That is just why literary follies have such vogue in Germany. The Germans are a very tolerant people everybody can see that! Their maxim is Hanc veniam damns petimusque vicissim.
They wished to elevate the people. It was a pun which we should do wrong to smile at. Puns are sometimes serious factors in politics; witness the Castratus ad castra, which made a general of the army of Narses; witness: Barbari et Barberini; witness: Tu es Petrus et super hanc petram, etc., etc.
"She will!" replied Father Fauchelevent, falling into step, and striving not to flinch again. "Father Fauvent, the community has been blessed in Mother Crucifixion. No doubt, it is not granted to every one to die, like Cardinal de Berulle, while saying the holy mass, and to breathe forth their souls to God, while pronouncing these words: Hanc igitur oblationem.
As PVF will continue to haunt us through our English examples, take, by way of comparison, this Latin verse, of which it forms a chief adornment, and do not hold me answerable for the all too Roman freedom of the sense: "Hanc volo, quæ facilis, quæ palliolata vagatur." Coleridge. Antony and Cleopatra. Cymbeline. The V is in "of." Troilus and Cressida.
The most striking incidents are incidents of discipline. The most striking incident of all is the execution by a commander of his own son for having gained a victory against orders. "Disciplinam militarem," Manlius is made to say, "qua stetit ad hanc diem Romana res." Discipline was the great secret of Roman ascendency in war. It is the great secret of all ascendency in war.
"Hanc rem aegre tulit Phoebe," as my old friend Livy would say. "Oh dear! oh dear! if he strays so far from us, he will be eaten up at nightfall by jackals, or lions, or something. One of you must go after him." "Me go, missy," said Ucatella zealously, pleased with an excuse for stretching her magnificent limbs. "Ay, but mayhap he will not come back with YOU: will he, Dick?"
I shall end this Paper with that whole Epigram, which represents with much Humour my honest Friend's Condition. Quicquid agit Rufus nihil est nisi Naevia Rufo, Si gaudet, si flet, si tacet, hanc loquitur: Coenat, propinat, poscit, negat, annuit, una est Naevia; Si non sit Naevia mutus erit. Scriberet hesterna Patri cum Luce Salutem, Naevia lux, inquit, Naevia lumen, ave.
But tolerant people are just the opposite, and claim for themselves the same indulgence that they extend to others hanc veniam damus petimusque vicissim. It is all very well for the Bible to talk about the mote in another's eye and the beam in one's own.
Si quis autem vitrum de hac arena factum in fossa reponeret, conuerteretur iterum in arenam, et qui imponeret frustum metalli, verteretur in vitrum: nonnulli reputant hanc fossam esse spiraculum maris arenosi, de quo mari aliquid locuturus sum in sequentibus.
