Coming from the superior mind of a leader who inspires faith it imposes obedience by its very strength. Colonel Ardant du Picq was a military writer only, with a style of his own. He has the Latin brevity and concentration. He retains his thought, assembles it and always puts it out in a compact phrase like a cartridge.
One always knows when the fishing-boats are arriving by the crowd that assembles on the quay; that peculiar population that seems natural to all ports, young, able-bodied sailors, full of interest about the run and the cargo old men in blue jerseys who sit on the wall, in the sun, all day, and recount their experiences various officials with gold bands on their caps, men with hand carts waiting to carry off the fish and fishwives their baskets strapped on their backs hoping for a haul of crabs and shrimps or fish from some of the small boats.
This council assembles every year, inquires into the state of the school, proposes its views of amelioration, respecting every department, and makes a report to the government. One of its principal functions is to harmonise the instruction with that of the Schools of Engineers, Artillery, &c. into which the pupils enter after the final examination they undergo previously to their departure.
"Ch'egli avria del candor che in te si vede Argomentato in lei non bianca fede." "bulls," no happy comparison certainly. "Vansi a ritrovar non altrimenti Che duo tori gelosi." "has his flames inside of it, and his tears without:" "Che dentro hai le mie fiamme, e fuori il pianto." Argument. PART I. Satan assembles the fiends in council to consider the best means of opposing the Christians.
Heligoland is the meeting-place for the envoys of the conspirators throughout Europe; there the central committee always assembles at certain times, and from there by confidential messengers and fellow conspirators issues its commands and directions to the members in all places; there is the depot of the arms, ammunition, and other military stores.
He had never even imagined such a crowd as this assembles merely to listen to a political debate. But then he remembered, as they dodged from in front of the horses, what it was not merely a political debate: The pulse of nation was here, a great nation stricken with approaching fever. It was not now a case of excise, but of existence.
The air is pure and fresh, like the kiss of a child; the sun is bright, the sky is blue what more could one possibly wish for? What need, in such a place as this, of passions, desires, regrets? However, it is time to be stirring. I will go to the Elizaveta spring I am told that the whole society of the watering-place assembles there in the morning.
"Yes; we ain't hed so many out for years, so Susanna Rideout says, and she'd ought to know, for she ain't missed a fun'ral sence she was nine years old, and she's eighty-one, come Thanksgivin', ef she holds out that long. She says fun'rals is 'bout the only recreation she has, 'n' she doos git a heap o' satisfaction out of 'em, 'n' no mistake. She'll go early, afore any o' the comp'ny assembles.
She assembles around her in her old age, whatever Madame de Coulanges may say to the contrary, both men and women, but even if women did not flock to her side, she could console herself for having had men in her young days to please." The celebrated English geometrician, Huygens, visited Ninon during a sojourn at Paris in the capacity of ambassador.
The latter asserts, the former denies the theft. Which of the two lies? In order to ascertain the truth, let us put the two cubs to the cold water and hot iron trials, according to the law of our Salic Franks." The tribunal assembles. The count presides over the mahl on his seat; seven leudes, ranked on benches on either side, assist him. The torch-bearing slaves stand behind the judges.
