12933 | Heart of my heart, is this well done? |
12933 | How can any adversity come to him who hath a wife? |
12933 | Never mind wot I am, sir--''oo are you? |
12933 | Question, What is justice in Pigdom? 12933 Rheumatism? |
12933 | The Anxworks package-- I will not deceive you, Sweet; why should I? |
12933 | Together, I s''pose? |
12933 | Was what sarcasm? |
12933 | Well,said Hawkins,"what did he say to you?" |
12933 | What are you reading? |
12933 | What did I say-- really I have forgotten? |
12933 | What is your favorite book? |
12933 | Which boat do you want? |
12933 | Who? |
12933 | Would you like to become a telegraph- operator? |
12933 | You are twenty- five now? 12933 You mean Walt Whitman?" |
12933 | You speak of death as a matter of course-- you are not afraid to die? |
12933 | A policeman passed us running and called back,"I say, Hawkins, is that you? |
12933 | Alone? |
12933 | And did I want to buy a bull calf? |
12933 | And is n''t that so? |
12933 | And to whom do we owe it that he did leave-- Justice Shallow or Ann Hathaway, or both? |
12933 | Are these remains of stately forests symbols of a race of men that, too, have passed away? |
12933 | Assertive? |
12933 | Besides, who was there to take up his pen? |
12933 | Brown?" |
12933 | But it is all good-- I accept it all and give thanks-- you have not forgotten my chant to death?" |
12933 | But still, should not England have a fitting monument to Shakespeare? |
12933 | But who inspired Dorothy? |
12933 | But why should I tell about it here? |
12933 | Ca n''t you go with me?" |
12933 | Cawn''t ye hadmire''i m on that side of the wall as well as this?" |
12933 | Could it be possible that these rustics were poets? |
12933 | Dark Mother, always gliding near with soft feet, Have none chanted for thee a chant of fullest welcome? |
12933 | Did Mademoiselle Mars use it? |
12933 | Did you ever hear of him?" |
12933 | Do you know the scene?" |
12933 | Do you not know what books are to a child hungry for truth, that has no books? |
12933 | Does she protest, and find fault? |
12933 | Edison?" |
12933 | Edison?" |
12933 | Genius has its times of straying off into the infinite-- and then what is the good wife to do for companionship? |
12933 | Had Gavroche ever seen them? |
12933 | Have n''t you noticed that men of sixty have no clearer vision than men of forty? |
12933 | He answered back,"What t''ell is the matter with you fellows?" |
12933 | He brings to bear an energy on every subject he touches( and what subject has he not touched?) |
12933 | He evidently was acquainted with five different languages, and the range of his intellect was worldwide; but where did he get this vast erudition? |
12933 | Honeydew: Ay, Jarvis; but what will fill their mouths in the meantime? |
12933 | How can I get in?" |
12933 | How did she acquire this knowledge? |
12933 | How is any education acquired if not through effort prompted by desire? |
12933 | How? |
12933 | I did likewise, and was greeted with a resounding smack which surprised me a bit, but I managed to ask,"Did you run away?" |
12933 | I heard Old Walt chuckle behind me, talking incoherently to himself, and then he said,"You are wondering why I live in such a place as this?" |
12933 | I touched my hat and said,"Ah, excuse me, Mr. Falstaff, you are the bouncer?" |
12933 | In a voice full of defense the County Down watchman said:"Ah, now, and how did I know but that it was a forgery? |
12933 | Is it not too bad? |
12933 | Is not the child nearer to God than the man? |
12933 | Is not this enough? |
12933 | Is this much or little? |
12933 | Is this to his credit? |
12933 | Just below was the Stone pier and there stood Mrs. Gamp, and I heard her ask:"And which of all them smoking monsters is the Anxworks boat, I wonder? |
12933 | More than a thousand years before Christ, an Arab chief asked,"If a man die shall he live again?" |
12933 | Need I say that the girl who made the remark just quoted had drunk of life''s cup to the very lees? |
12933 | Next the public wanted to know about this thing--"What are you folks doing out there in that buckwheat town?" |
12933 | Of course, these girls are aware that we admire them-- how could they help it? |
12933 | Once they urged him to go with them to an exhibition at Kensington, but he smiled feebly as he lit his pipe and said,"An Art Exhibition? |
12933 | Philip asked the eunuch a needless question when he inquired,"Understandest thou what thou readest?" |
12933 | Proud? |
12933 | Say, did you know him?" |
12933 | So I put the question to him direct:"Did you see Buffalo Bill?" |
12933 | Stubborn? |
12933 | Then the preacher spoke and his voice was sorrowful:"Oh, but I made a botch of it-- was it sarcasm or was it not?" |
