11248I approached them, and, greeting them with a salutation of peace, respectfully asked them,"For what purpose are you here below?"
11248I asked also, whether those wives afterwards return to their husbands and live with them?
11248I asked further,"How many are there in your society?"
11248I asked him again,"Do you know what befalls those who sink under ground?"
11248I asked him,"What have you preached?"
11248I asked the wives,"Why are you unwilling, and consequently can not say so?"
11248I asked therefore what they were conversing about?
11248I asked, why they do not hire for themselves unmarried women?
11248I asked,"Whence have you this wisdom?"
11248I heard a sweet sound; and I asked the angel, what was the subject of their glorification in that quarter respecting the Lord?
11248I inquired the reason of this?
11248I inquired,"How is a feminine principle produced from a male soul?"
11248I inquired,"Where are the priests?
11248I inquired,"Why do you say_ one_ arcanum; when I came here to learn several?"
11248I next asked him,"How could you so speak, when you are yourself a fraudulent dealer, an adulterer, and a devil?"
11248I replied,"I intend to do so: what harm can come from it?"
11248I replied,"Why should I not?
11248I replied,''Is not this heaven?
11248I said further, that a revelation has been made at this day by the Lord concerning the life of man after death?
11248I said,"Are they beasts then?"
11248I said,"I demonstrate it thus: Is not God one and individual?
11248I said,"What do you mean by following the light?"
11248I take upon me to say, their reply will be,''What do you mean?
11248I then asked him again,"Are not your idols of different forms?
11248I then asked the angels,"Whence have devils such rationality?"
11248I then asked the other,"What do you say to this?"
11248I then asked the wives, Whether the white dove in the window afterwards appeared?
11248I then asked them whether marriage was distinguishable?
11248I then asked them,"What do you see?"
11248I then asked,"Do you know anything more respecting the wisdom of your husbands which gives you delight?"
11248I then asked,"If such a union exists, is it possible for you to look at any other woman than your own?"
11248I then asked,"Since conjugial love dwells there, where then does conjugial cold dwell?"
11248I then asked,"What is within in that sanctuary, from which so great a light proceeds?"
11248I then asked,"What must be the nature of that religion by which a man is saved?"
11248I then asked,"Whence arises that which you call conjugial cold?"
11248I then asked,"Why did the little boy call you Maidens of the fountain?"
11248I then said to him,"Do you not see that you are insane from the phantasy of super- eminence?"
11248I then said to him,"How can you be so insane?
11248I then said,"Since you were cast down, how can you rise again out of hell?"
11248If God be one and individual, is not he one person?
11248If any man had the eyes of an owl, which would he call light and which darkness?
11248If chastity be predicated of the love of the sex, is not this destroying the very thing of which it is predicated?
11248If he be one person, is not the trinity in that person?
11248If it be not reciprocal, does it not rebound and become nothing?"
11248If our husbands possess any portion of it, still we do not; whence then come its delights to us?
11248If such be a man''s lot after death, would it not be better to be born an ass than a man?
11248If you should ask the females in heaven,''What is love extra- conjugial?''
11248If you should then ask them,''What is love truly conjugial?''
11248In like manner, what are love and wisdom without their use?
11248In the meantime I asked the husbands,"Have you a like sense of conjugial love?"
11248Is he not born in a state of greater ignorance than the beasts?
11248Is it a vapor, or some wind floating in the atmosphere, or some thing hidden in the bowels of the earth?
11248Is it any thing or nothing?
11248Is it anything?
11248Is it not a contradiction in terms to talk of such a love?
11248Is it not also contrary to reason to believe, that the soul can be re- clothed with its body?
11248Is it not heaven where any one is free; and is not he free who is allowed to love as many as he pleases?
11248Is it not its beginning, its support, and its fulfilment?
11248Is it not joy and gladness?
11248Is it possible that nature from any principle of love, by any principle of wisdom, should provide such things?
11248Is not conjugial love a chaste, pure, and holy love?
11248Is not conjugial love alone mutual and reciprocal?
11248Is not conjugial love from creation; and does not this love exist between two who are capable of becoming one?
11248Is not every man such as instruction makes him,--insane from false principles, or wise from truths?
11248Is not it the catechism?
11248Is not light changed into shade when the eye comes out of sunshine, and also when it is kept intensely fixed on the sun?
11248Is not love with a married partner the love of the sex, which is so universal that it exists even among birds and beasts?
