The knowledge of it, however, would, I am convinced, excite no wrath in the heart of Rogers, who would feel more sorrow than anger that one he believed his friend could have written so bitter a diatribe against him.
To this diatribe Roland made no reply, and the sixteen, seeing the attitude of their leader, hesitated to raise flagon to lip. The diplomatic Ebearhard seized a measure of wine and approached Roland. "Drink with us, Commander," he said aloud; and then in a whisper, "Greusel and I think you should." "Thank you, comrade," said Roland, taking the flagon from him.
But in the midst of the diatribe which Napoleon shortly afterwards shot forth at his would-be host a diatribe besprinkled with taunts that Lowe was sent to be his executioner there came a sentence which reveals the cause of his fury: "If you cannot extend my limits, you can do nothing for me." Why this wish for wider limits?
No wonder the end of all things is predicted. Miss Norsham paid little attention to the latter portion of this diatribe. As Sir Harry Brace was out of the matrimonial market it conveyed no information likely to be of use to her in the coming campaign. She wished to be informed as to the number and the names of eligible men, and forewarned with regard to possible rivals.
There is no "pause" in the day's occupation. The occupation goes right on till after these "children" are soundly asleep in their beds and begins again before they are awake in the morning. And all this is true even of us, right here in this select circle, the "favored ones," many would call us. But I am not giving a diatribe on American life, so will not pursue the matter farther.
But once he laughed sarcastically and burst, with all the Monty enthusiasm and emphasis, into a diatribe against Broad Churchmanship, the ignorance of laymen, the timidity of the clergy, wishy-washy sermons in short, the criminal lack of dogmatic teaching.
This seemed such monstrous nonsense to Jimmy that he turned his back on Pettigrew, and Gilray broke in with a diatribe against critics. "Critics," said Pettigrew, "are to be pitied rather than reviled." Then Gilray and Jimmy had a common foe.
On page 96 of this new book, which is a violent diatribe against the Jews, Nilus says: In 1901 I came into possession of a manuscript, and this comparatively small book was destined to cause such a deep change in my entire viewpoint as can only be caused in the heart of man by Divine Power. It was comparable with the miracle of making the blind see. "May Divine acts show on him."
Frederic had, by playing for his own amusement on the feelings of the two jealous and vainglorious Frenchmen, succeeded in producing a bitter enmity between them. Voltaire resolved to set his mark, a mark never to be effaced, on the forehead of Maupertuis, and wrote the exquisitely ludicrous Diatribe of Doctor Akakia.
How far you have given way to me the facts themselves show so many palpable crimes do you fasten on me; while my Diatribe was not even intended to stir up those matters which the world itself knows of. You imagine, I suppose, that Erasmus has no supporters. More than you think.