12933 | Then what have I done concerning which the public wishes to know? |
12933 | Then what? |
12933 | Then why a monument to Shakespeare? |
12933 | These things being true, and all the sentiments quoted coming from"good"but blindly zealous men, is it a wonder that the Artist is not understood? |
12933 | Tomorrow we go-- where? |
12933 | Victor Hugo has said something on this subject which runs about like this: Why a monument to Shakespeare? |
12933 | WILLIAM M. THACKERAY TO MR. BROOKFIELD September 16, 1849 Have you read Dickens? |
12933 | Was ever a Jones so honored before? |
12933 | Was ever woman more honestly and better praised than Dorothy? |
12933 | Were the waters troubled in order that they might heal the people? |
12933 | What architect has the skill to build a tower so high as the name of Shakespeare? |
12933 | What bronze can equal the bronze of"Hamlet"? |
12933 | What can bronze or marble do for him? |
12933 | What capital, were it even in London, could rumble around it as tumultuously as Macbeth''s perturbed soul? |
12933 | What do you mean by equity? |
12933 | What edifice can equal thought? |
12933 | What framework of cedar or oak will last as long as"Othello"? |
12933 | What is Pig Poetry? |

12933 | When trouble, adversity or bewilderment comes to the homesick traveler in an American hotel, to whom can he turn for consolation? |
12933 | Where, one asks in amazement, did this remarkable man find the inspiration for carrying forward his great work? |
12933 | Who can recount the innumerable biographies that begin thus:"In his youth, our subject had for his constant reading, Plutarch''s Lives, etc."? |
12933 | Who can tell? |
12933 | Who could harm the kind vagrant harper? |
12933 | Who made the Pig? |
12933 | Who wrote it? |
12933 | Whom did he ever hurt? |
12933 | Why did he not learn at the feet of Sir Thomas Lucy and write his own epitaph? |
12933 | Why, do n''t you know? |
12933 | Will this convey the thought? |
12933 | Would the author be so kind as to change it? |
12933 | Would they have been so great had they not suffered? |
12933 | Yet love is life and hate is death, so how can spite benefit? |
12933 | now, wot you want?" |
12933 | where the mob surges, cursed with idle curiosity to see the graves of kings and nobodies? |
36773 | ''A thousand pound, Hal? |
36773 | ''But, even so,''it may be said,''why should the poet trouble himself about figures, events, and actions? |
36773 | ''Thou hast seen a farmer''s dog bark at a beggar, and the creature run from the cur? |
36773 | ''Why four kisses, you will say, why four? |
36773 | ( 2) How does a series of successive experiences form_ one_ poem? |
36773 | ), or, again, when he portrayed the love of Antony for Cleopatra, was he using his personal experience? |
36773 | Again, if we turn to the drama and ask why the numerous tragedies of the nineteenth century poets so rarely satisfy, what is the answer? |
36773 | And again, with this native genius and his long laborious life, did he produce anything like as many great poems as might have been expected? |
36773 | And compare the enchantment of the question,_ What, are you stepping westward_? |
36773 | And how are we to say that the greatness of most sublime objects is apprehended as incomparable or immeasurable? |
36773 | And how can it have been equally the duty of Orestes to kill his mother and not to kill her?'' |
36773 | And if any one objected, we should answer with Sir Toby Belch,''Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?'' |
36773 | And if not, why do they take it for granted that the others were? |
36773 | And is any one of Browning''s dramas a great play? |
36773 | And now, when all is said, the question will still recur, though now in quite another sense, What does poetry mean? |
36773 | And what does our feeling imply as to the characters of Falstaff and the new King? |
36773 | And what is its subject? |
36773 | And what was the result of this shock? |
36773 | And what, I answer, could be made of a man poking his stick into a pond to find leeches? |
36773 | And when, in the second place, we look at Falstaff''s actions, what do we find? |
36773 | And, if not, why not? |
36773 | And, if there can, is greatness of some other sort always present in such cases, and essential to the sublime effect? |
36773 | Antiquarians may naturally wish to know more; but what more is needed for intelligent enjoyment of the plays? |
36773 | But is there nothing missing? |
36773 | But what can we set? |
36773 | But what of that? |
36773 | But why should it not have its usual meaning? |
36773 | Can there be sublimity when such greatness is absent? |
36773 | Can this possibly be meant for an act of private vengeance on the part of the Chief Justice, unknown to the King? |
