On dirait, tournoyant dans les sombres mêlées, Des preux, raides, heurtant armures de carton. Hurrah! la bise siffle au grand bal des squelettes! Le gibet noir mugit comme un orgue de fer!

Whitely the tight-strung cordage a sparkling canvas aloft swing, Which to behold straightway with joy shall cheer me, with inward Joy, when a prosperous hour shall bring to thee happy returning. So for a while that charge did Theseus faithfully cherish.

Mager, ohne Fieber, nicht kalt, nicht sıcak, mit leeren Augen, ohne Hemd hebt sich der Junge unter dem Federbett, hängt sich an meinen Hals, flüstert mir ins Ohr: Doktor, laß mich sterben. ıh sehe mich um; niemand hat es gehört; Eltern stehen stumm vorgebeugt ve erwarten mein Urteil; Schwester şapka einen Stuhl für meine Handtasche gebracht. Ich öffne die Tasche und Suche unter meinen Instrumenten; Junge'un tadına bak, en iyi günlerini yaşıyor Bitte zu erinnern; ich fasse eine Pinzette, prüfe sie im Kerzenl

This work sets forth a theory which is speculative in nature, there being no verifying experiments. It is based on the idea of the reversibility of everything in time; that is, that every type of process has its time-image, a corresponding process which is its exact reverse with respect to time. This accounts for all physical laws but one, namely, the second law of thermodynamics. This law has been found during the nineteenth century to be a source of a great deal of difficulty. The eminent physicist, Clerk

...That is perfect. This is perfect. Perfect comes from perfect. Take perfect from perfect, the remainder is perfect. May peace and peace and peace be everywhere. Whatever lives is full of the Lord. Claim nothing; enjoy, do not covet His property. Then hope for a hundred years of life doing your duty. No other way can prevent deeds from clinging, proud as you are of your human life. They that deny the Self, return after death to a godless birth, blind, enveloped in darkness. The Self is one. Unmoving, it mo

...The Nellie, a cruising yawl, swung to her anchor without a flutter of the sails, and was at rest. The flood had made, the wind was nearly calm, and being bound down the river, the only thing for it was to come to and wait for the turn of the tide. The sea-reach of the Thames stretched before us like the beginning of an interminable waterway. In the offing the sea and the sky were welded together without a joint, and in the luminous space the tanned sails of the barges drifting up with the tide seemed to

Now, what is the quality to look out for as a warrant for the stability and permanence of friendship? It is loyalty. Nothing that lacks this can be stable. We should also in making our selection look out for simplicity, a social disposition, and a sympathetic nature, moved by what moves us. These all contribute to maintain loyalty. You can never trust a character which is intricate and tortuous.

What has been said may also discover to us the reason why men in this world prefer different things, and pursue happiness by contrary courses. But yet, since men are always constant and in earnest in matters of happiness and misery, the question still remains, How men come often to prefer the worse to the better; and to choose that, which, by their own confession, has made them miserable?

To require that men should use their words constantly in the same sense, and for none but determined and uniform ideas, would be to think that all men should have the same notions, and should talk of nothing but what they have clear and distinct ideas of: which is not to be expected by any one who hath not vanity enough to imagine he can prevail with men to be very knowing or very silent.

Aber ich bin ja natürlich krank, daß mich jetzt alles so tief erschüttert. Oder wissen Sie? ich habe manchmal das Gefühl, ich bin kein richtiger Mensch, sondern auch irgend ein Vogel oder ein anderes Tier in Menschengestalt; innerlich fühle ich mich in so einem Stückchen Garten wie hier oder im Feld unter Hummeln und Gras viel mehr in meiner Heimat als - auf einem Parteitag. Ihnen kann ich ja wohl das alles sagen: Sie werden nicht gleich Verrat am Sozialismus wittern.

