Friar Pedro de Cabrera, a Spaniard, taketh the opinion of Durand and his followers to be this: That images are adored only improperly, because they put men in mind of the persons represented by them; and he reasoneth against them thus: “If images were only to be worshipped by way of rememoration and recordation, because they make us remember the samplers which we do so worship as if they had been then present, it would follow that all creatures should be adored with the same adoration wherewith we worship God, seeing all of them do lead us unto the knowledge and remembrance of God.” Whereby it is evident, that in the opinion of Durand, and those who are of his mind, images are but active objects of adoration.

At last a letter was intercepted addressed to Mme. d'Aché, containing this phrase, which they recognised as Georges' style: "Tell M. Durand that things are taking a good turn,... his presence is necessary.... He will have news of me at the Hôtel de Bordeaux, rue de Grenelle, Saint-Honoré, where he will ask for Houvel."

The Master evidently meant to say more, but before he could say anything M. Durand had stepped right up to him and was speaking. He was speaking exactly as a French bourgeois speaks to the manager of a restaurant. That is, he spoke with rattling and breathless rapidity, but with no incoherence, and therefore with no emotion.

"DURAND, Notary at Chartres." Dagobert looked at his son with astonishment, and said to him, "Who can have told this gentleman already of my arrival in Paris?" "Perhaps, father," said Agricola, "this is the notary to whom you transmitted some papers, and whose address you have lost." "But his name was not Durand; and I distinctly recollect that his address was Paris, not Chartres.

"So generous an act should open all doors to her, beginning with mine," said the Duchesse de Montgeron. "I beg that you will tell her so from me, Monsieur Durand." "At once, Madame. She is waiting below in her carriage." "Why did you not say so before? I must beg her myself to join us here," said the master of the house, leaving the room in haste.

The elongated, bizarre, shabby travelling-carriage with four post-horses, standing before the long front of the house with its eight columns, four on each side of the broad flight of stairs. Durand, the governess, with her black eyebrows meeting over a short thick nose and a complexion like pale brown paper.

Although there is reason to believe that Afghan influence among the turbulent tribes on the northwestern frontier was at times the cause of restlessness and disorder, the Durand agreement of 1893, followed by the demarcation of the southern and nearly all the eastern Afghan boundary, set a definite limit to the legitimate interference of Afghanistan with the tribes included in the British sphere of influence.

"I hear he left early this morning." "No, not yesterday," said Miss Durand coldly, drawing herself up with some indignation; but as she glanced sideways at Mr. Severance, that young man seemed so innocent that she thought perhaps he meant nothing in particular by his remark. So, after a slight pause, Bessie went on again. "It was a week ago.

The American air has done much for your imagination, my dear Jules; or possibly the altitude of the hills has over-stimulated it." "You are not the fool you look, my dear Durand. You have actually taken a pretty fair grasp of the situation." "But the adorable young lady, the fair Mademoiselle Claiborne, what becomes of her in these transactions?"

It has since come to be recognized that the proper way to tell a story is by words and not by pictures, and "The Voyage of Life," and "Course of Empire," and "The Cross and the World" have, for the most part, been relegated to the attic. Durand and Cole were the founders of the famous Hudson River, or White Mountain school, which loomed so large in American art half a century ago.