36773 | Can we feel sure that she would not have sacrificed him if she could have saved herself by doing so? |
36773 | Can we imagine any one of those four either inspired or imprisoned as Shelley was by the doctrines of Godwin? |
36773 | Could any of them have seen in the French Revolution no more significance than Scott appears to have detected? |
36773 | Could anything be more_ borné_ than Coleridge''s professed reason for not translating_ Faust_? |
36773 | Could he really have supposed that metre is no more than a''convenience,''which contributes nothing of any account to the influence of poetry? |
36773 | Could that well be the world of what we call emphatically a''great poem''? |
36773 | Death-- and who could in such a case bear with death? |
36773 | Did they ever''spell ruin to managers''if they were, through the whole cast, satisfactorily acted? |
36773 | Do not we ourselves adopt this point of view to some extent when we go to the theatre now? |
36773 | Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an Intelligence and make it a Soul? |
36773 | Does Shakespeare put them all in with no purpose at all, or in defiance of his own intentions? |
36773 | For what do they evidently imply? |
36773 | Granted that in the sublime there is always some exceeding and overwhelming greatness, is that_ all_ there is? |
36773 | Have you your wits? |
36773 | He might easily be''reserved,''but is it not surprising to find him described as haughty, prouder than Lucifer, inhumanly arrogant? |
36773 | How but by the medium of a world like this? |
36773 | How does it differ from the language of the_ Hymn to Intellectual Beauty_? |
36773 | How long would they have continued to relish this''perpetual feast of nectared sweets''if their eyes had been feasted too? |
36773 | How shall we reconcile with these facts the idea that in his day the female parts were, on the whole, much less adequately played than the male? |
36773 | How then are souls to be made? |
36773 | How then are these sparks which are God to have identity given them-- so as ever to possess a bliss peculiar to each one''s individual existence? |
36773 | How, again, remembering him and others, should I venture to praise my predecessors? |
36773 | I can imagine such happiness carried to an extreme, but what must it end in? |
36773 | If the poet already knew exactly what he meant to say, why should he write the poem? |
36773 | If this, then, is the nature of Poetry in the widest sense, how does the poet, in the special sense, differ from other unusually creative souls? |
36773 | If we go below consciousness, what is it that happens in us? |
36773 | If we omit all reference to ethical or substantial powers and interests, what have we left? |
36773 | In fact( how could he fail to take the warning?) |
36773 | In his early poem_ Sleep and Poetry_ Keats asks himself the question, And can I ever bid these joys farewell? |
36773 | In the first place, are there no negative instances? |
36773 | In the first three Acts of our play what is there resembling this? |
36773 | Is all this insignificant? |
36773 | Is it impossible to find anything sublime which does_ not_ show this greatness? |
36773 | Is it not an astonishing proof of Shelley''s powers that the_ Cenci_ was ever written? |
36773 | Is it not pathetic? |
36773 | Is it not strange, let me add, to think that Keats and his friends were probably unconscious of the extraordinary merit of this poem? |
36773 | Is it surprising that the whole value should then be found in the form? |
36773 | Is it true that Keats was untroubled by that sense of contrast between ideal and real which haunted Shelley and was so characteristic of the time? |
36773 | Is not this a quotation from the_ Hymn_: Spirit of BEAUTY that dost consecrate With thine own hues all thou dost shine upon? |
36773 | Is not this the condition of the child in_ We are Seven_? |
36773 | Is not_ Hamlet_, if you choose so to regard it, the best melodrama in the world? |
36773 | Is the fact really as it has just been stated? |
36773 | Is the_ Ring and the Book_, however fine in parts, a great whole, or comparable as a whole with_ Andrea del Sarto_ or_ Rabbi ben Ezra_? |
36773 | Is there any standard of the''usual''here? |
36773 | Is there not in every case some further characteristic? |
36773 | Is there not such good in Macbeth? |
36773 | It is great, we say to ourselves, but why is it not greater still? |
36773 | It shows a wonderful abundance of genius: why does it not show an equal accomplishment? |
36773 | Know you what''tis you speak? |
36773 | NOTE G This new question has''quite another sense''than that of the question, What is the meaning or content expressed by the form of a poem? |
36773 | No more can man be happy in spite[? |