11248Is not our spiritual light, which enlightens the sight of the mind, become thick darkness with them?
11248Is not subsistence perpetual existence?
11248Is not such love barren and devoid of life?"
11248Is not the act alike?"
11248Is not the body eaten up by worms, mice, and fish?
11248Is not the case similar with the brute creation, especially with birds which unite in pairs?
11248Is not the fruit good?"
11248Is not the lust similar, and the delight similar?
11248Is not the soul made blessed by the muttering of words from a devout heart concerning expiation, satisfaction, and imputation, and not by works?"
11248Is not the whole human race, and thence the whole angelic heaven, the seed of that love?
11248Is not there a trinity?
11248Is not this a mere fiction?
11248Is not this climbing above the sphere of every one''s intelligence?"
11248Is not this love with every one according to the state of his potency?
11248Is not this marriage spiritual, which enters the natural marriage of husband and wife?"
11248Is not this subject above the sphere of all human understanding?"
11248Is not this the case with such as have been deprived of memory?
11248Is not this vigor the very measure, degree, and basis of that love?
11248Is she not born subject to man''s will; to serve, and not to domineer?
11248Is there any wisdom that can bring conviction that to love another person''s wife merits eternal damnation?"
11248Is there anything true in the nature of things, but what a man makes true?
11248It is well known that religion is called a bond; but it is asked, for whom?
11248It was next said to him from behind,"Do you know that those who are in hell are insane from falses?"
11248It was then asked them,"Why have you infested the good?"
11248It was then said to me,"Do you wish to see them where they now are?"
11248Lastly they asked,"Is it not expedient that a priest be present and minister at the marriage ceremony?"
11248May not their lot in such a case be compared with that of prisoners bound hand and foot, and lying in a dungeon?
11248Moreover families, otherwise barren, are provided with offspring; and is not this an advantage and not a loss?
11248Moreover, is not this love carnal?
11248Moreover, what is conjugial love but heat, which becomes virtue or potency, if the heat supplied from the sun be added to it?"
11248Moreover, without these three doctrines there can be no religion: for does not religion relate to life?
11248Must he not learn to walk and to speak?
11248Must not the love of the one know and acknowledge the love of the other, so that when they meet they may unite of themselves?
11248Nevertheless I was still urgent, and said,"What is more detestable than for a man to mix his soul with the soul of a husband in his wife?
11248Nevertheless all the three, infatuated by their own intelligence, burned with a desire to eat of it, and said to each other,"Why should not we?
11248On hearing this I asked,"How can any one know whether he performs uses from self- love, or from the love of uses?
11248On hearing this account, some of the ancient_ sophi_ asked,"What were the conjectures and conclusions formed from the circumstances you have related?"
11248On hearing this exclamation, the hundreds of the wise ones turned themselves, and said one among another with loud laughter,"Is this gross stupidity?
11248On hearing this, I asked the two angels from what society of heaven they were?
11248On hearing this, I asked,"What he meant by the darkness of the north, the fires of the west, and the delusive lights of the south?"
11248On hearing this, the two young novitiates rejoiced, and said,"There still exists in heaven a love of the sex; what else is conjugial love?"
11248On seeing him I was alarmed, and cried out,"Approach no nearer; tell me, whence are you?"
11248On seeing this, the conducting angel followed them, and asked why they retired so suddenly without entering into conversation?
11248On the ancients in Greece, who inquired of strangers, What news from the earth?
11248On their consenting, I asked,"How do you wives know that the delights of conjugial love are the same as the delights of wisdom?"
11248One of us five, who is a priest, has also added predestination as a cause of that virtue or potency, saying,''Are not marriages predestinated?
11248Some time ago, when meditating on this subject, I asked the zealous angels concerning the seat of jealousy?
11248Supposing anything of a man to live after death, must it not resemble a spectre?
11248Supposing he never learnt to walk, would he ever stand upright?
11248THIRD, What is signified by the tree of life, and what by the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and what by eating thereof?
11248Take away nature, and can you think at all?
11248Tell us, therefore, how a love, which not only is not from creation, but is also contrary to creation, could possibly exist?
11248The angels asked,"Have the inhabitants of the earth had no previous knowledge respecting correspondences?"
11248The angels inquired whether any other things have been revealed?
11248The angels inquired,"What do they know concerning our world, and concerning heaven and hell?"
11248The angels said,"Did not they know this heretofore?"
