With this in my mind I wandered out for a quiet place, and found it in a desolate green to the north of the city, near a huge, old red-brick church like a barn. A deep shadow beneath it invited me in spite of the scant and dusty grass, and in this country no one disturbs the wanderer. There, lying down, I slept without dreams till evening. AUCTOR. Turn to page 94. LECTOR. I have it.
To your lordship's zeal and industry without doubt is owing, that the Papists and the Tories have not delivered this kingdom over to the Pretender, so Caesar conquered Pompey that Legum auctor et eversor, and 'twas but just the liberty and laws of Rome should afterwards depend upon his will and pleasure.
AUCTOR. About fourteen miles, more or less... I passed through a town with a name as long as my arm, and I suppose the Bridge of Boats must have been nine miles on after that. LECTOR. And it rained all the time, and there was mud? AUCTOR. Precisely. LECTOR. Well, then, let us skip it and tell stories. AUCTOR. With all my heart.
Some people would say it was a man coming home from the Crusades that had made them this eastern way, others that it was a symbol of something or other. But I say LECTOR. What rhodomontade and pedantry is this talk about the shape of a window? AUCTOR. Little friend, how little you know! To a building windows are everything; they are what eyes are to a man.
They married and had three children Richard, Amy, and Cornelia. He rose to a high government position, was knighted, retired at sixty-three, and died at sixty-seven. He is buried at Kensal Green... AUCTOR. Thank you, Lector, that is a very good story. It is simple and full of plain human touches. You know how to deal with the facts of everyday life... It requires a master-hand.
LECTOR. What is all this? AUCTOR. It is a parenthesis. LECTOR. It is good to know the names of the strange things one meets with on one's travels. AUCTOR. So I return to where I branched off, and tell you that the river Po is here crossed by a bridge of boats. It is a very large stream.
This being told the King, he sent for the count, let him understand that he had heard of his menaces, then gave him a fine horse, bid him begone immediately, and defied him to do his worst. "Auctor turbarum Helias capitur; cui ante se adducto rex ludibundus, 'Habeo te, magister, inquit.
Cassius is mentioned more than once as "antiquissimus auctor," a term of compliment as well as chronological reference. Of him Niebuhr says: "He wrote about Alba according to its ancient local chronology, and synchronised the earlier periods of Rome with the history of Greece. He treated of the age before the foundation of Rome, whence we have many statements of his about Siculian towns in Latium.
AUCTOR. But remember, Lector, that the artist is known not only by what he puts in but by what he leaves out. LECTOR. That is all very well for the artist, but you have no business to meddle with such people. AUCTOR. How then would you write such a book if you had the writing of it? All that is meant by culture! The brown photographs! Oh! Above all, I would be terse. AUCTOR. I see.
I had best employ my time in telling the story of the Hungry Student. LECTOR. And if you are so worn-out and bereft of all emotions, how can you tell a story? AUCTOR. These two conditions permit me.