36773 | Now why did Shakespeare end his drama with a scene which, though undoubtedly striking, leaves an impression so unpleasant? |
36773 | Or is it likely that, once habituated to spectacular stimulants, they would have welcomed''the crystal clearness of the Muses''spring''? |
36773 | Others will teach us how to dare, And against fear our breast to steel; Others will strengthen us to bear-- But who, ah who, will make us feel? |
36773 | Otherwise how can you ask the question, In which of them does the value lie? |
36773 | See, for instance,_ Prelude_, xiii.,''Who doth not love to follow with his eye The windings of a public way?'' |
36773 | Should we expect him to make an''idol''of Milton, or to show a''strong predilection for such geniuses as Dante and Michael Angelo''? |
36773 | The bugles that so joyfully were blown? |
36773 | The cloud of mortal destiny, Others will front it fearlessly-- But who, like him, will put it by? |
36773 | The danger is in the lines, And five times to the child I said, Why, Edward, tell me why? |
36773 | The lordship of the world, we ask ourselves, what is it worth, and in what spirit do these''world- sharers''contend for it? |
36773 | The new question asks, What is it that the_ poem_, the unity of this content and form, is trying to express? |
36773 | These are his own words( from_ A Poet''s Epitaph_): But who is he, with modest looks, And clad in homely russet brown? |
36773 | These statements may appeal to us, but are they consistent with Shelley''s main views of poetry? |
36773 | This last, it will be agreed, is a startling statement; but is it a whit more extraordinary than the others? |
36773 | To what results might not this combination have led if his life had been as long as Wordsworth''s or even as Byron''s? |
36773 | Was he compelled then to use whatever he found? |
36773 | Was it his practice to do so? |
36773 | Were_ any_ produced except by Goethe? |
36773 | What are our feelings during this scene? |
36773 | What do these facts mean? |
36773 | What do we feel, and what are we meant to feel, as we witness this rejection? |
36773 | What does it matter whether the thing is a woman, or a kingdom, or a tattered cloak? |
36773 | What has become here of the substance of_ Paradise Lost_--the story, scenery, characters, sentiments, as they are in the poem? |
36773 | What have the gods in heaven to say against it? |
36773 | What is the conflict here? |
36773 | What is to be said, on Shelley''s theory, of his own melancholy lyrics, those''sweetest songs''that''tell of saddest thought''? |
36773 | What of satire, of the epic of conflict and war, or of tragic exhibitions of violent and destructive passion? |
36773 | What subject, then, in the measureless field of choice, is the poet to select and fashion into a body? |
36773 | What then does the formula''Poetry for poetry''s sake''tell us about this experience? |
36773 | What then is it? |
36773 | What, again, is the subject of_ Epipsychidion_? |
36773 | What, then, are the points where, in spite of its evident resemblance to Shelley''s, we feel a marked difference? |
36773 | What, then, makes it so? |
36773 | What, then, were the passions or the''affections of the blood''most dangerous to himself? |
36773 | Where is the throng, the tumult of the race? |
36773 | Which of them is great as a whole? |
36773 | Why has it fled? |
36773 | Why should we concern ourselves with Shakespeare''s theatre and audience? |
36773 | Why then should not the conflict of anything else that has sufficient value affect us tragically? |
36773 | Why, let us begin by asking, is_ Antony and Cleopatra_, though so wonderful an achievement, a play rarely acted? |
36773 | Why, then, are they sublime in the sparrow? |
36773 | Why, then, did Homer make them so? |
36773 | Why, when this painful incident seems to be over, should the Chief Justice return and send Falstaff to prison? |
36773 | Why? |
36773 | Wilt thou lift up Olympus?'' |
36773 | Would a mountain, a river, or a building be sublime to us if we did not read their masses and lines as symbols of force? |
36773 | Would such magnitude, however prodigious, seem to us sublime unless we insensibly construed it as the sign of power? |
36773 | Yes; but what do we mean by''_ its_ love and courage''? |
36773 | [ 11] If now we look towards the rear of this stage, what do we find? |
36773 | [ 15] What, again, is the psychical machinery employed when we attempt to measure the shoreless sea, or time, and find them immeasurable? |
36773 | [ 22] Did Shakespeare as he wrote them remember, I wonder, the dark lady to whose music he had listened( Sonnet 128)? |
36773 | [ 5] What, then, are the_ grounds_ of this position? |
