"Preach this divineness of human nature and you will once more have a living church. Preach that our oneness is so real that the best man is forever shackled to the worst. Preach that sin is but ignorant selfishness, less admirable than virtue only as ignorance is less admirable than knowledge.
He is exceedingly popular, being very genial and affable not jealous, it is said, of his dignity as a Prince, but very jealous of his dignity as a gentleman and that is right; for kings may come, and kings may go, but the fine type of the English gentleman goes on forever. No revolution can depose it; no commune can destroy it it is proof against dynamite.
Datis, discouraged, set sail, without landing, to the Cyclades. It was fought by Athens twenty years after the expulsion of the tyrants, and as a democratic State. On the Athenians rest the glory forever. It was not important for the number of men who fell on either side, but for giving the first great check to the Persian domination, and preventing their conquest of Europe.
"I hope to be pardoned," I said, "the current of this life sets so in favor of Utility and the Practical; men long to be fed with sentiment, why try to give them ideas?" "Fulfil, then, forever your little round of decencies and proprieties," exclaimed Vannelle; "I judge you not. Perchance your weakness is the pardonable weakness of one who has done his best.
Our pseudo-moralists have yet to learn the deep sense of responsibility toward the child, that love in freedom has awakened in the breast of woman. Rather would she forego forever the glory of motherhood than bring forth life in an atmosphere that breathes only destruction and death. And if she does become a mother, it is to give to the child the deepest and best her being can yield.
The outworn habitation of the past was forever left behind her, to be swept back, by the tides of the new life, into some forgotten cave. "Build thee more stately mansions, oh my soul, As the swift seasons roll." The words said themselves aloud.
"I'd like to stay here always," she said with a catch in her voice. "Do you mean it, Bet?" asked Joy. "I think it's great, of course, but it's too much like a hothouse to suit me. I wouldn't think of living here forever." At that moment they were interrupted by the silent appearance of Tang, the Chinese cook.
The hotel was unprofitable and forever on the edge of failure and he wished himself out of it. He thought of the old house and the woman who lived there with him as things defeated and done for. The hotel in which he had begun life so hopefully was now a mere ghost of what a hotel should be.
Far into the night she lay awake, the various incidents of the evening, like magic lantern views, thrown with bewildering rapidity on the screen of her mind. At last she was launched into life, and the days of her isolation gone by forever. She was in the centre of things. And yet well, nothing could be perfect. Perhaps she demanded too much.
This Queen and King at least did not live at ease in palaces while others fought their wars. North, south, east and west, through the ten years, they had been the moving springs. It was an able King and Queen, a politic King and a sincere and godly Queen, even a loving Queen. If only if only I had been a week and more in Santa Fe when King Boabdil surrendered Granada. He left forever the Alhambra.
