In 1912, a loyal Alsatian German writes: "Das Elsass, dies jungstgeborene Kind der deutschen Völkerfamilie, braucht etwas mehr Liebe." Forty years of Prussian rule have not fulfilled the promise of Bismarck.
For the brain is the origin of the nerves which control the voluntary activities by means of contraction and expansion. If the chest does not contract, the warm air does not come out; if it does not expand, the cold air does not come in; and if the air does not come in or out, the heart loses its proportionality, and the animal dies. The functions of the animal soul are sensation and motion.
You have sworn and dodged and scrambled and yelled, even fired your six-shooter, to turn them and bunch them. In the mean time Algernon has either sat his horse like a park policeman in his leisure hours, or has ambled directly into your path of pursuit on an average of five times a minute. Then the trouble dies from the landscape and the baby bewilderment from his eyes.
A child might well have believed the words of a poet who said, "In Holland the sun dies," and the most cold-blooded man must have allowed a farewell to escape his lips. As I have spoken of my walk to Scheveningen, I will mention two other pleasant excursions that I made from the Hague last winter.
As we walked home next day he kept steadily behind me. In general we walked side by side. Either he felt too tired to talk to me, or he was not satisfied with himself because of something that had happened the day before. Perhaps he had been careless, and so allowed himself to be taken. I do not think it likely." "What a loss it will be to you when he dies!" I said.
When he dies the whole range will know about it damn quick. I know that much about Red Pierre; but who doesn't?" "I, for one." "You!" Strangely enough, there was more of accusation than of surprise in the word. "Certainly," repeated Mary. "I've only been in this part of the country for a short time. I really know almost nothing about the the legends."
It brushed her back into herself as if he had taken her by the shoulders, pushed her into her prison, and slammed the door. "That's all imagination," he said. "When some one we love dies we're always thinking things like that that we neglected them, or slighted them, or told them what wasn't true. They stand out in our memories bigger than all the good things we did.
Bali then repeats his request to the monkey chiefs, as they were attached to him, to acknowledge Sugriva and Angada as their joint leaders, and to follow them in aid of Rama against Ravana in the ensuing contest: he then dies. Malyavan laments over these miscarriages.
The 19th will be famous for the revolt of a whole Province or Kingdom, excepting one city: by which the affairs of a certain Prince in the Alliance will take a better face. He dies less lamented by the Court than the Kingdom. On the 9th, a Marshal of France will break his leg by a fall from his horse. I have not been able to discover whether he will then die or not.
They strike the child on the left side with a little rod; the breast opens, and the witches tear out the heart, and devour every atom of it. Thereupon the wound closes up of itself, without leaving a trace of what has been done. The child dies either immediately or soon afterwards, as the witch chooses. Many children's illnesses are attributed to this cause.
