To back up German claims to new territory or trading concessions, it was necessary to have a strong navy. All this was strictly by the book, and it is characteristic of the German mind that it faithfully followed the text. "Unsere Zukunft," cried the Kaiser, "liegt auf dem Wasser!" But what was implied in this proposal?
But he has a uniform of the High Grade at home, so he must be the High Grade himself. Another group of his ideas refer to his race. He has been put on Ward's Island as a result of the great struggle between Christians and Israel. But Israelites are the head of the Fellowship Lodge, so all Christians must follow him, the patient. This is the explanation of "Da liegt der schwarze Hund begraben!"
I observe in you, Richie, an extraordinary deficiency of memory. She has had an illness; Neptune speed her recovery! Now for a turn at our German. Die Strassen ruhen; die Stadt schlaft; aber dort, siehst Du, dort liegt das blaue Meer, das nimmer-schlafende! She is gazing on it, and breathing it, Richie. Ach! ihr jauchzende Seejungfern. On my soul, I expect to see the very loveliest of her sex!
Any one who has once talked to him is saluted from a distance with the words "Pleased to meet you, Doctor!" "Five fingers up!" or "Da liegt der schwarze Hund begraben!" All this is followed by an elated volubility. When asked what "Pleased to meet you!" meant, he said that was the password for entrance to the "Fellowship Lodge" of a certain fraternal order.

It is incredible that the nineteenth century should have put this combination to so little use; for I think the gain may be poetical as well as musical. In the Second Symphony in C minor, the first three parts are purely instrumental; but in the fourth part the voice of a contralto is heard singing these sad and simple words: "Der Mensch liegt in grösster Noth! Der Mensch liegt in grösster Pein!
However great thy crimes, thou cheatest the gallows. Oh, Edward, oh, Edward, thou model Prince! Da druben, da druben liegt der Feind, In feigen Schutzengraben, Wir greifen ihn an, und ein Hund, wer meint, Heut' wurde Pardon gegeben. Schlagt alles tot, was um Gnade fleht, Schiesst alles nieder wie Hunde, Mehr Feinde, mehr Feinde! sei euer Gebet In dieser Vergeltungsstunde.
Ja, der Krieg verschlingt die Besten. Still, when Schiller says in the poem just quoted, Ohne Wahl vertheilt die Gaben, Ohne Billigkeit das Glück, Denn Patroklus liegt begraben Und Thersites kommt zurück, his illustration is only half right. The Greek Thersites did not return to claim a pension. In the picture to which I refer, General LEE was the main figure.
'Denn Patroklus liegt begraben, Und Thersites kommt zurück, his illustration is only half right. The Greek Thersites did not return to claim a pension." The dash of bitterness in this remark must not be taken too seriously. The fact remains, however, that among the veterans of the South there prevails a certain feeling of aloofness from the national jubilation over the Spanish War.
"Der Abschiedstag ist da, Schwer liegt er auf den Herzen schwer." Charlotte was unable to take leave of me, being in a sound sleep, after a very indifferent night. Perhaps it was as well. Emotion might have hurt her; and nothing I could have expressed would have been worth the risk. I have foreseen, for two years and more, that this menaced event could not be far distant.
