Just as the strife was ended I saw him again, I saw him fall! Oh, mercy, mercy! do not let him perish of his wounds or by the rifler's knife, even though a rebel!" "Homo sum!" quoth the noble chief; "I am a man; and, even in these bloody times, Nature commands when she speaks in a father's voice! Mervil, I marked thee to-day! Thou art a brave fellow.

The wolf appeared to him in a halo of light. Meanwhile, Homo had turned round. He advanced a few steps, and then looked back to see if Gwynplaine was following him. Gwynplaine was doing so. Homo wagged his tail, and went on. The road taken by the wolf was the slope of the quay of the Effroc-stone. This slope shelved down to the Thames; and Gwynplaine, guided by Homo, descended it.

John Gordon turned and hurried upstairs to his room to wash up for lunch. Rick stared after him. What in the name of a simple-minded spacefish did that mean? Homo Terrestrialis. Man of Earth.

After all, every people must have its own forms of ostentation, pretence, and vulgarity. The ancient Romans had theirs, the English and the French have theirs as well, why should not we Americans have ours? Educated and refined persons must recognize frequent internal conflicts between the "Homo sum" of Terence and the "Odi profanum vulgus" of Horace.

It was these recollections of my childhood that suggested to me the character of little Pennu in Uarda, of Polykarp in Homo Sum, of Pollux in The Emperor, and the cheery Alexander in Per Aspera.
