How ever, some one may say, are not the multitude able to put us to death? Cri. This, too, is clear, Socrates, any one might say so. Socr. You say truly.
For, if you fear any thing of the kind, dismiss your fears; for we are justified in running the risk to save you and, if need be, even a greater risk than this. But be persuaded by me, and do not refuse. Socr. I am anxious about this, Crito, and about many other things. Cri.
Bringing sad tidings, Socrates, not sad to you, as it appears, but to me, and all your friends, sad and heavy, and which I, I think, shall bear worst of all. Socr. What tidings? Has the ship arrived from Delos, on the arrival of which I must die? Cri.
To give you two examples: you will meet in some French comedies, 'Cri', or 'Clameur de Haro'; ask what it means, and you will be told that it is a term of the law in Normandy, and means citing, arresting, or obliging any person to appear in the courts of justice, either upon a civil or a criminal account; and that it is derived from 'a Raoul', which Raoul was anciently Duke of Normandy, and a prince eminent for his justice; insomuch, that when any injustice was committed, the cry immediately was, 'Venez, a Raoul, a Raoul', which words are now corrupted and jumbled into 'haro'. Another, 'Le vol du Chapon, that is, a certain district of ground immediately contiguous to the mansion-seat of a family, and answers to what we call in English DEMESNES. It is in France computed at about 1,600 feet round the house, that being supposed to be the extent of the capon's flight from 'la basse cour'. This little district must go along with the mansion-seat, however the rest of the estate may be divided.
"That is not Freedom as I understand it," piped the little man, and one believed him, but could not refrain from murmuring with the poet: C'est que la Liberte n'est pas une comtesse Du noble Faubourg St. Germain, Une femme qu'un cri fait tomber en faiblesse, Qui met du blanc et du carmin; C'est une forte femme.
Through and through its teachings runs the feeling of the fullness of life, that desire which will not die, that wish of the soul which beats its wings against its earthly casement in its longing for expansion beyond the narrow confines of threescore years and ten. Buddhism, on the contrary, is the cri du coeur of pessimism. This life, it says, is but a chain of sorrows.
The world was to know her well; for her mother, always advocate of the dernier cri de la mode, had decided, months before, that she, like a dozen ladies of the highest Russian world, would adopt, for her daughter, the English fashion; and actually allow her, before her marriage, to face the living world of men and things.
The answer to the conundrum is Bombs! To-day, out here, bombs are absolutely dernier cri. We talk of nothing else. We speak about rifles and bayonets as if they were so many bows and arrows. It is true that the modern Lee-Enfield and Mauser claim to be the most precise and deadly weapons of destruction ever devised.
However, Crito, it would be disconsonant for a man at my time of life to repine because he must needs die. Cri. But others, Socrates, at your age have been involved in similar calamities, yet their age has not hindered their repining at their present fortune. Socr. So it is. But why did you come so early? Cri.
Let these directions be carried out sensibly, patiently, perseveringly, and three times out of four, or oftener still, the mother's ear will before many days be greeted by the loud cry, with its cri and reprise of which I have already spoken, and which assures her that her little one will live.
