TOUT notre raisonnement se reduit a ceder au sentiment.* PASCAL. * "All our reasoning reduces itself to yielding to sentiment." LORD VARGRAVE, who had no desire to remain alone with the widow when the guests were gone, arranged his departure for the same day as that fixed for Mrs.
It rests on solid reason, but as the Due de Noailles has said, "Un semblable raisonnement ne ferait pas fortune aupres des republicans d'Europe, fort chatouilleux sur le chapitre de la puissance legislative.
Lessing had yielded to the 'whim' of mixing the two. If, therefore, it was desired to make an acceptable stage-play out of 'Nathan' it would be advisable to modify it in the direction of tragedy by reducing its raisonnement, or else to make it more like comedy by reducing its pathos. In other words, theory had given Schiller a point of view which is not the modern point of view.
Years before, while following up the theory of the drama in his strict and strenuous fashion, he had convinced himself that 'Nathan' was a monstrosity; it was neither tragedy nor comedy nor tragi-comedy, and he was opposed to a mixture of types. In tragedy, so he had reasoned in his essay upon 'Naive and Sentimental Poetry', raisonnement is out of place; in comedy, pathos.
Alas for the which he justly regarded as an all-sufficient education for the soul! Pascal, a philosopher whom we both love, has said, how truly! "que tout notre raisonnement se reduit a ceder au sentiment;" and it is not impossible that the sentiment of the natural, had time permitted it, would have regained its old ascendancy over the harsh mathematical reason of the schools.
Jemmy, what an ass you must be!" "Mrs. Cibber always makes me cry, and t'other always makes me laugh," said Quin, stoutly, "that's why." Ce beau raisonnement met no answer, but a look of sovereign contempt. A very trifling incident saved the ladies of the British stage from further criticism.
Cousin has made the most of his confusion of “reason” and “reasoning”—“la raison” and “le raisonnement.” The expression “le cœur,” by which he designates the higher faculty of intuition, may be inadequate and misleading—complex and disturbing in its association. But withal, his attitude in favour of a ground of certainty in human knowledge is unmistakable.

"Don't mind me, Trollolop," cried the baronet, "I can't bear your clever heads: give me a good heart; that's worth all the heads in the world; d n me if it is not! Eh, Linden?" "I be hanged if I'm all mind," said the baronet. "At least," quoth Linden, gravely, "no one ever accused you of it before." "We are all mind," pursued the reasoner; "we are all mind, un moulin a raisonnement.
