Boy, are you there? as, in turning, his eye fell on Malcolm. 'Take warning: the straight road is the best. You see, I have never come to Jerusalem. Then again he murmured: "'Hic breve vivitur, hic breve plangitur, hic breve fletur; Non breve vivere, non breve plangere, retribuetur."
Little electric lights could be switched on up there if anything went wrong in the night. There were even ladders across the space. "But you can't go into the gas," protested Bert. "You can't breve it."
Sometimes it takes the tone of a lighter melancholy touched with cynicism: La vie est vaine: Un peu d'amour, Un peu de haine, Et puis bon jour. La vie est brève, Un peu d'espoir, Un peu de rêve, Et puis bon soir.
It is a finished period for him, and by detaching several of the sixteenths in the first group, the first and fourth, he makes the accent clearer, at least to the eye.

An age which has adopted as its most popular hymn a paraphrase of the mediaeval monk's "Hic breve vivitur," and in which stalwart public-school boys are bidden in their chapel worship to tell the Almighty God of Truth that they lie awake weeping at night for joy at the thought that they will die and see Jerusalem the Golden is doubtless, a pious and devout age; but not at least as yet an age in which natural theology is likely to attain a high, a healthy, or a scriptural development.
Now in the overture, the conductor had failed to see the necessity of a modification of the original march-like tempo in the direction of an Andante alla breve; and, of course, here at the close of the opera he equally failed to feel that the movement was not directly connected with the march tempo his first mistake was therefore continued, and he proceeded to confine and hold fast the warmly-feeling singer of the part of Hans Sachs in rigid 4/4 time, and to compel him to deliver his final address in the stiffest and most awkward manner possible.