...Although much prejudice exists as to the origination of Dreams and the various interpretations given them, the fact is incontrovertible that they have, in all ages and among all nations, borne a conspicuous part in shaping destinies. Both sacred and profane history is replete with dreams which have had more or less influence upon the lives of the dreamers. Innumerable are the instances in which have been prefigured in dreams occurrences that have actually taken place, and many dangers have been averted b

...In the modern movement in art, then, as in so many cases in past history, the revolution in art seems to be out of all proportion to any corresponding change in life as a whole. It seems to find its sources, if at all, in what at present seem like minor movements. Whether the difference between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries will in retrospect seem as great in life as they already do in art I cannot guess—at least it is curious to note how much more conscious we are of the change in art then we a

...No monster ever conjured up by imagination is more hideous than a rational being transformed to a beast. Just that is every human being who has brought his nobler powers down to be slaves of his animal nature. No eye could look upon that fearful sight unmoved. All man needs is a true mirror in which his own animalism may see itself. We cannot borrow for this purpose the arts of Greece, nor the fairy ideals of Germany, nor the emasculated saints of Christendom. These were but fragments of the man who has

...You are an odd little soul. Very like your father. You always find some new way of wheedling money out of me, and, as soon as you have got it, it seems to melt in your hands. You never know where it has gone. Still, one must take you as you are. It is in the blood; for indeed it is true that you can inherit these things, Nora...

...A soft, fat hand is the indication of an indolent and more or less lazy person. A firm hand is the sign of an energetic, reliable nature. A very thin hand denotes a restless energetic disposition, but one that is given to worry, and fretting and is generally discontented. A thin hand that feels listless in one's grasp denotes a weak constitution that has only sufficient energy to live. A cold, clammy hand is also a sign of poor health, but generally that of a very sensitive and nervous person. A person w

...Aristofanes, hayatı eşcinsel bir macera olarak gören, hayatı sosyal, ekonomik veya ahlaki bir soyutlamaya dönüştürmek için tüm çabalara meydan okuyan herkesin efendisidir. Bu nedenle, karanlık bir içgüdüyle, hatasız bir şekilde herhangi bir yaratıcının gerçek erdemlerinin tam tersini onun başlıca özellikleri olarak seçen eleştirmenlerin onu idealist bir reformcu olarak övmeleri doğru mudur? İdeal bir toplum durumu, Aristophanes'in istediği son şeydi. İnsanlık dışılı

Kendimizi Pisistratus zamanında yaşadığımızı hayal edelim: O zaman Homer kelimesi birçok farklılığı kapsıyordu. O zamanlar Homer ile ne kastediliyordu? Bu neslin bir kişiliği ve onun tezahürlerinin sınırlarını kavrayamadığı açıktır. Homer şimdi küçük bir sonuç haline gelmişti.

...Atalar, Allah'ın ayırt edici adını bilmedikleri ve Allah'ın Musa'ya imanlarını ve tek yürekliliklerini överek ve Musa'ya bahşedilen olağanüstü lütfun aksine bu gerçeği zikrettiği için, İlk başta, insanların Tanrı'nın nitelikleri hakkında bilgi sahibi olma buyruğuna tabi olmadıklarını, bu bilginin sadece müminlerden birkaçına verildiğini belirttik: Kutsal Kitap'tan başka örnekler aktarmaya değmez, çünkü herkes bunu kabul etmelidir. Tanrı'nın bilgisi tüm iyi insanlar arasında eşit değildir. Da

I could here set down many reflections on the simple right of voting in every act of Sovereignty—a right which no-one can take from the citizens—and also on the right of stating views, making proposals, dividing and discussing, which the government is always most careful to leave solely to its members; but this important subject would need a treatise to itself, and it is impossible to say everything in a single work.

The working class movement itself never is independent, never is of an exclusively proletarian character until all the different factions of the middle class, and particularly its most progressive faction, the large manufacturers, have conquered political power, and remodelled the State according to their wants. It is then that the inevitable conflict between the employer and the employed becomes imminent, and cannot be adjourned any longer; that the working class can no longer be put off with delusive hope