11248The angels said,"What concerning the life after death?
11248The angels said,"Who does not know that the delights of conjugial love exceed those of all other loves?
11248The confirmator answered,"Will you, who are a man, think in any case from appearance?
11248The first inquiry shall be, Whether religion be anything?
11248The first, who were determined adulterers, replied,"What is God?"
11248The men on seeing us hastened towards us and said,"Whence are you; and how came you here?
11248The president answered,"WHAT NEWS IS THERE FROM THE EARTH CONCERNING OUR WORLD AND HEAVEN?"
11248The satyrs who as to the feet appeared as panthers, spoke concerning NATURE, and said,"What is there but nature?
11248The second, who were confirmed adulterers, said,"Are not all things of nature?
11248The strangers on hearing of judicial proceedings in heaven, said,"To what purpose are such proceedings?
11248The three novitiates, on hearing this, asked,"Does a similar love exist between married partners in the heavens as in the earths?"
11248The three novitiates, on hearing this, said,"Is it not written in the Word, that in heaven they are not given in marriage, because they are angels?"
11248Then I desired to know their opinion concerning the first article of inquiry, Whether religion be anything?
11248Then a certain wise personage, one of the marriage- guests, said,"Do you understand the meaning of what you have seen?"
11248Then addressing myself to one that was entering, I asked,"What house is this?"
11248Then he spoke openly and from the heart, and said,"What is truth?
11248Then they were asked,"What connection have joys and delights and the happiness thence resulting, with a state of inactivity?
11248Then we asked,"What are your religious notions respecting marriages?"
11248There were some canons present, whom I asked whether those had really been popes?
11248There were three arcana, FIRST, What is the image of God, and what the likeness of God, into which man(_ homo_) was created?
11248These looked into my eyes most shrewdly; upon which I asked them,"Why do you do so?"
11248These were running to and fro like wild beasts, crying out,"Where are the women?"
11248They asked again,"Why did not you men stand by the bridegroom, now the husband, as the six virgins stood by the bride, now the wife?"
11248They asked me,"Who taught you to question us respecting the delights of that love?
11248They asked us,"Who let you in through the grove?"
11248They asked,"What are they?"
11248They asked,"What?"
11248They began with the first subject of inquiry, WHAT IS THE IMAGE OF GOD, AND WHAT THE LIKENESS OF GOD, INTO WHICH MAN WAS CREATED?
11248They further asked,"Since he represented the Lord, and she the church, why did she sit at his right hand?"
11248They replied, that they had attended only to the sound of their voices, and not to the matter; and what is it?
11248They replied,"But little;"and then they asked him,"Why was the bridegroom, who is now a husband, dressed in that particular manner?"
11248They replied,"What is sin?
11248They replied,"What is the Decalogue?
11248They replied,"Who ever came up thence to give us information?"
11248They then asked,"What is the meaning of so many tables?"
11248They were next asked, Whether they saw any good in marriage, and any evil in adultery?
11248They were then asked,"What is your delight?"
11248They were two married partners from heaven, and they accosted me; and because I was musing on what I had just seen, they inquired,"What did you see?"
11248Those who as to the feet appeared like calves, spoke concerning MARRIAGES, and said,"What are marriages but licit adulteries?
11248To reason only whether a thing be, is it not like reasoning about a cap or a shoe, whether they fit or not, before they are put on?
11248To which the angelic spirits replied,"Look up into heaven and you will receive an answer:"and they asked,"Why are we to look up into heaven?"
11248We ask therefore now in the first place, What is meant by the third proceeding divine essential, which is called use?"
11248We followed them; and they asked us whence we came, and what was our business there?
11248We inquired,"What lot?"
11248We next requested him to tell us from his heart, whether he was in joke, or whether he really believed that nothing is true but what a man makes true?
11248We then asked him what he was now writing?
11248We then asked,"Which of you?"
11248We then civilly requested him to tell us, what lay concealed within, which excited his fears?
11248We then said,"Were you not born men of reason; whence then have you this visionary infatuation?"
11248What are heat and light without that which contains them?
11248What are light and darkness but a state of the eye?
11248What are they all without the sun; or how could they subsist a single moment in the sun''s absence?
11248What can be more anxious and miserable than such an expectation?
11248What changes has wisdom undergone?
11248What constitutes beauty of countenance, but red and white, and the lovely mixture thereof with each other?
11248What distinction is there between a man and a beast, except that a man can speak articulately and a beast sonorously?

