Paul seems to state this in so many words when he says: "But all these worketh that one and the selfsame spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will." Could our modern speculation, forced upon us by the facts, be more tersely stated? He has just enumerated the various gifts, and we find them very close to those of which we have experience.
Leaving Hugo and his friends to concert their murderous plans, we must invite the reader to accompany us once more to freedom's home, the Dismal Swamp. A council was being held at this selfsame time, which materially assisted the schemes of the baron, although not greatly to his ultimate gratification.
Ask the young Nor'-Wester, who had worn a path beneath the selfsame window that very day, or the hosts of young men, who are still wearing paths beneath windows to this very day. I coughed and sat bolt upright on the bench with unnecessarily loud intimations of my presence. The fringe of black lashes did not even lift.
The same applies to the soldiers: they would never dare to run counter to an agency which had nearly killed them with fright on that very selfsame morning.
Black's tranquillity nay, his glacial composure under the circumstances surprised and grieved me. I did not understand why the prospect and the promise of "our house" did not set Mr. Black and, for that matter, all the rest of humanity into the selfsame transports of delight which I experienced. Mind you, now, I am not complaining of nor am I finding fault with Mr. Black.
And they made great joy through that same city for ten days. But on the selfsame day that Amis was made whole, the devils bore off his wife; they brake the neck of her, and bore away her soul. After these things Amis betook him to the Castle of Bericain and laid siege before it; and abode there before so long, that they of the castle rendered themselves to him.
Hafiz describes a girl's cheeks as roses within a net of violets, the net referring to the beard. Jehudah Halevi uses this selfsame image, and Moses ibn Ezra and the rest also employ manly figures of speech in portraying beautiful women. All this goes to show how much, besides rhyme and versification, medieval Hebrew love poetry owed to Arabic models.
Two friends who wander by the shore Look not upon the selfsame seas, Hearing two voices in the roar, Because of different memories. For him whose love the sea hath drowned, It moans the music of his wrong; For him whose life with love is crowned, It breaks upon the beach in song.
Iniquity is proceeded from the elders, the judges, and deputies, which pretend to rule thy people. We cannot say now, Look how the people be, so is the priest. For the people is not so ill as the priest is. Alas, alas, O Lord God, the selfsame persons be the chief in persecuting thee, which seem to love the highest place, and bear most rule in Thy Church!"
Had Dalrymple been there, he would have recognized the old brass lamp with its three beaks which poor Annetta had so often brought in lighted when he sat there at dusk. On the shelf in the corner were the selfsame decanters full of transparent aniseed and pink alchermes and coarse brown brandy.
