Assuredly, no son of hers need apprehend the reproach "Tydides melior matre"; though Anthony, and his brother Thomas Adolphus, must, together, have run her pretty hard. The former remarks, with that terrible complacency in an awful fact which is one of his most noticeable and astounding traits, that the three of them "wrote more books than were probably ever before produced by a single family."
'Semper a patre, non a matre, generationis ordo texitur. Next, it is to be remarked, that no free woman can live in Lombardy, or, I believe, in any Teutonic state, save under the 'mundium' of some one. You should understand this word 'mund. Among most of the Teutonic races, women, slaves, and youths, at least not of age to carry arms, were under the mund of some one.
If he cuffs you or swears at you, call him Mon Matre. That's all the French you will need for some months." Leighton dodged by a sleepy concierge with a grunted greeting and climbed a broad stone stairway, then a narrower flight. He knocked on a door and opened it.
He had noted the glint of interest. He turned on Le Brux. "You'll take no pupil, eh? All right, don't. But you'll take my son. You shall and you will." "I will not," growled Le Brux. "Maître" began Leighton "but whom am I calling Matre? What are you? D'you know what you are?" He shook his finger in Le Brux's face. "You think you're a creator, but you're not.
He threw open the door without knocking. Stretched on the couch was the giant frame, wallowing feebly like a harpooned whale at the last gasp. "Matre!" cried Leighton. The sculptor half raised himself, turned a worn face on Leighton, and then burst into a tremendous laugh one of those laughs that is so violent as to be painful. "Ha! ha! ha! Ho! ho! ho!" he roared, and fell back upon his side.
But the motto of his work, Prolem sine matre creatam, was intended to signify that the one thing wanting was liberty; and he had views on taxation, equality, and the division of powers that gave him a momentary influence in 1789. His warning that a legislature may be more dangerous than the executive remained unheard. The Esprit des lois had lost ground in 1767, during the ascendancy of Rousseau.
"Ahi, Constantin, di quanto mal fu matre, Non la tua conversion, ma quella dote Che da te prese il primo ricco patre!" "For ever since Holy Church has aimed more at temporal than at spiritual things, matters have gone from bad to worse."
His eyes fell on the cast of an arm, a fragment. The arm was outstretched. It was the arm of a woman. So lightly had it been molded that it seemed to float. It seemed pillowed on invisible clouds. "Matre", said Leighton, "I want that. How much?" Le Brux moved over beside the cast.
From France the Pope still hopes for aid in the recovery of his temporalities; from Austria he knows that he will never receive it. So much have politics and so little has religion to do now, as in all ages, with the motives that govern the Holy See. Ahi, Costantin, di quanto mal fu matre Non la tua conversion, ma quella dote Che da te prese il primo ricco patre!