11248What is become of those paradisiacal objects?"
11248What is conjugial love but the love of the sex?
11248What is it that keeps the whole bodily system in its due expansion and tension, but the tension of the mind?
11248What is life but love and wisdom?
11248What is life with one woman only, but captivity and imprisonment?
11248What is love without wisdom but a mere infatuation?
11248What is marriage but allowed adultery?
11248What is more obvious than that nature is all in all?
11248What is religion but a device to catch and bind the vulgar?"
11248What is sweeter than promiscuous liberty, variety, deflorations, schemes to deceive husbands, and plans of adulterous hypocrisy?
11248What is that which you do not see?''
11248What is the blackness then which envelops it but a shade, which ought not to determine the raven''s color?
11248What is the human body but an organ of life?
11248What is the human soul but such a form?
11248What is the soul, or where is it in the interim?
11248What is there above nature but the sun?"
11248What is use but the actual love of our neighbor?
11248What law and what judge imputes a like criminality to the fornicator as to the adulterer?

11248What man of uncorrupted reason does not see that such instincts are not communicated to bees from the natural world?
11248What matters it whether we know these things or not?
11248What then is light but the state of the eye?
11248What woman in such case can unite her love to what is cold; and what man can unite the insanity of his haughtiness to the love of intelligence?

11248When I had observed this, an angel presented himself, and said,"Do you understand what you have seen?"
11248When I had thus spoken, the two angels asked me,"How could evil exist, when nothing but good had existed from creation?
11248When he heard of the difference between what is spiritual and what is natural, he said,"What do you mean by that difference?
11248When he observed that he was in the spiritual world, he immediately asked where heaven and hell were, and also their nature and quality?
11248When he saw these things, he was amazed, and said,"What do I see?
11248When silence was obtained, they were addressed by a kind of president of the assembly, and asked,"WHAT NEWS FROM THE EARTH?"
11248When this vigor fails, must not the love itself also fail and grow cold?
11248Whence are the senses of these organs but from life, and their forms but from nature?
11248Whence is a man(_ homo_) a man but from wisdom?
11248Where am I?
11248Where were those things previous to the sun''s existence?
11248While I was thus amazed at the great multitude of such persons, there stood near me an angel, who asked me,"What is the subject of your meditation?"
11248Who can convert concupiscence, which is innate in every man, into such chastity, thus into somewhat not itself, and yet love?
11248Who can draw the conclusion, that he that has committed fornication can not be more chaste in marriage?
11248Who can love what is not love?
11248Who can measure its quality and quantity?
11248Who does not foresee, that if the women courted the men, they would seldom be accepted?
11248Who does not grow tired of one?
11248Who does not know that a man lives after death?"
11248Who does not know that whatever a man does in the beginning, is from concupiscence, because from the natural man?
11248Who does not know what delight is?
11248Who does not know, that he that is an adulterer is not on that account a murderer, a thief, and a false witness, or wishes to be so?
11248Who does not know, that the body does not act of itself, but the will by the body?
11248Who does not see that such gesticulators are men only as to external figure, and not as to internal form?
11248Who does not see that this is contrary to the laws of nature?
11248Who does not see, that unless a man was allowed to judge respecting the moral life of those who live with him in the world, society would perish?
11248Who else is to be approached, and who else can be?
11248Who has ever contemplated it with any idea of thought?
11248Who has ever seen it with the eye?
11248Who knows any distinction between them?
11248Who sees God?
11248Who sees them?
11248Who would not swear from them that it is so?
11248Who, but a person of vile character, can fulfil the duties of the conjugial bed, and at the same time have commerce with a strumpet?
11248Why did God permit this?"
11248Why did you not question our husbands?"
11248Why do not you ask, whether we live with one harlot?
11248Why is a plurality of wives denied us, when yet it has been granted, and at this day is granted in the whole world about us?
11248Why therefore do those three priests preach that adulterers have no acknowledgement of God?
11248Wondering at all this, I looked up into heaven, and inquired where those horsemen were going?
11248Wondering what this could mean, I speedily left the house, and asked one of those who were running, what was the matter at the palace?
11248also that the mouth does not speak of itself, but the thought by the mouth?
11248also, who can rightly perceive discordant and grating sounds, but he that is well versed in the doctrine and study of harmonious numbers?
11248and are not these things appertaining to a man in his soul, and by derivation from the soul in his head and body?
