His mother had been afraid of this taste for art, which, for a short time, had exercised such sway over his fancy, stimulated by his culte for the beautiful, that he had plead with her to win his father's consent for an art life.

"Hold fast their truth, which is a truth the world has always possessed, though its practice has been confined to the honest and laborious few. "Eschew their want of mind and taste. "Shrink with horror from that profane culte de laideur, that 'love of the lopsided, they have recovered from the foul receptacles of decayed art."

De Tocqueville indeed used to maintain that in this matter the English were not merely historically excusable but likewise politically judicious. He founded what may be called the culte of corporations.

For answer he bowed his head, in tender reverence for her thought: for the loyalty with which she sought and treasured every token of nobility that had been chronicled of her husband for the proud discretion with which she taught herself such utter silence on her wrongs for the great love which, growing to a culte through those years of girlish dreams and of fair anticipation, had made this attitude possible for her, who was all truth.

The most ancient Mithreum known, that at Ostia, was attached to the Metroon, the temple of Kybele. At Saalburg the ruins of the two temples are but a few steps apart. "L'on a tout lieu de croire que le culte du dieu Iranien et celui de la deesse Phrygienne vecurent en communion intime sur toute l'etendue de l'Empire."

Eh, being in London once, she had the idea to make herself a Quakre; wore the costume, consulted a minister of that culte, and quarrelled with him as of rule. It appears the Quakers do not beat themselves, otherwise my poor uncle must have paid of his person.
