Quia eduxi te de terra Aegypti: parasti crucem Salvatori tuo. Chor. Sanctus deus, sanctus fortis, sanctus et immortalis. Miserere nobis. The chorus answering each "Reproach" alternately in the Greek of the Eastern Church and the Latin of the Western Church. Such music as this has quite a different character from that of our concert-rooms; it is music which means something.
According to one story he gave a great feast to his friends and offered a sacrifice; then when his friends went to rest he disappeared, and was no more seen. According to a story less dignified and better known Deus immortalis haberi Dum cupit Empedocles, ardentem frigidus Aetnam Insiluit. HOR. Ad Pisones, 464 sqq. "Eager to be deemed a god, Empedocles coldly threw himself in burning Etna."
It stares at you with its great round stupid arches as though it couldn't imagine that you could possibly want anything else for ever. Saint Peter's and that frightful Monument are just the same stuff as the Baths of Caracalla and the palaces of the Caesars. Just the same. They will make just the same sort of ruins. It goes on and goes on." "AVE ROMA IMMORTALIS," said Dr. Martineau.
Sed credo deos immortalis sparsisse animos in corpora humana, ut essent qui terras tuerentur quique caelestium ordinem contemplantes imitarentur eum vitae modo atque constantia. Nec me solum ratio ac disputatio impulit ut ita crederem, sed nobilitas etiam summorum philosophorum et auctoritas.
NAM DUM SUMUS etc.: the whole of this doctrine is Platonic; cf. Lael. 13. MUNERE NECESSITATIS ET ... OPERE: 'function and task allotted as by fate'. IMMORTALIS: Cicero rarely mentions the gods without this epithet. SPARSISSE: Horace calls the soul divinae particulam aurae. TUERENTUR: rule, or guard, or care for.
The panelling was of Italian intarsia work inlaid with a renaissance design portraying the tale of Cupid and Psyche; on the final panel Jupiter was handing the cup of ambrosia to Psyche with the words, 'Sume, Psyche, et immortalis esto, nec unquam digridietur a tuo nexu Cupido, sed istae vobis erunt perpetuae nuptiae'; the floor was formed of parquetry, and the rugs above were of fine Persian workmanship.
In the Latin the opposition of IMMORTALIS and MORTALIS is a mere sound, or a mere quibble; he is not IMMORTAL in any sense contrary to that in which he is MORTAL. In the verses the thought is obvious, and the words NIGHT and LIGHT are too nearly allied. On EDMUND Duke of BUCKINGHAM, who died in the 19th Year of his Age, 1735.
"Hoc unum sat scio, ab ineunte ætate me inextinguibili nominis immortalis cupiditate flagrasse." Opera, tom. i. p. 61. "Minimo tamen honorario, et illud etiam minimum suasu cujusdam amici egregii praefecti Xenodochii imminuerunt; ita cum hujus recordor in mentem venit fabellæ illius Apuleii de annonæ Praefecto." Opera, tom. i. p. 64. De Utilitate, p. 351.
What picture of the Grove of Love can equal that of the Italian poet for such we take him to be of the twelfth century? 'Immortalis fieret Ibi manens homo; Arbor ibi quaelibet Suo gaudet pomo; Viae myrrha, cinnamo Fragrant, et amomo Conjectari poterat Dominus ex domo' etc.