11248and are they incapable on that account of acknowledging and worshipping God?
11248and consequently, is not faith of charity, and charity of faith?
11248and do you not hold it forth as a bait and enticement to accede to your new opinions?
11248and he replied,"How can you say so, when we absolutely seem to ourselves, and are also acknowledged by each other, to have such distinction?"
11248and how can a man do the latter and shun the former but as from himself?
11248and how can a spectre eat and drink, or how can it enjoy conjugial delights?
11248and if it be a state of the eye, is not light darkness, and darkness light?
11248and in Paul, that adulterers can by no means enter heaven?"
11248and in proportion as that affection grows warm, do not they also grow warm in the same degree?
11248and in what does this delight originate but in the sport of love and wisdom?
11248and is not he that is insane from false principles, entirely possessed with an imagination that he is wiser than he that is wise from truths?
11248and is not it hell where any one is a servant: and is not he a servant who is obliged to keep to one?"
11248and is not life in the whole and in every part?"
11248and is not the red derived from love, and the white from wisdom?
11248and is not their natural light, which only enlightens the bodily sight, become brightness to them?
11248and is there not there and nowhere else a constant succession of satisfactions and pleasures?
11248and they said,"What are polygamical marriages?
11248and this being the case, are not the progeny thence issuing and the means conducive thereto, predestinated also?''
11248and what do I smell now?
11248and what has a carnal principle in common with the spiritual state of the church?
11248and what holds the heavens together with this love?"
11248and what is an essence without a form, but an imaginary entity?
11248and what is life but to shun evils and do goods?
11248and what is love with wisdom without use, but a puff of the mind?
11248and what is more delightful than to set the love at liberty?
11248and what is nature but their recipient, whereby they may produce their effects or uses?
11248and what is sweeter than adulterous hypocrisies, and the making fools of husbands?"
11248and what the flesh does from the spirit, is not that spiritual?
11248and when I asked him concerning these words what he heard, he said,"I heard,''Do you know that those who are in heaven are wise from truths?''"
11248and when the latter words were spoken to him from behind, he said that he heard,"Do you know that those who are in hell, are insane from falses?"
11248and whence comes the tension of the mind but from administrations and employments, while the discharge of them is attended with delight?
11248and who but the vulgar and common herd of mankind acknowledges what he does not see and understand?
11248and who can discern the various kinds of insanity, but he that is wise, or that knows what wisdom is?
11248and who is not revived by several?
11248and who knows what is unchaste, dishonorable, unbecoming, and ugly, unless he knows what is chaste, honorable, becoming, and beautiful?
11248and why is there such a vociferation on that account?"
11248are not all in heaven inspired and led by God, and in consequence thereof taught what is just and right?
11248are not all things relating to love and all things relating to wisdom essentials of that form?
11248at that instant they saw a moth running upon my paper, and asked in surprise what was the name of that nimble little creature?
11248consequently, how can surfaces, which constitute the expanse, produce centres?
11248do you not see that this is true?"
11248does not he that lives well also believe well?
11248for what is spiritual but that which is natural in a higher state of purity?"
11248he answered,"He is still my servant; what is an emperor before God?
11248he replied,"There I am a devil, but here I am an angel of light: do you not see that my head is surrounded by a lucid sphere?
11248he replied,"What shall I say?
11248how came this bird of night here?''
11248how can two contraries appear true?"
11248in like manner, who can clearly discern what is the quality of adultery, unless he has first clearly discerned what is the quality of marriage?
11248is it not a stench?
11248is it not like the difference between what is more or less pure?
11248is it not straw and dry wood?
11248of the decalogue?
11248the fifth, Whether there be eternal life after death?"
11248the fourth, Whether there be a heaven and a hell?
11248the garments were resplendent as with a flaming light; and on their asking the angel,"Whence is this?"
11248the second, Whether there be such a thing as salvation or not?
11248the third, Whether one religion be more efficacious than another?
11248there appeared as it were lakes of fire and brimstone; and I asked him, why the hells in that quarter had such an appearance?
11248they said,"Every one;"and we asked,"How every one?
11248they said,"Where is the sin?
11248what is a female?"
11248what is to hinder me?
11248what need then is there of judges?"
11248whence can it have clothes, houses, meats,& c.?
11248whence do you procure parchment and paper, pens and ink?"
11248who conceives that God governs, and can govern the universe, with everything belonging thereto?
11248who understands what God is?