36773 | [ 8] The reader will remember that in one sense of the question, Is there no more in the sublime than overwhelming greatness? |
36773 | _ Why_ are we tragically moved by the conflict of family and state? |
36773 | or,''How is it that you live, and what is it you do?'' |
36773 | xiii., where, to Cleopatra''s question after Actium,''What shall we do, Enobarbus?'' |
12632 | ''What do you do there?'' 12632 ''You know something about Falstaff, eh?'' |
12632 | A wot, sir? |
12632 | And so,he said,"you read Charles Lamb in America?" |
12632 | Did the epigram still live in his memory? |
12632 | Did you read the article on your friend De Quincey in the last Westminster? 12632 Do you hear that, Mary?" |
12632 | Have I space to say that I am very truly yours? 12632 Have you any idea of any such person to whom you could recommend me? |
12632 | Have you ever read these novels? |
12632 | How did Guizot bear himself? 12632 How is that, sir?" |
12632 | How''s missis, sir? |
12632 | I am not a hard man, am I, Procter? |
12632 | Is not Whipple coming here soon? |
12632 | Miss me? 12632 Not a bad one, is it?" |
12632 | P.S.--Can you contrive to send Mr. Willis a copy of the prose book? 12632 Think of reading in America? |
12632 | Was it not yesterday we spoke together? |
12632 | Was n''t it good of him,said the old man, in his tremulous voice,"to think of_ me_ before he had been in town twenty- four hours?" |
12632 | Well, my son,says the fond mother, looking up from her knitting- work,"what have you got for us to- night? |
12632 | What are you doing in America? 12632 Who is your fat friend?" |
12632 | Who would risk publishing a book for_ me_, the most unpopular writer in America? |
12632 | _ Who_ is going to elope? |
12632 | ''What ages?'' |
12632 | ( Is that her real name?) |
12632 | After all,--unless one could be Shakespeare, which( clearly) is not an easy matter,--of what value is a little puff of smoke from a review? |
12632 | Ah, dear me, I suspect that both William Shakespeare and Ben Jonson will survive him; do n''t you? |
12632 | Ah, my very dear friend, how can I ever thank you? |
12632 | Am I to return Dr. Parsons''s? |
12632 | And do you think it would be worth while? |
12632 | And how do you like the undertaker? |
12632 | And if I should be gone, will you let poor K---- have one? |
12632 | And is he of any profession? |
12632 | And will you also give him the time and place for Gad''s? |
12632 | Are all people of black blood cruel, cowardly, and treacherous? |
12632 | Are you acquainted with him?'' |
12632 | Are you equal to two nights running of good time?" |
12632 | As I do n''t know Mr. Eytinge''s number in Guildford Street, will you kindly undertake to let him know that we are going out with the great Detective? |
12632 | As I rose to take leave he said,--"Have I ever given you one of Lamb''s letters to carry home to America?" |
12632 | B., how many?'' |
12632 | But what did he die of?" |
12632 | But what have I to do with politics, or you? |
12632 | But when did the Times do justice to any one? |
12632 | But you will come this spring, will you not? |
12632 | By the by, are they on foolscap? |
12632 | By the way, are you not charmed at the Emperor''s marriage? |
12632 | By the way, when_ will_ you finish the bridge? |
12632 | Ca n''t you arrange it so that two or three or more sheets may be sent at once, on stated days, and so my journeys to the village be fewer? |
12632 | Ca n''t you bring Whipple with you?" |
12632 | Ca n''t you do it in the Transcript, and send her a copy? |
12632 | Can you contrive to send a copy of your edition of"Atherton"to Mr. Hawthorne? |
12632 | Could this be done with the Wonder- Book? |
12632 | Did I ever tell you a pretty story of him, when he was in England after Strasburg and before Boulogne, and which I know to be true? |
12632 | Did I tell you that I had been reading Louis Napoleon''s most charming three volumes full? |
12632 | Did I tell you that they are going to engrave a portrait of me by Haydon, now belonging to Mr. Bennoch, for the Dramatic Works? |
12632 | Did Mr. Whittier send his works, or do I owe them wholly to your kindness? |
12632 | Did ever mortal preside with such felicitous success as did Mr. Quincy? |
12632 | Did not he also like Dr. Holmes? |
12632 | Did you ever spend a winter in England? |
12632 | Did you get my last unworthy letter? |
12632 | Do it, or not?" |
12632 | Do they commit suicide in despair, or wrench open tight drawers and cupboards and hermetically sealed bottles for practice? |
12632 | Do they live in the house where we breakfasted?.... |
12632 | Do they sell crabs, shrimps, winkles, herrings? |
12632 | Do you ever reprint French books, or ever get them translated? |
12632 | Do you know him? |
12632 | Do you know one General G.? |
