So the bare rock is exposed, and every hope of planting at an end. Vox clamantis! The Normans, Anjou and Aragonese concerned themselves with the proper administration of woodlands. As to Napoleon he was busy enough, one would think, on this side of the Alps.
What China is taught night and day is that Russia is a land power, and, therefore, alone can protect China; that she keeps her promises and threats; that, with England, on the other hand, it is always a case of vox et praeterea nihil. In short, Russia protects China in a peculiar sense, that is to say, for a price, to be paid to Russia or even to her friends.
Beckett to him, "The Life and Adventures of Valentine Vox the Ventriloquist," indicated the interest his friends took in this amusement. One of his own purchases was "Modern Magic," the frontispiece of which is the sphinx that figures in the story of "El Filibusterismo."

But it is very kind of you to come to this wilderness. And have you seen my brother yet?" "I am to see his Royal Highness immediately," I said. "I waited upon Your Majesty first." "Poor James!" said the King.
God was in politics, to the confusion of politicians; God in government. And in some greater and higher sense than we had yet perceived, the saying 'vox populi vox dei' was eternally true. He entered into the hearts of people and moved them, and so the world progressed. It was the function of the Church to make Christians, until when the Kingdom of God should come the blending should be complete.
One would gladly stop, but too late, the request half heard, Voluit Deus ora loquentis Opprimere; exierat jam vox properata sub auras.
Ac velut in somnis oculos ubi languida pressit Nocte quies, nequiquam avidos extendere cursus Velle videmur, et in mediis conatibus aegri Succidimus, nec lingua valet, nec corpore notae Sufficiunt vires aut vox et verba sequuntur is an instance of the amazing mastery with which he makes language have the effect of music in expressing the subtlest processes of feeling.
