"You are logical in your sentiment, my dear," said Flamen, who was more moved than he cared to feel. "The union is a rare one in your sex. Who taught you to reason?" "No one. And I do not know what to be logical means. Is it that you laugh at me?" "No. I do not laugh. And your pilgrims they are gone for all day?" "Yes. They are gone to the Sacred Heart at St. Marie en Bois.
The next day Publius Licinius Crassus Dives, then chief pontiff, Publius Licinius Varus, Sextus Julius Caesar, and Quintus Claudius Flamen were created praetors. At the very time of the election, the public were thrown into a state of anxiety relative to the defection of Etruria.
Do ye mean to make them Veientian instead of Roman priests? And shall the virgins forsake thee, O Vesta? And shall the flamen by living abroad draw on himself and on his country such a weight of guilt every night? What of the other things, all of which we transact under auspices within the Pomærium, to what oblivion, to what neglect do we consign them?
The tribunes, on being appealed to, referred the matter to the senate. The senate left it to the decision of the people. Thus Caius Mamilius Vitulus was the first plebeian created chief curio. Publius Licinius, chief pontiff, compelled Caius Valerius Flaccus to be inaugurated flamen of Jupiter, against his will.
He had followed her to Paris when they had missed her first, and had come straight by train to the city, making sure it was thither she had come, and there had sought her many days, watching for her by the house of Flamen. She shuddered away from him as he held her, and looked at him with blank, tearless eyes. "Do not touch me take me home." That was all she ever said to him.
The first cross we meet with on the coins in question, is upon one of Julius Caesar; who was appointed Flamen Dialis B.C. 87, Pontiff B.C. 74, Military Tribune B.C. 73, Quaestor B.C. 68, Pontifex Maximus B.C. 63, and Dictator B.C. 49. The cross in question consists of the name C. Cossutius Maridianus arranged as a cross of four equal arms.
A. Albinus was a speaker of the same kind; but Albinus, the Flamen, was esteemed an orator. Q. Capio too had a great deal of spirit, and was a brave citizen: but the unlucky chance of war was imputed to him as a crime, and the general odium of the people proved his ruin.
We are speaking of the sacred rites and of the temples; what, pray, of the priests? Does it not occur to you, what a degree of profaneness would be committed in respect of them. The Vestals, forsooth, have but that one settlement, from which nothing ever disturbed them, except the capture of the city. It is an act of impiety for the flamen Dialis to remain for a single night without the city.
"Take back your curse!" shouted the flamen Dialis, rushing up to her and seizing her hand. With her last strength Glyceria raised herself, her eyes rolled wildly over the throng and, once more summoning all the bitterness of her heart, she raised both hands and extending them over the multitude shrieked: "Be accursed!"
There goes 'the seld shown flamen, puffing his way to win a vulgar station, here is a 'veiled dame' who lets us see that 'war of white and damask in her nicely gawded cheeks, a moment; look at that 'kitchen malkin, peering over the wall there with 'her richest lockram' 'pinned on her reechy neck, eyeing the hero as he passes; and look at this poor baby here, this Elizabethan baby, saved, conserved alive, crying himself 'into a rapture' while his 'prattling nurse' has ears and eyes for the hero only, as 'she chats him. Look at them all, for every creature you see here, from 'the seld shown flamen' to the 'kitchen malkin, belongs soul and body to 'our gracious Empress, and Essex and Raleigh are still winning their garlands of the war, that is when the scene is taken, but not when it was put in its place and framed in this composition; for their game was up ere then.
