"He's going to move it, though." "Oh. Thanks." With the one-sided smile. "Say, you needn't thank ME," Andy protested in his polite tone. "YOU'RE going to move it, you know." "You may know, but I don't," corrected the other. "Oh, that's all right. You may not know right now, but don't let that worry yuh. This is sure a great country for pilgrims to wise up in."
Indeed, he that owneth him doth not keep him of any goodwill to Me or Mine, but with intent to keep the pilgrims from coming to Me, and that they may be afraid to knock at this gate for entrance. Sometimes also he has broken out, and has worried some that I loved; but I take all at present patiently.
The Centaur tore away; and Dante and Virgil were gazing after him, when they heard voices beneath the bank on which they stood, crying, "Who are ye?" The pilgrims turned their eyes downwards, and beheld three spirits, one of whom, looking about him, said, "Where's Cianfa?" Dante made a sign to Virgil to say nothing. Cianfa came forth, a man lately, but now a serpent with six feet.
The pilgrims who had but one single aim, 'to go to the land of Canaan, were delivered from the miseries of conflicting desires, and with simplicity of aim came concentration of force and calm of spirit. If life has a clear, definite aim, and especially if its aim is the highest, there will be detachment from, and abandonment of, many lower ones.
Porto-Nahonis, or Portenau, is the Mutatio ad nonum, a station or stage which is mentioned in the Itinerarium Hierosolymitanum, or description of the various routes to Jerusalem, a work compiled for the use of pilgrims; and its name is apparently derived from the Kymerian language, apparently a Celtic dialect, in which port signifies a stage, station, or resting-place, and nav or naou signifies nine; Port-nav, Latinized into Portus naonis, and Frenchified into Portenau, implies, therefore, the ninth station, and is at present named Pordanone in the Friul.
Is this the way to the Celestial City? Shep. You are just in your way. Chr. How far is it thither? Shep. Too far for any but those who shall get thither, indeed. Chr. Is the way safe, or dangerous? Shep. Safe for those for whom it is to be safe; but transgressors shall fall therein. Chr. Is there in this place any relief for pilgrims that are weary and faint in the way? Shep.
Dearborn was known to be such an upright, reliable man, so generous and kind-hearted in all his dealings, that it was decided to accept his offer. "Do they go much farther?" asked the interested listener, when he had told her all he knew of the desolate little pilgrims. "Only a few miles the other side of Kenton," he answered. "Why, Kenton is where I live," she exclaimed.
Never has Paris, the Mecca of European art, genius, and culture, presented a more brilliant social spectacle than it did in 1832. Hither ward came pilgrims from all countries, poets, painters, and musicians, anxious to breathe the inspiring air of the French capital, where society laid its warmest homage at the feet of the artist.
But no one guessed who was being taken into custody, and most of them probably thought that the soldiers had captured some more of the Barabbas gang, who, at that season of the year, would make a rare harvest by plundering pilgrims to the feast.
The hotel-keepers complained; the dealers in religious fancy articles did not take half the amount they ought to have realised; and, finally, the new town monopolised both the pilgrims and the cash; there was now no possibility for anyone but the keepers of the lodging-houses, hotels, and shops open in the neighbourhood of the Grotto to make any money whatever.
